Thank you for the suggestion of joining my own kind. :p I'll think about joining other anime nerds in my school.
Darkalias--hm...I like it actually. I just have to make sure no one else has the name.
All right then. We would like maybe two or three more band members since we only have three. More is better than less.
I've just listened to the Waffles song and I was like: that's annoying. :P
Well--I don't think Loriah would be a good band name... I feel bad that I'm the head of the band and you got kicked out of yours. Maybe you could join my band since we're really nice people and all.
Maybe you're right she might be busy with work. I'm busy too since we have more tests at school. D: I'm always studying at the library since I have no time to hang out with other people. I'll try to make friends if it doesn't get in the hassle of distracting me from my studies.
Blood-ginas--I'll think about that one. The genre of my band is mostly mixed. We don't always play covers for hard rock music. Odama--you can help write music for my band if you want. Is it okay if I call you Odama instead of Odamadillo? I'm sorry--I'm just so lazy.
My band hasn't created any music yet since all we do are covers. :| I'm not that good at writing songs--much to my lose. And I'm pretty much of an idiot for not knowing the meaning of the band name sooner. :P
The Nobodies could age--since some of the members of Organization XIII were probably young when they joined since Axel is older than Roxas. If they couldn't age, they would stay the same age and would always be young kids instead of grown adults.
Okay--fine by me. ^ ^
Nope. I don't have a clue. Well--guess I'll just write down the band name in my list of options... And no to Dark Cookie. Even though I like cookies, I wouldn't name my band after them. -.-
The name sounds cool. :) I'll ask my band members if they like it. If they see the name they'll be like: what the heck does that mean? XD
There should be a hash brown song like the waffle song. :P
I need help you guys about choosing the right name for my rock band. There are rules though: I won't take anything that's corny or sounds pretty ridiculous like OP. -.- Help would be appreciated.
I feel pretty embarassed with asking you guys this but... My friend recently hasn't been talking to me since the start of second quarter. Is she still my best friend or should I move on? She's the only nice person I met so far and I feel kind of alone now since I don't hang out with her anymore... D:
I play Firered and I gotta say--that's a badass team right there. Most of my guys are Lv. 60 right now.You could buy a new Pokemon Firered game at Gamestop instead of restarting it because I think you wouldn't want to lose that badass team of yours.
Hello. How are you doing? :3 I'm tired of saying almost the same thing to everyone. XD
Yup. Don't steal my cookies. :3 I'm just kidding. :P
I enjoyed the story. I think that it was really great. You should think of adding some more to it. ^ ^
CHAPTER TWO THE NEXT DAY DIDN'T SEEM AS EXCITING WITHOUT EITHER ROXAS OR AXEL, BUT I TRIED MY BEST BY DESTROYING HEARTLESS AS BEST I COULD. “Too slow—make sure you counter the attack then slash. But other than that, you’re getting better.” Demyx said with a convincing nod. I put down my two blades and wheezed. I turned to Demyx and glowered at him. “What’re you talking about? You don’t even attack—yet be useful at some times.” Demyx looked offended. “I do fight, Lexas! You should’ve seen me with Xigbar—“ I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, right—Xigbar likes to work on his own. He doesn’t need help from the likes of you.” Demyx whistled. “Not too upbeat, huh? Mission’s over—I guess…” Demyx summoned a portal and both me and him jumped through. After the next day’s mission, which was always the usual, I walked to the train station and walked up the stairs to the top. I sat down and felt the wind blow against me. It was so relaxing that I didn’t notice Axel until he said, “Boo.” I jumped back and summoned my two blades, but Axel just laughed. “It’s just me, alright? If you’re looking for a fight—I can give you a fight, but not now, alright?” I nod and Axel grinned, holding up two ice cream bars. I sat with Axel and we both ate ice cream, looking down at the ground from the top of the train station. No one spoke for a while, but Axel finally said, “How’re you doing with your training, Lexas?” I took one bite out of the ice cream and replied, “My training’s going pretty well, but—what about you?” Axel let out a laugh. “No worries, Lexi—I’m doing pretty well myself.” I glowered at Axel. “Don’t call me Lexi.” Axel waved the matter off and laid down beside me. “Well—nothing better to discuss, I guess? Roxas didn’t return yet from his mission, which is a surprise…” For a little while longer, me and Axel relaxed at the top of the train station, waiting for Roxas to come. “Axel—I think we met before…” I said aloud. Axel stayed quiet the whole time, I thought he was sleeping, but he sat up with the popsicle stick still in his mouth. “Nah—I don’t think