Sora: ....We're all friends! Let's go!
Reno: YES!
Cloud: Ugh....
Reno: HA!
Tifa: *giggles a little*
Reno: *links arms with Sora and they march together*
Cloud: *follows behind, disgruntled*
Tifa: You sure it's okay? What about your boss?
Cloud: *mutters* he's got other, more competent bodyguards, huh.
Reno: X3 Hey Sora, whatcha been up to?
Sora: I cut Sephiroth's hair. That was fun <3

Tifa: This is where he belongs, I guess you could say.
Tifa: He's not one for sitting still, if you catch my drift.
Leon: He belongs everywhere, you mean?
Reno: *knocks Sora over and runs faster* ha HA!
: Sora: HEY! *gets up and chases*
Tifa: There's that and......he can't just stand by when people are in trouble. In that sense, he's happiest when he has helping people to do.
Tifa: At least, that what it seems like to me....
Leon: Yeah.
Aerith: Mhmm
Cloud: I think I can understand that.
Sora: ....*stops*
: Riku: ..........*arms crossed, staring at them* You all sound so old.
Sora: RIKU, c'mon D: I thought for sure you'd join us!

Sora: YAY
Sora: *runs beside him*
Cloud: *had completely forgotten he was there* ......
Riku: You can't lose now that you've had a head start!

Sora: Grr. You two make me so mad!
Yazoo: Do we?
Kadaj: Don't tell me you were getting all teary-eyed because you thought we wouldn't come....

Sora: *lunges at Yazoo*
Cloud: *swings while Loz is distracted*
Yazoo: *knocks him on the ground*
Sora: ....
Tifa: Cloud! Sora!! *tries to fight toward them, but finds it taking a while*
Sora: Nng...
Loz: *teleports behind him*
Sora: D-don't go with them Kadaj...
Yazoo: Pathetic. *aims at Sora*
Riku: *jumps between Yazoo and Sora and knocks Yazoo's gun upward before he fires*

Yazoo: *punches Riku in the stomach*
Tifa: Everyone--!!
Izzy: (where's Yuffie?)

Yazoo: *dodges and Sora falls forward*
Sora: HEY!
Kadaj: :O No fair! Didn't Mother say to leave my friends alone!
Cloud: --!!!
Loz: *strikes while he's distracted*
Yazoo: You don't honestly think that Kadaj would choose you over us, do you Keyblade master?
Sora: ......He's.... He's my friend. Goddammit!
Cloud: *is thrown backwards into a mob of Heartless*
Kadaj: ............
Loz: Don't cry now~

