File 02: Into the New World » Volume 2
Title based on the song of the same name by Girls' Generation (SNSD).
Okay, the last scene from the last chapter must have misled you guys. It's the other way around, which means Axel is helping them, but in secret so no one knows about this. But that's the only thing of what I have in store. I have big plans for a lot of the characters this time around.
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Disclaimer: The following characters of Secret Agent Kairi, Vol. 2 are from the video game, Kingdom Hearts. Square Enix and Disney rightfully own them. The setting-taking place in the story is original also and does not exist anywhere in Japan. The story, plot, and maybe some original characters are under my name.

Kairi: My name is Kairi Gainsborough. In case some of you who are quite new to this story or say you have read this story, but really didn't, I am a secret agent for an organization called Kingdom Hearts. Designed to take out anything that threatens the county of Japan that goes beyond police's hand and to those higher ups. I was isolated from civilization up until a year ago.
Kairi walks out of the elevator and enters the clean grey concrete hallways of the agency carrying a stack of papers in her hands, passing by her fellow colleges and offices. Her dog, Hoshi, sees her and walks by her side. "Hello Hoshi," she greeted while walking still. "Hope you didn't do anything bad now." He replied with a bark. "Good boy. Last time you made a mess in the Bluebird's office, but I don't blame ya." She laughed.
Next thing she knew, Sora walks to her side. "I see they gave you messenger duty today huh."
"Yeah well, this is nothing," Kairi replied until she slipped on a recently cleaned floor, but Sora catches before the stack of papers fell. "Thanks." They continue to walk to wherever she is heading for and their conversation.
"Why were you given this anyways?"
"Due to yesterday's event, the Bluebird has made go down the file storage room to dig up Vexen's past work." Kairi adjusts herself to hold on the stack or it will fall and continues. "And this is what it is. About twelve inches of paper, maybe even more."
"All of because of that kid," he scoffed at.
"He has a name."
"Yeah, but he's such a brat that it's not worth remembering."
"He's not that bad."
"To you! That little guy called me scrawny." Kairi examines her boyfriend.
"You gotta admit… you kind of are," she shamelessly admitted. Hoshi barked a few times. "See, he agrees."
"Even my own girlfriend and her dog." Sora felt offended. "I should just leave you two!" he dramatically said, but Kairi knew he was messing around.
"You goofball. Stop fooling around or I'll kung fu your butt back to some island or something."
"I know." He returned to normal and hugs her, giving her a kiss on her forehead while saying, "I like you too much to do that." He laughed after. "Oh, and guess what? You probably don't remember."
"Remember what?"
"It's my mom's due month."
"Congrats. When are you guys gonna expect the baby?"
"Who knows? Probably late this month, heck, I don't know."
"By the way, do you know where Roxas and Yuffie are?"
Kairi thought about it and says, "No I haven't."
"They better hurry and show up at the meeting or the Bluebird will dive in to swoop them."
Kairi: For the past months, I have grown to learn new things that are fairly new to me, but I still can pack of punch with that innocent naïve look. I've managed to make what people call them: friends and a boyfriend. Something I never really had, much less what a couple does. I have experienced some crazy things with them. Things I never thought would happen around me that didn't involve me taking someone out or infiltrating some facility. They too, have their own stories to follow.
"Alright!" Yuffie excitably said, showing Roxas a blueprint of their high school. "Here is the map of the school."
"Where did you get these blueprints?" he skeptically asked. "You didn't get into trouble for this did you?"
"It was really hard," she quickly replied.
"Can I please have the blueprints to Tsuki High?" Yuffie asked the man.
"Sure. Here you go!" he happily replied, handing the map over.
"I had to throw in a punch or two to force him to give it," she smiled, throwing punches. "Anyways, we need map out a plan for you and Namine to get together. One of you guys will distract Riku," she explained and points to the school basement. "And knock him out, locking him right here in the school's basement." Roxas' raises his left eyebrow.
"Is that all? You've could've just told me that instead of getting the map."
"Hey! You never know!" she loudly said, rolling up the map. "We might need this in the future. There might be even a secret passageway into the school. Oohhhh! That sounds exciting."
Roxas turns around and sighs with his right hand in hair, "I just had to go to her didn't I?"
"What was that?" she shouted and Roxas reverted back to her.
"Nothing!" Yuffie sometimes scared him.
Kairi: Now what you are probably thinking: "What's the purpose of this story or what is the main objective for this volume?" Well, if you must know, our objective as agency is to take down Organization XIII. An organization that creates viral weaponry with hopes of one day taking over the world. Very original huh?
