(The Pillows – Subhuman)
"Chris, we have to hurry! For Emily, Nina, AND Kelli!" Yuna stammered. She was concerned for her friends, and was a bit pissed that Chris decided to have the runs at this stage of the game. "Chris! You either hurry up or I'm going to go alone, get killed, and haunt you in your dreams!" Chris looked around. "Toilet paper… toilet paper…" Yuna shook her head. "USE A LEAF, BAKA-SAN!" Yuna screamed. Chris rolled his eyes. "Fine…"

Chapter 14: Murdock's Foul-Up
(Final Fantasy X – Secret Maneuverings)
A dark room in Yuber's Castle. Murdock stood there, her warriors bowing. She also had six rouges standing before her, in obvious disrespect. Not a bow, not a handshake, nothing. "You called for us?" The lead said. He was tall, lacked a shirt but had black jeans on, and carried a sword marked 'Psychotism.'
"Yes, I did, Psyche." She pointed to a girl in a blue jacket, short shorts, with blue hair. On her back was a boomerang. "..Mina." She pointed to another girl. This one was in all black. Even her hair was black, except for a few red frosting spots on the locks of hair. "Blaque…" She looked at a boy with green hair, and samurai garb on. "Ashura…" She turned to a boy in a purple trenchcoat, and blond hair. He had a pistol on his belt. "Qyyn." Finally, she looked at the one in back. He had a black trenchcoat, buttoned from his neck down, making what he wore underneath not visible. Oddly, he wore a belt over the coat, and on it were two Tanto (daggers), one blue and one red. "And Phoenix. I assign you to hunt down the group known as the 108 Stars. I will now give you their descriptions…" She was interrupted by Mina.
"First, what IS in it for us once they're dead? We're no volunteer group, woman, so pay up or fuck off." Murdock glared at Mina, and sent a Flare spell towards Mina, making it stop before it hit Mina's face. Mina's face turned white as a ghost. "You'll get your payment as soon as the job is carried out, you little wench. 100000 Potch per person, but if your insolence can't be kept to yourself, you'll be lucky if you stay alive." Murdock glanced to Psyche again. "As I was saying, here are their descriptions…"
(L'arc En Ciel – Niji)
Gabby ran back to Dengridst. She had to see what was the matter. But not without a little music. She took her CD player out of her backpack, and turned it on. The visor stated, 'Low Battery.'
"Joy." Gabby began fumbling around for her spare batteries. "Aha!" She put them in, and continued walking along, listening to 'The Pillows' while she went. As she walked, she had an odd feeling that she was being watched. She shrugged it off, but she felt it again a bit later. She took off her headphones. "Who's there?!" Gabby took out her bow.
(Final Fantasy VIII – Only a Plank)
"WOOOOOSH!" A giant shuriken flew just inches over her head. Gabby turned around, and got ready to fire at the girl who threw it. It was Mina. "Who are you?!" Mina snapped her fingers, and the other members of the Night Flare appeared. Psyche stepped up. "We're the Night Flare, and guess what? You've got a fat-ass bounty on your head. We want it."
"Really?" Gabby put an arrow into her bow. "Let's see… Die for your selfishness, or live to fight it…? I think the second is better!" Gabby fired the arrow, which Psyche CAUGHT. Gabby had an idea. These chumps aren't so bright, I don't think. I can distract them and jet. "Lookie here!" Gabby threw a baseball in the air. The Flare members watched it, and when they looked down,. Gabby was ahead by about half a mile. They gave chase, but Gabby was faster than them, due to the lack of protective gear she was wearing. However, she didn't get far before a pair of hunters stopped her.
"Miss, your head is ours." A teenage boy named Xavior blocked her way. He wore red armor, had black hair, and had a sword that had the emblem of a dragon on it. A boy that was behind him, Vapid, wore a black trenchcoat, and armored shin guards. He also had black hair and the same facial expression as his partner, leading to the fact that he and Xavior, were twins, though they shared looks and not much else. Vapid's weapon was also a sword, though it had the emblem of a snake on it. "Sorry, but we were hired for this. We need the money." Vapid stated. He was obviously more kindly than his brother.
(.hackLiminality – Humiliation)
"I'm stuck…" Gabby said to herself. No! I won't give up! I need to see Emily, I need to give them that phone call! She pulled out an arrow. "I probably won't be able to beat all of you, but I'll try to. I need to live to see tomorrow! To see my friends, and by God you're not gonna stop me!" However, her threat was cut short, as Vapid walked up to Psyche. "YOU!" All nine of the hunters yelled. They started bickering at each other. Gabby, albeit stupidly, watched in amusement as the professional hunters fought over who got to nab her.
"Well, I'm popular for all the wrong reasons." All of a sudden, her hand was grabbed by a blond boy with messy hair. He wore a black t-shirt with a white business shirt over it, and wore jeans. He carried a blitzball. "Ack! Who are you?! Not another hunter…" The boy, looked down at her.
"Nope. The name is Haruto Sakuraba. I was transported to this world because of a freak accident. I was on my school's football team, and while I was in the locker room, something happened, and when I awoke, I was here. I've been traveling around for about a week now. I'm gonna get you out of here." Sakuraba exclaimed. Gabby was thankful, but she wondered why he randomly decided to save her. "Uhh…" Sakuraba stopped her. "Shh, it won't be long before they decide to come after you! We'll talk later!" With that, he took Gabby by the hand. "Yeah, let's go."

