War still wages on.

It was just complete chaos in the arena. The whole place looked like a battlefield. In one corner you had Larxene and Axel, fighting side by side against Luxord and Saix. And in the other corner, Sora and Demyx were squaring off against Marluxia and Vexen. As they were fighting, Axel tried to tell Larxene something. But since Saix kept slashing at him he could only say very little.

"Larxene...I have...To tell you." Axel tried to say, dodging Saix's swings.

"What...is it...honey." Larxene replied, dodging Luxords dancing cards.

"I want...you to...I want you to."

"Axel sweetheart could you wait until the fights over?"

"Sure...why not -_-"

Axel and Saix were equally matched. They dodged, kicked, punched, shot fire and wind and scratched at each other. But being the toughest of the members, neither refused to admit defeat. Saix could only laugh at Axel as they fought. "heheheheheHAHAHAHAHA!" Saix laughed hysterically at Axel. A look of confusion replaced Axel's calm expression.

"What is so damn funny Saix?" Axel questioned.

"Your a bigger fool than I thought Axel." Saix insulted. He pointed to himself and and chuckled. Suddenly, Saix's body lit up a Blue fiery aura. Sora took his attention off Marluxia and examined Saix. His eyes widened with horror. Sora knew what Saix was about to do.

"AXEL, GET AWAY FROM SAIX!" Sora yelled.

Axel looked at Sora. "Why?" he asked, scratching the back of his head. the lights in the arena started to dim fast. Saix (still surrounded by dark blue aura) started to levitate in mid-air. His claymor was spinning in back of him with great speed. Axel didn't know what was going on.

"Sora, what is he doing...How can I stop it?" Axel interrogated.

"You can't. Saix, he's...he is powering up. Good thing it doesn't last long," Sora replied. "But the bad news is...he can charge up when ever he want's." Axel looked at Saix. He knew that if his friends stayed here, They would get badly hurt...or worse.

"Sora...I want you, Larxene and Demyx to get out of here. I don't want you guys to get hurt." Axel said.

"Sure thing." Sora replied.

Luxord, Vexen and Marluxia had the same idea. "I agree with Axel. Let those two finish fight it out. We can all take a break and watch from the from the second tower." Luxord suggested. Marluxia and Vexen nodded and dissapeared through their own portals. Axel looked at larxene and demyx and summoned a portal.

"Go...now." Axel ordered.

Sora and demyx walked through the portal. Larxene was about to step through, she took one last look at Axel and ran up to him. She pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Axel leaned into the kiss. the two locked lips for twelve seconds. Larxene broke the kiss and leaned her mouth towards Axels ear. She held on to Axel's hands.

"Be safe...and come back to me alive." Larxene whispered in Axel's ear.

"I will...I promise." Axel whispered back.

Larxene let go of Axel's hand and vanished into the portal. She met Sora and demyx on the tower along with Marluxia, Luxord and Vexen. Sora walked up to Larxene and the two stared at the arena from the tower. "Sora...he's gonna' be okay." Larxene muttered. Sora placed his hand over his heart. "I know." He replied. Everyone on the tower stared at the arena. Waiting for the two beings two brawl.

"Okay Saix, the kids are in bed so let's so let's get this date started." Axel said.

"I couldn't agree more Axel," Saix replied. He dropped back down to the grown. He was drowned in blue fiery aura. Axel didn't care how much stronger he was, he was determined to take this creep out once and for all. "Are you going to make the first move axel" Saix walked towards Axel. Axel did the same. Soon there walks broke out into sprints. Both men had determination in ther eyes.

"AXEL!"

"SAIX" Both men yelled as they clashed.

Axel landed the first punch to Saix's stomach followed by a kick to his ribs. Saix bent over in pain, but he recovered quickly and fought back. He kneed Axel in his stomach so hard he coughed up blood. Saix continued to knee him until his feet was soaked in blood. Axel then grabbed Saix's knee and threw him to the ground. Axel tried to slash Saix with his chakrams, But the aura surrounding him was so strong, it acted as a shield. Saix got up and swung his claymore at Axel. Fortunately, Axel was able to dodge the attack. However, when Saix slammed his weapon into the ground, it created a massive wave of blue fire that spread throughout the entire arena. Axel and Saix were surrounded by blue fire that stretched high over there heads. Saix laughed his head off, leaving Axel to be confused as ever.

"What is Saix?" Axel asked.

"Hehehe...try to put out the fire Axel. I'm sure you'll get a nasty suprise." Saix replied.

