Chapter 4: Captured
“Ugh!” I grunted as I collided with the floor, letting out a long breath of air. Being blind right now was seriously getting on my nerves. The floor was hard and cold, as if it were made out of stone. By the sound of my fall echoing around the room, this was a huge room… There was no way I was on the beach anymore.
There was a voice… That stupid, idiotic voice was calling out my name again. Why wouldn’t it stop pounding against my head? Then I realized who it was…
“Axel. ” I snarled under my breath. I heard him laugh slightly, his feet resounding on the floor behind me as he stepped out of the portal I had just come out of.
“Yes?” he chuckled, walking towards me. Taking a moment to breathe, a light bulb went off in my head and my expression changed. I propped myself up with my arms and turned towards him, my anger completely drained from my face and replaced with a pathetically defeated look. I glanced down towards the floor, still facing him.
“Will you help me up?” I murmured quietly, looking up at him with big watery eyes. I heard him exhale softly in surprise and stumble backwards a step before he snapped out of it and smirked.
“So the damsel in distress finally admits that she needs help…” he chuckled to himself before walking over to me. I heard his footsteps stop only a foot away from my head and I looked up toward to source of the noise and stuck out my hand in that general direction. He snickered, but rolled his eyes and reached for my hand anyway.
I felt his hand grasp mine and I smiled, my expression transforming from innocent to wicked in a split second. Too late, Axel realized what I was doing and tried to pull his hand away from my grip unsuccessfully. Shifting my weight, I threw him across the room with a grunt and rolled into a somersault, picking up my rod and landing on my feet in the process. Axel loudly collided with the wall only twenty feet away from where I stood. Snarling, I whipped my head around at him and swung my rod up, taking a defensive stance.
“Okay,” I demanded, yelling now, “What in the heck is going on here?! Where am I, you pervert?! Why in the world did you kidnap me?! If you had paid enough attention while you were stalking me, then you would know that I don’t have anything valuable, you imbecile!” As I was saying this, I walked over to where he was slumped on the floor. I grabbed his shirt in my fist and pulled his face toward mine, glaring threateningly at him. “What do you want from me?” I growled, tightening my grip on his shirt. I heard him snicker and then smirk, obviously not intimidated by me, but not making the attempt to attack me either.
“You were right, Axel. She does have quite the temper…” I heard a voice call out form somewhere… above me? My unseeing eyes looked up for only a second before I was suddenly flying backwards, unable to stop myself from slamming into the floor. It wasn’t until I felt the throbbing bruise on my face that I realized Axel had punched me. Flipping up onto my feet, I looked over at him menacingly, daring him to do that again. He just snickered and took a step backward before he… disappeared? His presence vanished as what sounded like some kind of portal in the air closed up where he once was. I cursed under my breath and braced myself for an attack.
“Now, now,” I heard the same voice from before call out to me, “It isn’t polite for a lady to curse…” The voice resounded quietly and the slight echo in the room helped me pinpoint exactly where the voice was coming from. I stared up in that direction and glared at the source.
“If it isn’t polite then why does Larxene do it all of the time?” a slightly high and reedy voice that sounded like a teenage boy asked randomly, making me jump. It was then I realized that there was more than one person in the room…
“Shut up, Demyx.” A girly voice threatened... was this Larxene?
“What? I was only telling the tru- ACK! Larxene! Don’t throw those at me!! You might actually hit me!” The voice from before- Demyx- complained.
“Serves you right, you little insect…” Larxene muttered under her breath.
“Larxene, we don’t want to kill the boy, now do we?” A new voice pitched in, lower than the others, but it had a slightly amused tone to it.
“At least maim him first. Otherwise, it’s no fun.” Another voice added. I think it was a guy…
“Hey, we don’t want to kill off our fellow members, now do we?” This person’s voice was met with silence before he laughed loudly. “Okay, maybe not right now…”
“Hmmm… Xylia, do you think we should-?” This voice was interrupted by yet another and it was getting harder and harder for me to track who was talking. They kept on interrupting each other at the same time.
“Oh, no you don’t.” Yet another voice called out. “Don’t you dare give her any ideas, Ximena. You know what happened last time and I am not cleaning up your mess again.”
“Oh come on, Vexen. You are such a spoilsport…” There was a swishing sound, as if this person was waving their hand in the air. “Just because Ximena covered for me, doesn’t mean she’s the one who gave me the idea. If you want to blame anyone, blame Zexion. He’s the one who stole my book collectio-”
“Now don’t you try and pin this on me!” A slightly angry voice called out. This one was definitely a guy… “It was Luxord. He framed me!”
“What’s the matter, Zexy? Can’t take it?” Someone chuckled. Apparently this was Luxord.
“I thought I told you not to call me that!” Zexion growled.
“Here we go again…” Someone muttered under their breath.
“I wonder how long it’ll take for you guys to shut up and realize that we still have a guest.” Someone called out, stopping their arguing. By this point I was already sitting on the floor, bored out of my mind with my head resting in my palm. I yawned.
“If you idiots are done squabbling like a bunch of old married couples fighting over a bingo game, I’d like to get some answers. But please, don’t let me interrupt your fine conversation.” I called out sarcastically, my pole already in its shrunken form inside of one of my pockets. One of them laughed.
“I like her. She’s funny.” She giggled slightly. It wasn’t Larxene or the Ximena girl, so it must have been Xylia. I snorted, unamused, but glanced questioningly up at her with my unseeing eyes. There was a sigh and a shaking of a head.
“We apologize for our rudeness. After all, we are the ones who brought you here…” There was a long and uncomfortable silence afterwards. I waited.
