Helping VI, VII, Watchers XI, XII
………………………………
There was a silence that reigned over the cabin. No one moved, no one said anything. It was so pressing, that Namine couldn't take it anymore.
"Oh My God!" Namine's eyes widened and she took a step back.
Pink hair cascading down.
Blond bangs, almost antenna looking, fell in front of sharp bone cheeks.
"Marluxia."
"Larxene."
Marluxia turned and smirked at Roxas. Larxene snaked her arm around Marluxia's, smirking at Riku.
"Nice to see you again, really." She said, a bit too sweetly.
"Of course, we can see you anytime, but still." Marluxia shrugged.
………………..
It was unbelievable. They couldn't possible be there, standing in front of them.
"Zexion!" Demyx's eyes widened, freezing on the spot.
"Saix!" Xehanort froze up.
Axel frowned, shaking out of his stupor to cross his arms in front of his chest.
"Why and how are you two here?" Axel looked at them, suspiciously.
"We are Watchers." Saix spoke, voice monotone, not looking at them.
"How?" Demyx asked, voice almost breaking.
"We were given a chance to redeem ourselves." Zexion spoke, eyes looking around the room.
"Why are you here? Why now?" Xehanort asked.
"No one, but Guardians, is allowed here. You better have a good reason." Quistis hissed.
………………………
"Watchers, that is what we do and are." Marluxia shrugged, stuffing his hands into his coat pockets.
"You are dead, then?" Yuffie asked, glaring at them.
"Yes, kind of like the Guardians, except we are Watchers." Larxene sneered.
"Uhu." Sora glared, crossing his arms in front of his chest and watching them suspiciously.
"We are recorders. We record every thing that happens in the universe. That is our job."
………………………….
"What do you mean? Like historians?" Demyx asked, trying to understand everything.
"Yes." Saix answered.
"How come we hadn't seen you before?" Rinoa asked, unsure if to believe them or not.
"We are not allowed to show ourselves. It messes up with the balance." Zexion explained.
"Why are you here now?" Zell asked, his baby blue eyes swirling with confusion.
"We are here to help." Saix answered, voice still as monotone as ever.
………………………………
"I thought you said you were not allowed to help?" Tifa scoffed.
"Neither were the Guardians; however, they fought for you guys, did they not?" Marluxia pointed out.
"What a fight it was too. I was in charge of it, let me tell ya, if you ever, which you probably won't, but if you ever get a chance, read my book. It is a lot more interesting than any of the others." Larxene said, smugly.
"Yeah right, the only reason you believe it is more interesting is because you always, and I mean, always record fights." Marluxia scoffed.
"Why are you here!?" Sephiroth snarled, getting annoyed.
"We are here to help, because we cannot allow the darkness to win and we were bored." Marluxia smirked.
"Especially because we were bored." Larxene grinned.
……………………………………
"The balance was broken once you all broke the rules." Zexion muttered, turning to look at them.
"That allowed us to be able to materialized and help. We have information that may come in handy." Saix turned to look at them as well.
"That's wonderful!" Demyx smiled.
"We can only give information. It is not a lot, for we have a whole castle full of records, we still looking." Zexion informed them, bringing out a book.
………………………………………
"Here you go, since you are the ancient one in the room." Larxene smirked, throwing the book over to Aerith.
"It is the original scripture of the prophecy. You'll find all you need to know about it, and trust me, there are some things you need to know." Marluxia looked at Leon.
"What about this evil darkness thing?!" Namine spoke up, a bit quietly.
"Namine! How have you been? Oh, we are still searching on that." Larxene shrugged, before winking at the poor girl.
………………………………………
"Are you going to help us fight?" Xehanort asked.
"We are not allowed." Saix spoke, voice a bit warmer as he looked at Xehanort.
"Neither are we." Axel scoffed.
"We have research and many other things to record." Zexion replied.
"We have to go." Saix muttered, walking past them with Zexion following.
"Wait!" Demyx called out, rushing after Zexion. Zexion stopped but did not turn around.
"Will I see you again?" Demyx asked, brokenly, eyes watering.
