Axel sensed the hostitlity in the room as he waited for Xemnas to respond. What could he possibly want to talk about this time? He looked at Demyx who obviously was pouting and was not in the mood to speak to anyone. He noticed that ever since the nocturne came back from the darkness he had changed for he was now more bold, rude and acting like a rebel almost like a splitting image of Axel and Roxas himself. "I wonder what else he has not told me about?" Axel thought to himself as he looked across from where he sat. "What's your problem?" He asked in a sarcastic manner.
Axel heard Roxas and he traveled towards him bringing Larxene with him. Once he was near Roxas the flurry finally let go of her hand. He went into his fighting stance, chakrams armed and ready. He stood behind Roxas shielding him from the guards. "Are you okay?" He asked. He noticed Demyx was there as well and fighting the guards.
Axel was astonished that Mixt had fefeited his match to Xambabla he wondered why the guy was being so generious of a sudden. His only explanation in his mind was that it could be a pride thing, but he couldn't make that determination. Either way it was a great match and he was glad he got to witness it. He turned to Dexnail. "You don't have to be that sacrificial Xeol. You deserve life as well. The UnderWorld ruler can make any wish I assume. He has that much power I would think. It would be nice for all of us to get out this hell." He smiled shaking his head a bit.
"You still haven't given your reason, about why you hate me so I guess you are too much of a coward and come out and tell me." Axel challenged ignoring Marluxia's talk about power and so on. "What about power, you had it and blew it when you tried to take over the organization. I bet it is resentment of why you hate me," he had his flames rise a little bit higher.
Axel heard Xion and Demyx's conversation. "She is still after Xion that is her intention I am surprised that you didn't see her Demyx." he replied in a nonchantly at the group and made a portal so that they could travel to the World of Dragons. "Come on you guys the train is leaving," he replied with humor to it.
He caught her arm and led her out with him down the hall passing by the room where Demyx was present. He starred at the nocturne who seemed very upset and he was speaking to the Superior with annoyance waiting for him to respond. Axel felt her touch and he hoped Demyx didn't notice them walk by. "Let's just get this over with," he thought while shaking his head.
"This will be a snap," he slowly went down with her, but when they reached the ground Demyx was no where to be seen. "Great now where the hell did he go? I don't like us getting seperated like this," he gripped his fists as his fire began to heat up.
"You don't need to get upset with me," Axel shook his head from her snapping at him. "You screwed up and you have to live with that for now. It will pass, but the question is what will you do?" Out of no where the boss appeared in the room and said that there was to be a meeting and then left. "Okay so now I'm being bossed around again. We'll talk about this later. I don't want to piss him off more," he waited for her so they would walk together on their way to the where the meeting would be held.
"Very well then," he led her closer to the roof top until both of them stood on top of it overlooking the surroundings. Axel looked for any traces of Xion or Roxas by using his keen eyes to search the area. "Now how do we get down from here?" He noticed some vines that looked like they had been used. "I have an idea," he said to her.
Axel unfolded his arms and listened to what she was saying to him. "So you only stayed because my element made you feel warm and protected? That's an odd way of looking at it I suppose," he scratched his head and then looked at her again. "And what are going to do about the one that left? What are you going to tell him?" He wasn't used to seeing Larxene so vulnerable. It was amusing, but pathetic at the same time.
"Xion and Roxas went up ahead so we should catch up with them," Axel pointed out to her. "You want to lead the way or me?"
Axel watched Demyx leave the room and he looked back at Larxene with his eyebrow raised. "He does have a point. You can't use us like that and I think I'm being strung along too," he sat back on the bed grateful that his jaw was healed, but still upset with the whole situation. "I mean why else would you stay on my lap when I pulled you close and you didn't pull away. It is because you love my element so much or what?" he was confused and didn't know what else to think at the time.
"Oh great so if he wins we get to be stuck down here for all enternity. That's not going to happen. I rather we all get out especially the organization members," he thought to himself. "That's good for you I guess, but what about the rest of us? Do you think the rest of us wants to be stuck in this hell forever?" he asked with his arms crossed.
