Saix came into Axel's room, his expression serious – well, more serious than usual. "Axel, I have a very important message from Lord Xemnas. You need to find a way to ensure that Xion doesn't try to pull off anything like that again," the blue-haired Nobody relayed.
"Understood. I'll do my best," Axel said. Saix left.
The redhead walked over to Xion's room and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He opened the door and walked in.
Xion was curled up on her bed, sulking. "You know that you'll be better off if you do what you're told. You don't want them to destroy you," Axel warned.
Xion threw a pillow at Axel, shouting: "Go away!"
Axel caught the pillow and placed it on Xion's bed. Axel realized that it was time for plan B. "Okay, fine. I'll just go." He sighed.
He went to get Demyx. He knew that Roxas probably wouldn't cooperate after what he did so he didn't even bother with asking Roxas about joining him. After he told Demyx the plan, Demyx and Axel went back to Xion's room.
Xion was now sitting on her bed, still sulking. Demyx started playing what Axel requested. Axel put an arm around Xion and started singing:
"Xion, listen to me. Other Worlds, they're a mess. Life in the Realm Between is better than anything they got out there.
The grass seems always greener
In somebody else's World.
You dream about going out there,
But you're just a little girl
Just look at the World around you,
Right here in all this white.
Familiar space surrounds you.
Easier to not take flight.
The Realm Between,
The Realm Between!
Darling, it's better.
You're all set here,
In Realm Between!
While you've got me,
Sure, we work all day,
But at Sunset we
And Roxas play.
Us eating ice cream,
The perfect team
Of Realm Between!"
It managed a tiny smile from Xion. Axel got up and stood by Demyx as they sang together:
"Down here we may be unhappy,
But only 'cause we have no Hearts.
Yet Dusks can never be happy,
They're sad 'cause can't get those parts.
But Dusks that get sent out are in trouble,
They're in for a worser fate.
One day when the Boss bursts their bubble,
They get to shatter and break."
Axel went back to singing by himself:
"The Realm Between,
The Realm Between!
Nobodies need you
With your Keyblade to
Help us be free.
We only want to be complete,
Though it seems an impossible feat.
We'll have no troubles.
You 'n' Roxas doubles
In Realm Between!
The Realm Between!
Life's not too sweet here
But we got the beat here,
Naturally!
Even though you don't know the way,
You can take things day by day.
We've got the spirit,
Don' have to fear it,
In Realm Between!
You're so cute,
That's absolute.
An' you're sharp
As a kid shark.
The secret ace
In our place.
Lovely as a harp,
Yet you got sass
And you're fast.
You're sweet
And you're neat.
You're no fluke,
Don't rebuke
Our goal." "Yeah!" Demyx broke in, only tobe tripped by Axel as he sang:
"Just say
'It's the way'.
It brings
Lots of things.
No bowing out,
So how about
You keep it coming?
So where are you at?
'Cause you're up to bat.
And, oh, that Keyblade swing."
Axel and Demyx sang together again.
"Yeah, The Realm Between,
The Realm Between,
When you obey us
Without a fuss,
It's music to me.
What do they got
In other lands?
We got a bunch of rubber bands." Axel pulled out a lot of them from his pocket, making Xion giggle at the absurdity. He locked eyes with her, continuing with sincerity:
"You're not a sham here
So long as you stand here
In Realm Between!
No-one is perfect,
You've got to work it
In Realm Between!
You will not fail here,
You won't go stale here,
That's why we're always
Fighting for a place.
We won't be stuck here,
Down in the muck here,
The Realm Between!"
"I'll think about it Axel," Xion sighed.
"You better. It's not easy to write a song within such a limited amount of time," Axel said, earning a laugh from the two younger Nobodies.