"Maybe."
"What if we loose? What if we need help?!" Demyx asked, reaching out for Zexion's arm.
"Demy." Zexion turned and sighed, reaching out to caress Demyx's cheek.
"You will not loose. If you need me, I'll be there. I promise." Zexion muttered, smiling softly before disappearing. Demyx looked down, hands shaking.
"Did I miss something?" came the acidic tone. Demyx whirled around, meeting Axel's blank look.
"Axel."
But Axel did not stay, he vanished as well. Demyx winced.
"He's like a brother, that is all." Demyx muttered, as he looked at the rest.
"Give him sometime Demyx. He needs to calm down." Xehanort sighed.
"I guess you won't be telling your angel that your heart sped at the sight of a memory?" Rinoa looked at Xehanort, worriedly.
"Good thing about memories, they are just that, memories." Xehanort shrugged, voice laced with tension.
………………………………………
Aerith opened the book and flipped through it. It was a beautiful piece of art. The writing, drawings, and it was so well kept, it looked new.
"Yes, beautiful is it no? Glad you are enjoying it!" Larxene smirked.
"We have to get going. We'll be seeing each other again, you can bet on it!" Marluxia winked at Roxas.
"You are going to help us fight?" Leon spoke up, finally.
"Maybe, if you need it." Larxene nodded at Leon, before vanishing.
"We'll be keeping an eye out. We'll be there, just call for us." Marluxia nodded as well, before vanishing.
"That was eventful." Cid grumbled from the top of the bridge.
"What does the book say, Aerith?" Cloud frowned, looking at the book in her hands, worriedly.
"I don't know yet. Give me a few hours." Aerith smiled apologetically, before walking off to her cabin.
"Come, Leon. Let's try it again." Cloud muttered. Leon nodded, closing his eyes.
………………………………………..
………………………………………..
Aerith frowned as she sat back on her bed; the book in her lap. She was an ancient, did not mean she could easily read the book. She was descendant of them, but still, it took her a while to translate. It kind of made her lonely, to know she was the last and only ancient. Then again, Leon had thought he had been the last one as well, right? Look how that turned out.
She shook her head and brought her attention back to the book.
……………………………………….
"Aku?" Demyx walked around the halls, not knowing where Axel could have gone. Finally, after much walking, he decided to check with Leon.
Leon sighed, feeling himself grow tired. What he found amazing, was that no matter how much light he used, he always had light. Cloud had the same thing with the darkness; it was always there. A sudden light energy alerted him to the presence.
"Hey, Leon. Cloud."
"Demyx, where's Axel?" Cloud asked, noticing that Demyx was all by himself. Leon opened his eyes, and looked at Demyx, worriedly. He could see the teary eyes and the way his eyes didn't shine, like they usually did. He looked a bit pale as well.
"What happened?" Leon asked. Demyx sighed, dropping down on to Cloud's bed, being closer to it. Leon and Cloud had moved into their cabin, since every one had become rowdy outside and they really did not want to deal with it at the moment. The two were sitting right in front of the door, in the middle of the cabin.
"I saw someone again and I think Aku took it the wrong way." Demyx muttered.
"I haven't seen him, but we've been here for a while." Cloud sighed. Demyx nodded and stood up.
"I'll leave you two alone now." Demyx teased as he walked out.
…………………………………………..
Xehanort sighed as he stepped up next to Sephiroth. Cid had gone out to eat, so they were alone at the bridge. Cid did not trust anyone to fly the ship, not even Sora who'd gone all over the universe in a ship.
"Some of your friends were here." Sephiroth spoke up.
"Oh? Who was here?" Xehanort frowned, body tensing up.
"Pink hair and a blond girl, Marluxia and Larxene were their names I believe." Sephiroth tipped his head to the side, glancing at Xehanort and noticing how tense he was.
"Oh." Xehanort relaxed a bit, but just a bit. Sephiroth noticed.
"Whom you wanted to see?" he asked, coolly.
"No one." Xehanort snapped.