Kairi and Sora arrive in the conference room with Aqua. "Here are the stacks of files you ordered me Miss," she said, dropping it on the table near Ven. The two take their seats next to each along with Terra, Aerith, Zack, Cloud, and Leon with Roxas, Yuffie, and Tifa missing, but none noticed they were gone except for Tifa, who is teaching a class at the moment, and they continued on.
"Now then, let us start this conference," Terra stated.
"Sometimes I forget he's the one running this place," Sora whispered to Kairi while Terra speaks.
"Me too," she softly replied. "It seems like Aqua always calls the shots of this agency."
"I hear talking," Aqua said out of the blue, which made the couple stop and glue their eyes on Terra.
"It seems our little friend," Terra said, while passing by a computer screen that turns on to show Luneth's profile. "Was injected by an unknown material. It is probably from Vexen's box of wonders when he begun to experiment on people with the help of Xehanort. Our objective is to find out what that is." Aerith raises her hand. "Yes?"
"If he did begin this long ago, then why is it happening now? And why this boy? It's kind of odd."
"I speculate that after we stopped their past plans, they decided to go back to this, but from what I gathered," Terra explained, while looking at the pile next to Ven as he was looking for something. He pulled out a certain file, but it caused the stack to collapse and land on his blonde friend. However, he still continued. "Vexen could never fully create one person with special power without them dispersing."
Ven gets out of the pile of papers and roughly says, "Thanks a lot friend." But Terra ignored it.
"Dispersing?" Kairi curiously said.
"Eventually the subject would melt or dissolve you say at some point. However, our guy here has had it for almost a year now."
"Say what now? I'm getting lost," Sora dumbly said. "He had that… thing in him for almost a year? How is that possible?"
"Glad you asked," Terra replied, pulling up a screen of a montage of newspaper articles. "It appears that about a year ago or two, people around Japan were reported missing for long periods of time and appearing once again as if nothing happen to them with no memory. They were brain washed."
Kairi: About four months ago, there was an incident in the city of Tsuki. The organization tried to destroy and take over the city with their experiments called the Nobodies. It was a tough battle full of twists and turns, but we managed to stop them. This whole battle with the organization started many years ago with Terra's father, who was killed by Xehanort, the main antagonist of this story.
"Hey Namine," Xion said, walking into her blonde friend's room.
Namine turns around and greets her friend with a smile. "Hello Xion." And turns it back as if she was playing with something. Xion glances at her friend and had the urge to ask a question.
"How come it seems that you aren't dealing with any sort of pain like Hayner?"
"What do you mean?" Namine asked, not looking back, as she was playing lifting her new puppy, making it stand on two feet.
Xion walks towards her. "I mean, you seem normal for someone who went through a eminent deal of pain. Hayner is experiencing nightmares and he has a few paranoid moments that someone is out to get him—when did you get a puppy? It's so cute!" She forgot about everything else because the puppy, a shiba bred, was too cute to pass and bends down on the carpet floor.
"I know right! Isn't she adorable?" Namine said, getting excited. "I named her Mizuki! It means 'beautiful moon' you know."
"Heh, funny. Kairi's dog name it Hoshi and that means 'star'. Guess great minds think alike. Why'd you get one?"
"I don't know. I felt a little lonely and this was the first thing that came to mind. So I went with one of my favorite maids, who is my friend, and went to get this cutie," Namine answered, rubbing her pet's head. "The best part was that she looks exactly like that dog from Persona 3! She has the gray and white fur to match!"
"Now Hoshi has someone to play with," Xion added, rubbing the puppy's stomach.
"Heeeyyyy! You wanna go to the Highwind today?" Namine randomly asked.
"Right now? But I just got here."
"We'll take your car."
"I got here by bus."
"Then we'll take the bus! Let's go!" Namine drags Xion out of the room and the two head for the diner.
Kairi: Now that you're up to speed of the general story. Don't expect this one to be the same as the last. It's going to be a whole new world with a new set of rules that is to just make everybody's lives crazier and complicated. You're either ready or your not. Which one is it gonna be?
"Sounds like something out of a movie," Zack commented. "Did these people awaken to their power?"
"I haven't quite figured that out yet," Terra answered. "Which is why we luckily located the organization's new headquarters and our goal is to retrieve as much information about this as possible."
"I swear, this guys need to come up with some radar jam thing or something. The point of a hideout is to never be found."
"Yeah, well, some of them are idiots. I mean… we kicked their butt." Kairi and Sora do a high-five with each other as the two saw Terra raising his eyebrow, giving a small sting eye. "Professionals. We are professionals," she sternly, sitting up, including Sora.
"Like I said, their facility is located in the Pacific Ocean, meaning that it is deep underwater. Gainsborough and her team will go in stealth and it is up to their analyst to keep them out of harms way. Sora!"
"Yes sir?"
"You have been assigned to Agent Gainsborough's team."
"Huh? I only have been in training for two months! I'm not ready for this!"
"Do not worry. I will have your uncle help you on your first day. Ven, don't screw this up."
"Like I had a choice." Ven gets up from his seat and says, "Alright, let's get ready for the mission you two." He leaves the room, but then comes back. "And by the way, please find your two friends and inform them of this information."
"Will do unc—I mean sir," Sora addressed properly. His uncle leaves the room and later on they hear footsteps with Yuffie and Roxas both coming in.
"Sorry we're late! We just had to have today's breakfast!" Yuffie explained and all they do is stare at them.
"What?" Roxas dumbly asked.
Kairi: It's up to your choice.
~ • Secret Agent Kairi • ~
"In the wake of the Tsuki incident, we have amped up our equipment more," Ven told his agents as he opens the armory room that were filled with any gun and weapon you can dream. Everybody is in an awe of the sight and Ven felt flattered. "Yep, I can tell you guys already love this," he laughed. He goes over to a wall full of types of shuriken, ranging from big to small. "Yuffie, these are your secondary weapons compare to your main. You can just throw them." Yuffie is amazed as her eyes gleam with joy.
"This is so cool… and new too!" she shouted.
"Next up is you Roxy." His dad grabs a katana and throws it to his son. "Do not break that. Those aren't cheap." Roxas slowly removes the sword from its sheath as it shines and he can see his reflection.
"I don't think it's safe to keep me around sharp objects anymore," he slowly said and his dad rolls his eyes.
"Last, but not least, Kairi. I'm guessing you know what your weapon is."
"Of course. You're standing right by it," she happily said, smiling. Ven presses a button and part of a wall flips with a unique set of pistols. Kairi can already tell these were exclusive to her and no one else. "I love it. They look like the guns Lara Croft uses in the games! And I love that game!"
"Why? Cuz both of you are female and kick ass?" Roxas laughed. Kairi picks up some random gun and harshly throws it at him, making him hit the ground.
"Careful Roxas, Kairi can kick your ass," Yuffie bluntly said as he gets up, rubbing the pain in his head.
"I can tell," he growled.
"I swear you three," Ven butted in. "One of you will cause all of you to get killed if you keep this up." He then turns toward Sora. "Okay, I will help with of being the analyst of the team. However, you will need to study the facility, its layout, including all twelve members. I expect you to learn all this within two hours."
"Huh? Two hours? I can barely study for a test in ten!"
"Sorry, but we need to have you in a real life situation to put your skills to test Sorarella." Ven pats his shoulder. "You'll do fine… unless I sleep or something then it's all on you," he joked around. "Oh and, their lives too," he added, leaving the room with a frozen Sora with a frighten and twitching face.
"You look pale Sora," Kairi said, looking at him.
"He'll be fine," Ven shouted from afar.
Tsuki, Japan
Namine, her dog Mizuki, and Xion enter through the door of the Highwind, getting welcome from the fresh smell of eggs, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, and other breakfast food that spread throughout the diner. It certainly is a good day to come over here. "Are you sure dogs are allowed in here?" Xion asked.
"Uh… not sure, but let's go find a table until we get in trouble," Namine replied, trying to find an empty spot, which they do, and hide Mizuki underneath the table. Once they got settled in, a waiter comes in to take the order. "I'll take the one I usual order here."
"Eggs benedict with beacon and a mocha coffee?" the waiter asked as Namine nodded. "And you miss?" she asked, looking at Xion.
"Strawberry banana milkshake for me."
"I'll back shortly with your orders girls." With that, she left.
"I've never been here for a long time with Kairi and the others," Namine brings up. "We need to eat here more often! Maybe I didn't order enough—"
"Whoa! Slow down scrawny artist!" Xion interrupted. "You're already getting a full meal so you don't need anymore missy. Man, where is Riku when you need him?"
"He's working. That's why I called you to come hang out. Hayner can barely get out of the house, Pence is taking a school seminar on photography, and Olette is interning at a magazine. Yesterday was their day off. You and I need spend time more anyway."
"I kind of wish I was still working at that children place," Xion said with a small hint of worry.
"How come you're not?"
"Because it's being relocated to somewhere else and it is too far from where I live. I'm still in high school that can barely balance my own life. I just want to get out and leave this place."
"I thought you liked Tsuki?"
"I do. I mean my house. My family has been driving crazy lately." Namine immediately came up with an idea.
"Hey, you wanna stay over with me?" Namine offered, getting excited.
"Huh?" Xion was taken by surprise.
Somewhere over the Pacific…
The musketeers are in a helicopter gearing up for their mission as they head to the location of XIII's new headquarters. For now, it's nothing but the ocean waves. "I am so glad that I have new outfit this year!" Kairi cheered, loving her new all-black outfit. "It's not as tight as the catsuit and I have nice almost tight jacket with a beautiful collar. And it has a zipper too!" she screams, opening her top jacket halfway. "These white lines giving it a little something and love these boots! It gives me a small height boost! Overall, it's awesome!" Kairi rolls up her sleeves.
"Uh… I'm not sure I like mines," Roxas said, examining his outfit. "It almost looks like that guy's uniform from Miracle Train."
"Riku Nakano? I love that anime!" Yuffie rooted for. "He's so hot! Your outfit does resemble his. Even your sleeves are rolled up, you have black gloves except instead of an orange line on your pants, and yours is red. Plus, you have an x-crossed of katana sheaths on your back."
"Why didn't you change your outfit Yuffie?" Kairi asked.
"Me? I love my outfit Kairi! Don't fix what isn't broken," Yuffie defended. The three look out to the ocean feeling the cool breeze hit them as Yuffie sparks another conversation. "If this is a stealth mission, shouldn't we be diving by now? And in scuba gear too?"
"Our outfits were made vigorously for any mission," Kairi explains. "So these can fit under our underwater gear."
"Right…. because that happens," Roxas commented.
"Hello? Is this thing on?" said a faint voice from somewhere. The three look around not moving from their seats and notice it is coming from a small green box. "Hello? Heellooo?" It was Sora's voice. Kairi opens the box revealing three headsets that are neatly place in soft gray cushion. "I swear uncle, they can't hear me." Kairi is amused by this and puts headset on her left ear.
"I can hear you Sora."
"Kairi? Is that you?" he asked.
"Affirmative."
"Ok, so I'm new to this, but uncle here will aid me," Sora told her. "I'm your eyes for this mission."
"Roger that Sora," she said while handing her two friends the other headsets. She sits in her place while watching them put it on and waits for further information. "So Sora, how far are we from the drop off zone?" she asked. She forgot she couldn't wait because her boyfriend is a noob at this. She can't blame him.
"What was that again?"
"How far are we from the drop off zone?"
Sora checks on the computer as a few other screens monitoring the current mission surround him. His uncle sat there in case he needs help. Sora types in the coordinates and a map shows up in front of him. "You are 2.2 miles away from the extraction zone my lady. You guys better get ready to dive."
Kairi grabs the diving gear from underneath her seat; therefore her friends did the same and they all start to put it on. "What's the intel of the XIII's new headquarters?"
"Umm… the place is completely underwater with ten floors, but there is a surface floor above sea level. Possibly the only way to get inside," he answered.
"Is there another way to get in?"
"I'm checking that right now." Sora keeps examining the 3D map of the place and notices an alternative entrance. "There is an opening. It seems to be where they launch mini submarines so you should enter from there. But…"
"But what?"
"You three are going to have to dive at the very bottom to get there. Would you rather settle for the entrance?" Sora laughed at the situation.
"Why yes Sora. If you want to see my funeral I would."
"Aren't you something?" Sora told her, smiling. "You guys will departure in less than two minutes so get ready."
"Ok." Kairi puts on her mask, putting it on neatly and gets up. "You guys ready?"
"Can I say I'm nervous and that I want to stay in the helicopter?" Roxas asked. Obviously he is nervous.
"Roxas, Roxas, Roxas, you should be used to this right now," Kairi informed him.
"Yeah, but—" Before he could finish, Kairi dragged him down with her off the helicopter as they make splash.
"I wanted to do that!" Yuffie said to herself and swan dives in.
~ • Secret Agent Kairi • ~
The three slowly emerge out of the water, grabbing the ledge and climb on out to find themselves in a room made of concrete, full of supplies and computers, two mini submarines hanging, and the small drops of water in the distance. Kairi and Yuffie get out and see Roxas. It almost seems like he's coming out the water in slow motion. "What are you doing?" Kairi asked since she noticed he actually was moving in slow motion on purpose.
"Come on, isn't this what all spies do?" Roxas asked. "The awesome entrance that they do."
