And suddenly. Vexen gets off his butt and attempts to do something.

Pandemonium Ensues
Chapter 8
A Plan of Pain
(XemnasSaix, AkuRoku, hints of VexenMarluxia)
"So, Vexen," Larxene said, looking at the scientist. "Ready to tell us how we're going to fix this?"
Vexen, more than slightly singed, nodded. "Of course I am. It's quite simple really." He paused to rub at a bleeding spot on his forehead. "I need the bottle from the potions Demyx stole and a piece of the cake he poisoned."
Larxene nodded. "Right. Ah..." She hesitated, looking around the room. "Roxas. Go get Demyx and Marluxia. Now."
Roxas nodded and wasted no time in teleporting himself away from Zexion and up to Demyx's room. As soon as he left, Xaldin summoned one spear and lazily stabbed it into Zexion.
"Hey, now," Xigbar said. "No killin the gay members."
Xaldin shot him a look that clearly read 'shut up or you die', which earned him a smirk in return.
Which, in turn, earned both of them a shock.
"No fighting in my meeting," Larxene snapped. "No moving from this room until Roxas gets back with the other two. Then you're free to roam."
"Ah," Vexen said, straightening up in his chair. "What I have to do to fix the members will require one. And it will hurt."
Larxene raised an eyebrow.
"Well, Zexion is already in this room," Luxord said thoughtfully, looking over to where Xaldin was currently trying to shake the tactician off the end of his spear. "Why not him?"
Vexen nodded. "He'll do just fine."
And so - the waiting commenced.
Luckily for them, the door slammed open soon afterward.
Or maybe not so luckily.
Saix, looking quite flustered, slammed the door closed and backed into the room, eyeing the door as it opened once more.
"Holy-" Larxene jumped, turning red, and slapped a hand over her eyes. "Oh... Someone throw a cloak on the Superior! Now!"
The room behind her was too shocked, staring blankly at their leader. As Xemnas took one step into the room, a whipped cream bottle came flying through the air and connected with his head.
"Stupid asshole," Axel's voice said. "He used up all of the whipped cream!"
Xemnas turned towards the doorway, and, as he did, Vexen calmly summoned his shield and stood. "So sorry, Superior," he said as he slammed the shield into Xemnas's head, causing the other man to collaspe to the ground.
There was silence for a while.
"Okay..." Larxene said, daring to uncover her eyes. "Now will someone cover him up?"
There was a shuffling as Xigbar stood.

Demyx shrugged as he stared at the ten empty vials on his dresser. "I don't know where to find some of that red velvet cake..." he said to Roxas as Marluxia watched. "Maybe Zexion has some. He did bake it."
Roxas groaned. "But...Zexion's asleep! And having weird dreams..."
Demyx blinked, opened his mouth, then decided not to go further into the subject of Zexion's dreams.
"Check the kitchen, idiots," Marluxia said. Roxas and Demyx turned to look at him, then Roxas disappeared. "Honestly... You two never think, do you?"
Demyx frowned. "Shut the hell up, Mar."
Marluxia smirked, and Roxas appeared in front of them, holding a plate that had one piece of red velvet cake sitting on it. "Let's go," he said. "Off to Larxene's meeting." He opened a portal and walked through, Demyx - shoving the vials back into his pockets - followed, dragging Marluxia with him.

"Um..." Roxas blinked, staring at the figure on the floor in front of him. "Why exactly is Xemnas lying in the center of the floor? Covered in what looks like whipped cream?"
"Ah, Superior's bein a fucked up moron," Xigbar said cooly. "That's it. That the cake?"
Roxas nodded, stepped carefully over Xemnas, and handed the cake to Larxene. As soon as he did, he was tackled from behind. "Axel! Get off me!"
Axel only giggled.
"Axel..." Larxene said slowly, setting the slice of cake down beside Vexen. "Get out of this room now, or I'll castrate you."
Axel looked up from where he was gripping Roxas, blinked, and vanished. Roxas sighed and sat up, thanking Larxene.
"Yeah, yeah... All is happy in the fucked up mind of Roxas," Marluxia spat. "What the hell are we doing here?"
"Why, my dear Marly," Vexen spoke up. "You are here to help me figure out to fix several members!"
Marluxia gulped again and shot across the space between him and Larxene, taking place behind her. Demyx threw a look around the room, spotted Xaldin keeping a hold on a very irritable yet exicted Zexion, and dived into the chair between Xigbar and Luxord. Roxas paused, then stood and slowly made his way around the table to where Xaldin was keeping a tight hold on Zexion.
"I'll need those potions vials," Vexen said.
"Oh, yeah," Demyx muttered, rummaging in his cloak pockets and pulling out each vial one by one. "There. All ten."
As Vexen moved forward to pick up the vials, Zexion tried to pull himself away from Xaldin. He whimpered as Xaldin held his arm tighter and fought back a sob. "Let me go," he whined.
Xaldin cocked one eyebrow and looked over at Zexion. "Zexion..."
"Let me go," Zexion repeated.
"Question!" Demyx shouted, shooting his hand into the air and narrowly missing poking Xigbar in the eye. "Why is Zexion still here?"
"He's going to be used to test antidotes," Vexen said, pocketing the empty vials. "So calm down. Besides, what I have to do to test these antidotes will hurt."
Demyx grinned "Yay!"
"Shut up, little dude!" Xigbar yelled.
Demyx shut his mouth, still grinning, and covered his mouth as he giggled.
Across the room, a sob escaped Zexion, attracting a room of odd looks. "No one... No one likes me.." Zexion sobbed, tearing free of Xaldin's grasp and turning to run out of the room. "I hate you all!"
There was a pause of silence. "Hmm," Vexen said, staring after him. "That must be a side effect from the potions."

Heh. Zexy's gone emo. That whole thing spawns from a joke with my friend.
So... Review. Now.