"Defensive much." Sephiroth growled, noticing how Xehanort was tense and not looking at him. He was holding something back and it aggravated Sephiroth. He wasn't sure why, but he'd rather not think of Xehanort wanting to see anyone else. It made his blood boil, and that was dangerous thoughts. Thoughts that he, Sephiroth, could not ponder upon, ever.
……………………………………………..
Aerith frowned as she looked down at the book. It couldn't be right; then again, she knew prophecies. She should have expected to see it there, and she did, but reading it did not make it better.
"No, there must be more." Aerith spoke determinedly, shaking her head before going back to reading.
………………………………………………
"Aku?" Demyx made his way to Axel. He was in the storage room, sitting on one of the crates full of oil for the ship.
"Hm." Axel didn't look up.
"There was one thing I would never forget, from back in the Castle that Never Was." Demyx spoke, stopping right next to Axel.
"I was playing in one of the living rooms, but you were just looking at Roxas, who was looking out the window into the raining skies." Demyx sat down next to Axel.
"It was a song I had written, and it was special to me. You did not care, did not pay attention, you did not even know I was there." Demyx remembered, bitterly.
"Demyx." Axel began but was stopped by Demyx placing a finger on Axel's lips.
"It hurt, to see you just stand up and walk towards Roxas. He was there, and I had not noticed, until he clapped. He actually clapped and said that I should work on the ending and on playing it with higher notes." Demyx smiled, his eyes glazed for he was locked in a memory.
"He said it had been good, and that I was actually good for something. From then on, I played for him. He would listen and comment, but was never mean about it. Every time, I would go to him, because he understood in his own cold, serious way." Demyx explained, eyes tearing.
"He was like a brother. I know I did not have a heart back then, but it felt like I did. He protected me, and tried to help as much as he could. He was 'Zexy' to me and I was 'Demy' to him. He would muss my hair and I would mess with his books. He was the only family I had." Demyx voice was soft, sad yet happy.
"Brothers." Axel muttered.
"Yeah, he was my big brother." Demyx chuckled; eyes still shining with unshed tears.
"I'm not use to sharing." Axel grumbled, causing Demyx to laugh and hug Axel.
"Just remember I love you, and you'll be alright." Demyx kissed Axel on the cheek. Axel froze, because this was the first time Demyx had said the 'L' word. Demyx noticed it, eyes widening and body tensing. He pulled back, face bright red.
"You love me?" Axel turned to look at Demyx, hope shining in his eyes.
"I…"
"Every one! Get your butts to the deck! We are a few minutes from landing!" Cid hollered from the intercom. Demyx immediately stood up, tugging Axel off to the deck. Anything to avoid answering the question.
…………………………….
"Oh, finally we are getting off of here." Tifa sighed, running a hand through her hair.
"Yes, finally." Sephiroth grunted.
"I'm glad as well." Quistis muttered, as she appeared, followed by the others.
"You guys! I've read some of the prophecy, and we need to talk." Aerith came out.
"What you find out?" Cloud asked as he and Leon made their way over to them.
"Squall!" Rinoa grinned, hanging on to his arm while Selphie hanged onto his other arm.
"What you find out?" Leon ignored them and looked at Aerith.
"Well."
"Is it bad?" Demyx asked, walking in with a very happy Axel.
"Maybe if you all shut up, she'll be able to tell us." Xehanort huffed.
Aerith was about to explain when a sudden tremor ran through the ship.
"Hmm, we are about to land!" Cid hollered from up the bridge, as another tremor shook the ship and the landscape began to change. Slowly but surely, there was Twilight Town.
"We are here!" He called out, turning the ship off.
"Great, I'm stiff all over." Riku grumbled as he opened the hatch and made his way outside, followed by every one else. They took a deep breath, even Cid.
"I know people here." Sora piped up, and motioned them to follow him.
"So do I…" Roxas sighed.
"Don't you think people will find it weird to see a group of people walking together?" Leon asked as he realized that there was a number of people in their group.
"Who the hell are you?" Came a snarky remark from behind. Quistis' eyes widened as she whirled around.
"Seifer?" Quistis looked at him, pained.
