Predators - Extinction

Disclaimer - I own none of the characters, unless otherwise mentioned, and they therefore belong to Square Enix and Disney. Sweet, simple, to the point.

Actually, this was an idea I came up with last night, and typed this all today. I actually know what I'm doing with this though, so updates should be close together for a while at least. This one will be pretty long, and have some pretty cool vocabulary in it, so a dictionary might be something you want to have handy. (and, would you look at that, they actually have a dictionary on the site! D) Anyways, the setting is before Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, so some of the characters will seem almost out of character, but hopefully not too much. I needed to change a few things for the sake of the plot.

Also, the new chapter of "Broken Words" will be up soon!

"Ugh! You have to be kidding me! I hate that place!" The redhead howled as he slammed the letter down on his dresser. "Why me? Why is it always me?" Axel hated the Pride lands like none other. Yet, he received he most missions there out of the whole organization. "I swear, sometimes, i think they want me to go insane."

He fell back onto his bed and glared at the ceiling. If anything could change the situation that Axel was in, it would be his ceiling. Right.

Worst of all, was that he had to go with that stuck up jerk of a kid, Roxas. He was almost as bad as Larxene, and in some cases worse. It was like the kid had no morals for behavior or respect. And if it was the Pride lands that they would be stuck together in, it was only going to be worse.

As it was explained to him when he first joined the organization, the illusion of having emotions was caused by memories left behind when someone lost their heart. A nobodies sub-conscience would compare the emotions from a similar situation of the somebody's to the current situation, and apply the memory of the emotions.

If that was the case, then Roxas would be getting on Axel's last nerves if he had any. He rolled over to bury his face in the blankets on the end of his bed. Three whole days. Alone. With Roxas. It was like his worst nightmare come true.

A knock came on his door. Axel didn't bother to get up. He gave a muffled "It's open."

"Hey Axel. What was all that screaming about?" a rather curious Demyx inquired, half stepping into the room. "I could hear it across the hall." Demyx had the room that was on the opposite side of the hallway.

He was an all-around weird guy to Axel. He was quiet, except for when he was playing his sitar. He didn't speak unless spoken to most of the time, though you couldn't surmise once he was actually talking; and kept to himself. However, if you offended him, there were three reactions that could be expected. Demyx could brush it off, ignore you for the rest of the day, and deny one's nonexistence; Argue until he stormed off, and if he came across the offender, simply glare and leave the room. However, if one was so unfortunate as to seriously insult him, the water mage would walk away until he reached corner, turn down it, and once he had, the offender would be barraged with water.

Axel gave another muffled muttering that couldn't be deciphered, and lifted his arm to point at the aggrieving piece of paper. Demyx shrugged and sauntered over to the seemingly guiltless paper, and lifted it to read the slightly crumpled script. He spent a moment examining the mission's overview, and realized why Axel was so unhappy. A mission with Roxas? That was something to be unhappy about. He was an ostentatious and scornful teenager, who was as lordly as Xemnas himself. Roxas thought of mission partners as nothing more than a hindrance, and was always critical of his unfortunate partners.

And in the Pride lands no less! If Roxas complained on a regular basis, he complained ten times as much in the Pride lands. Demyx and Zexion had once been sent to the Pride lands on a scouting mission with the teen, and all that was heard out of the cub were complaints. Even Zexion, a rather serious guy, suggested leaving the annoyance to the hyenas in the elephant graveyard. An added bonus, as if one were needed, the young blond had next to no balance on four legs.

"Ouch... three days with Roxas. That's like a death sentence." Demyx shook his head as he replaced the paper. "Sorry, man. Good luck.

"I know! As if the little brat doesn't already try to kill me, now he's going to drive me to extinction!" Axel propped himself on his elbow, gesturing widely with his free hand. "Being un-dead just gets more and more fun, doesn't it?"

Anyways, I hope you like it! Please review and let me know what you think of it so far! ) Constructive advice is appreciated and used to make better stories!!
