Chapter 3: Dark Rendezvous PT-2: Confrontation.
“YOU’RE LATE!” Axel barked! “Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting!?!”
“My apologies.” Saix stated calmly, with his arms crossed and pressed against his lower chest. The Dark Corridor that he had exited from started to slowly dissolve as Saix slowly approached Axel, still seated on the log, tending the fire. “I was… held up in certain matters.”
Axel peers over his shoulder, analyzing his compatriot. “Whatever.” He murmured, and he then returned his gaze towards the fire.
“So, refresh my memory, Axel.” Saix said with a coy look in his eye. “What exactly is the matter at hand?”
“The other worlds are very beautiful so far away from town.” Axel said with wonderment.
“Yes I’m sure they are. Now if we can get back on track, what exactly are you doing here? Does it have anything to do with that rather large hole?” Saix asked, still sounding rather coy.
“Think it might rain tomorrow? It’d be a damn shame if it did?”
Saix, no longer calm, started to get irritable with Axel.
“Right. Stars. Rain. Bad thing. Now just tell me—“
“Although, if you think about it, a little rain might do this forest a world of good. When I was looking for stuff to start the camp fire with, I saw a lot of dried grass. That can’t be—“
Saix, far past annoyed with Axel dodging the questions, spun him around to look him in the eyes while holding on jerking him by the collar.
“
Dude, personal space!”
“I don’t give a rat’s ass about your personal space! Tell me what the Hell you’re doing here right now!” Saix roared his face scrunched in anger. After a few seconds of thought, Axel hoisted up one of the two remaining bags he had retrieved from the burlap sack.
“You ordered the
Holly Halitosis special with extra onions and onion rings, right?”
“THIS IS WHY I CAME ALL THE WAY TO TWILIGHT TOWN FOR?!? A STUPID SANDWICH?!?” Saix roared, enraged beyond belief. So enraged, that he almost didn’t notice the fire erupting in Axel’s unoccupied hand and solidifying into a large bladed chakram! At the last second, He managed to jump back, releasing Axel as he brought his chakram around in a horizontal swipe against the bewildered Saix, scraping him through his skin. He jumps back just out of Axel’s lunging distance, pressing a forearm against the cut across his stomach.
“Axel, what is the meaning of this!? What has brought about this betrayal!?” Saix demanded, but Axel, now on his feet, starts to laugh.
“Don’t patronize me Zexion, you limp wristed sissy!” Axel cackled, as he twirls around his chakram. He flings the bag out into the forest, as he chuckles maliciously. “I know it’s you. Drop the illusion!”
After hearing this, Saix lowered his head, and a pale blue light enveloped his body and he began to change. His form became smaller, his physique became less defined, and his long, dark blue hair and rugged, aged features dissolve away, revealing a youth to be about 21 with short gray hair, excluding the bangs that cascade over his right eye. This was none other than No. 6 of the Organization, Zexion, the Cloaked Schemer, posing as Saix! He looked back up towards Axel, anger burning on his face.
“How did you know?” Zexion demanded, far away from the cool and calm persona that had helped him wrap hundreds of beings around his finger. “My illusion was seamless! Sight, sound, even his scent was duplicated perfectly to scream Saix!”
“Tch, tch, tch!” Axel said, waving his finger back and forth. “You have a long way to go if you honestly believe you’ll be able to fool anyone with a trick like that! You really have got to improve your acting skills.”
“MY ACTING SKILLS?!? What does acting have to do with anything?”
“Everything! While your illusion was seamless, as you have said, your body language, your speech, and even your persona gave you away! Saix isn’t that well spoken, and he doesn’t cross his forearms and press them against his body like you did. And he defiantly doesn’t like to beat around the bush by asking me time consuming questions, and unless you’re the big boss, he never
ever apologizes to anyone! Before you try to impersonate other people, need to learn everything about who they are. I suggest that you take that little tip and commit it to memory. Now, it’s time for you to answer my question. Where’s Saix?”
Zexion, taking this chance to compose himself. “He’s not coming.” He stated calmly. “I intercepted the Dusk before he could get the message. But it doesn’t matter. Axel, I demand that you tell me what’s going on here! As one of the original six, my word—“
“Means jack squat!” Axel interrupted.
“What did you say?” Demanded Zexion in a low, hushed tone, his visible eye glaring at Axel.
“You heard me. Don’t think that I don’t know about how Saix bumped you out of the position of being the Boss’s right hand. I honestly can’t blame the boss for replacing you though, if the haphazard tactics from earlier tonight are anything to go by.”
“HA-HAPHAZARD!?! REPLACED!?!” Zexion stuttered, looking as if he’d been shot.
“Why, of course! Why else would he have you babysit the lower levels of Castle Oblivion? Your methods are slow, delicate, and have a high failure rate. It’s probably your fault why the project is so far behind schedule.”
“YOU’RE LYING!”
“Sorry Zexy, but face facts. You’re like me now. Disposable.”
“DAMN YOU!” Zexion yelled. He then holds out his hand and a book appeared in the same pale blue light that Zexion emitted when he dropped his illusion.
“I TOLD THE SUPERIOR THAT RECRUITING YOU WAS A BAD MOVE, AND NOW I PLAN ON RECTIFYING IT!”
“Huh, so that’s your
Mad illusionist. Never seen it before.” Axel then stretched out his empty hand and fire once again erupted from nowhere and solidified into a second Chakram. He then crouches down; his feet spread apart diagonally, and crossed his arms, ready to attack.
“Let’s see how you and your
Mad illusionist stand up to my
Flyin’ Hellfire!"
Chapter 3: Dark Rendezvous Pt-2: Confrontation. End.

ZEXION WAS POSING AS SAIX?!? OMGWTF!?!?
_O:
Okay Now that that's out of the way, let's get serious. I know I said that I'd post the rest of Chapter 3 today, but there's just so much that I want to do, I started to think it'd be easier to post it in seperate parts. There will be at least two more parts, if everything works out alright. Don't worry all, Roxas is still the star of the show, we're just taking a small detour a little longer before we get back to him in chapter four, where we are going to join him and Olette on a little shopping trip.
On a seperate note: YAY! A fight scene is next! I'm excited. Although I'm going to tell you right now, I've never played FM+, so I don't want to hear "that's not how Zexion fights" or anything like that. I've never seen him fight, so he's gonna fight the way I want him to, alright?
Also, Some of you may have guessed that "Mad Illusionist" and "Flyin' Hellfire" are the names that I've given their weopons. I really didn't know if they had names already, but GOSH DARN IT! I wanted them to have names!
Okay, so that's whats up. Until next time, keep doing your best!:thumbup:
