(AN: Auughh, this is a long one...well here you go, chapter 2 to my "wonderful|" series!)
Roxas leaped high over logs and bushes, bashing through wandering heartless in his way. He looked back and saw Demyx struggling behind him, whacking heartless with his enormous sitar. He looked ahead and stopped at a fork in the road. Demyx finally caught up to him, panting heavily.
"Where do we go now?" Demyx asked, still huffing from the intense run. Roxas stood silent, until he heard another yell from the woods coming from the right path. He looked up and saw the energy bolt from Xigbar's snipers shooting into the nights sky.
"I would guess this way." Roxas declared and rushed on. Demyx groaned and hurriedly followed him. They ran a short ways until they stopped at what appeared to be a circle of trees, the moon shot down gloomily upon Xigbar and his attacker. "Oh my goodness...." Demyx looked in fear and awe at the being before him. "It's a werewolf....nobody-thing!!"
Xigbar shot at the beast from a nearby tree. "It bit me god dammit!" Xigbar yelped again in fear as the beast lunged for him, just missing his coat. It stood on two legs, with a sleek white tail and body. It had a muscular werewolf like figure, and a head that looked like a combination between a Dusk and a wolf, with the signature zipper-mouth. It had the Nobody emblem embroidered on its chest, and then howled again as it lunged at Xigbar once more. He was reloading at the time and was totally defenseless. Just then, Roxas leaped into the air and slammed his keys into the beast's back. It fell down to its feet, and charged at not Roxas, but Demyx. "Take this, you lil' annoying bitch!" and Demyx hurled his sitar at the wolf just as it was in the air. The heavy instrument sent the monster flying back, slamming its back against a tree. The werewolf slid down, unmoving beneath the tree shrouded by moonlight. "It's only knocked out." Roxas said cautiously. "Let's get out of here.." And opened a portal back to the castle. Xigbar gathered up the lost sticks he had dropped when the Nobody attacked him, and rushed into the darkness and into the safety of the portal. Demyx followed, and finally Roxas. Unfortunately, Roxas forgot to shut the portal, and the beast was just beginning to regain consciousness...
--Back At The Castle--
Vex, Lex and Zex just finished all of their hard work with the cooking and desserts. Marly just completed the very last design on the last banner to put in the main hall, and Xemnas was done with his rants. It seemed everything was now at peace, and the castle grew silent. That is of course, until Xigbar, Demyx, and Roxas came back.
"Dear God it's alive! The damn thing BIT me!" Xigbar claimed as he clung to Saix's coat, who pushed him back onto the couch in the living room. "What are you babbling about?" Saix snarled, his eyes flashed with suspicion. "Dude, there's this THING out there! No lie! It's all like, big and stuff! And was gonna eat Xigbar!" Demyx looked horrified, but Saix still kept his cool. "You know, you guys aren't exactly the most trustworthy bunch. And you haven't really given us a reason to trust you, especially with a story like that and with your reputation, but mainly you Xigbar." He looked at Number II, who in return flinched in fear, still in shock from the incident. "We're not kidding you here, Saix!" Roxas's tone sounded serious, trying to make himself sound as mature as possible. "There was a nobody-but it wasn't just ANY nobody. This thing looked like a werewolf, and it even had our emblem on its chest! It HAD to be a nobody! But the question is, who could control it..." Roxas pondered for a few seconds, and then shot a look and Saix. "What nobodies do you control, Saix?"
"None of your damn business, now go bother someone else!" Saix turned from them and walked out, and warped into some random place. "I'm going to get a drink." Xigbar sighed, and entered the kitchen.
He opened the fridge and pulled out a carton of orange juice. Suddenly, he dropped it, juice splattering everywhere. He clutched his arm where the Nobody had bit him and screamed in pain. The one eye he could see out of was beginning to get blurry, until he blacked out and fell to the floor.
