Like usual, Riku was the first to wake up. He got up carefully, not to wake Sora up, and quietly went down stairs to check up on everyone and everything. Riku peaked in and noticed that Roxas was up his head leaning against and looking out the window sleepily.
Riku looked around and realized he had survived the night with his worst enemies and it was weird seeing them sleeping on his living room floor. Riku walked over and tapped Roxas on the shoulder, the blond jumped and looked over at Riku then back out the window.
" You hungry? " Riku whispered. Roxas looked back up at Riku and nodded. " Well then come on, we need to fix breakfast for nine people." Riku chuckled quietly, as did Roxas. Roxas stood up and they both carefully stepped around everyone and into the kitchen; Riku shut the door.
" Well what to fix." Riku mumbled absentmindedly.
" Everyone loves pancakes." Roxas said as he heaved himself on the tall stool. Riku thought for a moment.
" How much does everyone eat?"
Roxas thought out loud " Well Xemnas can eat three, Lex, well he's polite he'll eat how ever many you give him, Zexion doesn't eat much; one would do it for him. Saix doesn't care. Axel can eat three, Larxene can eat two and I can eat two. I'm guessing Sora eats more?" Roxas gave a small laugh.
Riku laughed as he began searching for the ingredients " Ya he can eat like five!" Roxas chuckled and watched Riku mix the ingredients together and whatever you put them on to cook 'em. Eventually everyone woke up to the smell of pancakes and came in to see if they could possibly get some.
" Oh man, Riku! You are the best cook!" Axel grinned as he took another bite.
" Yea its cause he poisoned yours, or maybe that when you try to fix them they burn to a dark crisp." Roxas joked.
" You can't cook either blonde." Axel retorted as he playfully shoved Roxas and took another bite. After that it was awkward for a while, with Xemnas and Saix sitting there it was hard to talk. Sora was too scared to it still just wasn't right to be eating pancakes with your enemies in your best friends house! Sora sighed and took his place into the kitchen, and unfortunately for Sora so did Xemnas. Sora as fast as his hands would let him, washed his plate as Xemnas stared at him.
It was very uncomfortable to have orange eyes watching you wash but Sora tried not to show intimidation. Sora put his plate away and then went to rush over towards the door but didn't get far before a hand grabbed his wrist and pinned him to the wall. Sora's heart started to beat faster.
" You still fear me, I can see it in your eyes." The gray haired man smirked as Sora stared. " Good you better be, just because your helping us doesn't mean I like it. This wasn't even my idea, I never even would have thought of it, nor wanted to. But I guess we just have to bear it for now."
Xemnas leaned over to whisper something into Sora's ear when they heard a plate set down on the sink. Xemnas froze and turned to see Roxas washing his plate, dried it off then put it away and walked away rubbing his forehead mumbling. " That is sooo wrong...."
Xemnas blinked so did Sora, what did Roxas mean ' so wrong'? Then it hit both of them like a pack of bricks, both of them scooted away from each other.
" Pervert..." Sora mumbled
" It's your Nobody, he got the wrong idea. " Xemnas said then smirked as he walked out of the kitchen. Sora frowned then walked out also, everyone was staring at them as they both came out. Riku walked over to Sora and yanked him behind him giving Xemnas a cold hard glare then walked off into another room with Sora. Xemnas shook his head and sighed. " It really wasn't what it looked like..."
Axel grinned and walked into the kitchen. "Suuuure."

Later they all decided to rest for that day, expect Zexion who went to the Library to read up on Wiccan magic.
The eight played Disney Scene It, it was down to Sora and Roxas, the other were way far back and ended up forfeiting. Roxas rolled the dice, it was two and Your Choice (you'd get it if you have played the game before). Roxas picked Single Question (I don't have any clue what its called, its been a few years its something like that, its the one where only you get to answer).
Then question came up on the screen then the timer signaling he had to answer. The question was: What was the name of the movie where this character was in it. Them it showed a picture of Tinkerbelle.
Roxas thought for a moment as the seconds ticked. He saw her once, but where? Then it clicked, he made her fly and he was so excited to tell Axel after the mission. It was down to two seconds when Roxas announced
" Peter Pan!" Sora's smile faded when Roxas answered and it came up correct. Roxas landed his piece in the winning circle with a smack then grinned then after that second everything started to shake violently then it stopped after a couple of seconds.
Then everyone heard a weird sound, it sounded like it was getting closer and closer. Riku paled and shoved Sora down
" Get down!" Riku jumped down, as did everyone else following those couple seconds a car came crashing through the wall. Stopping before it could hit anyone. Then many crashing sounds could be heard from outside, Riku groaned then they ran outside to Riku's front porch.
