"So you guys have been in hiding for so many years?" Ventus asked Mr. Incredible who nodded.
"Yep…whole bunch of lawsuits and what not…but on a different note." Mr. Incredible said as he knelt down to the boy's level, "I was impressed by how courageous you were with that machine. I have a feeling that you and your friends are going to have a huge impact wherever you go."
"Well…we're just trying to hide from those weird guys with the robes and the magic." Ventus replied as Mr. Incredible smiled and nodded.
"Perfectly understandable…but I wonder…you look like you could use some help." Mr. Incredible said as he looked at Violet and Dash talking with Ventus's family and friends.
"Excuse me for a minute…" Bob said as he stood up and walked towards his wife who was talking on a pay phone nearby, "…Honey!"
"So you guys are from another world?" Violet asked confused.
"Yep…we're from a couple of worlds actually. Like most of us are from a world called Spira but Melody and Sebastian are from a world called Atlantica…can you believe that Mermaids live there?" Lulu explained.
"It's not any weirder than what you'd see around here I'll bet." Violet shrugged.
"I wouldn't say that really…I've seen stranger worlds." Argento replied.
"What world are you from?" Dash asked as he slid up close to Marina with a suave grin, "Is it called heaven?"
"Dude! That's my sister!" Ventus said as he slid up between them.
"So?" Marina and Dash both asked simultaneously.
"You're not my keeper Bro…" Marina said as she shoved the red haired Keybearer out of the way and moved in with a friendly face towards Dash, "…you were saying Dash?"
The rest of the group just looked at Marina dumbfounded.
"You want them to do what?!" they heard Mrs. Incredible shout.
"Honey they look like they could use our help and it will give Dash and Vi a good chance to learn to use their powers more effectively." Mr. Incredible explained as Mrs. Incredible sighed.
"But what if they don't want them to come along?" Helen asked.
"Well then let's ask them." Bob said as they approached our heroes.
"We have something we want to ask you guys…" Helen said as the group all turned to look at them, "…Would it be possible for you to allow Dash and Vi to join you?"
"Well…I have no reservations…they're very capable but we're entering dangerous territory here with more of those hooded guys…I don't know if they want to take that kind of danger." Argento said as Cissnei elbowed her.
"Have you learned nothing of those stories? Sora was facing heartless at the age of fourteen." Cissnei said as the six youngsters snickered.
"I still think it's a humorous concept…I won't believe it unless I see dad holding a Keyblade in his hand." Ventus said as the other five nodded in agreement.
"We can face any danger…there's not a bad guy around that I can't outrun!" Dash said with a determined look on his face.
"It's now becoming a matter of transportation…we have no ship and thus no way to get back to known space." Argento replied as Shelke cleared her throat.
"That statement is incorrect…I believe the final rocket back at Syndrome's lair is capable of hyperspace travel. And with the proper reprogramming I believe I can have it set a course for the nearest planet with known Gummy ship facilities." Shelke explained.
"What do we travel in though? I highly doubt that Mrs. Inc. wants to be stretched out that far again." Argento said as Shelke nodded.
"I believe that the final rocket was meant for an emergency evacuation and as such is equipped with life support systems as well as seating." Shelke replied.
"Ok how do you know this?" Argento asked.
"I was able to hack into their computer network on the flight over here." Shelke replied as Argento gave her an amused yet proud smirk.
"I wondered what that was you were doing...that was slick." Violet said with an impressed smile.
"Thank you." Shelke replied.
"You know I'm beginning to warm up to the idea of going with these guys." Violet said with a smirk.
"What about you Dash?" Marina asked while fluttering her eyes, earning a disbelieving look from her brother, Rikujou, and the twins.
"I get to go into space right?" Dash asked as Cissnei nodded, "I AM SO IN!!!"
"Ok then…I guess we're going with you guys…only what about Jack-Jack?" Violet asked.
"Oh he's fine Vi." Frozone said as he approached, "Honey picked him up from your house when that girl with a machine gun mouth called up all frantic and such."
"Kari…I somehow didn't think her sanity would survive the ordeal." Helen said as she and Bob suppressed their laughter.
"Ok then how do we get back to the island?" Cissnei asked as they heard the sounds of a jet overhead and spotted a jet similar to the one Syndrome used. Sitting at the controls sat Mirage.
"Let me guess." Argento said as she predicted Mirage's line, "…Say please."
