(A/N): Another chapter! Please review! (Disclaimer): I do not own Kingdom Hearts! WOW!
"Xemnas!?" Edea, and Saix yelled as they walked down the streets of traverse town.
"You know, he won't come out if you yell like that..." Xigbar said, looking from booth to booth for the said nobody.
"Why am I doing this? Why should I care about Saix, and his insane revenge schemes?" Marluxia spoke off handedly as Edea, and Saix glared at him. "Oh? Did I say that out loud?"
"Axel?" Roxas asked.
"Yes Roxas?" Axel responded.
"Where is that other guy that looks a lot like you?"
"Hmm..." Axel stared in contemplation.
"Hey!!! Is anyone there?! HELLO?! Some one let me go!" Reno yelled, still chained up underground. "You guys suck!" He stared into the darkness for a minute or two. "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down! The medicine go down! The medicine go down!"
"I'm sure wherever he is, he'll be fine." Axel muttered before casually walking off.
"We're eventually gonna crash from all the weight we're putting on my ship..." Demyx muttered as he tagged along behind everyone else with Zexion.
"That... would be bad." Zexion spoke, trying to maintain the conversation.
"And we don't have any idea where we're going, we could be flying around forever, and never find him." Demyx complained.
"That's true, but, I know for a fact Xemnas is not here, his smell is gone." Zexion spoke.
"Any idea where he would go?" Demyx asked with interest.
"Based on his personality, he would not go to Castle Oblivion, or the Castle That Never Was. He would hide out close by until the coast was clear." Zexion explained.
"Is that true young one?" Edea appeared behind Zexion out of nowhere.
"..." Zexion remained calm.
"Why don't you tell matron all about your boss's habits." Edea grabbed Zexion, and pressed him against her bosom.
"We'll tell you where he went." Yuna said as she fluttered down out of no where.
"Then tell me." Edea spoke bluntly.
"Twilight Town." Rikku spoke, hovering next to Yuna and Paine.
"And how did you come by this... wonderful information?" Edea asked.
"Le Blanc... kinda... fell in love?" Yuna sheepishly answered. "And she ran off to chase after him..."
"He's cheating... he must be disposed of." Edea spoke plotting in her mind. "Young one!" Edea turned towards Demyx. "Let me use your ship! Take me with you!" She demanded.
"Um..." Demyx started, planning to say no, but the sorceress's eyes glowed bright red, as Saix glared from behind. "...Okay..." Demyx gasped, defeated.
"Great! So where is your ship?" Edea asked as everyone stared at her with oh-you-don't-know-what-you're-in-for expressions.
"WHAT, IS, THIS!?" Edea yelled when presented her escort, the giant moogle gummi ship. "Aha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! This is rich, I suppose it's better than nothing, let us go!" Edea laughed entering the ship.
"Whiteout here, and here, and here. There it's done, my own wardrobe request form." Larxene gloated fanning the forms in her hands.
"Gah..." Luxord gasped knocked out on the floor, a large, red, bump on his head.
"My, my, my, you have a woman in your organization?" Edea spoke entering the ship.
"Let me guess... Xemnas broke up with you, and you're using us as pawns to destroy him?" Larxene retorted to Edea's remark.
"My, my, aren't you clever." Edea voiced sarcastically. You could almost see that sparks between the two women as they glared at each other.
"Women." Xigbar spoke as he watched Larxene, and Edea glare at one another.
"I'm betting on Edea to win." Axel spoke, as he and Roxas mocked Larxene behind her back.
"Let's go! Let's go!" Saix yelled as he pushed Demyx and Zexion into the ship.
"Okay, Okay!' Demyx said as he sat down, and prepped the ship.
"..." Zexion sat shotgun as Demyx's ship lifted off.
"First we'll boil him alive!" Edea spoke as she drew a picture of a tiny Xemnas being boiled alive.
"Then we'll tie him up to Larxene's electrocutioner!" Saix yelled as he drew Xemnas being zapped by an electric chair with Larxene laughing sadistically.
"Oh what about feeding him ro rabid mushroom heartless?" Edea asked, drawing mushrooms jumping on Xemnas's head.
"Yes, yes! Then we can set him on fire, and roast him!" Saix cheered, they continued in this manner for quite some time. They drew more, and more manners of torture until they had filled up most of the paper.
