*I don't own any of the KH characters, Final Fantasy VII characters, Final Fantasy VIII characters, or The Walking Dead: The Game character: Clementine, I only own Katie, Yumi and The Remaining

*Render belongs to tsukuneXmoka

Red XIII led the Keyblade Masters and Wielder to, oddly, the castle. "This isn't Merlin's…" Render murmured to Katie, who was giving Marlene a piggy-back ride.

"That's because the Restoration Committee's HQ isn't at Merlin's house anymore. To the people of Radiant Garden, the RC is basically their leader. So Ansem let them use his castle as their HQ to contain that status."

"Ansem?" Render repeated. "Which one?" His eyes suddenly widened. "Wait, you mean Ansem the Wise?!"

Katie chuckled and made a small grin. "Yup! After Xehanort's defeat, Aqua and King Mickey went looking for him in the Realm of Darkness. After he was found and brought up to speed, he came back to Radiant Garden to continue his rule...which he's taking more seriously now and has the help of the Restoration Committee." After a stifled laugh, she added, "He might've been a total butt-face in KH II…but he's honestly a very nice guy. Roxas still has his issues with him but they get along."

Render slightly nodded then asked, "Where is Clementine from? I've never seen her before in Kingdom Hearts or in Final Fantasy…and I own them all!"

Katie's small grin turned into a sheepish smile. "Hehe…well…that's because she's from neither. Roxas and I saved her from her world, even though it was against the rules. We couldn't just leave her there all by herself! She could've gotten killed!"

"What world is that?"

"…Actually, it's Savannah, Georgia. But in a zombie-apocalypse based world."

Render mouth slightly gaped open. "Wait, that's the Clementine from the Walking Dead game?!" Katie nodded. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Render asked, "And what about the Shin-Ra thing?"

Katie gave him a look. "I'll talk to you about it later. When there aren't very many ears around."

Render noticed that Katie was trying to hide pain in her face. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm alright."

Render knit his eyebrows. "You're lying."

"I am not!" Katie snapped.

Render opened his mouth to make an argument but was cut off by Cait Sith saying, "Here we are! Past these doors are your friends!"

"We shall see you later, Katie, Render, Roxas." Red XIII dipped his head. "Thanks again for finding the little ones. We'll take them from here."

"Aw!" Marlene pouted as Katie put her down. "But they just got here!"

"We haven't even played a game yet." Denzel protested.

Roxas softly laughed and ruffled Denzel's hair. "We'll play with you guys when we aren't so busy, okay?"

"Okay…" Clementine said, a little disappointed. She, Denzel, and Marlene waved goodbye as they walked back down the hall.

"Ready to go in whenever you are, Katie." Roxas told her.

Katie looked at Render, who nodded. Katie grabbed the large door's handle and opened it. She let Roxas and Render go first until she let herself in. She let out a startled yelp when she got tackled to the ground. "Hi, Sora."

"Hi Katie!" Sora greeted.

"Can you get off of Katie, Sora?" a voice asked above them. Katie looked up and smiled, it was Riku. "Hey Katie." Sora got off of Katie and made a shy grin. Riku held out his hand to help Katie up, Katie took it and got off of the ground.

Katie gave Riku a short hug before asking Sora, "Do you really need to tackle-hug me every time you see me? It hurts my back."

Sora laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, Katie…"

"No need to be sorry, Sora!" Katie somewhat laughed. She saw Leon near a grid of Radiant Garden and waved at him. "Hi, Leon!"

Leon waved back. "It's been awhile, Katie. Roxas."

Yuffie's head poked around a movable strategy board and grinned. "Hey guys!" her head vanished back behind the board.

"Who's this with you?" Riku asked.

"This is Render Tyler, Riku." Katie made a grin. "He's my apprentice!"

Riku smiled. "Congrats, Katie! You got one before I did."

"Riku, we got a problem." Roxas told him. "It's The Remaining. They were serious about combining all the worlds."

Riku's smile twisted into a frown. "I'll get everybody. Tell us everything."

Leon crossed his arms after Katie and Roxas told them what The Remaining's leader, Yumi Sazha, had told them and Master Yen Sid. He sighed heavily, "Now we have two wars…"

"Two?" Render repeated.

Barret, who Render still couldn't believe was in Radiant Garden , answered, "That damn Electric Company. Ever since yo' friend Katie got us outta Midgar, they've been trying to get into Radiant Garden."

"They want to control it." Leon clarified.

Katie let out a huff before she said, "Apparently, Radiant Garden has lots, and I mean lots, of Mako. It's probably why this city was built in the first place but slipped out of Shin-Ra's grip before they could build a reactor. Something about a force field, that's all I know."

"And since Katie was able to leave Radiant Garden and enter with a Shin-Ra helicopter, Shin-Ra thinks they could penetrate Radiant Garden and build their reactor." Riku added. He sighed. "And now we have The Remaining threatening all worlds…"

Yuffie, with full confidence, said, "We can handle them both!"

"Or we can Shin-Ra while Riku and the gang handle The Remaining." Tifa suggested.

"That works too, I guess…" Yuffie grumbled.

"But we can help you guys whenever you need it." Roxas told them. "We won't let you guys fall to them."

Leon nodded. "Alright, that sounds like a plan. And we'll help you guys also when you need it. Katie will summon us."

"Got it." Katie rolled her shoulders. "Okay, before we leave, is there anything you need us to do for you?"

Leon thought for a second then shook his head. "No, I don't think so."

Katie grinned. "Good! Hey, can you guys leave for a moment? I want to speak to Render in private."

"Sure." Tifa walked to the door with the others behind her, after they all left, the heavy doors closed.

Katie leaned against a table with maps on it. She folded her arms across her chest. "So, what would you like to know bout Shin-Ra, Render?"

Render raised an eyebrow. "They just told us what Shin-Ra wants."

"I'm not talking about that!" Katie took a deep breath before she asked, "I meant, what else do you want to know?"

"Well…they said that you came in a Shin-Ra helicopter. Let's start there."

Katie made a fake grin and sputtered her lips. "Okay…get ready for a long story. It was three months ago, at least. Roxas and I just came from Clementine's world during our Mark of Mastery Exam. There was still some cleanup to do in Radiant Garden when we arrived so we decided to help. I accidently opened Radiant Garden's exit, it lead to a desert. For the blood idiot I was, I stepped into the desert and the exit closed on me, no way to get back in Radiant Garden so I walked in a storm, that's when a bunch of Turks found me. They took me to Midgar and for the giant idiots they were, they thought I was the ex-SOLDIER Genesis due to my outfit."

"You looked like Genesis?" Render interrupted.

Katie nodded. "Yeah…I had short hair and a red leather jacket back then." She continued, "I kept on trying to tell them I wasn't him but they didn't believe me. After that is a blur…all remember was a syringe with green serum in it going into my wrist. When I woke up…" She sighed and turned around so her back faced Render. She made a pain twisted face and bit down on her tongue hard to prevent herself from screaming. Render's eyes widened when her shirt slowly bulged out on her right shoulder blade, her shirt's seams started to pop. A black feather popped out of her black shirt. With a rip, a single black angel wing exploded from Katie's shoulder blade. "…This appeared."

CLIFFY...O3O

Question Time!

The FF member Shadowclaw98 asked: "Hey, just to for the record, is the TARDIS based off of Chris and David's TARDIS, Matt's first one or the one he's used since the Snowmen?" Katie's Tardis is like Matt's first one but has multiple floors and has a touch of Chris and David's. Hope that helps!

If I didn't answer your question, I'm sorry...it's frickin 10:42 PM where I live...DX Imma go crawl in my bed now...
