On Board the my ship, Moon Rider.
Its good. I smell I love triangle coming on though.

As for the bickering...sounds like my siblings except we all come from the same mother and we still fight and bicker. We're all like complete opposites of eachother.

"Dear Diary......"

Mittelwerk laughed and the book fell down to the floor, it's open pages soon turned into fire. Kelsie's eyes widened as all her thoughts written down throughout the years has now been filled with flames. All of its contents gone....

"Noo.....ZIZ!!!!!! Kelsie glared at Mittelwerk. "What did you do to him.

"I never knew you had lovers my dear Kelsie!! As for your precious Zizzy, he's devoid of life..." commented Mittelwerk, no hint of emotion as he spoke. as he saw the burning book turn into dust. "I'm sort of interested in this Ziz character who happened to pop in. And who's Riku? ARGHHHHH!!!"

Mittelwerk spat out blood and turned his head around, much like what an owl would. His eyes widened in shock as he saw his body being pierced by Ziz's Keyblade, the Fallen Angel's Redemption's sharp blade.

"Impossible? How did you survive!" Mittelwerk shouted. Ziz smirked and merely penetrated further in with his Keyblade. "How can you escape what others have died from? What monster are you?"

"You underestimate me so.....I'm not like the others from your world.....now leave Kelsie alone!!!!!" shouted the white haired teen as he threw Mittelwerk's body down on the ground. "Now tell me you! Why have you come here and tried to harass Kelsie!!"

"Don't interfere in business that is not your own, Keyblade Lord. This is business between me and the Tia Dolma....now leave!"

"No...you made it my business when you decided to hurt Kelsie!"

Kelsie could watch the events before her very eyes, Ziz had saved her life once again. Despite wanting to think of him, she had to help him fight Mittelwerk, he knew not what he dealing with.

First she had to break the spell on her. He said stay still, so she could still use her ability. A grin grew across her face. She had learned a new attack back at home.

"You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story"


Water surrounded Ziz. A coccoon grew around him. keeping him unable to fight, but it was just temporary.

"What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?"


A water clone came from him. It hoisted Fallen Water Angel's redemption over his shoulder then both attacked. Mittelwerk left quickly. He could not defeat the water.

"Who was he?" Ziz asked at the spell over Kelsie broke. She sat up.

"Thomas Werner Mittelwerk, or rather the Nobody of him. He has the power to instill commands onto people."

"Obviously.."

"And can infect people with spores. He's a real thinker. And ruthless too. When we get back, I'll need to se if Rachel's laptop is still working..."

"Who's Rachel?"

"The girl who took her down. Well, the two of us did." She smiled. "She doesn't know about he worlds though." She frouned. "Did you read my diary?"

Kelsie frowned, her eyes glaring at Ziz. His muscular body shakened in her intimidating presence, it was funny to him in a way. He never felt so nervous being stared at by a girl, especially one unlike the majority of the usually submissive girls he met back in his time. Ziz closed his eyes, he was too nervous to be able to have eye contact with her, what the hell was wrong with him??.

"Surely I did not feel this way when I was with Stasia...god bless her soul..." Ziz thought as he gulped nervously. "Then again....Kelsie is something completely different."

Did you read my diary?"

"I did......." said Ziz, his expression now solemn. He was now awaiting for a slap in the face by the girl, but suddenly felt squeazed upon tightly around the waist. Ziz opened his eyes. "Huh? You're hugging me? But why??"

Kelsie nodded, her frown now a smile. Ziz let out a sigh of relief, happy to know that at least she wasn't angry at him.

"Diaries may be replaced, but I'm glad that bastard Mittelwerk didn't hurt you too badly......" Kelsie kissed Ziz lightly on the left cheek, causing his face to redden of embrassment. "Hopefully, he's gone from now. We need to rest up, we'll be meeting up with Riku and the others in Radiant Garden to prepare to return to that other universe..."

Ziz's fists clenched tightly at the thought of Riku. She had to ruin the moment...

"You just had to mention him did he..." He immediately walked from Kelsie and muttered a good night to her and quickly returned to his quarters, slamming his door. Kelsie wondered what was up with him, yet she was too tired to think of anything, so she decided to sleep over it. She'll ask the next day...maybe he's just nervous of the trip.

It's been a week since returning to Earth, but to Ajani, it was an Earth that had forgotten all about him. Even though he grew accustomed to the advanced technology in that other universe, he was utterly bewildered by the technology of today's Earth.

To keep the fact that Ajani is a Spartan warrior from more than two thousand years ago, Meddy decided that they would live in a town similiar to one that Kelsie had come from so that Ajani could adjust quickly to his new surroundings. In an apartment room, Ajani laid on a king sized bed, wearing only dark blue jeans and on his right, laid his slumbering lover. Meddy was sleeping comfortably wearing a black tanktop and pink shorts.

"Hm.." Ajani rubbed a bump on his neck that was covered up and kept hidden by his shoulder length pinkish silver hair. "I wonder if I'll ever completely be free of that damned Palpatine's control..." Then he got up and off the bed and put on a dark green sleeveless hoody and a pair of black nikes and started towards the door when Meddy woke up.

"Ajani, where are you going?" She asked as she sat up and brushed her pink hair out of her blue eyes. "Ajani?"

"I'm just going to take a walk around the block." He opened the door and left, as the door closed, a sad expression showed itself on Meddy's face. "Don't worry."

"I really wonder if returning to Earth was really the best choice for you to make, Ajani," said Meddy as she hugged her pillow and scunched up. "I don't want to be alone like that ever again...," she said as she looked at her black shades on the table next to the bed.

The doors of the Gummi Ship swinged open. Kelsie and Ziz quickly exited out of the small space vessel in unision.

"Welcome to our city of Radiant Garden, miss Kelsie Nielson and sir Ziz Nightingale." greeted a SOLDIER guard as he bowed down in respect to the Tia Dolma and Keyblade Lord. "It is a honor to have your presence here in our mighty capitol city once again. It has been a while." He lended out a hand to the both of them.

Barely six months.

Kelsie stopped and was confused in the respect given to her by the SOLDIER. It's was only a while ago that these very same people were attacking the worlds and seeking to kill her in their plan for world domination. Out of the blue, a member of SOLDIER appears out of nowhere and pays them two respect. Then again, the new President and former SOLDIER head Lazard promised to rebuilt Shin-Ra as a corporation only and not a military superpower like they were under the Ansem possessed Rufus Shinra.

"Pleasure to meet you once again Kunsel. Nice to see the city being rebuilt after that little incident with you know who....." Ziz flashed a slight smile at Kunsel. "Not like I want to have some small talk, but where are the others? Has anyone arrived yet here?"

"Well Riku has arrived I believed as well as the King of Disney Castle and is accompanied by some of his bodyguards, Sora and his Nobody counterpart Roxas I believe as well. As for that Spartan warrior and that woman accompanying him, he hasn't contacted us if he had arrived or not." answered Kunsel. "My job directed by the Director was to accompany you and miss Nielson to where they are."

"Very well then." said Ziz as he walked ahead, solemn he was in his facial expression. "Let's go then and meet the others..." He didn't even wait for Kelsie....

"Where's Riku and the others?" Kelsie asked Kunsel, ignoring Ziz. "Where exactly are they?"

"Main hangar bay up ahead, your friends are waiting for there. Especially Riku." said Kunsel pointing to a large castle up ahead.

Outsde the apartment building, the street is crowded as always with people walking, running, or riding a bike or a car left and right Ajani walks away from the building entrance to the right and continues down the street with a lot on his mind.

"I wonder why Palpatine hasn't contacted me yet...?" He thought to himself as he turned right into an alleyway. "Well it doesn't matter since I'm free for now, huh, freedom eh..." and from the alleyway into anoyher street with a park on the opposite side of the side walk.

"Brother, sometimes even now I wonder if your sacrifice was necessary seeing how this world turned out to be..." then he sighed as he got to the other side of the street and entered the gate to the park.

Moments later Ajani keeled over onto the ground and grasped his head as pain surged into it making it feel as if his head was about to slit open.

"X or should I say Ajani, did you think you could escape from my grasp so easily as to enter a different universe?"

"How the hell do you know about this universe Palpatine?" Ajani asked gasping from the pain, and a young mother and son passed by, the mother somewhat scared at seeing Ajani.

