Traverse Tragedy
The ship landed and everyone got off carrying their injured teammates. "Aeris started a good medical center near here, trained them herself. They came from different worlds that have been destroyed." Leon said walking past them.
"Miss Yuffie's condition is still uncertain, she is mortally wounded which has led her into a coma. All of your other friends are stable just unconscious." The nurse explained and Leon nodded gratefully. "Thank you so much." Tifa said. "It's no problem especially if you're friends of Ms. Aeris." The nurse replied and left. "According to where the ship can go next Hallow Bastion is the only place left to go." Cid told them from where he sat. They all looked up at him. "It's getting closer. The end........will be soon. We'll go home." Cloud said softly. "I wonder what happened to Sephiroth." Tifa mused. "I don't care about him!" Cloud yelled angrily. Tifa looked down. "He betrayed us!" Cloud said angrily trying to convince her. "The look in his eyes, so dull. It wasn't Sephiroth, it was like he was being controlled." Vincent said and Tifa looked over. "I'd hate to admit it but I really think it wasn't his fault." Tifa said. Cloud stared at the ground torn.
Vincent stared at Yuffie's helpless figure. "I know you thought I was angry with you." He said feeling a little foolish for talking to her, he felt stupid for even thinking she could hear him. "I tried to be angry with you but I........couldn't." Vincent said. "All you had done was thought I was dead and moved on. If I were really dead I wouldn't have wanted you to mope over me forever. I can't blame someone for falling on love with you." He whispered but she remained in her coma. "After Lucrecia (Spelling?) died I didn't think I would be the same. But you came long. You were so happy and energetic. You were everything I wasn't." he said. She still didn't respond. "You can't blame Rinoa for being angry though. Because when you realized I didn't die and that you had moved on I was hurt. It's not like I didn't want you to move on but what hurts me and Rinoa both is that you fall in love with someone else and forgot me. I can't stand the idea, you understand." Vincent said and sighed when he still didn't see her move. 'I knew this was a bad idea." He muttered and left.
Kairi slowly opened her eyes. "Wake up sunshine!" a voice said teasingly beside her. She turned to Sora and smiled. "Hey sleepy head. You've been out longer than us!" a voice said cheerfully. She looked over and saw Queen, Riku, Rikku, Tidus, Heero, Vincent, Leon, Cloud, Tifa, and Cid smiling at her. "A lot has happened since we've been out." Sora said gravely. She looked at him confused. "They've got all the other princesses including Aeris and Rinoa." He said and her eyes widened. "You're the last one." Leon said from where he stood. "We need to be careful here on out." Leon said and Sora nodded with determination. Suddenly screams erupted from outside. Everyone jumped and Cloud ran to the window. "There's Heartless everywhere!" he yelled. Everyone's eyes widened and they ran outside. There were Heartless everywhere killing people. Kairi clutched her stomach. In the mists of everything stood Maleficent. Everyone readied their weapons. Maleficent turned to them smirking. "Well, so far you've killed my minions yet I have all the princesses!" maleficent taunted and Sora growled. "Not all of them!" he retorted and Maleficent looked at him like he was a minor opstical. "Oh yes, we need to fix that, don't we." She mused and her gaze settled on Kairi. Relena and Sephiroth appeared at her side. Maleficent gave a swift motion and they flew forward. Sora jumped in front of Kairi protectively. Sephiroth easily flung him to the side and grabbed Kairi. Suddenly he roared in pain as Leon slashed his hand off. He stumbled back in pain. "One of the best things about being a heartless," Maleficent began and suddenly Sephiroth's hand formed back, flesh and blood, "Is invincibility." Relena appeared behind Kairi and grabbed her. Kairi tried to move away but it was too late. They were gone. "Kairi!" Sora yelled in fearful shock. He ran forward but she was gone. Everyone stared in dismay but then Cloud looked up. "They're gone!" he yelled angrily. Sora fell to his knees angrily and hit his fist on the ground over and over again.
Suddenly a crash was heard and everyone looked around. "The Heartless have reached the core! We need to get on the ship now!" Leon yelled. "But what about the people?!" Tifa yelled in shock. "It's too late for them and we couldn't take them to Hallow Bastion! I don't have time to explain but if we defeat the Heartless we can bring back anyone who the Heartless killed. Now let's go!" Sora shouted angrily and ran past them. It took a moment but everyone left, Vincent carried Yuffie. Leon stopped and turned for one last glance at Traverse Town.
