The Verdant Composer Chapter 2
Wahh, sorry DarkHand27, I made the mistake of doing the first chapter one day before going on a big two-week trip……. You're my favorite reviewer, I'll try not to let you down more nn; Green's your favorite color, huh? Well, don't hate Verdex….. you'll love his power. –evil laugh of foreshadowing-
Disclaimer: Dun own nuthin but Verdex and the banana thing. Hubcaps was allllll Sisi's.
---------------$$Verdex$$---------------
Verdex sat in a lawn chair in Marluxia's garden. He didn't care much for the flowers, but there was plenty of green foliage as well. He sipped a cup of green tea and stared dazedly at the trees.
Suddenly a large shadow with spiky red hair blocked his view of the leaves. He focused his vision to see Axel.
"Can I help you?" Verdex raised an eyebrow and set down his cup. Axel smiled sarcastically.
"No, not really." He then walked away, or at least started to. A few feet away, Axel turned around and stared at Verdex for a moment. So….familiar….
"Well?" Axel shook his head and then actually left. Verdex laughed.
---------------$$Later$$---------------
Verdex was lounging on a couch, reading a book about color mixing. He heard a rustling, and glanced around. He saw nothing, so he settled back into his book.
"Banana." Verdex jumped a bit, startled by the sound of Demyx's voice.
"Wh-what?"
"Bananas. Demyx likes bananas."
"Well…..I don't have any bananas for yo-"
"Banaaaaaaaana."
"Okay, but I-" "Banaaaaaaaaaaaaaaana." "…."
"Banana."
"Okay Demyx. I think Axel has a whole BUNCH of bananas for you."
"BANANA." Demyx then ran off to find Axel. Verdex sighed.
---------------$$Later, in Marluxia's garden$$---------------
"My GORGEOUS FLOWERS!" Verdex heard Marluxia yelling from his garden. He went over to find out what—
Oh….
There was nothing left. It was all ashes. Marluxia was collapsed on the ground, sobbing and muttering about Axel. Verdex glanced around, then said to Marluxia. "It was a nice garden before….."
Marluxia sniffed, gulped, and said, "This is the third time this month…it took me so long to get it all to grow back last time… but this time he went too far! He even scorched the grass!" Marluxia then began hammering nails into a little spiky-haired doll, muttering, "Axel….die……axel…….die……" ((Despite all this, I love Axel most of all, heheh))
"Here comes Johnny in again, with a liver and drugs, and a sex machine, he's gonna do another strip te-ase!" Axel sang his way into the garden, surveying his work, then froze when he saw the two in the middle. Then he returned to surveying.
Verdex said to Marluxia, "Don't worry. You will get justice in the end. Now, go find Demyx….I think he wants a banana." He waved Marluxia away.
Marluxia ran off to give Demyx a banana, leaving the two alone in the scorched garden. Axel smirked his adorable smirk at Verdex. (Waaah! Lucky dude!)
"What, you're going to fight me?"
"Maybe. But not here." Verdex began walking out of the garden, knowing Axel would follow. And, he did. Axel was very curious as to what Verdex's abilities were…..although, he was a bit nervous, as he was going to be the guinea pig.
Verdex had Axel follow him a long way, calmly walking along as Axel ran to keep up with him. Verdex then opened a door that Axel had never seen before.
---------------$$ The green room $$---------------
The entire room, was, well, green. But it didn't look like a room…..more like….a field of emerald grass, a dark green pond, even the sky was green. It looked like they were outside, but there was no wind, even though the grass was rustling in waves of light green against the darker background.
Verdex then turned to Axel, smiling. "Welcome to my room. Here is where Justice shall be Served."
He held out his hand to the side of him and jade green light shone from his hand. When the light faded away, a silver Composer's Wand appeared in his hand, a work of art with a green upside-down heart-shaped handle.
He pointed the wand at Axel menacingly. However, Axel laughed.
"That's your weapon? This should be easy." However, somewhere in the back of his mind, he remembered seeing that wand before, the same feeling of Déjà vu that he got from looking at Verdex himself. That same ominous, dark, sickening feeling…
He regained his composure and shouted, "You gonna fight or stand there?" He then summoned his chakrams (Isn't that what they were?) and charged.
Verdex waved his wand, and he disappeared. Axel stopped, surprised, and looked around. "What sort of trick is this? Invisibility?" A flash of a memory almost surfaced to his mind, but he only got part of the message. "No…. something…" He heard Verdex laugh near him, and flailed his weapons at the sound.
Nothing. He had missed. Axel snarled at the air. "I don't know what you did, but I'll figure-" He was suddenly hit by…nothing? He went flying, and then fell into the bottle green pond. He supposed it was just Verdex punching him…. but then he thought it didn't FEEL like a punch…it felt like a wave of something hit him.
He threw one of his chakrams in anger, and it went in a curved shape. As it's path bent, he saw a flash of something in front of the chakram.
"Huh?" He grabbed his chakram again. He then threw it in the same path as before. True enough, right as it went around the bend, there was the flash of an organization coat in the shape of his weapon. He smirked.
"Ohhh. I get it." He grabbed his weapon once again, and was about to char the whole damned room, but he was suddenly wrapped in something, forcing him to drop his weapons. He struggled, and looked down. He saw nothing where his body should have been, just green, green, green….hey wait…
"The Verdant Composer… I should have known. Power over the color green. I thought it was just invisibility, and it didn't like fire. No….it's the color green ." Axel concentrated for a moment, and a burst of flames spread around his body, scorching the grass around him, causing what was holding him to let go. He grabbed his weapon, and sent waves of flames around the whole room, burning the grass, evaporating the pond, smoking up the sky. And there, clapping his hands slowly, was Verdex.
"So, you figured it-"
"AXEL!" Xemnas's voice was heard, causing them both to freeze, and turn towards the door. They expected him to be charred as well, but no. He was staring at Axel's chakrams.
"MAH HUBCAPS!"
"Eheheh, sorry, Greeny, I'ma have to take a rain check on this battle.." Axel made a fake salute, and disappeared into the Darkness. Xemnas did the same.
….
Verdex looked around at the charred wasteland, and sighed. "What a waste."
He then began working to fix his gard—field. Not Garden. He isn't Marluxia, after all.
