Chapter I: Remember the Titan?
It was a stormy night over seas in the Destiny Islands. Water raged up on shores and rain poured down onto the island. From far off the Destiny Islands looked like the Cursed islands. Sitting near a window staring out at the storm was a young girl with auburn hair. Strapped to her back she had a thin samurai like sword but it was a tad shorter. Her eyes trailed off at black sky as she saw a small glimmer…
" Huh" Her eyes widen then squinted again to get a better picture of this odd light. She stood up out of her chair and stuck her head out of the window alittle.
" What's wrong?" Auron asked sitting in the corner as still as a stone.
" Huh oh nothing" Utada replied.
Suddenly the light flew down like a flying saucer. It stopped at the beach and grew brighter then all of a sudden the light disappeared. Standing where the light once glen was a boy in a beige cape. He had long snow white hair that got immediately soaked in the rain. The figure walked straight for the wooden house that Utada and Auron was in.
Utada couldn't make out this person, she ran for the door candle and blew it out cutting off all light into the building. Utada helped Auron into the back then waited by the door for the figure to come in. She unsheathed her blade professionally and swiftly so that it wouldn't make a sound. The door creaked open slowly and a shadow casted into the room. The figure walked in and Utada attached an Attack card to her Wakizashi while swinging it at the intruder.
He saw the thin blue aura of the blade just in time to block it. With his golden gauntlet he blocked out the attack then held the blade in his hand as if it was nothing.
" Hey is this how you treat an old friend?" A familiar voice said.
" Huh? Avalon?" Utada asked automatically recognizing his voice.
" Yea it's me" Avalon said he held his hand out and all of a sudden a ball of fire appeared in his hand giving the room light again. With the flame he lit all of the candles in the room. Avalon's appearance came as a shock to Utada.
(Later)
Utada, Auron and Avalon sat a table together over tea.
" So how have you been?" Utada asked.
" I've been doing fine, just researching" Avalon said.
" Have you see any of the others around" Utada asked.
" I visited Raithu he's deep into work as Princess Garnet's bodyguard" Avalon said.
" He's Princess Garnet's bodyguard… I remember I time when he was my bodyguard" Utada sighed.
" Well anyway I'm not here just to catch up on old times" Avalon said pulling out a black box from his cape. He set it on the table then slid it over to her.
" What's this?" Utada asked nervously. ' Hope it's not a wedding ring' she thought.
She opened it to see a platinum chain with the heartless sign on it also in platinum. Her eyes widened.
" Where did you get th…" Utada asked touching it. The second she touched it a strange vision flew through her head.
(VISION)
Fira was running through a large flower field with the keyblade in his hand. He was constantly looking back as he ran. Suddenly a huge black cobra with the heartless sign on it's back appeared infront of him. He turned around but Darkside was waiting for him.
Fira held up his keyblade while attaching cards to it.
Then everything turned white.
(BACK)
"AH! I seen…" Utada started.
"Fira" Avalon said.
"Yes" Utada said looking at Avalon strangely.
"What happened?" Avalon asked.
" He was cornered by these strange Heartless that looked like snakes…I've never seen those kinds before" Utada said. " He's in trouble big trouble! We have to go and find him"
" I'm not sure if we can" Avalon said.
" What do you mean?" Utada said.
" I've done extensive testing on this necklace and I've found traces of an unknown entity" Avalon said.
"Which means?" Utada asked.
" That Fira is in some other dimension" Avalon replied.
" Where did you get the necklace Avalon?" Utada said getting inpatient.
" Calm down Utada" Auron said sipping some tea.
" I can't Auron I've been waiting too long for Fira to come back, and I'm sick of it… I've decided I want to go and find him, which is why I took up sword fighting sir. I want to go and look for him… this is my first lead I can't lose it" Utada said looking determined.
" I just didn't find it someone had it" Avalon said.
" Huh" Utada looked alittle uneasy. Even Auron started glare abit at that answer. "Who?"
" I don't know his name, he was boy he looked no more than our age, he wears a torn up black cape over his body and he dances on air on these hover like shoes like skates." Avalon said.
" Did you see his face" Utada asked.
" No… All I seen when I fought him was a pair of blue eyes" Avalon replied. He turned towards the door. " I'm after this kid too"
" To get Fira back too?" Utada asked.
" No that's your job… I'm after him for my own reasons" Avalon said walking towards the door. "Here take these" Avalon tossed a small deck of cards at Utada. She caught them and looked down at them.
" I've never seen these cards before!" Utada said.
" They're a new batch… I found them while I was on my research hunts I have no use for them" Avalon said opening the door and walking out. Utada got up and ran to the door then opened it. When she opened the door Avalon was gone.
(The next morning)
Utada started to gather wood and take it onto shore.
" What are you doing?" Auron asked.
" I'm building a raft…I have to get off of this island" Utada replied.
" I've already arranged for your transportation" Auron said.
" Wha…" Utada said dropping a log on her toe. "OW…OW….OW….OW…."
"Here he comes now" He said.
Suddenly a huge Gummi ship shaped like the Highwind landed down on the beach blowing away all of the logs that Utada put down to build her raft with. The door to the Gummi ship opened and walking off was Cid Highwind.
