"Saïx?" Vexen repeated with wide eyes, staring at Zexion with actual derision, as he went another illusion. He didn't think it would have to come to this. "Saïx? Zexion, Saïx is worse than Xemnas in his own right, not to mention that he's perhaps the second strongest in this Organization. He'll pummel Axel. Do you really think we have to take such measures? He'll do exactly what Xemnas would....separate them or else..." "Looking for my girlfriend," Axel replied to her honestly, though more as a careless joke than anything, because he knew now not to fall on easy prey. It might have worked if Axel didn't hear voices from far off from where he stalled, and he had recognized one immediately. Larxene's. Then there was another one that sounded like the imposter in front of him, or what he thought it was. It didn't matter if it was really Reixa or not, he had suceeded in what he was even here for. Axel gave her a pititful and sarcastic smile. "And if you excuse me, I think I found her." With that, he portalled off again, more closer to where he thought the discussion was taking place. It was quiet now, but he knew not for long if Larxene was there. And Reixa.
"No, I don't," Larxene responded thinly, her lips pursed in a displeased manner, her hands dusting off her new robe outfit. It consisted more than the cloak, as she found out when she opened the cloth. There were black pants, and black tank top, as wera as high heeled boots for her like as if they've taken her measurements without her notice, which wouldn't surprise her, really. She didn't know what went on in her coma. Clenching her fists as her anger was slowly returning, she glared at the man before her. "I don't think taking people out of their normal lives without their permission and making them into soldiers are what I would call, 'drastic measures'. You're toying with humans, and I feel like I'm some robotic puppet that has to do a job she never agreed to!" Her voice had raised as every syllable was uttered from her mouth, gulping hard as she trained her vision on this...guy. The one who made her that way, there was no doubt now. It was hard to hold back her power at this point, but she somehow managed.
Axel shook his head a she explained. "No, we actually get along well, so far that we've seen each other. I don't understand why he wants a fight, it was....random, but it seems that it's just a spar. We never get to fight around here, excluding the Preps and Skaters, but that's a given. Males just feel the need to enhance their strength. I've been waiting for this type of thing too. Though I won't give my best. Is a spar, after all." They walked in step, comfortably going through the tunnel as it opened to the dormitories at the end. From here, they had to part ways, as they had to go to their respective bedrooms. Axel placed his eyes at the black-haired girl next to him. "Alright then, I guess I'll see you later on the roof?"
OOC: Later, Deathsight44! "And what kind of plan?" Vexen questioned, feeling a bit pressured, not able to think of anything at the moment. "There's not much we can do unless we go there ourselves, but I don't know whether that will make the problem worse." "Well, what a terse a**hole," Axel muttered to himself, not caring of that he had a point on Larxene being used as someone's disposal. Zexion's, and maybe even Vexen. Anything else from those two, and he swore he'll burn them to the fiery pits of hells, or what it would feel like, Xemnas' reaction and punishment be damned. He was getting really tired of their meddling, and Axel had only a thin thread left that if they butt in again, he would have to take it into his own hands. At least the *** helped in telling him Larxene was alright, but was in the castle. Portalling himself, thinking about any room, he found himself covered by darkness, and transported somewhere inside, his eyes searching as his vision of black cleared. What Max had commented though left him thinking, about that they were the ones who had a chance about becoming, what? Humans? This wasn't time to think over this, and the arrogant queer was probably talking nonsense. Axel just wanted to see how Larxene was, and if she was in a battle, to enjoy the sight.
Tifa laughed, watching as the crowd disappeared, setting her brown eyes at Axel, after staring at Cloud's back from him walking away. "I'll meet you there, Manwhore. Kay?" Axel nodded his head, before walking away to head for his dorm, to get ready. He stopped when he remembered that Rei was also there, and walked back the few steps he sauntered. He gave her a small smile, before glancing at Tifa's back as she was leaving for the roof. He didn't want to simply ignore a new friend, and she had agreed to see this battle of theirs. Axel hoped he wasn't rusty, it has been so long since he took out his chakrams to kill. "If you want, you can keep me company as I walk to the dorm building. Since, you know, you're still in your bathing suit. Unless you want to see the fight that way, and go with Tifa..."
OOC: Actually, we can just make it that he excused himself from Roxas, and was wondering what was taking Larxene so long, so he went to find out, hence, why he's there xP.
