Part IX

[thunderedge]

Yazoo: ....*Frowns*
Kadaj: *eyes start filling up with tears* you were here....I knew it......
Izzy: (awww, now he's the crybaby)
Aki: (AWWW <3 Yay Kadaj XD)
Kadaj: I told you Mother said it would be all right! *frowns at Yazoo*
Aki: (She'll play mommy XD)
Izzy: (yay <3)
Yazoo: ....She said before...
Aerith: It's okay. Fight's over. Call off the Heartless.
Kadaj: *puts hands on hips and reassumes his previous role of older brother*
Kadaj: besides, what are you two doing playing with Heartless!
Kadaj: The Shadow Creepers aren't good enough!?
Yazoo: We....didn't call them....
Kadaj: Then who did!?
Aerith: huh?
Leon: ....
Izzy: (haha he's mad now.)
Aki: (XD)
Yazoo: I don't know....
Kadaj: ......
Cloud: ....*looks around*
Yazoo: ....They just appeared...
Tifa: *breathing hard*
Aerith: *cures Tifa*
Aerith: Why don't we....*walks to Riku and cures*
Riku: *climbs laboriously to his feet with Sora on his shoulder*
Aerith: Just all work together... *heals Yuffie a bit*
Aerith: and *heals Loz*
Kadaj: That's right! Together!
Cloud: ............
Tifa: ..........
Aerith: get rid of the Heartless *heals Yazoo*
Yazoo: Okay....
Loz: You mean we still get to play some more! :D
Yazoo: ....Yeah, I suppose so....
Aerith: But we're all on the same team.
Yazoo: *nods*
Tifa: *nods at Cloud* We'll see how it goes, all right? (whispers) Trust Aerith.
Cloud: ......*frowns*
Tifa: ....and Kadaj.
Cloud: Tifa--
Tifa: You know what it's like. Don't say that.
Cloud: But--
Aerith: You say Sora has Geostigma....
Yazoo: He does.
Tifa: You used to be......just a puppet like him, remember? And now you're both choosing for yourselves.
Cloud: ............
Aerith: mm....
Sora: .... *over Riku's shoulder*
Reno: ....Guuuyyyss.... more heartless are coming.
Cloud: *turns away and extends a hand to help Leon up*
Leon: Thanks...*stands*
Tifa: *nods at Aerith* It's all right.
Aerith: *sighs* I'm glad they just....still care about 'me'.
Aerith: *smiles a bit*
Tifa: *smiles back* It's good to be loved, right? But you've got your hands full with such big children.
Aerith: Haha, yes yes. I do. But that's all right. They're good children.
Tifa: who misbehave and get into all sorts of trouble....
Tifa: *laughs*
Tifa: Let's go!
Aerith: They've got good hearts though.
Aerith: Yep!
Tifa: That's what counts. *turns to face the Heartless*
Cloud: * to himself* everyone's just lonely....huh.
Leon: Hey Cloud, double-team again?
Cloud: If only for old time’s sake. *readies swords*
Leon: *unlocks the latch on Gunblade*
Aerith: ....Kadaj, why don't you go and take Sora somewhere safe. We need Riku's Keyblade.
Riku: .............
Kadaj: Leave it to me!
Riku: *looks him straight in the face*......I'm counting on you!!
Izzy: (what he means is, "If you let him get hurt I'll #@$*ing kill you." XD)
Aki: (XDD)
Sora: ......*still unconscious XD*
Izzy: (aww)
Kadaj: Nii-san! Give me your cell phone!
Cloud: What!? Why!? And why now!?
Kadaj: Well, you broke mine.... :(
Kadaj: And I need to make an important call.
Cloud: ......*tosses it to him reluctantly*
Cloud: Well, you made me lose my first one, so don't let anything happen to it!
Kadaj: Don't worry, I'll give it right back~ *dials*
Kadaj: Hmm? No, it's not who you think it is. But it's an emergency~ Come quickly~ Yes, that would help. He's right here. You want to talk to him? No? Okay~ See you soon~ *hangs up*
Cloud: *stares while killing Heartless with one hand* Who on earth did he call?
Leon: dunno....
Kadaj: Nii-san! Catch! *throws it back*
Leon: *stabbing heartless*
*a few moments later, the roar of a helicopter is heard*
Izzy: (hee hee.)
Aki: (XDDD)
Tifa: *looks up* It's the company helicopter! But how do you know Rufus' phone number?
Sora: ....It's....loud....*came to*
Kadaj: Well, I do from before......but that's not who I called. Not directly.
Riku: Sora! You all right?
Sora: Yeah....
Sora: My shoulder and half of my back hurt though...
Riku: Hang on, we're getting you out of here....
Sora: But....
*helicopter hovers overhead and the door opens*
Riku: *yells to be heard* Don't worry! We'll be fine! We'll come get you later!
Sora: You'd better...!
Vincent: Cloud!! Just who have you been letting use your cell phone!?!
