Pandemonium Ensues
Chapter 12
Ready to Douse
(hints of SaixAxel, Akuroku, VexenMarluxia, hints of Zemyx)
Throughout the castle, the Superior's screams of pain echoed, causing every being there to stop what they were doing. After a while, the screams lowered in volume, then ceased completely. The Nobodies shrugged it off and continued whatever they had been doing previously.
Larxene and Xigbar, still searching out Zexion, exchanged a look and headed for the main hallway - located near all of their rooms - and watched as the other members of the Organization bolted out.
Demyx, Roxas, Luxord, Marluxia and Namine' came from the left. Saix's door slammed opened suddenly, revealing the berserker standing calmly, his cloak halfway unzipped. Clearly visible on his bed was a struggling Axel, pulling at what looked like fire-proof ropes tying him down - what else could they be, with fire roaring all around the pyro and not one strand of the ropes breaking.
In a few seconds, Lexaeus and Xaldin joined them, leaving only Zexion nowhere to be found.
Larxene cursed.
- - - - -
Zexion, it seemed, had cried himself to sleep, and about four Nobodies stood around him, poking various parts of his body in slight interest.
- - - - -
"What the hell was that?" Xaldin asked.
"Must've been what Vexen meant when he said whatever he was doing would hurt," Xigbar said.
"I never knew the Superior could scream like that..." Roxas muttered in slight amusement.
Marluxia snickered, and beside him, Demyx pouted. "I still haven't got that image out of my head," he whined.
All eyes turned to Namine' who sighed and started back the way she had come. "I'll get started on it," she said as she disappeared.
After a few seconds, everyone turned to look at Larxene. She sighed in frustration. "Fine. We'll go see what progress Vexen has made," she growled, opening a portal and stepping through.The others, without missing a beat, trooped in after her.
The only one who said anything was Axel, last to leap off Saix's bed as the ropes finally burned away. "...I don't understand why we're following Larx around..." he murmured to himself, leaping - shirtless - into the portal before it vanished.
- - - - -
Vexen merely sighed as the rest of the Organization spilled into his lab and occupied various places. "I don't know if it worked yet," he said, his eyes searching for Marluxia (who was currently shielding himself behind Lexaeus). "Superior hasn't yet awoken."
"You mean he's asleep?" Demyx asked in confusion.
"No," Vexen said. "He hit his head against the table and knocked himself out."
There was silence for a while.
"Does he have any pants on?" Saix asked suddenly.
Vexen shook his head. "I'm not touching the Superior's privates!" he barked as Saix looked thoroughly revolted.
From behind the scientist, there came the calm, yet obviously angry voice of Xemnas. "Vexen... Why am I naked?"
Another silence, as Vexen whirled around while backing up, keeping his eyes on Xemnas's face. "Well, you see-" he started.
"It's all Demyx's fault!" Marluxia yelled, drawing all attention to him. He shivered, disgusted, as Vexen's eyes caught him, but ignored it. "That idiot of a Nobody put some kind of fucked up potion into the cakes Zexion made," he said to Xemnas. "In doing so, he made nearly half of our members turn gay."
Xemnas paused and raised an eyebrow. "...Gay...?" he repeated, staring at a very frightened looking Demyx.
Demyx grinned nervously and looked around the room where members were switching between staring at him or trying to escape the clutches of those who were after him. "I...uh..." He paused. "Do you feel anything for Saix?" he asked, pointing at the berserker.
Xemnas looked shocked for a brief moment before his obvious anger returned and he glared forcefully at Demyx. "Bring me some clothes, now," he ordered.
Demyx nodded, vanishing on the spot.
Xemnas's eyes turned to Vexen, who wrenched his own gaze from somewhere around the area of Marluxia's lower back. "And you... untie me."
Vexen nodded as well, stepping forward and undoing the binds around Xemnas.
When Demyx returned, full outfit in his arms, and Xemnas was fully dressed, he gazed around the room at the others.
Marluxia was now standing behind Larxene, who was smirking as Vexen tried to get around Xigbar. Xigbar, it seemed, was enjoying himself as he shot Vexen in the feet everytime he tried to move towards Marluxia.
Xaldin was seemingly growing increasingly annoyed as Roxas zipped around him as fast as he could run, while Axel followed, a gleeful grin on his face, his arms outstretched towards the boy in front of him. As Xemnas watched, Xaldin summoned two spears, pinning Roxas to the wall behind him, and Axel - hung by two belt loops - to the ceiling, directly above the table Xemnas had been lying on.
Lexaeus was staring uninterested at Demyx as he spouted nonsense from his mouth about all the things he didn't want to happen to him for doing anything.
Saix, standing by himself, was staring vacantly at Axel.
Xemnas's eyes narrowed. "Where is Zexion?" he asked, causing all movement and speech to cease immidietely.
There was an almost deafening silence.
Xemnas sighed. "You lost him?"
- - - - -
Zexion pushed opened the door to the room he was at, sighing. He had just awoken and pushed away all the Nobodies around him, feeling not all depressed. He blinked as the unusual silence hit him.
"Why the fuck is it so quiet?" he muttered to himself before setting off down the hallway to search out Demyx.

So, it's been a while.
Complain about anything - length, content, whatever - and it may take even longer.
I do apologize for taking so long to upload another chapter, and I'm sorry it wasn't as long as it could've been, but that's all I could come with right now, so I don't feel like hearing anyone tell me it could be longer. 'Kay?
Yeah, I'm a bitch.
