"Hm, my driving's improving."

I give myself a pat on the back. After going in circles about twenty times, I only caused some property damage and the mental scars of wandering children I almost ran over. I walk into The Renovation Corp and search for Axel's office. This place looks pretty different during the day…

"…and red eyes…Should I do somethi-"I hear that Roxass kid's voice. So he made it here before me…Perfect. I walk faster toward Redhead's office. Suddenly I see five of Axel's partners marching toward me until they grab me and move further away from Roxas.

"Wh-What're you doing? Let go of me!" I shout but am completely ignored. They drag me back to the entrance and block any ways of escape. As soon as I take out Axel's lighter, Twelve…er, Larxene grabs it.

"Ah-ah-ah! No scythe for you, asshole." she sneers. Saix and Luxord are standing in front of me as Xigbar and Xaldin grab my arms, rendering me inactive. I smile dejectedly at Saix's dull countenance.

"Eight, I will only tell you this once. Free Axel now." the blue-haired boss says.

"What if I don't?"

"We're obliged to dispose of you, of course." the blond gambler explains, sighing.

"You're bluffing."

"No way," says the pirate. "We can always find a replacement."

"Please cooperate with us while we're still being merciful." Xaldin states darkly. I gulp. That's right…They have better control of their other halves and can sic them on me at any time…

"F-Fine! Fine, I'll go back to sleep!" I give up, knowing that they're serious. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. Alright, Redhead…Get your lazy ass up…
