One day Xemnas gave a mission to Axel so he could get him out for a while, after Axel left Xemnas called everyone to a meeting.

" Well. " Xemnas started off " I think you all know why I called you here today. To talk about Axel's behavior with his...killing everyone that just slightly annoys him.." Xemnas then muttered " I'm surprised at least some are still here. Anyway, Someone has to know by now what's going on cause the hell I don't. " No one answered, then Xemnas looked at Roxas. " Roxas you have to know something, you are like his best friend, you should talk to him about it. " Roxas then looked away

" I'm to scared to get near him also. He's just not the same, I can't just walk up to him without getting yelled out ad almost killed."

Xemnas stared at Roxas. " I know you're lying, tell me now. " Xemnas commanded strongly at the end, Roxas knew if he didn't say anything Roxas would be in trouble. " Well- you see, Axel started acting weird after this long mission you gave him to spy on Leon and the rest. Merlin then found Axel and forced him out with some kind of strong magic-"

" It's not magic that's wrong with Axel, I would be able to feel the magic, strong or not. " Zexion commented

Roxas rolled his eyes " Let me finish, anyway..."

" Axel cursed as he held the left side of his face which was covered in some sort of hot sticky stuff and his right arm which was sprained..or broken. Axel knew he shouldn't have been so obvious. Axel cursed some more for a while until he was stable enough to portal out and spy on Riku, who was watching (( creeping )) Sora in Atlantica ( I don't know why he was but I guess Axel was just passing time) . But eventually Riku saw Axel, so Riku and Axel got into some big fight and somehow ended up in the Underworld. Riku got the best of Axel and ' accidentally' pushed him into the Dead River. Riku didn't tell Hades what he did but just walked away, well Hades was looking into it wondering who he could use when Hades saw Axel torchering everyone more with everyone he saw cause he was pretty pissed off, but Hades was getting more complaints from there than usual so he made a deal with Axel so he could get him out...but I don't know what that deal was, and why it would cause Axel to go on a killing spree, I have a theory though. I didn't say anything cause it sounded crazy and maybe I was being stupid and heard wrong. " Roxas explained

"Okay...but...what do you expect the deal was? What's your theory? " Xemnas asked

Roxas shrugged " His sanity. "

Demyx gave a confused look " Axel traded in his sanity to come back? Why? "

Roxas shrugged " Its just a theory Demyx, but if that's the case then...I don't have an answer. "

Xemnas sighed " How do you know all this? "

"Uh....I was....spying on Axel since he didn't come back when he was supposed to, even though you said not to. " Roxas admitted " I also got some answers out of Riku then found Sora who didn't wanna answer me, plus he wasn't even there. I don't know why I asked him."

Xemnas glared " Well we have more important things to deal with right now, we can talk about that later. "

Roxas jumped down from his chair " I forgot something....It might be some proof to my theory. " Roxas walked to the door, opened it and froze....so did everyone else. Roxas was now face to face with Axel.

Axel grinned and said creepily " Hello....Roxy. " Roxas' eyes widened and then he slammed the door in Axel's face, wrong move, in a matter of seconds the door then burst into flames and Axel stepped out of it. Roxas backed away slowly as Axel walked towards him. " Talking about me eh, Roxy? " Axel stopped walking then so did Roxas, Roxas just gave a nervous glance in Axel's direction.

" Axel this has got to stop. " Xemnas declared. Axel just shrugged and took a step forward in a somewhat threatening way.

" You being my best friend , are spying on me? Roxas I'm hurt. " Axel said clutching his chest where his heart is supposed to be.

Zexion jumped down from his chair also. " Axel enough! Are you really going to let your insanity kill Roxas and the rest of us? " Axel paused looking very confused

" You all really think I would trade in my sanity to be free? " Axel grinned looking amused " Well whatever floats your boat. "

" Well then...what did you trade in? " Demyx asked, Axel looked up at Demyx, still grinning.

" All if your all non existent lives. "

------

" What?! " Roxas and Demyx asked in unison.