Axel stared at his suppose Larxene, after he questioned her appearance outloud, before smiling cryptically, holding back laughter. Now he could see through it as 'she' got closer. If this was Zexion's way of playing a game, it was not well done, almost funny. Even if he did perhaps do a amazing job, the whole movement of Larxene was utterly off. She wasn't that pathetic, to run around like she was some lost little girl, Larxene had too much pride than that. If she was hurt, she would keep it to herself and not make it obvious. Zexion was really taking a lot of standards, and he wondered why he couldn't just leave him and Larxene alone already. Axel was getting irritated by this whole interception. It was then he heard another voice, taking away his amusement, a male one that sounded very familiar. It was low,ver low, but he could just hear it barely. Axel swirled his head back to the door that he had been examining, to unfortunately find the least unpleasant person he wanted to encounter. He smirked however, his eyes blinking mockingly. "My, just the one I didn't want to see. Even Spitfire would've been better than you."
OOC: Yes! So I'm not the only that this is happening to. It keeps getting back to normal though. I thought the forum was getting screwed on me... "Can I change first? I don't exactly like to fight in my still wet swimming trunks," Axel remarked, his green eyes going over the people now here. Irritating Yuffie, his unfortunate date, Paine, and there was Tifa and Rei. Blatantly, he didn't like the attention, and he wanted to keep this between himself and Cloud, maybe Tifa, perhaps Rei. But this was too much. "None of you are watching crap, except for Tifa and Rei, if she wants to. The rest, can go back to what you were doing, or else there won't be a fight." Axel pointed his look at Cloud, saying this, just to help him get these people out of the way. It was either they leave, or he does, and there won't be a battle.
OOC: Wait, where is Ansem? I transported back to the lab where Zexion, Larxene, and Roxas were... Larxene's victorious smirk faded as he spotted a old man, who looked elderly, but still quite young, from her vision. He seemed to have a strong, almost a leader presence, and it made her wonder, because if this was who she thought it was, he was going to get a piece of her mind. Reminiscent to Roxas, she eyed the cloak given to her carefully, but seein gher situation was worse than the younger boy, she took the cloth in stride, glancing at the perfectly folded black material. Both Axel and Demyx wore this, so she guessed it was their uniform. Larxene stood quiet at his greeting of her, merely just piercing her strong blue eyes as she examined him.
Vexen sighed, keeping to himself the fact that Axel wasn't that deluded. He knew very well not to underestimate that boy, though perhaps it might work, if played right. Axel heard a sudden, squeaky creek, and look to his side to find a door that caught his attention, more questioningly than anything. Considering it just opened automatically, it was reckless to go in when he didn't know what was on the other side. He could portal in, and find his way around until he saw that blonde female who doesn't really listen to him. He was deciding whether to enter this way or not, as he could take anything that can be thrown at him, before he heard light running footsteps. It diverted his concentration on the door as he glanced in the direction, widening his eyes in surprise as he saw who it was. "Larxene?"
"The thing is, I don't know where the hell to go in here..." Larxene responded, trailing it off as she went into thought. Well, there was that place where she woke up from her coma, that lab that gave her the worst new she could get, and a very unhappy one. It was the place that those pods were located in. Thinking that this was as best as she could do at the moment, she thought of the room, placing her mind on it, before she squeaked, yes, squeaked, in surprised as swirls of darkness enveloped her, and with one last look at the two males, she was transported as her vision went black. In triumph, it took her where she wanted to go exactly. Larxene looked around as she studied the room where Roxas and herself were resting for that long while, and she could still see the floor was a little wet from where they stood. She smirked in satisfaction. "What do you know? That was easier than I thought..."
"I'm so flattered, I know I'm good, but not the toughest," Axel drawled out in a calm tone, not at all fazed, half-lidding his eyes as he stared at the blond, almost bored. Gingerly, he raised his hand, and with the tip of his forefinger guided the blade of Cloud's sword away from his cheek, leisurely getting up as he did so. "If we fight, try not to aim in my face. I'm proud of the good-looks. And stop stealing my catchphrase, doesn't fit you, that's my favor." He peeked bit at Tifa to send her a small smile to tell her is fine, totally ignoring the fact that he just changed moods, before looking around at the pool, the same nonchalant expression coming to back to his face. "We can't fight here, unless you want to get wet or destroy the place, which would only get us both suspended. We also don't want any of the faculty to know, if they spot us, we're dead, as in, expelled. And yeah, rules can burn in hell. Do I look like the type to follow them?"
OOC: xDDD. That's all I have to give. But knowing Axel, he would refuse your help anyway. He still doesn't like you. Axel breathed a sigh after a half hour, boredly strolling along the path as he hummed a tune to keep away the creepy silence the whole forest gave. He stopped, however, when he spotted a part of a buiding that was there, and hurriedly made his way to it. It seemed farther than it was from where he saw on his position, but it didn't take long until he stepped into a clearing, a castle, much smaller than theirs definitely, graced his eyesight. The size reminded him of Castle Oblivion's, but it was decorated differently, more modern. Not bad. He felt a sense of victory as he studied the place, and all he had to do now was find out where Larxene was located. If he learned anything from Castle Oblvion, was that's it's outside appearance was deceiving, and he wouldn't be surprised if inside was bigger than expected. But he found the headquarters.
