Chapter 7: Luxord

Thank you all for voting and reviewing! It was a tough choice, but Luxord got the most votes in the end. So here we go, the Gambler of Fate's turn.

Now, if any of you guys have any request for how the characters do the challenge or if you want anything else in the chapter, please tell me and I'll see what I can do about it. I already have several suggestions, just so you don't feel left out if you do have one or more.

Your remaining choices are: Xaldin, Vexen, Lexeaus, Zexion, Demyx, Roxas, and Xion.

Enjoy the story!


"Luxord. Please step forward." Xemnas raised his hand up to his face to massage his forehead. Whether it was the heat or the challenge that was giving him the headache you can only guess.

"Right here and present my lord," he said politely, even giving a slight bow for dramatic flare. Such was the artistic manner of the Organization's resident gambler.

"Whatever dude," Xigbar said, still panting from his run. Right now he wouldn't mind getting a second dunking, his run through the heat of the desert city had left him drenched with sweat. Luxord turned and narrowed his eyes at him, but shrugged it off and walked to the spot where he would be dunked.

Saix snapped his fingers and a dusk appeared out of a dark corridor. From the last dunking, he decided there were not to be any more risks being taken. The dusk took the bucket by its handle and acrobatically zoomed towards Luxord. The dusk hopped up onto some clotheslines up above him and poured down the liquid and ice down upon the man's head.

Luxord yelled in startled surprise, thinking that the time he spent running would have had given time for the water to heat up so it was more bearable. Guess he didn't realize how cold the water was against his burning up temperature. When every last dropped poured out he just stood there shivering, before stiffly making his way to a vacant space in the crowd.

Xigbar quickly made a small portal, just big enough to send his arm in through to s portal made near the towels. He pulled one up from the top, pulled his arm out and threw the towel over Luxord's head. The gambler reacted swiftly as the towel covered his entire head, yanking it down and giving a harder glare at the sniper, who grinned shamelessly back, completely unfazed by the look being received.

Axel gave a small smile at the scene till before long he felt a tug at his sleeve. Turning down he met eyes with Roxas's.

"That was pretty uneventful, don't you think, Axel," he asked. Axel nodded and ruffled the younger member's tousled, honey-brown hair.

"Yep, let's home the rest of them are the same. We still haven't done you two yet, you know," he replied. Roxas pulled away from Axel's hand and shook his head no along with Xion.

"I'm excited and nervous to do it. I want to do it but I'm scared it's gonna hurt," Xion admitted. Axel facepalmed.

"We're Nobodies, Xi. We can't feel excitement or nervous. And second, it's not gonna hurt. It's just really, really, really cold and wet. But c'mon, you have me, the awesome, handsome flame wielder to get you warmed up so quickly you won't even remember getting soaked with cold water," he reassured. Both kids nodded and smiled at the pyro.

Just then, the crunching of sand and the heavy panting from a man could be heard nearby. A black-cloaked, pink-haired man crawled across the burning sand and into the shade where they all are. Marluxia. He had finally caught to to them, panting in the sand, absolutely hot and tired, but, hey, he still made it. He looked up with tired, blue eyes and looked up at Luxord ad Xigbar.

"You," he panted out. "Huff, I will, huff, huff, destroy you, huff, both." Both grinned back.

"Mm hmm. I'm sure you will Marly, I'm sure you will," Xigbar said. The other Nobodies snickered in response. Marluxia said nothing, he just turned his head to the side as he laid in the shade.

Xemnas began shifting through the remaining papers again. Seven papers remained in the bowl, so only seven members left to be dunked till they were done. Who was it gonna be next?


Your votes guys. Tell me who you want and I'll added to my tally mark list and figure out who has the most points. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. See you again soon! Goodbye! Sincerely, v.t.7
