Summary: Watching someone die was never easy. It was harder to watch yourself die. It wasn't the real Zexion Repliku had killed, and Axel realized that too late. Now his plans to overthrow the Organization are shattered as Zexion escapes the fallen Castle Oblivion to report to Xemnas, but will he be able to make it in time? What if Axel gets there first?

Just as the destructive weapon swung down, Zexion managed to roll out of the way. But not without some damage. One of the sharp spikes had knicked his cheek and caught on the sleeve of his coat. He let out another yell, trying to get himself free.

"Help!" he shouted again. His lexicon slammed into the side of Saïx's face, but that did nothing but make the Diviner even more angry.

The blue haired Nobody let out another growl and bent down to grip Zexion's neck, squeezing painfully on his windpipe. He smirked as he watched the smaller one thrash and attempt to claw at him. Saïx was like a pittbull; once he had a hold of you, he wasn't going to let go.

Zexion tried to scream for help but the lack of air restricted his vocal chords. He thrashed his petite body and tried to pry Saïx's hands off his neck, to no avail. He felt Saïx's sharp nails resting against his skin and his body spasmed in slight pain. He couldn't keep this up! The lack of oxygen was making his body shut down, his vision was becoming very blurry and all sounds were slightly muted. He could hear Saïx laughing. In the back of his mind he thought he heard a dull thumping noise. He wondered what it was. It was a familiar sound yet at the same time it was so foreign.

Just before his vision went completely black the pressure on his throat was suddenly gone. Zexion gasped as sweet, sweet air was now invading his lungs and he could move! He panted heavily and blinked his now dull eyes, looking up at where Saïx once was. He wasn't there.

Apparently someone had heard Zexion's screams. Xaldin, Luxord, and Xigbar. Xaldin's spears had pinned Saïx to a wall and Xigbar's guns were pointed right at the X-shaped scar. Luxord was kneeling beside Zexion, making sure he would be alright.

In the back of his mind, Zexion was relieved. Not because the three had saved him from certain death, but because there still seemed to be a sense of unity within the Organization.

"Zexion!" Luxord exclaimed, moving some of Zexion's hair out of his pale face. "You're alive- well for the most part," the gambler gave Zexion a cheeky grin as he helped him to his feet, keeping him far away from Saïx.

Zexion shook, resisting the urge to hide behind Luxord as Saïx tried to free himself from Xaldin's spears. He could hear the leather of Xigbar's gloves tighten as his finger rested on the trigger, close to pulling it. Xigbar never liked Saïx, any Nobody who knew him could see that the older Nobody would love to just embed one of his crystal bullets in the Diviner's skull.

Xaldin however was not going to let Xigbar do that. Only Xemnas had the right to say when an Organization member could kill another. However he saw that Axel obviously broke those rules, and Saïx was close to doing the same.

"Enough!!" speak of the devil.

Everyone seemed to freeze as Xemnas appeared right before them, his eyes staring through all of them.

"What is the meaning of this?" Xemnas looked at Xaldin and Xigbar, who were restraining his second in command.

Xigbar did not lower his weapons and Xaldin did not release Saïx. The Diviner was still in beserk mode and was desperately trying to get free.

"Superior," Luxord finally spoke, a protective arm in front of Zexion, just in case. "Surely you heard the screaming. Saïx almost killed Zexion. If it wasn't for Xaldin and Xigbar holding him back, we would have lost the little guy. "

It was at that moment that Xemnas noticed Zexion. "Zexion..." he said softly, orange eyes staring right at the Schemer. "So you are alive... And here I was worried that Axel had lied to me again."

Zexion visibly stiffened and everyone noticed. His eyes narrowed and took on a silver hue.

Xemnas definitely noticed that. What had happened between his subordinates? He walked over to Zexion and placed a hand on his shoulder. "you're coming with me," he said, not giving Zexion a choice in the matter. Xemnas looked at the others. "... Subdue Seven and lock him in his room. I shall deal with him in a moment," and with that he opened a portal, gently pushing Zexion through it before disappearing into it himself.

The three nodded, doing as their Superior requested. Luxord froze Saïx's body in that moment of time so he'd be easier to move. All were silent until Xaldin spoke up.

"Where is Axel?"
