Axel was still asleep in the medic room and seemed that he was almost back to normal. He stretched a little in his sleep and knew that it could be disappointing to Demyx that the fight was an tie. The flurry was surprised as well, but then it was better than him losing the fight at all. His biggest regret was that he didn't know what happened afterwards.
Axel eyed certain people who had their eyes on Larxene, but he paid them no attention as he got in with the action with showing off his skills. He could get drunk if he wished, but saw no reason even though he had an martini earlier. He thought he caught glimpse of Larxene using her electricity and followed her. "Is something wrong?" he asked.
Axel seem kind of taken back with Reno's attitude. Did he not believe him? Or was he just too laid back to know the truth? What truth the flurry didn't even hint that he could kill. What did he think he was, some kind of punk rock star down on his luck? At first he wasn't even going to give him an demonstration, but now it was a different story. Oh man if Reno knew how many lives were lost in Hallow Bastion thanks to Axel and destruction upon homes, he would be changing his tune very quickly. "Actually I have caused alot of damage and killed so many people, it isn't even funny to judge me," he smirked as he decided to show him he meant business, but no he wouldn't bring out his weapons just yet. While surverying an arena to burn a heartless had come over to pay them visit which was just what Axel needed. Without any hesistation the flurry brought his arms up as if concentrating on his element as the flicker of flames began surrounding the creature and then closed in on it. The flames went even higher and smoked it. He watched it smolt into the darkness. "Never judge a book by its cover. Like Larxene I possess weapons of my own, but I don't want to bring them out," he added letting the flames die down.
I actually remember seeing that screen shot and the whole scenrio on youtube. So it was supposed to be on KH2 FM as well. I know there were only five members of the organization present there. That makes me think of which members they were supposed to be? And where were the other three? Yes I left out Roxas on purpose. On a side note I have seen Axel and Demyx sitting in the lounge chairs right next to each other. Axel seems to be listening to Demyx play his sitar in the lobby. 4- 5 times in the game. Though I disagree that they aren't that close, but even so it isn't like he avoids him or anything. Though that one picture in KH2 where it shows four organization members in a colored sketch, you can tell 2 are exactly Axel and Roxas, but the other two have their indenties covered and could be Demyx and Xigbar as they only ones with that kind of connection to Roxas.
Axel observed Reno's gesture and thought of how much information he could say to him. So Reno worked for some powerful man, hmm didn't surprise him at all, nor would he push him on that manner. Of course he woudn't blurt out everything from the organization, but he would let him know about the cloaks that they wore. It wasn't that personal as long as he didn't push other personal matters. His past life he could roll with that. "Let just say I was given an obligation to fulfill and a meaning to a new way of life. It may not be much, but these cloaks actually protect us from the creatures heartless that may come out of the portals. They are either black creatures or have a sigma of slash over a heart symbol. They take people's hearts," There was another pause as he took a breath hoping he wasn't freaking out or confusing Reno. "When I say darkness I am not saying like the night sky, but the insanity in one's mind. A person can lose themselves if they enter a portal without this outfit, or unless the one with the outfit accompanies them," He had no problem with the guy leaning on him like this. It was a friendly thing if any and it reminded him of what his friends had done as well. Just hanging out together, he could be friends with him easily."Only four of you left? You must work a very stressful job," he paused in some interest, but changed the subject for a moment knowing Reno would find it suspicious if he didn't give him any kind of explanation on himself. "I am an assasin, and deal with traitors in my job. Not an easy task when you are close to them though," it was partly the truth, but Axel couldn't tell him he was an nobody with no heart, for all he knew Reno could turn around and kill him without hesistation.
