Organization XIII's Rivals

Zexion nodded and turned. "But Saix, let me tell you something...before I go...Larxene and Axel...their relationship is much deeper than of Roxas's...what they feel...what they believe...is rather explicit..."
Then darkness circled him and he disappeared, appearing in Larxene's room. he hadn't gotten the chance to discuss what she had found out during her mission at the Shrouded City and he would like to find out...but wait a moment, wasn't she still...?

Larxene had rather hastily finished her shower after Axel had showed up, as she felt a bit...upset at Axel, actually invading her privacy. After she had finished, she had wrapped the white towel around her once more and stepped out of the bathroom...almost half-expecting to see Axel out there, smirking confidently, so cocky yet sexy...
But instead, there was Zexion, who had looked up at her a bit startled.

Before she could say anything, Zexion took a step back, looking away. If he had feelings, he would've felt embarrassed, if not a bit nervous...
"Very sorry, I forgot you were still in the showers, as the only thing on my mind was to question you about your mission - which you seemed to have forgotten so conviently...perhaps spending too much time with Axel everywhere but I shall leave until-"

"You're getting into our business again?" Larxene said, testily, as she crossed her arms. "Look Zexion, knowing what Axel and I are doing 24/7 is more than enough, but when you're teleporting into my room, unwanted, and perhaps trying to meddle with what we're doing...you're really crossing the line."

"Which is why I shall leave," he said, quickly. "But when you're done...dressing...then come see me...as I have said, you still have yet to report what you have discovered yet..."
Darkness circled him and he quickly appeared in his room, giving a sigh of relief. She certainly was angry about this all but...with her and Axel...their relationship really was getting too deep...

 

Saïx had raised his eyebrows suspiciously at what Zexion's parting words were, and he knew what they could mean, but it..couldn't be possible. Gazing at the servant Nobody he sent to spy on Axel for a while now, unbeknownst to them, since he figured he couldn't depend on Zexion if he wanted to know, he waited until it reported what he had found out.

One it was finished, Saïx's eyes narrowed dangerously, faint glow coming to his eyes, as the sudden 'feeling' of anger, or the memory there of, was swirling in his inside and intestines. Axel and Larxene...those fools. He slammed his fist into the desk in the table in rage, the "X" scar on his face cracking a little, as he breathed to try and remain cool. It had to be true, as it fitted Zexion's last comment perfectly. Snarling, he got up stiffly in his chair, summoning his weapon from the darkness, and opening the flaps, the slight metal clink resonating in his ears. However far they've gone, they had to be stopped.

Immediately.

And so, he portalled out to place his presence to Axel's quarters, wanting to "speak" to him.

Axel had been thinking over whether he should aplogize to Larxene for his intruding, after all, despite his reasoning, it was still disrespectful, even for her boyfriend. Debating it more, he decided in the end to simply visit her and see what to do from there, and with a lurge, bounced himself up the bed, his mind on the female so much, that he didn't hear or sense the sudden person that appeared in his room. As he was about to transport out, all he heard was a slight, sword sounding slash, as he turned to eye the new visitor a little too late, as the attack hit him in mid-section as he gasped, and send him on a painful crash in the wall, almost cracking it, and he felt down into the floor in a heap as he grunted, incredibly shocked. Wincing, he weakly raised his head up from the ground, knowing who it was by, but wishing it wasn't.

Though as he eyed him, Axel cursed under his breath, as Saïx was standing there with a hazardous glow in his eyes, and a pit of dread stumbled in his stomach. This wasn't good.

"Good day, Number VIII. I think we have need to have a little talk."

 

Sensing Saix's 'scent' within Axel's room, he knew that he had figured out exactly what Zexion had been trying to say...hopefully, he wouldn't get as far as to alert the Superior...
Hearing a soft swooshing sound, he tilted his head up, to see Larxene, her arms crossed, a frown upon her countenance.
"Hello, Larxene," he greeted.

"Alright, what is it that you want to know?" she asked, walking closer to him. "What I discovered?"
She then launched an explanation of her observations and what she had managed to discover of the enemies' powers and tactics.
"...And that is all," she finished. "Happy?"

"...Thank you," Zexion said, simply. Before Larxene could just transport out, he said, "But wait..."

"What is it now?" she asked, exasperated, turning to him. "Have I forgotten to tell you something? Or do you want to know more into my personal life? Like when I take a shower so you can come and intrude anytime you want? Hm?"

"Oh no, only so I can know when and where exactly Axel enjoys...spending some time with you," Zexion remarked, smoothly, leading the conversation exactly to what he wanted to discuss about - Axel.