so, but…I’ve got a strange feeling that I swore to protect you, which is ridiculous since I’ve only met you weeks ago.” I shrug. “You sure you haven’t met any girls like me from before, Axel?” I face him and looked straight into his eyes, waiting for an answer. Axel blushed and turned away, scratching his head. “If I did—I would remember…” I let out a laugh and leaned against the railing. “It’s alright, Axel—main thing is, we’re still friends, right?” Axel smiled and offered me a hand to shake. I took the favor. “Right.” Axel said. The next day, Roxas still hadn’t returned from his mission for days now, which made me and Axel really worried. “You don’t think he had been brainwashed, do you?” I ask. Axel shrugged. “Nah—he wouldn’t be as stupid as to be brainwashed and walk into the middle of the desert. It’s not like him.” “Do you want to continue searching for him?” Axel nodded. “Yeah—sure…why not?” This time, the portal dropped us off at the Olympian coliseum. I looked around and still no sign of Roxas. “Guess we’ll have to keep searching, huh?” Axel nodded. “Yeah—guess we would have to…” We lingered around the gates at the Olympian coliseum, which were still pretty much closed. I noticed a huge golden statue of a guy wearing sandals. He had curly hair and flexed his muscles as if posing for a camera. “Urgh—I hate guys like that.” I turn and saw Axel flexing his muscles and my cheeks turned unmistakably red. “Axel!” Axel turned to me. “What? I look cool—don’t I?” “Unbelievable…” I mutter. “Unbelievable is right!” I turn and come face-to-face with a man who was knee short who had hooves for feet. “Who are you?” I ask. “Who am I? I’m the most awesomest Satyr in the world! For I am Phil!” I narrowed my eyes. “Right…Phil…who are you really?” Phil looked offended. “I’m the one who trained the most awesome hero in the world—Hercules!” I turn to Axel for confirmation but he disappeared. Great…when I needed him most, he vanished on me… “Hello? Kid?” I look down at Phil and he’s grinning like a madman. “What is it?” I ask. “You’ve come for training, haven’t you? I know heroes these days—they ask me to train them because I’m too awesome!” I scowled at him. “Awesome? In which way?” Things to describe Phil were not awesome at all. He forced me to run laps around the coliseum and do push-ups—make them a hundred and twenty. When I always stop, Phil would yell at me and tell me that I was a cupcake. Seriously? I huffed and puffed as I did the final push-up and Phil snorted in approval. “Alright, kid—that’s all you’ll have to learn for now…see you tomorrow, alright?” I nod my head weakly and walked out of the coliseum, coming face-to-face with Axel. I glowered at him. “Why didn’t you stay there when I needed you most?” Axel shrugged. “Nobodies aren’t allowed to keep in contact with the outer world, so to speak. We keep a low profile.” I narrowed my eyes. “Right—keeping a low profile as in watching me do push-ups and running my butt off.” Axel laughed and slapped a hand on my back. “Yep—you’ve got that right, partner. Now—shall we go and get ice cream?” I give a nod of my head. “Alright—only if you’re going to pay for it, then fine.” The next day was always the same—searching for Roxas in different worlds. We couldn’t find him, which wasn’t a surprise since he had only gone missing weeks ago. Axel always looked to the distance, as if wondering where his best friend would be. The day after yesterday, me and Axel were both assigned the same mission to defeat Heartless at the Olympian coliseum. As we arrived at the coliseum, I met Phil again, who this time told me that I was ready for the arena. “Alright, kid—keep your head up high and don’t hesitate when you’re about to attack, alright? You always do that—which is getting on my nerves. Well…hope you survive and don’t die!” Phil slaps a hand on my back. Convincing words… I walk into the arena and found myself face-to-face with a Heartless. The Heartless were easy to defeat since all I had to do was slash at them until they dissipated and never returned. “Alright, kid—the guy you’re about to fight is really strong, so heads up, alright?” I give a nod of my head and the door to the end of the arena opened and Axel walked out. “Hey, kid.” Axel waved at me as if this was nothing. I gaped at him. “I’m supposed to fight you?” Axel grinned and summoned his weapons. “Yep.” His expression turned serious and his eyes glinted like this would be amusing. “Don’t hold back, alright?” Axel fought like, well—himself, obviously. He’d always slash at me, but I’d always block his attacks easily with my two blades. Axel let out a hearty laugh. “Getting better, kid! See if you can handle this!” He summoned fire and shot it at me. I barely blocked the attack and avoided another fireball, making me look like I was dancing more than dodging. I grit my teeth and faced Axel. “Enough of this.” I jumped into the air and slashed, my blade connecting with his weapon, making both of ours clang in unison. “You think you’re as strong as me, kid? Well—you’re wrong.” Just like that, Axel made both