Sora: *twitches* ......
Leon: Thanks!
Kadaj: ....but I.......
Leon: *uses Fireblaster*
Yazoo: ....You interfere, Sora....You took him away
Kadaj: I thought it would be all right, as long as Mother was happy......
Sora: ....nng... *still keeping his ground*
Sora: Y-you're....You're all...
Sora: ....Just leave Kadaj with us....please......
Yazoo: Uh-uhhh.
Cloud: *sprawled on his back trying to get the Heartless off of himself so he can get up*
Loz: *laughs*
Leon: *gets them off of Cloud*
Tifa: Haaaaah! *deals Loz a spin kick to the face*
Yazoo: ....Kadaj, come back with us?
Loz: *wobbles a bit* Oh, you've come back to play some more?
Sora: *kneeling on the ground now* fuck fuck fuck....
Kadaj: .........but can't we all go together?
Yazoo: Nooo. They wouldn't understand us...
Kadaj: *looks upset* Mother......it wouldn't make Mother angry, would it....?
Kadaj: Is that it?
Kadaj: But everyone was so happy....
Yazoo: She won’t allow you to bring them....
Cloud: Ugh....*sits up*
Sora: ....*Grabs Kadaj's leg*
Sora: It's your choice....But....You'll have to grow up and rely on your friends sometimes....
Kadaj: *not expecting it, stumbles* Sora....
Sora: ....
Kadaj: but....
Kadaj: you're all my friends......
Kadaj: Even though Nii-san used to be mean to me....
Sora: ....I know you love your mother....but sometimes....your choices are your own, not hers...
Kadaj: I don't understand why that would make Mother....angry....
Kadaj: ....my....choices?
Cloud: Sora--it's no use! He's an avatar! His will isn't his own!
Tifa: *Turns back* But--
Loz: *grins and attacks*
Sora: Nobodies didn't have a will of their own! LOOK AT AXEL AND ROXAS, CLOUD!
Cloud: *jumps up and pushes her out of the way*
Sora: It hurts....damnit...
Kadaj:......I was......just like Nii-san......
Cloud: Dammit......
Tifa: Cloud!!
Yazoo: ....Sora's weak, Kadaj, Geostigma's taking care of him. Mother's taking care of him.
Kadaj: *stares down at his hands* But....where is Mother....
Kadaj: The President can't be hiding her anymore......
Yazoo: ....Kadaj....we just want you back. We're friends, right?
Sora: ....*still clinging to Kadaj's leg*
Kadaj: we're brothers!
Yazoo: We're brothers AND friends!
Yazoo: Aren't we more important?!
Kadaj: ......but why can't I have other friends too!
Kadaj: That are just as important!
Kadaj: I see.
Kadaj: You're still jealous because I beat you at checkers that time.
Izzy: (oh, Kadaj XDD Way to break the tension)
Aki: (XDDD)
Yazoo: I'm not still jealous!
Izzy: (well, he is immature)
Yazoo: ....you switched the pieces while I got orange juice!
Kadaj: You are too! Well, I beat Sora at checkers, so you don't have to be jealous of him!
Kadaj: That was Loz! Because he cries if he loses!
Loz: I do not!
Tifa: *punches him while he's distracted*
Sora: ....*clutches tighter at his leg* ....nng...
Yazoo: Haha....well...
Kadaj: I......
Cloud: .........
Yazoo: Don't you dare go with them! You belong here! Not with them!
Kadaj: But I!
Kadaj: I DO want Mother to be happy!
Kadaj: But I want to be happy, too!
Yazoo: Mother will be mad!
Kadaj: and....I don't belong somewhere where I can't be with everyone!
Kadaj:.......
Kadaj: Mother has been mad for a very long time.
Kadaj: I did my best....to make her happy......
Kadaj: But then....Nii-san....
YA\azoo: TRY HARDER! LOZ AND ARE TRYING HARDER THAN BEFORE TOO!
Kadaj: ....and Mother said....that it was all right, I didn't have to try anymore......
Kadaj:.......I did my best.......
Kadaj: We all did our best......
Sora: *grip loosens a bit*
Yazoo: It's not done until she's happy!
Kadaj: .........*steps sideways directly between Sora and Yazoo*
Kadaj: That doesn't mean Sora has to go away!
Yazoo: Mother willed it!
Kadaj: Mother wants a planet, right?
Yazoo: ....
Kadaj: We'll find her a planet! A nice planet! Another planet!
Kadaj: A planet where Mother can really be happy!
Yazoo: ....I wonder....
Cloud: ............
Yazoo: If mother likes flowers.... Wait....no!
Yazoo: She wants THIS planet!
Tifa: *beating up Loz with Leon's help*
Kadaj: Why!
Kadaj: What's so special about this planet!
Leon: *smashing at Loz*
Yazoo: ....I see nothing special about it....well....!
Riku: ..........*lying on the ground staring up at Kadaj and Sora*
Kadaj: Exactly! We can find a better one!
Yazoo: But....
Sora: ....Riku....I'm tired.... *mutters*
Kadaj: *crosses arms* All you've ever done is what Mother told you to.
Yazoo: To make her happy!
Kadaj: No....all you've ever done is what you've SAID Mother told you to!
Kadaj: She told me! That everything was all right!
Kadaj: If Mother doesn’t want this planet anymore, then I'll find her another one!
Yazoo: ....
Izzy: (remember, Kadaj thinks Aerith's voice was his Mommy :p)
Yazoo: I'd...I...
Aki: ( Yeah I remember XDD)
Leon: *kneels on the ground*
Yuffie+ Aerith: LEON
Leon: I'm fine.
Tifa: Leon!
Cloud: .............*trying to focus on two things at once*
Loz: Ow....*sniff*
Yuffie: ....Cure, someone cure!
Aerith: I'll cure
Aerith: *casts cure*
Kadaj: *reaches forward and grabs Yazoo's arm*
Kadaj: We can go through space! Like Mother wanted us to!
Kadaj: All of us together on Sora's Gummi Ship!
Yazoo: ....How can he help! He's in the way! The Gummi ship...what...
Kadaj: *puppy eyes* It's fun! It's all colorful and goes whoosh and....
Izzy: (wtf he's been around Sora too long XDD)
Sora: It flies....in space....and goes world to world... *passes out*
Aki: (YEAH XDD)
Kadaj: Sora!
Riku: Sora--!! *pulls himself over*
Yazoo: Fools! I said he's weak! *lunges forward*
Aerith: YAZOO STOP IT
Cloud: *cuts a Heartless in half that was sneaking up on him*
Yazoo: ....*stops*
Kadaj: *looks up* M---
Kadaj: *looks around frantically*
Aerith: ....This is pointless! If Kadaj wants to be with Sora and the others, let him be!