"Easy, did you forget all about that tracker in your neck?" Palpatine asked coldly. "Now why don't you return to my side Ajani, you still have unfinished business in this universe or should I have your cute little monster help me instead, hm?"

"Leave her out of this," Ajani thought as the pain increased. "Fine I got it, just let me say my goodbyes..."

After a moments pause Palpatine finally said "Good, then I'll allow it, just do hurry it up or I can't promise anything if you're late," and then pain stopped instantly the moment he finished his sentence.
__
Kelsie lay up, staring at the cieling. Mittelwerk had hurt or killed so many people. The Vik Institute was suspicously burned, killing the mathemetician who was suspicious of him. Hugh McIntyre and Darla Taft were ready to make a clean break and help Rachel alot more, but a car accident stopped them. It wasn't a car accident, but neither Kelsie nor Rachel could prove it. Darla knew she would be assisnated though, and left Rachel clues and documents. None for Kelsie though, because no one knew about Kelsie. DeZylva's probably dead, he helped Rachel escape from Sri Lanka. And then Mittelwerk had that building blow up... who knew who died there?

That doesn't count the indirect deaths too. She turned onto her stomach. The government bribes. The Spider Protocol which somehow had to kill 30% of the population or the world would be destroyed. "Namaste" that STUPID Hanso goodbye. He probably enforced it, the irony was he had no light in himself for people to find.

Rachel should be safe. Alavar was now on the alert, and Rachel knew what he could do, except when it came to nobodies. She should never tell her. It would just break the border some more. And she couldn't, not after all Shin-Ra did to mess it up.

"Riku. What's going on?"
-----
"RIKU!" It was a squeaky voice, the voice of one of his best friends.

"Hi Mickey." Mickey jumped up onto the tree branch on Destiny Islands.

"Ready to leave?"

"Yes and no." He looked toward the mainland. "What if something happens to my mom again? But I can't let that other universe go to waste.... what about closing the rift?"

"Talk to Cid about that." Was Mickey's response. there was laughter on teh beach as Donald, Sora, Goofy, and Kairi were playing in the water. "What about Kelsie. Why did you leave her at East High with Ziz?"

"She loves him." He sighed. "I might as well give up. At least for a bit."

"But she chose you, right?"

"only because Genesis was there. Ach, I hope we don't see him again."

"A rival?"

"Oh, No. Kelsie hates him. But trouble always around when he shows up."

"YOUR MAJESTY!" Ale ran up the beach. "I did something awful." He bowed, half out of respect, half out of breath.

"What did you do, my Soldier of the Flame?"

"Did'ya hear?" Goofy said. "Ale's a knight of His Majesty now."

"Congratulations, Ale." Riku said.

"Now you have a world too!" Roxas shouted.

"What's yours?" Sora asked his nobody.

"Twilight Town."

"Never mind the worlds." Ale said. "I just gave away some key info. I couldn't help myself. We need to find out about a guy named Mittelwerk."


__
"KELSIE!!!" Three girlish shrieks rung from air base. Kelsie ran to meet up with her three best non East High friends. Her best friend Yuffie and Kairi and Namine. The girls started hugging and chatting quickly. Sora looked out at the girls. They were so happy.

"Will we ever be that way again, Roxas?"

"Speak for yourself."

"You know that's not what I meant. I know you can't feel."

"Then don't bring up feelings."

"Roxas."

"It's going to be tough." Ziz walked up. He was dressed more like someone from East High and his hair and eyes were different. More Normal. "Kelsie had a bad nightmare before we left." Riku looked up

"She did?" Then he stopped talking and looked down. "I hope you took good care of her."

"Brad did more, actually."

"Take good care of her." Riku was subdued.

"What? "

"Well, she obviously chose you."

"No, she chose you."

Kairi laughed and Yuffie gave a knowing smile. "Wait until my Vincent hears about this."

"oh! How's the wedding coming!"

"Excellent, Kairi, thanks for asking."

"You guys ready to leave?" Zack Fair walked up, Cloud and Tifa behind him. Tifa was starting to show now, which meant Kairi, Namine, and Kelsie were estactic. But while Kairi and Namine ran up, Kelsie hung back.

"Something the matter, Kels?"

"I've got to see someone." She turned to head towards a fountain.

"Who, Kelse?" Donald quacked.

"Jack Sparrow."
-----
A short while later Kelsie ran into the Faithful Bride.

"What will Ye be having... Kelsie! IT's a pleasure to see ye again. Hot Chocolate?"

"Only if Jack's here, Arabella." Arabella, the owner and server of the Faithful Bride pointed towards a corner were a mumbling pirate had a large cup in front of him. A map was next to the cup. Arabella, in a high cut blue dress, pulled another mug behind the counter as a pirate stumbled up to the counter.

"Rum?"

"2 shillings."

"put it on my tab."

"I don't keep tabs. Pay now. Or don't drink." Cursing, the pirate started to draw his weapon.

"Oy! Don't go hurting the barmaid, mate. Trust me, you don't want to see her ticked. Hullo Mistress Nielson."

"Hi Jack." Jack Sparrow smiled, revealing bad breath and a bad set of teeth. Some were gold others were chipped.

"Now mate, either pay the lady or you might want to leave." The Pirate cursed again. "And you can't swear infront of the ladies. It insults them, see." there was a click as Arabella drew a pistol.

"Go." The pirate left. "That would have been his last drink anyways. Ever since Norrington destroyed my bar Ive kept the inebriated out.

"Misstress Nielson, would you delight me with a drink."

"I'll take the hot chocolate over." Kelsie sat down at the table, looking at the map with Jack.

"Where are you going Jack?"

"To find the remnants of Atlantis. Treasure, girl, beyond your wildest dreams, but it's only the tip. Only The Dutchman can get it all beneath the sea."

"Don't tempt fate, Jack. You've already died once and I doubt Will is for this plan of yours."

"I won't, luv." Jack examined his hat on the table. "But after what Elizabeth told me of Singapore, I'm surprised to see you back."

"I've got two guys fighting over me. And I don't know which to choose. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

"Which is better for the night?" Kelsie blushed such a deep shade of red.

"JACK!"

"Well, you have to think about that."

"I went to you because you're the only guy not related to me that would treat me as a lady and has some idea of the gravity of what I say!" Jack slugged back the rum.

"Arabella!" Arabella came over, with Kelsie's hot chocolate and some rum for Jack. But she didn't pour until he payed up. Kelsie drunk the hot chocolate slowly. "Whoever it is, he's not from where you're from, is he?"

"No. And he's slated to die. He's an elemental. The Air Elemental. Named Ziz."

"So, Tumen was right about there being others."

"Duh.."

"What?"

"Nevermind." Kelsie sighed. "This really isn't getting anywhere." Jack looked at her downcast face.

"Mistress Nielson, is there another reason?"

"I figured you had girls fight over you all the time, but I didn't realize your standards were so low." Jack chuckled.

"If I don't have any more use for you, let me escort you out." Kelsie looked up. "You're wearing pants for Christ's sake. Women don't wear pants." Kelsie looked down and saw she was wearing pants. She sighed and scooted the chair back. Jack got up, tucked the map in his over coat and helped her out.

A cat call rung out. Kelsie grabbed her head as she was temporarily flashing back to the Shin-Ra prison. Her eyes gleamed in anger as she reached for her knives. Jack's hand stopped her as she pulled herself out.

"What do you want!" He called out.

"Yer girl!" was the mean male's voice response. Kelsie unsheathed her sheffield.

"Come and get me." In a swift battle, Kelsie had managed to completely defeat the drunken pirate. Jack then let her finish her way.

"Good Luck, Kelsie." She stopped.

"I might come back."

"Go ahead, then." Kelsie nodded, then ran into the portal back to Radiant Gardens.

After that fateful conversation with Palpatine, Ajani got up and shrugged off after-shock of having his brain attacked from the Supreme Chancellor of another universe. He then started walking up to the fountain in the middle of the park. The fountain wasnt very big, about eight feet in diameter and six feet from the spout to the ground, but the thing that caught Ajani's eyes were not the water flowing out of the fountains top, but of a cube shaped object colored the same as the water keeping it concealed at the base of the pillar in the center of the fountain.

