Ch 9!!! So what's gonna happen now?? Only time will telll... ~Chapter 9~ ~~~Saturday Night~~~ Axel ran to the main meeting room—he had to help Zexion and Roxas. He never thought twice about it being a trap. He ran into the room—but it was too late. In the middle of the room was Rose biting Zexion’s neck. “Zexion!†Axel shouted. Rose pulled away from Zexion’s neck and looked at Axel, smiling evilly, her fangs showing. When she pulled away, Zexion’s head fell back, his eyes closed, his body still. They only thing holding him up was Rose’s tight grip on his collar. “Hello, Axel.†She said. She released her grip on Zexion, and he fell backwards, falling on to the floor hard. His body lied there, lifeless. She began to walk towards Axel. As she did, Axel switched his glance from her to Zexion. From where he was standing, it was hard to tell if he was breathing. She stopped where she was. Axel looked up at her. “Zexion isn’t with us anymore…†she said. Axel was outraged at her words. He summoned his Chakrams, lit them on fire, and hurled them at her. As the first one came, she jumped over it, and as the second one came, she ducked. Axel recalled them and charged at her, weapons in hands. He went to strike her with one, but before he could hit her, she disappeared in a cloud of rose petals. Axel looked around. She was gone, and no one was here. He then ran towards Zexion and kneeled by his side. He grabbed both of his shoulders, lifted him up slightly, and shook him gently. “Zexion?†He said quietly. There was no response. Axel shook him harder. “Zexion!!†Zexion slowly opened his eyes. Instead of his irises being the normal blue color that they usually were, they were now a vivid fuchsia color. His eyes looked up to meet Axel’s, and Axel looked back at him. Zexion’s eyes were far away and distant. “Zexion…†Axel said softly. Zexion closed his eyes, and they did not reopen. Axel looked at him. “What did she do to you?†he said to himself. “Poison.†A voice said. Axel looked up to see Rose standing only a little ways away from him. Rose was smiling evilly. Axel lowered Zexion back on the ground by his shoulders and stood up. “Undo it!†Axel shouted. She laughed her normal creepy laugh. She walked towards him, her hands on her hips. “Sorry, no can do.†She said. “You see, the poison’s probably kicked in by now. Zexion over there should be dead real soon.†Axel gritted his teeth in anger. She laughed at his reaction. “As long as I’m around, he’s done for.†“Well,†Axel said, summoning his Chakrams. “I guess I’ll have to take YOU out!†He lunged at her, but she dodged. He threw one at her, but she summoned a petal shield to reflect it. “Thorn strike!†she shouted, as a stream of thorns shot out at Axel. He flamed at the thorns, and they all fell to the ground in the form of ash. Then, he threw a Chakram at her, and, catching her off guard, tripped her. She fell over, and when she looked up, he was standing over her, with a raised Chakram. He lit in on fire. “It’s over…†he said. He was about to strike her when a gale of thorns knocked the disk out of his hand, and extinguished the fire on it. The weapon hit the wall behind Axel and clattered to the ground. Axel was shocked. He turned around to see Marluxia. He summoned his Scythe. “What are you doing?†Axel asked, completely confused. Marluxia pointed his weapon at Axel and advanced towards him, making Axel back away from where he was standing. “What does it look like I’m doing?†Marluxia said, with quiet anger in his words. “I’m protecting my sister.†Rose stood up and smiled evilly at her brother. “I knew you’d never let me down, Miluara.†She said. “Marluxia, do you even know what she’s done?†Axel said. “She’s hurt our friends. She’s turned them into Vampire Nobodies! She’s killing Zexion, trying to kill me, and will likely kill you!†Marluxia glanced over at Zexion, who was motionless. He looked back at Axel. “You were trying to kill my sister!†“Because that is the only way!†Axel said. “In order to get rid of a Vampire Nobody, you have to either kill it, or the summoner has to call it off! You obviously don’t want to kill her, so call her off! Stop wanting to see her! You can miss her, but stop wishing she was here with us!†“Shut up!†Marluxia yelled. “I’ll NEVER do that!!!†He was about to attack but Rose stopped him. “There’s no need for that.†She snapped her fingers. When she did, Roxas, Larxene, Vexen, Luxord, and Demyx appeared. They were all Vampire Nobodies at the time. “Finish him.†Rose said, pointing to Axel. All five of the Vampires started to close in on Axel. Axel recalled his disks. He knew this was going to be some fight. Rose looked up at her brother. “Let us watch.†She said, pulling his arm back. He stepped back with her. Demyx was the first to attack. He summoned his Sitar and with it created a huge pillar of water, and directed it at Axel. He dodged it, and threw a Chakram at him. It knocked his Sitar out of his hands. Luxord threw some exploding dice at Axel. Axel created a wall of fire to reflect it, and then shot some fire at Luxord. He used a card to shield himself, and ran towards Axel. He punched him, and Axel swerved to the right to dodge it. Vexen then summoned an ice spell that encased Axel up to his waist in ice. Axel easily melted it. Demyx then shot a blast of water at Axel, and Larxene called forth a blast of lighting at Axel. The two attacks combined, and struck Axel, both knocking him against the wall and shocking him. Roxas then charged at Axel with his Keyblades. He took Oblivion and tried to bring it down on Axel’s head, but Axel held up a chakram and blocked it. A blast of ice from Vexen knocked Axel off-balance, and Roxas used to opening to strike Axel with his Oblivion to the floor. +++ Rose and Marluxia were watching from the sides. “Quite an interesting fight, is it not, Miluara?