Song: Cid Highwind Theme
"Okay Auron" Cid said walking off of the ship. "Where's the kid I'm suppose to taking around"
" Hey Cid!" Utada waved.
" Utada hey there long time no see" Cid said.
" Yea I know" Utada said.
" So I take it you're the kid I'm flying around?" Cid asked.
" I guess" Utada said looking at Auron.
" Let's get started then" Cid said walking back to the ship. Utada ran over and hugged Auron then walked off with Cid to the Highwind. Utada climbed aboard and looked around inside the Highwind was an enormous Gummi ship.
(Author's note: It's not too different from the Highwind in Final Fantasy VII)
She walked into the bridge where Cid had a grip on the wheel.
"So where to first kid?" Cid asked.
" Uh…well Avalon wants to travel alone, Raithu has a job…But Kuro and Kiako…what are they doing?" Utada asked herself.
" To Besaid Island it is!" Cid said cranking up the ship and taking off at full speed.
"Whoa" Utada said falling back. " Why Besaid?"
" It's where those two cats are chillin…Kiako and Kuro live in Besaid" Cid replied.
" How do you know?" Utada asked.
" I go out and pick up books for Kuro and take Kiako and her Blitz team to games" Cid replied again. " HANG ON TO SOMETHIN SHRIMPY!"
(At Besaid Village)
Utada walked off of the ship and looked around. In the center of Besaid Village was a crowd of people you'd think the summoner was in town. Utada walked over to the village center and heard the crowd whisper amongst themselves.
" Yea she's good…"
" What do you think she did help save the world"
" Is she better than Lulu?"
"Couldn't be"
"I wonder if she'll marry my grandson?"
Utada pushed passed the crowd to see a girl in a black mage suit with a short blue cape. She was floating in Meditation State in the air.
" Kuro!" Utada shouted running over and hugging her. Kuro dropped down having her meditation broken she was started to slap Utada on the hand to have her let go. Utada let go and Kuro fell dropping her hat. Kuro stood up dusting herself off while picking up her big hat and putting it on.
" Geez… I thought you were gonna kill me" Kuro said.
"Hi Kuro it's been awhile huh" Utada said.
" No…" Kuro replied. " Only a year"
" Well it's been too long for my taste" Utada said.
" So what are you doing here?" Kuro asked with a slight smile.
" I've got evidence that Fira is still alive" Utada replied.
" What" Kuro said stepping back abit. "What evidence where is it?"
" I'll show you but first where is Kiako?" Utada asked.
" She's out on the beach with the Besaid Aurochs" Kuro replied.
" Come on let666À66䘀66666㩁㝜㉈䡃繁⸱佄C?�6666666666.6(6A:7H2 Chapter I.doc6666?6666誘艝666666

" I've been perfecting my Black Magic use and also figuring out new ways to use Sleights" Kuro said. "Using Sleights is tough Fira made it look so easy"
" I know what you mean" Utada said.
" What have you been up too?" Kuro asked.
" I've been training with Auron to learn how to be a Samurai" Utada said.
"Any good at it?" Kuro asked.
" Yea I'm abit on average though nothing special." Utada said.
" It must be tough training with Auron" Kuro said.
"It is…He's really hard on me but it's just to toughen me up" Utada said as they walked by the waterfall near the hidden treasure box.
(FIGHT TIME)
A huge iron giant armor fiend jumped down from nowhere. Utada jumped back and pulled out her Wakizashi, she rushed the iron giant while attaching three attack cards. She flipped up and sliced him three times the attacks had no effect do to the fiends heavy armor.
"Utada stand back" Kuro said pulling out her staff.
"gotcha" Utada said jumping back.
Kuro pulled out four fire cards then fused them together into one sparkling card. The Iron giant rushed Kuro holding his oversized sword high in the air. Kuro then started to float in the air again with her legs folded. She held her rod up.
"Firaja!" Kuro said.
The Iron Giant was swallowed in a tornado of fire. Then fell back on his butt and disappeared into pryoflies.
(NORMAL MODE)
" Whoa Kuro that was great!" Utada said walking over.
" Yea it was wasn't it?" She said putting her staff away in her cape.
The two girls continued their walk on the bridge down to the beach.
"I know there's a Fire, then Fira, then Firaga…but I've never heard of Firaja" Utada said.
" Well I've just recently found out too… So far I've only master Waterja and Firaja" Kuro said.
They both were almost there they passed the ruins and got down to the white sands. On the beach was a girl wearing the pants part of the Aurochs uniform and a orange sleeveless t shirt with the words assistant captain on the back.
" Okay good… Keepa try bending your knees abit more" The assistant captain said.
" Kiako!" Utada called.
Her cat ears rose up high and she turned around. A big smiled grew on her face upon seeing Utada. She ran over and they both hugged like old friends should. The exact opposite of Kuro's reunion with Utada.
(Later)
" I see so this thing charm is from another dimension" Kiako said.
" And Fira is somewhere in this alternate dimension?" Kuro asked.
" Yea" Utada replied. " I came here hoping that you guys would help me find out where Fira really is"
" I'll go of course you can count on me" Kiako said.
