Castle Oblivion, a Kingdom Hearts Story
Floor Ten: Betrayal
"Axel!" I exclaim, shocked. "W-what are you doing here?"
Axel smirks again, brushing some dust off of his shoulder.
"I was going to play with the toy for a while," He explains, pointing to Sora. "But It's clear that you children shouldn't be together. I'll just have to separate you two, won't I?"
He clamps his hand over my mouth and wraps his free arm around me to keep my arms by my sides. I struggle to break free, trying to remove his hand, but fail.
"Let her go!" Sora shouts, getting into a fighting position with the Keyblade in his hands. Axel merely laughs.
"You honestly don't know anything," He states.
"What do you mean?" Sora demands.
"What I mean," Axel continues, "Is that she's dangerous to be around. She'll just kill you and come back to us."
I manage to remove his hand for an instant.
"Sora, that's not true!" I yell. "They're the ones tampering with-"
Axel, frustrated, puts his hand back in place, hushing me, and creates a portal.
"See you," He calls, stepping into it. Sora's face, full of confusion, disappears, and Marluxia's concerned face appears in its place. Axel releases me prior to the portal closing, but keeps his hands firmly pressed on my shoulders to keep me in place.
"This is Vexen's doing, isn't it?" Marluxia questions furiously. "Making you meet Sora so suddenly...What is he up to?"
He ponders something for a while, reassuringly finding a way to "counter" Vexen's doings. After a long pause, he finally speaks.
"Axel," he calls. Axel looks at him. "Go kill Vexen. We don't need him."
"Done," Axel responds. "But remember..." He opens a portal.
"...There's no taking that order back later."
The portal closes behind him, and all is silent. I look to Larxene, almost having forgotten of her existence, across the room, and to my surprise, another boy is beside her. He has white, medium-cut hair, spiked at the ends, and bright aqua eyes, but an apathetic expression.
He wears a suit, almost completely attached to him, that looks like it is made completely of veins and darkness. A peculiar symbol is embedded into the torso, one that doesn't look like the symbol on the Dusks that I saw on the day that Zexion took me out to practice magic, and the more I look at him, the more darkness I feel pours out of him.
"Ichu," Marluxia calls, snapping me out of my thinking. "You are going to be staying with Namine'."
"Namine'?" I question. "Isn't she-"
"She's the one in charge of messing up poor Sora's memories," Larxene interrupts, smirking.
"She is the reason that sora is lost."