"No we don't!" Yuffie replied, feeling offended.
"Yeah Roxas!" Kairi argued and then went back to normal. "No, actually we do." She laughed, whipping her hair in slow motion with mad skills. "And that's how you do it." She winked at him. "Although Yuffie beats me hands down." Getting back to normal state, they take off their swimsuit outfits, revealing their mission attire. Kairi turns on her headset signaling Sora. "Sora, this is Kairi. We are now in so tell us our destination."
"The lab is located on the sixth floor," he informed her while examining the computer screen. "The Organization keeps most of their information in there, but there is also…" He continues to look and finds something else. "The mad scientist, Vexen, room. You'll most likely find something on his computer."
"And where is his room?" Kairi asked as she looks around the room she is in.
"On the third floor."
"You've gotta be kidding me?" Roxas nagged. "That's really high."
"We gotta do it Roxas. There is no back up coming since this is a stealth mission so you can't get caught," Yuffie told him. "I say we should spilt up. Two will investigate the lab while the other goes to Vexen's room. Kairi, you'll go to his room while Roxas and I go to the lab." Kairi gives her a nod and goes on ahead of them.
"W-why does she get the solo?" Roxas asked, feeling a little jealous.
"Because unlike you, she has the experience. You need someone to lookout for you," Yuffie answered.
"Please, I have these." Roxas pulls out his katanas and shows off by spinning them with fingers. "I don't need anyone to lookout for me." Yuffie rolls her eyes and moves on without him. "Hey! Don't leave me! I'm unexperience!" he shouted, running towards her.
Back in Tsuki, Namine and Xion continue to have breakfast chatting on various topics as people pass by their window. Namine takes a sip from her mocha and puts it down. "I swear we need to change some things up when we get back to school," she said, putting in beacon into her mouth. "I heard they renovated it despite the disaster," she muffled through her food. "And that we have an auditorium." Xion eyes widen while drinking from her straw of her milkshake. "We also get to stay in one classroom now! No need to walk to the next room!"
"You're not high… right?" Xion asked. "I worried about you."
"I said I'm fine Xion," Namine calmly answered, but Xion didn't think so. She felt her friend needs something to do that did not involve eating.
"We should go see a movie," she suggested.
"Ooo… what movie?" Namine was already excited.
"How does… Toy Story 3 sound? I know it came out in June, but it's still in theaters."
"Yes. Let's go now!" Namine immediately got up, but Xion got up from her seat to stop her.
"Namine! Let's finish our meal first."
"You're right. You're right. I have to finish this delicious meal." Namine gladly returns to her seat and continues to eat her meal.
"Namine?" Her blonde friend looks at her while chewing her food. "How did you get Riku to fall for you?" The topic started to feel serious so Namine swallowed her food to give her answer.
"Honestly Xion, I don't know. After the incident with Roxas, he took care of me and… looked out for me that he was the guy Roxas couldn't be. You can't change a person if they are not willing to do it, which is why I took Roxas' apology. I couldn't change his decision."
"So what mean is the best way to fall for someone or for them to fall for you is to… bond through something?"
"Yeah. Sorry I went off topic earlier."
Kairi walks through the empty hall of the organization's underwater quarters and is surprise there are no guards searching the area. "No guards. No cameras. What kind of place is this? You mine as well call it the city morgue," she talked to herself and noticed numerous doors. She opens one revealing a Yeti screaming at her and closes it. Then she checks the others, which contained: a man wrapped in a white strap jacket, a boy sitting on the ground that says, "I see dead people", and a girl who keeps hurting herself and quickly heals. "No wonder they cancelled Heroes," Kairi said to herself.
She continues to walk around and finally saw a window, but immediate takes a step, hiding behind the column by it. It appeared to be their conference room. "Sora?"
"Yeah?"
"I've located XIII's conference room and they are in one right now."
Once Ven heard this, he immediately took over for Sora. "Agent Gainsborough, you're going to be using one of our new gadgets that we've put in your bag. It is a small circular flat device designed to hear things through those special glasses like the soundproof ones." Kairi rummages through her bag like she was told and finds it. "Once you find it, I want you to active it and place it anywhere on the window." Kairi follows the instructions as a small light comes on. "Now it will connect with your headset and we'll be able to hear the frequency." Slowly, Kairi could hear other voices coming in.
"We've lost another subject sir," Vexen informed. "He faced the same fate as the other defected ones. We need that special material for our test subjects to fully adapt to their ability."
"And what about those who we kidnapped and let loose?" their leader, Xenmas aka Xehanort questioned.