Cloud: *stares*
Sora: ....*stares*
Aerith: Kadaj, just go with Sora~
Aerith: *smacking Heartless*
Kadaj: *takes Sora from Riku and jumps upward*
Vincent: *stares sidelong at Kadaj* This had better be good.
Sora: ....Red cape looks....familiar....
Cloud: *yells* Vincent! There's no time to explain! Get them out of here! We'll catch up later!
Sora: Cloud....this guy stole your cape!
Sora: ....thief....
Vincent: *yells back* Looks like you've gotten into trouble again! I'll leave this to the Turks! *jumps down as the helicopter starts to fly away and pulls out Cerberus*
Vincent: *turns back just before they're out of earshot* and HE'S the one who stole MY cape!
Izzy: (Vincent is louder than usual because of the helicopter XD)
Aki: (XDD)
Sora: BAD CLOUD!
Sora: *kinda....delirious? XD*
Elena: Hold on boys! *pulls away from above the mass of Heartless toward Healin*
Vincent: *voice back to its normal quiet tones* So what is it this time.
Sora: ....Thanks Kadaj....*mutters, resting on his shoulder*
Kadaj: Well......I've been with Yazoo and Loz forever, but....that doesn't mean I can't have other friends too.
Kadaj: And Mother said it was all right.
Sora: *nods* She's a good mom, it sounds like.
Cloud: A longer story than usual. But the bottom of it is that we have to find out where all these Heartless are coming from.
Cloud: *jerks head at Yazoo and Loz* Oh, and they're helping us. Even longer story.
*heartless start to disappear randomly*
Sora: *looks at Elena* I remember you...
Sora: You and Reno fought last time I was here....
Sora: Over a sandwich D:
Sora: And....where's Zack T_T
Elena: Huh? That sandwich was mine, Sempai stole it.
Elena: And who's Zack?
Sora: A friend of mine....
Sora: ....But I'm gonnaaaa ....rest or something, Geostigma hurts, haha. *Leans against Kadaj*
Elena: *sighs* man......
Leon: guys....the Heartless....are gone :\
Reno: we didn't even fight them....
Yuffie: Are they....following Sora or Kadaj, or something?
Cloud: .......Only the flying ones would be able to....
Cloud: but as soon as they land....
Cloud: *turns to Vincent* Where are they headed?
Vincent: Back to Healin seems most logical.
Reno: ....OH MY GOD! *insert VERY upset expression* THE BOSSSSSS! *attempts to run after the copter*
Aerith: ....Cloud, go after him....He'll lead you Sora and Kadaj. They'll probably need your help.
Yazoo: Why not us, Mother?
Aerith: *sighs* You and Loz can go too....nothing bad'll happen here for now.
Cloud: And everyone else?
Tifa: We should probably try to figure out if there's another reason for them leaving. Despite the fact that Sora is the Keyblade master, there might be another reason for them disappearing....
Cloud: *glances at Yazoo and Loz*
Aerith: Yazoo, go with Cloud after Reno, Kadaj and Sora
Yazoo: Yes.
Aerith: Loz, Leon, Yuffie stay here and come up with a few ideas of why the heartless left, and Tifa, Vincent and I will get the gummi ship to pick you guys up.
Aerith: We'll be back in a heart beat, because Cid added more speed...
Vincent: Very well. *pretends he knows what a Gummi Ship is because he's too cool to ask*
Tifa: all right.
Yuffie: I have Vincent's number too, just in case.
Aerith: good.
Vincent: .......Don't you dare call me.
Yuffie: ....It's a matter of saving the world. >:P
Yuffie: One call wouldn't hurt you.
Vincent: ..........
Aerith: Cloud, Yazoo, shoo! After Reno you go. D:
Yazoo: *grabs Cloud's arm and drags him to his motorcycle*
Cloud: Going. *shakes Yazoo off and jumps on Fenrir*
Aerith: c'mon Vincent, Tifa. *starts to leave*
Yazoo: ....Nii-san's still mean....
Yazoo: *takes off after Reno*
Sora: *looks out the window* Is that Zack...?
Tifa: *sigh* *follows Aerith*
Vincent: Hmph. *follows too*
Kadaj: You're seeing things now. Sit down and put on your seatbelt.
Sora: But look first....
Sora: It looks like Zack....
Kadaj: ......hmm? *doesn't know what "Zack" looks like*
Sora: *regardless of wind pressure, opens window* Z....ZACK!
Kadaj: D: Sora! Be careful!
Elena: Close that!!
Sora: ZACK!!!
Sora: ....*leans back*
Sora: Hmm....
Kadaj: We can go visit your friend when you're feeling better, okay? Then we can all be together.
Sora: AHA! *writes a note on a piece of paper and puts it on his pendant* If Kairi's bottle can get to Riku and I our of a shot in the dark....this will reach Zack....
Sora: *Throws it out the window, aiming as good as he can for Zack's head and closes window*
