(AN: . Here's I nice big, delicious chapter for y'all right here :DI know its like, more than a week past Halloween but I'm gonna finish this dammit...well, there's gonna be one more chapter after this, so stay tuned! :3)

Today was October 30- one day away from the party Marluxia was going to hold on the dance room. He's been very protective of that room lately as well. Demyx tried to get in to use the bathroom earlier, and Marly almost chopped his head off. Since then he's barricaded the doors until tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Axel was hanging out in Roxas's room, trying to once again persuade his best friends not to trick or treat this year.

"Can't you just bring them here?" Axel asked, frantically shaking Roxas until he was dizzy. He regained his balance again, then stood still and replied to his friend. "Axel, I'm not going to say it again, NO!" and Roxas shut the door in Axel's face. Axel face drooped with defeat, and with a sigh returned to his room. He lay on his bed like a lump on a log, his face buried in his pillow, lost in his thoughts.

"Damnit, why is he being so difficult? I mean come on, the kid's like 15, he's too old to be out trick or treating. He should be out partying with US and not, well, being a little kid. Maybe I can convince Sora to convince Namine to convince Roxas to come back to the party....and why the hell can't I get Larx to-" He broke out of his thoughts as his door slammed wide open. Xaldin looked a mess, his lances dangled from his quivering hands. "It's...it's back! I mean, it's here! I mean-never mind.... just get down to the 5th floor in the ball room!!" and Xaldin warped out, probably to the...well..5th floor. And with that, Axel took another big, annoyed sigh, warped out of his room. He entered the ball room in complete astonishment. And the fact that there was ANOTHER one of those werewolf things, this one even larger and more powerful, was only half the reason. The other reason-every single thing that Marluxia had saved over, everything he worked for over the past 2 months, all dead. Tables were broke in half- the huge cake he had baked was smushed into a pile of frosting. But worst of all, was the state of being Marluxia was now in;he didn't fight the monster with the rest of the organization. No, he stood in the corner, a dark cloud rained down over his head. He did not move, and his scythe was on the ground. Axel ran over to him and tried to talk some sense into him.

"Dude are you okay?" Axel put his hand on Number Eleven's shoulder, only to be brushed off.

"My work..all that backbreaking effort...all dead..because of him." Marluxia solemnly looked up and pointed up at the monster, who just thwacked Luxord his the back of its hand, sending him flying.

"I REGRET NOTHIINGGG!" He yelled as he crashed through the window, safely into the pool. The monster growled viciously and continued its onslaught on the members. "Cmon Marly, we need you!" Axel tried shaking his friend out of it, but he just stood there, his head sinking to the ground. "Well Marly, are you just gonna let this demon-seed get away with killing your beautiful, precious roses?" I mean, you spent all that time preparing this awesome party, and you're just gonna let this little bitch take it all away?! HUH?!" Marluxia looked up, a determined new ego spread across his face.

"You're right, this stupid bastard should be on its knees kissing my feet for what it did!

"So you're gonna get out there and whip his ass?!"

"YEAH!"

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU FLOWER BOY!"

"HELLZ YEAH BITCHES!!!" Marly's scythe appeared before him in a huge cloud of pedals of epicness, and charged to confront the monster. It looked exactly like the one Demyx, Roxas and Xigbar had fought before, which it was, only now it was gargantuan. Marluxia stood before it, and gestured for everyone to back off. "Here's what you get for DESTROYING MY BLACK MARIGOLDS YOU LOUSY NO-GOOD-LITTLE-SON OF A-" was all he could say before the beast lashed him up, sending him crashing through the wall. It was dead silent now. Not one person or beast made a move. Suddenly, there was a whirring sound coming from the night sky. As if out of nowhere, I huge green and pink scythe came crashing through the ceiling at lightning speed, digging straight into the beast's head. It howled in pain, and began freeze up in a flinched position. It roared mightily, and with its last breath, set fire to the ball room, and faded into darkness. Everyone was shocked as they looked around, searching for a place to escape the flames. Demyx tried shooting water at fire blocking the door, but it was no use. "How the hell is that even possible?! How did it DO that?!" Zexion said as he dodged a flame that crashed up from the ground. All were frantic, except Axel of course, who made fire angels on the wooden floor on the room. "AXEL! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR-" Larxene snapped for a moment, but then thought for a second. "Axel, do that again!" Larxene asked. "Okay, if you say so.." Axel shrugged and again jumped into the flames. He yelled with joy as the appearance of a snow angel appeared on the floor, with a border of fire around it. "Look! Every time Axel makes one of those stupid angels, the fire clears up where here made it!" Axel began to do more angels, and the rest of the members carefully stepped into each of the flame less area, then stepping over into the next, until they reached the exit, and dashed through the last bit of flames and into the halls, with the entire room collapsing just as Zexion dove out the door, the bottom of his coat caught on fire. He danced around the room, his arms noodle-flailing just as Axel and Luxord before him, trying to pat the flames off of his elaborate cloak. "How cliché, yet convenient." Luxord shrugged as the room was boarded up with debris just as the fire died out. "Well, glad we made it out of-oh my God MARLUXIA!! HE NEVER CAME BACK DOWN!" Axel almost looked ready to burst to tears, but kept his cool. He was completely unaware of the fact that Marly was perfectly fine, and standing over his shoulder waiting to hear what Axel had to say. "My flower buddy sacrificed himself for us! Ohh poor Marly! I'd never make fun of your flowery personality ever again if I could just see you one more time! Why...WHY?!"

