Author's note: (I have a slightly longer one than usual)
Hello! I just thought I would start this chapter out by saying that I just remembered something about the title--some of you might say, "oh, that's interesting." others will say "why in the heck do we care?" Well, I'm just gonna tell you anyway. Originally, the island's name, Malaguapu, was going to be changed to Malahuevos (which kinda means bad eggs if you don't know any Spanish). But the new title didn't have the same flare, so I changed it back. Now wasn't that a lovely story that makes you want to make a grab for the nearest tissue?
Now, on to business. With the start of school, I won't be able to commit nearly as much time to writing this story. There's that and the fact that I am writing another story. AND, now don't cry when I tell you this, but I am running low on the random juice. I know, it's horrible.
So if you, my little reader bunchkins, have any ideas that I can use for a challenge (not plan it all out for me, just an idea) that would be lovely and I would send you a free electronic huggle. What else do you want--money? I'm not Bill Gates! Anyway, I still have some ideas up my sleeve, so don't go all emo and depressed on me. Just read this boring and depressingly random free chapter and leave a review. sigh, I've made myself go emo
The former members of team Warriors of Justice dropped their belongings upon arriving at the Dominator's campsite. "Whoa! There's a waterfall here?!" Sora exclaimed excitedly jumping around. Axel hissed at the water and jumped back a few feet.
"Hey Kairi, how's it goin'?" Riku asked a bit forced. Kairi hesitated.
"Look…I'm sorry for how I acted back in those challenges. It was Larxene's influence, I guess. Can you and Sora ever forgive me?" she asked pleadingly.
"I suppose…and I'm sure Sora - Sora? Hey, where'd Sora go?" Riku asked looking around for any trace of the brunette.
"Up there!" Kairi pointed over Riku's shoulder. Sora was perched at the top of the waterfall, poised to dive into the water below. He had stripped himself of his shirt and shoes, leaving only his cargo pant thingys on.
"Look at me! I'm gonna jump!" he called out waving to everyone down below.
"Uh, is the little man always like this?" Xigbar asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Vexen answered rolling his eyes as he went to go find a suitable spot for his experiments.
"Cowabunga!" Sora yelled as he leapt. Zexion watched him fall and with a sigh of dread, realized the he was too close to the water. Sora hit the surface of the pond with a belly flop. There was a collective twinge of sympathy at the sound of the painful smack. Zexion, on the other hand, did not feel like sympathizing with Sora seeing as how he was now soaked. He sighed again and went to find a suitable spot to hang his cloak.
Yuffie watched the Nobody, then went over to Kairi and nudged her. "Hey, Mr. Hottie is about to take his cloak off." Kairi giggled and Riku gagged slightly.
"Speaking of which, why don't any of you Organization members take your cloaks off?" Riku asked Axel recovering from his gagging attack.
"We are hott!" Axel said smirking.
"I didn't mean that!" Riku grumbled, annoyed.
"Simple - we don't sweat."
"So then, what is underneath those cloaks?"
Marluxia, who happened to be nearby, overheard Riku's question and said with a glint in his eye and a rose in his hand, "You know what this means! We must reveal our awesome fashion senses to the world!"
So, before they could complain, everyone was dragged over to a makeshift walkway to watch as the Organization members revealed what was under their cloaks. Zexion refused to participate and insisted that everyone leave him alone while he took off his cloak. Of course, no one listened. Zexion took his cloak off to reveal…a long sleeved black shirt and black pants.
"Do you wear anything aside from black?" Riku asked.
"Yes - silver." Zexion answered pointing to the zipper on his currently wet Organization cloak.
"Me next! Me next!" Marluxia exclaimed taking his cloak off to reveal…a pink floral shirt with green letters that read 'flower power' and green shorts. "What do you think? Does it bring out the color of my eyes?" he asked pointing to his eyes which were sparkling like mad. No one answered. "Pshaw, y'all know you're just jealous! Don't be hatein'!" Marluxia said with a gangsta girl accent while brandishing his finger and swinging his head in that crazy wazy movement. (you all know the one I mean).
"Okay, time to reveal my smexyness!" Axel said taking his cloak off to reveal a fire red shirt and black pants with fire patterns on the bottom. Okay, no surprise there.
"What's with that thing?" Demyx asked pointing to a turquoise wrist band on Axel's left arm.
"Oh, this? I wear it to calm my mood - doctor's orders." he answered holding said wristband up and staring at it. "Ah. I feel calm. Like the ocean." he trailed off. "Oh noes! There's a storm coming!" he exclaimed, suddenly panicking. "Abandon ship! Abandon ship!" he called as he made a leaping motion and made swimming gestures in midair.
"Snap out of it, Axel!" Yuffie yelled, shaking the Nobody back and forth.
Axel blinked. "Thank you, Yuffie. You saved me from certain damnation and so, as a reward, I present you with this token of my gratitude." Axel pulled a shiny penny out of his pocket and placed it in Yuffie's hand.
"Uhm…You're welcome?" she said uncertainly as Axel walked back to watch as Demyx revealed what he was wearing. The Melodious Nocturne was dressed in a light blue shirt with tan cargo pants.
"Move out of the way, Dem-dem! The great Xigbar is coming through!" Xigbar shoved Demyx aside and took his cloak off. The Freelance Shooter was wearing black cargo pants and a light purple shirt that said 'Fun in the sun' with a picture of Santa Clause holding a wiener dog while on a surfboard. "Isn't my shirt wicked awesome? I got it at a flee market for $7!"
Yeah…right at this point, the author lost interest and didn't give a damn about what the Organization members were wearing, but she was determined to finish this chapter anyway.
So, now the only two members that still had their cloaks on were Xemnas and Vexen. "Come on! I want to know what you're wearing!" Sora pleaded giving the scientist his best puppy dog look.
"Hmm, let me think…for you? How about…NO."
"Aww, don't be like that." Axel said. Using his special powers of smexyness, Axel got Vexen out of his cloak. He was wearing a white scientific looking suit with exciting pocket protectors! How unexpected (and unoriginal)! Now, everyone gathered around Xemnas as he was the only one still wearing his cloak.
"I don't care what you do or say, I will not take my cloak off." But sadly, within a few moments, Xemnas' cloak was off, revealing what he was wearing. He had ripped Abercrombie jeans and a tight fitting pink shirt that read 'I'm a Barbie girl!'
Silence. "Um, you see…my other clothes were in the wash and um…this was the only…one…" he trailed off, tomato faced. There were about 3.4 more seconds of silence before everyone burst into laughter. "Don't laugh at meee!" Xemnas wailed as he ran away, crying.
"That was an unusually amusing article of clothing." Zexion chuckled.
"Yo yo yo! Look out for that missile!" Cloud exclaimed, pointing up in the air.
"Did he just- did he actually say that?" Yuffie gaped. The group looked up in response to the man's exclamation and saw a giant missile headed for them. They all ducked in cover, but the missle hit the ground and showered them with dirt--no big boom. They gathered around it warily. As they approached it, it started to rumble, though instead of blowing up, it shot out a piece of paper.
"What do you want to bet that's our next challenge?" Kairi asked. They all looked at the paper intently, not a single one making a move to pick up the paper.
"Get on with it!" a group of passing soldiers yelled, waving their swords. (Think Monty Python, my children)
