Hey everyone I'm so sorry it took so long to get this chapter out to you. I've been super crazy busy. So I hope you enjoy. (Sorry if it seems a bit rushed. It has been a long while since I wrote the first chapter so I had to get back into the swing of things. But I promise the next will be better. Thanks and enjoy)
Demyx woke up to the sound of knocking on his door. "Hey Demyx! You have to get up. We have another mission to do today." Axel's voice called out from behind the door. Demyx just rolled over onto his stomach and buried his face into his pillow with a heavy sigh. "You overslept. Saïx won't be happy about this." Demyx still didn't move. "That's it." Axel barged into the room. "Come on, get up!" He yanked the covers off of Demyx.
"Alright, I'm up. I'm up." Demyx sat up with a yawn as he stretched his arms. "So what's today's mission?"
"Another recon. Now let's get a move on. Hurry." Axel headed for the grey room and waited for Demyx to arrive. Once Demyx walked into the room, Axel summoned a dark corridor. The two walked through it and arrived back in Twilight Town.
"So we're back at this place again, huh?" Demyx scanned the area, looking it over top to bottom.
"Yeah. We'll be coming here quite often 'till you get used to how things work around here."
"So a recon mission. Alright." Demyx started to head for the town's square.
"Hold on just a moment. First, I'm gonna teach ya how to open a dark corridor." Axel held his arm out in front of him and concentrated on making a dark corridor appear. "See what I just did? Try and do the same thing. Concentrate all your energy on the darkness and focus in on a location you wish to travel."
"Alright." Demyx held out his arm just as Axel did. "I'll try." He concentrated all his energy on the tips of his fingers. 'Come on... A place!' Demyx remember. 'But what place... That girl. The town square!' A small black swirl started to form.
"There ya go. You almost have it." Axel smiled a bit, but it wasn't long before the black swirl shrunk even smaller and vanished, along with Axel's smile. "You'll get it eventually." Axel patted Demyx's back. "Ready to get a move on?"
"Yeah." Demyx followed Axel.
They appeared in the gray room through a corridor. Axel went up to Saïx to notify him of their return. He received the reports from Saïx and have one to Demyx. "You should know how to do this by now."
"Yeah" Demyx took the paper and headed for him room. He laid back on his bed, looking up at the ceiling he thought about his plan. 'I just need to learn how to summon a dark corridor and head back to Twilight Town and find that girl. If I can find her I can get her and Axel to meet.' he thought. 'But first I have to summon a dark corridor...' He sighed as he sat up and walked over to his desk to fill out the report.
Everyday was the same. Wake up, meet Axel in the gray room and head for Twilight Town to learn new things. Demyx learned about the heartless and how to defeat them. "Alright so you pretty much know how to fight now." Axel said. "It looks like you're getting used to things now"
"Yeah. It's been ten weeks now since I first joined." Demyx said.
"Pretty soon you'll be doing missions on your own." Axel said as he started to head back to the dark corridor.
"Sweet" they entered the corridor and not long after Demyx was back in his room laying on his bed. 'I can finally summon a dark corridor I just need to be on a solo mission and I'll be able to find the girl'
When Demyx went down to the gray room he was greeted by Axel. "Hey man looks like you're doing a solo mission today" Demyx thought it was too good to be true.
"Demyx. Here's your mission for the day" Saïx said handing him a piece of paper.
"A new world?" Demyx questioned.
"Yes. You're gonna investigate it." Saïx said.
"Alright." Demyx said and summoned a dark corridor to the new world. He arrived in a town. It looked destroyed, but among the rubble buildings were being rebuilt. "If I can do this quickly I may have time to go to a Twilight Town." Demyx quickly walk around the town. Many structures have been leveled and pathways no longer exist in places. Everything is quiet. "Axel said I had to learn the name of this place. But I don't see anyone I can ask..."
"Ice cream. Get your ice cream here!" A voice called out.
"Huh?" Demyx turned to see three little ducks in a store. 'I can ask them' he thought. He walked over to them. "Hi can you tell me the name of this Town"
"Sure. You're in Hollow Bastion." The one is blue said.
"Yeah. Oh would you like some ice cream?" The one in red said.
"It's really yummy." the one in green said.
"Thanks but I just ate and I don't have any munny on me. Sorry" Demyx said to the little ducks.
"Oh... Ok. But come back sometime and try some ice cream." the one in blue said.
"Alright. Next time. Promise" Demyx said as he waved goodbye. 'Perfect I have enough that I can now head to Twilight Town.' He thought. Demyx went to an alleyway and summoned a dark corridor and stepped through. He appeared in one of the alleyways of Twilight Town. "Now to find her" he said as he headed for the sandlot. When he got there, there were a few people walking around. He decided it wouldn't hurt to ask someone. He walked up to a man, "Excuse me. Maybe you can help me. I'm looking for someone. Do you know the girl who won that competition a couple months ago?"
"Oh you're talking about Liya." The man said.
"Yes. I have a message to give her from an old friend of hers." Demyx lied with a smile.
"You might be able to find her by the clock tower. She likes to watch the sun set"
"Thank you" Demyx said before he made his way to the clock tower. He entered the plaza below the tower, but it was empty. "The sun should be setting soon, but I don't see her anywhere..."
A pair a feet swung over the ledge on top of the clock tower. Liya was sitting eating a sea salt ice cream when she heard something below.
"Oh..." Demyx whined. "Now what am I gonna do?"
'He looks familiar... Wait I know. He's that guy I saw during my competition. I really did see someone running off' She thought. Liya quickly stood up and made her way down to the plaza. Demyx was still there. 'Good he's still here' she thought. "Hey can I help you?" She asked.
Demyx turned around. "Huh? Oh it's you. I've been wanting to talk to you"
"Ok..." Liya was unsure of the person before her.
"My friend. He told me that he knew you from a long time ago. So I thought if come find you and see if you wanted to see him again"
"Your friend?" She asked.
"Yeah Axel."
"Sorry but I don't know anyone by that name." She said then thought to herself, 'I thought I saw lea, but I guess I didn't. But who's this Axel...'
"Well he goes by Axel now, but when you knew him his name was different. Though I'm not sure what he used to go by. He never said."
'Could it really be Lea then...' She thought. "Alright. I'll meet him."
"Alright. I'll bring him by tomorrow. We'll be here at the clock tower."
"Alright. See ya then" She waved as she headed back inside the building. Demyx turned and headed back for the dark corridor in the alleyway. He arrived back in Castle Oblivion and filled out his report in his room. Excited to have Axel meet his old friend. "I can't wait. He'll be so excited".
