Part two

Axel

Axel woke up and heard that cars were hustling and bustling in the darkness of the night. Axel was still tired and thoroughly worn out. He held Reno's sleeping body against his own; with mixed feelings in his consciousness. Reno was warm, calm, and somewhat innocent. He lay with Reno for a little while; stroking his hair and face gently. He closed his eyes, feeling at ease for the moment and he sighed deeply and thought. He defiantly couldn't go with Reno and defy the organization. He had to go back to the organization XIII, as he had something to take care of. The organization has gone down to only five members; himself, Demyx, Xemnas, Larxene, and Roxas. For now Riku was in the organization and had most control over it.

He slowly and gently lifted Reno up off of him and laid him down, opposite himself. To his surprise, Reno didn't respond to the movement. Axel slipped out and quickly put on his clothes. He zipped up his robe and went over to Reno who stayed sound asleep. He gazed at Reno for a minute, not wanting to leave at all, however, he concealed his face and disappeared in an envelope of darkness he devised himself. He reappeared back into the castle of the organization headquarters; Castle Oblivion. He slumped over and rolled his eyes as he walked in the dark corridors in silence.

"Axel," He heard a familiar voice call.

"Demyx?" Axel looked around in the darkness.

Demyx flipped on some lights that dimly lighted the stone walls. Demyx and Larxene appeared in front of him. Axel crossed his arms and looked dull, "What's goin' on?"

Demyx smiled sarcastically, "Uh…well, Vexen isn't here anymore."

"Oh really?" Replied Axel, uncaring.

"Okay cut the crap Axel…we know you did it…" Stated Larxene, putting her hands on her hips.

"And where did you get that assumption?" Axel countered.

Larxene rolled her eyes and Demyx stepped forward, "You've had a grudge on him for the last year…"

Axel smirked, "So what if I did?"

Demyx shrugged, "He was getting on my nerves anyway…"

"Yeah, he's the one who brought that brat Riku into the organization!" Exclaimed Larxene.

Axel shrugged, "I just didn't like him." He said in a cool voice.

"So, what does this mean for us?"

Axel shrugged, reluctant to answer.
"I know," Larxene began, "WE can take over and have those imposters eating out of the palm of our hands!" She laughed.

"Wait, what about Xemnas?" Asked Demyx.

"He'll be a part of it," Larxene crossed her arms, "The more the better…"

"I'm not so sure about that," Axel warned, but in a clearly tired tone of voice.

"Why?" Larxene inquired, a little snobbish.

"Yeah, he seems alright, he hasn't been eliminated yet, so he must be good for us." Said Demyx, a little demanding.

Axel shrugged, "I just have a bad feeling about him…it seems like the only thing he wants is to have the organization all to himself."

Larxene and Demyx laughed.

"I'm serious you guys…" Said Axel, getting somewhat agitated.

Larxene stopped laughing and shook her head, she looked straight at Axel, "Axel, don't you want to make a new organization?" She came close to him and touched his chest, her eyes burying themselves into his very soul.

He wasn't fazed by her, but answered, "Of course…"

"Hey, what about Roxas?" Asked Demyx.

Larxene turned her attention to Demyx, "He's no good…"

Axel felt an adrenaline rush as he heard Roxas' name, "Oh, and why is that?" He spat out, "you clearly said the more the better…"

Larxene and Demyx looked baffled by Axel's reaction.

"Axel," Demyx laughed nervously, "He's part of Sora…And he turned his back on the organization."

Axel looked down.

"I know he's been your friend and all, but, times have changed…" Said Larxene, indifferent.

"I know…" Axel half whispered.

"Then it's settled," Demyx said, "All of us and Xemnas."

Larxene nodded in agreement. Axel rolled his eyes and sighed, "Fine, but keep an eye out on Xemnas."

Demyx smiled and shook his head, "Okay, but truly, he can be trusted…No need to worry."

"Whatever." Axel walked away from them.

