How Axel Came To Be

"Well that's just great."

"Honestly kid! Can you talk to one person without-!" Without warning Luxord dragged me into a portal. I can tell you right now, I was taken by surprise.

"What the hell?!" I yelled at him. He just keeps on dragging me, without any type of explanation! I was going to yank my hand away from him, but we were still in the darkness and I didn't wanna lose myself in it. Before, I felt a soft pull, like a call for me to join it. Now it was a pull. I stayed with Luxord and walked closer to him. "Are we going to leave?" I nervously asked. I wanted to get the heck out of there!

"We're almost there. I just have to find the right… Here it is!" We stepped into another hole and ended up in a bedroom. I will tell you right now what I have seen so far of the decorations of the castle. It was all a head piercing white. Every, single, last thing was white. Except for the robes the Organization members wore and their hair color, the place was white. Now when we got into this room, the place looked like a tornado of red and black and clothes came in and threw up. Posters, books, games, magazines, clothes, empty lighters and matchbooks, and movies where on the floor, bed, desk and everywhere else.

"Uhm…Are you sure this is the right-." I got cut off…again. You know, I was getting pretty tired of that.

"Luxord! What are you doing in here?! Can't you knock or something before barging in?!" This was said by a male. An angry male. Did I mention he was a male? "And why did you have to bring a girl in here!?" He sounded close by, like he was…underneath a pill of clothes. "And would you be so kind as to get this crap off of me!" Luxord and I immediately went to work on the pile. I think I could see the points of something red. I tugged on it, and a head came with it!

"AHHH! TALKING HEAD!"

"AHHH! SCREAMING GIRL!" The head yelled at me sarcastically. I stopped screaming for a second and looked at the head. He had sharp green eyes, and a tattoo under each one. His face was angular and I could already tell he was a trouble maker. I actually smiled. "Whoa, what's this I see? A smile from the girl who was screaming in my face? Interesting. Can you let my hair go now?" He asked. I let go and stepped away from the clothes. He got up and as far as I could tell, he was taller than me, by a lot. Then again everyone is taller than me here.

"So Axel, since we rescued you from your prison of clothes, are you willing to do us a favor?" Luxord spoke up, after witnessing my change in attitude.

"Oh yeah sure, Luxord. I've got nothing better to do except for, oh I don't know, clean my room?" he said jokingly. "Why not. What's the favor?" He looked at me for an answer.

"I need an interview. And a picture. And since you look older than 18, you don't need a photo release form." I still had my book and pen in my hands so I held them up.

"Oh, that sounds cool. Sure I'll do it. But first, introductions." And with that he held up Luxord's hand. "This is Number Ten: Luxord the Gambler of Fate. And I am Number Eight: Axel the Flurry of Dancing Flames. Got it memorized?" he said with a wink. I nodded and jotted the information down, both things on separate pages. I looked up and Axel pulled up a chair for me to sit in, which I did. Then I started my questions.

"How did you become a part of Organization Thirteen?"

Axel looked at me and sighed. He leaned against his desk and Luxord sat on another chair that had a pile of clothes on it. "Do you wanna hear the long version or the short version?"

"The long version, if it's not a problem."

He sighed again and looked past me, like he was looking back at his past. "It's simple, I lost my heart and I was recruited. I was special like everyone else, still had my body and mind, but not my heart. But, I die because of an accident. I lived with friends, ones who weren't really responsible. They came and went and brought more friends. I was just an outsider sometimes. Like I was there but wasn't there. Then one day, I went with them to a party. We all drank our hearts out, and then started to drive. Somehow we made it back to the house in one piece. Weird huh? Well when we got in the house, it was trashed. I was the last one out so they blamed it all on me. It didn't help that they were drunk either. They all ganged up on me and beat the crap out of me, to the point where I could move. Then they left. But before they left, they grabbed everything that belonged to them and left. They all left me there in that crappy house to die. But one of those idiots decided it would be hilarious if they could get rid of all the evidence. Even me. So they set the house on fire." The whole time I could feel flames coming from Axel. Now it was getting really hot, hot enough that it started to feel like a desert. "So I can't move and getting ready to burn, and I see this little heartless thing. It's a Crimson Jazz! I tired to move, but like I said, I couldn't. The little bugger came to my chest and I felt my heart move, like it was being pulled on. By then, the flames were eating at my legs, but all I could feel was my heart. Finally, after what seemed to be a life time, it came out and the flames disappeared. Everything disappeared. I was found by Xigbar and I became the eighth member of Organization Thirteen." The heat dissipated and Axel looked at me. "Did you get it all?" I nodded and looked at Axel.

