Chapter 16
Axel started heading towards the door to the cell, with Roxas in his arm when he stopped. There, in the doorway, stood Xemnas.
"Ahh Axel. Good to see you found your little pet." Xemnas drawled.
Roxas glared and began to protest but Axel tightened his hold on him and he fell silent.
"Xemnas, you'll never get what you want, I won't let you use us to create hearts for yourselves." Axel tried to pull up a portal of darkness only to find that he couldn't.
Walking towards Axel and Roxas, Xemnas began to speak once more.
"Oh, you won't be able to escape. We've created a machine that prevents the darkness from responding to us while it's running." Axel looked up and saw Saix standing next to Xemnas now, holding a small device. Axel took a step forward, towards Xemnas and Saix and then stopped.
"You will never stop me. You captured Roxas, you hurt him, and now it's time to pay, got it memorized?" He smirked before setting the entire room on fire. The funny smell from before had been gas, and it ignited instantly once Axel let the control of his fire go. Xemnas' face grew dark.
"Demyx!" He called. "Put these flames out at once!"
Axel saw Demyx step forward, his hands devoid of his sitar.
"Sorry Xemnas, you picked the wrong man for the job."
Axel grinned and he started walking through the flames. Roxas watched as the flames would part around them so that he wouldn't get burned. Xemnas was screaming now, his trench coat on fire along with his hair. This just make Axel smile more.
"Never cross me again Xemnas." He said as he passed him, walking out of the room. He passed Saix.
"Hey Roxas," He said looking down. "Grab that machine would ya?"
Roxas reached out and grabbed the machine from the writhing Saix's hands. He then proceeded to turn the device off. Axel looked at Demyx, gave him a grin and portaled away, back to the entrance hall of the castle.

In the hallway was the rest of the Organization. Axel glared at the all suspiciously as he waited for Demyx to return from the dungeons. Larxene took a step forward.
"What do you think you're doing? If you two leave the picture all the rest of us can have hearts! How can you be so selfish!?" She snarled at them.
Roxas looked downcast when he heard this, but Axel held firm.
"We want hearts too, but we would never ask any of you to sacrifice yourself so that we could gain hearts. I don't know what the matter with all of you is, but we don't want to be a part of it," He said with finality.
Larxene just glared at him but said nothing. Then Demyx finally showed up.
"Sorry Axel, but watching the Superior get 3rd degree burns is quite amusing," He grinned at them, then looked around to see the rest of the organization staring at him in shock, except for Zexion. He shrugged the pulled up a portal of darkness.
"Come on Axel, Roxas, let's go."
Then he stepped into the portal and it disappeared. Axel pulled up a portal as well and stepped through it, still holding Roxas in his arms.

A/N: Alright, now, I have a chance to make this Zemyx as well, and if I get a whole bunch of reviews requesting that, I'll add that pairing, but otherwise it's staying AkuRoku. So tell me what you think, whether ya'll want Zemyx added in here or not, and what you think of the story of course! Btw…the faster you review, the faster the next chappie gets up, cause I can't go on to the next chapter without knowing if I'm adding this pairing so…make sure everybody reviews! ;)
