A/N: Hoe Mah Gawd! There's a POV change in here! It's amazing… And it won't happen often. It wasn't supposed to happen, but it did, so deal with it.
Not only am I sick, I think I've gone stir crazy too. Oh well! (So they sent a small child to kill me! Well, I'm not going down without a fight! … Yes, I am watching Futurama) My chapters are getting shorter and shorter... I'm going to have to do something about that! I've been meaning to say this for a couple of chapters. I'm Australian, but I've read too many American fics, which means my spelling has become some kind of American/Australian mix. Sorry!
Moving on, enjoy this chapter!
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
With a look of absolute glee, I practically skipped over to the armoury, some of the new recruits giving me strange looks. I ignored them, knowing they'd get used to my 'moods' eventually. Besides, I was too happy to care what some nobodies thought about me.
Opening the large metal door, I went straight to the guns. Sasha was in my room, as she always was, but I would need some long ranged weapons for this mission.
See, recently, Axel had been kidnapped… Kind of. Captured, more like. Anyway, standard policy of Twaza, if someone's been captured, they're a lost cause. However, it wasn't usually Organization XIII people who got captured.
The Superior had been livid. He had searched relentlessly for the leak, and when he finally found it, he disposed of the scum right away. Now, Hollow Bastian had broken the treaty that was the only thing stopping Twaza from blowing Hollow Bastian to oblivion. But Xemnas wanted revenge. Simply blowing them up would leave us with a hollow victory. With a smirk, I took some grenades and some C4, just for good measure.
Feeling confident that I had enough artillery, I headed back to my room. I wanted to be in disguise, simply because I wanted to break Axel out. Xemnas never really specified whether we should break him out or not, so I took it as a 'Go ahead'.
I had many disguises. Whenever we caught someone, we kept their uniform, just in case. I ended up with most of them, as I was the only person who went undercover. Everyone else was more straight forward. I decided to go with a standard Shinra Infantryman uniform. They had access to most places, right? Doesn't matter if I'm wrong. If anyone sees me and comments on it, I'll just fill 'em with lead. No biggie.
I hid the many weapons in my disguise, so I looked exactly like a standard Infantryman. Problem now? Sasha. I refused to leave her behind, but I'd stand out with her on my back. 'I know! I'll take her with me, and if I need to, I'll leave her with Xigbar… On second thought, I'll find a safe place once I'm there.' I wouldn't trust anyone with Sasha. She was the only thing left that I cared about.
"Demyx, you ready?" A certain scarred man called out, sounding incredibly impatient. We were all impatient, this wasn't something we got to do every day.
"Yeah, coming out know!" I called back, grabbing my helmet and rushing out of the dorms. Outside, Xigbar was dressed in his Organization XIII cloak, clutching his twin arrowgun blasters in his hands and a bazooka strapped to his back.
Behind him was Marluxia, twirling his pink scythe distractedly, whilst Luxord was absently flipping through his cards, occasionally picking one out and studying it. Saix was polishing his Claymore, sending Marluxia cold glares that the pinkette completely ignored. The only other person there was Lexeaus, who stood silently over at the side, towering over the others.
All of them were in their cloaks, but no one even noticed that I wasn't. I guess since I'm the only one who goes on undercover missions anymore, they're used to me looking like all sorts of things. Last month, I had to dress as a mermaid to get into a party with 'Underwater' as the theme. There were pictures of my disguise hanging up in everyone's rooms for two weeks!
"You take forever to get changed." Marluxia stated in that strange monotone voice of his. I just smiled. Marluxia could be a complete bastard at times, but… Actually, that's about it. Even if he likes you, he's a bastard. What was my point again?
Anyway, we had a mission. To cause as much destruction as we can. Who doesn't want a mission like that? Apparently, Vexen and Zexion. Although, neither of them go on many missions. Lexeaus wasn't going to go either, but Xemnas demanded that he go, because we needed at least six people, and convincing any of the others to go wouldn't be easy. Besides, we needed strength, and who was stronger than Lexeaus?
