Chapter 10
Xemnas Report 5
Rebuilding the castle is proving to be hard than I originally thought. So far, in the course of a afternoon I have nailed my hand, had a ton of bricks fall on my head thanks to Lexeaus, and I almost fell into the bottomless pit below the castle. Who even puts a bottomless pit below a castle?! Oh, wait, that's me. Oh well, onto further matters. It is much more peaceful now that most of the trouble makers are gone, leaving me, Lexaeus, and Saix to do our work in total bliss. With the ocassional mishap, namely me and my many injuries. I dont think I'll be able to move my hand in the morning. In other news, Xaldin has gone AWL (Absent Without Leave) on us, for no apparent reason. Probally is just too lazy to help us rebuild the castle. I would send Saix after him but I need him here to help me and Lexaeus. I'm almost tempted to make another Dusk into a Nobody, just to help us build, but we might have another Dox incident. I don't feel like dealing with another crazy Nobody who wants to kill us all. Xaldin, if you ever read this, I apologise for accusing you of killing the cook wothout good reason. I spotted the burnt, but readable, box of Rat Posion today and cursed myself for not killing him myself. As I was walking in the town that never was today I found pieces of Demyx's Sitar scattered on the ground. I heard his scream earlier this afternoon, probally him and Axel fighting again. They always play pranks on each other. But wait, Saix said he sent Demyx and the others off to the castle. I think Demyx may have gotten more hurt than I had previously thought. What did Saix do to the boy? I'll ask Saix what exactly happened, but for right now, I need to rest my hand. I HATE NAILS!!
Luxord is dragging Vexen out of his labrotory. The scientist looks very angry as he's pulled away from an experiment.
He clings to the door frame, "Luxord! What is the meaning of this?!!"
Luxord stops pulling on his hood, "We need your medical services, now!!"
Vexen groans and rubs his temples, "What Demyx do now?"
Luxord stops for a minute, " Well he.....Wait, how did you know it was Demyx?"
"Its Demyx....he always gets hurt."
"Oh, quite right. Now come on!! Please help us out." He tugs Vexen towards a portal.
Vexen crosses his arms in front of his chest and smirks at Luxord, "Sure, I'd love to help you out..." He looks around, "Now, which way did you come in?"
Luxord glares at him and pulls him towards the portal. Vexen groans but follows him in, knowing Axel would kill him if he didn't help the annoying Nocturne. As he exits the portal he looks around.
"Ok, where's Demyx?" He looks around at Roxas, Xigbar, and Naminie.
Vexen spots Demyx lying on the ground, his own weapon slammed over his head. Vexen almost bursts out laughing but quickly spots Axel beside Demyx. He controls himself, not wanting to anger Axel further than he already looks.
Vexen rubs his temples, "May I ask, what exactly happened to cause his head to become lodged into his OWN weapon?"
"Saix." The group replies.
"Ahh, that explains the workmanship...I know exactly what to do...but...first help him to the basement, 7TH floor." He disappears back into a portal.
Xigbar groans, "He sure is bossy."
Him and Axel help Demyx to his feet, the young teen still knocked out.
Axel groans, "He sure is heavy."
"Yeah, who knew?" Xigbar replies.
Axel looks at Roxas, "Go ahead and summon up a portal."
"Me...me?" Roxas looks confused.
Axel shifts Demyx's arm around his neck, to keep better grip on him. "You got to learn somehow."
Roxas holds his hand out and focuses, like he was summoning his Keyblade. He concentrates on where Vexen is, maybe this will help he thinks as a black swirling vortex opens in front of him.
"Alright Roxas." Namine cheers.
Roxas blushes, and rushes through the portal, not wanting the others to see his face.
***
Demyx is finally starting to come to, a strange coldness around his neck and chest.
"Cold...why am I c-?" He opens his eyes and sees the inside of his Sitar. He yelps as he notices ice starting to encase the instrument, with him in it.
"What the, NO!! WATER!!" He yells, his water attacking the ice and slipping the Sitar off of his head. Demyx sits up, soaked and freezing. He spots everybody around him, Xigbar, Axel, Vexen, Namine, Roxas, and Luxord, all soaked from his water attack.