Axel simply gazed at her, before mumbling casually, looking for yet another song in his iPod, "You judge people well." It wasn't long after when a shadow suddenly loomed over him, and Axel lost his attention from Rei, to stare up at Cloud, listening to this little favor of his, yet it will be dumb to say that Axel wasn't interested. Chuckling a bit, he raised a brow to the blond companion, a dangerous smirk appearing on his flawless face. "Is against school policy. Why me, though?" The way he said this was careless and airy, that from his tone you could tell he didn't give two sh*ts about the rules. Tifa stepped up behind Cloud, giving Axel a look of apology, though she had to admit, this was quite exciting. She hasn't seen a battle for awhile.
OOC: She's still on her shredded and weak towel actually xD. They were just walking. Though unless it was sarcasm, that I didn't pick... Larxene just raised her eyebrows at the sudden interruption, as this Axel portalled in, but shrugged in response. Wait....he could portal too? So if that was the case, then she might be able to do it as well, Larxene just needed to know how. Glancing at Axel, she questioned, giving a dirty look at Zexion along the way, "Would you mind if you tell me how to portal? You know, to escape just if somebody wants to leave me alone and test me again..." She sent this little snipe at Zexion, glaring at him, before turning back to Axel.
"Oh, um, we can't use our power or weapons in this school, unless for emergencies," Tifa told him, a bit of a panic expression on her face. She locked the door to her room, because despite the fact that she was trying to reason with Cloud, Tifa honestly wanted to see this. Her inner fangirl was also speaking of what better way to spend the time than watch two hot guys sparring? She wasn't sure if Axel was even up to it, as he looked upset before, especially after Marluxia came and said something. Axel's mood turned from the worst after.
Putting on her sandals quickly, Tifa chased after him fast, going out into the hall as well with her damp hair, that was slowly drying. She didn't want Cloud to begin any fight or do something to Axel, which she doubted he would, Axel didn't do anything wrong. Tifa needed to know what he was about to do, so she'll leave him alone. She didn't want to bother him with her constant nagging. "Wait, where are you going?"
Tifa almost jumped in shock at the sudden action, holding herself from falling off the bed. Placing a hand on her chest, to feel her fast beating heart from the scare, she gazed at Cloud increduously. Tifa tried to steady her ragged breathing, and suceeded after a while, as she was able to take in Cloud's words. "I don't know, why would you want to kill Axel?" Other than that fact of their little act in the pool, but it was her idea to make him jealous and get him away from Yuffie, and all Axel really did was put his arm around her, awkwardly, even. And she already explained that it was nothing. Axel rolled his eyes at her, though he gave her a amusing smile. "Well you know, Baby, people actually spell it Axle, A-X-L-E, like my name comes from some car part, when it isn't really, though it sounds the same. Oh, and I'm listening to some Ramones song, though it's almost finishing..." He trailed off there, before being reminded of something. "You still need to tell me what you were smiling about earlier. Don't think I've forgotten."
Tifa sighed peacefully, going over to her bed where Cloud was sleeping. She sat on the edge quietly, the closest from his face, yet not wanting to wake him up. Smiling tenderly, she raised her hand, and trace the outlines of his face cautiously, going over his nose, his strong jaw, and his lips. He really was a handsome guy, though that was obvious. And he loved her. With her other hand, she took off the towel that was still wrapped in her hair, untangling it as she threw at the end of the bed. With her words, Axel was aware that he was stuck on the pool area, but in all honesty, he didn't have nothing else to do. The options he had was to go to his dorm, and either go to sleep, or be on his laptop. And there was no point really if you had company. Following her steps, he sat next to Rei, fingering his iPod as he lowered the volume a little. Glancing at her, he gave a wild grin as he introduced himself. "The name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?" OOC: Ugh, sue me . Had to do it! xD
"What kind of illusion?" Vexen inquired, nodding his head that he indeed, was very positive to that tactic. "Knowing Axel, he won't care about anything until Larxene is found. I'm guessing that's his first priority before anything else..." Axel, this time transported to the forest, the same darkness and silence overwhelming him as before. He didn't know what was with this jungle, it seemed very abandoned, and almost eerie, but he had to trudge forward. If he was lucky, one of the members will appear, and can lead him to the castle, and from there, take care of his own agenda. If Larxene was fighting, he placed his faith on the fact that she was battling one, or two. She could handle two, maybe three if she's pissed enough. Though he was a little bit annoyed at the fact that she didn't follow his words and came back, at least that way, he would know where she was and checked if something happened when Larxene would last too long. Axel made his way to the path that he had walked on before, taking the direction that Zexion didn't point to, as he was sure that the Schemer was trying to lead him astray. He just wanted to simply find this castle, Axel felt it wasn't that far as he thought.