"Well, come on man! We've already waited long enough for your sorry ass!" Xigbar called out, getting into a khaki jeep. I put Sasha in the back and jumped in the passenger seat. Just as I was sitting down, Xigbar started driving, faster than any maniac would drive. I looked over to see another Jeep on my right, this one had Luxord and Marluxia in it, Luxord driving whilst Marluxia half hung out the side of the vehicle, his hair blowing behind him. To my left was another Jeep, this one had Lexeaus driving, with Saix sitting next to him, looking as emotionless as ever. That man scared me more than Marluxia did sometimes.
I must of fallen asleep on the way there. I never do function properly before ten.

Smashing another car window in, a look of absolute glee overcame my features. I had ten minutes to smash whatever I wanted, and then I had to sneak in and get Axel out. All in all, we had to be out of here in around half an hour. The others would continuously move, all of them with their hoods up. None of them would be seen at the same time, leading authorities to believe it was one person, two at most. It wasn't our best strategy, but it would be effective.
"Hey, get him!" I gave the pitiful policeman a look of annoyance. He was interfering with my fun! I practically waltz over to the Training Centre, turned around and pulled a face at the policeman and the mob behind him, and threw open the doors. My ten minutes had been cut short, I'd only been here a minute! I had to make someone pay!
But that would have to wait until after I got Axel out now. In my Infantryman's uniform, no one questioned me. Most of them had left the building, to go and stop the attack, but once I got down to the cells, everyone was still there. The walls were lined with aluminium, and each cell was soundproof.
"Identification." A lady at a desk ordered, looking at me from above her tortoise rimmed glasses. Trying to make myself sound as desperate and pathetic as possible, I started to speak.
"Th… There's a… riot," I paused in between each word, taking deep breaths, pretending I was exhausted. "We… We need people… up there!" At this, the lady sighed, motioned for me to move, and walked off. I heard her talking on a phone right around the corner, and I took my chance to sneak in.
I love my job.
Once inside, I cursed myself for not taking the opportunity to look at which room Axel was in. But they wouldn't know he was Axel, right? If they did, he'd be dead already. If he was dead, Hollow Bastian would have made a holiday out of it. So he's alive, but I have no idea where he is.
"The power! Yes, yes of course…" If I could turn the power off, I could use Morse code on one of the supporting poles. If Axel taps back, I could ask him what number he was. He should have a plastic knife or something he could eat with, he could tap on the wall with that and I would hear it. But if I didn't turn the power off, the hum of all the machines would drown it out. That, and it would be much easier to break him out if there were no machines and stuff.
After searching for a whole two minutes, I finally found that main power board. My plan was to, originally, just pull a bunch of wires out and hope the power went down without me dying.
Then, some blond kid who looked like he'd been crying his eyes out shuffled up the hallway. I was sort of scared he'd discover me and mess of the mission, so I improvised and came with an excuse.
"Um, hey, can you help me with this?" I rubbed the back of my neck and gave him a shaky smile. The teen just glared at me from under his strange, post-sex hair. His clothes were all ruffled up, and he looked about ready to kill someone. 'Maybe I just disrupted his sex time?' I fought a blush that threatened to creep up onto my face.
"What do you need?" The teen rolled his eyes and retorted with as much attitude as possible.
"I have to fix this electrical board. It short circuited, and some of the cells have lost power." I almost threw my fist in the air at my awesome excuse. I'd like to see Saix come up with a better one. Although, he probably would've just fought his way in.
"What should I do?" The guy sighed, looking defeated. I completely ignored it, letting myself believe I felt happy.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I forced myself to smile, this time it was a little less forced than last time. "First, turn that knob." Whilst he did that, I started redirecting the wires, hoping I wouldn't die. "Okay, now push that button." We kept going for a while, me instructing him whilst I fiddled with the wires, trying to look like I knew what I was doing.
