Chapter 9
Larxene: Now tell us, where have you been?
Me: Next chapter already, I'm mean… Raven and I were taking Hellsangel home, but somehow she convinces us to have a margarita… so yeah.
Yazoo: What do you mean "so yeah"?
Me: I can't remember what happen next but I somehow ended up with Slowly Going Crazy.
(SGC walks in)
SCG: They're slowly driving me crazy, I can't take this!
Larxene: I thought you were already crazy?
SCG: Enough with this! Go start your story as I go back to my story!
Jake felt better and happy with his new clothes. He is wearing a sleeveless jean jacket, a black short sleeve shirt, cargo pants, and black converses. "Thank you Flauna, Flora, and Merryweather," said Jake as he looks at the three fairies. "Your welcome," said Flauna. "Sorry how we kept changing the color of your new clothes new clothes," said Flora. "It's okay," said Jake. "Now we have one last thing to give you," said Merryweather. "Huh? One last thing?" said Jake, all confuse. "Yen Sid told us to give this to you," said Flauna. Flora gave Jake a wrap up thing. Jake uncovers it to reveal a sword that was light and perfect for him. "Yen Sid told us that, for some reason, it was meant for you," said Flora as Jake took a few swings with it. "He found it doing one of his rare visits to Twilight Town," said Flauna. "Come Jake, Yen Sid needs you," said Merryweather taking Jake to the door.
The next morning for Darlene and the gang was wakening by Aerith cooking. "Hey Aerith, what's for breakfast?" ask Yuffie. "Just making some bacon and eggs," said Aerith at the stove near Merlin's closet. Darlene got up from her bed to grab a plate when she notices somebody typing on the computer. "Hey Cid, what you're doing?" said Rikku flying over to his side. "I'm trying to create a defense mechanism to destroy the heartless that keeps attacking the market place. I was stuck there all day trying to get rid of all the heartless," said Cid. "Okay… but I want you to meet my new friend," said Rikku tugging his arm. "Watch it Rikku, you almost made me type the wrong code," said Cid turning his chair around. He walks up to Darlene. "So you must be Darlene, eh?" said Cid. "And you are?" said Darlene. "I'm Cid," said Cid. "Come you two, let's eat," said Aerith. After they ate, Leon walks into the room and grabs an apple that was on the center table. "I'll be heading out, so don't try to find me," said Leon. "Where you're going?" said Yuffie. "Just someplace," Leon said as he heads back out the door. "What's up with Leon?" ask Darlene. "Leon been busy searching for something," said Yuffie. "We don't know what yet, but he'll tell us as soon as he finds it," said Aerith. After a while Leon left, Darlene stood up and started walking toward the door. "What is it?" ask Yuffie. "I sense somehow someone else here," Darlene said before she ran out the door. "Wait up!" yell Rikku following her. The others also followed them. She stops at the Bailey. Everyone else stops too, and saw a long silver hair boy wearing a black cloak, which just also finish destroying two heartless. "Riku!" yell Darlene hugging the boy, almost tripping him. "Hello… I'm Rikku!" said Rikku. "Is that you Darlene?" said the boy Riku. "Yes Riku, it's me. What's wrong with your eyes?" ask Darlene. "My eyes never lie," he answers. "Hello?" said Yuffie. "Have you forgotten about us?" said Rikku. "Oh yeah sorry guys, this is Riku," said Darlene. "So your name is Rikku too?" I didn't know it could be a boy's name. I got to…" "Don't you think about it," interrupted Darlene. "Darn it," said Rikku. "So…" Darlene said ignoring Rikku, "what are you doing over here in Hollow Bastion?" "Training, but these heartless are way too easy," said Riku. Everyone stood there for a second when Yuffie thought up a good idea. "I have an idea; let's go to the Olympic Coliseum to train there. We can even enter the tournaments!" said Yuffie. "Good idea," said Darlene. "I'll stay here," said Aerith. "Me too," said Cid. "But who's going to drive? Leon isn't here and CID doesn't want to take us?" said Yuffie. "What? I'm too busy here, yah," said Cid. "I'll drive!" yell Darlene.
In the world of Atlantica…
"Now here's Demyx singing I write sins not Tragedies!" said the announcer. "Okay, stay calm and go out there and sing!" thought Demyx as he swims up to the stage. "I know, Dance Water Dance!" Water figures of him appear in the background. "Here I go," he said as they gave him the microphone.