Larxene and Demyx lost most of their trust for Axel.

Axel walked down the hallway and came upon a cracked door with light streaming from it. It said Ansem's Laboratory. Usually it's locked and bolted so people couldn't get in, to do insane experiments. But now it was open and someone was in it. Axel was curious, so he walked in. There, he saw beakers and test tubes filled with bubbling chemicals and smoke bellowing out of test tubes. He saw Xemnas in a white lab coat, vigorously working, reading manuals and Ansem's reports and notes.

"Hey!" Axel leaned against the doorway and crossed his arms.

Xemnas jumped and turned around to face Axel, "So, it's you…"

Axel came into the room, "So…Whatcha' doin'?"

Xemnas looked utterly furious; his orange eyes burned into Axel, but Axel wasn't fazed by Xemnas, nor afraid.

"Well," Axel began, sarcasm lacing his voice, "I just came in here to ask if you want to create a new organization with us; the remaining members."

Xemnas thought about this for a moment, he than looked at Axel, "Sounds excellent." His deep voice echoed through the silent room, aside from the overflowing beakers.

Axel crossed his arms waiting for the final decision.

"Of course…" Xemnas smirked, "There is a condition I must ask of you though,"

Axel rolled his eyes, "What?"

Xemnas crossed his arms and thought about his condition, "Oh yeah, I'm in charge."

Axel bit his lip and frowned, his suspicions came true about Xemnas. He looked down, "Fine…"

"Great…my first order is to eliminate Riku." Said Xemnas.

Axel looked up, "Okay." He liked where this was going, he hand a grudge against Riku; all of the organization did.

Axel crossed his arms, "And when will this little 'condition' be initiated?"

Xemnas chuckled at this, "As soon as possible."

Axel smirked, "Let's take him out."

In a few days time, Demyx, Larxene, Axel, and Xemnas were all facing Riku in a fight.

"You are not a part of the original thirteen members of the organization." Xemnas crossed his arms.

Riku rolled his eyes, "You are ignorant and you must die."

Xemnas threw his head back and laughed, "You are not Ansem!"

"You're Riku." Said Axel taking out his weapon as fire erupted around him.

"Yeah!" Added Demyx as he took out his sitar and started strumming bubbles from it.

Riku looked down and sighed, "I am Ansem."

"Oh, you got it all wrong…I'm the true Ansem! Ansem's apprentice!" Shouted Xemnas.

"Riku…" A little girl's voice suddenly sounded throughout the area. She appeared suddenly in front of Riku. She had blonde hair and held a sketch pad in front of her.

"Namine." Larxene cringed.

"Well, well, well," Axel walked forward, "If it isn't Riku's girlfriend."

"Don't hurt Riku!" Exclaimed Namine.

"You little witch!" Larxene ran forward, weapon at hand. Riku blocked her attack and Larxene jumped back.

"So, you are Riku." Axel smirked.

Riku straightened up, "I have taken the path of darkness and I am Ansem."

Xemnas sighed and shook his head, "We've got to knock some sense into this child."

Axel and Demyx stepped forward; fire and water. Riku looked back at Namine who in turn had a grave expression. He than looked at the rest of the organization members who stared him down with a vengeance. A sword materialized in his hands. He went at the organization with full speed, the rest of the organization members charged Riku.

"NO!" Shouted Namine, over them.

Just as Riku and the organization members were about to clash, a figure appeared in between their feud, holding two key blades in each hand against them all.

Axel let out a gasp. It was organization member XIII.

"Roxas…" Axel whispered and sure enough as the figure lifted his head to reveal those blue eyes, it was Roxas. Axel's weapons dematerialized and he ran up to Roxas. He put a hand on Roxas's shoulders, Roxas like a child in Axel's arms. Axel looked worried and concerned. Did Roxas even remember Axel? Even faintly? Axel searched out anything in Roxas's eyes for even a trace of memory. Roxas looked into Axel's eyes with a determination.