Axel glares at Vexen, "I though you said you could just freeze it and it would disappear, you didn't mention I'd be soaked to the bone, AGAIN." He shaes his head, the water flying
Vexen glares back at Axel, his hair plastered to his face, "Look, I thought he was fully unconsious, I didn't expect him to wake up and panic."
Roxas looks disgusted at his wet coat, plastered to him. He shakes the sleeves as he shakes his hair out, trying to dry it.
Demyx continues to shiver on the table, "V-v-exen, wh-why am I c-c-cold?? Wh-why did y-you f-f-freeze me?" Multiple cuts are on the Nobody's neck and face, making him look like he lost a battle with a razor.
"Because, we had to get your Arpeggio off of your head somehow and tugging wasn't working. I figured if I froze it it would disappear but evidently it didn't. At least its off now."
"Huh? What about-t-t my S-sitar?" Demyx looks behind him and yelps in horror at the sight of his Sitar, a broken mess. "MY S-s-sitar!!!" He looks saddened by the sight of his instrument.
He hops off the tabel, much to Vexen's regret. Demyx moves to pick it up but a pain in his neck stops him cold, he lets out a yelp which brings Axel, Xigbar and Roxas to his aid.
"Hey, dude, you ok?" Xigbar says, holding the young Nobody up from the floor.
"I d-don't know..." Demyx says while trying to stand on his own.
Vexen sighs, "You've recieved serious head trauma, you need to lay down and not move, do you understand me number IX? DO NOT MOVE."
Axel helps Demyx up, he looks dizzily around, "Kay."
Axel and Xigbar help him to the bed, Roxas looks on, not knowing how to help. Vexen then notices all the people in the room.
"You do realise that this is a two vistor limit room, right?"
They all look at him angrily.
Axel glares at him, "You are such a ass Vexen."
Xigbar walks up to Vexen, "Look dude, just shut up and help Demy."
Namine sighs, "I'll leave if you don't want me here."
Roxas looks at her, "Don't listen to him Namine, he's just an old prune."
Luxord, Axel, and Xigabr look at him and grin. They burst out laughing as Vexen turns red in fury.
"PRUNE?! That's it OUT. O-U-T...OUT!!!!!"
Roxas glares at him, "Maybe I don't want to leave."
Vexen growls and looks him in the eyes, face to face, "Look here CHILD, I'm number IV in this Organization, and I will not have you...number XIII talking back to me like that."
Ice starts to form around Vexen's hand, hinting that Roxas would soon meet his huge shield, upclose and personal. Xigbar clears his throat at Vexen who growls at him also. He lets the ice disappear and walks over to Demyx bed.
"Unless you don't want me to help him I suggest 4 of you leave." Vexen growls out.
Xigbar looks at the rest, "You dudes go on, I'll make sure the prune doesn't do anything bad to Demy." Vexen glares at him.
Roxas sighs, "Fine, I'll go. Anyway its too cold down here."
Vexen growls, the room seeming to get colder at Roxas's statement. Everybody except Xigbar leaves, leaving Vexen to treat Demyx.
***
Zexion appears in the castle, hoping to avoid Larxene.
"Man, she freaks me out." He shivers and walks down the halls, exploring his new home.
He stops and smells the area, "Huh, it seems Axel, Luxord, Xigbar, Namine, Roxas, Vexen and...Demyx have arrived already...though." He sniffs again, "Why do I smell Demyx's blood?"
He shrugs and enters a room, and is immediatly sorrounded by books. Zexion looks around in awe, at the 100s of Novels sorrounding him. He rushes towards a shelef and looks at some random books.
"R. L. Stine? Stephine Meyer? Anthony Horowitz? Stephen KING?" He holds the books close to his chest, "I have died and gone to heaven."
"You've what now?" Luxordl asks as he steps out of a portal.
Zexion turns around to spot Luxord behind him. Luxord towel drys his hair while waiting for a response to his statement. He is wearing normal clothes for the moment, a red shirt and jeans in replacement of his wet uniform.
Zexion drops the books in surprise, "Oh, Luxord. Um...nothing, I didn't say anything." He tries to look normal.
Luxord shakes his head, "So, I'm guessing Marluxia and Larxene have arrived already?"
Zexion nods, "Yeah, I left right after Marluxia did. Larxene was still at The World That Never Was when I left. But most likely she is here now." He groans at the memory of Larxene flirting with him.