of our weapons move downwards. He then grinned and slashed his weapon upwards, making me shoot up into the air and fall back down. I was about to sit up and summon both of my weapons again, but Axel was already there, looking down at me with a smile. “Guess I win.” After the mission, me and Axel went and sat at the top of the train station like we always do. For a little while, both me and Axel ate in silence, looking at the sunset. “Don’t be upset about the lost, alright? I think you’re getting great at fighting too.” Axel said. I shake my head. “No—it’s not that…it’s just, Axel—why don’t you think we have to work like this almost every day? What will we accomplish if we keep on defeating Heartless?” Axel stayed silent for a moment then he answered, “There’s always an answer to everything, kid—the reason why we fight for the Organization is so that we get hearts of our own.” I look down at my feet. “Hearts of our own? Do you think maybe—“ “Hey, guys.” Both me and Axel turned, looking at a really exhausted Roxas with some grass in his hair. “What’s up?” “Where were you? You know Saïx would be pretty angry once he—“ Both me and Roxas walked into the meeting room and spotted Saïx. Once he saw Roxas, his expression didn’t show any concern and he walked over. “So—it seems you did survive that mission I gave you.” Roxas shrugged. “It was no big deal. But, seriously—what were those gears for?” Saïx stayed silent and then said, “It’s not to be your business to butt in, Roxas—but since you survived that mission, you get to go to a higher rank.” Roxas looked at the ground and suddenly, he fell over like something hit him in the back and collapsed, his eyes closed tightly. Since Roxas collapsed, he hasn’t woken up for weeks. I wait at his bedside, laying the popsicle stick that had WINNER written on it. I didn’t know what it meant exactly, but I wanted my best pal to keep it. “Wake up soon, alright?” I messed Roxas’s hair and walked out, closing the door slowly behind me. As I walk down the long staircase to the meeting room, I spotted Axel talking to Saïx. I walked down the stairs leisurely, not wanting to get noticed, but Axel noticed me and waved. I waved back and walked towards them. “Hey, you guys—how’s it going?” Saïx’s expression was always the same; mood less, showing no sign of expression. He frowned at me and turned away. “The two of you go to Castle Oblivion in a few minutes. Don’t be late.” Saïx then walked down the stairs without saying goodbye. I scowled at him. “What’s his problem? What’s Castle Oblivion?” I ask. Axel’s brow furrowed like the topic irritated him. “We’ll see when we go on the mission.” The best thing to describe Castle Oblivion was that it was huge. The castle had many rooms that had white doors that glowed faintly. As I stepped into the central room, I felt a certain connection to the place. Scenes that I hadn’t seen before flashed in my mind like a distant memory; the same spiky redhead holding my hand at the beach, me cowering in a corner of a building of some sort, and a huge explosion that rattled my senses that I could actually feel it happening. “This—this place…” I put my hand to my head as more memories flowed through me. I couldn’t make up some of them since they were all garbled up like a bad cable connection, but I could see one where the spiky redhead held out to me and I took it. I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but I understood what his lips said, “It’s a promise.” “Hey, Lexas—you feeling alright?” I give my head a slight nod and took a step forward. More memories flowed into me. “Can’t—take—all…” I grit my teeth and collapsed to the ground. The last thing I heard was Axel calling my name. My dream was a little bit fuzzy, but I could remember the spike redhead saying, “It’s a promise.” My eyes opened up weakly and I turned my head, seeing Axel sitting on a chair, his eyes closed. I smiled and grabbed my blankey, putting it around him as he snored on. “Hey, Axel—wake up.” I grabbed Axel’s cheek and pulled it. Axel’s eyes opened with surprise. “Ow! What was that for, Lexas?” I fell back, laughing as Axel rubbed the bruise on his cheek. “C’mon, sleepyhead—let’s go to the meeting room, shall we?” I stood up and was about to leave when Axel grabbed me and pulled me close to him. I felt my cheeks turned red and I looked up at Axel. “Axel—“ He suddenly let go of me and scratched his head. “I don’t know what came over me—let’s just go to the meeting room, alright?” Saïx didn’t look happy at all when both me and Axel told him that our mission to Castle Oblivion had failed. He sent us both to defeat Heartless in Twilight town, which didn’t bother us until we came in contact with a really strong Heartless named the Orcus. The Orcus attacked both me and Axel with its blade. I’d always have to dodge and avoid getting stabbed in the back while Axel fought beside me, attacking the Orcus with fire. I grimaced as the Orcus slashed at my chest, which caused a huge gash in the fabric of my cloak to form. “Aw, great—this was my favorite suit too…” I blocked the