(OOC: Organization members are looking for other people. Some being cowards and hiding from others. The protagonists Sora, Kaira and Riku I think have found each other. Zexion has found Cloud and Xigbar like the rest is looking for others) Zexion rose his eyesbrow in annoyance as he noticed the spikey haired man was getting away. Not one to gain any length of confrontation unless provoked the Cloaked Schemer slowly rose his hand up as swirls of blackish tar had set foot on the man's feet as pinning him to the ground. "I am not going to cause you any harm unless you force me," he replied as walked to wards him or it seem like he was. But it was more like a shadow reaching his presence. Xigbar got sick of looking for some people and decided to go look for someone who could be easier to find. The thing was who would be easy to locate if possible? Sighing to himself with his weapons still with him he cocked his gun and shot some warning shots into the air. The shots were vibrating off the castle halls and hopefully they would bring out anyone. He began traveling towards the corridors. A few inches a few shots could be heard. "I hate cowards so come out already!"
Axel nodded his head in approval though the whole nightmare thing didn't really add up to him now. "Yeah, but what if it happens again?" He shook his head trying to get the image of being frozen out of his brain. "Man, I don't want to have trouble going to sleep because of this," He sighed as he sat down on a bench. "This is very strange, and I don't think I will trust myself to sleep for a while."
Axel flung his cloak off as he watched the guy flip around to try to catch it. "Be very careful with it," He warned. He knew that if it wasn't handled carefully then it would burn who ever tried to mess with it. With only in a red tank top muscle shirt and the same black pants that dawned with his uniform he gradually made his way to the dance floor.
Axel half closed his eyes as he listened to Reno introduce himself and he thought to himself how Larxene would want to run away with someone that could be likely a clone or twin of his. He began circling him the other red head much like a predator looking for prey. He noticed that the turk that long hair with it tied in a pony tail which reminded the flurry of Xigbar for a moment. Chuckling at the hot shot comment the flurry shook his head as if to casual tease the guy though it was true. "You wouldn't be the first to be hitting on a hot girl like Larxene. Though she is a woman who hates stalkers she does enjoy grabbing the attention," He shifted his gaze to her then back at Reno. The flurry stayed quiet for some time as if purposely avoiding the question, but then blunted said it. "The name is Axel. Commit it to memory," he pointed to himself in a proud matter and then held three fingers to his temple then set it down to a crossed arm postion. "Well, Reno since we are at a first name basis I would like to know if a Turk is some kind of organization?" Axel asked. In truth he wanted to get to know this guy. He rather befriend others than start enemies especially if the person resembled him. It would be wierd to start an fight or confrontation much like fighting himself. He only hoped that Reno didn't run off again.
Axel held his hands on his head down hunched over as he ignored voices that sounded like Demyx and Xion. He had no idea that they were right above him. His mind was settled on nothing to particular, but he needed to know the truth. Once he found out he would decide to go from there. He already felt like he was losing his friends already. Demyx would always be with him, but what about Roxas? He never found him and felt bad that he couldn't locate him again. Xion was his other friend, but would she really go insane?
Axel held her close to him as he rubbed her back. "We are all lost in some way. No, I don't want you to die, I would miss you," he knew that she was crying and didn't know why, but thought that she was afraid and confused. There was a feeling in him edging for something, but he wouldn't push it. Her body seem to cold now, and he did the only thing he knew without burning her. He brushed his lips onto her hers giving her a warm sensation then let go, holding her tightly.
Trudging through the corridor of darkness after suspecting that the thundering wench had ran off once again, the red head rolled his eyes as specualation set in. Who was that other guy? His last conversation with Larxene was that she told him that it was nothing, but he wasn't stupid to read behind the lines that she was lying between her teeth. Whenever she was intense she would do that. Almost like a pattern of a number of people hitting on her. First it was Demyx, Gex, Luxord and now some other cocky guy who tried to remain invinsible. Such an tiring thing to think of her this popular with the guys, but Axel wanted answers and wasn't going to give up on the chase. Might it have been easy since he could sense her energy easily with the other man's though it was mysterious to him, but either way he would find them. He noticed an open portal during his search in the darkness and gradually shifted towards it. Pulling himself out of the portal he eyed Larxene with her kunai perhaps in some kind of self defense. It didn't surprise him as he met his gaze on the pursuer and blinked in near shock at the stranger who sort of resembled an carbon copy of himself if resurrected. Except of course there were some difference besides hair style and eye tones. Though Reno had tattoed shapes on his face as well. It couldn't have been some kind of trend going on. It didn't make sene to him. Larxene had gone off with some guy who could of been his resurrected dead brother twice removed, but she wouldn't give the flurry the time of day. Things would start to get interesting. "So you are the one chasing after her! Who would think I would catch a shady character like yourself hitting on an uptight woman. Don't blame you for running away. What is your name?" he chuckled darkly at Reno. His comment was meant fleeing from him and not Larxene nor did the come and get me phase was sinking in. Leon slept peacefully in a bed, though he had no concept of what had happened to him when he was knocked out. Nor did he know where he was at the moment. His face hurt and was a little bruised, but he had not noticed this.
