The Chasers: Darkness' Fold

[Rikugurl]

It didn't take very long for everyone to get back on the ship... except for Terra, the young boys, the pets and Axel. Mind you, they were in that order too.

The smell of food filled the Pilot Lounge as everyone entered. Roxel put down the little pup, seeing Tensai imitate him. "Bye bye!" He waved and giggled as the carbuncle and moomba left to the kitchen.

Everyone out of headed to the Dinning Room if it wasn't for one thing.
They all wanted to see the hologram that they had all helped contribute to.
It had taken longer that Ven liked... but the original idea was to put the hologram from above.
Aerith had pointed out that Rant and Rave travel on clouds of Darkness... and from her experience with flowers, clouds int interrupt light... which would turn the hologram off. Terra also noted that Silgurd would be safer on the ground... though escape would be harder.

So Ven had to make another field to hide the sitting airship... which wasn't exactly the smallest thing.

Everyone circled around one of the large windows as Ven sat at the controls. They made sure everyone had a good view outside.
"Ready?" The blonde asked as he suddenly flicked a switch.
There was some noise as an opening opened at the top of the ship. He pressed a button and a machine powered up, light flaring from it as it sent a image at the ground.

Instantly, a large theme part could be seen outside.
Roxel's and Gunnar's eyes widened as they saw all the rides. Namine jumped happily as she looked up to see the tall roller coasters.
Fuu's eye widened as she saw the display. It actually.... looked real.
"Sweet..." Axel whispered behind his husband, wishing it WAS real.

Ven flicked pressed another button and the image started to move. The sound of a crowd could be heard along with rides moving and people walking around.
Another switched was flicked on and more compartments opened outside. Another button pushed and a force field wrapped around them, giving the ship and reflected look. It reflected the area BEHIND them so it looked like nothing was actually there.

Today was the date of the grand opening of Ancient Fun theme park.

Ven stood and looked out as well, grinning and crossing his arms.
"Now, all we have to do is wait."

[Reno]

Lucina grinned excitedly, looking around at all the rides. She could almost imagine the sounds of working gears and screaming people and the smell of hotdogs and churros.

Aqua looked towards the water rides, seeing how clear it look. she could almost imagine the sound of rushing waterfalls. On such a hot world rides like that would be a relief.

Roxas shook his head in amazement, hearing Axel beside him. he grinned, knowing the red-head wanted to just run out there and try to play on the rides. Didn't he realize they were a bit OLD for this type of stuff?

Seifer smirked as he looked at the amusement park, glancing and seeing the excitement on both his children's faces. Maybe... they should consider going to a real one one of these days. Then again gunnar and Lucina would need to grow some more so they could enjoy all the rides...

Terra tilted his head, amused. It was hilarious to think of something that had such joy and fun in it was on his world, especally since their idea of fun was well... beating the crap outta each other. He shuddered at the sight of the rollercoasters and was entirely glad that the park was fake. Their was no way he'd EVER go on anything like that. Too fucking tall.

Tensai jumped a little when the huge sight came before him all at once and stared at it. He could see the people raising their hands on one of tha coasters and suddenly fall down, mouths opening yet no sound coming from them. It was highly unsettling to him. He knew it was fake... and maybe thats why it scared him. He hurried over to Ven and clutched onto his pant leg, hiding his face in the cloth.

"Well..." Roxas cut into everyone;s thoughts. "dinner anyone?"

[Rikugurl]

Aerith smiled as she saw the faces on all of them. It reminded her of Golden Chaucer a bit... though it was missing the Chocobos.

Ven blinked as Tensai ran to him and clung on. Was he... afraid? He smiled as he picked his son up and smiled. "It's ok Ten... everything will be fine..."


Everyone got cleaned up, already knowing that if they didn't, they'd get hell from Olette. Before they ate, they went down into their rooms and changed into their Chaser uniforms. When they finished, they got into their respective seats and thanked Roxas for the meal... and an unnerving feeling of maybe it being their last.
It was tempura and rice. Each person got the tempura of their choice, if it be chicken, pork or shrimp.

They all ate silently for the most part except for Roxel and Tensai who giggled and talked. Everyone else were keeping their ears opened.

Almost when everyone was done, both Ventus and Fujin's eyes widened. Wind.
There wasn't much wind in Atteris... but there was a lot not. The room also seemed to get darker and--
"I'm cold." Roxel suddenly pouted as he rubbed his arms.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
They were here...


Up above, dark clouds started to roll in. There were small clashes of lightning and a wind that chilled the land.
Aerith slowly looked out the window and blinked... suddenly seeing...
"IT'S SNOWING!" The red-blonde squealed happily as he jumped from his seat and ran to the window. Xio yipped as he ran over and looked out the window as well, seeing the snow fall from black clouds.

Ven stood and looked at Namine, Gunnar and Lucina. "Protect Roxel, Tensai, Vi, Xio and their pups." He looked at Aerith and frowned. "Make sure if anything happens to the ship that you all head to the Access Room."
Aerith nodded as she stood and quickly grabbed the dishes. Gunnar and Namine pulled some more dishes from the table and followed the woman.

The blonde looked back at his leader and mate, his blue eyes strong.


Black wisps of Darkness came from the clouds as they settled, moving down towards the land.
When one of the clouds hit the ground, it spread out and a figure emerged. Yellow eyes and pink hair moved as it stood at the entrance of the park.
Hehehehehehe...

Slowly she looked back, seeing another figure before walking through the gates, minding the people walking around.

It was unnerving to see them move but they couldn't let that bother them.

Fuu geared up with the pouch that Namine had made up, quickly summoning her blue chakrams.
Axel did the same, only his chakrams were red. He grinned as he looked at his awesome outfit which was a nice long coak like Seifer's only black with a black sleek shirt and black slacks. The boots were pretty kick ass too.
Olette pulled on her pouch and grabbed her staff, holding it tightly.

As for Ven, it was orders not to call the keyblades yet. It would ruin their cover if the twins could feel the majick from them.

[Reno]

Tensai looked at his dad, then towards the fake park and shook his head. He wasn't so confident...


The silence at dinner was rather unnerving but no one knew what to say, all of them lost in their own thoughts. Some of them were already starting to miss the happy talk they usually partook in, but no one seemed to know what to say to lighten the mood.

But then suddenly a cloud of darkness seemed to press down upon the world.

Just as Roxel utter the words, everyone else started to feel the chill too. Tensai whimpered a little, frightened by the change that was hauntingly familar. He knew this darkness well... but the only vision that accompanied his rememberance was some panicked barks and warm arms holding onto him as loud bangs echoed in his ears.

Terra's eyes narrowed as he looked at the soft flakes falling from the sky - well Aqua had some water now. God they were even changing his world's weather. He and Ven shared a look and he smiled faintly. They could do this...

Roxas looked at Axel a little nervously, before setting down his fork and stood like the other's and soon everyone was in a rush to get ready for what was to come.