"Ah, thanks for the warning chap, don't want to run into Larxene."
Zexion looks at him, "Oh, by the way. Why do I smell Demyx's blood on the third floor?"
Luxord growls, wringing the towel in his hands, almost tearing it in half, "Well, Saix, decided that Demyx was in his way, so he slammed Demyx's own weapon upon his head." Zexion whinces as he imagines what Demyx must've went through, "Then it got stuck up there and we had to get Vexen to get it off the poor chap."
Zexion whinces, "Ouch. Where is Demyx now?"
"He's in the infir-" Luxord stops as he hears a noise scurry behind them.
They look behind back at where the noise came from. The notice something disappear into the maze of Library shelves. The two Nobodies shiver at the same time, looking around worriedly for the figure again. They run towards the shelf and dash around, ready to comfront the figure. They stare in shock as no one is there, they don't even sense a Corridor of Darkness.
"What the bloody hell was that??" Luxord asks in a small voice.
Zexion shivers again, "I don't know but it wasn't good. Not good at all." He looks around the castle, thinking that he wasn't going to enjoy this place as much as he thought.
***
Vexen growls as he wraps up Demyx's neck, covering up the multiple bandages. Demyx gulps as Vexen pulls it tightly, almost cutting of his air.
"Dude, take it easy, we want Demy to heal, not choke the life out of him." Xigbar looks worriedly as Vexen growls louder.
Xigbar is dressed in a purple shirt with a gun on it, the words, Wanted Dead or Alive on the back, his coat drying on a chair next to Vexen's and Demyx's.
Vexen turns around, a plain blue shirt under his white lab coat, "Listen here, who is the scientist around here? Hmm?"
"Um, dude. Me, Xemans, Xaldin, Zexion, and Lexeaus are all scientists, just like you." Xigbar corrects Vexen.
Vexen groans and turns around, grabbing Xigbar by the scruff of his shirt. "Listen here Xigbar, who is the one in charge of this basement?"
"Um, that's me, dude. I'm Marly's Second in Command." He grins wide in Vexen's face.
Vexen groans and lets go of Xigbar's scruff, turning his attention to the backroom, "Can you watch Demyx for me for a minute, I'm going to go get him some pain medication, to help with the Head Trauma pain."
He enters the back room and sighs, Xigbar?! In charge? Xemnas should've choosen me to be Second in command! He trips over something and falls face first on the floor. He yells as he sits up, holding his nose in pain.
"Vexy! You ok back there?" Demyx calls out.
"Yes, I'm fine Number IX....huh?" He looks back at what he he tripped over.
He freezes in fear as he spots the container. This particular container contained a very dangerous expertment that he had stored here when it was deemed too dangerous for even the Organization. But what had the Academic frozen to the spot was the fact that the container no longer contained said experiment, but was busted open. Xigbar enters the room looking at Vexen.
"What you do now dude? Did you break a hip or something?" Xigbar jokes around.
Vexen looks around the room, looking for movement, "No..no.....no....no...no!!! It couldn't have gotten lose, IMPOSSIBLE!!"
Xigbar looks strangly at Vexen, "Come on and stop playing around Vexen and get Demy's medicine, he looks feverish, I think."
He grabs Xigbar by the scruff of his shirt, a crazed look to his eyes. "XIGBAR! ITS LOOSE!!"
Xigbar looks scared to death, "Please tell me you're not having another Cake Song episode! I don't have Xaldin around to snap you out of it this time!!"
Vexen glares at him, "If you even mention the word 'CAKE' to me ever again, I swear I'll make sure I choke the life out of you. But that's beyond the point. Its loose Xigbar, the Experiment is loose!! Do you understand me? We have to warn everyone before it attacks someone and 'gulp' kills them!"
Xigbar looks around, a death look to his face, "You mean..."
Vexen nods, "Yes....Experiment....Finis..."
***
Marluxia sits back, looking around his office, HIS. He sighs contently into his desk...HIS. He begins to examine all the things on his desk, inculding paper, for dare I say it, the Marluxia Reports. Marluxia sinks back into his big chair, pleased that he was finally the Superior. He groans as he remembers the down side to all this, Xigbar watching his every move.
