My Own Lost World

Ch 6.

Brothers Really Enjoy Ratting You Out.

Like Roxas, this Axel guy hade a weapon of choice that he used to fight with.

Twin wheels with spikes. I didn't know the name of the weapon, only which it started with a 'Cha' so I later dubbed them 'Hell Wheels'.

It fit, seeming as he had this weird liking for fire.

They fought viciously, tooth and nail. It seemed to go on forever, and I found myself screaming on the inside.

I felt cold and useless; leading me to believe my face had probably paled.

Suddenly, everything ended.

Axel was shoved back, exhaustedly leaning over to catch his breath.

Roxas stood a few feet away, at ready.

I ran over to him.

"You okay, Buddy?" I asked him.

"Fine. Don't worry." He replied.

The world around us rippled, and a guy in red appeared.

I couldn't see his face; it was covered by red ribbons.

Roxas instinctively pulled me behind him, readying his Keyblade.

Axel and the mysterious guy conversed, and Roxas tensed, stepping backwards and pulling me closer, as if to make sure I was still there.

Roxas joined the conversation, arguing with the two men.

I was beginning to think Axel and The Mystery Man were both Looney Toons.

Seriously.

They both started his name, as if they were arguing over who said his name better.

I was about to ask which crazy house they escaped from when I sensed Roxass' annoyance and anger get the best of him.

I stepped away from him.

He clutched his head, as if gaining a major headache. His gaze jerked to the sky and he shouted our friend's names.

"Hayner! Pence! Olette!" Every thing seemed to fall back into place, the two men disappeared quickly, and everyone started cheering again as if nothing had happened.

I was suddenly jerked forward, narrowly avoiding an accidental hit in the side by Vivi.

It had been Roxas who had pulled me away, and I gave him silent thanks as I jumped off the stage.

I had forgotten Vivi had already been in the mist of an attack and I was standing where he had aimed.

That had been really smart of me, hadn't it?

"How'd you get up there?" Olette asked.

"I have no idea." I lied.

"Weird! Maybe it is another wonder of Twilight Town!" Pence exclaimed.

"Maybe." I replied, though I was doubtful that that was true.

Roxas landed the final blow, crushing Vivi's chance of winning.

I cheered and clapped, joined by Pence, Olette and Hayner.

Vivi stood up, looking confused.

"How did I get here?" I heard him ask before he walked away.

This was all so confusing, and hard to believe.

Roxas was now up against Setzer, (I think that was his name…) who was bribing Roxas to let him win.

"Get real!" Roxas told him.

"You tell 'em, Roxas!!" I shouted.

"Beat him down!" Hayner joined me in cheering.

Roxas didn't even have to work to beat the wimp of a champ. He held the trophy up, nodding for us to come and join him.

I jumped on stage again, running over to him. Hayner was close on my heels, followed by Pence and Olette.

Roxas and Hayner held the edges of the trophy high, Olette stood beside Hayner, smiling.

I stood on Roxas's side, hugging him. He used one arm to hug me back, still keeping the trophy up.

Pence stood behind the camera and counted down.

Click!

The picture had been taken.

***

We sat down at the top of the tower, eating Sea-Salt Ice-cream. Our usual treat.

Roxas pulled gems off the trophy, tossing one to each of us. There were five of us, but only four gems. Roxas and I had to share.

The last one was as blue as Roxas's eyes.

I loved that.

I stood up, yawning.

"Ill see you guys later, I think ill go crash." I said. "Hayner, don't forget curfew." I said, disappearing down the stairs.

Hayner's POV:

Aqua left, and Pence and Olette soon did, too. This was the perfect time to confront Roxas about this little situation I had a problem with.

"When are you gonna tell her, man?" I asked my friend.

"Tell who what?" He asked.

"Aqua! I'm not stupid, I see the way you look at her." I continued. "And I see the way she looks at you…"

He looked over my way.

"Huh?" He asked.

"Nothing." I replied. "But you had better talk to Aqua. Olette plans on talking to you soon. Get with Aqua, before you get hounded by Olette."

"Both of them?!" He asked, shocked.

"You didn't notice? Olette and Aqua have been mentally arguing about it since the beginning of summer! Thing is, Aqua called dibs first, and Olette is fighting back."

Talk to Aqua soon, man."

He nodded.

"But remember; she's my sister, and I have every right to protect her if you do her wrong." I warned him.

"Don't worry about it. I can't do that." He replied.

"I know. Hey, I had better go. Curfew is the worst. See ya!" I stood up and left, to let Roxas think.

Roxas's POV:

Aqua……called dibs?