“Soooo…” I drawled, trying to hint that I still had no clue what I was doing there. Apparently I didn’t hint strong enough. I sighed and rolled my eyes. “And you brought me here becaa-aauuse…?” He finally got the hint.
“We brought you here to see if you were organization material.” The voice replied, as if it were obvious. I still waited in silence for him to explain. Many moments passed. Finally, I groaned.
“Come on!” I complained. “I’ve been sitting here for who knows how long, waiting for some decent answers, and that’s the best you can come up with? That’s pathetic!” I stood up, brushing off the back of my pants with my hands, before walking away from the wall.
“I mean even I could come up with something better then that! I would say ‘Silence! You’re a hostage. You have no right to ask such questions!’” As I spoke the phrase, I changed my voice, mimicking the one who answered me. “Or maybe ‘We brought you here to tell you that you have just won one million munny and we just wanted to give it to you in person before sending you on your way.’ or even ‘We are a traveling circus who are looking for new performers! We want to offer you a job as an acorn-eating acrobat that likes to beat people with a stick! Now watch me as I do a silly dance in a pink tutu with my pet monkey, George, and eat a whole potato at exactly the same time!’”
I waved my hands in the air, pretending to do a silly dance. I heard multiple snickers escape some of the mouths of the people in the room as they tried to hold in their laughter. There was an angry grunt and the air patterns shifted. Realizing what was happening, I dodged to the left just as something sharp and hot zoomed past my forehead.
“I DO NOT ACT LIKE THAT!!!” The man yelled angrily, huffing slightly.
“If you say so…” I mumbled, shrugging indifferently as I shuffled a bit more to the left and away from the weapon...
The man flicked his hand and the sharp object flew quickly back towards its owner. I let out a sigh of relief, glad I wasn’t being attacked anymore. Or at least I thought I wasn’t…
Another object flew past my head and I ducked into a somersault. “Geez! What the freak was-” I didn’t get the chance to finish my question before I was suddenly being attacked by all of these weapons. Spears, arrows, bullets, and kunai of some sort rained down towards me with speed, making me yelp and run for my life. Narrowly avoiding getting pelted and pierced through with those things, I desperately searched my options. I knew I wouldn’t last much longer dodging like this. However, I didn’t know if there was a door and I didn’t have time to check or I might get destroyed in the process.
I turned abruptly and a speeding bullet just barely flew past me, singeing the end of one of my braids. Thinking fast, I stuck my hand into my pocket and pulled out my rod. Pressing the end into the wall, I clicked the button and it quickly extended, rapidly shoving me to the other end of the room with its force. Not wasting a second, I pushed off of the floor with my pole and began to climb blindly, following my instinct and the echoes of sound to guide me. Now I knew why the voices were above me now. I was in a room that had seats built high above into the walls. No wonder the attacks were coming from above me!
I ran up the walls, jumping off the sides of the chairs in order to stay up. I ran around one of the chairs, making the attack rain on them partially too.
“OW!!! Xigbar!! Watch where you’re shooting that thing!!!” one of them screeched in pain as some of the bullets hit him.
“Sorry, dude.” Xigbar called out, laughing slightly. “I can’t help it if she runs in front of you.” I giggled and ran away from the annoyed guy to find another shield. The spears weren’t coming from above anymore, but rather from my front as I ran across the wall, so I had to be a lot more agile and careful where I stepped. Then I felt it. A spear heading straight for my chest. I didn’t have time to dodge it I realized, too late. Instinctively, I raised my arm up to block the blow and before I knew it, the spear rebounded against my pole, barely grazing my shoulder instead of cutting right though me.
I blinked. Wait a second… I thought. Swinging my arm around, I deflected some of the arrows and kunai that were being thrown at me with the long rod I held in my arm. It’s like practicing with that ball… Realizing I had an advantage, I stopped jumping, letting gravity pull on me as I fell towards the floor. The weapons flew towards me and I grinned, having fun as I deflected them towards the other people in the room. Cries of surprise resounded in the room as the weapons flew towards their heads and the people firing the objects stopped immediately. Unable to stop myself from falling, I let my feet press against the wall and push me forward, twirling into a tumble before landing on the floor with my feet. I let out a relieved sigh and tried to regain my breath, my hands on my knees as I panted from running so much.
I heard someone behind me clap and I whirled to find who else but- “Axel.” I growled. He laughed. A voice from one of the chairs above us called out to him.
“Axel… We need to see how well she responds in one-on-one combat…” they sang quietly. I only had a second before I felt the air shift and two weapons appeared in his hands. He smirked.
“Sorry, kid. Superior’s orders. I’m gonna have to hurt you.” He let the weapons twirl in his fingers as he took an offensive stance. I ‘humphed’ and whipped my pole upward, one of the ends facing him as I also took an offensive stance.
“How about this? You beat me and I’ll let you keep that pretty head of yours. If you can’t touch me, which you won’t, I’ll wipe that smirk off of your face.” He laughed.
“It’s a deal.” He replied, lunging forward.
Yup. This was definitely going to be a long day…
So the entire organization has shown up (she has yet to hear or recognize one particular member...) but if you can name which orgy member is which, congrads! You get a cookie!! (And an honorable mention! ^^)
The big fight between Axel and Nix is coming up... Oh, I am definetly going to have fun with that one.
So sorry if the characters are ooc, but I might be able to change that in the future! (I spent an oober amount of my already miniscule savings getting both of the games! YAY!! ...but I'm stuck in the first one and I can't beat Cerberus... I really do suck at video games...)
So yeah, my characters (c) by me
Kingdom Hearts and the most awesomest organization (c) by not me...
So basically if you try to claim (etc.) any of this as your own, you're screwed! Isn't the world wonderful?!!
