Larxene and Sora reached the front of Monstro's mouth. BHK (Ted) had moved some of the wood into piles around a small fire. Axel was cooking some fish on the fire that he had created. As Larxene and Sora walked up, BHK (Ted) looked at them, "It'll be a few minutes till the fish is ready, Axel just started cooking them. Axel nodded, then grumbled, "I wish I had some Cocoa Krispies instead of fish..." The others just ignored him. Larxene and Sora sat down on some of the wood around the fire. Axel scooted back to also sit down on some wood closer to the fire so that he could watch the fish. They were all sitting around the fire silently, until Sora spoke up. "Sora wants to know how everyone got in Monstro. Sora isn't sure how he got here... Sora thinks he was swimming, then there was a flash of light." BHK (Ted) nodded, "That sounds like what happened to me... But what about you guys?..." he looked at Axel and Larxene. Axel spoke up, "We're on a secret mission!" Larxene glared at him, "Axel! You idiot! If it is a secret mission, then we shouldn't tell anyone about it!" Axel looked at Larxene sadly, "But..but...they're our friends! We can trust them!" Larxene sighed, "Oh well...since you already told them that we had a mission...I guess it wouldn't cause any harm to tell them more..." Axel nodded, "Yes, we can tell them what we know!" BHK (Ted) looked at Axel, "Uh...you mean you don't know much about your mission?..." Axel shook his head, "Not exactly..." Larxene nodded, "You see...we work for..a...group called the Organization. Everyone has missions every now and then, and people are usually paired off, there is safety in numbers. For this mission, Axel and I were paired up together. We met up with our base leader Marluxia in Castle Oblivion, and he gave us a short mission briefing. He said that the mission was of utmost importance and secrecy. It was so secret that he told us to go to Traverse Town, then open this envelope." Larxene pulled a plain, white envelope from her pocket. On the back, it was sealed with Marluxia's seal. His seal was pink wax with a fancy M imprinted into it. Behind the M was the image of a scythe, Marluxia's weapon of choice. Axel's eyes widened, "You...you have the envelope!" Larxene glared at Axel, "Be quiet, I'm not done telling the story!" Axel pouted, but kept a steady stare on the envelope. Larxene rolled her eyes, then continued. "So, after receiving our orders, Axel and I went to the Gummi Ship dock. We got into the ship sanctioned for our mission, and Axel insisted on being the pilot." BHK (Ted) interrupted, "Wait...you let Axel be the pilot?..." Larxene looked at BHK (Ted), "Despite Axel's...issues... he isn't too bad of a pilot...if he concentrates... Back to the story... Axel decided to try out some fancy maneuvers...and we ended up getting lost...then eaten by Monstro..." She pointed off to the left, "Over there is the remains of the Gummi Ship...it's nearly intact...but we can't get it to run..." Axel looked at Larxene, "Are you done?" Larxene nodded, "Yeah...that's pretty much everything." Axel nodded, "Good..." He then grinned insanely, "GIMMIE!" and tried to take the envelope out of Larxene's hand. Larxene reacted quickly and stood up, sending Axel tumbling to the ground. Axel sat up, pouting. Larxene looked down at him, "You know our orders! We aren't supposed to open the envelope!" Axel looked up at her, "So? Like Marluxia is really gonna know we opened the envelope early..." Larxene looked at Axel, "Come on Axel...you know Marluxia is smarter than that... He could have set traps in the envelope... It could even blow up if we open it too early... Or...it could self-destruct after we read it, and then we could forget our mission..." Axel looked up at Larxene, "So?... Explosions are cool!" Larxene smacked her forehead, "Not when they kill you... The envelope could be trapped so that if it fell into the wrong hands...or opened not in Traverse Town...it could possibly kill someone! We're not taking any chances!" She clutched the envelope tightly. Axel hopped up, "It won't hurt if we just take a small peek..." Larxene growled, "Yes it will... There is no way to 'peek' in a sealed envelope!" Axel looked at Larxene, "I could just melt the seal..." Larxene sighed, "You dingbat! That could mess up the letter...or whatever... inside! Just leave the envelope alone until we get to Traverse Town!" Axel frowned, "Larxene...what if we never get to Traverse Town? We're stuck inside a whale! Maybe we could complete the mission from inside Monstro!" Larxene looked at Axel, "We will get to Traverse Town. We will not fail this mission." she said dangerously. Axel took a small step backwards, then appeared to gather his courage. He then jumped at Larxene and tried to grab the envelope. Thinking quickly, Larxene yelled, "Shadows!" Some Shadows appeared, and she tossed the envelope to them. "Don't let Axel have the envelope!" Axel, seeing that Shadow with the envelope, turned his attention to the Shadow. He ran at it, "Gimmiegimmiegimmie!" The Shadow just melted into a pool of darkness, then appeared next to Larxene, it handed her the envelope, then it disappeared. "Give up Axel, you can't win!" She said. Axel ran at Larxene, but he was stopped by 3 Keyblades. Sora and BHK (Ted) were blocking him. BHK (Ted) looked at Axel, "Axel...you are going too far... Just calm down..." Sora nodded in agreement. Axel, knowing he was beaten, sunk to the ground. He started to cry, "It's not fair! I don't get any Cocoa Krispies, Larxene gets to name Ted, and now she has the special envelope!" Sora and BHK (Ted) looked down at him, and, seeing he was no longer a threat, put away their Keyblades. Then, BHK (Ted) looked at the fire. His eyes widened, "Oh great! The fish are on fire!" He ran to the fire, and kicked the fish out of it. He splashed some water on them, and they were completely charred black. Sora looked sadly at the fish, "Sora doesn't want to eat those..." BHK (Ted) nodded, "I don't think anyone does..." Suddenly, Axel was next to them. He sniffed the air. "Something smells good..." BHK (Ted) looked at Axel, "Uhh..the only thing I smell is burnt fish..." Axel sniffed the fish, "That's where the smell is coming from! I want it!" Larxene, BHK (Ted), and Sora all gave each other odd looks, then BHK (Ted) said, "I guess you can have them...but you have to help us cook some more fish." Axel looked at the fish, then back to BHK (Ted). "You've got yourself a deal!" Axel grabbed a big handful of charcoaled fish and started chowing down. He then spoke with a full mouth, "This is great!" he swallowed, "But not as good as Cocoa Krispies..." and continued to eat the rest of the fish. BHK (Ted) held out some fresh fish he had picked up while Axel was eating, "Here, cook these...you can char whatever that is not eaten by everyone else." Axel nodded enthuastically, then started cooking the fish. They didn't get burnt this time, instead they were a nice golden brown. Larxene, BHK (Ted), and Sora ate their fill of the fish, and there was one left. Axel took the leftover fish and burnt it to a crisp. He then happily munched on it, till it was gone. The small group continued to sit around the fire, enjoying its warmth.
