Saix entered Axel's room, his expression somehow more serious than usual. "Axel, I have an important message from Lord Xemnas. You need to find a way to ensure that Xion doesn't attempt to leave the Organization again," the blue-haired Nobody relayed.
"Understood. I'll do my best," Axel said. Saix left.
The redhead walked over to Xion's room and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He opened the door and walked in.
Xion was curled up on her bed, sulking. "You know you'll be better off if you do what you're told. You don't want them to destroy you," Axel warned.
Xion threw a pillow at Axel and shouted, "Go away!"
Axel caught the pillow and placed it on Xion's bed. Axel realized that it was time for plan B. "Okay, fine. I'll go," He sighed.
Axel went to get Demyx. He knew that Roxas probably wouldn't cooperate after what he did, so he didn't even bother asking Roxas about joining him. After he told Demyx the plan, they went back to Xion's room.
Xion was now sitting on her bed, still sulking. Demyx started playing what Axel requested. Axel put an arm around Xion and started singing:
"Xion, listen to me. Other Worlds, they're a mess. Life in the Realm Between is better than anything they got out there.
The grass just seems always greener
In somebody else's World
You dream about going out there
But you're just a little girl
Just look at the World around you
Right here within all this white
Familiar space surrounds you.
Easier to not take flight
The Realm Between
The Realm Between
Darling, it's better
You are all set here
While you've got me
Sure, all we do is work all day
But at Sunset we get to play
Us eating ice cream,
We're the perfect team
Of Realm Between"
It managed a tiny smile from Xion. Axel got up and stood by Demyx as they sang together:
"Down here, we may be unhappy
But just 'cause we have no Hearts
Yet Dusks can never be happy
They're sad 'cause can't get those parts
But Dusks get sent out in trouble
They're in for a worser fate
One day when the Boss bursts bubbles,
They get to shatter and break
Axel went back to singing by himself:
"The Realm Between
The Realm Between
Nobodies need you
With your Keyblade to
Help us be free
We only want to be complete
Though it seems an impossible feat
We'll have no troubles
And Roxas doubles
In Realm Between"
"The Realm Between" Demyx added.
"The Realm Between" Axel continued.
"The Realm Between" Demyx echoed.
"Life's not too sweet here
But we got the beat here
Naturally
Even though you don't know the way
You can just take things day by day
We've got the spirit
Don't have to fear it
In Realm Between
You're cute
Absolute
You're sharp
As a shark
The ace
In our place
Lovely as a harp
Got sass
And you're fast
You're sweet
And you're neat
No fluke
Don't rebuke
Our goa"
"Yeah!" Demyx broke in, only to be tripped by Axel as he sang.
"Just say
'It's the way
It brings
Lots of things
Don't doubt
How about
You keep it coming?
So where are you at?
'Cause you're up to bat
And, oh, that Keyblade swing"
Axel and Demyx sang together again.
"Yeah, The Realm Between
The Realm Between
The Realm Between
The Realm between
When you obey us
Without any fuss
It's music to me.
What do they got
In other lands?
We got a bunch of rubber bands." Axel pulled out a lot of them from his pocket, making Xion giggle at the absurdity. He locked eyes with her, continuing with sincerity.
"You're not a sham here
So long as you stand here
In Realm Between
No one is perfect
You've got to work it
In Realm Between
You will not fail here
You won't go stale here
That's why we're always
Fighting for a place
We won't be stuck here
Down in the muck here
The Realm Between"
"I'll think about it Axel," Xion sighed.
"You better. It's not easy to write a song within such a limited amount of time," Axel said, earning a laugh from the two other Nobodies.