"Who new I'd find something like you here in this world," he said and snickered a little and hopped into the fountain. The water went up to his ankles, but he still got drenched from the water coming down from the top of the pillar. After snagging the cube, he bolted out of the fountain and walked toward a tree and used FLAME OF LIFE to dry his skin and clothes. "Now then I guess it's time to head back and say my goodbyes." Ajani said as he walked back to the apartment with a sad look on his face.

Back in the apartment, Ajani finished his goodbye to Meddy and waited for her response. Minutes passed in silence before Meddy finally answered.

"I understand." Shesaid depressed. "And here I thought we could spend a little more time together before we went back to that universe...." Tears started to flow from behind her shades.

"Sorry." Ajani saidand he walked up to her and kneele on one leg, reached into his right pocket, and withdrew a small black box and opened it revealing a silver ring with a small emerald and ruby on top of the ring and runes engraved on the inside of it. Seeing the ring Meddy gasped in surprise, Ajani asked "Will you marry me when we return here, to this world?"

"Y-ye-yes," was all Meddy was able to say and Ajani gently grabbed her right hand and slipped to ring onto her ring finger, then hugged her and she returned the gesture. They spent only a few minutes embracing each other, but to them, it felt like an eternity.

"Well then." Ajani said as they let go of each other. "Tell everyone I won't be able to return to the other universe with them as we had planned, but stay strong, alright?" They kissed, then he went towards the drawers and took out a capsule from the top drawer and started towards the door, as it closed, Meddy could be seen staring at the ring on her finger with a sad smile, tears still flowing from underneath her shades.

"So Ziz.... when do you think you're going pass on?" asked Sora looking at his ratty haired friend. He and the gang along with Ziz were taking a walk through the flower fields that surrounded the Radiant Garden, obviously the work of Aerith, as the rest of their friends had yet to arrive and Kelsie decided to visit Jack. "I keep hearing of you anticipating your death? I hope it isn't fun, it feels like it has been yesterday since you saved us there from those things...." Ziz merely frowned and stopped walking, he looked skyward to the sun.

"Sand People. You have no idea what it's like, being alive for 2,000 years after your entire set of loved ones were all killed. It's nothing all three of you had experienced.." Roxas merely rolled his eyes.

"I was forced againist my will to serve the Organization and I was escaping to Twilight Town until a certain silver haired jerk decided to attack me out of nowhere." said Roxas as he took a sip of a Coca Cola, obviously most likely a drink from the Tia Dolma's world. He turned to Riku. "Isn't that right Riku?" Riku sighed and continued walking. "That may be as hard as whatever you endured, but it was difficult."

"Hey, I got you to meet your original self." retorted Riku. Sora stepped down to the field of roses and picked out a bunch from the ground. "Be glad I did it, what do you think Sora? Wasn't I right in kidnapping Roxas right there before he would have been killed by the Organization." Sora scratched his head, trying to come up with an answer. Ziz interrupted, he had a cell phone in his hand which he placed back into his pocket.

Happy to know he interrupted for him, Sora continued to pick out flowers from Aerith's flower-filled fields.

"It looks like Ajani had decided to join the party without waiting for us." commented Ziz as he turned around, walking past Sora, Riku, and Roxas, walking back towards the city. "Kelsie needs to hurry up now. We can't be waiting for her even if she is speaking with Jack..." said Ziz coldly, no hint of emotion when he said Kelsie's name.

"Who was that who talked you on the phone?" asked Roxas, his arms crossed, wanting to get an answer from him. "What did he say about Ajani?"

"Yeah Zizzy, what did the dude say about Ajani?" Ziz looked back at his friends.

"It was apparently Zack on the line saying that SOLDIER detected an aircraft pass through the area to the Dimensional Rift right outside the planet. Obviously he and SOLDIER suspect it may well be Ajani and Meddy tagging along with him." answered Ziz. "He was just informing me so I can tell you. We have to get back."

"Right!" answered the guys in unison, well for the exception of Sora who was picking out flowers. "Let's move on out

Riku nodded at Roxas, a grin adorning both boy's faces. "How about we make this interesting, Roxxy? Just you and me since Zizzy being too emo to handle"

"Oh really Riku??" smirked Roxas eyeing at Riku. "Do tell me so..."

"We race from here to the main hangar in the middle of the city!" Riku immediately blasted off leaving Roxas in the dust. "Now!!!" Roxas reddened with anger, Riku laughed.

"That's not fair Riku!" The dirty blonde haired Nobody began to chase after Riku. "I'll swear in the Goddess's name I'll catch up to you!"

"Hm......" Eyeing the roses in Sora's hand, Ziz had to laugh at the spiky haired brunette wondering what were his intentions with the flowers. "So who's the flowers for?" Sora stood up, having picked up a large bunch of roses, and his face reddened. He was definetely hiding something from him, Ziz smiled.

"Ummmm...."

"It's for that girl you keep hanging around with all the time.... Kairi." Ziz fired back. Sora shook his head, too embrassed in finding out one more person had found about his secret crush for the redhead. "It's all good Sora, I know what you felt like once. As for the flowers, nice gesture but.......a real man at least from what I know doesn't need the aid of such cliche flowers to win a girl's heart. Just tell her you love her but alone in some romantic setting. After all, we do have a while before Miss. I'm a Tia Dolma, I'm so friggin' special decides to come back."

"Problems with Kelsie?" Sora asked, laughing nervously. "Huh Ziz? Things didn't work out like you planned back in her world." Ziz frowned and lightly pushed Sora into the ground.

"Why don't you just hush up and kiss up to your precious Kairi?" smirked Ziz as he left Sora alone, walking back to the city gates. He began to mock the spiky haired Keyblade wielder by making kissy noises. "OH I LOVE YOU KAIRI! MWAH MWAH! MWAH! You know what I think I'll be a good friend and tell her for you, it'll be quite funny!" Ziz ran to the gates, his image disappearing to the endless fields of flowers up ahead.

"Zizzy!!" bellowed Sora as he immediately stood back and ran after Ziz. "You won't dare tell Kairi about that!"
__
Riku raced up to the hanger to see Kelsie sitting there with a notebook out.

"I couldn't find you, so I decided to wait." She gave a grin and stowed the notebook in the leather pack by her side. It was a little bulkier now that her parents had given her a portable keyboard. Riku smiled, then frowned.

"Why did you see Jack?" She sighed.

"I still haven't chosen. So I went to Jack because he knows about Elementals and has been in similar situations on both ends."

"Elizabeth" Riku said. Kelsie nodded.

"She made a good Pirate King. But he gave me some" She blushed "REALLY off -color advice. But I may go back later for a different matter."

"What?"

"I think..."

"RIKU!!!" Roxas ran up out of breath. "That wasn't fair."

"Did either of you use powers?" Was Namine's answer, as she walked over. She was trying to select a colored pencil. Someone had given her a holster for her laser gun, providing an odd counterpoint to her sweet demeanor.

"No.." Was Roxas' embarresed response, but he then continued "...but Riku cheated by running before we said go!" Kelsie smacked Riku's neck, the highest she could reach. Ziz and Sora followed up now, Sora had some flowers in hand, but looked like he was going to shred them.

"I thought you would be longer."

"I needed some advice from Jack Sparrow. You've never met him. He's a pirate that we served under for a bit. And Barbossa too. Anyway, I wanted some help but he gave some bad advice."

Ziz looked curious, but said nothing.

"We ready to go?" the two chipmunks, Chip and Dale, showed up. Kelsie looked at Ziz. He had the most to lose by this decision.

"Ziz?"

Ziz had been busy trying to torment Sora by trying to find Kairi but to no avail. He recovered his breath and looked up to see everyone staring at him, apparently waiting for some kind of question. Ziz himself didn't know what was wrong, he scratched his head and looked at Kelsie.

"What did you say? I didn't hear what you said." answered Ziz as he wiped out the sweat from his head and hair and shook the sweat off. He then heard a large thud to the ground and looked down.

Everyone including the Chipmunks Chip and Dale and even the King Mickey Mouse fell into the ground anime style save for Kelsie who knew not of such customs, sweat-dropping. As far as she knew, she was confused as to why everyone did that.

"What did I say?" asked Ziz. "I sort of was busy having some with Sora. So was it that you said?"

"Are you ready to go or NOT!!!" bellowed Kelsie loudly at Ziz.

"Oh yeah....sure I guess we can go....." Ziz smiled, laughing nervously. "Let's get back to that universe and kick some sorry ass again!! Who's with me!"