"Gosh Roxy, you might need to lay off the games for a while." Axel said as he gave a small nervous chuckle. A car had just came through Riku's wall and now they were standing outside looking at what looked like a storm coming in. There were people looking up at the sky confused because it supposedly wasn't supposed to storm that day. Zexion came running up to us breathing heavily and with more than a few books in hand.
" Crap..."
" What's wrong?" Xemnas asked, Zexion was still out of breath when he stopped but straightened himself back out.
"Its almost over, I can't learn spells this fast." Everyone froze. It was over, all over, they would get their memories erased, live different lives, everything would be lies.
" Damn it!" Axel pounded his fist on the side of the porch, well what was left of it. Everyone stood in silence.
" So this is it..." Namine said after a while of silence. " We can't do anything to stop it?" Zexion sighed.
" I'm afraid not. I can lean spells, but not all in one day. All we can do now, is wait."
They sat around for hours boredly playing video games, board games, drawing, cooking, whatever they could find to pass the time. Except for Zexion and Axel. They were sitting in Riku's study room trying to figure out how to do certain spells, maybe they could keep some of their memories so that they would remember a little something.
Axel groaned and sat back in his chair laying his head back." Zexion, we're not gonna find anything, even if we could how could we when we lost out powers?"
" I don't know but if demons and use it then we should-" Zexion paused and Axel looked back up and gave a confused look.
"What-"
" Shh..." Zexion looked around the room. " Do you here that?" Axel sat up and listened then it came. A hissing sound, coming from all around them.
"Snakes?" Axel whispered and Zexion shook his head.
" No...it doesn't sound like any snake I have heard of." Zexion whispered back. After that the noise suddenly stopped. Axel realized he was holding his breath then slowly let it out. Silence still. Axel laughed nervously.
" Must have been-"
" Look out!" Zexion shoved Axel down as a demon burst through the wall. Zexion stood up and grabbed the nearest thing, a pencil sharpener. Zexion sighed and threw it at the demon but it just bounced off leaving not even a mark nor even a flinch.
" Oh shit." Axel said as the demon started to walk towards them while making hissing sounds. Zexion dove for the book on the table and flipped it open and hurriedly searched for the right page. " Zexion....hurry up." They were now backed up against the wall, Zexion looked around, where was everyone else?
Zexion murmured a few words and the demon started making a hissing/screeching sound and then vanished. Axel; stared white eyed.
" I don't know how you did that but it doesn't matter, what matters is why didn't anyone come in to see what the noise was?" Zexion's head shot up.
" We're being attacked." Axel cursed under his breath. " Not just us, everyone else too." Zexion opened the blinds to see people running around and screaming and followed by demons. Zexion quickly closed the blind. " We might not make it to our next life. Alik-i must be eliminating people to make it easier to control for a while till he can handle more people."
" So he's pretty much-"
" Trying to be a god..." Zexion finished as he reasoned out his own reasoning. Zexion swung the door open and saw everyone gone and almost half the house.
" Oh man, where did they-" Axel once again didn't get to finish his sentence when a huge beam of light surrounded a few houses then they exploded. Zexion along with Axel stood stunned as they took in their surroundings. " Its like a damn Apocalypse."
" Well, well, look who's still standing." Zexion and Axel whirled around to see Demyx, with a few demons around him, sitting on a pile of debris.
" Slad." Zexion said with much venom. Slad grinned
" The one and only!"
--- Zexion's POV ---
" What do you want?" I snapped
" Oh Zexion, I'd be careful with what I would say when you're around me, or any demon to be exact." Slad's sharp white teeth showed as he grinned. Axel rolled his eyes.
" We're grateful for your help so far, but what the hell is going on?!" Axel yelled.
" What do you think? Its the end of the worlds as you know it, boys. A whole new one will be created in its place, one where demons and move about freely." Slad paused " Its great for me, but for you, I guess it doesn't matter, you wont remember. It's only a matter of time, though." I sighed.
" Can we talk to Demyx?" Slad's smile disappeared.
" What, you don't like me?"
" No its not that at all, we just want to talk to our friend."
Slad sighed. " Fine, but be careful he's pretty weak, I've been borrowing some of his strength. " Slad mumbled a few words before collapsing to the ground. Axel and I stood there for a moment before...
" Man, I'm hungry." I smiled a little as did Axel. We both walked over to Demyx and knelt down. Axel was the first to speak.
" Are you okay?" Demyx opened his eyes and blinked a few times.
" Yea...I feel a little weird but I'm good." Demyx slowly sat himself up then chuckled " I didn't think I'd ever get to move myself again, it feels so good. Its boring to watch Slad move for me, I have no freedom." Demyx flexed his arms.
" Demyx do you know what's going on?" I asked, Demyx looked back up at us then looked away.
" I'm not allowed to say things what you don't know yet, but yes, I know what's going on." Demyx sighed " If you need me to do something I can't help you. You'll have to ask Slad. I'm not free in my own body." Demyx's had a bit of anger in it but his eyes showed no emotion.
