"Huh" Riku crosses his arms, not sure what to make of what's in front of him. "Riku" Axel gets up. "Axel" Riku narrows his eyes. "Demyx" "Riku" "Roxas" "Riku" "Sora" "Axel" "Demyx" "Sora" "Sora!" "Roxy!" "Luigi" "I's me! Maaaaario!" "Yuffie" "Materia!" Riku looks around, wondering just where the heck all of the other random voices are coming from. "Ooookay" he looks back to the trio in front of him. "Unlucky XIII" Sora crosses his arms. "But I'm cute aren't I?" Roxas smiles his ULTRA chibi smile of doom! TOO DOOMY TO HANDLE! "YES!" Sora scurries over and jumps onto him, giving him a cuddle attack. "Hey, I got first dibs!" Axel jumps on him. "What about me?" Demyx joins in. And Riku just stands there watching as the three rumble over Roxas. "Hey!" he chiomps his foot. They all stop and look at him, Sora biting Axel's head, Demyx boot in Sora's face, and Axel still kicking Sora's butt somehow. "Roxas is basically Sora and I always have first dibs on Sora so both him and Sora are mine" he points out.
Chapter 12: The Encounter and the Skyscraper
"That's not fair! I found Roxy first!" Axel points to Roxas's chibi little face. "But I found Sora first, in which Roxas has always been mine!" Riku spits his tongue out. "Well, you suck!" Demyx points. "Hey, I'm willing to share them, but can we just stop this for a minute?" Riku sighs. "Fine" the three let go off each other. "I feel so loved" Roxas starts stacking up some more random bricks. "I wanna help!" Sora scurries over. "You do that" Riku rolls his eyes. "So, what're you guys doing here?" Axel asks. "I was just about to ask the same thing" Riku raises an eyebrow. "We're on a mission to find out who did this and why" Demyx jumps in. "Yeah, but we ran into some trouble" Axel starts. "Really now?" Riku smiles, just waiting to hear what's coming next. Axel sighs and crosses his arms. "Our weapons are too big to use, got EXhausted on our way to Castle Oblivion, got the crap scared out of us by our memories, got smacked around by some Heartless, tried to come back here, Roxas got attacked by a chibi Heartless werewolf thing and now he's a puppy, made it back to here to check the others's rooms, almost got caught several times, wanted to leave but almost got caught again and ran into this Space of No Reason, we've been stuck in here for HOURS and DID YOU RUN THAT TRUCK INTO THE SIDE OF MEMORY SKYSCRAPER?" Axel explains and asks really quickly.
"Sounds like a party to me" Riku chuckles. "We had problems too Riku!" Sora calls, waving his chibi shovel as he and Roxas build a brick wall. "Hah! You had problems too?" Demyx points at him. Riku pouts and turns around. "We got changed into puppies, strawberries, girls, then we went to Castle Oblivion and got attacked not only by Heartless, but the STAIRS! Then, Sora just had to drive! I was stuck in his soul, his body, and his pants, over and UNDER for the past 5 minutes! Then, we come here, and what happens? My face gets burned in your room!" he points to Axel. "Don't you just love the geyse-" "NO!" Riku yells in his face. "So what do we do now?" Demyx asks. "I don't know about you guys, but me and Sora are high-tailing it out of here" Riku spits his tongue out. "WHAAAA?" Sora drops a bunch of bricks on his foot. Everybody stares at him, waiting for a response to which he just stares at the pile, not even blinking.
"Like I said, we're leaving, you guys got your own problems" Riku walks over to Sora. He grabs his friend's hands and pulls him out of the pile like he was nothing! "Lets go" he drags him along, only to feel some weight on him. "Whaaaaaaaat?" he looks down to Sora's feet to see Roxas clutching to Sora's ankles. "No!" Riku points. Roxas tightens his grip and threatens to cry. "Fine" Riku rolls his eyes. But then, Axel grabs Roxas's ankles. "WHY?" Riku yells. Axel pokes at Roxas's cheeks. "You wanna come, to poke his butt?" Riku raises an eyebrow. "Sure, why not" Axel smiles nervously. "Fi-" but then Demyx grabs Axel's ankles. "Oh COME ON! I don't even know you!" Riku almost blows a vessel. "Cookie?" Demyx holds one up. "Fine! You can all come! Just don't get in our way!" Riku shouts. "We're after the same thing, how can we get in the way?" Axel asks. "Sora can explain how" Riku heads for the door.
"Are you crazy? We can't go out there! Xemnas and the others are-" "Trying to take a leak, but by the way they're all chibi, it'll take a while" Riku stops Demyx. "But Zexion's still out there!" Roxas points to the couch, only to see he's not there. "Maybe he went to try and take a leak" Axel says as they walk out. "Hold on" Sora stops them all and points to the ceiling. "He was up there this whole time?" Demyx whispers. "Guess that soda wore him out" Riku shrugs. Zexion is sleeping and hanging off the ceiling, cause that's what soda does to you. "Told ya he was a vampire" Axel smirks at Roxas, who starts to tear up from getting scared. "Lets just go before everybody else comes back" Riku leads them to the door.