"That gun toting psyco, why the heck did Xemnas put him as my second in command? We fight constantly all the time over everythi-" Marluxia looks up in realisation, "Xemnas wants me to fight with Xigbar so I won't be Lord of Castle Oblivion. He wants me to fail, that's his plan all along!" He slams his fist down on the desk in anger. "That smug bastard. I'll show him, I'll pass these few weeks with Xigbar as my second without fighting with him at all."
"Oh, yes that plan will go perfectly, I'm sure of it." Larxene says sarcastically.
"Larxene? How long have you been in here?"
She lies down on the couch in the corner, "Oh, around the part where you said, 'That stupid gun toting psycho.' "
Marluxia sighs, "Well, what's wrong with that plan? You think I can't stop fighting with Xigbar for a few weeks?"
Larxene chuckles, "You..get along with Xigbar? Please...You practically had a full blown war against Xigbar after you cut off his hair. There is no way in Hell or Oblivion you two could ever get along for 3 days, much less a few weeks."
Marluxia grins slyly, "I feel a bet coming along."
Larxene laughs and hops up from the couch, walking up to Marluxia's desk, "You guessed right. If you get along with Xigbar for a week, then I'll do what ever you say for a week. But.. If you and Xigbar fight, even a verbal fight, then you have to...be my slave for a week."
Marluxia thinks about and grins, "Alright, you're on. I can't wait for you to wait on me for my every whim."
Larxene grins, "Oh, we'll see about that." She grins slyly
A huge surge of electricity flow throughout the castle, making Larxene flinch in annoyance.
Marluxia looks at the flickering light, "Ugh, what's going on now? Are rats chewing on the wires or something?"
Larxene shrugs, "How should I know, I can't talk to the wires. Damn power surge, gave me a miagraine."
They jump as a loud yell is heard in the castle, coming from the 6th floor. Marluxia flinchs as sounds of fighting and Axel yelling is heard from the training room. The assassin sighs and stands up, walking towards the door.
"Seems the rat has bright red hair and can burn through the wires. Come on, lets go stop him before he burns down this castle too." Marluxia says.
Larxene grins and opens up a portal, "I'm all up for getting Axel. Lets go get the pyro." They walk through the portal, heading to Xaldin's old training room.
***
Xaldin sighs as he enters another world, "Good, I've stopped glowing finally." He looks around at the world, "I hope this world has a castle to use as our new headquaters."
He spots castle in the distance and grins, "Well, at least it has a castle."
This castle was emrald green, so green that it actually shone. Probally a little bit too shiny for the Superiors liking, thought the whirlwind. A long golden path lead up the the city, showing the safetest way. Flowers and other plants lined the walkway, making the whole scene to cheery for Xaldin's taste. He begins to walk away, disappointed that he couldn't find a decent castle to replace their old one. Suddenly a cacking laugh splits the air. He looks up and spots a witch on a broom.
"I've come for you my pretty and your little dog too....oh, wait. You're not that annoying girl." She sighs and lands on the ground, "Just who are you, are you the Scarecrow?"
Xaldin looks weirdly at the witch, "Scarecrow? I'm not a Scarecrow, I'm Xal-"
The witch leaps towards hi, cutting him of, "No, you must be the Cowardly Lion, I mean. Look at that mane of yours, you haven't comed it in a while, have you. Its all tangled up."
Xaldin groans, his temple twitching in annoyance, "No, I'm NOT an animal, I-"
The witch snaps her fingers, "Ah, you must be the Tinman, the guy without a heart."
Xaldin looks in curiousity, another creature who doesn't have a heart? Xaldin looks at the witch and shakes his head, this world is just as bad as the previous one, "Well, its true I don't have a heart, but I'm not this Tinman you speak of."
The witch hops on her broom, "Well, you have to be the Tinman, if you don't have a heart, so. I'll leave you with this message to Dorothy, she better give me back those Ruby Slippers, they are my sister's therefore they are rightfully mine. Now I will be leaving, but first a present for you, Tinman, ahhahahaaahha!!" Flying Monkeys start flying towards Xaldin.
He growls and summons his spears, frightening the monkeys to the point of fainting. Xaldin launches the spears at the monkeys, making them scatter towards the horizon. He glares at the witch, now offically pissed off now. The witch looks more frightened of him by the second. He turns his spears into its dragoon form, hopping ontop of it and chasing after the witch. She is flying away at a drastic speed, desperate to escape Xaldin. But nobody, not even the witch, can outrun the wind.