Hahahahaha...
Another laugh echoed as a second, slightly taller figure emerged from the clouds, his hair standing out in the falling snow. He followed after the slighter, looking around.


Seifer drew his gunblade, standing next to his wife. He looked towards her reaching over and placing a hand over hers, giving her a reassuring smile - because he wasn't sure if he'd ever get another chance to.

Some of the kids had nervously crowded near the thershold of the kitchen, looking out towards their parents. Tensai was holding onto Roxel's hand tightly, his eyes wide and scared.

Roxas shut his eyes, clenching and unclenching his fingers to try and ward off the need to call his dual keyblades. It wasn't time yet... He glanced towards Axel, and smiled faintly, seeing the simple-minded red-head was too busy staring at his self to be scared. He shook his head before leaning in and brushing his lis against the other's.

Aqua took a deep breath to calm Tsuami, watching the two demons that had killed two of her good friends two years prior walking around the amusement park - sidestepping things as if they were real. she looked at Fuujin and then wrapped her arms around her, hugging her tightly.

Terra walked up next to Ven, who was by the control panel looking out and waiting. Their knuckles brushed before Terra locked their fingers together, squeezing lightly. They glanced at each other, before the brunette looked over at the other chasers and nodded slowly.

Seifer took the cue and pressed the button by the door. It whispered open, bringing in the cold winds and some snow started to dust the front entrance. They all waited with bated breath, seeing that the twins made no indicatin of seeing them at all.


Rant glanced around his eyes narrowing a bit as he watched a rollercoaster drop. He hurried next to Rave's side, pointing up.
Look at how amusing,
Rides for our choosing...

"Now!" Terra ordered sharply. The three pairs of chasers took leap from the ship as Ven flipped the switch of the holograph and soon the two were rushing out as well.

Rant raised an eyebrow as everything around seemed to crackle and then fade from his eyes. His eyes narrowed sharply and he smirked.
Sister dear,
They're here.

There was something cricitical that the other's forgot when devising this plan. Heartless could sense hearts... That was how even though some of the blind heartless could locate people.

Without either even turning around, the team of eight found themseleves in a world of trouble as a wave of darkness seemed to shoot up in front of them forming just a wall of blackness. Most everyone had to skid to a stop, eyes widening in horror.

The wall seemed to hold itself in the air for a horrible second, then it curled and with the force of gravity behind it fell at a terrible speed upon the chasers.

"SHIT!" Someone cried but no one was sure who. Keyblades snapped into hands. Crises were issued and in the midst of the terror.

Roxas pointed Oathkeeper up depeerately, a stream of light shooting at the tip and crashing into the wave above but it wasn't enough and the darkness crashed down upon them with all the force of a tidal wave.

Rant turned, grinning.
No matter how much you wished for it,
the mice can never become the cats, not one bit.

[Rikugurl]

The pink haired girl looked up, her razor sharp smile shinning as she saw the drop.
Before she could skip to the ride, the people around her suddenly shook and disappeared.
Her eyes widened as she looked around, seeing nothing but a vast land of snow.

Her eyes narrowed as she felt it too. Seven hearts.
She looked back, seeing the eight going after them. She recognized Terra and Ven off the bat and growled. That old man must of saved them.
How dare you ruin our day
Now it is you who we shall play!

Ven growled as he continued to run next to his mate, Aero Maxim in his arm now. His eyes widened though as he saw a large wall of Darkness come out of no where and skidded to a stop. He looked up in horror as it wasn't a wall... but a huge wave.

Olette stopped and squeaked, seeing the wave. She blinked, hearing her husband yell out.
Her first instinct was to run. She quickly turned and dashed away.

Fuu blinked and almost skid into Ven. She looked up as well but frowned.
"TORNADO!" A small gust of wind was picked up, making the ice swirl. Shit... her wind was no match here... It looked more like a dust weed than a tornado!

No matter what anyone did, the wave shot down and over them.


"DADDIES!" Roxel called, tears in his eyes.
"AH!" Gunnar watched in terror as his parents were sucked in.
Namine only covered her mouth, remembering this all to well.
Aerith frowned but wrapped her arms around all the kids. "Please... we must stay as quiet as possible..."


The wind that Fuu had made wisped around and the girl Heartless disappeared.

Ven winced as he was forced into the ice, crying out as his body felt that stick... of cold... He could feel some of his strength being sucked into the force.
However, he blinked when he felt something under him. It was cold... but nothing like the ice.
Suddenly the wave was broken as they were pushed through it and up into the air.

No one likes to get dragged through the mud
Let us help by killing you in cold blood!
The force pushed them high into the clouds and suddenly... it disappeared.

They were going to free fall.
"YEEEEEEEE!!!" Olette cried out as she was tossed up... and then started to fall back down. "NOOOOOO!!"

Fuu cried as she was pushed up and blinked as the pressure left them. She started to fall back but frowned, throwing her chaks up in the air. They went flying and circled around her and Aqua, creating a powerful gust of wind to keep them from falling.

Axel gripped onto Roxas as they were pushed up... and then started screaming bloody murder as they started back down to the earth.

Ven wasn't all to worried about being pushed in the air. The moment the force dropped, he pointed Aero Maxim down at the closest set of Dark clouds, making a field of wind.
Olette fell into it and blinked, looking about and grabbed her staff, trembling a little.
Axel fell into it as well and panted. Man... he was getting TO OLD FOR THIS!

Ven was about to glide down with his mate when he felt something rip his side. Blood started to seep down as he winced. What the...
A flash of yellow made him turn around, seeing only a flash of pink hair as well before another cut was inflicted on him.
You have become much more slow
I hope that you do know.
I was hoping that you would grow
WHOA!"

She suddenly dodged another keyblade as it came at her neck. She growled at the brunette that was going after her but when he was close enough, her sleeve opened, a huge blast of energy shooting out at him.
"TERRA!"

[Reno]

OOC: Not to interuppt the whole dramatic fighting scene or nothing but I GOT AN A ON MY TEST HONEY!

Lucina gave a short scream her eyes wide as she watched her parents get overtaken.
Tensai covered his eyes, crying, "Daddy!!!"
In the background they could ehar Invidia barking, but Aerith call for quiet made all of them fall silent.


Terra grunted as he fell beside Ven, feeling the ice dancing at the back of his neck; he struggled against the darkness that seemed to be holding him down - but then suddenly he felt himself get thrown upwards. He twisted against the force and suddenly he was looking down - the ground was so far away now. His heart stopped. He opened his mouth and screamed.

Aqua flailed a little, crying out in panic as she started to fall, but then suddenly a second force caught her. She breathed hard glancing over at Fuujin and sighed in relief, offering her a smile of gratitude.

Roxas winced, hearing Axel screaming and held onto him, trying to concentrate, trying to think of a way to keep them from dying - but didn't have to when suddenly they landed on another force - wind.

Seifer grunted as he hit as well, scrambling to his feet hurriedly and dragging Hyperion into his hands. He was shaking all over from terror and he looked around wildly, almost expecting them to fall again.

