Disclaimer: So finally my friend finished the scene she was writing. Which is a torture scene between Axel and Xemnas…it will make sense. But for those of you that do not like violence since the scene is kind of intense I will mark the beginning and end of it. However I do recommend you read it since it is important to the story. Though some people do like to see there favorite characters harmed brutally. I understand.
Oh on another note there are some adult words (cussing) in this chapter…just a warning for you people.
Since this chapter was a long wait I decided to post 2 new chapters for my readers. Though the 6th chapter isn't too long, but I prefer not to write long chapters, just long stories xD. Now enjoy and please Review.
Axel awoke with a start. Leaping into a sitting up position, he glared at he bed covers, lost in his thoughts, 'He is using him…he is, I can't believe it. How could I be so naïve? All of them, they just pretended, pretended to...to...be nice to the boy. Only seeing him as a tool, knowing he will obtain their hearts. No one cares. It's all false' he fumed inside his head, "Damn this Organization!" he yelled summoning one of his chakra to his hand in a combination of fire and darkness, and then flung his weapon into a nearby wall. He then jumped off the bed landing on the floor with a thud. He threw his cloak on and boots, tying them loosely, "I need to talk to Xemnas, tell him to stop this nonsense." Axel growled to himself. Opening the door he slammed it behind him, summoning his chakra back before he had.
As he stormed down the halls, his anger blinded him as to where he was actually going. All he could thing think about was how an innocent being, could be manipulated into thinking the superior was a kind man, into trusting him. However not just Roxas was manipulated, all the members of the Organization, when they had joined, went through the same thing, trusting the Superior just because he gave a nice smile at them. Even if that smile was false, hiding the true thoughts and feelings and it wasn't the superior that played the false act all the members did, learning from their caretaker. Though all the members had there own opinion on things they were brain washed to think otherwise and not speak out. Axel knew this had to stop; someone had to tell the superior to stop driving everyone into a false sense of security, stop using his employees, especially to stop abusing Roxas's trust.
He stopped and yelled to the skies, frustrated, and in his furry had forgotten where the Superior was located. He had known just a moment ago, but it had slipped his mind. Luckily for him another member was walking down the halls in Axel's time of need, a certain blonde haired and teal eyed nobody as a matter of fact. Even as Demyx strolled by, noticing Axel, he could see the fire burning in his eyes. Yet he still wanted to know what was bothering her dear friend, "Axel, why are you so mad, it makes no sense for you to be mad. After all we can't feel-"
Axel growled glaring at Demyx, grabbing his friend by the torso of his cloak and pinning him up against a wall, "Well apparently I'm mad…so I don't give a fuck about Nobodies not being able to feel" he barked his eyes blazing with anger.
Demyx frowned, fearing his life, Axel could get quite violent when angered, and Demyx didn't want to be his punching bag, "Okay…you…can…feel, but Axel…why are you mad?" he asked.
Axel, noticing the fear in Demyx's voice gave a sigh, "Why…is not important…Demyx. Where is Xemnas…I need to speak with him" Axel responded in a calmer tone, now trying to calm himself down a little as not to scare off Demyx.
Demyx frowned, "Axel I don't think you should see the Superior…when you're mad…I mean you don't like him and-"
"Don't tell me what I already know!" Axel yelled, as he flung Demyx to the ground, and walked off realizing he would have to find the Superior on his own.
He figured his best bet would be to head to the Superior's quarters. Since the white haired man tended to spend quite a lot of time in his room, plotting and thinking about how to obtain hearts, for his brainwashed specimens. Once had had arrived at the superior's door he flung the door open, not even having the slightest respect for older mans privacy.
"Xemnas how could you!?!?" Axel yelled as he slammed a fist into the open door.
Xemnas turned around in his chair as he set a book down on his desk, which he had been reading before Axel had interrupted. Looking up he gave a slight glare at Axel "Yes what would you like…to tell me…Axel?" he inquired in a mono tone, that seemed to give a warning to the tempered Nobody.
"How can you do that…those…other…worthless members….how can you let them treat him like that. He is a innocent…Nobody, still learning about this world and you allow with those other piles of shit betray his friendship and he trust…you use him as a tool, as do they. How dare you" Axel ranted, down casting his eyes in anger and sadness.
"Excuse me Axel; Roxas will be used as long as I am in Charge. I am allowed to treat him how I want, and you shall accept that. As for the other members, and the way they treat him…that….is…there own decision…accept that as well." He responded forcefully yet kept a calm tone to his voice.
