Chapter 6:
The Farplane
Sora woke up on a platform full of flowers. He stood up and looked around.
"Where am I?" he asked. "And where's Yuna?" He looked wildly around him, but saw nothing but flowers and darkness. "Where is everybody?"
"You fell down, remember?" someone said inside him.
"…Roxas?" Sora asked.
"Yep", Roxas said and walked out of Sora.
"Where are we?" Sora asked.
"This is Farplane", Roxas replied. "Those who die are sent to Farplane. If not, they become a Heartless, then a Nobody and an Unknown."
"I see", Sora said. "So, am I dead now?"
"I don't think so", Roxas said. "You came here by a route. That's why you're still alive."
"Well…" Sora said and put his hands behind his head. "What to do?"
"I guess we'll have to wait", Roxas said. Roxas wasn't really solid. He was transparent, a ghost, perhaps. They sat down and waited.
"How's Namine?" Sora asked.
"Beautiful", Roxas said. Sora looked at Roxas and smirked. Roxas looked at Sora. "I-I mean, she's fine, fine."
"You like her", Sora said. "Roxas likes Namine, Roxas likes Namine!"
"Well, like other, like Nobody", Roxas chuckled.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sora asked.
"That you like Kairi", Roxas said. "Sora likes Kairi, Sora likes Kairi!"
"Not the heck, I don't!" Sora shouted. "She's just my friend. Besides…" Sora lay down. "She probably likes Riku better."
"Well, Namine says that Kairi likes your hair, your muscles and your goofy smile", Roxas said and lay down, too. Sora growled.
"OK, let's talk about something else", he said. Roxas laughed. "How come you can feel something towards Namine?"
"Don't you know already?" Roxas asked. "Remember that I shouldn't even exist? I wasn't created like other Nobodies. You became a human again, but I still stayed. Same with Namine. She became to be because you stabbed yourself with the Keyblade That Unlocks People's Hearts, also known as the Unlocker."
"Really?" Sora said. "Never heard that before." Roxas sighed.
"You're hopeless."
"Thanks!"
Yuna woke up, too. She had a Songstress-dressphere on her. She looked around.
"Sora?" she asked. "Where are you?"
"Sora's not here", said someone. Yuna got up. She looked around and saw a young boy, looking like the shadow.
"Is that… really you?" Yuna asked with hopeful voice.
"Yes", the boy said. "It's me, Shuyin." Yuna looked at Shuyin. She didn't know anyone by that name. "I'm glad that I finally found you, Lenne." Yuna walked backwards and turned around.
"I'm not Lenne", she said.
"Lenne…" Shuyin said and touched her shoulder.
"Don't touch me", Yuna thought. Shuyin turned Yuna around and embraced her. Yuna gasped, and somehow embraced back. "Whose feelings are these? Mine or Lenne's?". They heard noises and Shuyin disappeared with pyreflies. He was now Baralai and Yuna wore her normal attire.
"Yuna!" someone said. Yuna turned around and saw Gippal and Nooj. Baralai walked like a zombie towards an edge, but stopped. He raised his hand and a dark portal appeared.
"Vegnagun is about to be awaken", Baralai said strangely. Nooj and Gippal tried to stop him, but he was gone.
"We must go after him", Gippal said.
"Wait!" Yuna said.
"Yuna, give these to Paine", Nooj said and gave Yuna two crimson coloured spheres.
"Our last wills", Gippal said. Yuna gasped.
"He's joking", Nooj said. Gippal's hair was blonde and spiky and he had an eyepatch. His suit was blue and purple. Nooj had a ponytail on his head and glasses. His leg and arm was made of metal and he carried a walking stick. His suit was red. "We're leaving now." They walked to the portal and then it disappeared. Yuna put the spheres in her pockets. She looked around.
"I'm all alone", she said. Then she heard whistling. She looked up and flowers floated by. She heard it again and saw someone in the distance. Another whistle and Yuna started to run towards him. Fourth whistle and he was gone. "WAIT!"
"Yuna!" Sora yelled. Yuna turned around and saw Sora running towards her. Then she fainted.
Shuyin
Shuyin is a mysterious boy, who calls Yuna Lenne. He looks like him. Shuyin first appeared in Final Fantasy X-2 (2004).
Nooj
Leader of the Youth League. He is a half-machina, and doesn't like it. He's a spherehunter and tries to destroy Vegnagun. Nooj first appeared in Final Fantasy X-2 (2004).
Gippal
Leader of the Machine Faction. He's a care-free young, but it doesn't mean he isn't smart. He's a friend of Nooj, Baralai and Paine. Gippal first appeared in Final Fantasy X-2 (2004).
Yuna woke up on a platform under Bevelle. Sora was next to him.
"Yuna, do you copy?" Brother's voice came from a radio.
"Yuna…" Sora said and Yuna stood up.
"Yuna reporting in", she said weakly.
"Yuna!" everyone said from the radio.
"Is Sora there, too?" Riku asked.
"I'm here, I'm all right", Sora replied.
Sora and Yuna arrived in Celsius. They explained how they ended up in Farplane and whom Yuna had met.
"Who's this Shuyin?" Paine asked.
"Hmm…" Shinra said. "I'm not sure. It seems that he has something to do with the aeons." He started to press the buttons of his computer.
"And why is he calling me Lenne?" Yuna asked.
"For that, I have no answers", Shinra said. "Only that she has something to do with that dressphere of yours."
"Aren't you supposed to know everything?" Riku asked.
"I'm just a kid", Shinra replied. Buddy sighed. Jiminy Cricket jumped out of Sora's pocket with a small device.
"Sora!" he said. "Gummi Alarm is alarming!"
"What's that?" Sora asked.
"It's a device, so you know when you have to go to the Gummi Ship!" Jiminy explained. "There's something wrong!"
"We have to go!" Sora said. "We'll see you later!"
"Wait, Sora", Yuna said and took a charm with a picture of a diamond on it. "Take this."
"A Summon-charm", Sora said. "Thanks."
(You can't know what the Summon is… yet. When Sora summons him/her/them, you will know.)