"They are the lucky ones because we managed to scramble of what we had left. Finding an alternative source has been quite troublesome. It appears materia can only cure these problems."
"Materia?" Kairi, Sora, and Ven both wondered.
In another place, Roxas and Yuffie knock out a few guards and stuff them in a closet. They strip them all of their communication devices and destroyed them, rending them useless. They manage to get on the same floor as the lab. They see it through a whole wall of glass and see the entrance, but its locked. "Great, how do we get it in when it needs a pass code?" Yuffie said.
"Can't we just break down the glass?" Roxas blurted out and Yuffie gave him a look.
"Seriously? You want the alarm to go off and we get caught? Then let's do it."
"Calm down. I was only kidding." Roxas then saw an 'X' as one of the inputs and notices that the door require four characters. So he just presses: X, 1, 1, 1 and it opens. "Heh, I bet they have an idiot who always forgets the code." The two enter in with Yuffie covering his back. There were empty test tubes around them and they saw a big puddle at the end. Also, there was a glass window looking into the ocean. "What the heck we're doing in here?" Yuffie checks the nearest computer.
"Ain't it obvious? They were experimenting with humans and that puddle of a mess must've been someone," she replied, typing in the word: magic inside the search bar. "Now let's see what they are up to now." A long list of reports come up, including other windows relating to the word. "Materia?" Roxas comes by her.
"What's that?" Yuffie clicks on it as a description came up.
"Materia, a colored orb that is a crystallized object from the remains of a meteor."
When Kairi placed the hearing device, she continued upward to Vexen's room while hearing the conference. "All types of materia lurk on those meteors in space and we need them," Vexen explained while walking around the room. "If we can harness their special abilities, we can use them to rule this god forsaken world. It will enhance our ability to take down Kingdom Hearts who stand in our way."
"That sounds a little extreme don't cha ya think?" Axel said. "Although, I don't mind possessing the power to create fire with my own hands."
"Then I'll try to strike you down with thunder and lighting if you try anything funny," Larxene snared.
"Maybe I can create water beings that will actually dance to my music," Demyx randomly thought off, but he is brought back to reality when their leader slams the table to get their attention, which scares them.
"Enough already you petty girls!" Xenmas shouted.
Vexen closed his eyes and says, "Tsk tsk you three. As I was saying, I have done some research and need to dispatch tomorrow for this special night."
"Oh, and what is that?" Xenmas asked.
"Tomorrow night will be a meteor shower."
Yuffie continues to the description of materia. "It is the only material known to give a human being magic abilities. It takes a while to control its power as it could kill the person possessing it if they can't learn to master its skills. Once it is implanted, there is no other way to take it out, but to kill them."
"Kill? Is this what they do?" Roxas asked as Yuffie takes out a USB drive and plugs it into the computer.
"Yeah and we need to get this information back to HQ," she replied, transferring the files. "We can't have another disaster on our hands. I mean, look what happened to some our friends already."
"What if they are already in danger?" Roxas was worried, thinking about what could happen to his friends and everyone around them. "And time is just waiting to strike by picking off each one of them."
"Well, we can't let that happen now can we?" Yuffie thought off.
Elsewhere, Kairi enters Vexen's room through the vents and sees a bed, bathroom, and a big computer. "So what now boys? What is the plan for tomorrow?" she asked. "We need to be one step ahead of them so we can gain the upperhand." There was no response while she investigated the room. "Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Yes we are here. I'm just thinking of a plan. We will tell the other when the mission is over. Get as much information you can get and get out of there once you do," Ven informed her.
"Copy that." Kairi gets in the chair that is in front of the computer and turns it on. "Alright, let's see what else you could be hiding from your fellow members Mr. Mad Scientist." She manages to get log in as it didn't require a password and checks his documents. One caught her eyes as it read: List of materia users. "I found the document of the people they kidnapped."
"Now Kairi, we didn't give you a USB to transfer the files so you're going to have to use your phone," Sora told her. "I'll guide you through it."
"Alright." When Kairi is about to take out her phone, the alarm goes off. "What the?"
"Quickly!" Kairi continues to her boyfriend's request while she waits for his instructions.
~ • Secret Agent Kairi • ~
The ones who caused the alarm to go off were Roxas and Yuffie. Well, Roxas actually. "Roxas! I'm going to kill you for this!" Yuffie screamed at him. He somehow knocked down a shelf that held beakers and anything glass related, which caused the alarm to go off. The screen says: Transfer Complete and Yuffie removes the USB from the computer. "Let's go you noob!" When they run for it, a bunch of guards ambush them from the other side and fire. Too bad, the glass is bulletproof. "Wow, they sure are stupid!"