"What about your power over fire?" This question was buzzing in my head for everyone to answer, including Luxord, but I was gonna ask him later. Axel looked surprised when I asked that and instead of telling me, he raised his arms and fire came from his hands, along with two wheels with spikes on them.

"They are called chakrams. Got it memorized?" I nodded my head and he continued. "I have power over fire because that's what I most connect with. I'm a fiery person. Plus it comes naturally to me." He shrugged and swung his chakrams around. I watched in amazement, wondering if I could do that. I shook the thought out of my head and asked my next question.

"Were you born with the name Axel, or was it given to you when you joined?" I was curious to know his answer, only because I thought Axel was a weird name to name a child.

"My real name is Lea Marx. My last name was taken away and my first name was mixed with an 'x' and they got Axel." He got rid of his chakrams and looked over at Luxord. "Has she interrogated you yet?" He smiled. Luxord was looking at his hands the whole time Axel and I were talking and he looked at Axel like a deer caught before headlights.

"Oh. No she hasn't asked me anything yet." He looked over at me, then back at Axel.

"Okay…Any more questions?" Axel asked after giving Luxord a concerned look.

"Well…just two more. The first one is when did you join The Organization and the second one is… can I hold your chakrams?" I felt like a fan girl asking that question. Axel just shook his head and laughed at me. He brought his chakrams back and I got to hold one. It was light weight and the spikes were razor sharp. It felt like a good weapon when it came to tossing it at your enemy and it would be good at close range. "As much as I don't wanna give it back," I told Axel, "I feel like I have too. And it's not because it's yours! It's just, something I couldn't use." And with that I gave it back. Axel took it and got rid of both of the chakrams.

"So I joined The Organization back when I 18. Now I'm 28. That was ten years ago." He looked off into the distance, I guess to remember his childhood.

"You're 28?! I thought you were 17!" I exclaimed indignantly. I was surprised! I thought he was cute!

"Hahaha! Wow! I shouldn't be surprised, I get that a lot." And with that he winked at me. It took all I had not to smack him for being cocky. Luxord caught what I might have done and cleared his throat. "I wasn't gonna do anything to her Luxord. I'm just playing." Axel smirked and I rolled my eyes. I got up from the chair and looked around.

"Are there any…dead bodies here…?" I couldn't help but ask. I could hide the Russian circus in his room and no one would know but Kingdom Hearts.

"No. There are no dead bodies here…At least I don't think so…" Axel looked around carefully and started to get a bit nervous. "Uhm, how about we take this conversation somewhere else?" He suggested. We all looked around the room one more time and ran out of the door, straight into someone's face.

"OW! GOD AXEL WAS THAT FUCKINING NESSACARY?!" The voice yelled at us. The voice was way too familiar. I swear to Kingdom Hearts I knew that voice. Axel knew it as well.

"Oh my bad, Roxas. I was just helping Luxord and his little friend, whose name I haven't caught yet." Axel said in a pleasant tone. However, Luxord dragged me behind him and I obliged him.

"Luxord and…You me to tell me that chick is here?" Roxas said in an oddly calm voice. I couldn't see his face but Axel was getting fidgety.

"Uh, yeah. She was interviewing me." Axel replied. The formation that we were in was in this order from Axel's room was me, Luxord, Axel, door, and then Roxas. Axel stepped in front of the door. I heard an intense whisper come from Roxas and Axel and after two minutes of the argument, Roxas showed his face. He had a black eye. And a few bruises, but that was it. I didn't have a black eye, but then again I hadn't checked if I did. Roxas gave me a menacing glare and Luxord moved me so he could close Axel's door. Axel put a hand over Roxas' shoulder and smiled.

"You get to interview him next."

Rev: Man! Took me a grand total of 3 hours. Only because I was looking for music. Well this is a cliff! Hope you guys can wait till tomorrow!
