NOTE:I wrote this chapter really quick. All I wanted to do in it was kill off Kerix and introduce Gaxara. So….enjoy?
Hiero slashed down. His scythe collided with the Axel on the left, and he was sent flying back. On the ground, he began changing, and changed into Zexion.
The real Axel walked over to Zexion, who hastily disappeared. "C'mon, let's go." Axel said, and created a portal. Hiero and Axel entered.
They reappeared in the Computer Room of Hollow Bastion. Nobody was around.
Axel approached a chair near a computer and plopped himself down. He threw his arms behind his head and sighed. "Well, now what?"
"I never thought we would meet again."
A portal appeared in the room, and a man with short spiky blue hair and red eyes walked out. Kerix, the Master of the Moon.
Axel stood up and summoned his chakram. Hiero summoned his scythe as well.
Kerix laughed evilly and threw his left leg back. He stuck his hands forward, and blue flames materialized in the air. They went together, and created a double-sided sword.
Hiero ran forward, but Kerix just slashed him into the air. He landed a good 30 meters away.
Kerix laughed and charged forward. Blue light began to emit from all around him. He charged forward, Axel jumping out of the way just in time. The tip of Kerix's blade stabbed right into the computer monitor.
It exploded, causing all of the other computers to explode as well. There was a blinding light, and Hiero was sent flying back. He slammed into a wall, and everything went black.
Hiero lifted his head slowly. It throbbed with pain. There was a cold breeze in the computer room. H looked up and gasped.
Where the computers were there was now a large hole. The hole extended up, and looked like it blasted a few higher floors to smithereens as well.
Hiero got up, ignoring his throbbing head. He shook Axel, who was beside him. He awoke, and gasped at the sight as well.
They heard a moaning sound. Axel ran over to a pile of rubble, and threw it off. Kerix was buried underneath it.
His coat was now cut up. His hair was matted, and blood was all over his face.
He looked up at Axel, and laughed, but he sounded more in pain. "I guess… I could never really be…. Saix." His head dropped down, and he began to fade. He disappeared into the darkness.
Gaxara walked along the catwalk of Hollow Bastion when the explosion happened. He was sent flying back, and had to grab onto the catwalk to prevent himself from flying. His Organization coat billowed in the breeze. What now? He though. He had red short hair but long bangs, and his bangs covered his left eye. He had black lines under each eye, showing that he never slept. His eyes were a crimson color. And his skin was bone white.
He created a portal and hoisted himself up. Better see what happened. He thought.
Axel and Hiero were just getting their thoughts together, when another portal appeared. A red headed boy, about the same height as Hiero, walked out.
They summoned their weapons, but the boy ignored them. He was looking at the crater that was the Computer Room. Then he put his hand to his face and snickered. "Axel, you really have out done yourself this time. Just to destroy our data on our big plan, you blow up half of Hollow Bastion castle!"
"It wasn't me." Axel replied angrily, shaking his chakram. "It was your boy Kerix."
Gaxara shook his head, making a tsk tsk sound. "Kerix, always trying to do something important for N.O.B.O.D.Y. He ended up blowing himself up. Oh well." Then he turned his head to Hiero. He stepped forward and stuck out his hand. "Name's Gaxara, the Dark Manipulator."
Hiero didn't shake his hand. He just stared angrily back at Gaxara. Gaxara withdrew his hand, and turned around. He walked a few steps.
"It's hard working for N.O.B.O.D.Y. destroy him, destroy her. Gets old after a while ya know?"
Axel and Hiero didn't respond. "Dexsis and Xuna will stop at nothing to get Marluxia back, Hiero. And Axel, watch your back, Zexion wishes your demise more than anything."
Then Gaxara disappeared, leaving Axel and Hiero to wonder about what he said.