Thirty minutes later…
The group was standing outside the gangplank to the rocket ship saying their goodbyes as the robots hurried to load up the ship with the gear from the crashed gummy ship.
"Now you guys be good and don't be afraid to use your powers." Helen said as they removed their masks.
"Does this mean we can use our real names?" Dash asked as Bob nodded.
"Yep…because our world is apparently restricted to the others…" Bob said as Argento shrugged, "…we don't have to worry about being exposed and word getting back here."
"Cool." Dash said rubbing his hands together.
"The woman who designed your suits also made you both a whole line of everyday clothes for you guys to use so they'll come in handy." Helen said as Wall-e struggled to pull a suitcase a little bit smaller than him.
"What's wrong with him?" Violet asked confused.
"I dunno." Ventus replied as he approached the struggling robot and tried to pick up the suitcase but to no avail.
"Geez what's in that thing?!" Ventus asked as he looked at the luggage tag. It was labeled as being Violet's.
"Allow me." Shelke said as she walked over, picked it up with one hand and carried it onboard.
"Wow…she's stronger than I give her credit for." Argento mumbled.
"Well…" Bob said with a sigh as the Parr family came together in a group hug, "…me safe out there."
"You bet dad." Violet said with a nod.
"You can count on us." Dash said as they broke the embrace and they boarded the rocket ship.
Minutes later, the rocket ship roared into the stars and disassembled into a lone cone shaped craft with a small viewport on the front, two wings on the side, and four rocket boosters in the back.
"Ok Shelke…where do we go…you did remember to download the charts correct?" Argento asked as Shelke nodded.
"Affirmative. I downloaded them prior to the first launch back in Spira." Shelke replied as she looked at a few screens.
"The world closest to us with gummy ship facilities is Radiant Garden." Shelke reported after a moment.
"Ok then…it's off to Radiant Garden…but let's try and maintain a low profile…I don't much relish getting tossed in the pokey." Argento said as Shelke punched in the coordinates.
"I'm afraid that maintaining a low profile with this vessel will be very difficult. We have to rely on a crash landing in order to land this vessel." Shelke said as Argento face palmed.
"Now she tells me." Argento grumbled as the ship lurched into hyperspace.
A/N: We pick up where chapter 11 left off with our heroes on the Ragnarok in orbit over Radiant Garden.
At Radiant Garden…
Cid Highwind stood on the factory floor of Ansem Castle with a cigar hanging out of his mouth as added the finishing touches on a very familiar gummy ship.
Shera, Cid's wife, was in the control room monitoring his progress as Leon entered.
"How goes Cid's hobby for the last decade?" Leon asked as he saw the schematics on the screen.
"He's got only one percent of the ship left and he's done." Shera replied as TRON's voice echoed through the speakers.
"Attention…Gummy ship detected in orbit…identified as the WRO Ragnarok." TRON reported.
"Sounds like the WRO is coming by to pay a visit." Leon said as he headed back into the study.
"Rufus…just thought that you should know that the Ragnarok is in orbit." Leon said as he entered the study to see Rufus Shinra, formerly Rufus Ansem, sitting at his desk with the Turk Tseng standing over his shoulder. The former nobodies, Axel, Larxene, and Demyx were standing guard at various points in the room.
"Oh good…sounds like they've gotten all the bugs in her helm controls worked out." Rufus replied as a beam of light appeared and deposited several familiar faces that made almost everyone's jaw drop.
Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Luxa, Aqua, Mune, Vincent, and third class Lucrecia had arrived.
"Sora? Kairi? Roxas? When did you three get back?!" Leon asked in surprise.
"Recently actually." Sora replied.
"Roxas?!" Axel finally said as he saw his old friend.
"Axel!" Roxas said as the Flurry of the Dancing Flames just stared at him in shock.
Luxa in the meantime stood making faces at the former eighth member of Organization XIII.
"Luxa?" Axel asked confused as he spotted his former nemesis.
"Aqua?" Aqua asked randomly, receiving confused looks from everyone but Mune…who just snickered in amusement.
"What the (Naughty word) is that (girl dog) of a nobody doing here?" Axel asked as he summoned his chakrams.
"Wow Axel…I thought I was the (girl dog) of the nobodies." Larxene sniped.
"Trust me Larx…she makes you seem like Kairi." Axel said as Kairi looked confused.
"Should I consider that a complement?" she asked.
"Coming from Axel…I would." Roxas replied.
"I never met her Axel…who is she?" Larxene asked.