"We need one more..." Edea spoke as she and Saix sat in contemplation.
"Take this Roxas!" Axel yelled as he fought against his best friend in some sort of video game.
"Ha missed! Take this you pyromaniac!" Roxas began to get the upper hand.
"What? You're cheating! My controller is screwed up! This character sucks!" Axel began to panic. He looked over to his friend. "Roxas!?"
"What? I'm not going to go easy on you." Roxas continued his assault.
"Hmpf." Axel grabbed Roxas's controller, and lifted it up high above his head.
"Hey give it back! Cheat! Cheat!" Roxas hopped up and down trying to get his controller back.
"Loser." Axel snickered as he continued playing with his other hand. "You're so short, haha."
"You suck." Roxas yelled, Axel still teasing him.
"I win!" Axel yelled as he did a little dance, Roxas glared at him.
"I win Luxord! Axel won, pay out!" Xigbar wrapped his arm around Luxord's neck.
"Bloody... fine, take it." Luxord pulled money out of his wallet. "I can't believe this."
"Haha! Too bad Luxord!" Xigbar laughed.
"Larxene, I want my forms back." Marluxia said to Larxene.
"Too bad you just have to fill them out again." Larxene retorted.
"Hmpf." Marluxia grunted. "The second you let your guard down Larxene..." Marluxia thought to himself.
"Zexy?" Demyx asked.
"Yes?" Zexion turned toward him.
"You know the seven princesses of heart?"
"I've heard of them." Zexion answered.
"Do you know their names?"
"Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White, Alice, and Kairi." Zexion listed them off.
"Have you ever wondered why Alice was one?" Demyx questioned.
"What do you mean?" Zexion stared in interest.
"I mean, for one she's not even a princess, and for two, princesses of heart are supposed to be all virtuous, and pure right?" Demyx explained.
"Right."
"Well haven't you heard that Alice is a brat?"
"Hmm."
"Don't you think that Ariel, who is a princess, and believes in true love would be better qualified to be a princess of heart?" Demyx finished.
"Hmpf, interesting." Zexion remarked. He probably needed to give Demyx more credit, he may not do it very often, but he did say some very profound things.
"Anyway, we're here!" Demyx cheered as he landed the ship.
The group of nobodies disembarked onto the streets of Twilight town, there were a few people walking down the streets, but it seemed that the larger part of the town's population was cheering down by the sandlot.
"You know, I never liked that 'struggle' battle thing when I used to live here... it's way to violent." Demyx spoke in a casual tone.
"You're such a bad liar! The reason you didn't like it was because you always lost!" Larxene laughed at Demyx as she passed by, shoving him out of the way.
"Come on Roxas! Let's enter the competition!" Axel yelled as he grabbed Roxas, and ran off.
"Let's find Xemnas!" Edea yelled, as she and Saix ran off together.
"We're gonna get him! We're gonna get him!" Saix cheered.
"Whatever you say." Xigbar said nonchalantly, following the two crazed lunatics.
"Come on let's follow them." Yuna spoke as she, and the other two fairies followed.
"Time to get some new clothes for my wardrobe!" Larxene cheered.
"Gr..." Marluxia mumbled, following secretly behind Larxene.
"I'm gonna go rip more people off for all their worth." Luxord said as he ran off cards, and dice in hand, to go extort, and rip off people for every penny they have to their name.
"..." Zexion watched the others walk off as he was left alone with Demyx.
"Meow." Zexion turned toward the sound to see a black and white cat sitting on top of a store. Zexion stared up at the cat, and then he noticed, that from the front the cat looked suspiciously like Cait Sith.
"Here kitty! Here kitty, kitty, kitty!" Demyx chanted as he lifted his hands up to catch the cat, but it refused to come down.
"Cats are too prideful to follow a human's commands, you might as well be talking to a stuffed animal." Zexion spoke off handedly.
"I'll get it to come down if it kills me." Demyx retorted.
"Well when you die of cat scratch fever..." Zexion spoke.
"What do you mean there's an entrance fee!?" Axel yelled at the man at the registration desk.
"I'm sorry, but if you want to participate in the struggle battles, it's gonna cost you." The man stated bluntly.
"Roxas, you got any cash on you?" Axel yelled back to Roxas who was busy talking to some unimportant nobodies, whose names were irrelevant.