Leon frowned as he couldn't believe Cloud was taking the situation lightly for he could of lost his life due to his own cockyness. "And how am I supposed to do that Cloud? Go back and attempt to get it back from him? Just walk up to him and say hey can I have my weapon back and then get slashed or burned in the process? I don't think so. Well at least I hurt him too," he grumbled. "Man that guy was dangerous, but at least you saved my @ss again," he sighed and sent a glare onto his friend in case he were to brag or smirk. "Well anyway I hope you got some information about them. Like what are they called and..." he eyed Cloud suspicously seeing him with a bag of munny that he didn't have before. "Wait a minute. Where did you get that munny Cloud?" He sat up, crinked his neck and then stood on his feet for he could tell that Cloud had some things to tell him and was holding back. "Okay out with it. What did you do this time Cloud? How the hell did you get me out of there and how did you get that munny? If you had that the whole time without telling me I'm going to be very cross with you." Axel after finished killing people, was standing on one of the rooftops and recording everything he saw with a digital camcorder that he found in one of the houses that he burned to the ground. He had destroyed one hundred lives and did extent of damage upon the property of the town. "Interesting. I have never seen the Superior that furious for that he has to force any of us members to grovel at his feet. What a perfect black mail if any of those decide to piss me off," he smirked. He was three feet away from everything that was happening and caught Demyx's and Larxene's oaths of loyality from his present location. Putting it away, the assassin appeared and brought him Leon's weapon, placing it in his hand. Axel eyed it and held it in his grip as he portaled to the present area where Xemnas was standing looking down upon the melodious nocturne and the savage nymph probably with malcontent. He also saw Xigbar and Xaldin as well and ignoring them completly since Xigbar never came back, he approached the Superior as he smirked at Demyx and Larxene passing by both of them and stood in front of Xemnas. "I bring you a gift. And I have searched this town and have not found any nobodies here except for a bunch of heartless. Its quite a shame, but those other two warriors may seem like they have strong hearts especially the one who nearly sliced me with that huge banadaged sword of his to save his friend. I believe their names are Cloud and Leon for I heard them talking to one of another in battle when the other was getting attacked." He handed Xemnas the weapon, wiped the blood of his chakrams afterwards and had them disappear while starring his emerald eyes upon the two lower ranking members. In a nonchalant passive manner he eyed them focusly his attention upon the water wielder especially on account the nocturne was his underling. "Oh hey there Demyx. So what kind of mess did you get yourself into this time? I would love to hear your explanation. I do wonder why both Xigbar and Xaldin are here too when Xigbar was supposed to help me search for more nobodies." He eyed Larxene savoring the fact of rubbing this humilation of hers into her face. "And who would ever see the day where Larxene would be civil and groveling before the boss? This is all to facincating," he crossed both of his arms glancing at her and then Demyx once again awaiting both of their responses.
Axel bent his head back and let out a huge laugh, his voice filled with mirth as he was savoring seeing Marluxia in his flame circle and Demyx backing him up with his own threats making the fire wielder appear more of a threat. "Flames close up," he closed his hands together as they began to draw closer together. "You want to apologize and tell me why you hate me or do you prefer to be a black flower?" His power would turn the nature dweller turn into ashes if given the chance.
"No that is okay Dem," he patted him on the shoulder. "You can save your music for another time when we get out of here. Larxene and I would love to hear it. I like it anyway," he grinned.
Axel noticed Xeol wanted to speak with him and he stood there wondering what he wanted to discuss with him. "Yeah I guess, but make it quick because I want to know wins this fight," he said politely.
Axel's temper began to wain a bit his expression from pure rage to nearly melchony. He was filled with mixed emotions, but glad that Demyx was admitting that he could heal so in a way he forced it out of him. His was now suspicious on Larxene now, that she was spending time with him and now she was expressing herself to Demyx. He hated to be lead around either and would feel pretty perturbed to learn that he was being used as well. He had never had to worry about this kind of thing before at least not to his knowledge. It was a frightening experience and even now he wondered since they had escaped from the UnderWorld that if they even were able to reach forward as if they had inherited a heart. Maybe it was true or not, the feelings they had never before surfaced had another thing to question. Were they really phanotm emotions they gained from the rememberance of memories or was it their minds playing tricks on them. Or was it real? Dimissing the thought he focused back on his answer to Demyx. "She punched me in the jaw and then I retreated to my own room not wanting to be seen like this. She apologized to me and then we just bonded. However, she is giving mixed signals to you and me both. I don't know who to trust and I say if sh is going to continue then to stop before she hurts someone and it would be better if she were not to have either of us or both of us." He answered truthfully. He sighed clenching more from talking so much and cringed a bit more.
The boiling water didn't faze him as much as Larxene though it still stung like none other. Good thing his element was fire, for the heat of it felt good, but the liquid part was what made him yell in pain. "Ahhhhh!!!!! That fucking burns!" His flesh was peeling away as it now under the third layer of skin worse than a severe sunburn. Reacting from the pain for a moment, he decided to let his anger go even though he heard what Larxene said to the musician, but he pushes the impulses of the nerves being emotionaly and physically hurt aside and concentrated his efforts of his rage to the one who was responsiable. " You better heal us right now or I will burn you to a crisp! Yeah my assassin heard your little conversation with yourself while he was fixing you food. You took advantage of your helplessness when you really didn't need it to make us like your slaves or your servants. What do you think that was one of the reasons why I didn't come back?I'm not stupid Demyx. I know you."
(OOC: The assassin listens to Axel over Demyx and Axel would not intentionally make such a foolish mistake by telling it things he recited that he didn't want it to hear, but since this was posted I'll let it go. - _ -) Axel immeditely coughed and gagged sputtering from the water that struck him from above. Out of reflex he gripped himself and holding himself tight the water was in a way freezing him. His teeth chattered as he shivered and then heated up his body the flames coming forth turning the water droplets into steam. "I didn't tell it to say that. You are blowing this out of proportion again and you do not need assistance from watching tv while sitting on your ass and by the looks of it I think you miraciously got better."