"HELL YEAH!!" shouted Riku and Roxas, apparently excited to go back and attack some droids again like they did in their aid of the Jedi and the new clone forces in the battle of Geonosis.

Kairi immediately walked out of a nearby ice cream parlor in the Market Square and looked at everyone, a scoop of Sea Salt Ice Cream in her hand.

"So what did I miss guys?" The redhead asked

"Oh nothing really..." Ziz smiled, a malicious smile adorning his face. He immediately put his arm around Kairi and said. "Kairi, you should sooooo...hear about what Sora thinks of you.."

"NO!" Sora screamed as he was about to slam into Ziz, but stopped seconds before as he stared out of the hangar.

"What's wrong Sora?" Meddy asked, her hair in a pony tail, wearing her trademark shades, a black sleeveless shirt, baggy camouflage pants, and a pair of combat boots, a black glove on her left hand, and pirched on her back was her staff, as she walked up to Sora, Ziz, and Kairi. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I thought you left with Ajani?" Ziz asked perplexed.

"Oh, he had something to take care of so he left two weeks before us," Meddy said with a half smile. "So aren't we going yet?

"He's been there for 2 weeks?" Kairi asked, licking her icecream.

"That's odd." Sora said. Ziz nodded, why would his friend leave that early? "Why?"

"I can't say" Meddy responded, but it looked like she just didn't want to say.

"Your Majesty?" Ale bowed to the king. "It's your ship." Donald and Goofy looked at the king too.

"Any complaints Zack?" Zack shook his head.

"No, your majesty. If you want to go, go right ahead."

"Do you still have those disks, Zack?" Riku asked. Ale reached into his pocket and pulled out a flat octangular disk. Zack pulled one out too.

"Cid's been working on making more."

"Can you let us know who that was who left then?" Zack nodded. Kelsie faced palmed.

"SHAWN!" Shawn Spencer, the fake psychic and Bireh Vero appeared out of his grass portal.

"Yeah, Kels."

"Shawn, keep an eye on here while I'm gone,alright?" Shawn frowned.

"Am I a proxy or what? I can't do anything if you get the dreams..." Zack handed him a disk.

"I can contact you through that. Er, Cid better get us some more." Shawn fiddled with it, taking in details form around as a SOLDIER ran to get some more of hte inter dimensional walkie talkies. Eventually he returned and the crew each got one. Shawn looked out.

"As they say, Bon Voyage." He grinned at Kelsie. "And don't be a petrified turtle."

Ziz shook Shawn's hand.

"Nice knowing you.'

"You're not going to..." only to see everyone nodding. "Is the cycle up already?"

"No." Ziz said. Riku frowned. Cycle? "I just belong to a very old one. If you want, you can teach my replacement. Launchpad. He lives in St. Canard. He needs to know before he recieves the power."

"Come on," Namine said, looking up. "Enough about death. Aren't goodbye's supposed to be happy?" Sora nodded,thankful for a distraction. Meddy sighed, and walked towards the hanger.
__
"Luck was on your side today Sora." Ziz said, looking back at the Radiant Garden skyline from the view he had on the Gummi Ship. "Lucky lucky you."

"Just be glad I didn't kick your butt right there on the spot." Sora said as he took a small bite of the ice cream that Kairi had given her, Ziz merely laughed. "What's so funny?"

"Still can't believe your reaction whenever Kairi is mentioned." Ziz responded continuing to glance at the fading image of the world of Radiant Garden as their Gummi Ship headed closer to the rift. "People do crazy things when they're in love.."

"Oh really?" Sora said with a inquisitive smile on his face, Ziz glanced at Sora and turned back. "Tell me one thing that you did for someone you liked."

"Yes Ziz, enlighten us." Roxas entered through a corridor of darkness sitting on a wooden box right next to Sora, eating a popsicle of Sea Salt ice cream. Ziz glanced at both Roxas and Sora, eating their ice creams, and his stomach grumbled loudly. "Only if you pass me some of that ice cream of yours. I swear I haven't ate since leaving Kels's world, I ate the crap they serve there. I mean hamburgers and pizza, food. Don't think so."

"Hell no. Go jump out and get your own." grumbled Roxas angrily as he continued to devour the ice cream, sucking it so profusely. He then looked at Sora. "What?"

"Give him the ice cream, he looks like he's gonna pass out." said Sora. "Come on, look deep down on the bottom of your heart." Roxas shook his head.

"I have no heart."

"Roxas...."

Sora glared at him and threatened to open Roxas's pants and throw his ice cream there. "Oh fine then! Here you go Ziz! I don't want my butt being icy!" He threw the ice cream at Ziz who caught it easily, obviously practicing baseball as a catcher with the guys back in East High paid off.

"Thanks." chirped Ziz as he ate the ice cream in one bite and letting out a burp. "You just don't want poor Nami's little hands to freeze when touching that butt of yours. Huh?"

"Just tell us what you were going to tell us!" shouted Roxas angrily. "Or else I'll use my Keyblades and slice your gut to get that ice cream back." Ziz sighed while Sora was laughing a bit at his Nobody's threat at the Keyblade Lord.

"Fine it all happened when back then....." It was then and there when something attacked the ship throwing Roxas and Sora to the wall. "Huh? What was that that hit the ship just now?"

"ove I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for out survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes"


Kelsie had her piano out and was playing.

"It didn't go well, did it?" Kairi asked, sitting down on the bench next to her. "Ziz and Riku just seem down. Ziz would be down anyway. Can you imagine knowing your going to die soon."

"I will" Kairi looked down.

"Sorry.'

"It's alright. You have to pay the immortality back somehow." Kelsie's hands fell lightly on the keys. "But I chose and didn't chose. There was this dance. And after Genesis showed up, I picked Riku as my date. And it was unsaid, but my date would be my boyfriend. You're lucky. You really only have Sora chasing you."

"What?"

"Nothing. ANYWAY, um. Ziz and I made out." she said that last bit fast. Kairi looked at her.

"So you kind of chose both."

"Riku doesn't know. But, I can't really be with either. Not until Ziz dies. And even then... that night is lightened and tainted by that time with Ziz." Her disk went off.

"Come in Kelsie."

"I'm here Zack, what is it?"

"We got an image of the gummiship. It has an odd yin-yang symbol on the tail." Kairi jumped back as Kelsie yelled "MITTELWERK!!!!!!!!"

"Proceed with giving you some back-up." asked Zack through the communicator. "You haven't reached the rift and we can easily blast that dude right now with the Cannon set up in Radiant Garden."

"No need, we'll handle this one on our own." Kelsie said. "Kelsie signing off." Kelsie turned off the communicator as a dark shadowy silohouette of a figure appeared right in front of her. "Show yourself Mittelwerk!"

Kairi pulled out her Keyblade while Namine had a blaster pistol aimed for the shadowy figure.

"I have your back Kelsie."

"As do I."
__
In the other universe, Ajani stood in a large room listening to the sounds of laser blasts and explosions from outside the ship he was on, wearing a black and white mask that covered his entire head, a dark silver armored vest with a black cape, white baggy pants, a pair of black boots, and a black glove on his right hand.

"What is wrong, Ajani?" The Chancellor as he walked over to Ajani. "Not used to space battles yet?"

"... Yeah, I'm just not used to just standing around doing nothing is all." He said and sighed. "I'd better leave before those two show up and see what you're really doing..."

"I suppose so, but that's what the droids are here for." Palpatine said, moments later the alarm sounded off throughout the ship. "Oh, they're here, I'll see you back at Coruscant then Ajani. Make sure no one spots you"

"Sure, I shall await your return then, my lord." Turning on his heels, Ajani went towards the doors and left.

"Now then, let's put up a show for them, Dooku."
__
Kelsie grinned.

"Good, cause you won't hear anything else."

Music poured from her body, muting the surroundings as she ran through the song list from her play "Twinkle Towne" Mittelkwer scowled and one of his hands glowed green as he pulled a gun out with the other. Kelsie charged, her knives out while the other two girls followed. Kelsie had given up her ability to manipulate water to keep Mittelwerk from manipulating them...
-----
Riku, suspicious of what was going on between Kelsie and Ziz, stopped thinking as he heard "What I've been looking for." That had no corresponding attack as far as he knew. HE summoned Way To The Dawn as the residents of Disney Castle stopped talking. Riku started running towards Kelsie's chambers, and burst through the door. That must be Mittelwerk. He looked frustrated and severe as he tried to shoot Kairi. Kelsie chopped off the shooting end of his gun, though, with her laser weapons. Mittelwerk put one hand over her face while shouting something in her ear. The music stopped and she slumped to the floor.