" Thanks Kiako…Kuro?" Utada said as the both of them looked at Kuro.
" Hmmm… Well I have been longing for a new scene and I need to slap Fira one good time for cutting off our transportation home and making our entire jounery a complete waste…so I'm in" Kuro said.
" Really! Oh thank you guys so much!" Utada said bowing.
" Okay let's get going time to adventure around the world again" Kiako said.
" We'll get to that but first let's check out this new deck that Avalon gave me… I think he gave me this deck for a reason he said he had no use for it" Utada said.
" Well let's see em" Kuro said.
Utada pulled out the small deck in it was six DRIVE X cards and six Ability cards. They each split the cards and got two each.
" I've never seen these types of cards before" Kiako said.
" Let alone how to use them" Kuro said.
" Geez here I was hoping you guys were gonna figure it out on your own" Avalon said appearing out of nowhere.
" Whoa…Avalon?" Kiako said squinting her eyes. " It is you Avalon!" Kiako said running over to hug him Avalon held out his arm and pushed Kiako back.
" Sorry Kiako I don't do touchy reunions" Avalon said.
" Neither does Kuro apparently" Utada said walking over. " Here to tell us about the cards?"
" You deserve to know atleast what their capable of" Avalon said.
"Okay start explaining" Kuro said.
"Hmph…The silver cards…are called the DRIVE X cards. They have ability fuse techniques and magic even people if the bond is strong enough" Avalon said. " And the ability cards allows you guys to use a set technique... It's like a recording device. Once you perform a Sleight with that card in your deck it will automatically allow you to use that Sleight again without using so much time and cards."
" Whoa that's convenient" Kuro said looking at the ability cards she had. "And I know just the sleights to keep on stand by too"
" Avalon does the DRIVE X and Ability Cards work with Dark Cards too?" Utada asked.
" Yes but you really don't need use them when your dark though" Avalon said.
" So these cards work hand in hand" Kuro said.
" Exactly" Avalon said.
"Come on!" Kiako said doing a backward flip on the sand. " I'm through talking let's test these cards out!"
" Go ahead I'll coach you" Avalon said.
(FIGHT TIME)
Avalon pulled out a dark card and made a dark duplicate of himself.
" Okay girls attack the dummy" Avalon said jumping far back.
" I'm up first" Kiako said holding up three Haste Cards and a Triple Card." She then added the ability card to that fold and suddenly she created three duplicates of herself. " Haha Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
" Not bad" Avalon said looking at the duplicates. "Perfect dopplegangers not bad"
The three fake Kiakos and the real one rushed the Avalon dummy and rained punches on him. They beat down on the fake Avalon until he disappeared into black dust. Avalon ran out and held up another Dark card summoning another dummy Avalon.
Kiako jumped back then held out her Ability card, which now had a picture of three Kiako heads on it, Which was called the Kiako Triple Fold. She rose the card up and the Kiakos disappeared.
" I'm next" Kuro said stepping forth. She held four Fire Cards and a Pheonix Down Card and an Ability card she fused them together to then started to float in mid air. She held out her arms and stretched her feet out flying out of Kuro's body was a fiery Pheonix bird made of complete flame. It rushed the Avalon dummy and burnt it to a crisp... Kuro landed down on her feet and the Ability card she now obtained was the Pheonix Pinion Card.
" That leaves me" Utada said stepping forth. Avalon jumped in and created another Avalon dummy then jumped back out. Utada held up five Attack Cards and the Ability card. Her Wakizashi was covered in a thin red yellow and red aura. She rushed the Avalon dummy and sliced him two literally. The Avalon dummy disappeared and Utada collected her Ability Card…, which was the Zantezukuken Card.
" Good Good you guys have your first ability cards it's time to work on your DRIVE X moves" Avalon said. " Kiako you go first"
" Rightio" Kiako said. " Kuro!" Kiako said running forth, Kuro ran beside her. Kuro held up her ability card while holding up a DRIVE X as well. The both of them stopped running at the same time then held up their cards. A great light flashed…
Kuro flipped up and stopped in mid air floating there. The four Kiako's jumped up in the air and held hands around Kuro making somewhat of a circle while the fire pheonix flew around them creating a huge fire tornado.
" WHOA!" Avalon said holding up a barrier card to block the flames and the strong wind from pulling him in.
"AHH" Utada stabbed her Wakizashi into the sand to stop her from flying into the tornado. The tornado weakened then disappeared completely with Kuro and Kiako just standing here.
" Okay Utada it's our turn now" Kiako said.
"O…okay Kiako…" Utada said falling over.
Utada and Kiako ran together then jumped up in the air at the same time. Kiako held up her DRIVE X Card with her ability card and Utada just held up her Ability card alone. A great light flashed and when the light cleared standing there in a Blue kimono, white pants and black heavy boots with a long blade was Kiako or a samurai version of Kiako. Utada was gone completely.
Samurai Kiako jumped up and stabbed her Blade into the sand and explosions accord around her like mines. Then the white light flashed and Utada was standing there with her blade stabbed into the ground.
" Cool" Avalon said.