"No! And even if I did, I wouldn't let you have it! You still owe me anyway!" Roxas yelled back.
"Arggh!" Axel yelled as he kicked a ball on the ground. The said ball went flying and smashed Roxas across the head knocking him out.
"Yes, I'll take, that one, that one, oh and this one too." Larxene spoke as she placed more, and more articles of clothing on the store's counter. "It's a wonderful day to be me." Larxene continued her frenzied shopping.
"Damn you..." Marluxia fumed quietly as he watched from the slow moving tram on market street.
"Nice kitty." Demyx said as he petted the Cait Sith look alike.
"..." Zexion ignored Demyx as he sipped iced tea out of a Styrofoam cup.
"Zexy tea is nasty! Why do you drink such vileness?" Demyx asked as the cat hopped out of his lap, and ran off.
"Have you even tried tea?" Zexion asked.
"As a matter of fact, I have!" Demyx responded in a rebellious tone.
"Demyx?" Zexion turned toward the other nobody.
"Yeah Zexy?"
"This town, doesn't something strike you as... odd?" Zexion stared up at the orange and grey sky.
"Besides the fact that there is no day or night?" Demyx joked.
"No..." Zexion let out a breath of frustration. "The people... they are all nobodies... but, they all act utterly normal, as if they have hearts. What's worse about the situation, is that they should remember their original selves, but none of them act like they do." Zexion explained.
"I've never noticed it." Demyx stared blankly as he thought.
"Whatever..." Zexion looked off into the distance.
"Come on push! Push damn you!" Axel yelled at Roxas as he pushed a heavy cart loaded down with brown sacks.
"I am pushing you jerk!" Roxas pushed his back against the heavy cart, his feet not able to get a hold on the ground.
"I'm a jerk am I? What a pathetic comeback, well Roxas, if I'm jerk, than you can be my slave! S-L-A-V-E! Got it memorized?" Axel yelled tapping on his head. The cart slipped down hill a few feet.
"Why don't you dedicate more energy into push this cart than spouting off your stupid one liners!" Roxas chastised his friend.
"INFIDEL! My one liners happen to be witty and clever!" Axel yelled back.
"What did this guy load this thing up with anyway!" Roxas asked.
"Don't know, don't care! Now work slave!" Axel yelled panting.
"That's it!" Roxas stopped pushing, and jumped out of the way.
"What?! What are you doing!?" Axel yelled as the cart began to roll down hill. Axel pushed as hard as he could, but he couldn't keep the cart up. The cart finally won as it rolled on top of him, and dragged him down the hill screaming.
"S-C-R-E-W-Y-O-U. Got it memorized?" Roxas laughed, imitating Axel with twisted irony...
"Xemnas! Xemnas! Come to matron!" Edea yelled running down market street station heights.
"Come on please! We promise we won't harm you!" Saix followed behind Edea looking into the windows of all the stores.
"I told you earlier, yelling for him won't work." Xigbar explained, he was currently enjoying himself eating some kind of doughnut he had bought from a street vendor.
"We don't care! We'll search here to the brink of despair to find him!' Edea, and Saix cried.
"AHHHHHHHH!!! Out of the way!!! MOVE!" The Voice of Axel yelled as Xigbar, and the others turned their attention up the street. There Axel was, on top of a cart laden with brown sacks, rolling down market street at break neck speed.
"AHHHHHH!" The three screamed as they ran down the street as fast as they could to avoid being mowed down by Axel, and his cart.
"Thank goodness we can fly tee-hee!" Rikku stated as she, and the other two fairies, floated up above the town to watch the chain of events set fourth by Roxas.
"Hey Zexy, what's that sound?" Demyx spoke as he turned toward the direction of the train station. "I think it's screaming."
"Axel, Edea, Saix, and Xigbar are all on their way here at a very quick speed. I don't know why." Zexion stated.
"And you tell all of that from smell?" Demyx stated as the screaming became more audible.
"I wonder what they have gotten themselves into this time." Zexion calmly evaded Demyx's question.
Edea, Saix, and Xigbar, rounded the corner onto the tram common, being chased by a large cart with Axel riding on the top, as the cart rolled down the ramp it sped quickly across the street. As it crossed the square, the tram crossed paths with the runaway cart.