"HOW DARE YOU HURT HER!" Riku shouted as Ziz, Sora, and Roxas ran in, the Disney Castle gang not far behind, Ale's chakram's already out.

"Oh, I'm still working on that." Was Mittellwerk's dry response. "Ale, great to see you."

"Shut up, Nobody."

"Who made you a Somebody?"

"Calypso." Ale responded automatically. Mittelwerk didn't say anything. What were they doing?

"CHARGE" Sora shouted and ran forward, his Island keyblade, Shattered Wreakage, hitting Mittelwerk. Everyone else charged too, except Riku who pulled Kelsie off to the side.

"FREEZE!" It was Mittelwerk, everyone instantly stopped moving. A Sharp sound rung out through the room, Kelsie's freezing note. Mittellwerk cursed, and left before he was completely frozen. As soon as he left they could start moving again.

"Who was that?" Kairi demanded.

"Don't look at me, I have no idea." commented Roxas as he fell down to the ground from the fatigue he recieved from the icy attack Mittelwerk had used. "But that was some creep."

"Ditto." Sora said, Namine and Kairi nodded. He turned to help pick up Kairi who was laid on the floor and had a small bloody cut on her arm. "Kairi, are you okay?" Ziz, Ale and Riku merely chuckled.

"Yes...yes I'm fine Sora." Kairi said letting go of Sora and standing up on her own. "But that was certainly.....surprising."

Kelsie sighed. "He is like that at times, always attacking when we are at our weakest. I can't believe he's still following you."

"Just who exactly was following you? He's certainly doesn't have the scent of Ansem or Xemnas..." spoke King Mickey entering into the conversation. "He was like no being I have ever encountered in my time traveling through the worlds of the Realm of Darkness. I can be sure he's no Heartless." Riku and the rest of the guys nodded in agreement.

"His scent doesn't reek of darkness like Ansem, maybe he's a Nobody." spoke the silver haired teen. "He did use some powers associated with the Void much like Xemnas although a much different form and much more vicious."

"Hard to imagine anyone being colder than Xemnas." commented Roxas as he withdrew his Oblivion and Oathskeeper Keyblades. "Although he does reek of the void."

"It's because he is a Nobody." Ale said as he himself withdrew his twin set of chakrams. "I should know."

"How do you know?" asked everyone.

"I met him. His Names..."

"Thomas Werner Mittelwerk. Ex-President of The Hanso Foundation. Fugitive from the law for various lawkeeping issues and crimes against humanity. He took over the Foundation after forcing Alavar Hanso out." Everyone looked at Kelsie. How did she know this?

"Well, while you were doing whatever you were doing after Port Royal I was busy fighting him and Calypso. He's a nobody. I don't know how he lost his heart, but it doesn't suprise me that he lost it. Anyway. In the battle with him, I accepted my destiny as Tia Dolma and we drew to a stalemate. I couldn't kill him, and he couldn't kill me for a different reason. He left, swore vengeance, set up explosives in the Hanso Foundation's building to kill the police who came to arrest him. Then was never heard from again. I'll have to tell Shawn to keep an eye on Rachel. Oh, she brought him down on the crimes against humanity and book keeping stuff. Anyway, he can make people do or say whatever he wants. That's how he got alot of contracts, people killed, etc. and he can poison people with those spores from his hands. Shawn's immune to the spores thogh, because Spores are under his domain so they don't hurt him." She rattled all this off while everyone looked at her.

"What does he want?"

"Revenge, I assume. I helped take him down. So, yeah. No one cares about a little composer from East High, but Rachel's Alavar daughter, her disappearance would attract attention."

"You were busy." Riku said. She gave a sarcastic smile. Mickey looked out.

"If he's following us,that's going to be trouble." Sora nodded.

"How do you block him?" She had kept him off fairly well. Sora thought.

"keep yourself from hearing and don't breathe."

"You really aren't as perky as you once were." Kairi responded. Kelsie shrugged.

"I'm not really apart of East High anymore." S he looked down, almost crying. "I stopped singing, and dancing." Those who had traveled the worlds knew what this meant. East High now reagarded her as a visitor than a resident. Namine and Kairi gave her hugs.

"I'm Sorry." Sora said. "But we still need to figure out how to beat him. If he can make us do whatever..."

"Which is why he's trouble." Ale said. Donald and Goofy nodded. "I hate to think if he knew Zexion... he could disguise himself as any of us..." Mickey shuddered. Kelsie pulled out her disk to contact Shawn.

"Riku, can I talk to you?" Ziz asked.

About what?" Riku responded semi-suspiciously, stealing a glance at Kelsie's curvy body, obviously frustrated of being interuppted by Ziz out of all people. "What do you want?"

"I need to talk to you about Kelsie...alone. It's very serious and I think the both of us, being the people who care about her the most, need to discuss.." Ziz said to Riku whilst walking towards the cabin room, opening it. "Ladies first, Riku."

"Very funny Zizzy." Riku said sacrastically as he walked to the cabin. "Hey it's pretty dark in here. Aren't you coming........ WAIT! HEY!! YOU..."

Ziz immediately kicked the steel door closing it on the silver haired teen and locked the hatch with the help of his Keyblade magically making it impossible for Riku to get out of the room and kill him.

"More idiotic than I thought..." Ziz smirked and walked towards Kelsie, confident that nothing, not even her so-called boyfriend Riku can interfere with his last shot of love before he is destined to die. He saw Kelsie returning to her piano and he placed a hand in her shoulder getting her attention. "Hey."

"Hey yourself, Ziz." Kelsie said, smiling at Ziz's presence. He wasn't sure why she was smiling, but he knew if she was smiling at him, it had to be something good. Right. "So Ziz, what were you talking about with Sora and Roxas back there in the storage cabins. I sort of overheard some of it right before Mittelwerk decided to pop in out of nowhere. You do crazy things when your in love? Am I right?" Ziz reddened.

"Yeah....you heard.." So she did overhear that little phrase of his which he said to Sora back there. But how much exactly did she here was the issue. "People do crazy people for the one they..." He looked into her eyes as she stared onto his eyes. Both of them were blushing since everyone else had returned to their chamber, wanting to rest since the trip to the Rift would be long.

"Love...." Kelsie quickly finished. She closed her eyes as he closed his eyes and reached in.
-----
"You think all of them will make it out in one piece, Seph?" Zack asked the silver swordsman as they watched from the castle postern Cloud and Squall training the new SOLDIER trainees. "I have a bad feeling about this.." The sky soon darkened; thunder roaring loudly to their right.

It was going to rain.

"I hope they're alright." Sephiroth nodded.

"As do I, Zack. Those kids along with King Mickey are good people; I can ony wish their mission goes well. I mean at least they will be leaving to that other universe with state of the art Shin-Ra technology. Hopefully, it will be more than enough for whatever faces them on the other side.

"Isn't there anything more we could had done? Couldn't we had come along with them?" Zack asked.

"No....they are doing their job so that we as SOLDIER may do our job." Sephiroth answered. "Radiant Garden as well as thousands of worlds in the Realm of Light I sense coming into danger soon. Those brainwashed clones under Xemnas who had liberated Genesis taught us that we must be more viligant than ever. We must guard the Rift in case anything else from that other realm discovers it."

"Right..."

"It's raining heavily. Let's head back inside."
__
"Master Obi-Wan Kenobi" Master Yoda looked up from his futon like chair were he meditated.

"You called, Master Yoda?" Obi Wan Kenobi was wise in the ways of the force, and a man of peace but who did know how to fight. Even if he didn't like it. He gave a bow, his brown hair falling over his face.

"Trouble, there is." Yoda spoke. The ancient master still had many tricks in him. He had shown this recently by completely defeating Count Dooku in a few minutes where Anakin, Obi Wan's apprentice, and Obi Wan himself failed. "Here again, Count Dooku is. Captured, he did, Chancellor Palpatine."

"You want me and Anakin to rescue him? Any troops?"

"No. Jedi now you are. Not General." Obi Wan nodded. "Obi Wan, trouble ahead there is. Watch out for your apprentice you must." Obi Wan turned around.