Terra grunted as he landed, breathing a little more steadily. But his relief didn't last long as he felt a sharp bite of ghostly pain in his side. He looked up in panic towards Ven and then growled in fury. He snarled and jumped up rushing forward, swiping at her - but she hurried moved away. He growled, chasing after her. "You bit-" He never finsihed though when suddenly a blast of energy smacked into him. He gave a cry flying backwards and smacked hard into the edge of the wind field.

He coughed, rolling over slowly and struggled to his hands and knees. He spit out some blood, snarling angrily and rasied his eyes to meet Rave's, amber meeting her yellow. "Bitch." He snapped, getting back to his feet.

Aqua could hear the commotion going on and glanced down seeing that Fuujin had caught her before Ven had called up the field. She watched Terra fly back and growled a little before standing unsteadily on the wind and jumped off rasiing Tsuami high as the falling snow colelcted around it. She landed on the next field and slammed her keyblade down, a stream of blue energy skirting across it and smacking into Rave.

Meanwhile Roxas was letting his hands slipped from his husband, heaering the commotion going on beside him. He quickly got to his feet and reached a hand out to help Axel as well -

Crack!

Roxas yelped in pain as a crackling whip snapped around his wrist and then suddenly he was thrown off of his feet - and clear off the field. He cried out again, his caught hand curling around the whip made of darkness tightly.

He was snapped around before the force holding him went lax and he was dangling from the end, shocks of darkness rushing through his system and numbing his lower body almost completely. He looked up towards horrible yellow eyes framed by red hair grinning maliciously down at him.

Look the Keyblade Master I caught,
'I'm safe' Is that what you thought?
I dare say not,
Let's hope you bleed a LOT.

Rant rasied the whip up to his lips, opened his mouth and bit down.

Snap!

"NO!!!" Roxas felt himself fall yet again. He fell through the air, disturbingly motionless. His body whole body was numb and he couldn't get it to respond to him. He struggled as he fell - knowing if he didn't somehow pull himself into a glide he was going to die.

[Rikugurl]

OOC: YAY! THAT'S MY GIRL!

Ven growled as he felt iron in his mouth. Some blood dripped down and he was about to swing at her when he heard something more frightening.
He looked down, seeing his brother fall from the field. His eyes widened as he shot off.

Trying to trick me
Little wolfie?
It is unfortunate for you
That you will see your end too.

She lifted her hand again, another powerful ball on energy building up... but she was suddenly thrown off her feet. She landed on the cloud and growled, but pointed the ball towards the sky and blasted it.

Fuu growled as she dashed after her wife. She threw her chaks at the Heartless, both going to either side. A fierce wind blew between them, making the blue energy still on the girl started to freeze.

Axel's eyes widened as he saw Roxas. His eyes narrowed as a flame wrapped around him. He was about to shoot towards the boy in red but Olette took his arm. "Go get Roxas! Leave this kid to me!" She nodded as she suddenly took off towards the boy.
She growled as she raised her staff as swung it with all her might at the boy's back.

Axel looked down but nodded... slowly getting an idea. He jumped off the field and fell down after his lover. Fire from his chakrams pushed him down to the level Roxas was and suddenly sent them flying to the ground below.
The Chakrams didn't hit the ground put swirled around to melt the ice that had fallen.

Ven stopped and saw what Axel was trying to do. There wouldn't be enough water to catch their fall... unless...
He pointed his keyblade down at the ground, making the ice far below blow towards the melting ice.
Axel wrapped his arms around his lover as they fell towards the pool of water.

When they hit, they didn't fall in too much... but it saved their bones. Axel resurfaced with Roxas, shivering from the freezing water. "Damn it... I HATE water!" He pouted but his eyes widened as he heard a huge crash... like glass breaking.

The ball of power that Rave had sent out only grew bigger as it got into the sky.
And then, a huge explosion occurred.
Everyone stopped and looked up... seeing something...unbelievable.
The part of the sky looked like it was shattered and an outside world was passing by.

There is no where here to play
This world is dull and grey.
We like to jump, frolic and skip
So off we go to the land of flying ships!

The ice around her cracked as if it was nothing as he stood. She dashed towards Terra, not giving him time to think. She grabbed his collar, her sleeves pulling him up off his feet. A sudden flick of her arm sent him towards the hole fast and he was swallowed in.

Ven felt a shock of fear run over him and he looked back, only to see a pair of yellow eyes. "AAAAAH!" He was pulled up from the back of his neck, feeling the freezing fabric of her sleeve. He too was suddenly thrown at the shatter, crying out as it sucked him in.

Fuu's eyes widened as she watched the two and growled. She dashed towards the girl only to see her disappear in the clouds. She stopped and looked around but yelped as the clouds under her were thrown up and she was up in the air. Something hard hit her back, making her breathless.
Rave had kicked her hear and the silverette was sent flying towards the hole.

[Reno]

Nice try
You fly.

Rant turned around to face Olette's blow head on and reached up, gripping the staff in his hand. He grinned at her maliciously, but before he could do anything an angry cry, definitely male made him turn his head. He held up his other hand, the double-sided spear-sword apeparing in his hand.

Sparks flashed at two blades connected and Seifer glowered at the boy. Rant only smirked more and with a hard upward motion parried the blade from his, making the usually unshakable fighter stumble - and with a vicious kick to the stomach he was sent flying. Moments later he yanked the winded looking Olette around and threw her as well and she collided atop her husband.

Roxas squeezed his eyes shut, feeling his fingers twitching but he couldn't get them to respond enough. Just then he heard a soft roaring that went above the rushing air in his ears and he peeked his lids open only to have then widened in surprise. "A-Ax?!" Was he thrown over to or was he just suicidal!?

He felt himself grabbed, and barely five full seconds later they were slamming into a pool of freezing water. Once he resurfaced he coughed, teeth chattering but the shock was enough to loosen up his muscles and he reached up grabbing onto Axel's shoulders. "I-I-Idiot! You could have died!" However, before more could be said, the heard a horrible noise and looked up.

Terra panted hard, hearing a yell and glanced over. His eyes widened a fraction, seeing Roxas falling but suddenly the girls voice echoed in his head. He looked back over to her, growling.

But sudenly a powerful attack was smacking her away and chakrams flew after her and he sighed a little in relief seeing Aqua and Fuujin.

But even still it didn't faze her too much and sudden she shot a ball of power up towards the sky and he was eerily reminded of Master Xehanort. Instead of Kingdom Hearts thought it was something much worse. The sky... seemed to break apart like it were a window and Rave some girl who hit a baseball too far.

It revealed another world - and how that was possible he didn't know, and wait what did she mean his world was bori- "WAAAH!" He cried as he was, without any warning at all, grabbed and chucked into the sky and it felt like the gravity of the other world sucked him in...


"Fuu!" Aqua was heard crying out.

Seifer and Olette were jsut gained there bearing and getting back to their feet. Rant seemed to shake his head a malicious glower on his face and his whip reappaered. It cracked and circled around both of their ankles. He yanked them hard and relished at their cries before he threw them into the sky. they smacked hard into the already sailing silverette and all three were pushed through.