Cid flew full power away from the world of Traverse Town barely escaping the deafening explosion of the world. Suddenly land and buildings began to disappear. "Our........home." Leon whispered looking at it disappear. Everyone stood silently. "How will we get Yuffie help now." Vincent asked angrily. "It doesn't matter. If you die now and we still beat the Heartless you'll go back to life in your home world. Everything will go as it used to be with us. The same timeline when the world disappeared. Same age, same place, everything back to normal. Our memories gone. But we'll still make it, all we have to do is win and seal the door........forever." Sora finished looking down. Tifa looked at him softly and moved to touch his shoulder but he stopped her. "We'll get Kairi back. I know we will!" he declared.
"Hallow Bastion is ahead." Cid alerted everyone. They all looked up. "Let's go!" Sora said standing up. Suddenly the ship shook throwing everyone against the wall. Rikku landed right in Cid's arms. "Why hello." Cid said grinning and Rikku smiled back. "You're pretty strong." She said. Suddenly another hit came and they were thrown against the other wall. "What's going on?!" Leon demanded standing up. "We're being attacked!" Cid said angrily as he ran to the controls. They all looked ahead as they neared Hallow Bastion The ship took another hit, this one much stronger than the others. An explosion was heard. "What was that?!" Leon said looking out the window. Another explosion. "They've hit the wing and back of the ship! We're going down!" Cid yelled and everyone looked on engulfed by a bright light.
"Are they all ready?" Maleficent asked. The Heartless nodded. Maleficent turned to examine them. "What's this? All the princesses are in their normal forms, I want them in their most powerful forms." Maleficent said angrily. "Turn the switch." She ordered and it nodded. Sephiroth turned as it grasped a red lever and pulled on it. A bluish color of light came over each tube the princesses were in. First Was Princess Jasmine, her turquoise Arabian outfit turned to her purple one with a sparkle. Next was belle, her normally blue town girl outfit turned to her enchanted yellow ballroom dress. Snow White in her dirty rags from her evil stepmother changed to her well- known yellow dress with the navy colored top. Pocahontas from her ancient Indian to her English ballroom dress. Next was Aurora, she was wearing her infamous dress as a daughter of the fairies which now turned to her blue dress. Alice remained........Alice in the proper blue dress with an apron though she did have a sparkle. Cinderella changed from her working worn out rags to her beautiful ballroom dress. After her was Kida, she changed from her ancient Atlantic outfit to her fancier one. Wendy, was well, Wendy. But she gets a sparkle too (A.N. – can you tell I'm a little happy right now?) Mulan changed from her manly armor to her fancy outfit for matchmaking. Ariel from her mermaid form to her human in a silver sparkling dress. Maid Marian went from her everyday royal wearing to her wedding dress. Jane was updated from her simple jungle attire to her yellow dress. Following Jane was Esmeralda. Her gypsy clothing soon became her fiery Festival of Fools dress. Young Megara received a warm glow to her pale skin, and then a sparkle. In another container was a younger one a little over Alice's age. Eilonwy's long blonde hair to her waist and her dress went from pink to blue. After her there was a young woman. Blonde hair, eyes closed. It was Reina. Her knight armor was surrounded by her long shawl and a (you guessed it!) sparkle! Jane was updated from her simple jungle attire to her yellow dress. Next was a girl with long blonde hair, Celes, who changed from her normal fighting clothes to her Opera House outfit. Then came Aeris, changed from her flower girl dress to her dress when saving Tifa from Don Corneo, Rinoa was in her ball dress, Garnet was in her white gown, and Yuna was in her wedding dress. Next was Relena, she went form her ball dress to her Queen of the World dress. Finally, came Kairi. She went form her beach outfit to her coronation dress, a long white dress with gold designs of the King Mickey Seal (sorry!) and gloves. (Now that parts over, are we relieved?) Energy gathered near the roof, taking a small stream of particles from the princesses. The light shot at the door form the ceiling. "It's opening!" Maleficent said gleefully. Suddenly the light stopped, as if it died. Maleficent was speechless. "What's happening?!" she yelled angrily. "It's obvious." Sephiroth said form the corner where he stood. "We're a princess short."
The ship landed and everyone got off carrying their injured teammates. "Aeris started a good medical center near here, trained them herself. They came from different worlds that have been destroyed." Leon said walking past them.
"Miss Yuffie's condition is still uncertain, she is mortally wounded which has led her into a coma. All of your other friends are stable just unconscious."
