Posting this one first 'cause it's the one I have the most chapters of. Even if it's only 3.
I hope I got the SoRiKai trio IC...this was pretty much my first time writing them.
So Much Axel+Saïx snark <3
When Axel and Saïx exited the corridor into Destiny Islands, the sun was just beginning to dip below the shoreline.
"Well, we're here. Now what, o brilliant leader?"
Axel shrugged. "Dunno. Just…wander around until we run into Sora, I guess?"
Saïx rolled his eyes. "Oh, yes. That's a fantastic idea. Let's do that, and risk running into Riku, who won't stop to ask questions before he kills us."
"Oh, yeah, and you have a better idea?"
Saïx turned towards the ocean, embarrassed. "No, not exactly. But-"
"Ha!" Axel crowed. "I have the only idea, for once! So mine it is!"
Saïx looked over towards the docks, and blinked.
"Actually…look."
Axel glanced over. "Kairi!"
The girl was sitting on the docks, dangling her feet over the edge. She didn't look very different from the last time they'd seen her, except for her clothes. She glanced back towards the mainland, then sighed and turned back to the water, whistling absentmindedly.
Saïx and Axel exchanged a look. "I guess she's waiting for the other two."
"I'm gonna go talk to her."
"But you kidnapped her."
"Yeah, so did you, bro."
Kairi looked up as they approached, a cheerful greeting on her lips. It died when she recognized the two men.
She gasped, jumping to her feet and summoning her Keyblade.
"You're from the Organization! But Sora beat them all- how are you here?"
Axel held his hands out. "Easy there, princess. We're not here to fight. We just want to talk, that's all."
Kairi wasn't convinced. "Uh-huh."
"Listen, really. I'm telling the truth- that doesn't happen often, I know, but this time I am. We gotta talk to Sora. It's important."
She raised an eyebrow. "About what?"
Axel sighed. "We need his help. Well, not us- there are other people who need his help, and, well, we're helping too."
Kairi looked confused. "How do you know about that? King Mickey told us there were some people out there Sora needed to help, but I thought…"
"Three Keybearers? Yeah, we know."
"How?"
"Turns out Xemnas was one of 'em. Well, sort of."
She frowned, and dispelled her Keyblade. "Sort of? Look, I might believe you. Might. But either way, you're Nobodies."
"Really? We had no idea."
Kairi smiled softly. "You're gonna have to wait for Sora and Riku. They'll be here soon, so…"
"Kairi! Watch out!"
Two flashes of light from the side, and the two boys leapt in front of their friend, Keyblades at the ready.
Riku glared at the Nobodies, angry and confused.
"I have no idea how you're back, but if you even think about touching Kairi, you're dead."
Axel groaned. "Look, tough guy. I already told Kairi- we just. Want. To. Talk. Got it memorized?"
Sora blinked. "Axel?" He grinned. "Hey, it's you!"
He turned towards Riku. "Riku, it's okay. We can trust Axel. He helped me find Kairi."
Riku sighed. "Yeah, I know. He's Roxas's friend, too. I saw him pestering the guy in the Virtual Twilight Town."
Axel frowned. "I was not pestering him."
Riku ignored it. "But the other guy…Sora, he's the guy we need to worry about. He's Xemnas's second, remember?"
Sora's eyes widened. "What? You mean Saïx?"
Axel held up a hand. "Wait, wait, let me explain before you do anything stupid."
Saïx cut him off. "I can speak for myself, Axel. You're not the one they're worried about, anyway."
Axel nodded.
"Alright. I suppose I have to tell you the rest, too. Listen up, you three, this will take a while."
Sora, Riku and Kairi exchanged looks when Saïx finished.
"So…Terra was possessed by Xehanort, and now he's not, and the other two are missing?"
Axel nodded. "Yeah, pretty much. It was my idea to get you guys, 'cause I had a hunch you were connected to all of this crazy shit."
Sora laughed. "Well, sounds good to me! King Mickey already told us about the three Keybearers, and I was going to help anyways, but we had no idea where to start. You guys know way more than we do, though, so you can come along, Axel. Oh, Saïx, too."
"Thank you, Sora. I apologize for my previous behavior. I realize it was unac-"
Sora waved him off. "Nah, it's okay, don't worry about it. It was some parasite thing, right? It's not your fault."
"Thanks."
Kairi spoke up. "Hey guys. The gummi ship's ready to fly." She held up a control box. "Are we ready to go?"
Riku nodded. "Yeah, I put our supplies onboard yesterday."
The four boys walked to where she stood, and she tapped a button on the box. A blue glow lit up around them, and they were transported to the ship.
Axel looked around in awe. "Wow. I've never been on a gummi ship before…this is pretty damn impressive."
Sora laughed as he sat down at the controls. "Yeah, I know. I got this one from Donald and Goofy a while ago, and Cid fixed it up for me."
Axel looked shocked. "This is yours? No way!"
Saïx chuckled. "Calm down, Axel. Of course Sora has one of his own. It's not like he can walk to Radiant Garden."
"Oh, shaddup."
Everyone laughed, and Sora hit the throttle. In no time they were speeding through the Lanes Between.
"So, Axel. Is there anywhere specific we need to go?"
"Not really. I guess just any world where there's Darkness again."
"Okay. Um, lemme check."
He hit a few buttons on the control panel, and a world popped up on the viewscreen. Sora frowned.
"Wow…that is pretty bad. I guess we're heading to Halloweentown."
