Chapter Twenty-Four: The Escape

Ixi: I need to get my Halloween streak over with, soooooooo..I CAN DO A CHRISTMAS ONE!

Star Wars nut: Uh…yeah. –sweatdrop-

Ixi: -cheesy grin-

Axel: Hm…..A Christmas special? Am I going to be in it?

Ixi: Why do you ask?

Axel: It seems that I was the over-all threat of this story at first, but now it seems that Hellax pushed me aside.

Ixi: Cry-baby…

"Betrayal?" I asked Demyx.

He nodded.

I gave a questioning look.

"I helped you and your friends out…she got really mad. The next thing I knew, everything around me changed…"

I sighed. "Well, no matter. We need to find a way out of here…SOON!"

Meanwhile
"WHERE IS SHE!?" Kody yelled.

"I DON'T KNOW!" Stephanie yelled back.

"We've looked everywhere!" Alyssa said.

"We have to find her!" Riku said getting up. Both Kairi and Sora nodded.

Kody fell to her knees…"Cynthia…"

I started to slither in every direction, but, I couldn't find my way out. It was basically, useless. I sighed. But then, Hellax came out of the shadows.

"I'll make you a deal," Hellax said sternly. I jumped a little before answering.

"I'm listening,"

"I'll let you out of here, but, you won't go back to your friends."

"Where will I go?"

"Home. I'm going to send you back. With your mom and your sister. You'll live a happy life, and you will forget everything that happened to you. "

I thought for one second. Anyplace is better than here, but…" I get to be human again right? With my eyes?"

"yes."

"Then…deal" I answered hesitantly. The next thing I knew I was lying in bed. I closed my eyes, Nothing happened, nothing happened, nothing happened." I thought to myself. Then I opened my eyes. It felt as if everything that just happened in my life, was a dream, but I knew it wasn't. Or was it? I needed to clear my mind, so I walked downstairs.

"Hey Arlene," I greeted my sister, who was at the table, "Where's mom?"

"Oh, she's at the store," she replied.

I grabbed a can of coke, and sat next to my sister. She just stared at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You shouldn't have made that deal."

"Huh?"

"Think about your friends, think about Michelle."

"Excuse me!?"

"Don't pretend like you know nothing."

I gasped. It had to of happened, it wasn't just a dream.

"I might hate Sora," she continued, "But I loathe Hellax,"

"Y-Your part of Organization XIII aren't you?"

She nodded, "But, I don't want to be. I remember, during my first chance as a nobody, I betrayed the organization."

"First chance?"

"Well, you see, everybody in the organization got a second chance. So they wouldn't make the same mistake again. Unfortunately, some people don't remember their first chance."

"Like Axel?"

"Exactly."

I nodded, and was starting to understand.

"Now Cynthia, I'm willing to help you…get RID of Hellax,"

"How are we supposed to get back?"

Arlene smirked. She snapped her fingers and 'SHABLAM' we were in Castle Oblivion. She started to walk ahead.

"WAIT!" I yelled.

She looked back, "Huh? Oh yeah!" she said while tossing me an organization outfit she pulled out of nowhere.

"Helpful, but that's not what I was going to say. What I was going to say was that this would be MUCH easier with Sora's and the other's help."

"Hm…Your right," Arlene said as I was slipping on the outfit. She made a portal and took me through it. While we were walking in the betwixt and between, Arlene started to talk.

"Cynthia."

"Hm?"

"From now on, you have to call me Larxene."

I nodded and continued to walk. Finally we saw a portal open, indicating that's where we walk to. I was finally back on the gummi ship.

"SORA!" Larxene yelled. Everyone came running from the back.

"ORGANIZATION XIII!" he exclaimed and summoned his keyblade.

I put my hood down to show Sora it was really me, but, he got even more worried, "YOU'VE SIDED WITH XEMNAS!"

I face palmed myself, and explained to Sora how it was a disguise and how Larxene was my sister, AND how we were going to finish off Hellax once and for all.

"Well then...I'M IN!" Sora yelled.

Ixi: The next chapter: The FINAL BATTLE! Who will win? Who will lose? What will happen? The next chapter WILL be the final chapter to this story. (And it's going to be VERY long..so be prepared.)