Finally done, I'm sorry its so late but I lost my charger. Yes, I'm still doing the Halloween theme even though its WAY past Halloween. I want your opinion, who should get attacked by Experiment Finis First? Oh, Finis is supposed to target and attack Nobodies with elemental powers, like Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Flowers, Electricity, Earth, and . So give me your suggestions in reviews. Thanks goes out to those of you who have faved and alerted both me and my stories. Every one of those emails bring joy to my heart. I won't be up here for a while, one word, VIRUS!! My beloved computer has a virus and I can't fix it. It won't even let me open Paint! Paint, people, Paint! Its searching for Credit Card Information, which I don't even have on my computer. Ugh....but very one of those emails really does bring joy to my heart.
Mixalis: Well it doesn't bring joy to mine.
Keiko: Mixa, you don't have a heart.
Mixalis: Exactly, so I don't really care about the stupid reviews.
Keiko gapes at Mixalis, putting her fingers in front of her in a 'X' to ward of the evil comment by her Nobody.
Keiko: Shun the nonbeliever, SHUN, Sh-uu-nnn!! Reviews are what keeps Muses like you and me alive!
Mixalis: (shakes her head) No, that's the author's job. Besides, reviews and story alerts/favs aren't that important.
Keiko: You! How dare you say such blasphemic things!!! (looks in horror at Mixalis) Take it back.
Mixalis: (sigh) I'm leaving, goodbye.
Mixalis walks into a portal, only to be yanked back by Keiko.
Keiko: Take-it-back!!!
Mixalis: You're acting stupid Keiko, no. I won't take it back, I meant what I said.
Keiko: TAKE IT BACK!! (starts beating up Mixalis)
Mixalis: Never!! (starts returning punches)
Meanwhile, off scene, Axel, Roxas, and Demyx are watching the fight.
Demyx: Should we stop them? (Keiko: Shut up you Heartless!!)
Axel: Nah, I've always wanted to see a cat fight, and what beter way than to watch a cat girl fight her Nobody. (Mixalis grab Keiko by her tail and slams her into the ground, Mixalis: HAH, Take that, FELINE!!)
Roxas: We can't let them Axel, if they kill each other, there will be no more stories. (Keiko: DEATH TO NOBODIES!!, Keiko pulls out her Keyblade and starts attacking Mixalis)
Axel: (sighs) Fine, I'll go split them up. (Mixalis: Oh, you want to fight dirty, HUH?! Take this!, Mixalis pulls out all seven collars and starts attacking Keiko.)
Demyx: Good luck...(gives a shakey thumbs up as he looks at Keiko an Mixalis attack each other.)
Axel walks up to the fighting girls and clears his throat. Nothing happens and the two still go at it. Axel groans and snaps his fingers, catching both of their coats on fire. They yelp and stop fighting, hurring to take of the burning coats before the rest of their clothes catch on fire.
Keiko: AXEL!! WTF Do you think you're DOING?! You could've killed us!
Mixalis: Yeah, you Pyromaniac! You don't light other people on fire!
Axel: Look I was trying to split you up before you killed each other. So, stop fighting and shut up.
Keiko and Mixalis look at Axel as though he was a mouse, their eyes full of bloodlust. Axel notices this and backs away, slowy.
Keiko: Mixalis, would you like to attack first or can I?
Mixalis: Lets attack together.
Axel: Now, wait a minute!!
Demyx and Roxas whince as they witness the scene before them. Axel has been collared with a green collar, and its shocking him constantly. While Keiko, attacks him with the Keybalde. Mixalis also punches him, making sure to attack him. The two continue beating him to a pulp before walking away and getting some Ice Cream. Till next time, chow.
No Nobodies were KILLED in the making of this skit. (I didn't say he didn't get hurt, I'm just saying its not life threating) and yes, I made a reference to Charlie the Unicorn(Shun the nonbeliever, SHUN, Sh-uuu-nn). For those of you who haven't heard of it go to Youtube and type up Charlie the Unicorn, and click on the candy mountain one, it funny! You must watch it, and check out That One Crazy Sheep, while you're at it. Its crazy, you'll love it if you like Charlie the Unicorn. Trust me, watch it all the way through, it may seem stupid at first but its LOL funny.
