"Let's go, they need our help." Yuna said. Once the reached Zanarkand they entered the stadium and fiends charged at them, but before they could touch them a sword killed them, "Sir Auron!" Yuna called.

"Yuna nice to see you again." Auron said.

"Are you the one who sent out the distress signal?" Rikku asked. Auron turned to them then noticed Roxas but didn't mention anything, "Yes, I want to go with you on your journey." Auron asked.

"But, Sir Auron didn't you die three years ago?" Wakka asked.

"Yes, but somehow I woke up here, perhaps this is my chance for redemption." Auron said. Yuna turned to her group and they discussed the idea, after coming up with a decision Yuna walked up to Auron and touched his arm and he turned to her, "Sir Auron, we would like you to join us on our journey." He nodded and they left the stadium while the others were ahead Auron decided to talk to Roxas, "You're not from here, are you?"

"No I was just hoping that they'd help me get back home." Roxas said.

"Friends can help with some things, not everything." Auron said then walked up to catch up with everyone else then Roxas joined them. After they left the ruins a bunch of pyreflies surrounded them and moved in a circle really fast then everything went black.

When they woke up they found themselves in an old church with a giant hole in the roof. Roxas looked up and noticed Yuna and Rikku weren't there, "Hey guys where's Rikku and Yuna?" Everyone looked around and also noticed suddenly they heard a scream and a gun fire. They all quickly got up and ran outside and saw Rikku hurt and Yuna standing in front of her in her gunner dress sphere firing at some fiends, the others rushed to help but more fiends appeared in front of them and jumped to attack but a huge sword slashed through them, they looked over and saw a guy with blonde spiky hair.

Yuna tried to fire again but was pushed back and the fiend jumped at her but a woman with dark brown hair and wearing all black used her fists to stop them. The man and woman helped them defeat the rest of the fiends then Yuna turned to them after she put away her guns and bowed, "Thank you so much for saving us, my name is Yuna."

The woman smiled and grabbed her hand and shook it, "Nice to meet you, I'm Tifa and that's Cloud." She said while pointing to the blonde behind her. Yuna nodded and smiled then remembered her friends, "Oh and these are my friends, Lulu, Wakka, Roxas, Rikku and Auron." Tifa looked at them and waved only a few waved back. Afterwards Rikku walked up, "Um do either of you know where we are? We just wok up in there after the pyreflies circled us." Tifa looked at her confused, "Um, you're at the church in the slums in Midgard. And if you don't mind me asking, what are pyreflies?" She asked.

"Pyreflies are them remnants of those who have past on." Yuna explained.

"Any idea on how to get back?" Rikku asked, Cloud leaning against the wall finally spoke, "You said that pryeflies brought you here, so it means that you were at a place where many people died, so there's only one place, The Forgotten City." Tifa gasped, "Cloud are you sure it's a good idea to go there?"

"Yes it's the only way to get them back." Rikku was jumping for joy and Yuna turned to look at Cloud, but when she turned her head he saw his deceased friend, Aerith. He grunted and grabbed his head and shook it a little then looked back up at Yuna and didn't see Aerith anymore.

"Would you like us to come with you?" Tifa asked.

"Oh yes please, that is if it's not too much trouble." Yuna said, Tifa smiled, "No not at all, come on we better get going." And they headed out of the slums, once they got to the end of the slums a young woman jumped down in from of them, "Hey Tifa! Hey Cloud! What's up? Who are they?"

"Yuffie, these are our friends, Yuna, Roxas, Rikku, Wakka, Lulu, and Auron. We're taking them to the Forgotten City to get them back home." Tifa explained. Yuffie started jumping up and down, "Oh can I come, can I come, can I come?"

In the back Roxas leaned over to Yuna, "Looks like we found Rikku's twin." Yuna giggled, "Hey!" Rikku complained. Up ahead Tifa was trying to get the jumping bean under control, "Yuffie! Yuffie! Okay I guess you can come along, everyone this is Yuffie, she's a little hyper so Rikku should get along with her well." Rikku complained again while everyone laughed besides Cloud and Auron. Afterwards they continued on there way not noticing a pair of hidden eyes and green eyes were watching them from a far.

Once they reached the edge of Midgard, Yuna stopped and lowered her head, the others stopped to see what was wrong with her, suddenly she pulled out one of her guns and fired it to her left at a block of wood, "Okay you, come on out I know you're there." Yuna said. After not getting a response she got a little annoyed and walked closer to the piece, "Last chance, and I promise my next shot won't miss." She said aiming her gun, and just when she was about to pull the trigger a second time, a guy with long red hair and goggles on his forehead and a guy wearing sunglasses came out from behind the wood.

"Reno? Rude? What were you doing following us?" Tifa asked, Reno stood up and dusted himself off, "Geez watch where you're aiming that thing, you nearly hit me in the head!" Reno complained to Yuna, she walked up to him, "You shouldn't have been following us. Now back to Tifa's question, why were you following us?"

"We, we were-" He staggered like he forgot, then Rude jumped in, "It was part of a mission, the president got a report saying that they heard gun shots in the slums, so we were sent to investigate."

"Well you found the source, now leave us alone!" Rikku said.

"Are you sure you don't want our help? You three know about those creatures outside the city." Reno asked motioning to Cloud, Tifa, and Yuffe.

"Yeah we know about them, but big deal we've beaten there butts before, we can always do it again." Yuffie said. Reno sighed then put his arms behind his head, "They have gotten much stronger now, more of those giant serpents are out there, a lot more. So it seems you need all the help you guys can get if you wanna get to the Forgotten City." Everyone looked a little nervous besides Cloud and Auron, eventually Yuna spoke up, "Okay you can come with us, but if you double cross us you're president will have to find two new replacements." She smiled at them then turned and started walking away and everyone followed.