With Ven now gone the field of wind under Aqua's feet slowly started to disappear until it could no longer hold her up. she fell with a cry of surprise and grit her teeth, flipping in the air. The falling snow colelcted around her forcefully - and because it was her element was easy to gather until a protective ball of water was around her.

Even stil she smacked into the ground hard, the impact making her body jolt. The water burst and nearly froze upon impact with the snow littered ground. Aqua lay there coughing, feeling her whole body aching, until someone dark landed in front of her. She looked up slowly, her eyes locking with Rave's. "You... bitch." She hissed.

Rant meanwhile landed next to the pool Axel and Ven had created together, looking at the two trembling occupants within. Roxas and Axel looked at him, afraid and furious.

Oh my look at how you two appear,
Hate of water, did I hear?
Never fear for what is ahead,
Is a land of sky and ships instead!

He stomped his foot down and the small stream shot up like a geyser. They both gave a scream as the stream shot up higher and higher until they met the sky as well and were also sucked within the planet.

Moments later, Aqua was being tossed up as well courtesy of his dear sister, but she was too breathless to even utter a sound. He looked over at Rave, grinning wildly.

We must use haste
Time we should never waste.
Let's go, let's go!
To the ships we will say hello!

And together they jumped through the portal as well, leaving Sigurd, five children, one healer and six pets behind.

Lucina stared outside of the ship, seeing everything slowly go back to normal. the sky seemed to heal itself, and the bright sun of Atteris shined with heat once more, causing nearly all the fallen snow to melt instantly. But no one... not a soul... was outside any longer. "M-Mom... and d-dad... and everyone!"

Tensai dropped his hands hesitantly, and upon the sight of everyone being gone he started to shake, fat tears rushing down his face. "Daddy!! Daddy!!!!" Beside him he heard Roxel also crying out.

Luci was quiet, hearing the other kids reacting around her as well, all of them beginning to panic no matter what Aerith tried to reassure. She stomped her foot down, the noise loud on the metal flooring and causing a pause to ripple across the ship. "We have to go after them!!" She turned to look at her brother, determined if not a little scared. "We need to fly the ship!"


Terra wasn't sure what happened. One minute he felt like debris on a carpet being sucked away in a vacuum, the next he was grunting as he landed atop of something hard and made of metal. And MOVING. His fingers curled, trying to find some sort of hold, but he started to slip from the metal.

Damn it he had had enough of falling for one fucking afternoon. Quciksand appeared and he slammed it into the metal, and it gave way easily. He clutched onto it looked around and his eyes widened at the sight of the town around him. Under him he could hear the familar sounds of a moter and turbines and and soft whooshes that he recognized... from Sigard. "Fuck.." He whispered, knowing wthout a doubt he had just broke a hole into the top of an airship. But a cry drew his attentions towards the sky and - "VEN?!"

[Rikugurl]

Olette blinked as she was yanked and cried out a bit... but she stopped when she heard a voice and looked the same direction that Rant looked. "Seifer!" She cried as she saw her husband was pushed back. Anger grew in her eyes but before she could fight back, she was tossed at him. She fell on top him and panted.

Slowly they got up together but it seemed that the moment they were able to get stable, their feet came from under them again. "AAH!!" Olette hit the ground for only a moment before she was tossed into the air with her blonde lover.
And what was worse... they crashed into someone else.

As Fuu went flying, her process quickened with the help of Olette and Seifer.


Axel blinked as he looked down at Roxas and smiled, his teeth chattering. "H-ey I-I-I g-ot Ta-ta-two l-ives le-eeft."
He frowned though as he saw a shadow run over them and looked up, seeing the Heartless. Ships...?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
He and Roxas were thrown up into the air... and like everyone else, was sucked into the new world.


Why is everyone calling me a bitch
Is it a glitch?
Now up you go into the sky
So we can all play and fly!

She reached down and threw the woman way up so she was now sucked in.
The pink hair whooshed as she looked at her brother, a toothy grin appearing.
My dear brother after you
For I want to play too!

She jumped into the air after the other one and disappeared as well.


Roxel's eyes grew wide as everything outside started to clear up... but his parents were no where to be found. He bit his lip as his eyes started to water. "My...my..." He burst into tears and covered his face.
Aerith covered her mouth but quickly wrapped the two boys in her arms. "Shhh, please don't cry. I know they'll be ok..."

Gunnar watched, not believing his eyes.
He blinked though when he got a look from his sister and blinked.
"We need to fly the ship!"
His eyes widened but he blinked and looked brave, quickly leaving the window and running to his chair at he controls as Lucina got into their fathers.
He started to flip some switches, turning the motors on and air moving.

The dust from under them started to blow as the ship slowly rose off the ground. Another switch was pushed, bringing in the wheels. "CLEAR!"

Namine blinked as the ship got moving. "What are you doing!?" Did they even know how to fly this thing!?


The blonde went flying through the sky, further than Terra because wind picked him up. "AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
He finally stopped... abruptly.
He smashed and broke into something wood, making him fly into a room and hitting the wall. He fell to the floor and grunted, slowly picking himself up.

Wood fell off him as he got on his feet, shaking a bit. He looked out to see a huge hole in the side of the room, clouds passing by. He blinked though as he heard footsteps coming down stairs and looked up, seeing a scruffy looking man.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY SHIP!?" He drew his sword and growled.
Great...


Fuu flew through the air, and like Ven, she was taken further than those who smacked into her.
Luckily, she smack into something... soft. A sail.
The breath was taken out of her but she slowly fell down the large sheet and down to the wooden floor.


Olette cried out until she too hit a wooden floor. She winced and panted, feeling too weak to get up. She opened her eyes, seeing her husband landed next to her. But what made her blink was a girl's voice close by.
"Lookie heeya! We have visitas!" She sounded pretty excited...


Axel flew back, smacking something cold. He sighed softly but yelped as he started falling down. "EEEEEEEE!!!" But to his surprise, down below was someone he knew. When he slipped off, he fell and suddenly reached up, grabbing Terra's ankle.

[Reno]

Tensai reached up and held onto Aerith;s dress, looking up as Gunnar and Lucina went to work.

Lucina grinned as her brother went to work and she jumped in the pilot's seat. The ship slowly started to rise, shaking a bit, and Gunnar issued the all clear. "Roger that!" She called and grabbed the main control, slowly rising the ship upwards.

She grinned at Namine's cry. "Flying! We're not pilot aids for nothing!!" It wouldn't be her or Gunnar's first drive driving the ship - but it would be the first without adult supervision and their first clearing atmosphere. All she and her brother had to go by was what their dad taught.

"Clearing troposphere!" Lucina called. Gunnar continued to give her updates. "Turning on turbines one and two." She flipped them on as they entered the stratosphere. The ship started to climbing higher and faster, and things we're starting to get cold. "Entering Mesosphere, turning on three. Gunnar hit the heat circulation on and transfer the main boilers power to the turbines!" That she remembered was icnredibly important. If that wasn't on the turbines could freeze - and that would not make for a pretty sight.