"What is it about Axel and me that intrigues you so badly?" Larxene asked, exasperated. "No one will truly know otherwise and it's not like it disillusions us...and we're definitely not getting in your way, so stop getting in our way and just leave us alone." Electricty crackled along her body, and if he persisted, she just might have to enforce what she had said...

 

"What kind of talk?" Axel questioned carefully as he got up from the ground, a stinging agonizing grief on his top body a part surging his nerves, suddenly sensing that his presence here was for the worst, and he couldn't help the fear that gripped and clutched him inside. Saïx almost appeared...abnormally terrifying, and it was like one wrong move, and Axel will find himself fading into darkness.

Getting himself back on his feet, he breathed quickly as he gazed at Saïx, seemingly waiting in anxiousness. Whatever it was, it got him to give one harsh hit on him, and Axel couldn't think of anything that serious that he had done so far. Except...

Saïx's eye turned into snake-like slits, and he raised his weapon again, as he spoke coldly, the tone chilling anyone's spine. "I think you know very well what I'm hinting here, Number VIII. Let's just say you did the greatest taboo you have done in your nonexistant life, and that is saying something. Let's just say, Number XII will get a earful as well." He noted how Axel's face suddenly paled in realization and in horror, even confused. Good. He didn't waste any time on how to solve this problem. "I won't report to the Superior unless is necessary, and that means going by my rules. You will not speak, touch, or do anything with Number XII, ever, again. You will both be spied on 24/7 on the clock, to be sure you won't do anything out of line, I have my ways and you will follow this without question, or face the consequences with Master Xemnas. Understand me, boy?"

 

ooc: rofl. When I first joined, I had a funny pun for that. Am is his nick name, as in A.M, time wise. The pun was that the reason his name was A.M was because after his dates with girls, he would go home with her at P.M, but they would both be goin to bed at A.M.

Idk if you guys get it or not, but you have to watch a certain family guy episode to get it

Max began to chuckle as he watched. "By the gods, he might be even more helpful then I thought. The poor fool has no idea what this can lead to. As a matter a fact, my luck might have just increased" max said with a grin on his face. Since he also had been focusing on Saix, he had a dark receptor follow him as well. But now, max was excited, almost as frilly lilly as a girl meeting justin timberlake (by the way, I hate that wuss). "Literally, I might be elliminating 3 goals at once, especially with the one named zexion." max said.

ooc: wow twilight, thank you so much. Saix just made things so much easier

 

But......*sigh*....fine.......i'm sorry for disturbing you Vexen.....

Heh....no wonder why his name's Vexen....he gets vexed easily.....

She walked away exploring the castle as he said.

If I get in trouble for wandering I'll say that Vexen permitted me to.......

 

Axel felt like he couldn't even breath, his mind and boy felt numb and broken as he had heard Saïx's words, all of them. Not talk to Larxene? Not touch her, or even...no, he couldn't do that. There's no way after he had come this far, and he wasn't going to lose her. All that they had passed through, their time together, her words, their fights and challenges...he wouldn't be able to go on without her there, it was...too much to ask for. He said he loved her, and despite being a Nobody, he meant them as if he had his heart beating in his chest right then and there. Shaking as his insides filled with some type of sorrow, mixed with fright, and anger, he clenched his fists as he shut his eyes. And he also said that Larxene was going to be talked to as well, and...he could not let that happen, she had become too important. The results will be dire for his actions, but he was willing. His tone filled with silent rage, and his own dangerously like Saïx's, he growled determinedly. "No."

With that, opening his blazing eyes, he summoned his chakrams in wheels of fire by his sides, grasping them with a resonating clank as he glared down defiantly to his obstacle. Axel knew he was strong, but Saïx was stronger, and what he was doing was almost reckless, might cost him his "life", yet he wasn't going to be pushed around. In a seething hush, he said to him as he took a stance, "You're going to have to see me fade for me to follow your orders. I'm not parting ways from her even if you shove that claymore down my throat. Got it memorized?"

Then another thought ocurred to him. How did he find out?

 

She walked around some and found a couple rooms. One of which was the room that Saix and Axel were in.

......huh.....

 

"DAMMIT!" max yelled as he shot up. He then snapped his fingers, as a minor heartless appeared, and he said to it "Signafy thorn of the current events" max said to it, and then the heartless dissapeared. "He cannot die"

 

She stood outside Axel's room looking at the door and the number above it.

.......hmmm......

OOC- What number is Axel?

 

OOC: Guess you see him after Vexen's description...Axel's number is 8...

Saïx just gave a slight smirk, huffing at his oppositon, but looking at him with almost a expression of...pity, not that it was very visible. "I have no need to fight over this, Number VIII. You're pathetic. You're going to fight for something that doesn't exist, for a female that you deluded yourself to be in love with. Here I thought you will amount to something." At this, he stared his underling down as he gave him a ultimatum. "Do what I say, or face the Superior."

