Pacing her bar Tifa sighed observing the carnage she had caused. Several tables were broken beyond repair with some chairs in pieces. The floor had taken it the worst with bits of it popping up and a great many scratches. In the end she vanquished her foe. A well built man named Loz claiming to be a brother of Sephiroth.

"So uh how are we gonna fix this?" Yuffie asked scanning the mess

"We'll think of something but I suggest you give this a look."

Turning they were met with the sight of a request. It was an invitation for any abled person to come assist in the fight to Sephiroth. The two glanced at the vampire like gunslinger and they all came to a silent agreement. All they needed now was a way there. A single idea came to mind as they considered their choices.

With haste they arrived at the Gummy Shilp port. They found the answer to their problem perched on a barrel tinkering with Gummy Blocks.. At the sound of their approach he spun on his perch giving the trio an inquisitive look. Raising a brow he waited for the nominated leader to speak despite knowing why they came.

"Cid we need a ship." Tifa said

"To get to the castle fast." He add motioning to a colorful ship

"How'd you know?" Yuffie asked staring down the old pilot

"Everybody is going there for some reason." He muttered waving them off


Disney Castle was full of warriors from many different worlds Tifa noted. Upon stepping outside the ship the trio was greeted with the sight of several groups training together. Among them the armies of China, Ancient Greece and several ships of pirates. Scanning the the training troops a puff of blonde stood out.

Making her way around the training troops Tifa made a beeline for her target. him leaning against the corner wall. On his back was a sword as big as he was tall with a blade as wide as him. As she reached him any thing she had to say died in her throat followed by whimper slipping from her lips. Feeling herself about to cry she turned from him only to feel him embrace her.

Without a word he he stood there holding her. Slowly she leaned back into his touch her whimpering turning to sobs. She had missed his touch more than she realized. Slowly his chin came to rest on her shoulder as he touch in her scent. Just for a moment he could forget the trouble they were in.

"I should have come back a long time ago." He whispered squeezing her

"It's alright at least we're together now." She replied smiling at him

A cough made the two jump apart staring at the person in question. Before them stood Zack his arms crossed. He wore a smirk on his lips as he watched the two get flustered the sword used glaring. Ignoring the glare Zack chuckled at his friend's shyness. With a wave he motioned to the training troops. As her eyes moved over them only then did Tifa notice the suits of armor moving in the distance.

"If you lovebirds don't mind training is kind of why we're here." He stated

From a window above Yen Sid stood watching his troops train. Hope brought these people together and he believed it could secure their victory. Even so more had arrived than he had ever thought would have. He had lost count on individuals that had shown up alone much less ships of people. Turning from the window he slipped into a high back chair a smiled.

"Are chances are very high." He whispered to himself