♪"Oh, well imagine, as I pacing the pews in a church corridor and I can't help but to hear No I can't help but to hear in exchanging of words. 'What a beautiful wedding' what a beautiful wedding said the bride's maid to the waiter, and that's what, what a shame, what a shame the poor groom's bride is a… hoar.
I sign in with a, haven't you people ever heard of… closing the God damn door NO! It's much better to face these kinds of things! With a sense of a voice rationality. I sign in! Haven't you people ever heard of! Closing the God damn door no! It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense Ooh…"♫
(You get the point...)
"Let's hear it for Demyx!" yelled the announcer "Now lets see what our judges have to say." "It sounded pretty good, especially with those background dancers appearing out of nowhere," said Mr. E. "It sounded okay, you just need to keep your pitch in tune. You sounded like a girl for a sec, and what's up with those background dancers? All they did was play a guitar and move around," said Hellsangel. The last judge was mysterious, and was wearing some weird seaweed trench coat, and a hat made of shells and seaweed to match it. "What I think of Demyx's singing is horrible," he said. The crowd was shocked to what he just said. "BOO!" they yell. "All according to plan," he thought. "But was decent enough for me," he said. "So, does Demyx go to the next round?" said the announcer. There were a lot of cheers and yeses in the crowd. "Then Demyx gets to move on!" he yell. The crowd gave out happy shouts as he walks off the stage.
"Yes I made it!" he yells backstage. "You're pretty good," said a voice behind him. "I am, aren't I?" he said turning around to see a blond mermaid a couple inches shorter than him. "I heard you say something before you went up stage. What was it again, Dance, something, limbo?" "No it was Dance Water Dance!" he said. "Yay, say it again?" she said. "Um… Dance Water Dance?" Demyx said. "Got that out of me, now here's a song I want you to sing if you make it to the final round," she said showing him the song. "What song is it?" he said when he begin to look at it. "What! You want me to sing that!" he exclaim. "Just think about it. If you make it to the final round, I dare you to sing it," she said. "What? Now you dare me to sing this song?" Demyx said. "Yep, and you might get more votes," she said. "But…" "Valerie, we need you to be ready for stage and your song is again?" interrupted a backstage fish. "It's Butterfly," said Valerie. "So your name is Valerie, good luck," said Demyx. Valerie smiles at him, and swim off with the backstage fish.
Before Valerie went up to the stage, the mysterious judge came to her. "Did you show him the song?" he asks. "Yup, but he must win the second round to sing it," said Valerie. "Don't worry Val, the audience loves him right now, and as long as his singing doesn't drives me to the limited, he'll make it," he said as he started heading back to his chair. "And don't forget our deal," she said before she heads up to the stage.
Namine sit down on a chair near the portal she made. She was beginning to sketch something but you couldn't tell what it was yet. "I hope Axel is okay," she said to herself. "Since I can't go to the direction they're going, I might as will check the area they came since this is some kind of weird cavern," Axel thought as he ran the other direction of this one way cavern, "I got to find her fast before they find me and the portal, good thing they can't see it." He must have ran for a while when he notice something up ahead. When he got close to it, he saw what it was and hid in another hole and try to here what they were talking about. "I wonder why I always find a hole in the wall exactly when I needed it?" he thought before he started listening to the conversation.
"Vexen will you hurry up with that potion, she wakes up any minute now?" said Marluxia. "I'm hurrying as fast as I can. A potion takes time to make you know. This wouldn't happen if that girl hasn't showed up in that particular moment when Larxene was fading to this world," said Vexen. "Will hurry, I don't want her trying to attack us again and almost, somehow, escape this world," said Marluxia. "Don't worry I made this one stronger, guarantee to make her sleep longer," said Vexen. Replica Riku walks in the little potion section. "Vexen, Larxene is fully awake and now is trying to escape," he said. "Thanks Riku, return to her, we'll be there in a sec," said Vexen as Replica Riku left the area. "Did you hear him? The last time she escapes we couldn't catch her at all because of her speed," said Marluxia. "Why do think I change the world into a one way cavern? Besides, I'm done here, let's go," Vexen said before they left to the direction Replica Riku went. "So that answers two of my questions. I wonder if this hole can lead me to Larxene?" Axel thought, and just right behind him, a passage form. "This world is pretty useful," thought Axel. He follows the passageway until it led him to another opening near this one cell. Outside the cell were Vexen, Marluxia, and Replica Riku. Marluxia and Replica Riku had their weapons out ready to attack. Vexen, on the other hand, had a vile ready. He snaps his fingers and the bars disappear. "Oh Larxene, it's time to…Ugh!" he scream as something punch him in the stomach. "Where is she?" yell out Marluxia. "Thunder!" she yells out striking Replica Riku, knocking him out. "Larxene stop it! You know it's for your own good!" yell Marluxia, ready to strike. Larxene appear in front of him. "No it's not! I'm no lab rat! You all are just using me for some kind of twisted experiment to escape this world, because I almost did!" scream out Larxene. "No Larxene," said Vexen, with a choke up voice, "you know the real reason why we're doing this. We just can't let you see her," said Vexen. By hearing that, Larxene took off to the direction where all the potions were at. "She escape, again," said Marluxia. Then they saw a flash of lighting. "My potions!" exclaim Vexen. "We don't have time for that, let's go!" yell Marluxia as he created a portal. Vexen follow him, leaving the knock Riku behind. "Great, I could hang out here for a bit, but what's the fun of that?" he thought, "one last time, lead me to Larxene and the others." A new passageway form behind him, and he follow it. It was a little longer than the other one but it leads him to the commotion.