"We've hit Ionosphere! Turning on four!" The ship started to shake some, which wasn't so unusual but she knew she was forgetting something vital. Then it hit her. "Gun, turn on the atmosphere pressure negation!" Once he did the almost wild shaking slowly died down and the lights on the ship dimmed, turning all the power towards reaching space.

"We're in the exosphere! One more to go!" One hand still on the wheel and pulled back to make them climb, Lucina placed her hand over the last two switches as they continued to climb, waiting for the right moment. It had to be done at the right time or they wouldn't have enough pwoer and force to clear the last atmosphere. She heard Gunnar giving status report. "Everyone hold on! Reaching Magnetosphere - turning on main and secondary thrusters... NOW!" She flipped them. Their was an audible noise of fire roaring from underneath them - the thrusters turning one. The pressure was slammed down onto them - but with the negation on it only felt like something heavy had been placed on your shoulders and was trying to push you down. She heard Tensai and Roxel making a racket and the pups whining.

Then, then it was over. They broke through the last part and reached space. The pressure left in an instant and everyone started to float a little, but Gunnar hit the gravitional field so no one went too far before their feet touched the ground once more.

Lucina let them fly up through space and turned the wheel, moving quickly away from the planet and moving into the blankness of space. Then she turned off the thrusters and three of the turbines while Gunnar lowered the boilers power and turning off the pressure negation. She glanced at the status bar as well seeing systems were still all green and fuel was good.

Lucina looked around in amazement at the stars around them. She grinned. "WE MADE IT! Gunnar we did it!!!"


"Ven!!" Terra cried, seeing his lover flying farther away then him. He grunted at the other's rough landing, feeling it too but he wasn't 'dead' again so that was good. The brunette looked up towards the sky, only to see more of his team fall from the sky. Fuujin - who flew far like Ven had and towards a sail; Seifer and Olette - who hit the wooden deck of another ship.

Then suddenly to figures hit the top of the ship he as on and something red sped past him, only to grab his ankle. "AHH!" He grimanced as the keyblade groaned but thankfully stayed grounded to the ship - no pun intended. Up above he heard another screech of metal on metal, seeing Roxas had thought of the same thing he had. "Hold on Axel!" He called down to the other. He grunted struggled with his free foot to gain purchase and with body strength alone tugged him and Axel up a little.

Shakily he let go of his keyblade with one hand, twisted his body and holding his hand out to the fire-starter. Once Axel took it he yanked the slighter up roughly. "Grab on." He ordered and let Axel hold onto his keyblade. The two seemed to sigh in relief.

"What do we do now?!" Roxas called from further up, Oblivion buried into the hull of the ship as he looked down at them. He had curled around the keyblade so that his legs crossed around it and one arm hooked around it. The other arm was wrapped across his ribs as if they were hurting him.

Terra just shook his head. "We need to get down somehow!" Before Rant and Rave showed up preferably. "You okay?!"

"Yeah." Roxas called back.


Seifer yelled out and then suddenly smacked hard into the wood like his wife had just moment before him. He grunted in pain, feeling the breath leave him in a whoosh and laid there quietly slowly gaining it back. "Nnn..." He looked up at the girl's voice blinking away the stars from his eyes before turning his head to look at his wife. "You okay?"


Aqua gave a cry as she was thrown through into the sky - feeling like she was about to stretch apart - and then the feeling broke away and suddenly... she was falling. "AHHH!" She screamed, looking around terrified. Suddenly she saw a ship right under her and coming up fast. Too fast for her to react in time.

She smacked hard into a metal wing that shot out like a dolphins dorsal fin, head connecting with a crack. Dazed she barely noticed as she slipped down the wing and landed at the junction between it and the body of the ship, slumped against it. She groaned weakly, something sticky and warm slipping down the side of her face and slowly she shut her eyes falling unconcious. The wind pushed at her body and made her clothes flap around roughily, but luckily she was in a safe area so she wouldn't fall any further.

[Rikugurl]

As Lucina was on the main control, Gunnar was working on the status, coolers and burners. He was always really good at this with his father, but with his sister, he kind of blanked out, feeling a bit overwhelmed. He pressed some buttons and watched the screen intensely. As his sis called out orders, he did them promptly and gave her the status.

Namine said it would be a good idea to hold onto something. She gripped onto the window handle as Aerith held onto the threshold of the kitchen, the two little boys holding onto her. They both buried their faces into her dress, wrapping their arms around and holding each other's hands.

Xio and Vi were vibrating and sliding around when the ship became unstable. He stood over his pups protectively as he kept an eye on his mate to make sure she was ok.

When they hit space, everyone became a bit unnerved as they started to float a bit but gravity and oxygen quickly flowed.
Gunnar blinked, looking out the window from his chair to see the star. He looked at his sister and grinned, getting up and dancing around. "Yea, yea yea! We're awesome! SO AWESOME!"

Namine shook her head and frowned. "Well if you guys are so awesome... why aren't we in that world that everyone else is?" Gunnar blinked and frowned. "Well... the portal closed to fast!"
"So now what do we do??"
The dark brunette frowned as he thought, but his eyes widened. He smiled and quickly rushed down stairs, everyone watching in question.

The boy smacked the button to open his parents room and walked in, quickly going to the dresser. He reached up and patted the top, praying that... YES!
He grabbed the watched and pulled it down, rushing back upstairs to the Pilot Lounge.
He held the watch and smiled. "I can find Venny with this!" He started to work on the watch and it started to beep. "Ah!" He took out the cord that the watch had and hooked it into the computer.

It came up, showing a world that the other watch was located on.
Everyone's eyes widened as they saw it.
Connection 14.
They have never even been that far.
Mako eyes turned to the girl next to him and grinned.
Thank GOD that dad had refueled a day ago.

Namine saw the looked and gasped. "Don't you dare! It could be dangerous out there!"
Gunnar looked back and frowned. "Well how else are we suppose to save everyone!?"

Aerith just blinked and shook her head, rubbing the backs of the two boys. All she could do now was pray.


Ven blinked as he heard a beeping from his watch. He glanced down quickly, seeing the signal was coming from Olette's watch back on the ship... and the ship was no longer on Atteris. What the hell were those kids doing!?

"You gonna fix tha---"
The angry man started when all of a sudden another thing hit the side of the ship and went flying through the other side.
"AAAH!" Ven jumped out of the way and fell, quickly getting back to his feet. It had been a ball of energy.
Damnit... those kids wasted no time. He looked across the rubble at the man and frowned. "Go find a safe spot!"
"SAFE!? IN THE SKY!? YOU'RE NOT FROM AROUND HERE ARE YOU!?"
"WELL THAN LAND THIS FUCKING THING, YOU FUCK!"
The man grunted but left, going back up to the deck.

Who the fuck came up with flying boats!?