"What do we do now? We're sitting ducks!" Roxas complained and got slammed at the back his head from his ninja friend.
"Calm down you idiot! I'm thinking!" Yuffie looks around and thought of a crazy plan when she spotted a vent. "Follow me!" Yuffie runs across the lab with her blonde friend behind her while getting out small ninja stars and throws it at the glass window. It hits leaving small cracks.
"Are you trying to drown us?" Roxas said.
"No…" Yuffie jumps and grabs onto a bar, swinging to kick open a vent. "I'm going to drown them!" Roxas looks behind him as the guards open the door.
"Yuffie!" Roxas shouted for as a rope came down. He takes it climbs up. The glass near them starts to break when the cracks start to become bigger. By the time Roxas is in the same spot as Yuffie, the glass completely shatters sending a huge wave of water into the lab, drowning the guards.
"Hurry before the water floods these vents too!" Yuffie said.
Back in Vexen's room, Kairi continues to waits for the files to transfer with it being at ninety nine percent, but hears the door open. It reveals Vexen who is surprise of Kairi's appearance. "Shit," she whispered as bust out her guns and begins shooting, causing more mayhem. Vexen dodges her attacks and takes cover.
"I should've known you were here. Did you come to be my guinea pig?" he asked.
"In your dreams. I know what you guys are up to and it won't work!" Kairi shouts, still aiming where he is hiding.
"So young and sweet yet naïve. My plans always work." Vexen busts out his weapon and fires ice shards at Kairi. She barely dodges them when a shard cuts off a piece of her hair. "How am I able to cast ice then?" Kairi eyes her phone to see the transfer is complete and grabs her phone. Vexen shots more shards at her, and Kairi takes cover. "There's no more room for you to run. I have you where I want you." Kairi takes a grenade and pulls the pin.
"Oh yeah, then how bout I give you a sign of my… submission!" She throws the grenade and it explodes, giving her time to run. She comes out the room only to have more of the organization members eyeing her. She smiles and says, "Your security sucks guys. Bye!" She makes a run for it as they chase her down and gets knocked down onto the ground and Roxas lands on her and later Yuffie. "Get off me! They're behind me!" Her two friends immediately got off her and run, dragging her when she got up to.
Kairi watches their back as she begins to shot while running with them, trying to find a way out. They kept on turning and turning without thinking. "Sora, I need you to find us—never mind," she said as she saw the stairs.
Roxas runs into it, trying to open it. "It's locked!" Kairi shoots the doorknob, opening it. The other members come and one throws knifes at them, but the door catches it instead. "Whoa!"
"Run!" Kairi pushes Roxas as they run up the stairs. By the time they reach the second floor, they hear footsteps. She looks down below to see water, but the members following their tail. They enter into the second and pass by a glass window looking to ocean. She shots as she exits the stairwell and runs. "Just keep going!"
"You girls are nuts!" Roxas told them.
"Why thank you Roxas," Yuffie happily accepted. On the other side of them was another set of XIII's members coming up, but from another stairwell. Kairi shots across shooting another glass as the hallways seem to mirror each other. She reloads her guns when the three take a left at the intersection.
"Sora! Tell there is an elevator near us!" Kairi said. Sora examines the map and gives out a 'yes'. She turns her head when she hears glass breaking and the rush sound of water coming. Then faces forward to see her friends continuously pressing the 'up' button to the elevator. "Just cause you guys keep pressing the button doesn't mean it'll come faster guys!"
"Who gives a crap? I want out!" Roxas screamed in fear. Then the three saw the two sides of water collide and then it comes towards them. Inside the water was Organization XIII themselves screaming for their own lives. "Hurry up!" They look up to see it on the third floor and look back. Yuffie bangs on the door and the light reveals it on the second floor, which means it opens. They rampage inside and press the first floor with Kairi continuously pressing the 'close' button.
"Kairi, just cause you keep pressing the button doesn't mean it'll come faster," Roxas told her, obviously having her eat her own words.
"Shut up Roxas!" As the doors close, a rush of water enters in, getting them wet with at least two inches inside. "Damn that's cold!" she screams while the elevator goes up. Soon, they find themselves on an empty first floor, which is above sea level. "We need a helicopter now!" The sun finally shines on them as the three operatives come to see a helicopter flying in front of them.
"Hey!" It was Kairi's dad yelling for them. "We soon came when Sora told us you were in some deep water," he laughed. Obviously he was trying to make a joke.