"I was your replacement after you faded away…apparently Axel still hasn't gotten over his grudge from the last time we met." Luxa said with her arms crossed.
"And she's Namine's mother." Roxas added as everyone but those who knew already (Or in Lucrecia's, case didn't give a damn) stood stunned at the revelation.
"How is that even possible…No. How can a Nobody even have kids!?!?" Axel asked confused.
"It's because Namine as Kairi's nobody and I am Aqua's nobody…you do the math…oh wait I forgot that you can't even count." Luxa taunted as Axel still stood fuming and Larxene started turning blue from holding in her laughter.
"Oh I just found myself a new friend." Larxene said as she recovered.
"Sadists of the worlds unite." Demyx muttered.
"So what brings you back to the known worlds Sora?" Rufus asked as Sora and the others quickly explained the situation.
"You have kids?!" Axel asked for the eighth time that hour.
"Yes Axel…Namine and I both have kids…Sky, Sykx, and Lulu." Roxas repeated for the eighth time and very slowly.
"And not one of them is named Axel?!" Axel asked…mildly offended.
"He wanted them to be sane not traumatized Axel." Larxene replied with a smirk.
"My son's got red hair…Does that count for something?" Sora asked with a shrug.
"Yeah I guess." Axel pouted.
"None the less, we need to find out where these Unbirths are hiding out and stop them." Rufus said as everyone nodded.
"Yes but all the places I can think of are no good to them anymore. I mean the WRO completely demolished Castle Oblivion and the Castle that Never Was, years ago. The old Deepground base under Midgar is under heavy surveillance and is populated almost solely by salvagers and Soldiers. The Castle out there at the end of the canyon has been transformed into a tourist attraction and history museum. So the list of possible hideouts is a short one." Mune explained.
"I just wish I could remember that place where Xira led me all those years ago." Luxa said as Cid walked in.
"Well, well, look who it is…it's the prodigal sons and daughters of the Keyblade…or at least three of you…I wondered when you guys would show up." Cid said as he spotted the Keybearers.
"It's good to see you too Cid." Sora said with a smile and a nod.
"How's that ace shot Namine doing these days?" Cid asked.
"Fantastic…she's piloting the Ragnarok up there." Roxas replied.
"Well I'm sure ya'll will get a kick out of what I have out in the hanger…I just finished building it." Cid said as he motioned for the door. But before anyone could move, the ground shook violently for a moment then stopped.
"What was that?!" Rufus asked as he picked himself off the floor.
"I don't know but I'm going to find out." Tseng said as the group hurried out the door.
"Lucrecia! You stay here!" Vincent ordered.
"WHAT?!" Lucrecia asked outraged as she skidded to a halt.
"It's a direct order!" Vincent replied as Lucrecia started grumbling and stomped back into the study.
Meanwhile…
The conical rocket ship had landed in the canyon…or at least the cone part of it had, the rest detached and parachuted down outside of the Castle hanger.
"Now that was AWESOME!!!" Dash exclaimed as they unbuckled their seatbelts and headed for the hanger bay. The robots piloted an automatic cargo hauler with the suitcases and equipment scavenged from the old gummy ship off the landing pod.
"Cid always has some nice and large gummy ship lying around somewhere." Cissnei said as they walked into the hanger.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Lulu asked.
"A ship for us to keep running in." Argento replied as Cissnei froze as she saw the gummy ship on the factory floor that Cid had just finished.
"It can't be…it's impossible." Cissnei said as Argento scratched her head.
"Now that you mention it…it does look familiar." Argento said as Shelke nodded.
"Indeed. It appears to be either a carbon copy of the original or a newer version that looks like the old one." Shelke explained as the kids stopped in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Ventus asked as Cissnei smiled and pointed at the gummy ship on the factory floor.
"That there Venny, is the gummy ship I used to travel in ten years ago shortly before you were born…that is the Fahrenheit." Cissnei said as they stood in awe of the rebuilt old gummy ship.
"Oh that's where I've seen it before…" Argento said as she face palmed with a smirk on her face, "…I blew it up once."
"Yeah well…let's get on board and see if she's functional." Cissnei said as the others nodded and they set off for the gummy ship, unaware that they had been overheard and spotted by a pair of red eyes attached to a silver haired SOLDIER.
End Chapter 14.
Yep the Fahrenheit is back only it's a modernized version of it.
You are probably wondering right now who else is going to join the party. Well at least four are leaving and one is joining…but who they are will remain a mystery until the next chapter.