" Do you still have your element?" Demyx nodded.
" Yes, Slad needs it. " That was the part he was taking from Demyx, he was still it. Emotionless. A Nobody.
" I'm so sorry, Demyx." Axel said. " I tried to help you escape but-" Demyx smiled.
" Don't worry about it, this will all work out." I stared at Demyx. He always had some optimism even when the situation couldn't get any worse. We didn't say anything for a moment before Axel started a new topic.
" So, what's it like? I mean have Slad..." Demyx laughed.
" It's as boring as hell, all you can do it watch. You can't move at all, can't talk out loud, can't eat..."
" What about sleep?" Axel asked
" He knows human bodies get worn out, and he can't move around a lot unless I am wake so he does let me sleep. For the food part, well Slad doesn't have to eat at all so once in a while he forgets that I have to eat and I have to remind him." Axel and I hummed and another silence among us, actually it was quiet everywhere. Demyx's head shot up.
" You need to go." Axel and I gave a puzzled look.
" Run, He's coming." I could feel a huge lump in my throat. I knew who the he was, and by the way Axel paled it looked like he did too. " RUN!" I grabbed Axel's arm and began to run. I didn't know where, but it had to be somewhere where we won't be caught. Not long after that Axel was running on his own.
"Where are we going, Zexion?" I didn't say anything, I had no idea but I would find a place...I would. Axel didn't ask anymore questions but just kept running with me.
---
He crossed his arms. " You let them get away..." I winced at he slapped me across the face. " You were supposed to keep them here, do you want them to suffer even more?" I glanced frighteningly up at him.
" N-no...I just-"
" You just what?! You don't do anything without my consent, understand?" He slapped me again but I didn't say a word and just looked down. " I said...do you understand?"
I nodded " Yes."
He smirked " Good, now Slad, I need you to find his little two run away friends and bring them to me."
Slad nodded then stood up " Yes, Sir."
" They headed East, they couldn't have gotten far. You're a powerful demon, you should be able to track them down easily, right?" Slad didn't say anything then took off towards the East.
---
"Zexion..." Axel said quietly as we sat against a wall in a deserted home.
" Yea?"
"...Where do you think everyone else is? Where will we all go for...everything that's going to happen?" I leaned my head back against the wall and closed my eyes.
" I don't know. It's probably where everyone else is right now. I am wondering though, why didn't we hear anything when they were being attacked?"
" Why was our room the only one barely damaged?" We pondered our questions for a while, silence was every where, you couldn't hear a thing.
" The spell...you know the one Slad put over us in the abandoned hotel...that must be it."
" But what about that demon that came through the wall?"
" It must have been Slad's, which means he is defiantly someone to watch out for...." Axel stayed quiet for a moment.
" I wonder what we'll be like...." I turned to Axel.
" Huh?"
" I mean, we can't run forever, someone's bound to find us, ya know? When we have out new lives...I wonder what we'll be like, our normal selves? Like our Somebody's? Or will we go back to our Somebody's and...that's it? I want to have my own life, want to make my own choices..." Axel paused. " Not be bossed around but some old guy who's obsessed with a heart shaped moon that probably wont get us anywhere." I chuckled at the truth of the matter.
" Yea, that would be nice...if you could choose a profession what would it be?" Axel leaned his head back and thought.
" I dunno..." I hummed " What about you?"
" I don't know either."
" I guess we'll find out soon enough." Axel gave a weak smile. " The only good thing about this is the whole finally being able to exist thing. Its...kinda nice, but bad at the same time. It's like all a rush, ya know? Like when you're first born, you don't know what to do so you cry." That wasn't exactly it but I understood what he was talking about.
" Yea..." I rested my head back into place and closed my eyes.
" I actually hope they find us, I want to get this over with."
" Feeling scared? "
" Sorta, more like nervous. I'm not sure how to exactly handle it but I guess I'll learn over time." Axel chuckled lightly. We didn't say anything for a long time. I pondered on what I would maybe do or look like. Would I look the same? Act the same? How do I even act?
I sighed inwardly, this was pathetic,, Axel and I were hiding in some person who doesn't even exist yet, home waiting for our type of ' Judgement ' to come upon us. It wasn't much longer we sat in the house when we heard footsteps come towards us. I heard Axel shift slightly, we knew who it was, we may not be able to see him but we knew and sure as hell we were scared. The footsteps stopped in front of us but it stayed quiet.
" Well you boys weren't hard to find, since you're almost the only living thing alive it wasn't hard. I know you'll cooperate, right?" Axel and I stayed quiet. " Great!" Slad walked up to us so we could see him more clearly. Slad chanted some words I couldn't understand. As soon as he ended the chant I was engulfed in darkness. " Good night, boys."