After five minutes, the power went out. Keeping my happiness on the inside, I scowled at the lights, and muttered a short "I told them they were sending the wrong guy!" I knew that only some of the power had been lost, so I frantically started to mess with the wires. With a start, I realised the teen was still there, watching my every movement. "Hey, kid, get outta here, okay? They're gonna be pissed that I knocked some of the power out, but if you leave, they'll never know you were involved!" I lied through my teeth. If they caught me, I'd put all the blame on him for knocking the power out, and I was just trying to fix it.
He just stared at me. It was starting to make me uncomfortable, so I simply shouted "GO!" The kid finally got into gear, and sprinted down the hallway. As soon as he was out of sight, I too, left the scene.

I was running behind schedule. It took me five minutes in total to get in here, two minutes to find a power board, and another four to disable the power. In total, it took me eleven minutes. Add in the three minutes I spent smashing stuff and that gave me fourteen minutes.
I'd now been searching for a support beam for two minutes, giving me sixteen in total. Add in the ten it will probably take me to find Axel and break him out, and that gave me four minutes to get back to the Jeep. Physically impossible. So, I had to work fast.
The support pole idea worked like a charm. The Morse code echoed around the facility, and I almost panicked when I didn't hear a response. But, almost a minute later, a heard some very faint taps.
"VIII?"
"IX?"
"Yes, what prisoner number are you?"
"29411813."
"Hold on."
Now knowing where I had to go, I set off at a run. Right now, I was next to room 17310120, which mean I had quite a ways to go.
Three minutes later and I was still several thousand off. "How many rooms does this place NEED?" After another minute, I finally found room number 29411813. With a relieved sigh, I picked one of my smaller hand guns out of the hidden pocket on the inside of my armour.
The door was slightly ajar, meaning I didn't have to hack into a computer system or something. That was Luxord's strong point, not mine.
I threw the door open and cocked my gun. Four heads all turned to look my way, and I gave them each a smirk. The blond kid from earlier was there, and I almost groaned. 'I could've just followed him!'
"Who are you?" My attention was drawn to a red head who looked like the mirror image of Axel, the only real difference being their eyes. I was kind of shocked, but I covered it well. I hope.
"I'm the rescue party." I explained simply. Now, my first idea was to simply kill them all, and blow the glass up with a grenade. Axel must've caught onto my plan though, because he shook his head.
"Don't kill them IX." I let out a groan. I wasn't allowed to smash cars in, I wasn't allowed to kill the enemy. Was there anything I was allowed to do?
"Fine. But you have to explain everything later!" I almost shouted at him. "I suggest you all take cover." I said as I pulled out a grenade. The three of them all jumped under the machinery as I threw the grenade. Axel simply stood there as the glass shattered.
"Let's go!" I set off at a sprint, knowing Axel would follow.

I watched Demyx set off at a run down the hallway. I'd catch up with him in a minute.
"Axel…" I looked down at the blond boy, who blinked his large blue eyes.
"Goodbye Roxas." I started to walk out the door, remorse in my heart. As much as I wanted to take Roxas with me, I'd be killed for sure for bringing the enemy into the base.
I stopped when I felt a tug on my prisoner's jumpsuit. On the ground was Roxas, clutching at the fabric, tears streaming down his face. I felt so guilty, knowing I had to leave now. Roxas looked so vulnerable, so childlike. It was almost like travelling back in time, to when Roxas was only four years of age. The child had given me the same look, and I'd never been able to resist it.
"I'm going Roxas. You can't stop me." I sounded so cold… I didn't want Roxas to think I hated him. With a smirk, I realised what I could do. I got down on my knees so I was only slightly taller than the blond.
"Roxas… Roxas, look at me." I commanded, and the blond looked up. I bent down, and pressed my lips against his.
Roxas froze, and didn't make any move to stop me when I left this time.

A/N: I'm not all too sure what happened at the end… They weren't supposed to kiss for another couple of chapters! But Axel demanded that I move this story forward. He wanted his Roxy time. So blame Axel!
The song is Riot by Three Days Grace. I highly recommend this song, I adore it.
Anyway, until next time! Votes are still opened for the pairings!
MarVex, XigDem or XalLux?
