Here's for another dose of Pyrofuric Berserk.
Please do not yet kill me for the previous chapter. I can explain!
As for now, I doubt that I'll get 50 reviews so when this is finished ((3 chapters to go)) I'll go ahead and do the sequel anyway! YAY! APPLAUD ME! It won't be immediate however for I have many other stories that I REALLY should get to.
But enough of MY rambling.
ON TO THE SHOW!
Chapter 27: Connection To The Enemy
"Axel, you're not thinking straight. You aren't yourself. Go away." Roxas said firmly although on the inside he was practically breaking down in fear.
In all honesty, Axel had always scared him. He had an outrageous temper and was liable to do anything in his moments of rage.
Now, to see a pissed off and possessed, eyes fully black, glare set intently on him, he was ready to run.
"I am thinking straight. And I'm thinking I'll stay here. You know, just long enough to kick your ass.," he said sarcastically, grabbing Roxas by the collar of his cloak.
"Axel, just let me go and-"
Roxas was quickly cut off by a chakram at his throat. Based on how tense Axel was, he wasn't giving up any time soon. The blonde quickly drew his keyblades, slashing one upward to knock the chakram away. He jumped back several feet by using Oblivion to push himself off the ground.
By the time he glanced up, Axel was running at him full speed and threw his chakrams, one hitting Roxas in the stomach, the other in his chin. Roxas sailed backwards and hit the ground with a thud.
Axel straddled him and put a fire barrier around them.
"You're a backstabber, Roxy. You were supposed to be my friend." Axel said as Assassins started forming within the circle of fire.
"I-I am Axel. I'm sorry, seriously." Roxas whimpered.
"It's too late for that now!" Axel yelled, disappearing. The Assassin nobodies closed in on Roxas. He summoned his keyblade, prepared to fight.
"Axel!" he yelled.
"If you're my friend," Axel said from midair with his arms crossed, "You would go back to Kohaku."
"Who?" Roxas asked, noticing the nobodies had frozen in place. Axel sighed and uncrossed his arms.
"The 'mummy bastard', got it memorized?" he said, tapping his head.
"But, he…" Roxas started before Axel snapped his fingers. The Assassins went back to their previous attack.
"Make your decision." Axel said then faded into the dark sky.
Rexial wandered to the far end of the Dark City, feeling lost. Zexion just died before her eyes. She felt she could have done more, had to have done more, and when her Tsuin snapped out of it…
She hadn't realized she met a dead end leading to a brick wall. She sighed and started to turn around when that annoyingly helpful voice returned.
"Turn back around."
She slowly turned back and saw a hole in the wall she hadn't noticed before.
"Although supposed enemies, you will find the key to your solution beyond this wall."
Rexial stared at the hole in the wall and sighed again. What was there left to lose?
She climbed through the hole noticing it was much larger than it looked. She walked through it and stopped not knowing where to go exactly. She could just go up to people and ask them to help her demon possessed friends.
"Go wherever desire guides you. Just let your feet lead the way."
Kohaku stared at Tryxel through his one unwrapped eye.
"You will do as I say now. You have been doing an excellent job so far." he said surprisingly clear for his mouth to be wrapped. "Now I have another task for you."
He kept her head cleared as he spoke this last command. Making sure she understood fully before her mind was no longer her own. Through Iwa and Takeshi, he found this way of mind control was much stronger.
"I want you to take out your Superior. Xemnas." he spoke in a casual tone.
"No. I won't do it. Stop trying to control me. Leave the Organization alone." Tryxel demanded, summoning her weapon.
"This is very important," he continued, slowly forcing his way into her mind, "it needs to be done. He cannot continue to live."
"But… but why?" the girl asked. Kohaku merely smiled.
"It is simply a matter of heart."
At this, he took over her mind again. Her eyes faded into a pitch black.
"Now.. oblige as I order. Go."
Rexial walked along the path that looked slightly familiar. The bright, completed Kingdom Heart lit up the town but she wouldn't dare look up at it.
She did, however, trip on something near the wall of a building.
A boy with brown spikes was laying on the ground, curled up slightly. Rexial leaned down to get a better look at him. She couldn't tell whether he was asleep or what.
"Hey. Hey!" she whispered loudly, tapping the boy. He slowly opened his big blue eyes and glanced outward blankly before jumping up.
"Huh? Where? How?" he looked around then looked up at the girl that had woken him, then glanced down at her cloak.
"Oh great. Another one of them." he spat venomously and summoned his keyblade.
"Hey cool! It's a ke- wait, one of who?" Rexial asked him. "Are you gonna fight me? How rude can you get!" she crossed her arms.
Sora stared at her in confusion. 'She's like the other girl.' he thought.
"Are you in the Organization?" he asked. Rexial nodded. "And you don't know who I am?" he pushed.
"Nope. Never seen you a day in my life. But are you okay? Here, let me help you up." she offered with her hand out. Sora stared at her hand skeptically then allowed her to help him up.
What happened to you?" Rexial asked with what sounded like genuine concern.
"I kinda… um… fell down?" the brunette replied. Rexial gave him and knowing look before thinking about what the voice told her earlier.
"You!" Rexial shouted, starling the boy. "I mean, why did you ask if I was in the Organization?" she asked.
"Because we're supposed to be sworn enemies. I'm surprised they never told you and why the hell am I telling you this?" Sora said while face palming.
"It's okay. I'm not going to attack you but… let's just say a… friend told me you could help me." The girl revealed.
"Me?" Sora asked with confusion.
"Well, I think so. But it's worth a shot." Rexial shrugged.
"Wait. What exactly am I helping you with. And why should I?" Sora asked defensively.
"Because I'm not attacking you and I don't know you. So… hello, I am Rexial. You are?"
"Sora." The boy answered flatly.
"Well Sora. It's a long story on how and why you should help me. A really long story."
"Larxene. Give it a rest. Your powers don't work here!" Xigbar yelled in frustration. "Sit down. You're frying the oxygen."
Larxene turned to glare at Xigbar just as footsteps were heard coming down toward them.
Takeshi stood before the cell, quickly fumbling with something in his pockets. He pulled out a set of keys, trying to fit each one into the lock frantically.
"Dammit which one, aha." he mumbled, finally opening the cell door. "Kohaku isn't here. Go. Hurry!" he shouted.
The four quickly rushed from the cell as Takeshi lead them out through a series of tunnels in the dark.
"Why are you helping us all of a sudden freak show?" Larxene asked. Marluxia nudged and shushed her.
They got to an opened space in the basement.
"Good question, Number 12.," a voice not belonging to Takeshi said. The group looked in confusion then wonder as the figure before them transformed.
"But the question is," Zexion turned to them with a smirk, "why wouldn't I?"
