Re: Fate of A Hero
Day 61
Examinations
Part 3
"Good morning, girls. Today is a very nice day to start-" Xemnas paused, grinning at the other organization members,"Examinations."
Roxas gulped. Axel fidgeted in his seat.
"It's simple. Survive my three tests, you get to stay. You fail- you go."
Akira and Xane flinched as he brusquely stated 'go'.
"Your first test is double mission on the virtual grounds we have set for you. Usually, it'd be work together for survival, but here: Everything goes. So if it's every m- I mean, girl- for herself, then so be it.
"You have ten minutes to choose your weapon of choice. After that, if you are not on the field, you will be forced there. Once again: Everything goes. No help from any outside source, for example a member or an outside ally. Dresspheres and limit breaks are allowed. One limit break only. Any questions?"
Xane shook her head. Akira stayed still, mouth open, trying to get all that. Xane elbowed her, and Akira coughed, shaking her head as well. Xemnas smiled.
"Alright. Off you go."
All the members dissapeared one by one. Axel shook his head in dissaproval seconds before he poofed off. Roxas gave her a pleading look. Akira forced a reassuring smile at him. Hesitantly, he left the room.
Xane and Akira stayed still. Xane looked at Akira, smiling, but her smile faded.
"Hey...you okay?"
Akira shut her eyes, balling her fists. She nodded slowly.
"Your not sure about this." Xane added, sounding more like a statement than a question. Akira gave a small forced smile.
"Sometimes I really wish you couldn't read my mind." Akira said quietly, putting on her hood. Xane shrugged.
"I could block you out, but hey, where's the fun in that?" She said sarcastically. She put her hand on Akira's shoulder.
"We'll do fine. Um, trust me, I guess." Akira sensed Xane had never really tried to comfort anyone, EVER. Akira turned to the door.
"C'mon. You need to show me where the field is." Akira said, then turned away from her. Xane grinned wickidly.

"She can't do this, she's too weak." Roxas mumbled, pacing back and forth. Axel sighed.
"Aw c'mon, Roxas...Give her a break! She's been getting better! Only the memory, is all...but she's a great fighter. And hey, didn't you pass?"
Roxas sighed, nodding.
"Well? You kinda trained her. She's got this." Axel smiled. "And I kinda trained her too. So she's got my mad skills!"
Roxas chuckled lightly, but then stopped.
"Oh....I think I know where you're getting at. Did they...?" Axel waited. Roxas didn't answer. "No. Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no."
Roxas nodded.
"I'm Akira's assigned challenger."