†she asked. “I hope Axel will be all right…†Marluxia said, concerned. Rose laughed. Marluxia didn’t recognize her laugh. “We’ll see.†Marluxia turned to watch Axel again. Please, He thought, be careful…Marluxia started to feel guilty for how he talked to Axel… +++ But now Axel had grown somewhat tired, and the fight came to be Axel versus Roxas. Roxas slashed at Axel with his Oathkeeper. Axel tried to talk to him during the fight. “Roxas! Snap out of it!†he shouted. Roxas laughed evilly as he tried to strike Axel with his Keyblades. “Roxas, we’re friends!†“The only friend I have is Kingdom Hearts…†Roxas replied, while dodging a fire attack from Axel. “I don’t want to hurt you!†Axel said, meaning it. If he seriously hurt Roxas, he’d never forgive himself… Roxas slashed at him with Oblivion. Axel lost his balance, and with one swift move, he took both Keyblades and struck Axel, knocking him against the wall. Axel stood with his back against the wall. He closed his eyes. I have to get Roxas to listen to me, he thought, I have to— An extreme pain in his right shoulder cut off Axel’s thoughts. While Axel had his eyes closed, Roxas had run up to him and plunged the Oathkeeper in his shoulder, pinning him to the all. Axel cringed in pain as he opened his eyes and looked into Roxas’ Vampire Nobody eyes. Roxas’ hand was on the handle of the Oathkeeper Keyblade, pushing on it, forcing it deeper and deeper into Axel’s shoulder. Axel was shaking with pain. He looked up at Roxas. “Roxas…†he said in great pain. He let out a breath. “Roxas…†Roxas looked at him. Something told Axel that Roxas—the TRUE Roxas—was listening. “We’re…best friends…right?†Axel asked, cringing as he talked, for the pain in his shoulder grew intense. Right then, Roxas’ eyes widened. Memories of him and Axel flooded into his mind. He realized where he was, what he was doing—hurting his best friend. “Axel…†he said, closing his eyes. He opened them again. His eyes were no longer white with pale rose-colored cat eye pupils. They were blue again. He looked at Axel with a fearful expression. “Axel!†He shouted, calling off the Oathkeeper Keyblade that was still lodged in Axel’s shoulder. Axel slid down the wall to the floor, grasping his injured shoulder. He looked up at Roxas, who was now kneeling beside him. “Roxas…you’re you.†He said, wincing as he spoke. Roxas smiled weakly, no longer having fangs. “Of course I’m me.†He replied. Axel smiled half-heartedly. +++ Rose was outraged that Roxas had changed back to normal. “What are you doing Roxas?†she asked. Roxas rose to his feet and summoned Oblivion. “About to destroy you and end this!†He lunged at her, but Marluxia grabbed his Keyblade. “No, Roxas…†he said. “If someone is to destroy her, it’ll be me.†He stood up and faced his sister. Rose was shocked. “What are you doing, Miluara?†she asked. He glared at her. “I know why you came here.†He said. “I guess I summoned you. But it wasn’t because I wanted you here. It was because I felt guilty for letting you die, and I felt guilty for never letting you know that I loved you.†He looked at the ground, and then looked at up at her. “But now, I’m a Nobody.†He said, his voice strong. “I can’t love, so I no longer can to say it to you. And I can’t feel guilt, so I can no longer feel guilty for what I did.†Rose smirked. “I’m happy for you brother.†She said, snapping her fingers. Larxene, Demyx, Luxord, and Vexen advanced towards him. “Too bad I can’t feel it!†They all prepared their weapons. Marluxia smirked angrily. “I no longer want to see you, Rose. I’ve forgiven myself—and I no longer want you here with me.†He said. As soon as he said this, the room began to spin. Rose started to fade. She was no longer wanted here, and she was returning back to Kingdom Hearts. She looked up at Marluxia. She held out her hand to him. “Brother…Miluara…†she said. “Come home with me.†The space around Marluxia seemed soundless. “We’ll go together.†She whispered. Marluxia shook his head. “No, you’ll go alone.†She smirked evilly, and then disappeared. As soon as she left, Larxene, Demyx, Luxord, and Vexen snapped back to normal. Their eyes were no longer tainted, and they were no longer Vampire Nobodies. They looked dazed. “What is going on?†Vexen asked. “I don’t know…†Demyx said. He looked over at Zexion, who was still lying on the floor. “What’s wrong with him?†Axel stood up suddenly, still clutching his shoulder. “Zexion!†he shouted, and ran towards him. He shook him gently. “Zexion?†Everyone stood in silence as they waited for Zexion to move. After a moment, Zexion opened his eyes slowly. They were blue again. Everyone was relieved. He sat up slowly, his head spinning. “What’s going on?†He asked, putting his hand to his head to steady himself. Axel helped him up. “Quick! You have to reverse the spell Rose cast!†Zexion nodded, and summoned his book. He opened page, and pointed out of a nearby window. “All of all spells, Reverse. Rid of the blight, rid of the Curse!†he recited. As he finished, the room began to spin, and the moon lowered into the sky, no longer frozen. Zexion turned towards everyone. “I could reverse the moon spell, but not the fast forward spell.†He said. “That means today is Saturday, and can’t be changed back to Wednesday.†Axel said. His eyes widened. Roxas noticed this. “Axel, what’s wrong?†he asked. Axel turned towards all of the Nobodies. “Today is SATURDAY!!! And tomorrow, Xemnas comes back!!!†he yelled. Everyone was angry now, and fearful. After the fight, and all of the chaos, the Castle was a HUGE mess…
