Chapter 2

Xaldin's Secret

Okay, so Marluxia had to go to his little salon thing for his hair, couldn't prank him. Luckily for Demyx, Roxas, and Axel, Lexaeus was blamed for the whole thing. He wasn't allowed to use the gym for two weeks, so he would probably be off in the Dark City bullying all the Dusks and the other lesser nobodies.

Meanwhile, Demyx and friends were bored. Again, like always.

"What is there to do now, seeing as we can't pick on the idiot, and yesterday, when we tried to help on old Vexen, we got in trouble," Roxas complained, even though that was usually Demyx's job. Roxas was right, they did get in trouble.

"All we did was try to help him out with his experiment! Besides, he only got a teensy tiny burn and it was technically his fault," Axel said with a smirk, which wasn't exactly the truth. Vexen did get burnt all right, but I wouldn't put in such terms as little. More like, his entire left side, not that is was anything more than first-degree sunburn, but Axel was right about it being his entire fault as well. He did want Axel to control the sun heat (a new power Axel pick up) so that he could try out a new type of sun block that could shield out any type of UV rays and keep out heat up to 270 degrees. As usual, his experiment didn't work as he planned, but did something quite unique. After sitting in the sun for six hours, Axel had the sun's rays on Vexen the whole time, his skin turned not red, but a deep green.

Flashback

Xemnas was very mad at the three, seeing as Vexen had said that Axel did it on purpose, and, of course, Vexen being a long friend, won. Their punishments were, Axel lost his fire element for a week, Roxas lost his keyblades for a week and Demyx lost his Sitar for two weeks!

"That's not fair! I just got it back from trying to help Marluxia! And how come they only have one week and I have two!" Demyx complained loudly

"That's because nobody wants to hear you play that damn sitar! It gets very annoying after a while." Xemnas said and pushed the flailing Demyx out. "You two, out!"

End Flashback

So, here they were with no powers, weapons, or instrumental weapons. What better to do than to nose around the castle? Now the only question left was whose room should they raid?

"Well, now whose room should we sneak into? I think we should sneak into Marluxia's; no one has ever been in there with the exception of Marluxia and Xemnas and he isn't home!" said Demyx excitedly.

"You are such a dumb ass Demyx!" Roxas shouted. "Marluxia would probably have some type of trap so if someone tried to get in would get…trapped!" He threw an awkwardly large shoe at his head.

"Ow! That hurt, and why the hell are your feet so goddamn large!" Demyx yelled back throwing the shoe back at Roxas.

"Guys! I just got an idea of whose room to go through!" Axel shouted while pulling Demyx and Roxas apart. "Let's go through Xaldin's room! I heard that he does something illegal in there."

So, with that decided, the trio, led by Axel, made their way down to Xaldin's room to see what he had inside. Roxas thought that it was some type of drugs, as did Demyx, but Axel being the oldest by a few years and having been there longer knew it was something even more secretive and most likely something stupid. As you can guess, he was right.

They were outside of Xaldin's room and they decided, unfairly, that Demyx would have to open the door.

"Why do I have to do it? It wasn't even my idea," he grumbled as he walked forward and grasped the knob.

When Demyx peeked inside, he almost died laughing and the fell on the floor. He couldn't believe it! Xaldin, of all Nobodies!

"What is it, idiot? A entire factory of illegal pot with a bunch of fairies working inside of it," asked Roxas anxiously. Apparently, it wasn't because Demyx could only keep giggling his odd giggle and point to the door.

Axel and Roxas shrugged and looked over at each other as to who should go forth and Axel decided for them. He pushed Roxas over in front of the door and Roxas let out a loud "Hey!" before looking into the room.

What Demyx was laughing at, Roxas couldn't figure out, but what he did see was very weird and didn't seem like Xaldin to it have in his room. There was a large tank with a huge window and it was filled with water. Did he have a pool? Where was Xaldin anyways?

"Hey guys! How do you like the big fishy tank?" came Xaldin's voice from the deck that was on the side of the large tank. He was dripping wet in a wet suit and had a snorkel on top of his head.

"What are you doing with that vat of water? Trying to be Demyx? Ha! Why are you calling it a fish tank?" Axel asked. Well, he did have a point. There were no fish in the water vat.

"Because there are two dolphins in here that I am getting trained of course!" Xaldin stated like they all should have known. Demyx giggled harder, why, this is unknown except to Demyx, and Axel's face dropped. Roxas just stood there and stared absent-mindedly at Xaldin.

"Why do you have dolphins," Roxas slowly said. What could he be doing with dolphins? This was something that was expected out of Demyx. Could he have a wish to train dolphins for an aquarium? Mutate them with help from Vexen.

"Well," he started looking around to make sure no one else heard. "Let's just say that I do some dealing with certain people, I got an offer up for one of them on e-bay for about ten thousand munny, you know." Demyx probably was peeing himself by now. Axel joined in the laughter, but Roxas, despite how weirded out he was by this saw a way to get their powers back. Or...maybe something more. Munny!

"I think we should tell Xemnas, to get our weapons and powers back. Unless you cut us in a slice of your e-bay money. Say about two thousand munny?" he haggled. With all that, they could get lots of anything!

"Never! Attack Shaquanda and Pink Cloud McFluff Fluff!" Xaldin yelled as the two dolphins rose out of the out of the water and screamed, "Kill him!" Both of them were black and had sharp fangs, and quite fast. That day, Roxas learned that he could run, and fast. After being chased around the castle and grounds, he found Axel and Demyx still laughing. "Burn in Hell you two!" he said and then went to his room.

Demyx's lesson: "Never try to haggle with Xaldin or strange things will attempt to kill you."
