As this was the story I pulled out of a hat out of about 20 others, this is the one I'm updating at the moment. *shrug* Hey, at least my new system is working. Now, let's go meet Electric Babe. Shall we?

.***********.

"I'm telling you, it was the same boy who saved me 10 years ago!" Riku argued, glaring at his friends.

"Riku, merpeople aren't real," Zexion said, looking up at his friend through his hair.

"Then what saved us from that storm?" Axel asked, leaning against the back of Zexion's chair.

Zexion sighed. "I don't know," he replied. But in the back of his mind, he could still picture the face of the person who sang to him when he was saved. "I'll see you guys later," he finally said, pushing himself up and walking out of the library, a book in hand.

Zexion walked down the hallways and into his room, closing the door behind him and sitting down on the edge of his bed. He closed his eyes, picturing what had happened a few hours ago.

*ZEXION'S FLASHBACK*

"What would I give to live where you are? What would I pay to stay here beside you? What would I do to see you smiling at me?"

Zexion's eyes fluttered slightly, his head feeling swamped from being tossed into the ocean's choppy waters and nearly drowning. He heard someone singing in the most beautiful voice he'd ever heard before above him. His eyes opened slightly, seeing a head and a male chest that looked like they belonged to a teenager.

"Where would we walk?" he kept singing, not noticing Zexion was watching him, "Where would we run? If we could stay all day in the sun…"

Zexion tried to focus better on the face above him. He had dirty blonde hair spiked up at the top and left down at the bottom, strands of it framing his face and highlighting his teal-colored eyes, some even hanging down in front of them.

"Just you and me," the mysterious boy continued, a smile on his face, "and I can be…Part of your world."

The boy finally noticed that he was awake and looked around in a slight panic before jumping back into the ocean. Zexion sat up slightly and saw a blue tail disappear into the water.

*END FLASHBACK*

Zexion groaned, falling back on his bed with his arm covering his eyes. "They're not real," he tried to convince himself. "They're not real. They're not real. They're not real." But then, the image of the boy flashed into his mind and his voice singing to him. "They are real."

Axel walked out to the balcony of the room he was staying in, pulling a lighter out of his coat pocket. He flicked the flame on and off, thinking about his savior from the storm.

*AXEL'S FLASHBACK*

Axel groaned lightly, feeling the sand he was lying on and seeming to sense someone looking at him. He opened his eyes a little and looked into the most beautiful pair of baby blue eyes he'd ever seen. He focused a little more and saw more of the face the eyes belonged to. Short gold hair sticking up on one side and flipped out slightly where it stopped halfway down his neck. He couldn't have been more than 15, 16 at the most.

The teen noticed he was awake and jumped away. Axel lifted his head slightly and saw the very tip of a golden tail disappear into the water before he lowered his head and closed his eyes again to try and clear his head.

*END FLASHBACK*

Axel sighed, flicking on the flame and staring at it for a few seconds before his attention was diverted back to the ocean.

Riku paced back and forth in the library, running a hand through his hair as he thought. His memories replayed over and over in his head as he paced, never stopping.

*RIKU'S FLASHBACK*

Riku groaned, coughing up sea water. His eyes opened ever so slightly and he looked into the face of the boy who'd saved him 10 years ago. Spiked brown hair framed a boy's face, highlighting his sky blue eyes. The teen seemed to notice him waking up and seemed to panic slightly, eyes darting between the beach and the ocean behind him. He finally jumped away back into the ocean, leaving Riku alone on the beach with the fresh memory of the boy who saved him.

*END FLASHBACK*

Riku sighed, sitting back in Zexion's chair before closing his eyes, the memories still replaying in his head.

"Demyx, what are you doing?"

Demyx looked back behind him and saw Sora and Roxas swimming up to him. "What are you doing?" Roxas hissed, glaring at his older brother. "Better yet, where are you going?"

"Promise not to tell?" the blonde asked.

"Fine," Roxas reluctantly agreed.

"I'm going to see Larxene," Demyx admitted.

"But, Demyx—!" Sora tried to argue with his brother, but he couldn't seem to get any more words out.

"Why on earth do you want to see her?" Roxas growled. "She's a sea witch."

"I need her help," Demyx said softly, bowing his head. "I can't stay under the sea any more. I need to know if she can help me get on land. I can't stand it anymore. Not knowing what's up there. Not being able to talk to Zexion. Not being able to hear their music."

"And what if she can't help and ends up hurting you?" Roxas asked, crossing his arms.

"I have to try," Demyx replied, starting to swim again. "You guys can come if you want."

Sora and Roxas looked at each other before Roxas groaned softly, both mermen swimming after their older brother.

Shortly, the three brothers arrived at a large rock formation, hollowed out in multiple places and covered in vines and seaweed. "You ready?" Demyx asked, looking at his younger brothers as they floated just outside.

Roxas and Sora nodded, the brunette holding his twin's hand as they all swam into the lair.

"Aw, lookie here," a feminine voice called out from hiding. "King Xemnas's little boys. And what brings you boys to my humble abode?"

Demyx, Roxas, and Sora floated in front of a large pot, their hands crossed behind their backs and their heads bowed. They looked up when they saw figures come closer. A tall woman with a shark tail and fin, her chest covered in gray material. She had short yellow hair, two pieces sticking up like antenna, her teal eyes showing her amusement. Beside her, a shorter girl with a dolphin tail, her chest covered in blue-gray material. She had shoulder-length burgundy hair and blue-gray eyes.

Larxene the sea witch and her helper, Kairi.