"It's not fair. Roxas shouldn't be treated like a tool…like crap. He is a good kid. If they can just get to know him they will see-"
"Axel! Since when is a Nobodies like fair," Xemnas cut in, "And why should you be concerned…you have no feelings, these things shouldn't bother you…stick to your own business."
"No! I don't believe you. If Nobodies can't feel, then why do I get angry, why do I feel things I shouldn't. Demyx also feels, just like me, you're lying Xemnas, hiding something from all of us, I-"
"Axel! Silence yourself! You are speaking nonsense, be gone this conversation is finished." he stated however Axel wasn't finished yet.
"He is a person, just like you or me! You can't use him like this!"
"Correction," Xemnas cut in coldly, and Axel stopped, glaring at him, "He's a Nobody. He is not a person he's a tool. And therefore, I can use him anyway I wish"
Axel's hand shook furiously as Xemnas turned away, obviously considering the conversation to be finished. In his rage, Axel reached out a hand, a swirl of darkness bringing forth his chakra. With an angry snarl, he tossed it, fire blazing around the sharp points. Xemnas stopped and time seemed to pause as a sudden spark of regret came up within Axel. He had nothing to stop what he had done, and the chakra whirled past Xemnas, gashing his face, and wedging itself into the wall.
Dreaded silence filled the whole room, and Axel's regret turned into fear. He was unable to move, frozen in place. Xemnas' hand quivered slightly before clenching into a fist. Regaining his senses, Axel ran for the door, desperate to escape. He was stopped. Hand flinching back as his chakra hit the door with a loud cracking noise, the door splintering around it. Panicking Axel spun back around and Xemnas was in his face, a look of rage glowing in the golden rod eyes.
Start of Torture scene or Axel being beaten up scene. Skip down to the marked end if you do not wish to read.
"I would think you'd have known not to defy me." Xemnas hissed gripping tightly onto Axel's arm. With a strong amount of force, he flung the red-haired man against an opposite wall. Axel then felt a sharp blow between his shoulders. Wincing, he began to sink to the floor, but was held up still by Xemnas' gloved hand on his neck. Lifting Axel up, he tossed him again, going into a rage. Axel was hit by a flurry of blows before landing face first on the floor. As he tried to push himself up, he was stopped by a sharp stabbing pain in his right shoulder. Weakly, he moved his head to the side and felt sick as he saw the glowing red saber penetrated through him. He screamed in pain as the same thing happened to his left shoulder. He heard Xemnas walk up beside him, the steady click of his shoes echoing forebodingly.
"Must I teach you what happens to those who defy me?" Xemnas' voice was low, and dark. He quickly removed his weapon from Axel, causing Axel's body to jerk as he let out a pained groan. Xemnas held him up, removing his coat and throwing it to the side. Holding Axel up with one hand, Xemnas used the other hand to remove Axel's shoes, then pants, stripping the Nobody down to nothing but his boxers. Axel shivered, more from the fear than the cold. Once Xemnas released him, he curled up tightly. His body buckled over from a sudden blow of Xemnas' saber against his back. Axel let out a pained gasp, chocked back by another blow.
"I'm sorry!" he cried out desperately, between blows, "I'm sorry! Please, God, stop!" There was a pause, and Xemnas leaned over Axel's whipped body, as Axel fell over. His eyes glinted with malice, blood thirst, and he spoke in a slow, deliberate tone.
"You beg to God for mercy? What use will that have? Nobodies have no God. In here, I am God. And God strikes down those who question his order."
Xemnas pulled Axel up quickly to his feet, and Axel felt dizzy, head spinning from the pain. He nearly blacked out, senses fading into nothing. He was jerked back into awareness, however, with the feel of stiff leather restraining him, binding his hands.
This felt so familiar. This felt so painfully familiar. Axel's sparkling emerald eyes looked frantically up into Xemnas' of dulled gold. There was a glint, a dangerously intimate spark between them. Xemnas smiled knowingly, with a look of one who basked in the darkness of the secret.
"That's right," he crooned, leering closer to Axel, causing the man to flinch. "You remember this, don't you? You see, I believed that you had learned the lesson that night. Apparently, I was wrong"
Pulling Axel helplessly closer to him, holding him still with an arm snaked behind him. Axel thrashed, crying out meekly for Xemnas to stop. The cries were cut short with a yelp as one of Xemnas' sabers dug into Axel's hip. The red-haired man fell against him, and the other hand sunk lower to the small of Axel's back.
With a deliberate, slow motion, Xemnas dragged the saber down Axel's leg, cutting through the thin fabric of Axel's boxers like a hot knife through butter. Under Axel's screams, he heard the sound of flesh sizzling, burning from the contact.