(Final Fantasy VIII – Laguna's Theme)
Chris and Yuna arrived at their old home. It was a horrifying site. All the houses were being ransacked by Dark Soldiers. Chris and Yuna ran into the neighborhood, and went to the nearest house, that of Drew's. Inside, they knocked out a soldier, and cleared out the house. As they searched for any more opposing warriors, they heard a scream. "That sounds like Kelli!" Yuna stated. The sound came from upstairs, and that's where they headed. Inside the first room, Kelli was at a face-off with one of the soldiers, her spear ready. A slender girl, Kelli wore a white tank top and jean shorts, and had blonde hair with a pinch of brown in it. "Up and Around!" Kelli swung her spear up the soldiers chest, and around so it slashed him from left to right. "Had enough? This is our neighborhood, and we ain't giving it up!" The soldier scoffed and disappeared. Kelli faced Chris and Yuna. "Nina's around here somewhere! We have to find her! She's taking on five of those guys!"
"Yeah!" Yuna tapped into her Chi, and focused. She found Nina. She was at Chris's house, fighting two women and a man. "Come on, she's at Chris's house!"
Kelli joined the 108 Stars of Destiny!
--------------------
(Final Fantasy X – Challenge)
Inside Chris's room, Nina was at a stand-still with the attackers. Nina, a raven haired goth, wore baggy black jeans, had a red t-shirt on, and wore black boots. She fought with a dagger, the Tanto no Saint. One attacker, Mindcry, wore a purple tank top and navy blue jeans, and had blue hair. The male attacker, Jonas, wore a blue karate gi, and carried a sword with the emblem of an eagle on it. He had brown hair. Finally, Aquarius, a Zodiac Soldier, wore her blue kimono into battle. She had a blue hair tied into a bun, as typical for a geisha girl. Her weapon was, oddly, the Legendary Weapon, the Apollon's Harp, famous for causing tidal waves with one pluck of it's strings!
(Tenchi Muyo – Education)
"Nina!" Chris yelled. "You need some help?!" Nina gave Chris a death glare. "I… take it that means yes." Chris took out his bo stick, Kelli took her spear, and Yuna got out her ball. "Rondeu!" Chris spun his bo stick around, and it knocked the harp out of Aquarius's hands. Yuna grabbed the harp, and an evil smile formed on her face. Nina stopped her. "Now, now, Yuna, don't hurt them… too much." Nina got the same evil smile, and went to stand over by Chris and Kelli, who knew to stand clear. Yuna plucked a string, and Mindcry jumped from a shock sent through her body. Yuna plucked another string, and it silenced Mindcry, preventing her from using her magic or powers.
"Yuna!" Nina stopped the now psychotic girl from forcing her harp of doom to play it's bitter song. "Let us take care of the others. Jonas scoffed, but Mindcry and Aquarius both looked horrified. Mindcry teleported herself and Aquarius away. She glared at Jonas. He took his sword out, and slashed at the harp. The harp let out a sharp noise that sounded like nails on a chalkboard. Jonas backed off, and threw a shuriken at Kelli, who back flipped away. While he was focused on Kelli, Nina ran up and stabbed Jonas in the shoulder with her Tanto. He gasped, and held his shoulder. He grumbled, and teleported away.
(Final Fantasy VIII – Martial Law)
"You alright, Nina?" Yuna asked. "Yeah. I'm going with you guys… Nothin' left in this neighborhood now."
Nina joined the 108 Stars of Destiny!
"Oh! They forgot something!" Yuna held up the Apollon's Harp with an evil smile on her face. "We have one of the legendary 12 weapons! I bet with all of them, we'd be able to take on Yuber easily! I say we try to find them all!" The others nodded. "But who would use the instruments…?" Kelli raised her hand. "Pick me, pick me!" Yuna pointed to Kelli.
"I heard of a woman who had wicked-ass powers of music… Her name was Nyra! Maybe she could help us?" Nina shook her head. "I dunno. I've heard she's very meticulous about joining groups, but maybe she could help us find someone that COULD use this…" Nina was interrupted by a cell phone ring. Chris picked it up.
(Final Fantasy X-2 – Yuna's Ballad)
"Yo, talk to me!" Chris said into the phone. "Chris.. Emily, she had her soul sucked away, but Robin said that Nina could help it! Get her here quick! I'll teleport you!" Within a second, Nina and the others were in Dengridst. Nina walked over to Jeane, and the silver-haired vixen whispered into Nina's ear. Nina nodded. She, Jeane, Viki, and Robin all placed their hands on Emily's head, and used their magic to save the dying girl's soul.
"It is done." Jeane backed away. "The rest is up to her. It depends on her attachment to the mortal plane." Chris bent over Emily. "Emily… Live… We all want you back." She didn't move. Jeane solemnly looked down to the ground. "If she hasn't come back by now, the process has failed. She has died." Chris looked down at Emily's face, and he felt a teardrop fall from his eye, onto her face.

(Hitomi – Over the Sky)
"Is it raining…?" Emily was laying in a black room, and she felt a drop on her cheek. She felt another, and another, each time seeing more of real life. She finally opened her eyes. Chris's frown turned into a smile. She weakly lifted herself up, and into a hug from Chris. "I'm so glad… So glad you're back…" Emily hugged back. She embraced this feeling, this feeling of love for her friends.
