I woke up sore from the practice fight Roxas and I had yesterday. Even though we had it after breakfast, we slept until the next day. I got up and slowly and left my room. Since I didn't change out of my clothes, I didn't have to waist time to go see how Roxas is. When I got to his room, I knocked and the door opened.
"Hey Axel," he said, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as he walked out of his room.
"Hey. Did you get enough sleep?" I asked.
He looked as sore as I was.
"I'm ok," he said as we walked to the kitchen for breakfast.
Just like yesterday, we met up with Demyx on the way.
"You guys look horrible! No more fighting for you two," he said when he saw us.
"Yes mother," Roxas said and we laughed a little.
"Demyx, you're cooking breakfast today," I said when we entered the kitchen.
"Fine, what do you want?" he asked, making his way to the pantries.
"How about an omelet?" I asked and Roxas nodded in agreement.
"Ok. Just don't blame me if it's bad," Demyx said, getting some eggs out of the fridge.
I don't remember falling asleep, but I woke up to Demyx shaking my shoulder.
"Ok I'm up," I said sleepily.
I looked over at Roxas and he was asleep with his forehead on the counter. Demyx shook him and he woke up, falling off the barstool. He fell on his butt and glared at Demyx, although it didn't stop us from laughing at him. In the middle of his forehead was a big red mark from him sleeping with it pressed on the counter. Roxas got up, rubbing the mark on his forehead, and got back on his barstool. Before he could say anything, Demyx pushed a plate of omelets in from of us. We grabbed our forks and stuffed our mouths with omelet. We were really hungry since we missed lunch and dinner yesterday.
"This is really good Demyx," Roxas said around the omelet in his mouth.
"Mhm," I agreed.
"You aren't just saying that are you?" Demyx asked, sitting next to us and filling his plate with omelet.
"No, this is really good," Roxas said before stuffing more omelet in his mouth.
After all the omelet was gone, we left the kitchen and went to the Gray Room. When we got there, we sat down at one of the couches and relaxed.
"So when do you think I have to go on a mission?" Roxas asked.
"I don't know. I just hope I can go with you, we need to make up for the three years you were gone," I said.
"Hey! What about me?" Demyx asked.
"You too," Roxas said with a chuckle.
"Good," Demyx said.
"Hey do you think we can go to Halloween Town sometime soon?" Roxas asked.
"Sure. Maybe after your mission, when ever that is, we'll go," I said.
"Cool," he said.
Just then, Saix came in.
"Roxas, you will go to Port Royal and kill the heartless there. Demyx will go with you," Saix said before turning to me. "Axel, you will go to Twilight Town. At the train station, you will go on the Ghost Train. When it reaches Yen Sid's Tower, you will kill the heartless there. After you are done you will get back on the train and it will go back to Twilight Town."
When he finished, he tossed me a small bag. When I caught it, I heard the jingle of munny. And with that, he turned and left.
"Well…I guess that answers your question Roxas," I said.
"Yup," he said.
"Why do they always send me? They know I can't fight," Demyx complained.
"Maybe they're trying to get you to learn on the job," Roxas said.
"Well I don't want to," he whined.
"Demyx, stop whining and head out to Port Royal with Roxas. The faster you two get there, the faster you guys will be done," I said.
With a nod, Demyx and Roxas got up. Demyx opened a portal and went through, Roxas hesitated.
"After we finish the mission, will we meet up at the usual place?" he asked me.
"Of course. Well eat sea-salt ice cream and relax," I said with a smile.
Roxas smiled back and went through the portal. I watched as the portal vanished. When it was gone, I got up with a sigh and opened another portal. I went through and came out on top of Clock Tower. I jumped off and landed in front of the entrance of the station. I walked in, paid for a ticket, and waited for the train. While I sat at a bench, I noticed a small group of kids looking at me and whispering. The tallest, who seemed to be the leader, started to make his way over to me.
He wore a blue crop-top vest with white lining underneath, a floor-length white jacket, baggy, aubergine colored pants, with the legs tucked into black combat boots with light blue laces. His eyes are blue-green and his hair, partially visible under his black tuque, is blond.
Following behind him was a girl. She was wearing a sleeveless blue jacket and Capri pants. Her pants have irregularly placed pockets: one on her right thigh and one on her lower left leg. Her hair is roughly jaw-length and light steel blue, while her right eye appears to be red or reddish brown. Her left eye is covered by long fringes of hair. She wears shoes of the same color as her hair.
Next to her was a tanned boy with short black hair and sideburns. The boy is tall and very muscular. His clothes consist of an orange tank top and baggy dark sweatpants over wide shoes. Around his neck, he wears a thunderbolt necklace. His orange tank top also sports two thunderbolts on the upper back near the arms.
Next to him walked a strange creature. It's has a large, tan hat with a tip that flops over and curls, with an open zipper resembling a mouth in the middle of the hat, and two "eyes" just above this, shaped like a pale green star on the left and another, oblong shape on the right. The creature wears a sky blue coat with fancy, dark blue lining, secured by a tan string tied in a more complex manner. The white cuffs of this jacket are over-sized and sport similar lining to the rest of the jacket, though brown instead of blue. The sleeves cover half of his hands, which are themselves covered by brown gloves. It's jacket also has two large pockets on the front, each kept closed by a vertical white strap connected to a sky blue button. His pants are green and held up by a brown belt. It's face and body, partially visible under his jacket, is pitch black his oval eyes are almost glowing yellow. The creature's features reminded me of a heartless, but I coult tell it wasn't.
"Hey you," the leader said when the group was in front of me.
"What do you want," I asked, not liking this kids attitude.
"I want you to go. We don't like outsiders," he said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"As you seem to have not noticed, I am waiting for the train. So would you please go bother someone else," I said, fighting the urge to teach this brat some manners.
"You can't tell us what to do, we're Twilight Disciplinary Committee," he said.
"Ya so do what we tell you y'know," the tanned kid said.
"What if I don't want to?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Then we'll make you," the leader said, lunging at me.
I raised my boot and kicked him back. He flew into the wall behind him and slid to the ground and got back up.
"That's it, you're gonna get it now!" he said, running at me.
When he was close enough, I punched him and he flew back into the wall again.
"Hey, you can't do that to Seifer!" the tanned kid said before lunging at me.
I kicked him square in the chest and he flew back and hit the wall, landing next to Seifer. The girl raised her fists and came at me. Now, I don't like hurting girls. When she threw a punch, I grabbed her wrist and pushed her over to the others. I looked to the creature and he just stood there. That's when I realized what it was, it was a Nobody in disguise. I laughed and sat back down.
"Rai! Get up and help me with this guy," Seifer said, getting up again.
"Fuu, did he hurt you?" Rai asked.
Fuu shook her head and looked at me. They got up and ran at me at the same time but I didn't get up. Instead, when they got to me, I jumped up and swung my leg at them; hitting Seifer. The force of the hit sent him crashing into Rai who intern collided with Fuu. They fell to the ground and before they could get up, I saw my train pull in.
"Well my train is here. See you kids around," I said, walking to the train.
"Who are you?" I heard Seifer ask.
"Axel, A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?" I asked, tapping my head with my finger.
"Next time you come here, you're so gonna get it," Seifer said as I got on the train.
I waved at them as the train pulled away. I have to ask Roxas about them when we meet up at the Clock Tower.