"Axel…" He whispered.

Axel couldn't help but suddenly smile. Roxas remembered. Larxene rolled her eyes. Demyx, and Xemnas were confused and Riku, surprised.

"You-you remember?" Axel gulped, shaking with excitement.

Roxas nodded, slightly. Axel bear hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. Roxas blushed in confusion. Axel knew that Roxas doesn't remember a whole lot.

"Axel, I must go." Roxas looked serious.

Axel's smile faded, "why?"

Roxas looked down, "I don't want to be a nobody…I want to meet my true self…I want to have a heart." Roxas began to walk over beside Riku. Axel looked away, clearly upset. Namine walked up to the other side of Riku.

"I'll see you around, Axel." Roxas opened a portal to darkness.

"Wait!" Axel ran toward them, "please, don't forget me." He looked at Roxas.

Roxas smiled and nodded.

"Hey! They're disappearing!" Demyx shouted as Xemnas and Larxene darted forward.

"NO!" Axel put fire, blocking their way.

Axel looked back at them, Riku smiled, "You were always the strongest."

Roxas, Namine, and Riku all smiled and disappeared in the darkness. Axel turned around to the fire shield; he had to disappear from the organization members. He opened a portal and disappeared, the fire shield disintegrated as fast as he left. He reappeared back at his house and collapsed in exhaustion. He looked to the ground and thought about all of the things that had just took place, Roxas remembered himbut Roxas has betrayed the organization and he just did as well. He sighed and shook his head, coming to the realization that he had just betrayed the organization. He got up and changed out of his robe. He looked at the black robe with sadness; he wasn't part of the organization anymore. He wanted to be somebody, just as Roxas does; he wanted a heart. He felt a sudden anger cross him; he clutched the robe in his hand and descended to his backyard which consisted of an acre of grass land and a fence around it. He threw the robe onto the grass and snapped his fingers. It burst into flames instantly. He watched as it burned for a second before he came to realize what he was doing. He darted forward and stomped the flames out. He picked it up as it sizzled in his hands. He sighed as he observed the now tattered remains of his organization robe. He rolled it up and went inside to his bedroom and stuffed it in a drawer to never see it again. He closed it and collapsed in bed to get a long deserved sleep.

He awoke the next morning to find that Reno was standing over him with his arms crossed and a very agitated look about him. Axel sat up in bed, half tired and half angry, "What are you doing here?"

"Look, you gotta' come back with me." Said Reno.

Axel sighed, "No…Reno…"
Reno blushed when Axel said his name; he never said his name before. However, he still held onto his anger, "You know what? Y-you n-need to come with m-me!"

Axel listened innocently, with his hands together like a school boy at his desk listening to the teacher. This made Reno give up. Truthfully, Axel actually enjoyed playing with Reno's feelings. He actually started liking Reno as a person, not just lust for him. But he couldn't go with Reno to the incorporation as much he disliked the organization right now; he had to get away from Reno. He got up and got dressed quickly in the presence of Reno.

"So, you finally want to corporate and come with me?" Reno crossed his arms.

Axel looked at him and gave him a whimsical smile that made Reno blush, "I'll see you around…Reno."

Reno stood gaping as Axel opened a portal to darkness and disappeared through it, Reno fallowed close behind, "Wait!" He shouted as he descended into the darkness. He stumbled to the ground on the other side. He stood up quickly and noticed that Axel stood beside him looking ahead, clearly angered. Axel saw Xemnas against Sora, Donald, Goofy, King Mickey, Kirie, Riku; in his real form, and…Roxas. He was fighting against Xemnas? What did Xemnas do?

They were on the balcony of head quarters looking over Kingdom Hearts. Reno gasped, "Sora!"

He took out a metal club and it charged with lightning. Axel barely acknowledged Reno's presence. Reno ran after Sora.

"What? Reno!" Axel fallowed.
