Final Fantasy: Kindergarten Wars
The children of Matron Edea's orphanage sat in the middle of the grass field where they had once been playing Blitz Dodgeball so enthusiastically. Everyone of them now looked towards the ground with their heads hung low, a tear or two making it's way out of the corner of their eyes.
Their drive to win, along with the Candy Bucket, were now gone. The stone pedastal on which their trophy once stood was now empty, nothing to contrast it's dull stone color. The silence and occasional whimpering was too much for one of the boys to take. Ramza, a squire boy, stood up and addressed his friends.
"Are we just gonna let Sephiroth get away with our candy?!" he said with as much booming voice as his developing vocal cords could muster. "That candy was what made us work together in a team! Don't you guys see? Matron Edea wanted us to all get along. She thought candy would do the trick, and by god, it did!! So are we gonna let her efforts go to waste? We have to get that candy back!"
"I don't really like choklit," said a red haired cub. "It makes my tummy hurt."
"That's cause aminals aren't supposed to eat candy, Red XIII," Eiko said rolling her eyes.
"The point is, we need to get that candy back whether Red XIII can eat it or not!" Gray Edwards, captain of the Deep Eyes elite force, said. "I'm with Ramza. If that is the only thing that can make us work together, I wanna get it back!"
"Yeah!" Ramza added, "And do you really wanna let that Ultimecia have all of the choklits? Those are supposed to be for us if we get good on Edea's spelling tests!! And Ultimecia hasn't even gotten one word right!!"
Rinoa stood up. "You're right, Ramza," she said. "All they're doing is cheating." She turned to face the others and said, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm not gonna let some girl that can't spell eat MY well deserved candy!"

Down the street from the orphanage, a dark treehouse stood in the branches of a withering willow tree. Inside, maniacal laughter could be heard, produced by something unmistakebly evil, plotting to destroy the world.
"Hahaha," Kefka laughed. The child was dressed almost like a clown, with a feather sticking out of his gray hair, to his wide frill around his neck over his green cape. "Do you want to see my teddy, X-Death?" He held the bear in front of X-Death and it exploded into an assault of clothespins that started attacking the Black Mage.
"Owie!!!" X-Death cried, "Stop it, Kefka!! It HURTS!!!" He took a baby bottle and gave Kefka a solid thump on the head with it, but he was unphased.
"That's what makes you so weak," Kefka laughed. "You can't handle a little pain. And lucky for me, I have developed the ultimate weapon of destruction!! This teddy bear's secret weapon is the aresenal of clothespins it uses to pinch people into submission!! I will make an army of these and will rule the world!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Kefka waved the teddy in front of X-Death again, who ran crying into a mound of pillows for cover. Suddenly, the door to the treehouse burst open without warning, causing Kefka to jump.
"I have a better idea to take over the world," Sephiroth said, stepping through the doorway with Ultimecia and a bloody nosed Kuja by his side.
"Oh?And what is this stupid plan of yours?" Kefka asked.
Sephiroth snapped his fingers as Ultimecia brought the candy bucket into view from behind her back. "This is Matron Edea's Candy Bucket," he explained to Kefka, who now started at it in complete awe. "This is what Matron uses to give the children power," he continued. "Without this to fuel them, the children are powerless and we are free to take over the world!!"
A mysterious translucent tentacle reached out from under the crib and snatched the bucket, catching Ultimecia off guard. "Hey Phantom!!" she retorted. "That's OUR kandy! Give it back!!" She ran to the crib and looked under into it's enveloping darkness. She then ran back quicky and hid behind Sephiroth. "I don't like it under there, it's too dark."
"That's what happens when you have a ghost living with you," Kuja said. "I told you guys to throw holy water on him when he first showed up here! But NOOO!!!! Kefka always wanted a pet and Ultimecia needed a spelling tutor. I told you already!!! He ATE the tutor!!!"
"Shut up Kuja, or do you want another bloody nose??" Ultimecia threatened.
"What's this?" Sephiroth asked, analyzing the teddy bear.
"Don't touch that!!" Kefka warned, but it was too late. The bear once again erupted into it's mass of clothespins and attacked Sephiroth ruthlessly.
By the time the bear was done, his skin was covered with red marks. "Hehe.. that's my new weapon against Edea's children," Kefka explained laughing nervously.
"I..... think we can.... use it...." Sephiroth replied wincing.