Axel's chakrams began to spin around him. Faster and faster, the chakrams danced around him with speed to match a graceful gazelle. Suddenly, red fire shot up from the ground and covered Saix's blue fire. The fires fought for dominance over the arena. But in the end, Saix's fire prove to be better. The two men continued to fight for hours. Axel began to grow weak. he knew he couldn't keep this up much longer. He ran up to Saix and pinned him to the nearest wall. the two looked into each other eyes with intense hate. "Axel...I got to know. Why did you betray the organization? How could you possibly choose friendship over unlimited power?" Saix interrogated.

"Because...friendship is the source of my power. It's thanks Sora and...Roxas...those guys give me hope," Axel replied. He backed away from Saix. "Listen Saix, why do we fight? What would all the fighting do for you?"

Saix looked at the ground. "It would make me great. All the people I can enslave...All the worlds I can control. It would be...be."

"It would be terrible Saix. And besides, do you think Xemnas would let YOU take over all the worlds by yourself?" Axel replied. Saix stood in silence for a brief moment. He lifted his head and looked at Axel. " Saix...remember it. Remember the good time we shared before we were turned into nobodies." Saix's eyes widened. He DID remember. He remembered how he and Lea would always venture outside of Hollow Bastion. He even remembered the times they had ate ice cream together. Saix dropped his weapon in shock. He remembered it all.

"Axel you were...you were my best...friend." Saix murmured.

"That's right Saix, remember. Just keep remembering." Axel replied.

"Axel...I don't know what to do anymore," Saix said, shaking uncontrollably. He was frightened. His memories kept pouring into his mind like a waterfall. "All these memories...I...I'm so sorry Axle. " Saix dropped to his knees. Tears began to fill his eyes. Was this what having emotions feel like? Axel held out his hand. Saix looked at it and then looked at Axel. They both smiled at each other with delight.

"Saix, if you want to make things better, you could join us. You...you have a heart now bro. you can live your own life." Axel said, picking Saix up.

"I...I can. I will live my own life. Thank you...friend."

"your welcome Saix. Now let's put out this blue fire."

"Agreed."

Saix used the last of his lunar power to vanquish the fire. The whole arena was destroyed beyond repair. The only thing that wasn't damaged was the food court. I wonder why? Saix and Axel looked at each other. "Saix, let's go stop Xemnas from destroying Sora home. Axel insisted. Saix nodded and opened up a portal.

"Let's rally the troops then." Saix replied.

The second tower

Everyone was waiting for Axel or Saix to arrive. They were bored out of their minds. Suddenly, a portal opened up. Everyone immediately sprang to there feet.

"Who is it? Who won the fight?" Demyx asked impatiently.

As soon as he that, two dark beings emerged from the portal of darkness. Everyone stared in aw at the beings. As they started stepping closer and closer out of the portal, their facial details became more clear. It was none other than Axel and Saix themselves. Larxene saw him and immediately ran to him. tears filling her eyes. "Your ok...YOUR REALLY OK!" Larxene cried, hugging Axel with much needed love. Axel hugged her back and the two began to kiss. Demyx and Sora looked away in disgust while Saix laughed. Not to mock Axel, But to show his happiness for him. Saix turned and walked over to his team of evildoers. Marluxia got off his mech and rushed towards Saix.

"What happened? Did...did you win." Marluxia questioned.

"No. I need you guys to listen and listen good." Saix said, inhaling and exhaling.

Marluxia,Vexen and Luxord surrounded Saix, waiting for him to respond. Saix slowly opened his mouth. " Listen guys, this is important. While me and Axel were fighting in the arena, he bought up certain topic. What WOULD we do if we had enough power to conquer worlds? Saix explained. "Do you honestly think Xemnas would SHARE the power? We all know how he works." Vexen, Marluxia and Luxord looked at the ground in disappointment.

"So...what should we do?" Vexen asked in a sad manner.

"We need to take the fight him. If we all work together, we can defeat Xemnas with ease. Why not use all of our powers to beat him." Axel suggested, still cuddling Larxene. "I need to know...MARLUXIA, VEXEN,LUXORD...I need you. if you want better lives you'll help us take down Xemnas. Are you guys in?" Vexen and Luxord nodded. Marluxia didn't like the idea one bit. But if what Saix is saying is true, then he had no choice.

"Thank you...thank you ALL for helping. Now let's go kick Xemnas's pampered ass for good." Axel said.

Together everyone marched to the Triumphant Tower. This was were Xemnas was located. This was where the Real battle would begin.

"It all ends here. Let's finish this fight...for good." Axel whispered.

It's getting really exciting in the castle now isn't it?