Orcus’s attack and slashed at it but it dodged the attack easily. I look at Axel and saw him about to summon another spell. This Heartless—it seems too powerful for the both of us to defeat…is it possible? I closed my eyes and I instantly sensed another form fighting us. Roxas. As both the Orcas’s blade and Axel’s weapon crossed, I yelled out, “Stop! Axel—that’s actually Roxas!” I ran in front of the two of them and held out my hands so that they both dropped their blades. The Orcus’s form dissipated and Roxas stood there, his eyes blinking like he was coming out of a dream. He noticed both me and Axel. “Wait—when did you two get here?” After a long discussion at the train station with ice cream included, Roxas told both me and Axel that he went on a mission to attack a really strong Heartless in Twilight town and thought that the both of us were the Heartless he was looking for. Axel let out a laugh. “If both me and Lexas here were Heartless—we’d both be pretty badass. Right, Lexas?” I pushed Axel and we both laughed. Roxas looked at the both of us like he was missing something but continued to eat his ice cream. The next day, the whole Organization went to the meeting room to look outside of the window where we saw a huge golden heart. “The time is coming, my friends. Soon, we’d truly be complete at last.” Xemnas smiled and outstretched his hands to the sky. “Kingdom Hearts is just a moment ahead of us.” Kingdom Hearts… The thought kept playing in my head after the mission of defeating Heartless. I sat at the top of the train station with Axel and Roxas who were laughing and goofing around. “Hey, Lexas. You listening?” I look up and I see Axel who had a big grin on his face. “What is it?” I ask. Axel took out his popsicle stick out of his mouth. “I was saying—we could go to the beach if you like tomorrow.” “What does the beach have anything to do with Kingdom Hearts?” I ask. Axel let out a laugh. “I’m saying let’s just have fun! The three of us tomorrow. You looking up to it, Lexi?” Axel arched an eyebrow at me. I smiled and said, “All right. But don’t call me Lexi.” Roxas, Axel, and me all laughed and looked at the sunset. After the next day’s mission, me, Axel, and Roxas went to the beach. The three of us all had fun, splashing water into each other’s faces and finding shells in the sand. I built a sand castle and Axel stomped on it, destroying it. “Axel!” I gave him a push so that he fell into the sand. I laughed at him as the sun shined on my hair. I wished that we could play at the beach forever but we had to go back to the Organization. The next days were the same—defeating Heartless with my two best friends, Roxas and Axel. I haven’t noticed it but Roxas’s expression changed since the beach. Every time I’d go up to him and say hi, he’d reply back but look in the distance like he was distracted. I wondered if I could do anything to help my friend. Since I had to defeat Heartless with only Roxas, I figured this was the best chance to talk to him. “Hey, Roxas—everything alright with you?” Roxas looked up at me and nodded. “Yup. Everything’s fine.” I give Roxas a quizzical look but continued to look at the blue sky above. It was sooner later that I knew what was bothering Roxas. “Hey, Lexas—can you keep this a secret?” Roxas asked. I give a nod of my head. “Sure, bud—any secret is alright with me.” Roxas let out a sigh. “Good—I was afraid…” I put an arm around Roxas’s shoulder. “You can trust me, alright? I’m not like Axel.” Roxas nodded. “Alright—I’ll only say this once so listen.” “Wait—what’re you talking about, Roxas?” I ask. Roxas sat beside me on the top of the train station after the mission and handed me an ice cream, which I gladly took. He then looked down at the ground like the idea bothered him to tell me but he did so anyway. “Lexas—do you know about our true selves? I think—I think I do…” Roxas blushed like the idea was pretty stupid, but I smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. “You thinking about Kingdom Hearts? Yeah—I’ve been worrying about that too…” Roxas shook his head. “Not Kingdom Hearts. That’s not worrying me, but—I’ve been having these dreams…” “Hey, you guys.” Both me and Roxas turned as Axel sat down beside us. He grabbed out an ice cream from his cloak pocket and began to eat it. For a little while, Axel stayed silent than asked aloud, “How are you guys doing?” “I’m doing fine. Roxas here, though—“ Roxas shook his head and made a be quiet gesture with his fingers. I face Axel again. “Tell you later. Both of us are doing alright.” Axel grinned. “Great—because Saïx asked us to go on a trio mission to Twilight town tomorrow.” The next day, me, Roxas, and Axel scourged Twilight town for Heartless to defeat. I slashed at a Heartless while Roxas and Axel fought beside me. After defeating the Heartless with my two best pals, we walked around Twilight town and spotted three kids about my age eating ice cream and sitting down on the steps of an apartment. Instinctively Axel pushed us around the back of a nearby building so that we wouldn’t get spotted.
