Riku is pictured as he normally is...Only with a bit of worry on his face.

Cloud is pictured as a tired beach bum...You know, he's got that awesome feel, but that annoying I know everything look.

Leon is no doubt the pretty boy in this story. The vain cares about his looks guy. Very OOC.

Kairi is annoying and yet cute at the same time... Those it's Selphie you wanna hug and sqeeze...like a lil baby...

Tidus has his own awesome aura and Wakka is about the same, along with our beloved and evil Yuffie.

Aerith has this scary teacher thing going on. She's awesome, but really scary.

Cid is a loving grampa kinda character...Only younger...

CHAPTER ELEVEN: BELOW ZERO

As expected, the five guys woke with horrible hang-overs. Riku and Wakka swore to never drink again, and the other three took turns in the bushes.

"That stuff was horrible ya?" Wakka screamed in disgust as he winced each time a loud "ugh" was heard.

Leon look over his shoulder with a sickly smile at the boys. "You seemed to enjoy it last night," he laughed before quickly turning around and pushing Sephiroth and Cloud out of his way.

"I was just playing along ya," Wakka grumbled and looked over at Riku how seemed uneasy. "Is there something the matter?"

Riku turned to the concerned red head and shook his head with a smile. "It's nothing," he said softly, then his voice became irritating. "Alright you puke machines! Get a hold of yourselves and get ready! We are heading HOME!"

The three in the bushes nearly feel over in surprise. "You don't really...expect us to fight...like this do you?" Cloud roared in between "ughs". (I hope you all have caught on to ughs...lol...)

"Bah! If I can, you can! Let's go!" Riku barked back.

"You shouldn't force what little help you've got to hard Riku," came Sora's icy voice. Riku jumped at the sound. He was defiantly not ready to hear that voice. "What's the matter? Startled?"

Riku turned around and faced his friend. "What brings you here?" he inquired coldly.

Sora shrugged and turned his back to the five. "That depends," he answered coolly. "Are you going to attack me?" At the mention of "attack", both Cloud and Sephiroth regained their posture and charged towards Sora, only to be knocked away by a very angry Yuffie and Tidus.

"It figures that you'd try something stupid!" Tidus snickered evilly. "How cheap, and we only came here to talk."

"Tidus," Yuffie broke in. "Don't waste your breath. They aren't worthy of your words."

"Tidus!" Wakka exclaimed, shocked that he was now up against in best friend.

"Don't talk like we're friends," Tidus replied to Wakka's worried call. It was obvious that the blondes words had hurt Wakka deeply.

"Really, do you think I'd come alone?" Sora asked sarcastically.

"No, but it would have made things a lot easier," Sephiroth answered.

"What do you want?" Leon asked as he joined his group.

Yuffie hung her arm around Sora's neck and grinned. "Master just wanted to talk to you, that's all," she giggled.

Sora's eyes fixed themselves on Riku as the older teen approached the villains. "Where's Selphie?" Riku asked.

"With Aerith and Kairi," answered Tidus. "The girls are busy on a special mission."

"Hey blonde! You've changed a bit," Leon announced, as if nobody had noticed.

"That's what darkness does for you."

Selphie, Aerith and Kairi were all wandering around in an underground cave. It was dark, damp and smelt of fish.

"Where is it?" Selphie moaned loudly as Aerith led them throw the tunnels.

"You didn't think it'd be easy to find, did you?" Aerith asked, as she paused to read her map. "This way."

"Riku," Sora muttered. "With what light I have left, I'm going to help you this once."

Yuffie and Tidus stepped away from their leader, knowing that the real Sora was about to reveal their plans.

"Sora?" Riku asked in awe, not sure what to believe.

"My goal is to destroy all the good in this world. Everything that shines any light."

"Then why did you possess all the girls of the world?"

Sora smiled, it was a combination of sorrow and darkness. "There's far to much light for me to destroy alone, and men wouldn't be so willing to destroy innocent ladies. However, if you can stop me...Everyone in the darkness will be released."

Tidus and Yuffie both stared down at the ground in shame. Unable to stop their leaders blurting of information.

"There are some items that emit a grand amount of light, and if destroyed, light will never be able to regenerate. I will personally be destroying those items. At the moment the three girls are after a crystal in a nearby cave. Go now and stop its destruction, then keep it safe," after Sora finished speaking, he felt his body become heavy and fell to his knees. Yuffie and Tidus ran to his side and helped him up. When Sora looked at Riku, every bit a shine in his eyes had disappeared. He'd completely lost his light, and possibly his mind.

After Sora and the other two had left, Riku and company raced towards to said cave.

"Is this it?" Leon asked as he approached a large dark hole.

"It's big and dark!" Sephiroth laughed happily as he grabbed his comrades by their shirts and plunged into the deep hole. They all landed on a very happy Sephiroth, who was quite eager to save the light. "Come on guys! We need to save that pretty crystal!"

"Get a grip Seph!" Cloud ordered, as he crawled out of the pile. "We'd better hurry."

The group quickly ran down the tunnels of the cave, which was fairly straight forward, until they came to a large room. "Hello boys," came a creepy greeting from Aerith.

"Drop that crystal woman!" ordered Cloud when he realized what she was holding. Aerith smiled and released it, letting the gem fall to the ground.

Leon dove for the crystal but didn't get far when Selphie sat on his head, and both Riku and Wakka were busy trying to keep Kairi from falling off a rock and killing herself. Aerith was about to step on the gem with her foot when she was suddenly tackled down by Cloud. "Seph! The crystal!" the four busy guys cried. Sephiroth ran towards the crystal, but tripped over Selphies foot and ended up stomping on the gem, smashing it into pieces.

"Oh my god!" Sephiroth cried loudly as waterfalls poured from his eyes. "Mr. Crystal!"

"Your kidding right?" Aerith and Selphie both asked in surprise before cracking up at the scene, with Kairi soon joining.

"What did you DO?" Cloud and Leon both roared as they left their present posts, and began beating on Sephiroth.

"MR. CRYSTAL!" Sephiroth continued to wail, completely oblivious to the lumps forming on his head.

Once the five returned to Clouds cabin in despair, Wakka set off to the store where he had met Cid. The sun was high in the sky, and Cid was outside sweeping his pathway when he spotted Wakka running towards him. "Hey boy! How's your game doing?" Cid asked cheerfully.

"Not to well," Wakka answered in distress. "My friends taking it to serious."

"Ah well," Cid began as he stuck a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. "That's what happens."

"He said we weren't friends..."

"Ah, that's just a phase to, ya hear?"

"Yeah. I didn't know you smoked?"

"I didn't, but now I do."

"Why?"

"I don't know why..."

"It's not healthy, ya."

"Duh! Would I do it if it was good for me?"

Wakka laughed and placed his hand on the older mans back. "Do you have any smoothies today?" he asked with a grin. "I brought money."

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