"Damn you Larxene." Marluxia fumed as he glared at her from the tram, the sound of screaming in the background. "What is that annoying sound?!" Marluxia turned to the other side of the tram to see Axel, and his speeding cart. "Oh my holy..." Marluxia gawked at the sight. "AHHHH!!!" Marluxia screamed as the cart approached, the tram moving slowly forward barely missing the cart. "Oh my poor nonexistent heart." Marluxia panted as he rested on the tram seat.
"Life is sweet." Larxene cheered as she looked through all the clothes on the rack in the store, the sound of screaming drawing closer in the background. "Huh?" She turned to look out of the store window. The tram slowly moved out of way, the screaming cart charging it's way toward her, Saix and the others jumping out of the way. "Gah!!!" Larxene let out as she turned, and ran for the back of the store as quickly as her high heel boots would carry her. She pushed a circular clothing rack out of the way, the cart driving itself though the window. She reached the back of the store, the cart still rushing to meet her, she turned left, and right to see and open dressing room. As the cart plowed though all the clothes racks Larxene leaped into the room just in time to avoid being crushed, but she failed to consider one very special detail... When Larxene jumped into the dressing room , the cart pushed the dressing room door closed behind her, it was sitting firm right in front of it.
"Whoa... what a trip." Axel nonchalantly muttered as he removed the random articles of clothing that had fallen on top of him. He jumped off the cart, and dusted himself off. "I'm okay!" He yelled as he walked though the store's broken window.
"I'm so glad..." Sorceress Edea spoke sarcastically lifting herself off the ground.
"Wahhh!!! Xiggy! I have a boo-boo!" Saix cried as Xigbar pulled out a band aid.
As every one stared at the crying Saix, Marluxia got off the tram, and wandered into the ruined store.
"Larxene? Larxene are you okay?" He said.
"Hello?!" Hello!!??" Larxene yelled from inside the dressing room. "Someone let me out dammit!"
"Oh ho! So now miss sadist lady is trapped, how does it feel when your malice comes full circle?" Marluxia taunted Larxene.
"Marluxia? Dammit Marluxia let me out!" Larxene yelled, beating on the door.
"Sorry, being in this black trench coat all day had made me a little tired..." He noticed something on the ground. "Oh? These are my wardrobe forms! Now how do you think they got out here?" Marluxia spoke with bitter irony.
"You horrible, monstrous, sick, demented, psychotic, son of a!" Larxene yelled.
"Now, now, as I said before, you're much to tomboyish to be wearing feminine clothing." Marluxia remarked tapping on the door.
"Why?! Are you some sort of cross-dresser?" Larxene spoke calmly.
"Anything would look better on me than it would you!" Marluxia yelled.
"Well that was crazy." Demyx remarked staring at ground zero.
"They could have just teleported..." Zexion sighed at the foolishness of his peers.
"And here we spot the elusive Organization XIII at play!" Yuna yelled into a mike, she was dressed in her songstress outfit.
"They're so stupid!" Rikku yelled, holding a video camera, filming Yuna.
"We're standing right here!" Demyx yelled.
"Oops..." Paine spoke sarcastically.
"Ignore them, their not important." Zexion spoke as he looked away, and smirked.
"That's not nice! We're the MC's to the struggle battles." Yuna spoke. "But anyway, we have to get to the sand lot, registration's over soon!" Yuna and the other fairies disappeared in a flash of light.
"This will most likely not end well." Zexion spoke calmly.
"I know, anything involving those three will pretty much always end in disaster." Demyx petted the cat in his arms.
"Let's go to the sandlot." Zexion spoke as the two walked off.
"So Setzer, play or fold." Luxord spoke to the white haired man in the purple clothes.
"Hmmm..." Setzer looked, deep in thought. "I'll take two." He spoke, ridding himself of two cards, and grabbing two more. "Go." He spoke bluntly.
"Full house." Luxord played his hand. "Pretty good eh?"
"Hmph." Setzer played his cards on the table. "Straight flush." Setzer smirked as he gathered all of the poker chips off the table, and poured them into a sack.
"What next?" Luxord asked, picking up his own bag off poker chips.
"The secret gambling casino near the sandlot, their taking bets on winners..." Setzer smirked again.