Axel listened to her explain herself and sighed as he felt he might as well tell her some things. "Riku is the one who wanted to break up this organization and even took Roxas away from us using Diz. He tried to do the same thing to you as well. He is our enemy and always will be. Sora is our enemy as well and is Roxas's somebody the other half of him. Kairi is Sora's close friend, Namine is Kairi's nobody. Somehow you share memories of them, but they are fake," He grew angry all of a sudden thinking about the past of it again, but not at her was he angry at. "You belong with us, regard of what anyone else says."
OMG you are so funny! LOL. Fine as of now.
Axel sighed as he slowly let go of her. He needed to give her room to talk at least. He wasn't going to leave her alone now and perhaps she knew it. "I don't see a problem with you reading his mind if there was in fact something he was hiding like his health. Forcing your way into personal thoughts though would make me angry as well without good reason. When someone is mad at you doensn't mean you should run away because it worries me," He explained. "There is something that you aren't telling me as your voice had changed before, and it sounded like Namine, tell me what that was about?"
The whisks of red brushed through his hair which of course was the sunset as if was setting. Nevermind it always looked this way to him, but now things were different. How was he suppose to know that everything he had with Xion were lies. Why didn't Xenmas say anything? Did he feel that his members were that stupid and wouldn't figure it out? Or was it that he simply didn't care. If she wasn't an nobody then what was she? He still kept his hand over his head his body bent over as if so what disappointed, confused and aggravated not to mention depressed.
Axel kept walking until he saw Xion who he approached her silently and then ran up and hugged her tightly. "Why do you keep on running away like that?" He asked. "Is it that you don't trust me now? I do know that you can read minds and it doesn't bother me, but the running away habit does," His mood was more depressed than hints of supressed anger hanging in them. He was now confused as ever. He found Xion, but then he would need to find Roxas as well.
Axel couldn't break free from the hold as he tried his best to get out of the tight lock. He heard all the words which was shocking and left him completely speechless. He had known that Xeol was up to something, but didn't know what until he witnessed the pressure and the daggers popping out of the guy's body. It seem almost like a suicide attack and he was going to take him down with him. The flurry clenched his teeth as he felt the stabbing in his body now, but he wouldn't cry out no matter how much the pain was triggering into his body. He coughed up blood because of the pressure of the daggers deepen in him which was weakening him now. His strength was slowly leaving him. Then finally he just collasped eyes closing completely his body becoming cold.
Axel kept walking through the burned forest though he felt like he was not going anywhere. He was sick of their disappearance. Almost everytime there was an argument they ended up leaving. He wanted to just for once for to not wander off . He thought maybe they wanted to stay away from him. Perhaps he was the problem. All he did was try to help, but if no one would trust him how was he supposed to figure things out. Then reality hit him perhaps she had read his thoughts of him in the past and was now afraid of him. Other people in his past would treat him the same way. He had never hurt anyone, but his love of fire timidated people. If that was the truth then what was Roxas excuse. His two friends were breaking their bond and friendship with him. He hated to be the last one to know things. "Xion, Roxas?" He called out.
Axel paused for a moment as he thought of Marluxia's words. In a way it made sense, but he thought it was only a rumor. Yes, I have heard of it. I doubt our world would ever have that kind of peace. We don't live in that kind of life, but in neither in light or darkness. Neither accepted. My body feeling frozen was in some kind of nightmare, but I guess that can't be explained," he sighed scratching his head over the scenerio.