Fuu looked around, a bit dizzy but what she did see was horrifying. From the beautiful clear sky, two Heartless popped out. They floated in the air as if it was nothing and quickly made haste of splitting. The pink haired one came her way.

She cried as a blast from Rave hit the ship and fell over onto the wooden deck. He got to her feet only from someone to come up from hull. They looked at each other and quickly both got into stance.
"Where the hell are you all coming from!?"


From a police ship, the only metal ships in the sky, a man blinked as he heard something hit the wing. He looked out the window as saw a woman on the side. With a gasp, he rushed off, not caring about the others asking where he was going.
He opened the door to the wing, wing blowing in fiercely. He frowned as he stepped out, a bit wobbly on is feet as he grabbed the woman and brought her in.

He laid her down, seeing the blood coming from her head.
"Ah! She needs help!"
The other men ran over and looked down at her.
"Blue....hair....?"
"Come on! We've seen odder things on his world! NOW COME ON!"
"Like that tattoo of yours?"
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN!?"

He pulled the woman up and rushed to her the nearest washroom where he leaned her on the wall and dabbed her head with a wet cloth.


Axel's eyes were big as he dangled from the land keyblade's ankle. He looked up, seeing Roxas way up on the ship holding on for dear life. He swallowed as he reached up and grabbed Terra's ankle with his other hand as the brunette pulled himself up. When Terra held out his hand, Axel reached up, happy that his arms were so long.

"AH!" He was thrown up and grasped the keyblade tightly.
His sigh as audible like Terra's. Yet again they were stuck together... but this time, he could kiss Roxas if he thought he was going to die!

"We need to get down somehow!"
He blinked and slowly looked down... seeing they were MILES AND MILES AND MILES FROM THE GROUND.
"....................AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"


The brunette shook her head and slowly got up, looking over at her husband. "I-I'm fine. How about you?" He grabbed her staff and slowly looked up.... blinking as she saw interesting boots.
She looked up more to see a girl about 10 looking down at her. She had long blonde hair with tan skin and....
"EARS!?"
She jumped up and blinked, looking at the rabbit ears. "OH MY GOD! THAT IS SO CUTE!?"

She reached down and poked it, seeing it flinch. Her eyes widened more as the girl frowned. "Aye! Leave 'em alone!"
"There's real?"
"Duh!"

[Reno]

Invidia's ears flattened as the pressure came around them and she nudged closer to her family. She never did get used to this 'going into space' thing. And she knew it was not normal - or correct - that the younger pup-humans were driving it instead of one of the adult humans. But once it was all over she sighed, raising her head to nuzzle her family.

Tensai sniffled a little, his fingers tightening around Roxels as he heard the older kids fight. He didn;t care about what they were doing... he just wanted to get there soon - before he lost his other dads too.

Lucina chuckled a bit when she saw the watch. She decided against warning him about it - 'Remember what happened laaaast time?' - because she was pretty sure this was an emergency and what their mother intended it's use for. She rolled her eyes at Namine;s complaint. "Nam, we're Chasers. EVERYTHING out there is dangerous." She waved her hand, and then, weith the coordinates set in by the watch it was only a matter of setting the ship in that direction and with a few buttons and some extra thrust they were off, speeding through Connection two. They had a long, long way to cover.

She wasn't sure about going into hyperspeed though. Without her father their that made her a little more nervous - infact she was nervous now. She could feel her hands shaking some. They were driving the ship... all by themseleves. And if something happened to it they wouldn;t have the adults, except Aerith, their with her. That was scary.


Aqua groaned softly as the wet cloth was pressed to her head. She grimanced, her eyes fluttering open, feeling rather dizzy. "F-Fuu...?" She called only to have her eyes focus on... some guy she definitely did not know. What was he doing - and why was she here and where was everyone else?! She jerked away only to filnch and fall against the wall again. She already recognized the signs of an on-coming concussion. "Who... the hell are you?"

Outside she could here a sudden commotion. Something about a breach in the engine room. What... the hell?


Roxas looked down as Axel started screaming and laughed a bit. That... was nothing new to him. But he was still incredibly glad it was not him stuck right next to the red-head.

Terra winced at the scream and reached out slapping his hand over Axel mouth. "Listen to me, do you want me to drop you?!" A shake of the head. "Good. So you want to live right?" A nod. "Good. THEN SHUT UP AND TRUST ME!" He let his hand drop and he started to look around for a solution. Imn the corner of his eyes though he could see two heartless flying from the sky. That's when he saw them. Seifer and Olette and... was that... no it couldn't be... Fran?

It didn't matter. The two ships were passing each other - they needed to act now. "Roxas!"

"Yeah?" The blonde called.

"You think you can make it over there?" Terra pointed. "WITH Axel?"

Roxas looked over to where Terra was pointing. He could see a wooden ship passing a little lower then they were - and could see some of their team was on it as well. He bit his lip uncertainly before nodding. "Yeah."

"Okay then get your ass down here!"

Roxas looked down at them nervous. Could the keyblade hold his weight too? He didn't have time to comtemplate it. Oblivion disappeared and suddenly he slid down the rest of the way. He reached out, collding with Quicksand and his feet landed across the blunt edges of the blade on the other side. It groaned again, but once again did not budge. The blonde however hissed, feeling the impact jar his ribs. "W-what about you?" Roxas asked, his voice a little tighter from pain and slight fear.

"I'll get Ven to save my ass. Now get the hell out of here!"

The blonde looked at the other uncertainly, before he reached out and took Axel's hand in his. He manuvered the other carefully beside him feeling the pyro's arms coming around him nervously. "Hold on Axel." The arms only tightened. "I said hold on not suffocate me." The blonde joked. He spared the brunette one last look before he suddenly looked towards his destination, and pounced from the keyblade. He pulled his feet together and with a small, happy thought he was gliding off in the direction of the other ship. But he knew with Axel's added weight... they were going to fall faster.

Terra sighed, placing his hand up against his ear. "Ven? You copy?"

He heard something hit the metal and his eyes widened as a malicious grin was spared his way.

"I could REALLY use some help right now!" Terra cried into the communicator, just as Rant started to slowly walk down the sides of the metal ship towards him - the laws of gravity unknown to him. The land keyblader breathed hard, sparing a glance down like Axel had. It was a long, long, long way down... and he was the one scared of heights. "Fuck..."

Inside the ship, unbeknowst to Terra was the same one Aqua was in, two people were looking at the new, cuts in the ship, one just a blank hole letting in the sunlight - another still had some odd contraption within it. "What do you suppose that is?" One asked the other.


Seifer sighed at his wife;s question but smiled. "I've seen better days." However he looked up as well as he saw the newcomer. His eyebrows furrowed and slowly he stood. "Olette you really shouldn;t antgoni-" He never got to finish before he heard an audible thump against the side of the ship. He glanced over, seeing two hands gripping the sides of the ship and between the wood of the forecastle, and very familar blonde with a red-head desperately clinging on.

"A little HELP please?!" Roxas called, struggling to hook his legs into the ship.