"I made my decision," Axel kept pushing, not at all fazed and not resigning. He gripped his chakrams tight, knowing very well what was awaiting him. But he couldn't risk him to tell Xemnas either, as not only will he be in danger, so will Larxene, and that wasn't going to happen. Facing him fearlessly, he smirked, despite his doubts and insecurities on this whole thing, as he dealt, "How about we have a battle? If I win, you'll leave both me and Larxene alone, and remain quiet. If you win...you can do what you wish...with me and I'll do what you ask. But 'Number XII', will stay out of it. I know is me that you want to deal with most of all. Actually, I've been getting quite popular in that category, now that I think about it...but anyway, what do you say?"

He was grasping at straws, very, very thin ones, as he knew that he might die, more at the fact that is Saïx hits Berserk stage, he didn't know how will he deal. Axel had never fought their second-in-command before, and though he had watched his fights a few times, it was different being in it.

 

OOC: I think she's still there :D If not, I say otherwise lol

Reixa looked up at Max, startled by this outburst. "Who?"
It was then that she looked at the dark receptor, seeing Axel and Saix, both infuriated. He cannot die... was he referring to Axel?!
Now nervous, Reixa watched the dark receptor carefully, saying "Over my dead body..." She couldn't let him die either...

 

She was still staring at Axel's door.(should I knock?:D)

.......number 8.........is it the eighth door from the hall?....or......what?

 

Max watched carefully. "The fool. Oh well. If worse comes to worse, then I will just have him ripped to shreds" max said, as he started to calm down a tiny bit. A few roses in his room then dropped into the ground, falling into portals of darkness. "I need to begin a few preperations" he muttered as the black roses dropped.

 

Reixa shrugged. The roses were falling, so it wasn;t like she could leave anyway. She continued to watch the receptors intently, waiting for the next move. If the fight got out of hand, she would need an excuse to leave...

 

"If you want, then you can help him, but it might be wise for you to have your hood on so that way he doesn't know that it was you." max said to Reixa. If axel was killed, then it would effect larxene, and vice versa. Those two were to valuable to be killed

 

Reixa's eyes brightened, as she nodded. "I think I'll wait though, he may be able to handle it for a while. If anything threatening occurs, you wont have enough time to turn and look at me. I'll already be gone." She gave him a serious look before returning to the dark receptor.

 

"Making deals to get out of this now, are we?" Saïx simply questioned, though it wasn't meant to be answered. He raised his claymore threateningly, the slight smirk still on his lips. He didn't care for the life of the redhead, and he could perhaps be easily replaceable, though the Superior was quite fond of him. However, if he dies in the long run, he would just make a liable story. "So this is how far you've gone, to waste your good use to someone like XII. What a shame. Hmm...I'll take it. I'm warning you, however, Axel, that I might lose control if you wish to fight me. Are you sure?"

"Perfectly," was all Axel answered blankly as he glared at him with just as much viciousness, as he tried to calm himself down, knowing exactly what he meant when he had spoken of to 'lose control'. Saïx was a powerhouse, kind of, however, he was blind when under the moon's essence, maybe he could find a advantage there, yet the Lunar Diviner never felt pain when in that mode, so whatever he did, wouldn't be useful in stopping him. Might as well write his will now, but for some reason, he felt confident, and he nonchalantly added. "Though, I don't want my room disposed of, despite the ending of this, leave it undestroyed, thanks."

Saïx sighed, knwoing that once Axel had his mind set on something, he wouldn't change it. At least this might be the end of this troublemaker, and this false relationship he had with Larxene, though he wouldn't underestimate him either. You never know with Axel. And he thought the friendship with Roxas was pushing it. "Very well, as you will want to." With that, he lowered his weapon slightly, before heading towards him, raising a eyebrow as the male stiffen in alert and got ready for what he might surprisingly throw out. Nevertheless, when he reached Axel, he simply grabbed his shoulder harshly, the pyro glaring down at the hand, before he portalled them to a vacant stationary, and a favorite part of the castle.

Addled Impasse.

OOC: The place where you fight Saïx, basically.

 

Max had his dark receptor follow. "This is becoming troublesum, and it appears that I will have to bait the rat much sooner then I thought." max said.

 

"Mm, how disappointing..." Reixa replied in an almost monotone. She was watching the Dark Receptor as though her life depended on it. But this was easier than spying with the chance of being caught. This way, she could just portal there when neccessary.
Then her mind drifted to what Axel's reaction would be if she showed up there to help him... he would probably kill her if he had the chance...

OOC: MAn, Rei's too emo XD