Larxene was using her power to zoom out of the area but a stone wall formed in front of her. "You're not escaping here that easily," said Zexion appearing with Lexaeus who is holding his tomahawk. "Let me through, and besides Zexion, aren't you the lab rat here?" said Larxene. "Your mind games won't work with me," said Zexion. "But why did you let them do so? You should have joined us when you had the chance, but look what they done to you. Your power is not the same because of the replica, and you try using Riku on your own, too. We could have join together to overthrown the Organization," said Larxene. "Don't listen to her Zexion. She's just trying to trick you to let her through," said Lexaeus. Zexion stood there for a bit thinking, then he finally talks. "We got to tell her the truth about the girl," he finally said. "Stop it Zexion, we're not suppose to tell her," said Lexaeus. Suddenly an ice beam hit Larxene in the back, freezing her than knocking her out, and she fell to the floor. "I still don't get where she keeps getting this energy to escape from us," said Marluxia, appearing with Vexen who's holding out his shield. "Zexion, you better not tell her anything about that girl," said Vexen. "I didn't, I only stall for time," said Zexion. "It better be," said Vexen, creating a portal around Larxene and both of them disappear.
"That was sort of interesting, now back to the cell," thought Axel as he head back to the passage. "What's wrong Zexion, that wasn't quite like you right now," said Lexaeus. "I sense the exact same darkness from earlier," said Zexion.
In Twilight Town…
"What's the news for today Pence?" ask Olette, sitting on their favorite couch. "Just some reports of missing potions, weapons, and armor," said Pence. "I wonder who's stilling all of this stuff," said Hayner, jumping down from his chair, "all of this started to happen ever since Jake came. How he never told us how he fought like that, or where he came from, and how the next day Fuu couldn't remember that she push Jake into the train." "She said she can't even remember what she did most of the day, either," said Pence. "There's something strange going on," said Olette.
A dark figure appear out of nowhere, hiding in the shadow, waiting for the old lady to go to the back to get more candy. It didn't take her that long. In an instant, it stole two boxes of Pocky, and Jolly Ranchers. He took off to the tunnels to hide. He went into a hidden door that was in the wall. He was about to open the box of Pocky when somebody open the hidden door. He turned to see a girl wearing a blue tank top shirt walk in. He was ready to attack her when she stops him. "Don't you remember me," she said. "I never heard you talk in a sentence before," he said. The girl looks angry at him. "It's me, Rayka!" she said. "Ooh, I keep forgetting you can control people sometimes. So how have you been?" he said. "Trying to find a person I can hide in was difficult. For some reason, the people here are protected with a spell. Only this one had it the weakest," she said. "So you're just controlling her temporally?" he asks. "Yes, and I have to leave soon before I loose my control and hide inside her," she said, "but I want you to do me a little favor. Remember that boy who always hang around with that girl, he's somewhere in town here, and I want you to kidnap him and take him to Hallow Bastion. I'll meet you there." "Jake is here also," he said turning around, "this could be fun." He turns around to see her gone. "How does everyone keep doing that?" he thought.
SGC: So is this chapter great?
Yazoo: It was pretty good. Where are Larxene and Sonicchica?
SGC: Not again, and I wonder how Hellsangel and Mr. E got in the story?
Yazoo: Maybe that's why Larxene isn't here.
SCG: But still doesn't answer where Sonicchica went!
