Zilexa: Saïx, what're you doin'?
Saïx : Nothing. 'hides his diary in his coat'
Zilexa: 'reading over my shoulder' Haha. He has a diary.
Saïx : Liz, if you ever want to join The Organization, you will delete that conversation.
Zilexa: Or… you could use it to blackmail him into letting you join. Decisions, decisions…
Me: Thanks Zilexa. Sweet idea. 'grins evilly' –Liz9591
When I woke up, I was being dragged across a tiled floor. I tried to see where I was going, but I may as well have kept my eyes closed. I was blindfolded, bound, and gagged. At that moment, I realized that my captor was babbling to himself.
"Zilexa truly brought this upon herself. She is constantly making fun of me, and, just today, she cut off half of my remaining hair with a ninja star! So ill-mannered… Oh well, she won't bother me after tonight," It was Saïx! I had heard enough. I kicked and struggled against my bonds with all of my strength, but it did nothing.
"Ah, you're awake. All the better for me, but not so much for you," he cackled madly. I listened to where his voice had been coming from and shot a fire spell at him.
"No! That was the last of my hair! Wait a moment, who am I? Marluxia? That's it, you're done for!" I panicked and cast a lightning spell at him. Definitely not my best choice. I was in agony as the lightning went from Saïx, to me, and then to the ground. On top of all my other wounds, this pushed it way past my limit, and I passed out.
Demyx
I woke up on my bedroom floor, where Axel had just roughly thrown me.
"I'm up! I'm up! What is it, Ax?" I asked, annoyed.
"First, don't EVER call me that again, and, second, Saïx has completely cracked! He's taken Zilexa and he's trying to toss her into Atlantica!" he said in alarm. I immediately jumped up and started to run out the door. He yanked me back by the hood.
"Shhh. We've gotta be quiet. I know exactly where he is," Axel said. He walked through a portal, and I followed him in. We were standing in a gummi ship about thirty feet behind them. Why the Organization had a gummi ship is still a mystery to me. Suddenly, a hand covered my mouth and a blindfold was tied over my eyes.
"Demyx, it's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you. This is my idea. I knew you wouldn't agree before because you're so scared of heights. Saïx told me to bring you to him. I was going to trade for Zilexa. I figure throwing you into Atlantica won't do a thing to you because you're water, right? Well, I'll toss you in, get Saïx, and take us all home, got it memorized?" I was really scared of heights, but I nodded. I had to save Zilexa. Axel pulled my hands behind my back and held them there. I was roughly pushed along by Axel. Gotta act the part, right? I wasn't so sure.
Zilexa
I woke up inside a gummi ship. Saïx had taken the blindfold off while I was out, but not the metal wire or the gag. I heard a grunt behind me. I turned my head towards the sound and saw Demyx being pushed forward by Axel. Axel? Why?
"Saïx," Axel said, "I got Demyx. Now let Zilexa go." You would kill Demyx to save me?
"I want to see him go over first," Saïx said cruelly. Axel started pushing Demyx toward the open door. Demyx was shaking in fright. Everyone knew how scared he was of heights. Axel was about to push him over. I turned away.
"One…two…" he counted
"Wait! Zilexa, you should see this," Saïx walked to me and hauled me back over to the door. He suspended me in mid-air outside the ship. Axel whispered something in Demyx's ear before counting three and pushing him over. I closed my eyes.
"Now, release Zilexa," Axel commanded.
"I was hoping you would say that," Saïx said. He released his grip and let me fall into the watery chasm below.
Axel
I watched helplessly as Zilexa plummeted toward the ocean. I summoned my chakrams and threw one at the control panel. It fried, and the gummi ship was immobile, but still floating. I threw the other at Saïx, pinning his coat, and him, against the wall. I snapped my fingers and it erupted into flames. I ignored his screams. I then ran to the door. I had made up my mind. I'm going to dive into the water and rescue her. I stopped, just short of jumping, as I looked at the abyssal blue below. My element being fire, about five hundred and ten percent of me did not want to jump. Gotta save Zilexa.
I leaped. I was free falling for about three seconds before I remembered one crucial thing: I can't swim! I took a deep breath before I hit the water, but it was forced out of me upon impact. I was rapidly sinking deeper into the water. Panicking, I started flailing my arms and legs, but it had no effect. I need air. My mouth opened, and water rushed in. I saw a flash of blue-green scales as I lost consciousness.
Demyx
Axel gave me a gentle push, and I fell off the gummi ship. I raised my arms over my head and turned my awkward push into a graceful dive. I landed lightly in the water. I counted to three and began to swim up. It was really hard with my big, leather coat on, so I slipped it off before swimming all the way to the surface. Axel was right. It wasn't all that bad. The drop was terrifying, though.
I broke the surface of the water and looked up…right as Zilexa fell on top of me. Her downward momentum had pushed us both down about ten feet. Her eyes were closed and she fought to get up. I pulled us both, with some difficulty, to the surface. I took a breath and went back under to work on her bonds. It was tiring work, and I couldn't get the ones on her hands undone, just her feet, but I thought that would be sufficient while we waited for Axel. Where is he?
In about ten minutes, I was able to get all of Zilexa's bonds off, but Axel still hadn't arrived, and I decided to break for shore. I helped Zilexa slip her coat off, and we both began swimming toward the faint shoreline. I wanted to make a portal, but making one in the water is nearly impossible, and only one Nobody, Xemnas, had ever accomplished it, so we'd have to wait until we got to shore.
After nearly thirty minutes of swimming, I was doing fine, but Zilexa was quickly tiring. Occasionally, I would have to go back and help support her while she caught her breath. We were getting close to shore when I heard a faint noise behind a rock. Almost like a laugh.
"Hello?" I asked. Surely, someone has to live around here. I saw a flash of red hair as the figure turned away, "Axel?" I heard a small giggle, and a girl with long, flowing red hair came from behind the rock and swam over to us.
"My name's not Axel. It's Ariel, but I think I found who you're looking for," she explained cheerfully. She jumped out of the water, dolphin style, and I saw her…tail? She had a blue-green, long, scaly tail. In spite of this, we followed Ariel to shore, where a very wet and frizzy-haired Axel was sitting up on the sand, somewhat conscious. He looked awake, but his mind was obviously far away. He didn't seem to recognize either of us. I don't even think he saw us. I knew he hated water, but not that badly. I summoned a portal and helped him up. I let him lean on me as we walked through the portal, and home.
Zilexa: Where's Saïx , Liz?
Me: With Demi Lovato in rehab.
Zilexa: Oh… Wait who's she?
Me: Clueless
Zilexa: Hey!
Axel and Demyx: 'laugh'
Zilexa: As if you know.
Axel: Actually we do.
Demy: She's an actress. Don't you watch the news?
Zilexa: No. Since when did you?
Demy: 'looks heartbroken' Oil spill.
Axel: 'laughs'
I have a serious case of writer's block. Anyone got ideas? –Liz9591