He stopped and Axel prayed that it be over. But instead Xemnas simply continued on the other side; the hand on Axel's backside holding up the fabric. When Xemnas was done, he let it fall to the floor, leaving Axel bare.
With a grin, Xemnas watched the gentle blush come over Axel's face, uncontrolled. He was panting. He was frightened. Xemnas had him cornered.
"Fall to your master!" he hissed menacingly, letting go of the other man, and pulling away. With no support, Axel fell onto his face, bound hands working uselessly to free themselves. Coldly Xemnas kicked him onto his back and got on top of him, pinning him down. Hands were on Axel's shoulders, and legs were straddling his hips. There was no point in it; Axel didn't have any fight left in him. But that didn't matter to Xemnas. Sitting back on Axel, a cold stare in his eyes, Xemnas brought the weapon down again.
Axel's cries were choked, broken by a quick hiccupping gasps, coming at a rapid pace. The blows refused to cease, one after the other. Axel's skin was breaking, weak under the continued abuse. There was no end to it. There was no rest. There was still no satisfaction to Xemnas' bloodlust.
Finally, silence reigned again. Xemnas still leaned above Axel, eyes squinted in rage, waiting. With a sigh, his eyes slid closed, and he sat back on Axel. His hands dropped to his side and listened.
Axel's whimpers were reduced to naught. The steady plip of blood on the tile filled Xemnas with macabre satisfaction. Releasing his weapon and glove, Xemnas put a hand on the wounds, making Axel give a hitched gasp. The blood flowed over both men's skin. Slowly pulling away, Xemnas wiped his hand off on his coat, and replaced his glove. Getting off of Axel, he unbound his hands, and picked him up, slinging him over his shoulder. His hand caressed Axel's bare skin fondly, and Axel flinched. Smirking Xemnas left the room.
End of the Axel being beaten or aka the Torture scene. –Breathes- That was intense to type.
The halls were empty, and quiet. Xemnas walked through them, slowly towards the meeting room. Xigbar came walking down the hall form the opposite direction. Slowing to a halt, Xigbar stared, mouth hanging open in disbelief. As Xemnas came closer, he blurted out, "What the fuck happened to Axel?"
"Call a meeting. Now," Xemnas replied cooling, not faltering in his walk, "And do not extend the invitation to Number 13." Xemnas passed Xigbar, and heard him disappear into a portal of darkness. Xemnas' march continued.
As soon as Xemnas reached the meeting room, everyone else had already assembled. With a slight, slow strut, Xemnas moved to the center of the room. A heavy thud echoed through the room as Xemnas dropped the man. Axel's blood staining the white floor as he did it was amazing he was still alive. Axel was barely conscious, jerking only slightly from the impact. Standing tall, Xemnas looked round to each member of the Organization, into their eyes. The silence built into anxious curiosity, finally broken as Xemnas looked down to Axel on the floor, and spoke.
"This is for those who dare oppose me," he said, voice sharp and cold as steel, "This is for those who test my patience. This is for those who question my order."
"You see, Axel seemed to have convinced himself that his opinion surpassed me own. That was his first mistake." A pause followed, to allow the statement to sink in. He continued, "His second mistake was in attempting to convince me of the same thing. His mistake was in coming to me with his propositions that could be described as no less then acts of treason."
From the corner of his eye, Xemnas could see Demyx shift uncomfortably in his seat. He turned in Demyx's direction, but did not look directly at him, "It was a mistake that could have been stopped." He added, deliberately. Demyx flinched and Xemnas turned away. He paced round Axel before going on.
"His final mistake was in attacking me." Xemnas stated voice think and trembling with anger. The tension rose in the room, as Xemnas said no more. He came to a halt. Swiftly turning, he kicked Axel in the side. Axel jerked from his nearly unconscious state, letting out a pained scream. Xemnas jerked him back to his feet, presenting him to the other Organization members. Axel shivered, cold and bare, looking down to his feet. Xemnas looked round at everyone else, finally speaking again.
"This is what has become of him. And it's what will become of any others who follow his example." He finished quietly. Again he dropped Axel. Nothing else was said. After a couple moments more of silence Xemnas left the room.
Lying on the cold floor, Axel stared into nothing, listening to the quiet, to afraid to shut his eyes, afraid he might be harmed once more if he even dared to think about resting. Slowly, one by one he could hear each and every member leave. Finally, there was only one left. Axel could not see him, but he knew who it was. A minute more, and Demyx left. Axel curled up, holding tight onto himself, and his eyes involuntarily shut, his mind replaying the horrible images of Xemnas' torture in his head. No one else was left. And to think it all happened just because he felt it was right to stand up for his friend, he prayed Roxas, didn't find him like this…didn't see how much of a fool he had been for thinking Xemnas would go along with his opinion…he probably deserved this pain.
