100 themes about Axel and Roxas

Insanity

Xemnas had only said five little words. Five simple, ordinary words, which once combined had struck Axel as surely as a bullet.

He.

Caught.

The.

Number.

Thirteen.

At this very moment he had began to lose his mind. The leader of the Organization had turn to him, his copper-colored eyes as impassive as they always were. Axel had never listened so intently to what he said.

- Roxas is the Key of Destiny. Since I can understand that he wanted to learn more about himself and we need him, I decided to give him a second chance. Axel, I want you to bring him back, using force if you need to.

Silent, Axel had stood up, opened a corridor of darkness and disappeared in it without a single look back. He was mad with worry thinking about what that fucking DiZ could have done to Roxas.

He had gone mad with anger when he had realized that it was worse – way worse – than anything he'd thought of. Roxas had forgotten everything, they had brainwashed him so well that Naminé – the little bitch! – had been able to implant a whole, brand new fake memory in his mind. A memory in which he didn't exist.

Mad with grief when, despite all his attempts, he failed each time he tried to bring back his memories. When the only thing he awakened in him was his faculty to use the Keyblade. Which he used against him. Because he was afraid of him! If he had had the opportunity, Axel would've killed DiZ with his own bare hands, in a slow, humiliating and horribly painful way, including both of his flames and chakrams.

He had finally gone mad with rage against Roxas himself. If he hadn't left the Organization, abandoning him the way he did, DiZ would never have caught him and he'd never have done what he and his accomplices had done to him – to them.

Finally – and above all the rest – it was jealousy which had driven him completely and irreparably mad. With Hayner, Pence and Olette, his "friends" in the virtual Twilight Town that DiZ had created for him, Roxas was so… He laughed and had fun… He seemed closer to them than he'd never been to Axel. And he dared to sully their most personal memories by going with them on the top of the Clock Tower, in their place to eat their salt-sea ice creams. Had DiZ been dirty-minded enough to have done it on purpose?

Twisted in all directions, tortured, torn continuously, wounded, his mind completely fell apart when Roxas went back to Sora and disappeared. From that moment, he could only think about one single thing, true obsession which made him forget everything else.

He'd destroy Sora. He'd find a way and he'd crush his heart to dust. He'd bring Roxas back.