"Holy... shit." Seifer whispered before running over, grabbing onto one of Roxas' arms and trying to tug him up. "Fuck Roxas, lay of the ice cream!"

"I am NOT fat!"

[Rikugurl]

Namine frowned and crossed her arms. She couldn't say much... Lucina and Gunnar had been Chasers all their lives.
She sighed and walked over to Aerith and the boys and smiled. "We should leave the rest to them." She looked at both Roxel and Tensai's scared face and smiled more. "Come on, your dads are all going to be fine... let's go downstairs and play!"

She gently took the boys hands and slowly brought them downstairs. Aerith just looked at the siblings and gave them a reassuring nod before she went down below as well.

Gunnar sighed as they were alone and looked at his sister. He could see her shaking and frowned, placing his hand on hers. "It's ok... but I think we should get into hyper speed if we need to get through 12 connections... they might not be too lucky if we take our time." He saw his sister's face become even more worried and frowned more. "I'm sure we can do it! We've done it a million times!"
Yea, a million times with three people...

He blinked, knowing that there was someone still here that was mobile and was a fast learner.
He looked over at Xio and grinned.
The fire lion saw the look, pressing his ears on his head and whimpered.


The man's blue eyes widened as he heard the woman speak. Well... he didn't know who this Fuu character was... so he really didn't know what to say... but at least she was coming to.
He blinked though when she pulled away and fell back. "H-hey! Stay still alright!?" He wobbled over to her and pressed the cloth on her forehead again before a sudden alarm ran out.

He looked down at her and blinked, his mouth gaping as he heard her question. Well... that wasn't really lady like... but NO one on this world was... or at least not up here.
"Well I'm not going to tell you if you ask me like that, missy!"


Axel's mouth was slapped closed and he stopped before his lung deflated. He blinked, his wide green eyes looking at Terra as he talked.
"Listen to me, do you want me to drop you?!"
He shook his head franticly. "Mmmn, mmm!"
"Good. So you want to live right?".
He nodded franticly. "Mhm!"
"Good. THEN SHUT UP AND TRUST ME!"
He winced but swallowed, feeling the other's hand leave him.

He blinked as he looked up, watching Roxas. He gasped when his husband let go and came falling down towards them... and winced, feeling a pain in his ribs... but he couldn't let go.
He looked down, seeing a ship gliding peacefully below them. H-hey! Was that Fran!?
He smiled happily, finally recognizing SOMEONE.

He blinked though as he saw a hand in front of his face and swallowed. Oh boy... they had to... jump down there... He was pulled up and wrapped his long arms around the younger...
He squeezed harder as he heard to hold on tightly and then... they dropped.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Axel closed his eyes as they fell, squeezing harder even if he felt the phantom pain from it.
But suddenly.... they stopped. He opened his eyes as they swung a bit and then...
BANG!
"OW!" Axel winced as his head collided with the wood of the ship as they swung off it.

Olette pouted as she heard her husband but blinked when she saw something drop from the sky nearly missing the ship. He quickly ran over with Seifer and looked down. "Roxas! Axel!"

Axel blinked though as he heard a familiar voices and looked up, seeing Seifer and Olette. "YAY! WE'RE SAVED!"
He would of danced if he wasn't dangling off a flying ship miles up from their doom.

From the cabin, a tall figure emerged from the darkness.
"What's going on here?" A stern face looked around.
"Mama! 'Em weird people fell on our ship!" The little girl pointed at the two looking over the side of the ship.
The woman frowned as she passed the girl and walked over to the two in question.

She was about to inquire about why they were on the ship when she heard something familiar.
Olette turned and blinked, looking UP at the woman. "Oh.... you're so tall... AND YOU HAVE RABBIT EARS TOO!"
Her amber eyes widened and just rolled her eyes, gently pushing the woman back so she could be by the blonde man.

She looked over the edge, now putting the voices with the face.
"Roxas? Axel?" Her ears tilted a bit as she heard something above her but quickly started to help Seifer pull the two up, now much easier with her strength.


Ven frowned as he suddenly heard something in his ear. Terra... and he sounded frantic. "I'm on my way!"
He suddenly jumped over the debris and ran up the stairs to the top of the ship. There he saw Fuu and the man duking it out. He growled and ran between them, pushing them apart. They both went flying and fell on their butts.
"GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY!"

He raced to the helm and looked around franticly. Where the fuck was he.
Fuu got up and raced over to the blonde. "What are you doing?" The ship suddenly jerked violently as another ball of energy went through it.
"FUCK! WHERE'S TERRA!?"
Fuu looked up and around but blinked when she saw an odd looking ship... and someone dangling from it.
"THERE!" She pointed out.

"What are you doing!? Trying to take my ship!? I'll ki"
"FUU, JUST FUCKING TIE HIM UP OR SOMETHING!"
Fujin blinked but nodded, running back to the guy. He was about to get up when he suddenly felt his whole body seem to cripple up. "A-aaah!" He looked up, seeing the woman's eye glow red as she approached. "What the hell are you?"
She didn't answer as she started to wrap him up in a near by rope.

Ven looked around at the controls. "DAMNIT!" He slammed his hands down on all the buttons and they were suddenly jolted through the sky.
He blinked but grinned, flying the ship up towards the ship that Terra was on. When they got below him and above another wooden ship, the blonde growled, seeing Rant teasing his lover.

"TERRA!"

[Reno]

Tensai was silent as he was led away, but he pulled his hand away from Namine, crossing his arms. Once they reached the area that Namine deemed they should play in he sat down stubbornly and glared at the ground.

He was reminded of something from the story he had been told so long ago. "The Dark Knight told the Hero that the future is never set in stone - that one can promise but never be certain." He looked away. "The Hero responded that belief can go a long, long way. Though he spoke with great heart and great valor, the Dark Knight to this day is still uncertain of those words."

Lucina frowned a little as her brother mentioned going into hyperspeed. But what IF something went wrong? Thery would never be able to fix it and then they'd NEVER get there. However she couldn't help but glance up as her brother glanced away and towards a familar fire lion.

"you're not... thinking what I thionk you're thinking are you?" she asked her brother hesitantly. When she only got a grin and nod, she slowly grew confidant again. She grinned. "Xio, Xio come here boy! We need you're help!" Whe she saw the other;s hesitance she coaxed, "You want to see your masters again right? Then you gotta help us!"


Aqua raised an eyebrow at the other's suddenly brashness and she became sarcastic. "Oh I'm sorry where are my manners? Who the hell are you please?" She smirked but it was half-hearted.

How else was she supposed to respond? The last think in her memory was a pureblood's taunts and being chucked through the air like a baseball - now here she was in some strange area with no recollection of how much time had passed or if anyone was even alive. Well, except Fuujin. Was... the battle over? Did she miss it?!

"Where are my friends!" She demanded suddenly, a little frantic.


Roxas winced a bit at Axel's tightened arms, wanting to slap the other because damn did it hurt! He wished he hadn't landed so hard on the ship when he fell, but he had no really say in that matter anymore.

