A/N: This chapter is a bit grim based on my other chapters, just a little heads up.

An hour later in the room across from Naruto's and Hinata's, Raxoll stood staring at the stone wall with a blank look on his face. He walked over to his bed and crawled under the covers. He closed his eyes as a single tear fell down his face as he remembered the screaming of countless people.

"My ears are ringing." said Kefka as Raxoll was reminded of the time when he was under the influence of the slave crown when he was seven.

"Sir you told me to blow up the hospital," said Raxoll. "Tonight's going to be a bad night," Raxoll said to himself. He then tried to forget the memory and fell asleep. Raxoll then began to have a dream of one of his training exercises while under Kefka's control.

Raxoll was surrounded by smoke and fire. He blinked twice to try and regain his vision after the ceiling collapsed in front of him. Just then he heard a sound from his right. He turned his head to find a little boy standing there covered in ash from the fire.

"Nico run!" said a man who ran in front of the boy and pushed him to his side. The boy started to run but the door that he was reaching for caught on fire.

"Daddy!" yelled the boy as he ran back to his father.

"Why are you doing this?' yelled the man as he hugged his son and stared at Raxoll.

Raxoll did not answer but instead lifted up his hand and sent a wave of fire towards the two. The man and his son screamed in agony until a few seconds later the screams stopped.

"I told you to blow it up not burn it down!" yelled Kefka over a receiver in Raxoll's ear.

"Sir, yes sir," said Raxoll as he turned back the way he came. He stepped over many charred bodies of men, women, and children of all ages. He came to the door that he used to enter the building. The doors were completely charred now. Raxoll walked out to find Kefka standing outside with an angry look on his face.

"Blow it up you dog!" yelled Kefka.

Raxoll only nodded as he turned and lifted his hands again. "Vir'ednith," said Raxoll as a white light began to glow inside the building. The light grew to a high intensity until it reached a peek and a deafening explosion ripped the building apart.

"My ears are ringing," said Kefka.

"Sir you told me to blow up the hospital," said Raxoll as he turned to face Kefka.

"I suppose you did a good job," said Kefka. "Now were there any survivors?"

"A child and his father almost escaped, but I killed them," said Raxoll his face completely devoid of any emotion.

"Ooh that's bonus points Raxy-boy," said Kefka as he clapped his hands together.

"I live only to server you," said Raxoll as he walked next to Kefka and knelt down.

"Good, now I want to get back to the castle," said Kefka, "It's just too hot here." Kefka turned and began to walk towards a guardian that had been left in the middle of the road next to a burning house. Raxoll took a look around the destroyed village. No one was left alive. There were so many charred bodies everywhere. The smell of ash and burning flesh filled the air.

"I never gave you an order to look around filth, now come or I'll punish you!" yelled Kefka as he activated his guardian. Raxoll looked at Kefka but for a reason unknown to him he couldn't move. Tears were streaming down his face.

"MOVE WORM!" yelled Kefka as he powered up the guardians main cannon. A yellow beam began to form in the cannons end. An electric beam was fired directly at Raxoll. The beam hit him square in the chest. Raxoll screamed out in pain and fell onto the ground convulsing.

"You, soldier, drag that dog back into it's magitek armor," ordered Kefka to a nearby soldier that was in a guardian. The soldier jumped down and walked over to Raxoll's twitching body and dragged him over to his magitek armor. The soldier hefted Raxoll into the driver seat. The soldier strapped Raxoll in and set the armor on autopilot to follow his guardian. The two guardians and the magitek armor stomped out of the village as Kefka laughed his evil cackle.

"Kefka, report," said a voice out of the intercom of the suits.

"Ghestal the village was destroyed but the slave almost broke free I'll have to modify his slave crown again," said Kefka.

"See to it that he at least lives through it so I won't have to put out the new one yet," said Ghestal.

"Yes sir, Kefka out," said Kefka as he cut transmission. "Why did you have to be more Esper than human. It would have been much easier on me if you were more human."

Raxoll just sat there in his armor with tears still streaming down his face.

"Sir he's crying," said the soldier.

"So, he's broken, broken things do that," said Kefka.

"Should he really be doing that?" asked the soldier.

"In a few years I'll just kill him and upgrade," said Kefka.

"Not while he's still in my brother's unit," said the soldier.

"And what's General Leo going to do about it Colonel Edge?" asked Kefka.

"He'll make sure you don't kill him," said Edge as he removed the standard imperial helmet to reveal a buzz cut haircut.

"You need to wake up Edge hiding behind your brother won't save you forever!" yelled Kefka. Kefka just kept repeating the work "Wake up" for awhile. After a few seconds the voice changed.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up," said Relm, "WAKE UP!"

With that Raxoll woke up. He looked around the room and noticed Relm, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Edgar were standing in his room. They were all in various forms of sleepwear. Relm was kneeling beside his bed. Raxoll wipe his face with his hand and noticed that he had tears streaming down his face. He looked around again and saw that his nightstand had been on fire and his dresser was shattered in a million pieces on the floor.

"What happened?" asked Raxoll. "And how did you get here Relm?"

"I got here a few minutes before the dive order was issued," said Relm.

"And the room?" asked Raxoll as he rubbed his head.

"You were screaming, "Run away now!" said Relm. Then you screamed, "Noooo!" then you just kept screaming, "Stop, stop, stop, sto…"

"Enough I get it," said Raxoll as he got up into a sitting position and looked around the room. "I'll get that fixed Edgar."

"Don't worry about it we just want to know if you're okay," said Edgar.

"Just a bad dream," said Raxoll.

"Bad dreams don't have you destroying your room," said Sakura.

"Actually sometimes they do," said Naruto as he shakily raised his hand and quickly used it to scratch the bad of his head when Sakura glared at him.

"It's probably just a side effect of the slave crown," said Raxoll. "I never did actually get a good night sleep after I had it on me."

"Want me to sleep with you?" asked Relm.

Raxoll got an embarrassed look on his face and turned his head away from Relm.

"Not like that you pervert," said Relm as she punched him in the arm.

"I wasn't thinking of that either so I should be calling you the pervert, pervert," said Raxoll as he punched her in the arm.

"I think he'll be fine for tonight now so we should go back to sleep," said Edgar as he tried to hold back a laugh. The guests left Raxoll's room save for Relm.

"Well?" asked Relm.

"We haven't done that for a long time," said Raxoll.

"Well it helped back then why wouldn't it help now?" asked Relm. Raxoll was silent for a little bit. "Well?"

"I would like that very much," said Raxoll as he scooted over to let Relm into his bed.

Relm cuddled up next to Raxoll and closed her eyes. Raxoll just laid there and stared at the ceiling. Soon he heard heavy breathing from his right. He looked over to see that Relm had fallen asleep. Raxoll smiled and followed suit.

A/N: Sorry for the extreme delay in chapters ... I just haven't really felt like writing lately I really want to continue this but everytime I open up the document for this story nothing comes out of my head and I just end up listening to my music for a little then I close the document only to have written maybe one or two sentences. But don't worry I do still have one chapter left in my inventory before I catch up to where I'm at in my story saved onto my hard drive so if anything expect that in the near future then maybe an extremely long time before the next post for this ... I might get side tracked with another story but I don't really know what'll happen.