"YAAAAAAY! We're free!" Demyx yells for the whole world to ignore. "Yeah, but we're still not done" Roxas pats his shoulder. "I know" Demyx turns all gloomy. "Well, where were you guys about to head to?" Sora asks as they head into the city. "You know, I was in that room so long, I forgot" Axel sighs. "We were going to Twilight Town, remember?" Roxas shakes him. "Oh yeah, I would've remembered if somebody hadn't eaten all the SEA-SALT ICE CREAM!" he yells. "Hey man...they're good" Roxas points. "You're going on a diet" Demyx shakes his head. "NOOOOOOO!" Roxas falls to his knees. "Don't worry, I hear paopus are sweet" Axel tries to contain his evil laughter. "Reeeaaallly sweeeeeet" Sora smiles really, really, really, big. "He wants to be together forever with himself" Riku rolls his eyes. "Riku!" Sora smacks him. "I know you didn't just do that" Riku turns to him, his dark aura emitting off of him. "Nope" Sora shakes his head nervously. And so, they walk aaaaalllll the way to Memory Skyscraper. "You know, I think I remember what happened here" Riku looks around.
"Tell us the story" Sora lays down with the other three as Riku sweatdrops. -Flashback time- Riku is sitting at the top of Memory Skyscraper, eating some chili and watching some shows on the big T.V.s when a screeching noise breaks the sound barrier. 'Oh my gosh! What took him?' Riku crawls over to the edge of the building and looks down to see a truck spinning around wildly, hitting every Heartless that pops up. "Yep, that's definitely Sora's Nobody" Riku sighs. -In the truck- "Stop this crazy thing!" Roxas keeps pulling the wheel to the left. "Just can't find a decent parking space around here!" he looks around at the spinning lights for some empty space until..."Ah!" Riku holds on for dear life onto the building as something huge shakes it. He looks down to see the truck in the left side (from his view) of the Skyscraper. "Oh my gosh. Xemnas is going to KILL me" Roxas searches frantically around the truck until he finally finds a bucket.
"He must be blowing chunks by now" Riku looks at the imaginary watch on his wrist. And he's right! He's blowing all kinds of chunks into the bucket for about 5 minutes. Gasping for breath, he sets the bucket in the seat next to him. Bad idea. The tires on the left explode and the truck falls to the left. Unfortunately for poor Roxy, his bucket is oddly thrown at him and he gets covered in his own eww! As he looks over himself, the truck falls onto the right tires, and Roxy is slammed against the right window with his bucket following. "It's not fair!" Roxas starts to sniff. He climbs his way to the left side and kicks open the door and gets out. "Now I'll never meet Sora!" he starts to cry and head back towards the Castle until he looks up and notices it's starting to rain. "Well, this should clean off most of the stuff" he tries to make a smile, but being covered in your on eww isn't anything to smile about. Just as most of the eww gets washed/rained off a Roxas, the Neoshadows pop up for revenge! "Oh crap" he tries not to look behind him.
"Oh, he's in deep shit now" Riku watches happily, opening some crackers for his chili. "It's not fair!" Roxas growls as he kills the things like crazy. Riku watches as Roxas goes on a killing spree, only to hear him crying not too long after the start of the fight. "Well, better go help him out" Riku gets up to put on his blindfold, only to forget he set the bowl on his lap. "NOOOOOO!" he reaches out to it, not that it would come back up there anyways. And so, the chili dropped like crazy and onto the Roxas's head. "Who's up there-Hot! Hot! Hot!" Roxas runs up the building to attack whoever dropped the heat bomb on him, the bowl blocking his view. "My chili!" Riku jumps off the building. "And that's what happened" Riku crosses his arms, smiling. "So it was you! Xemnas got all mad at me and had me locked in the white room for a week!" Axel tries not to cry at the cutey face Roxas is making. "I dunno Riku, I remember something different" Roxas is finally able to make Axel faint. "How would you know? I crushed you so hard, you forgot everything" Riku raises an eyebrow. "Because, everything's coming back to me...the true" Roxas smiles. "That chili must've broke part of your brain" Riku shakes his head in shame.
-Flashback time again!- Roxas is strutting along the path to the dark city. "Gosh, I'd really hate to leave Axel alone in there" he sighs as he looks back at the Castle. "But, he'll manage" he shrugs and keeps walking. -In the Castle- "WHYYYYYYYYYY!" Axel is cuddled up in his bed, squeezing the life out of his Roxas plushie, crying his eyes out. "I've got a looooooooooong way to go" Roxas looks at how far he has to go. "Well, at least it can't get any worse" he smiles. Just then, it begins to rain. "Why the hell does this keep happening to me!" he yells up to the sky. He keeps walking, trying to stay calm about the rain messing up the coat he just dry cleaned. And just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, the Neoshadows attacked! "Oh, come on! I just wanna see Sora and this is the crap put up against me!" he takes out the Oathkeeper and Oblivion. At the top of Memory Skyscraper, Riku's taking a nap, cuddling a Sora plushie. He rolls over to the edge of building and accidentally lets go of the plushie.