"You sense it too. I was afraid it was just my mind playing tricks on me." Yoda nodded.

"Those with much power, look out for themselves they must. Or risk losing it all they will." Obi Wan left the room, his directives clear.
-----
"Gus, what do you know about the Hanso Foundation?" Gus looked up.

"A good company. Ran into some trouble about a year ago when it was found out a board member named Mittelwek hijacked it. Devoted mostly to helping people. Primarily non-profit. Why?"

"How would you like to visit Alavar's daughter?" Gus knew then this would be another crazy adventure.

"Why can't we just stick with Chief Vick's cases. Like that diamond theft."

"Because it's the jewler's soon. And they're not as much fun." Gus looked frantically through the case file.

"He's a amateur locksmith and his alibi is his Alzeheimer ridden grandfather." Gus shrugged and gave up.

"Let's go."
-----
Mittelwerk hid in the bowels of the ship. They were smart. Very smart. How long before they sensed his precense? Hopefully not before they got to this dimension. Making copies were very useful. Now, while everyone expected him going after Rachel, he know was heading to the other dimension to stop their mission.
-----
Launchpad McQuack was a airplane pilot. He was also not that smart. But what he lacked in brains he made up in the strength of his heart and his muscles. Currently he was repairing the airplane Thunderquack after Megavolt destroyed the on board hard drive.

"Do you think we'll see Ziz again?" It was Gosalyn, DW's adopted daughter and troublemaker.

"Maybe, Gos, but he seemed sad about something."

"Can you imagine that power though.... not even Morgana has that much." Gosalyn whistled in awe.

"Yeah, well, his wind also broke the Thunder Quack's wing. I just now fixed it. When's DW coming back?"

"As soon as he finishes his ego patrol..." Gosalyn muttered.

If there was one flaw with her dad, it was his huge ego.
-----
Ziz got closer and closer as Kelsie's mind raged war with her two halves. THe Ziz have was busy arguing before while the Riku side argued against. As the two went at it, Ziz's lips brushed her own. And she gave up. As she kissed him, though, it felt off. She wasn't feeling it because she wasn't devoting herself to it. Ziz reached down around her back... lower....

"Please stop." She whispered.

Ziz, was astonished, but still backed off.

"I'm sorry." He wasn't.

Kelsie knew that.

But she sat down on her paino stool, her hands in her hair.

"Why must I choose." She half sobbed.

"It means you have a heart." Ziz responded, putting his arms around her. She buried her head in his chest. Ziz ran his hands through her hair, and realized something. Her hair was turning silver.

"Jealousy. She's jealous a bit of both of us. Ansem never really left her. I have to be careful. I'm not going to lose her like I did Stasia."

Kelsie pulled herself together.

"I can not be the first person you liked. Who else has there been?"
-----
Meddy looked at her ring.

"Where are you, Ajani? I love you." The Gorgon rested her head in her hands. "Please be safe."
-----
"Mater Kenobi!" Ajani ran up to the space hanger. "Let me come with you." Obi Wan looked at Palpatine's mercenary. The man named Ajani whose past was veiled in mystery. But his loyalty to people could not be doubted.

And his loyalty to the light, despite him being stained by the Dark Side. Obi Wan nodded.

"Come in Ajani."
__
Riku as much as he was a master of the usage of darkness, he loathed it so. He hated any form of darkness that he was in contact if it be Ansem or a regular puny Shadow Heartless. The silver haired teen reddened with anger as he tried to bust down the steel door with his muscular self. He tried to slam it again yet to avail, the door remained undamaged. Riku fell down on his knees and mutteredangrily as his blood-shot eyes stared down at the floor, his tears forming a puddle..

"Looks like you win for now Ziz.....but I'll get out once we arrive at Coruscant." Riku laid his body on the floor and took a small blanket, wrapping it around himself. "But first, I need to sleep. This and the daydreams I have been getting are just killing me.." His eyes closed and he didn't even notice the dark shadowy essence of Mittelwerk entering into his body.

"Sleep well Riku, your revenge will happen........"
__
The talk had moved into the kitchen. It was going to be a while and Kelsie wanted to cook. Being homesick, though she knew it was no longer her home, she was making her mom's Russian recipes. She was busy making a meat pastry called Makaronnik z Myasom. As the smell wafted around the room, Ziz looked down. This took him back so much...

"Ziz." Kelsie looked at him, staring at the ground. "ZIZ." He jerked up.

"Sorry, just thinking. Death kind of has that effect. I've seen it so much, but..." Kelsie set the timer on the oven and sat next to him. She then gave him a hug. He stroked her cheek.

"If Stasia had survived, where would I be now? I don't feel that guilty, she's dead, but all the same. If it had worked out and I had died when I was 50 or so instead of 2000/16."

They just sat there as the food heated up.
-----
"DRAT!"

Rachel Blake stared at the source code on her computer screen. It was the only page on The Hanso Foundation website right now. It was fine, until you clicked on the word humanity. Then a taunting video from Mittelwerk came up. After her breaking all of his codes, it was insulting and humiliating that after a year she couldn't break this one. Had he been playing her that entire time?

"Miss Blake, two visitors for you." Shawn and Gus walked in. However Rachel did not recognize them.

"Hi, I'm Shawn Spencer head psychic for the Santa Barbra Police Department. And this is my partner, Gus 'pineapple lover' Gringo. " Gus held back a strong desire to hit Shawn. Rachel looked up. SHe had brunette hair to below her shoulder blades with a bit of a wave. She also had pure blue eyes. she held a slender hand out to shake the two hands.

"I'm Rachel Blake. can I help you?" She gave them some seven up.

"What, no Sprite?"

"it might have psychotropic drugs in them, Mel led me to that info."

"Mel?"

"Mel0drama. I did alot of my work online."

"And you buy into these conspiracy theories."

"There were true about Mittelwerk. Except that one about him getting all of his blood replaced..."

"Beg your pardon?" Shawn asked. Gus whistled. He was a pharmaceitical salesman and new a bit about medical procedures. Shawn was just busy with the blood/heart/nobody connection.

"Just ignore it. What can I do for you?"

"It's what we can do for you.... You remember Kelsie Nielson?"

"Yes..." Rachel asked, every sense aware.

"Well, she wanted us to keep an eye on you. She thinks Mittelwerk may be after you again." Rachel frowned.

"Alright, but you have to help me..."
-----
Riku started gasping in his dream. Ziz and Kelsie were passionately making out and two evil angels stood on his shoulders.

"Murder them." Ansem, Xehanort's Heartless, whispered. "Your mate is cheating on you..."

"Poison would be good..." Mittelwerk whispered too. Riku felt himself, slipping away.

"No." Was his response
-----
Ale flicked a switch on his device.

"Reno?" He asked. Hoping..

"Yeah, little brother. How are you." Ale's face lit up.

"Busy." And the two brothers talked for the first time in years.
-----
Kairi and Sora were arguing.

"You know very well how far people will go for love." Kairi was saying. "You gave yourself over to the darkness to save me."

"Yeah, but that was guaranteed. I'm just saying that why would go to darknes if it was going to hurt someone you love." The argument grew heated. The Nobodies got kind of mad.

"JUST KISS HER/HIM" Each Nobody yelled to their Somebodies.

They stopped arguing and blushed.

Sora and Kairi stopped their agruement and were shocked at the forwardness of their Nobodies in their want for their Somebodies to kiss each other. They looked into each other's eyes and blushed, laughing nervously looking away from each other. Not wanting the other to see how much they were blushing.

"Kairi...."

"Yeah Sora?" said Kairi looking at Sora's face, she was hurt when he wasn't looking at her. "Sora..."

"I'm sorry...." Sora apologized, walking away from Kairi. "I'll leave you alone since you probably don't want to talk to me anymore...I'll tell the guys to drop me off at the Destiny Islands..." He suddenly felt a squeeze in his face and noticed Kairi was hugging him. "Huh?"

"I don't want you to leave me anymore, I want you to stay with me....I think I love you."

Ziz daydreaming once again, it was probably the smell of Kelsie's horrible cooking, combined with the thoughts of Kelsie and his first love Stasia. He soon had a flashback of him and Leviathan once again.
-----
"So where are we heading to?" Ziz summoned his Keyblade, eyeing at his friend and fellow warrior Leviathan who was putting on his battle armor readying himself for the mission ahead. The rays of the sun were shining down on the two. "I'm tired of training exercises in the Vale, I want to kill some things!" Leviathan rolled his eyes as he threw his red cape over his armor.

