The next day Axel woke up and once he left his room Roxas was running down the hall and grabbed Axel and then headed for the Dining Room.
Demyx just awoke to the sound of approaching steps and opened his door. He then saw Axel running with Roxas to the Dining Room. He yawned and felt something, like he would soon…fade away…He walked into the Dining Room and had to sit in Roxas' seat again for the 5th time this week.
He ignored Larxene and ate a few pieces of toast and then left the Dining Room.
Much later in the day, Xemnas walked over to Demyx and assigned him a mission. Demyx was to go eliminate Sora.
Demyx appeared in Hollow Bastion and said, "Eh, ah…Hey. You guys are looking lively."
Sora, Donald, and Goofy jumped when they saw Demyx appear but then Donald yelled, "Scram!"
Sora blinked, "Didn't we catch you messing around in the Underworld? How'd a wimp like you get into Organization XIII?"
Demyx gasped a bit and jumped when Sora said he was a 'wimp'. Sora crossed his arms and smugly said, "I bet you can't even fight."
"Yeah, but we can!" Donald exclaimed.
Demyx stood up straight and held up his index finger and shook it saying, "You shouldn't judge anyone by appearances."
The three took out their weapons and Demyx jumped back at the sudden movement. He turned around and leaned forward as he talked to himself making slight hand/arm motions, "Oh, I told them they were sending the wrong guy…"
Sora watched Demyx, "Who is this kook?"
"Remember, the Organization's made up of Nobodies." Goofy reminded Sora.
"Right—no hearts!" Sora said and made a hand motion towards Demyx.
Demyx's head shot up and he turned around halfway and spoke, "Oh, we do too have hearts! Don't be mad…"
Donald pointed an accusing finger at Demyx, "You can't trick us!" He yelled.
Demyx turned back around to think for a second then quickly turned back around pointing an accusing finger at Sora, "Silence … traitor."
Sora got confused then Demyx summoned his sitar and a battle took place and once the battle finished, Demyx's sitar disappeared and he fell to his knees.
Demyx then stood up, "Oh…No waaayyyy! Nooo!" He then fell to his knees again and slowly faded away in silence and Sora went about his own business.
Hours later, news spread like a wildfire around and as soon as Axel heard it, he rushed to Demyx's room.
"No...He can't be…dead." He dropped to his knees and sobbed, he had no heart, but he still, he still cared for Demyx. Now the young Nocturne was gone…Axel sobbed quietly as the room was filled with silence. Oh how he regretted ignoring Demyx during his last few moments, but he was too busy with Roxas…
Sobbing quietly, music sheets fell in front of him, Everlasting Fire.
"Everlasting…Fire…composed by…Demyx for his love…Axel." He tasted the words on his tongue bitterly and a single teardrop fell on the paper, "I'm sorry…" He whispered.