"So many bees..." Roxas spoke reaching the sandlot, several bee stings all over him. "At least I got the money..."
"Roxas!" Axel appeared behind him.
"Ah! What are you doing?" Roxas asked.
"S-C-R-E-W-Y-O-U. Got it memorized?" Axel glared at Roxas.
"Gah... I registered you too..." Roxas sheepishly handed Axel his pass.
"Very good Roxas, how smart of you!" Axel grabbed the ticket out of his hand.
"Whatever..." Roxas said in a frustrated tone.
"Maybe we will see Xemnas here?" Saix asked Edea, they were sitting in the bleachers.
"If he is I'll find him!" Edea looked though a pair of binoculars.
"..." Demyx, and Zexion remained silent.
"What happened to Larxene?" Xigbar asked Marluxia, who was using whiteout on some papers.
"Oh, nothing, she wasn't feeling well so she's in a stall somewhere." Marluxia fanned the papers to dry the whiteout.
"Hmmmm..." Xigbar stared in suspicion.
"Hello nobodies of Twilight Town! We are you're MC's and referees! Y R P!!!" Yuna, Rikku, and Paine, appeared on top of a podium over looking the struggle arena.
"The tournament will be held in a single elimination format, and the winner goes home with this fabulous prize!" Rikku started enthusiastically.
"A year supply of pastry mix... The first match is Seifer vs. Hayner." Paine finished... unenthusiastically...
"The tournament is about to begin..." Setzer spoke as he handed Luxord the list of competitors across the table of the secret casino. The TV screens had a clear view of the tournament grounds.
"Let's see, Seifer, Raijin, Hayner, Axel, Roxas, blah, blah, blah, the rest are insignificant, oh wait, what's this?" Luxord looked at the bottom of the list. "Xaldin?" He read the name. "This will be easier than I thought..."
"I love hotdogs!" Saix spoke as he ate the processed meat. Edea, still looked though the crowed with her binoculars, and Xigbar watched the one sided match between Seifer, and Hayner.
"Want some popcorn Zexy?" demyx asked holding out a bag of popcorn to Zexion.
"..." Zexion grabbed some out of the need to seem polite.
The battle ended with Seifer as the winner. The other less important battles were quickly finished, naturally Roxas, and Axel had won their battles. The time came for the last first tier battle, and the competitor was none other than Xaldin.
"What is Mr. Xaldin doing here?" Saix asked, the other nobodies in the stands were at a loss for words.
"Xemnas is close." Zexion spoke, Edea turned toward him.
"Excuse me, I have a boyfriend to torture!" Edea spoke as she left the stands.
"Wait for me!" Saix followed.
Obviously, Xaldin destroyed his nameless competitor, and it was now time for the semifinals.
"Ladies, and gentlemen, we have finally arrived at the semifinals, Seifer vs. Axel, and Xaldin vs. Roxas!!!" Yuna cheered, the crowd going wild.
"But there is a surprise!" Rikku cheered.
"This semifinal will be a battle royal, whoever wins... wins." Paine spoke calmly, Yuna, and Rikku staring at her blankly.
"What an interesting predicament." Luxord spoke as the door opened, and Xemnas walked though the door.
"When it rains, it pours." Luxord spoke as Xemnas sat down on the other side of the gambling bar.
"That gentleman place a large bet on that Xaldin character to win." Setzer spoke.
"I see." Luxord spoke, as another two people came though the door, it was... Saix, and Edea.
"Xemnas! My love, I've found you..." Edea spoke holding Le blanc captive in a bird cage.
"Yes, yes, it pours, it pours." Luxord took a sip of his drink.
The battle royal between nobodies raged on as Axel, and Roxas teamed up to take out Xaldin first. This was in vain, Seifer attacked and took out Roxas, Xaldin attacked Axel, and Seifer Xaldin, and Axel, Seifer. This continued on for a long time until suddenly, a massive lightning bolt struck in the center of the arena. All three nobodies were knocked out of the ring, as Sorceress Edea appeared with Saix next to her, holding Xemnas by his hood.
"Lookie, lookie who I found!" Saix cheered.
"Yes, yes, we have a very special form of torture for you... hehehehehehe!!!" Edea laughed.
"Zexy?" Demyx asked.
"Yes?" Zexion responded.
"Want more popcorn?"