"You'll what if you see me again?" Axel turned to see Marluxia standing behind him with his face covered in soot and his hair standing straight up. "MARLY! YOU'RE NOT BURNED TO A CRISP!" Axel bear hugged Marluxia and threw him into the air, causing him to lose his breath. "Yeah break my back why don't you...then I wouldn't be able to plan another party in the OTHER ballroom on the 8th floor..." That only made Axel squeeze him even tighter. "So there's still gonna be a party?! You hear that Roxas? Why don't you bring your buddies down to Marly's sweet shindig?" Axel got on his knees and puppy-pouted Roxas, until he finally gave in. "Yeah yeah, I'll see what I can do..." Roxas pushed Axel away, but he only jumped back up and bear hugged Roxas until his face turned purple. "Oh just for the hell of it, why not!" Axel exclaimed and turned around and hugged Larxene tightly, whirling here around like a chew toy in the jaws of a pit bull. He finally released his grip, and Larxene's face turned as green as Axel's eyes from being swished around so much, but then a dark red, darker than Axel's fire red hair. "Uhhh.....uuhhh... hey look at the time! I'm gonna be late for that umm...thing! K' bye!" Larx stepped back, still blushing and hastily warped out of the hall. Everyone (by everyone I mean everyone except Saix and Xemnas, who can't show any fake emotion at all XP) started giggling, and Axel shrugged and made a "What's so funny?" face. He turned to Marluxia again and bombarded him with questions about the party, all to which he replied, "Shut up Axel, I'm not going to ruin it for everyone."

"Well, it's been one hell of a night...." Lexaeus stated, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"How about we let Marly, Axel & co. start working on that party for tomorrow?" Saix gestured.

"We need a good night's sleep after what happened tonight. Well, I plan to see you all in the morning for a special meeting. Good night." and Saix and the other faded into portals of darkness, returning to their rooms, leaving Marluxia, Axel, Roxas, Demyx, and Xigbar alone in the hall.

"Roxas, you go get Sora and the others and convince them to come tomorrow k?" Demyx ordered, to which Roxas nodded and faded into a portal of his own. Everyone else warped into the ball room, and Marluxia had already conveniently had all the materials ready for the party, all laid out neatly in the center of the room. "Good thing I bought extra supplies, just in case." Marluxia said as he walked over to set up a few tables. Xigbar and Demyx, you guys are in charge of setting this place up. I'll go get Vexen and Zexion because they know how to bake, and Axel, you just...don't touch anything." Axel laughed a bit, and then brought Marly away from where Demyx and Xigbar could hear them. "Hey, can I ask you for a favor?" Axel whispered. "You're good friends with Larxene, right?"

"Yeah....where are you going with this?" Marluxia looked confused, but figured where it actually was going.

"Well, you think you could...well...i don't know..ask her if she likes me or something? Maybe bring me up in a conversation?"

"Let me guess....you wanna ask her to the dance tomorrow night?" Marly looked up at Number 8, who turned red in response.

"Uhhh...yeah..I...do...but shut up! I don't want anyone to know!" Axel put his hand over Marluxia's mouth, who ripped it off in a split second.

"Yeah yeah, I won't tell....I'll talk to her and get back to you on tomorrow." Marluxia smiled at his friend, and Axel leaped with pure fake-Nobody-joy.

"Thanks I owe you one!.....Blue 42..set hut...BREAK!" Axel jumped up from the huddled position that he and Marluxia was in and pretended to be in a football game, leaping with pure excitement.

"Not so fast pyro...Axel stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face Marluxia.

"You still need to help fix up the dance hall for the party." and just then Roxas reappeared, an eager look on his face.

"Hey good news people! Sora and the gang said they'll come tomorrow! Oh yeah and Demyx I don't know how to say this, but...our haunted house is completely destroyed..." Demyx looked up from placing plastic cups on the table, and scrambled out onto the balcony and gazed outside, only to scream in absolute horror. "IT'S COMPLETELY SMUSHED! The werewolf must have done that!" Demyx walked back and continued his chore, frustrated now. "If that thing was still alive, I'd give it another whack with Big Blue again, this time right to the head!" Demyx finished his job and began to set up cobwebs quickly on the wall as Xigbar put up Halloween banners up across the walls. Suddenly Zexion and Vexen burst out from the kitchen doors, carefully balancing an enormous black and orange frosted vanilla cake on a platter, until hastily placing it on the table, panting out of breath. "That was fast.." Marluxia said cheerfully. And within a matter of a few more hours, and dance hall looked even better than the one before it. Everything was placed perfectly, and Marluxia's expert décor was completely remastered into his own new design, and dropped a dark disco ball above the ceiling.

"Whew, well, we're finally done..." Marluxia panted as he wiped a sweat drop off of his forehead. He turned to see the rest of the team of hard workers, just as tired. "Well, we better get some sleep.." Zexion said while yawning. "I'm sure we'll all need it."

"I second that.." replied Xigbar, who slumped in a chair, ready to doze off. They all said "Good night buddy" to each other, and finally warped out into their rooms and got ready for bed.

The lights were off now, and the dance hall was as dead silent as the halls. Suddenly, a beam of darkness rose from out on the balcony, and a shield of darkness clouded a mysterious figure. He rose up slowly, and spread his arms out to reveal a darkened wing that resided on his right shoulder, his silver hair gleamed in the ghostly moonlight.

"If it's a Halloween to remember they want...." the figure stood up and clutched his enormous blade in its sheath.

"Then so shall it be....and Cloud won't be able to track me down this time...."
