Ch.7 Magic

The next day Roxas had went off on a mission with one of the other members, and Axel didn't have any missions for the day. Axel was relaxing on one of the couches in the Grey Room, and he was about to fall asleep when Maxine walked up to him, "Hi Axel."

Axel opened his eyes, "Oh, hi Maxine. What's up?" Axel said as he sat up on the couch.

"Do you think you could teach me magic today? You didn't get to before."

Axel remember that he promised that he would teach her magic but then that day happened...the day where he lost Enima to the heartless and she became a nobody. But now that she was a nobody he had decided that he would still protect her, and training her more was the best thing to do. "Alright, I'll teach you how to use magic, I did promise you after all." Axel said as he stood up and stretched.

"Yay!" Maxine said joyfully easing her hands up in the air.

"Meet me in the Hall of Empty Melodies, place where we have trained before, ok?"

"Ok I got it." Maxine said before running out of the room.

Axel smiled a little and exited the Grey Room. On the way to the Hall of Empty Melodies Axel stopped by a small supply closet, he opened it up and picked up a sword, the sword Maxine had before she had become a nobody. Axel looked at the sword for a moment, thinking about Maxine...or really her somebody Enima. Axel closed the closet and walked into Hall of Empty Melodies, where Maxine was already waiting. "Here Maxine, here's your sword."

Maxine smiled and took the sword, "Thanks Axel." She swung it around a little and then faced Axel, "I am ready to learn magic Axel."

"Wait, before that I think I should teach you one thing."

"What?" Maxine asked.

"I want to try and teach you how to summon and desummon your sword. So then you won't have to carry it around all the time."

"Ok Axel...but what do you mean by summoning it?"

"Here I'll show you what I mean." Axel said as he stretched his arms out and in a fiery blaze his chakrams appeared in his hands. Then after a moment he desummoned them and they disappeared.

"Wow that's so cool!" Maxine said in amazement. I guess I'll try now." Maxine closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then in an instant her sword disappeared from her hand! "Axel!" She said excitedly, "I did it!"

"Hey, good job." Axel said, "Now can you resummon it?"

"I'll try." Maxine said as she held out her hand a took a another deep breath. After a few seconds her sword appeared back in hand. "Wow! I did it Axel!" She said proudly.

Axel chuckled, "Alright, that's great Maxine. Ok now you are ready to learn magic."

"Yay!" Maxine said happily.

"Ok so I will start off by teaching you the magic spell, fire, since it is my specialty."

Maxine giggled, "You know Axel, your hair kinda looks like fire." She couldn't help but continue to giggle.

"Hey...that's not very funny." Axel said.

Maxine slowly stopped laughing, "Sorry Axel, but when I first met you I almost thought your hair was on fire."

"Let's just see if you can learn some magic, ok?" Axel said, wanting to get off of the subject of his spiky red hair.

"Now when you cast magic you cast it through your weapon. So...lets see...I think the best way to see if you can magic a fire spell is to concentrate on the spell and then shout the name of it."

"But what should I try to hit?" Maxine asked.

"Umm..."Axel said as he thought for a second, "Over there, trying using a fire spell on those." Axel pointed to some jars that were on the other end of the room. The jars were sometimes used for members to practice their endurance, along with some dusk nobodies, but it would be fine for Maxine to practice her magic since no one else was there at the time.

"Ok I'll try." Maxine walked a little closer to the jars and held out her sword at them. She took a few slow breaths before shouting, "Fire!" A small, fiery ball of flames shot out of her sword and smashed into two of the jars. The jars crumbled into piece. "Axel! Look! I did it!" Maxine said as she jumped up and down excitedly.

Axel stood there impressed. He didn't think Maxine would be able to do it on her first try. "Maybe it's just a beginners luck thing." Axel thought to himself as he walked over to Maxine and patted her on the head. "Hey, great job. Do you think you can do it again?"

Maxine nodded her head. "Yeah I'll try again." She aimed her sword at another jar and said, "Fire!" Once again a small ball of fire hit the jar, destroying it.

"You're doing great. The more you practice the better and stronger your magic will get." Axel said.

"When will I learn other kinds of magic?" Maxine asked.

"I'll try and teach you other magic once you've gotten the hang of using fire magic. Though I'm not the best at other magic."

"That's ok Axel. But thank you for teaching me how to use magic. You are the best teacher" Maxine said as she went to Axel and gave home a hug. Axel smiled and patted Maxine on her head again. Maxine looked up from Axel after she hugged him. "Can we go get some ice cream? Like we did yesterday?"

"Sure, lets go. You earned it" Axel said.

Maxine and Axel entered the clock tower rooftop with their ice cream in their hands. They sat down and started eating their ice cream. "I love coming here and having ice cream. It's so fun." Maxine said as she took a bite of her ice cream.

Axel had his ice cream bar in his mouth so he just nodded back at Maxine.

After Maxine finished her ice cream she started to yawn. Axel held the ice cream stick in his hand and looked at Maxine, "Hey are you going to fall asleep on me again?"

Maxine smiled, "But I like to fall asleep on you, because then you carry me back and I don't have to walk back." She said with a little laugh.

"Does that mean you were pretending to be asleep yesterday?" Axel asked.

Maxine laughed, "I was sort of asleep."

Axel crossed his arms, "Well I'm not going to be carrying you back every time."

"Maxine scooted close to Axel, "Could you give me a piggy back ride then? Please? Please Axel?" Maxine pleaded.

"What? No way...I am not giving you a piggy back ride." Maxine widened her eyes and looked at Axel with a sad face. "Come on...don't give me that face." Maxine continued to give Axel her pleading face, Axel finally sighed and gave in. "Alright fine..."

"Yay!" Maxine said as she stood up and walked behind Axel and climbed onto his back. "Let's go!"

Axel let out another sigh, but with a small smile on his face, "Alright." He stood up, with Maxine still holding on to his back. He summoned a dark corridor and walked through it.

Back in The Castle that Never Was, Axel brought Maxine back to her room. And let her let go of him and fall onto her bed. She smile, "Thanks Axel. You're the best."

Axel scratched the back of his head, "Yeah, I know." Axel headed to the door. "Goodnight Maxine."

"Night, Axel." Maxine side as she cuddled up in her bed.

Axel walked back to his room, he started to not think about Maxine and how she had become a nobody. Axel decided to stopping thinking about that and focus on now. He would continue to train her and protect as best as he could. Axel kind of felt like he was a big brother to Maxine, and he liked it that way.
