My Little...AXEL???

my little... AXEL???- part 4: the princess of the key blade

Axel found himself in a big square ball room. It resembles the one found in the beast’s castle. Princess Celestia was standing at the far side of the room staring tentatively at the Nobody.

“You can’t escape. I’ve used my magic to barricade every inch of this room. Now then, why are you here, and how did you arrive in this world?”

Axel, being the self-arrogant person he is said “why don’t you answer my questions first? How did you know I was a Nobody?”

“I could smell the darkness in your mane! I picked it up as soon as you arrived in this world. We sealed off all gummi roads leading to this world to prevent you from coming here. Now explain to me everything!”

Axel, sitting on the floor, decided to confess. What else was he to do? Fight? He had no magic or weapons.

“I am a member of organization 13. I was sent here because I didn’t fill out my responsibilities I was supposed to do.”

“And that would be what?”

“I was supposed to capture Roxas, but I didn’t.”

“You mean the key blade master?”

“Huh… how do you know that?”

“I can see glimpses of the future, and I see him now. He is in a mansion in a world known as twilight town!”

“So, what do you plan to do with me? Make me fade away?”

“No, I wish to test your skills. My magic if far more powerful that than the leader of your group, and I can make it appear that your magic and weapons are not being used, that way, you can fight me!”

“I don’t want to. All I want to do is… to see my friends.

“You mean the members of the organization?”

“… I mean MY FRIENDS!”

This surprised the princess. Even though Axel did not have a heart, he still knew who his friends were!

“I WANT TO SEE PINKIE, AND RAINBOW DASH! I want to see FLUTTERSHY, RARITY, APPLE JACK, AND TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!”

“An interesting display of acting out rage, Axel… If I didn’t know any better… oh, there’s an idea… do you wish to truly feel rage, the emotion that you exhibit here and now? Very well then, I shall grant you your wish!”

Axel felt heat buildup in his chest! His chakras came out of nowhere! He caught one in his mouth and the other one with his tail! Flames engulfed the room in one big circle as he felt rage, true rage! Memories surfaced in Axels mind of when he was mad at Isa, his old friend. The rage was so strong, and so real! The princess stood there enjoying every minute of it.

“Now we shall see if you have what it takes to become what the organization stole from you before you could even obtain it!”

“SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!”

His chakras went flying at the princess, when out from behind her, a key blade was summoned! It resembles her style in every way, shining in the fire! Axel struck the princess with everything he had! But it was no use. She just swatted his weapons away! Finally Axel landed on his feet, and failed to keep composure. He kneeled and found himself unable to feel the rage in his body anymore. The princess stood over him, magically wielding her key blade. She dismissed it and smiled.
“I am very proud of you… lea.” You have shown me that you may be able to wield the mightiest weapon of all.”

“I don’t need your sympathy. I don’t need your rage.”

"If you don’t accept it, you will die by your friend, Roxas’s blade.”

“I was so close to getting that weapon. When I had a heart, it was in my hands, I could feel it. Then, I don’t know what happened… I guess, I fell into darkness… you say ill fade away if I don’t accept your spell to give me rage?”

“When you return to your world, where ever it may be, you will be instructed to go to traverse town to get roxas. If you confront him without the spell I am offering to you, which you can only use once for a short period of time, you will fade away by his blade.”

“… fine, I see how It is. I’ll use it.”

Just then, the main six came barging into the room. The barrier was lowered as soon as the fight ended. They all gathered around their weakened friend, Axel. Twilight sparkle asked Princess Celestia why she did what she did.

“It was to teach him about his former self, and so that I could give him a gift. I am sorry for hurting him, but you must understand why it had to be done.”

Axel, now with enough energy to stand, got up to his feet and said “don’t blame her. She helped me remember something deep within myself. She is the best princess any pony could ask for.”

Axel thanked the princess for her help and was teleported to Ponyville with his friends.

They arrived at twilight’s house. The main six looked at Axel with a smile, but he could not bring himself to return the expression.

“I’m sorry” he started. “That is, I guess, I would be sorry if I had a heart. You six are some of the best friends I could ask for. Tomorrow morning, I have to say goodbye, but I’ll try to drop by from time to time to say hello.”

The main six crowded around Axel to give him one big group hug. Afterword’s, Twilight led him into her tree house, seeing as how she was the only one with an extra bed. In the morning, Axel said his goodbyes to his friends and proceeded to head to his own home world that never was.

Later in the story...

"Simply amazing, Roxas"

"Axel"

"You really do remember me this time..."

The spell that the princess gave to Axel was cast, and rage poured into his veins once more!

"I'm so FLATTERED!"

Flames lit up the room and Axel found himself shaking with rage!

"But you too LATE!"

Roxas summoned not just one, but TWO key blades!

"two" Axel said to himself. in his thoughts, he knew that without his rage, he wouldn't be able to face Roxas when he had two key blades.

And so, the battle of two good friends began, and at the end of the battle, Axel knew he and Roxas would find each other once more, just as he would find his pony friends in Equestria, because he knew what twilight meant when she said friendship is magic!