"Compulse yourself Ziz, the mission we are being assigned to is very action-packed from what I heard. And it involves protecting a Princess from being kidnapped by some nomadic barbarian people called the Mongols or something....." Leviathan said as he cracked the knuckles in his fists. Ziz sighed of boredom.

"How cliche? Where exactly will the mission take place?"

"I hear we are heading to some foreign land called Russia." Leviathan responded. "From what I heard of the country, it's pretty frigid out so we'll need to be warm in our heavy knightly armor and be accustomed to withstand the cold."

"Isn't that like in Earth? We haven't been there before." said Ziz as he looked outside through the window to have a view of the city of Radiant Garden below. "Who's going to guide us?"

"One of our attendants named Stasia I believe has volunteered to serve as a Guide in the mission in this foreign world." responded Leviathan as he prepared and cleaned up his bed. "I believe she is herself was born and raised in Russia as well so she will be an important asset to us. She is suspected to be one pure of heart."

"You don't certainly mean that she may be..."

"Yes. A Princess of Heart of the Seven. Power of which to save...or destroy the worlds."
__
Kelsie rested her head on Ziz's broad muscular chest. She heard his heart in his cheset. She closed her eyes.

"Are you Jealous?" Ansem. She hyperventilated a little, feeling again his hot breath, his cold probing hands...

"Kelsie?"

"Where's Riku?" SHe demanded. Ziz look flustered.

"Um..."

"Did you capture him?" Ziz sighed.

"Yes."

"THEN WHERE THE HECK IS HE?!?!" Ziz led the way to the door, and unlocked it. As he stepped back, he saw Kelsie's hair streaking with grey. Like when Ansem possessed her. Ansem?

"Oh shit."

Kelsi was shaking Riku's body. "Wake up. Wake up. Riku. Riku, wake up." With a roar and a gasp like breathing after drowning Riku sat up. His eyes turned yellow for a bit, before looking into hers... yellow too.

"Kelsie, what?" Then he saw Ziz.

"YOU ANIMAL!!!" He charged and stopped as Kelsie stood between them.

"What in the worlds are you talking about?"

"Ziz, he, didn't he, um. It's not exactly East High-ish. More like Port Royal." Kelsie suddenly realized what he was saying.

"you thought.... MEN! For goodness sakes. How in the worlds..." The timer went off. Kelsie ran back as the two keyblade masters and rivals looked at eachother.

In her quarters, Meddy lays on her bed. Unaffected by the sudden turbulence the ship was experiencing, she stared off at the window. Her glasses were on the pink, fluffy pillow next to her.

"I am so bored." She flopped onto her stomach and started looking at her ring. "Ajani, you're such an idiot...I can just.."
-----
Then she had a flashback of the time when she lived in the ancient Greek island of Rhodes serving as a priestess of the Goddess Athena. Wearing a toga, she stood in a great hall with a statue of Athena being worshipped by a few travelers on their way to Athens.

"Priestess, here is an offering for the Goddess Athena as thanks for giving us safe passage in our trip across the mighty Aegean Sea." One of the travelers said as he kneeled down to the ground. "Good-bye, Priestess." He gave her a bag filled with golden Persian coins and ran off to rejoin the rest of his friends in the group.

"Thank you. Athena shall gladly be pleased with this offering." Meddy smiled as she waved her empty hand good-bye at the exiting visitors. "Now then, to take this to the temple treasury." She turned her head around to the corridor of darkness behind her. "Ajani, can you please help me take this. I'm far too filled with fatigue greeting visitors all day to carry more gold. I know you're there..."

"So how is everthing going for you today, Meddy?"

"It's the same as usual. Although, I can't seem to understand why the Spartan king would assign you, out of all people, to guard a quaint little shrine." Meddy commented with an annoyed look on her face and stepped back. "I mean...our land is in the brink of war with the thousand nations under the rule of the mighty Prince of Persia. Shouldn't you be with your unit preparing to be mobilized back in your city-state?"

"'I'm not so sure myself on the reasons why I was sent here to Rhodes. Perhaps it is because we've known each other since we were just children back in the island of Patmos. Or maybe is that my brother Leonidas thought that staying here with do me some good in trying to get me out of my depression." Ajani said returning to the corridor of darkness as Meddy advanced to greet another group of travelers. While surrounded by the darkness, he spoke to himself. "Or because my brother knew of my feelings towards you, Meddy." He opened another corridor of darkness to the vault and placed the bag there. "If only she knew."
-----
Back in her quarters, Meddy came out of her reverie.

"You were never that talented in hiding your feelings from me, now that I think about it." She chuckled a bit and went to sleep smiling.
__
Still being affected by the smoke caused by Kelsie's cooking, Ziz Nightingale fell asleep by its affect and stared at Kelsie. Her curves swinging by him causing his male brain to go bonkers. Yet he wasn't thinking about Kelsie but of Stasia or titled by her male counterparts, The Angry Russian...well swear word for female dog.
-----
A flashback occured in his mind, one that occured way back in his past when he was traveling through the snow-filled Russian steppes on mission with Leviathan, Behemoth and their guide Stasia. His companions had went on ahead riding on their Chocobos to check if there was a town nearby to provide some temporary shelter for the night. It was certainly dark out and it was shivering as the Pits of Tartarus. Stasia shivered and stole a glance of Ziz without him noticing, immediately blushing.

"This Russian winter was colder than I had remembered." Stasia shivered, her cheeks were bright red. "Things had changed since I've been a little girl." She stepped off the Chocobo and tried to view the land, although her vision was blocked by the snow.

"It is pretty cold...." Ziz stepped out of his Chocobo and threw his arms around her waist and kept her body close to his. It would be no surprise that Stasia blushed a bright pinkish red with considering how close their bodies were to each other. "..so we'll snuggle to keep each other warm."

"Are you doing it because you want to be warm or because of some other reason?" Stasia asked. "Don't play me like a fool, I am not like the other girls you have met so stop trying to flirt with me! Okay?" Ziz rolled his eyes, knowing that the Russian guide was lying to herself.

She was in denial.

He knew it.

"Sure Stasia......you obviously can handle yourself alone in the winter where some Tartar can kidnap you and violate your purity. Go ahead and stay for all I like care, I'll be busy back in the town we left before a couple hours ago to get me so grub." said the Keyblade apprentice sarcastically. Ziz's wings plopped open and he flew away into the night more or less leaving Stasia all on her own.

"ZIZ!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" Stasia shouted as she tried to chase after him. "YOU BASTARD! STAY HERE AND PROTECT YOUR ME!"

"Gotta tag me!" Ziz chuckled as he flew off. "Hahaha!"
__
"Are you all right, Riku?" Donald quacked.

"It's all my fault..." He kept repeating himself in a drone-like tone.

"Gawrsh Riku, what's your fault?"

"The presence of darkness......Ansem....Xehanort's Heartless is returning to afflict us. Kelsie...new host body for him. And I contemplated erasing Ziz in cold blood."

"Why is that?" Mickey asked, plopping down next to his best Human friend. Riku reluctantly whispered it to Mickey's ears. The mouse King's cheeks immediately turned a bright shade of scarlet red. "Oh....umm. I can see why you contemplate on such a thing."

"Riku, are you well?" Namine and Kairi stood in front of him. Kairi kneeled down and smiled at Riku. "If it's something relating to Kelsie, just talk to her. If you're worried over losing her to Ziz, then you're not helping yourself by hanging around her." Namine nodded in agreement, drawing a picture of Riku and Ziz holding Kelsie's hands in her journal.

"You're right." Riku stood up.

"Plus it's not like you have to deal with Ziz forever." Roxas had shown up through a corridor of darkness. "He is destined to die, according to what Kelsie's premonitions told us, by the end of next month."

"Now that's jacked up Roxas." Ale joined in, appearing to be in a better mood now. "Did I miss anything good?"

"So you do have a heart!" Roxas retorted as Riku knelt down to Mickey.

"You can tell him." Mickey nodded and sighed.

