Larxene stared into the eyes of Riku and Sora. Her smile was a sadistic one; she was looking forward to fighting with the two Keyblade wielders. Sora felt the static in the room tingling at his fingertips and skin. He shook his hand to try and get rid of the tingling sensation and readied himself for the fight with Larxene. Riku got ready to dash at Larxene but the static cracked, sending him flying back into a wall. He groaned loudly as he felt his back smash into the wall, cracking the wall and causing him to drop his Way to Dawn Keyblade. His body slumped to the ground and his vision became blurry. His last sight before his eyes closed was Sora being sent back due to a two footed kick from the blonde organisation member.

Riku shook his head, the blurriness slowly clearing. His eyes narrowed at Larxene, the blonde woman having a lot of fun fighting the two teens. He glanced over at Sora who was climbing to his feet. Another crack echoed through the room and the brunette got sent flying backwards again. Riku clambered to his feet, picked his Keyblade from the ground and dashed at Larxene again.

"You losers are just too predictable," she laughed sending another wave of electricity towards the silver-haired teen. Riku flipped over the wave, landed in a roll and quickly began running towards the blonde. Her face scrunched in anger and she sent another wave towards him. This time Riku slid under the wave, quickly closing the distance between the two fighters.

Sora watched as his partner was still sprinting towards Larxene. Riku leapt into the air, ready to smash his Keyblade into the blonde. She smirked, spun on her heel and sent a wave crashing into his chest. His body fell against the ground and he groaned with pain. Sora hurried over to Riku, helping him to his feet. Riku's body felt like he'd been hit by a bus, he struggled to stand up. Sora helped him sit again and picked up Rikus' Way to Dawn. Holding both his Kingdom Key and Rikus' Keyblade he was ready to take down the blonde woman.

"Oh, two blades? Now I'm really scared," she said sarcastically. Soras' normally calm face had changed to one of extreme pain and anger.

"I'm not holding back anything now," he snarled. His feet pushed off the shining marble floor and he rushed towards the female Organisation member. She responded by tossing her yellow knives at him. Sora used both the Keyblades to deflect the knives as he closed the gap between them. Larxene felt pressured and continued the barrage of knives, each one being smacked away by the blades. The space between Larxene and Sora was closing quickly. Soras' body enveloped in light and he began slashing away at the blonde, each blade hitting quicker and quicker after the previous one. Larxene struggled to move away but Sora just kept hitting her. After the thirteenth hit Sora leapt into the air and slammed both Keyblades into the ground, pillars of light erupting from the ground and closing in around the blonde. The light enveloped Larxene and she screamed in pain, the light eating away at her darkness. The light shone brightly and quickly faded, leaving Larxene doubled over in pain.

"No... Nooooo! I refuse to lose to a bunch of losers! I... I'm fading?! NO...this isn't...the way I... I won't...ALLOW...!" she screamed as the darkness enveloped her. Sora huffed, his body feeling exhausted after that final attack. He dropped the Keyblades, the clang echoing through the now silent room. His legs gave way from under him, his body collapsing onto the floor.

"Now, that was an entertaining fight," laughed a deep, familiar voice. Sora strained to look around the room with his vision blurring. He wanted to sleep but he knew there was too much to do before he could rest.

Riku staggered over to Sora, falling to his knees beside him and wrapping his arm around the brunet.

"Sora, you okay?" asked Riku concerned for his partner. Sora nodded silently and looked to the exit of the room. Darkness rose from the door and Xigbar stepped out.

"You two make a cute couple, y'know?" he laughed, his two crossbow-like weapons in his hands. He took aim at the pair and let loose a barrage of violet, crystal-like arrows at the two teens. The pair closed their eyes, ready for their end. Sora opened his eyes in time to see a wall of fire separate the two teens from Xigbar.

"Sorry, Xig, I can't let you do that," said a smooth, velvet voice. The flames died down and standing in front of the pair was a man wearing a black Organisation coat. The hood was already down and Sora noticed the long, flame red hair. The man turned to the teens and smiled, the tattoos under his eyes scrunching up slightly. "Name's Axel, got it memorized?" Sora nodded and watched the pair fight. Axels' flames burned away the violet arrows shot by Xigbar.

"You got this?" asked Riku, helping Sora to his feet. Axel nodded and threw a flaming Chakram towards the one-eyed Organisation member.

"You're betraying the Organisation, Axel?" questioned Xigbar angrily.

"I'm doing this for Roxas," growled Axel. He threw another Chakram towards Xigbar, who deflected it with his Arrowguns.

"Xemnas won't allow traitors to our cause!" yelled The Freeshooter.

"I'm done caring about Xemnas and his orders!" shouted Axel throwing both Chakrams at once. Xigbar smiled and dodged the attack.

"YOU'RE DEFENSELESS NOW!" he laughed, firing a huge barrage at Axel.

"Wrong," smiled Axel flicking his hand through the air. Another wall of fire rose from the ground, burning the arrows to ash. Pushing through the wall the fire tunnelled towards Xigbar, his coat catching fire. Smoke and darkness rose from his body as the fires died down.

"You'll face the full force of the Organisation now, you hot-headed punk," groaned Xigbar, the burning pain surging through his body. His arrowguns dropped to the ground and darkness engulfed the male.

The smell of burnt flesh and singed hair filled the room. Axel turned to the pair who had been sat watching the whole fight from beginning to end.

"Axel?" asked Riku receiving a nod in response from the red head, "what's happening here?"

"I can't tell you, you'll have to find out. Climb this castle to the final room and you'll know," he replied before walking into a Corridor of Darkness, "just try and avenge Roxas…"

His voice trailed off the Corridor of Darkness disappeared behind Axel. Sora looked to Riku who nodded silently.

"Let's get going then," said Sora forcing himself to stand. Riku nodded and helped Sora stand up. The pair walked towards the door at the end of the room but Sora stopped. He reached out his hand and felt a power rush through him. He looked down to his Keyblade and smiled, watching the small plant leaves dance around the blade.

Author Note: Well, I finally updated this. I'm sorry it took so long so I'll try and make updates at least once a week/fortnight. So, Sora has the Cure spell and Ars Arcanum. I wonder what will happen in the next chapter now that three of the thirteen members are dead and one is a traitor.
