Ohh, another update. And right after I said that updates would be infrequent. XD I'll be doing updating tomorrow, too, so look out for that one.

On to the prompt. I was originally going to do something like the Heartless infestation on Destiny Islands at the beginning of KH1, but that obviously didn't happen. To be honest, I was debating on making this a post for LA and this, but then I knew I'd end up either rewriting one or taking the LA version down, so... This is just going up here. :D Though it does fit the parameters for LA.

Anyways, I keep switching from first to third, don't I? XD I can't be consistent. Oh well.

Disclaimer: I don't own KH!


Prompt 6: Infestation

It was a quiet day in The Castle That Never Was. Yes, it was relatively silent until—

"AAAAAHHHHHH!"

The cry could be heard throughout the entire castle, and it caused all kinds of mayhem.

Luxord's castle of cards fell over. Yes, the castle of cards he had been working on for the past three and a half hours fell over.

Vexen's experiment blew up, ruining yet another test tube and yet another cloak.

Axel burned the cake he was baking. He let out a curse, knowing he should have just stuck to ice cream. Ice cream didn't burn.

Demyx flooded the bathtub that he was filling with his water-controlling abilities just for fun.

Roxas, who was sleeping, fell out of bed with a thud and a yelp of surprise.

Zexion dropped the book he was reading and lost his place.

And worst of all, Saïx, who was reading mountains and mountains of mission reports... His concentration snapped with a loud krick sound. Not only had he lost his place in the ten page recon report he was reading, but he was so startled by the noise that he stood in a flash, the wind from the chair being knocked back and his hands slamming upon his desk threw the papers into disarray all over the floor. He'd been working for hours upon hours to keep this office clean while he read, and yet...

The blue-haired Nobody looked up at the door, pure malice seeping from his entire being. "Who did this?"He stood and stormed from his office, seeking out the source of his troubles.

Immediately after the office door closed, Saïx was suddenly aware of the ground shaking. He looked down curiously, wondering what was causing the castle's floor to shake. As far as he knew, the structure was rather sturdy...

There was a sudden loud yell of, "Take this!" and there was a bright flash and a loud crashing noise from around the corner. Before Saïx could look up from the ground and head towards the noise, a cockroach dashed by him—a rather large one at that. Not even a second after it had passed, lightning struck the ground before him, just a hair away from striking him. Saïx took a quick step back and looked up, his eyes wide at the close encounter.

Just then, a very angry yet very frightened looking Larxene stormed past him, knives at the ready, lightning flickering around her. He simply stared after her as she called out, "You little bug! Get back here! Thundaga!" Lightning flashed once more ahead of her.

Just about all of Saïx's rage had faded into confusion at the events before him. Either Larxene really hated cockroaches, or she was afraid of them...

Or both...

Saïx furrowed his eyebrows before turning around and walking back into his office as if none of the previous events had happened. If there was an infestation in the castle, he would leave someone else to take care of it—right now, he had other matters to attend to.

He stared at the mess in front of him and sighed, thinking, Other matters, such as this horrid mess. With another sigh, he started picking up the reports, sorting them into several small piles and ignoring the way the ground now shook under his feet and the battle cries coming from outside his door.


Even though I don't like Saïx, he gets a "poor Saïx" here because I get how he's feeling. TT_TT And yes, the snap of concentration does make a sound! I'm sure dogs can hear it if humans can't! XD

Review, because Axel needs a new cake!