Roxas walked through the empty white halls, wondering where everyone had gone. He had been on his way to check up on Axel. Seeing that the red haired male was absent, he had to search for the other members, hoping they might know where his friend was.
Regret…nothing but regret…was going threw Demyx's head. Xemnas was right he could've stopped Axel's beating…it could have been prevented. He knew that he had to find Roxas, if anyone could make Axel feel better Roxas definitely could. Plus it was a known fact that Roxas and Axel were best friends.
There! A few feet down the hall was the blonde haired teen. Demyx quickened his pace and caught up to Roxas grabbing his arm abruptly, "Roxas…we need to-"
"Hi Demyx…wait what's wrong…and how come no one is around…and where's Axel?" Roxas asked cutting Demyx off.
Demyx frowned regret showing in his eyes, "Well, see there was this…meeting…and well…we just need to go…you have to see Axel…he's not quite himself and it's kind of my fault…in a way…but we just need to go" Demyx finished as he grabbed Roxas' wrist and dragged him towards the meeting room.
Upon entering the room Demyx took a pause in his footsteps causing Roxas to stop. Axel still remained in the middle of the room. All curled up, bleeding, burned and bruised. An absolute mess, he barely even noticed or cared that the two had walked in.
Roxas' eyes grew wide as he saw he friend barely conscious and barely alive, "Axel!" he screamed and ran past Demyx, to Axel's side, falling to his knees, "What happened…who did this…Axel…Axel." He spoke barely above a whisper, as the start of tears formed at the base of his eyes. Merely out of the fear for his dear friend's life did his tears fall. Roxas then reached out a comforting hand, placing it on his friends shoulder. Pulling his hand back immediately as he felt the icy coldness of the other males skin. Teary blue eyes falling to his own hand he saw blood, realizing it was Axel, and that his friend was in dire need of assistance.
Roxas stood up and turned to look at Demyx, out of the corner of his eye, "What happened? This really couldn't be your fault could it you wouldn't harm Axel?" he asked barely above a whisper his voice wet from his tears.
Demyx shook his head, "I could've prevented it…but I'm not allowed to say what happened. It's not my story to tell" he replied looking to Axel with sorrow filled eyes as well.
Roxas gave a sigh, wiping away a few stray tears that had fallen down his cheeks, "He needs to be tended to…hopefully he will live…could you help me carry him" he asked in that quiet tone once more.
Demyx gave a nod and walked over to Axel and very gently picked him up, supporting his legs and back with his two arms. Axel flinched once touched, still traumatized, the fear of being struck down to evident in his mind.
Screams echoed through Roxas' room that night. His wounds had been bandaged and attended to. Plus to shield him from the cold he had been wrapped in multiple blankets to try and prevent pneumonia, since he had been shivering uncontrollably from the cold when they found him. Next to Roxas' beside he was placed in a makeshift bed of covers and an air mattress, so that the blonde Nobody could keep and eye on him.
Sadly Axel had been tossing and turning, and screaming bloody murder, throughout the whole night. Roxas awoke with a start, Axel's screams waking him from his slumber, "Axel" he ground gently reaching down to the makeshift bed to nudge Axel. Axel immediately turned and latched onto Roxas's arm, clinging tightly that he accidentally pulled the blonde boy out of his own bed and down into his.
All he could manage was a grunt as he fell down next to Axel. Arms latched around Roxas' middle, as fingernails dug into Roxas' bare back. Axel was clinging to him in his sleep.
Roxas winced at this, but realized Axel was having a bad dream and needed something to cling too. Roxas let out a sigh and gently rubbed Axel's back in an attempt to sooth him. In response Axel stopped digging his nails into Roxas' back and began to calm down. Even his screams were soothed to nothing but calmed breathing.
As the two lay, Roxas wondered what had happened to Axel, which had reduced him to screaming bloody murder and clinging for dear life. When he and Demyx had brought Axel to his room, Roxas had begged him to explain, but Axel didn't respond possibly too traumatized and in pain to speak, hopefully he would talk in the morning. Though for now he needed to try and get some rest after all they both needed it.
Next chapter will have a bit more Axel and Roxas in it, though not so much Akuroku, a lovers spat. Anyway PLEASE REVIEW I know I ask you to a lot, because I love it when you do. Oh and thank you Lady Necromancer for your wonderful intense torture scence.