Kairi stops underneath the helicopter and says, "Dad, you suck at jokes." The ladder comes down and she grabs onto it with her friends doing the same thing after as the helicopter flies off. They hang above the ocean and it felt like an incredible experience with the wind flowing through them. Kairi couldn't help, but smile and looks down and notice her friends were happy to.
Kairi: So this is what we do now. A group of teenagers trying to take down Organization XIII for it's wrong doings and trying to be one step ahead of them. But there's more to our lives than just the fun and action.
Kairi, Roxas, and Yuffie reach the inside of the helicopter and take a sit, feeling relieved. For their missions, they sure are exhausted and wet from today's mission. Roxas says, "Man… that was…"
"Scary?" Yuffie finished.
"Awesome!" he shouts. "I can't wait to do more of this!" Everyone happily laughs and enjoy each other's company. Kairi examines her surroundings noticing that things are about to change. For better or for worse, she currently likes where she is right now.
Kairi: Outside of this world, I try to maintain another life. A world filled with family and friends. The ones we care about and love because they make us happy each day. Where would I be without them? If I hadn't step into the "normal" world last year, I wouldn't be having new teammates like the ones I have now. And one of them happens to be my boyfriend.
"Sora?" Kairi said, knowing he will pick up the call. She wanted to say something to him.
"Yes?" he replied.
"Thank you. You did great today and I want to thank you."
"You just did. Twice," he laughed. "Like I said: I'll always be protecting you." Kairi can't help, but smile because he was genuine when he said that. The last time he said those words was when they were in a hospital bed. "You don't worry to about me. It should be because you're out there doing things that could possibly get you killed."
"Come on, if we we're show or whatever, I would the titled character. You can't kill the lead when her name is attached to the show's title like Nikita."
"Of course Kairi. You are a superwoman who won't go down. I guess I shouldn't worry as much as I should then huh?" he wondered. "If anything happens to you, I will leave my position and rescue myself. I won't let anyone else do it. Not even Yuffie or Roxas."
"Good to hear. I just hope you are ready for what's to come Sora." She heard him chuckle on the other line.
"Oh, I've been ready since the day you told me your secret."
Kairi: I'm not the only you should pay attention to. My friends are also going through a few things after the city incident. It possibly had changed many of us since that very day while trying to forget about it. But what can I do when I'm not there to help? I have to rely on the fact that they will take care of each other.
Namine and Xion are on the bus coming from the movies. "Oh my god, I literally thought they were going to die you know!" Namine said. "Maybe I should've kept my toys instead of throwing them out. I'm surprised we managed to sneak in Mizuki in the theaters too. I should call Riku's working place to tell him." She quickly busts out her phone, speed dialing his number, but Xion took it away from her and hanged up the call.
"It's best you don't disrupt Riku ok Namine," she said. "He could get fired for one personal call."
"You're probably right. I'll text him!" Namine snatches her phone back and texts Riku. Xion didn't bother because they were approaching Namine's bus stop already. She pulled the wire for the bus to stop. "The rides over already? Oh wells. It was nice being with you today Xion."
"Good to know. Be safe."
"Oh I will," Namine happily said, getting out of her seat, taking Mizuki wither her when the bus stops and its doors open. She waves goodbye to her friend and starts walking home. She continues to type her text message to Riku while walking. Before she knew it, Mizuki barks to tell her that they were in front of her house already. She hits the 'send' button and walks to her house, opens the door and closes it. "I'm home guys!" She and Mizuki walk up the stairs to rest in her room, opening the doors.
Kairi: Some may have faced a 180-degree turn in terms of personality since last time, but deep down, they are still that kind of person. They just cover it up because sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down. Now, my question for you is: Are you ready for this new world because if you're not…
She closes the door and falls down to the ground, breaking down as she silently cries, mourning the pain she is covering up from her friends. Mizuki whimpers and stands by her side, knowing she is hurting inside.
Kairi: It's best you leave now.
Finally! An update! I'm sorry for the lack of updates because I haven't been into writing for this story for a while because I didn't know how to play out some scenes. If you read my new story, Unwritten, then you guys would know that. Anyways, like I said before, I am going to feature more action this time because the missions will be one-shot stories while having some personal ones going on.
Thank you to readers who have returned for the sequel and to new the ones who came across the sequel first, and later read and review the original.
Also, check out my new story Unwritten. To add to that, I have another one called The End of Eternity and it will feature Sora as the main character compared to my other stories. The plot can be read on my page if you want to check it out.
