DISCLAIMER: I make no claims to the characters or settings portrayed in this story. All Final Fantasy characters, including Sora, Riku, and Kairi, are all property of Squaresoft, and interestingly enough all designed by Tetsuya Nomura. Now, this story contains events that did not happen in the narrative of Kingdom Hearts itself. I am also assuming for purposes of this story that Cloud (and Aeris, Tifa, Cid, Cait Sith, Vincent, Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, Sephiroth) came from the Planet containing Midgar, materia, etc. (which I refer to as the "Seventh World"), and that Squall (and Rinoa, Zell, Quistis, Selphie, Irvine, Laguna, Seifer, Edea, Ultimecia) came from the world containing the Gardens, GF's, etc. (which I refer to as the "Eighth World"). I do not want to receive reviews or e-mails saying how the Final Fantasy characters are not the ones from the games, and how they all came from Hollow Bastion. I have played the game extensively and know the explanations. If I seem arrogant or facetious, forgive me, as I am just trying to prevent everyone from getting their knickers in a twist about the origins and flooding me with useless emails. All scenes that appear in the game itself use VERBATIM text from the dialogue. I have Oliver Kong (kong_oliver@hotmail.com) to thank for this, due to his excellent game script guide. Any discrepancies or arguments about the game text should be taken up with him, not me. Oh, and new characters will be added as they appear in the story.