" Yes, you all are gonna help me stay out, he figured the rest of your souls would pay for mine, its a simple fare trade. "

" You're kidding me, a fare trade...hardly. " Zexion frowned at Axel. " Didn't you ever realize once were gone if you do kill us all of that you'll be alone? "

Axel sighed then started to pace around the room, everyone watching him wearily " I have no choice, I don't really wanna go back there, so you all will take my place instead. " Axel stopped pacing " You can't hide from me, I'll find you eventually, I only have three days left to kill the rest of you off so lets just get it over with. Now...who's next? "

Xemnas and Saix looked at each other and had some kind of silent agreement. Roxas had to tell Zexion something but looked over at him and noticed, his eyes were closed and that he looked like he was concentrating very hard on something, so he left Zexion alone. Xemnas and Saix both stood up (( yes in air x3)) and then Xemnas spoke up. " Axel we will not let this happen, so were gonna have to kill you first. "

Axel smirked " Try me. "

Xemnas and Saix both lunged for Axel, when Zexion's eyes shot open then shouted " No!! " As soon at Xemnas and Saix were close enough to strike Axel, they both froze in midair. Zexion sighed and closed his eyes again, Axel sighed,

" You see, Hades gave me a small sample of your powers, I can use them anytime I want " Axel looked at Xemnas and Saix then appeared two lancers, one in each of them. " I used Xaldin's lancers as my weapon but they would have been seen so I had to use Zexion's illusion power to make them blend in. Zexion, though noticed this and tried very hard to uncover the lancers, he almost had it too but when they both jumped he lost his focus. " Axel dropped the starting to fade Xemnas and Saix to the ground. Demyx growled and jumped down.

"Axel maybe we could work something else out with Hades.. " Demyx attempted to persuade Axel.

Axel sighed " No Demyx, this is your fate. I, Axel, am your all's fate. "

"No its not! " Roxas looked up at everyone then nodded " Everyone, do what Xemnas told us if something like this happens. " Everyone nodded and quickly portaled away.

" Be safe little dude. " Xigbar told Roxas then he left.

" Where'd they go?! " Axel yelled

Demyx narrowed his eyes " None of your business. "

Axel looked at Roxas " Common Roxas, tell me, were best friends right? "

Those words shot Roxas right through his non existent heart " No Axel....I-You were my best friend, I don't want to kill you, but now you leave me no choice. "

" I can always find them later then. " Axel shrugged it off and Roxas' words not phasing him at all.

" Roxas, Demyx....we can do this...if we...if one of us-" Zexion stuttered

Demyx smiled " No worries, were gonna be ok, right Roxas? "

Roxas smiled and gave them a thumbs up " Right. "

" Aw how nice, you're not running away like everyone else, that makes it so much easier. "

" You make me sick....what is wrong with you?! I never thought you would go this far to save your self! " Zexion yelled

" Are those your last words? "

" He's saying you're being stupid! " Demyx also yelled

" Well, I'll bet you I'll win, if you wanna live you're gonna have to fight for it. " Axel pulled out his chackrams ((Me:...I don't think I spelled that right...))

Demyx brought out his Sitar " Bring it on. "

Axel smirked " Is that a challenge? That's so unlike you. "

" Well someone has to...are elements are perfect for fighting together. " Demyx turned to Zexion and Roxas " Go guys, I'll be back with you soon. "

"But - " Roxas started

" No Roxas, water is the best thing to fight him with, I can just douse anything he throws at me. "

Axel smirked " You're making it sound so simple for yourself, well I guess that's better than running away, like you usually do. I think you should stick to it if you're wise. "

Demyx opened a portal " Go, I can tell he's making you mad Roxas, let me fight him. "

Zexion took Roxas' shoulder and pushed him into the portal. " Thank you Demyx. " Zexion then whispered into his ear " You should have tried out for some sort of acting classes. " Demyx smiled and Zexion smiled back then went into the portal.

" Now its just you and me Demyx...."

---------
" Roxas calm down! " Zexion tried to calm down Roxas " We just have to hope. "

" But I know he's not coming back! I know he won't! " Roxas yelled. They all took shelter in 'Proof of Existence. ' for the time being. Vexen had made clones of all of them to trick Axel into thinking he's killing them all...

" Roxas you see those two empty spaces right there? " Zexion showed Roxas the spaces " When one of them dies their little grave thing will pop up there, just watch and wait to see which one comes first, we'll know who won then. "

" Okay..." Roxas sat down against the wall and watched the spaces intently until he drifted off to sleep.

Okay then...well the next chapter is the last one....finally...I'm sorry for the stupid errors in it...I'm not feeling good, at all....blek. Review pretty please!!