He looked up when he heard olette's voice, sighing a bit, then his eyes lightened even more as another familar woman came up - one he was sure he;d never see again. He remembered the woman well from the time she had used her exotic looks to trick all in sight, from fighting side by side with her against a leopard beast, finally to have her gone without a trace - nothing but a note left in her wake.

"Hey Fran... long time eh?" He said a little breathlessly. "too bad it;s on such horrible terms." With Seifer and Fran's help he was able to get a foothold and soon he and his lover were on the deck of their ship getting back their breath. Or at least one of them was.

"You can let go now Axel." The arms seemed to tighten. "Seriously baby, I need to breathe." The minute the arms were off of him, Roxas took a deep breath before glancing around to where Terra had been. Their brunette leader was out of sight at the moment - but he didn't miss seeing another familar brother of his coming towards his rescue. The brunette was going to be fine.

He glanced back towards his old friend with bunny ears. He wished Sora was here - he always wanted to come to this world. At least now he could tell the grave that yes their were indeed other bunny-eared people out there. "I hate to be the bringer of bad news - but you might wanna land. We... are sort of being chased." Chasers being chased. How fucking ironic.


Dare I say, are you scared?
Are you Chasers all impaired?
Do not worry about you're little fear,
Because soon you will just disappear.

Terra panted hard, swinging his legs about, his eyes furious. "Fuck you!"

The boy only grinned, but it held no happiness, only malice. slwoly, he teasingly walked around the brunette as if to show off his skill. He walked as naturally as if he was on the ground. The wolf's eyes never left him for a second.

"I'll fucking tear you apart." Terra hissed, venom in his voice.

The one who cries the loudest,
And the one who is the proudest,
Is full of nothing but boast,
And the one everyone hates the most.
Do you not see where you are?
Or that death is not far?


Below the ship, in the engine room, the two shipmates were still contemplating what to do. "The captain will be furious." The first said.
"Well then... we just have ta get rid of it right?"
"Yep."
"Okay then." Suddenly the second lifting up somethig made of fine metal. "Help me out then."
The other grinned. "Gladly."


"TERRA!"

The brunette spared a glance down, sighing in relief. He knew the blonde would come through for him.

Allow me to share a vow,
That if you leave now,
The ones to pay your price?
Mmm, the ones inside this ship will suffice.

"You... You wouldn't dare." Terra hissed. The boy seemed about ready to answer, but then suddenly something loud and metal, like a shovel hitting the top of the ceiling rang through out the engine room, smacking into the 'contraption' in the ship's side. The brunette cried out, suddenly cviolently dislodged and he fell from the side of the ship and smacked into the wooden one below.

He grunted dazedly, hearing Ven coming up beside him to help him up. He looked up towards the red-head who looked gleeful, a ball of power forming in his hands.

I warned you did I not?
Now it is they who will rot!

Terra's eyes widened and he cried out. "No!!!" But it was too late. The red-head pointed down and the blast was fired and then he was gone.

The ball smashed into the engine room with force, a small explosion sparking within, killing the two shipmates instantly - then a second bigger explosion went off as the engine blew up - taking a good portion of the back of the ship and a good amount of the crew with it. The Atterian shook beside his lover as he heard the screams.

And now without an engine the ship was on a crash course for the ground - and without a doubt it was going to tip and smash into the boat he, Ven and Fuu were on.

[Rikugurl]

Namine blinked as she watched the little boy start to state something... and not sure where it came from.
But she did know that the Dark Knight was Riku and the Hero was Sora.

Roxel blinked as she watched his best friend say the old tellings. He put his finger in his mouth as his big eyes watched the little boy.
"But Ten... you're not the Dark Knight! You're.... You're.... Sunset! YEA!" He smiled and hugged his friend. "They will be ok! Fireball thinks so. Fireball knows so!"

Fireball = Roxel

Gunnar could only keep his grin as his sister sounded a bit worried... but he smiled even more when he saw her all Xio over.
The fire lion backed away a bit more but his ears perked as he heard the rest of her call. He whimpered but slowly walked over to the two.

Gunnar pet him and walked back to the controls. He pointed at a button and smiled. "You see this button? When this area right here," He pointed to the screen above it, "starts to flash red, you need to press that button quickly. You have to keep doing that each time that area gets red, ok? Not too hard right?"
The moomba tilted his head as he watched and blinked, nodding.

"ALRIGHT! Let's do this!" He grinned at his sister and got into place. "Off to Connnection 14 in hyper speed!"


The blonde blinked at the woman. Man... that brought back memories. "Alright wise aaaa---!!"
The ship suddenly jerked violently and they were thrown into another wall. The lights went out and a red glow filled the glow filled the ship. There was an explosion that ran through the hallway and coming right by them.

"SHIT!"
He grabbed the woman and pulled her into a stall and covered his head as the explosion took off the door in the next stall.
But what made his stomach turn was... the sensation of falling...
His eyes widened as he jumped up and jumped over all the debris as he went into the hallway, looking at the....HOLE in the back of the ship.

"AAAAH!!" He gripped his hair and rushed back to the stall, picking up the woman and carrying her down the stairs. The rushed to a pod and placed her in the back before getting in the driver seat. Damnit... was everyone dead...?
He suddenly shot out from the falling ship and out into the sky.
He looked down and sighed. "Uh... I don't know where your friends might be."


Ven's eyes widened as Terra fell and unfortunately wasn't quick enough to catch him. He ran from the helm and down to where his lover was. He leaned down and helped him up, only for the ship above them start.... exploding.
"FUCKER!"

Fuu's eye widened as she looked above, seeing all the scrap metal blow out. "SHIT VEN! GET MOVING!"
Ven suddenly rushed from Terra back to the helm and smashed all the buttons again. They shot through the air and away from the explosion. Some of the scraps fell into the ship though, hitting some sails... and a motor.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SHIP!?" The man who was tied up cried as he wiggled about.
"SHIT! WE'RE GOING DOWN!" Ven gripped onto the wheel, trying to steady it but it started to pull away and spin violently.


The very tall woman looked down at him and nodded. "Don't worry, our first meet wasn't any better."

So you meet friends again
Too bad you will all be in pain.
For ships that are so up high
You should expect where you will lie!

Everyone stopped and looked up, seeing a girl far off floating in the sky. Fran growled and grabbed her bow. She could tell by that power that this was no good.
"Bonnie! Get inside!"
The younger rabbit like girl blinked but nodded, running back inside the ship.

A glow came from the Heartless and Fran looked back at Roxas. "Sorry, no can do. Vieras are not allowed on the ground. We'll fight up here!"

The blast was shot out towards them and an arrow was shot out back. When they hit, a large explosion blasted in front of them.
"GET DOWN!"
Everyone dropped as the power shot towards them and the ship jerked.

When the young girl went inside, she cried when a ball of energy shot through their lovely home. "AAAAAAAH!!" He quickly turned and rushed back to the top, and started to crawl to her mother, covering her head and flattening her ears.
