~*Somewhere in Hollow Bastion*~
"Take that!" Leon dodged a ninja star as it whizzed swiftly by his ear.
"Easy Yuffie, watch where you're aiming those things, " cautioned, even as he brought the Gunblade
down upon a Heartless's head and it dissolved.
"Sorry Leon!"
"Hm." Leon didn't respond, just grunted his acceptance. "Hurry, into the library!"
Yuffie hurtled through the library doors after Leon, collaspsing onto the floor with a relieved sigh.
"We are safe in here, aren't we?" She looked questioningly at Leon.
Leon leaned against a nearby bookcase and closed his eyes. "For now."
Yuffie stood, hands on her hips. "That's pleasant," she commented dryly. Leon opened one eye to stare
at the teen.
"You never said you wanted it to be pleasant. You just wanted to know whether or not we are safe in
here." The eye closed again, but Leon didn't need to see her face to tell he infuriated her. "The answer is
for now."
"Whatever. I'm going downstairs." Yuffie slid expertly down the railing and out of sight. Leon stayed,
unmoving, until a sound caused his eyes to open. Around him were at least thirty Heartless.
"Stupid Leon, " Yuffie muttered in annoyance. "Sometimes I think he--Uh. Oh." As Yuffie rounded the
corner of a bookcase, she stood face to face with a score of Heartless.
~*Rising Falls*~
The group materialized onto a platform at the botton of the uprising water. Ria shuddered as she
remembered all the time she had spent there. Sora noticed and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Goofy
noticed, and 'stumbled' (*cough*not*cough*)into them, knocking Sora's hand away.
Kairi shuddered as well. This place had it's own bad memories for her. This was where she had almost
lost Sora.
Donald interrupted her reverie but voicing their next move."We gotta go up." Sora nodded in agreement.
Ria surprised them all by taking the lead. Kairi gave her a dark look and Sora shrugged. Not one to be
bested, Kairi followed after the curly-haired girl. Making a bold leap, she flew towards the first ledge.
She almost made it, but ended up hanging by the edge of the ledge.
"Kairi!" Sora ran forward. He jumped onto the ledge and pulled Kairi up. He held onto her hands even
after she was safely on level ground. "You okay Kairi," He asked in a low voice.
Kairi began to blush. "I'm fine. Thanks for saving me Sora."
Sora smiled. "That's okay. No big deal."
"Hurry up, would you?" Ria's voice broke the spell. Sora dropped Kairi's left hand, but held her right
hand tightly.
He smiled at her kindly. "I'll help you."

Ansem continued to gaze into the orb even after Riku had gone. He smiled as he saw they travelers land
in the Rising Falls.
Riku appeared beside him out of the Darkness. "Have they arrived?" 'Please Ria, don't come!'
Ansem turned his smirk to the teen. "Yes. It is time for the plan to be set in motion."
Riku nodded. I came to inform you that the prisoners have been recaptured."
Ansem nodded as well. "Good. Make sure they don't escape again."