"Why is this romance thing harder to unravel than the plan of Xehanort's?"
-----
Ajani sat in the ship with R2-D2 , Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. He wore his Gorgon appearnce now, he always would, but he ignored it as he looked out at the stars. Where was his employer? Whatever was going on, it wasn't good. And he was growing suspicious of Palpatine. He had been having alot of secret meetings. And he seemed to hate the Jedi for some reason. Something was wrong here...
-----
Kelsie put the pastry on the tabletop to cool. It was a little burnt, but not too bad.

"Ziz still had this far off look. What's he thinking about? Probably not East High. He hated there. Come to think of it, I did too. Maybe that's why I'm not apart of there anymore."

She heard footsteps as Riku came in.

"Oh, good." he said. "You're eyes aren't yellow anymore."

-----
"Here are the files of Mittelwerk." Rachel handed Shawn and Gus a huge stack of papers. "One thing to note is that he is a polygot."

"And that means?"

"She's saying he can speak many languages."

"Like Kelsie?"

"No, Shawn. Kelsie's bilingual. She can only speak Russian and English."

"He also listed himself as a doctor, but I never dug up where it was from. No med school I could find having him on their records. He just appeared out of nowhere it seemed. And somehow, convinced people with the pretense of having status."

"Yeah. It sounds like something he would do." Shawn said as Gus was looking over the papers handed to him.

"Who's this Hugh McIntyre?"

"Head of PR; he was having an affair with an employeee of the Global Consortium. She convinced him to go to the authorities. She loved him."

"Why the past tense?"

"They're dead. Darla asked me to meet her, but on their way they had a 'car accident'." Hatred filled her voice. "She left a message just in case and let me know about the Helgius Antionius and Sri Lanka. She managed to smuggle me passports so I could tape Mittelwerk's final plan."

"Alright. But why is Mittelwerk listed as a reference?" Shawn asked, peering over Gus' shoulder.

"Because...somehow Mittelwerk cured his cancer. I do not know how. But I got him admitting he did it on tape." Shawn nodded. This had all matched up with the powers associated with Mittelwerk, at least the Nobody remnants of him. But it had been a while.

Were they on a wild goose chase?
__
"I'll head out first." Ajani spoke as he got up from the seat startling both Obi-Wan and Anakin. "If that's alright with you, Jedi Knight Skywalker and Master Kenobi."

"If that is what you wish, Ajani." Obi-Wan said, his tone a bit worrisome. "Me and Anakin will not get in your way."

"Just don't forget about our plan." Anakin said as he turned his head back towards the holographic projection of the battlefield with Obi-Wan. "No screw-ups. Is that understood Ajani?"

"Don't worry about me screwing up this operation. Make sure you especially do not screw up the rescue of Chancellor Palpatine." Ajani shot back, smirking at Anakin earning a chuckle from Obi-Wan. "It is time for me to head out. May the Force be with You, Jedi." He turned around and picked up his weapon heading for the hatch doors.

"May the Force be with you, Ajani." Obi-Wan waved his hand and smiled as he saw him go off.

"Not a very social person I see." Anakin commented as he watched the hatch doors close behind the Spartan warrior. "Something about him strikes me with a bit of suspicion. I can feel a dark aura being emitted from him."

"Well my former Padawan, I would not want to get on his bad side." Obi-Wan chimed in. "I can assure you that the man we spoke to was not the Ajani we had fought alongside with in the open, desert plains of Geonosis. I can feel him being tainted with the presence of the Dark Side of the Force."

"Sith Lord?"

"No.....it's too weak to be that of the Sith Lord we're looking for.."
__
In the ship hangar of the Republic warship, Ajani stood in front of the state of the art Corellian stealth cruiser that Chancellor Palpatine had bought him with some earmaking of ten million Republic credits from the Treasury. It wouldn't be a surprise that some in the Galactic Senate, such as key figures Senator Amidala and Organa were opposed to the measure since it was considered illegal in the Galactic Constituation. Nevertheless, Palpatine had made it legal on the grounds that the Republic Intelligence had discovered a Separtist fleet from Cato Nemoidia attempting to attack Naboo and needed funds for extra defenses in the planet.

No surprise that using the war as his excuse, the opposition was quickly silenced and Palpatine was allowed to earmark the ten million credits for the boosting of defenses of Naboo. And thus the stealth cruiser Rogue Shadow was built in the shipyards of Corellia and presented before the Spartan warrior turned assasin by Palpatine at a secret Sith burial ground on Hoth.

He stared at a capsule in his hand.

"I hope that these clothes will fit me." Ajani said a as he climbed into the cockpit and sped off into space.
__
Mickey sighed at the controls. There had been a huge amount of infighting and romantic tension already in the ship that it resembled one of those "foreign" soap operas Kelsie sometimes mentioned she watched back in her homeworld. They hadn't even reached the Interdimensional Rify yet. Ale sat next to the mouse King.

"So....your Majesty...how are you?" Ale asked.

"Not good." Mickey rubbed his temples, his white gloves serving as an odd constrast to the black fur. "I am concerned greatly about Riku." Ale nodded and put his feet up on the control panel.

"He's..."

"ALE!!" Mickey screamed.

"Oh.....sorry." Ale said in an apolegetic tone, after Mickey cut him off.

"We need to get to the Rift soon. What is taking so long?"

"The lines were down!" Chip and Dale shouted over the intercom. "The cooking overheated the power lines. But it's better now!" And there was a speed boost and soon they arrived in the other dimension, however it was in the warzone right outside a planet. A laser bolt hit the ship. Everyone jerked.

Riku was the first to wake up in the kitchens, only to find the other elementals out. Ziz's unconcious form lying ontop of a prone Kelsie. Namine and Roxas used portals to reinsert themselves into the ship and doing so escape the blast. Sora grabbed Kairi, and held her close, absorbing most of the blow. Donald and Goofy both lost their balance, but Goofy recovered quickly and managed to start looking first. Ale pushed Mickey down, and let Mickey escape unharmed. Axel was still unconcious.

"What the heck is going on?" Riku asked.
-----
"He's had alot of sketchy deals, Shawn." Rachel said.

It was dinner time in Denmark and Rachel had taken them to a near by restaurant. Everyone slowly ate their fish.

"The Paik Heavy Industries in Korea and the Widmore Company, who I used to work for, both have been intamately involved in some of those shady deals. Paik built the Helgius Antonius. Widmore was a funder. It hasn't been pretty untangling their deals."

"You've mentioned that ship before.." Gus said. Rachel nodded.

""I STILL don't know what it's for. It was some kind of medical ship, but it wasn't listed on any documents. No one would talk about it, even by bribery. The only way I know it exists is because I saw it and took some pics. " Shawn sighed. This was going to take a while to find out ALL of his history...
__
Meanwhile back in the Gummi cruiser as it continued it's journey into the dimensional rift, Sora stood there gaping in shock at what had just been revealed. Their Nobodies Roxas and Namine were nervous, Kairi had just revealed to Sora of her hidden feelings.

"I do love you, Sora. For a long time." said Kairi as she continued to bury her head onto Sora's chest, Kairi was crying. "Please accept my feelings. I can't keep them hidden."

"You love me?" Sora said, simply just flabergasted at what Kairi had told him. The spiky haired brunette Keyblade wielder wasn't angry at Kairi for revealing her feelings to him of course, he was ecstatic that Kairi indeed did love him after all. "You do Kairi? Since when Kai?"

"Since...." Kairi looked at Sora, she was simply mesmerized by those handsome blue eyes of his that reminded her of the color of the ocean back in the Destiny Islands. "Ever since I came to your world and met you, I always had this sort of little crush on you throughout the years. Always tried to get your attention away from the boys, I was hurt when you didn't want me to help you find Riku after we escaped, I was hurt when you decided to leave me behind without considering my feelings. I despised the fact I couldn't remember you at all..."

"Kairi.....that's enough. I love you too." Sora kissed Kairi on the lips passionately.

Roxas and Namine smiled at the display of affection shown by their Somebodies and glancing at each other, they gave each other a small peck on the cheek. They need not to worry, as long as Sora and Kairi are together, so will they.

"IT's ABOUT TIME!" Roxas and Namine shouted in unison.

Sora blushed.

"No really, I was about to think you were gay for Riku or something." chirped Roxas. Sora fumed with anger and threw Kairi on the ground and began to chase after Roxas.

"YOU'RE DEAD!!"

Hey, its harder to tell sarcasm over the internet, especially since you don't have Richard Dean Anderson or Mark Harmon there to spell it out for you, and then threaten to shoot you so you don't make the mistake again.