"Go away!" Roxas jumps back to the stairs of the Skyscraper. Just then, the plushie falls onto his head with a soft THUD! "Heeeeeeey! This is pretty cute!" he takes it off his head. Just as that was all going on, Riku wakes up and panically looks around for his cuddle buddy. He gets up and looks over the edge to see Roxas holding onto the plushie and clutches his hands. "That's MY plushie!" he yells down. Roxas looks up and spits his tongue out. "Mine now" he smiles. "Give it!" Riku growls. "No!" Roxas puts it in his pocket. "Well then come on with the come on!" Riku signals him to come up. Roxas looks behind him to see the Neoshadows coming at him. "Alright then!" he doesn't hesitate to run up the building, slicing any that get in his way. "MY PLUSHIE!" Riku jumps off the building, not even giving jumping off the building a second thought. "Take this!" Roxas throws up his Oblivion (Ho, that sounds nasty!). Riku, unfortunately, gets hit with in the eye, but that doesn't stop him with his type of anger. "You dumbass!" Riku says as they pass each other on the T.V. screen.
Luckily for the both of them, they drop and land on their feet, scaring the Neoshadows away. "Now then" Riku catches the Oblivion after it bounces off his head. "En garde!" they jump back. They clash their blades a bunch until they lock with each other, Roxas knocking Riku down like it didn't even hurt. "Why? Why do you have the Keyblade? Only cool guys have them!" Riku demands. "Shut up!" Roxas slashes him, but Riku punches him back. "Gosh man! THAT FRIGGIN HURT!" Roxas holds his head as he blacks out. "I'm sooooo good" Riku walks over. He holds up the Oblivion and brings it down (Cover your eyes!) next to Roxas's head. "Still a fool" Riku shakes his head in shame, until he notices Roxas getting up and grabbing hold of the Keyblade and wacking him! But luckily, Riku jumped back in time to shoot a dark aura at him, but Roxas, with his coolness deflects it and starts wacking at Riku. Riku jumps away and lands somewhere using a small parachute.
"What was that all about?" Riku yells. "I'm a veddyveddy sneaky. Now quit fooling around" Roxas smiles. "What's wrong Sora? Scared I'll whip that hair off ya? Spikes are overrated" Riku calls. "What? First you diss my shoes and now my hai-" but Roxy stops short, confused by what he's saying. "Yep, I was right. With that chunk of stupidity, you really are his Nobody" Riku crosses his arms. "Well, quit talking about him that way! I'm myself! And at least I look as cute as him!" Roxas flashes the plushie at him. "Gimme it back!" Riku yells in some almost demonic voice. "Stawp scaring me!" Roxas summons his Keys again and tries to slash at Riku. He's finally able to hit Riku in the side. "Oh, my, GOSH! What is up with you?" Riku yells. "It's my plushie now!" Roxas spits his tongue out. "Fine then, you leave me no choice" Riku takes off the blindfold. "Wow, you're eyes look just like Axel's" Roxas gazes at his mint eyes. "Time to get my secret weapon" Riku runs off in some other direction.
"Hah! I win!" Roxas takes out the plushie and begins to cuddle it. Suddenly from where Riku ran off, there's some bloody murder yell and the sound of some type of motor turning on. "What's he doing?" Roxas steps back until..."RUN FOOL, RUN!" Riku, in Ansem's form, comes driving back into the area with a truck. "WHY?" Roxas yells up to him. Ansem looks through his pocket and tapes something on the windowshield. "Drivers license!" he puts the truck in drive. "NOOOOOO!" Roxas holds the plushie tighter as Riku threatenly runs him down, crashing into a couple of buildings. Roxas runs over to the right side of the Skyscraper and tries to hide behind one of the gargoyles on the side, but that doesn't stop Riku. "Heeeeeeeeere's Ansem!" he crashes the truck inches away from the gargoyle. "Hah!" Roxas points, only to be hit in the head with a book as Ansem gets out with his guardian behind him. "Bloody murder! Bloody murder!" Roxas flails his arms when the guardian suddenly picks him up and starts tickling him in the tummy.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Roxas cries through his laughter, dropping his Keys. This keeps on until Roxas, deprived of air, falls unconcious. "That's my plushie" Ansem takes the plushie from his coat sleeve. "But you can have this" he slides a Riku plushie into his sleeve. "That's what REALLY happened" Roxas finishes. "Either way, I still got in trouble!" Axel pouts. "Wait Riku, you were wearing a blindfold that whole time, how could see what you were doing?" Sora raises an eyebrow. "Hello? Transparent" Riku takes it out of his pocket and waves it in the air. "And you are one big liar" Riku looks to Roxas. "You're the liar!" Roxas points. "So who's telling the truth?" Demyx asks. "Actually, Riku's telling the truth. I don't know how to drive" Roxas tears up. "It's easy! All you need is a drive bar and say "Drive Power!" Sora gets up and accidentally Drives. "NOOOOOO!" Riku runs behind Axel. "What's he doing?" Axel raises an eyebrow. Unfortunately, he gets sucked into the body of stupidity. To be continued!
