Chapter 26: Confrontation
(Axel's POV)
"Larxene got what was coming to her and now it'll be your turn."
"Axel, you'll never win."
"I guess we'll just have to see about that!"
Marluxia lunges forward with his scythe and slings it around with fatal intentions. A precise and skillful opponent but much too arrogant for his own good. I reciprocate the incoming onslaught with fireblasts and my trademark chakrams. Marluxia falls back on impact but quickly recovers. We dance across the room, two assassins ready to strike. A menacing chuckle escapes from Marluxia and a introspective glare appears upon his face.
What is he up to?
A whirlwind of crimson petals surround him and then I see the results of his brainstorm unfold. Namine. He's using Namine as a shield.
The foolish coward.
Namine stands frozen in place and I can see her whole body quiver. Marluxia holds the pointed blade to her throat. Her ocean blue eyes turn to stone and pierce through me with their silent cries for help. I disregard her existence.
"You know that won't do you any good, Marluxia."
"I wonder…"
"I'll attack you regardless and you know that."
"Sora, did you hear what Axel said?"
I quickly turn around and see the boy standing near the entrance. The door slams with a loud thud and Sora pulls out his keyblade.
"I heard plenty."
"Are you going to let Axel sacrifice her safety?"
"Over my dead body!"
"Sora, are you really going to believe Marluxia?"
"I don't believe either of you," he yelled, "I'll fight him after I finish you."
"Tsk tsk, you've already become Marluxia's pawn."
"I will never be his pawn."
I chuckle and flash a satisfied grin.
This kid really has no idea of how unfortunate his situation is.
"I'd rather not fight you," I jest, "but, I've got an obligation to the Organization."
"And, I've got an obligation to Namine."
"We'll just have to see how that works out for you," I snicker, "won't we?"
