Disclaimer: I don't own anything KH related, and I don't own the song "Rush".
A/N: This is a songfic about Axel and Roxas's FRIENDSHIP! Keyword there is friendship. It's not more than that, no matter what you think. It's just not. Okay? Okay. And I'm sorry if this songfic isn't very funny. I've been writing at a very bad time in my life, for example, my mom got me the KH and KHII soundtracks and guess what? I broke one of them. I hate myself. And if I don't get my emotions typed down, I'll explode. Which I think I’ll do eventually.
"So...Your mind's made up?"
"Why did Keyblade choose me? I have to know."
"You can't turn on the Organization! If you get on their bad side, they'll destroy you!"
"No one would miss me."
Axel was shocked at the very sentence that that had just come out of Roxas's mouth. It made him feel sorrow. Sorrow? Feel? These were the things that Nobodies weren't supposed to do. It was supposed to be impossible to feel any emotions at all.
Into your head, into your mind. Out of your soul, race through your veins, you can't escape, you can't escape.
But obviously, these things could be felt. Maybe Xemnas couldn't feel these things. But everyone else could. Maybe that's why he said it's forbidden. Demyx was always really hyper, and when Larxene insulted him about that, he cried. (A/N: Ha, Demyx is a weenie! No offense to Demy fan girls. -runs to anti-Demyx Axel fan girl fortress-) Even the sadist Larxene had to have felt some kind of joy in seeing others misery.
Into your life, into your dreams. Out of the Dark, Sunlight again. You can't explain, you can't explain.
"That's not true! I would..." Axel's adrenaline was picking up. His best friend was leaving the Organization. He knew that if the Dusks didn't get him, Saix and Xemnas would. There was nothing that Axel could do. It was over for Roxas. He was practically digging his own grave.
"Maybe it's not too late to save half of him..."
Can you feel it, can you feel it? Rushing through your head, rushing through your head. Can you feel it, can you feel it?
"Maybe...Maybe waiting isn't good enough." Kairi wondered to herself.
"My thoughts, exactly! If you have a dream, don't wait, act. One of life's little rules. Got it memorized?"
"W-who are you?"
"Axel. I happen to be a close friend of Sora's. Why don't we go see him?"
"...Sora?"
"You and I've something in common, Kairi. We both miss someone we care about." The only girl that I care about...I couldn't even save her. Now it's time to protect someone else from the same fate. Axel thought to himself. "Hey, I feel like we're friends already."
"Yeah? Well, you're not acting very friendly!" Kairi replied to Axel as she followed Pluto into a warp hole of darkness.
"Then again, maybe it is too late...No, it's not over. Not yet."
Don't let nobody tell you that your life is over. Be every color that you are, into the rush now, you don't have to know how. Know it all before you try.
Axel was walking to another warp hole and right before he disappeared, he saw Saix.
"Axel? AXEL! I'm gonna kill-" Saix's voice trailed off.
Axel reappeared in his room in the World That Never Was. He couldn't say long though, because he'd probably get killed if he was seen. He slammed his head on his pillow, only to painfully find Roxas's camera.
"OW! What the...? Huh? Roxas’s camera?”
Axel wasn’t one to pry in other’s things... But he couldn’t resist. The camera flashed on with a small beep. There was only 10 pictures on the camera. The first 4 pictures were ones of Namine drawing in her room, one of her laughing, and one of her and Roxas together.
“Ha. I knew it. Roxas seems to have a little crush on Namine!”
Pulling you in, spinning you ‘round. Lifting your feet, right off the ground. You can’t believe it’s happening now.
As Axel browsed though the remaining pictures, the last one caught his eye. The first one was of him and Larxene, when she had tripped over Roxas’s skateboard that had been placed there accidentally by Namine and Roxas, and she had landed in Axel’s arms. They were so in love.
“Larxene... I know that I hurt you. And I should have been there to save you... I’m sorry.”
Trying to overcome a sweep of guilt, Axel decided to leave and visit Twilight Town.
In Twilight Town...
Axel went to the Old Mansion to reclaim his past memories. He was in Namine’s room, admiring her amazing drawings. Something called out to him. It was so... familiar..
“Axel. Axel? Can you hear me?”
“Wha..? “
“Roxas is about to get killed! You have to save him!”
“Roxas?”
“ You want to save him, right?”
“Yeah, but who are you?”
“A friend. A conscience.”
“You’re my conscience?”
“I might be. Or maybe I’m something more important. That is for you to ponder. Go save Roxas!”
Axel ran out of Namine’s room, down the stairs and into the basement.
“Roxas, answer me, right now! ROXAS?”
No response. No one was there. Maybe that voice had fooled him. Just... maybe.
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Rushing through your head, rushing through your head. Can you feel it ? Can you feel it?
He stepped forward into the portal of darkness, entering Betwixt and Between. There he saw Sora, no, Roxas, his best friend, literally being swamped with Nobodies.
“Don’t stop moving, or the Darkness will overtake you!“ Axel said slicing through 3 Dusks at once.
“Get going!”
“Why?” Sora questioned
“Roxas.. you always asked way too many questions...”
“Don’t ask, just do it! Whoa!” Axel was glomped by an infestation of Dusks.
“I kidnapped Kairi, but she got away from me. After that, Saix caught her. He’s a member of Organization XIII. Saix. Got it memorized? Now go save her!”
An assassin Nobody lunged at Sora and Axel. Sora turned around, smacking the nobody with the Keyblade.
“Leave us alone!”
Axel and Sora were fighting for their lives. It was totally futile. They were outnumbered by at least 2 to 15.
“I think I liked it better when they were on my side!” Axel panted.
“Feeling a little... regret?” Sora asked.
“Nah, I can handle these punks. Ha, watch this!” (A/N: Okay, everyone know what happens next, and it’s waaaay too sad for me to write, so after that happened...And I don‘t want any flames saying stuff like, “OMG, why did you leave that part out“ or “It would have been better if you didn‘t leave that out!” So, just don‘t do it!)
“Axel!” Roxas screamed for his friend. He ran over to him. He was disappearing bit by bit. “ You’re... fading away?”
“Well, that’s what happens when you put your whole being into an attack. Not that Nobodies actually have beings, right? Anyway, I digress. Go, find Kairi. Oh yeah, almost forgot... Sorry for what I did to her.”
“When we find her, you can tell her that yourself!” Sora said, trying to act as if this wasn’t happening.
“Think I’ll pass. My heart just wouldn’t be in it, you know? Haven't got one.” Axel muttered as he laughed, trying to lighten the moment.
Don’t let nobody tell you that your life is over. Be every color that you are, into the rush now, you don’t have to know how. Know it all before you try. It takes you to another place, imagine every thing you can. All the colors start to blend. Your system overloads again.
“Axel, what was it that you were trying to do?”
“I wanted to see Roxas. He... was the only one I liked. He made me feel... like I had a heart. You make me feel... the same... Kairi’s in the castle dungeon. Now, go save her!”
Axel used the last of the darkness inside him to open a portal.
“Axel...” Sora whispered.
On the outside, Sora had no feelings for Axel at all, but on the inside, Roxas was devastated.
Can you feel it? Don’t let nobody tell you that your life is over, be every color that you are. Into the rush now you don’t have to know how. Know it all before you try.
Awesome, right? Not awesome? Tell me by clicking the extremely shiny review button! No seriously, it’s really shiny! I made it longer like you wanted! See, I'm not mean...I just choose when to be nice.