"RAAAAAUUGHH!" a vicious roar came from the kitchen, and Luxord could hear from all the way in his room. "What the bloody hell was that?" Luxord thought to himself, and began to walk to the kitchen to investigate, but then froze at the door for a moment. "It's probably just Axel or Xigbar playing some ridiculous Halloween prank... and the daft pansies think I'll fall for it!" He chuckled to himself, thinking as if he outsmarted some type of mastermind like "Axel" or "Xigbar." He pushed open the door, his eyes closed in triumph. Stupid Axel, you couldn't fool me with your stupid nois-BLOPDY HELL WHAT IS THAT?!" Luxord spotted a giant wolf-like Nobody hanging on the chandelier in the kitchen, with and eye patch over its left eye and a scar on its cheek. "Oh my Lord...you ate Xigbar!" The beast saw Luxord at the door and lunged from the ceiling. Luxord hastilr shut the door in his face and dashed out of the kitchen, his arm flailing in the air like Axel's were when he flipped out at Roxas. "THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE KITCHEN AND IT ATE XIGBAR!!" Luxord frantically fled throughout the hall of the castle screaming this numerous times until Xemnas stopped him on the 12 floor of his enormous domain. "Is this some part of a bet you lost, Luxord?" Xemnas asked monotonically. "There's this wold-thing messing up the kitchen on the 4th floor-and it ATE Xig!"
"Luxord, I'm sure it's just a prank or something.."
"No dude its the real deal! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Yeah, sure." Xemnas looked away for a second, and shuttered as he heard a crash from the 6th floor.
"I'm sorry Luxord, I have business to attend to. Goodbye." and Xemnas strolled down the stairs to the second floor.
"It as real...and I'll prove it!" and Luxord gave a smile, and came up with an idea.
--Luxord's Plan--
Luxord's plan was simple: capture the monster.
The problem: how?
Luxord paced frequently back and forth in his room. He talked to himself, then shaking his head hastily. "I got it!" Luxord thought aloud. "I'll need a tank, four rubber ducks, and a pair of Larxene's underpants!" He stopped and turned to see Xaldin and Lexaeus by the door.
"We know what happened to Xigbar." Xaldin exclaimed, huffing loudly. "Come on down to Vexen's lab for a little bit." and he opened a portal which lead to Vexen's Nerd Domain.
--Down at the Nerd Domain--
Vexen had a white lab coat on over his usual black attire, with goggles and test tubes filled with a green mixture in his white-gloved hands. Roxas, Demyx, Axel, and just about everyone else was down in the lab, all crowded around the center. And in the center was a gargantuan beast chain to a table by dark energy. It tried to lunge up and attack Vexen, who in return remained still and expressionless. It layed back down on the table, breathing heavily.
"I think I have just the thing that will cure our friend here." Vexen said as he held up one of the tubes into the light, examining it thoroughly. He then walked over to the beast, and inserted the liquid into a needle, which he injected into Xigbar. He growled in pain, and apparently fell asleep. Vexen put the tube back and washed his hands in a sink. Zexion approached Vexen and grabbed his shoulder.
"What exactly did you just put into Number II?" Zexion asked.
"I just injected him with that stuff I made earlier in the cauldron. Turns out I made a recipe for an anti werewolf vaccine, not green apple cider.. " Vexen shrugged and began examining Xigbar large fangs, now with a new pair of gloves on.
"How did you bloody pansies get to him before I did?" Luxord complained.
"Simple: we used Demyx as bait. Werewolves can smell fear." Vexen replied.
"Now, how exactly did this happen?" Vexen asked, and looked to the crowd, and Roxas and demyx stepped forward.
"You know how Xemnas sent him to go out and look for wood? Well when he went out, a thing that looked just like how Xigbar is attacked him, and he got bit. Me and Roxas had to fight it off." Demyx tried to sound tough, which utterly failed. Larxene stepped forward with a question. "How long is Xigbar gonna be all creepyish? We might need him later."
"Well the vaccine should be kicking in right about...now." Vexen gestured to Xigbar, who's form had already begun to change. The monstrous body was now getting smaller, and his skin regaining its color again. His body basically just shrunk and formed until he was normal again, and awakened from his sleep. Ugh...what happened...where's my orange juice?" Xigbar looked around, completely confused and unaware of what happened.
"You became a werewolf and tried to eat Luxord." Axel answered with a grin.
"Well am I okay?" Xigbar asked as he checked himself to see if he was his whole self again.
"Oh I'm fine thanks." Luxord pointed out. "I'm just totally scarred because I am now in fron of a NAKED XIGBAR." Everyone had just left the Domain, except for Zexion who was vomiting in the corner. As for Xigbar, he was running up the stairs in nothing but a towel that Vexen put on him, and once again, forgot he could just warp to his room. Silly Xigbar.
(AN: I might be able to squeeze in one or two more chapters in, three tops. Hope you're all enjoying the story so far :D)
