It didn't take long for Tidus to get some food. Everyone watched as he gobbled it up, not saying anything. He soon got his fill, and set his plate down and looked at everyone and everything. He had so many questions, he wasn't quite sure where to begin. He looked up at the one with the brown hair and scar across his face, Leon? Was it? He wasn't sure. He looked up at him and thought for a moment before he spoke.
"How…how did you know who I was…?" He asked them all, moving his gaze from Leon to the others. "I've never met any of you before…how could you possibly know what happened to me…?"
Leon sighed softly, he knew Tidus was going to ask these questions. Leon walked across the room silent for a moment, passing by Tidus and leaned up against the far wall.
"This world…"
" Is connected…tide to the darkness…soon to be completely eclipsed…" Cat muttered out loud. Leon blinked and turned to her.
"How the hell did you know that?" Leon asked her slightly confused.
"uhh...ESP?"
There was a small pause in the conversation before Leon turned back to Tidus.
'Anyway…what she said is somewhat true…although not so much now…" Tidus looked up at Leon, you could tell he was confused. "Anyway…This world, your world…and my world…as long with Clouds'…all of us…we've all fought for our last wish…our last hopes…our final fantasy…for our world. And we've all…succeeded…to a point…our worlds had a special bond...we were separate…yet connected…somehow we were all able to gather in these two places…it's complicated…I won't explain that…"
"That's because you don't know…" Yuffie butted in grinning. Leon sighed, ignoring her and continued.
"We met some of your old friends…Yuna…Lulu…Wakka…and they told us…"
Tidus sat up quickly when he heard Yuna's name.
"Yuna? Is she here?" Tidus asked eagerly. Cloud shook his head.
"She saw you in a sphere and went out looking for you in Spira…" Cloud explained. Tidus's shoulders dropped down. "But don't worry, if fate plays out right…you'll see her again." Cloud said, boosting Tidus's moral. Tidus looked at Cloud and nodded, smiling as he stood up.
"So…who are all of you?" Tidus asked them all, looking at them.
"I'm Leon…this is Cloud, Yuffie, Aerith and Cat…" Leon said, motioning to all of them. Another meow came from Yuffie. Cloud shook his head and sighed.
"Let's get some rest…we have to leave tomorrow…" He said, crossing his arms and walking out of the apartment room.
"But why?" Yuffie asked him following him out with her eyes. Cloud turned slowly and looked at them with a placid, mako stare.
"They're here…"

Leon placed a firm hand on Cat's shoulder and shook her awake. Cat sat up quickly and looked around blinking. It was still night out, and the room was still dark.
"Leon wha…?" She asked him looking up at him, she was cut short though when Leon placed a hand over mouth. He motioned for her to quietly follow him as he stood up and walked quickly and silently to the window. He opened it slowly and wide enough for them to get through, he swung his legs over and motioned again for her to follow. She gulped, and walked over, sitting next to him. He put one arm around her firmly, and whispered for her to hang on. She did so, and cringed when he jumped onto a balcony to another room below them. He winced slightly when he hit, but he got over the temporary sting quickly enough. There was voices coming from inside the room they had jumped from, and Leon swore to himself. Leon tossed his Gunblade onto a adjacent balcony telling Cat to get onto his back and to hold on tight. He ran across the balcony, picking up speed and he jumped off landing onto the other one. He looked around quickly, there weren't anymore that were close enough to him. He turned and tried to open the balcony door, with no success. It was locked from the inside. He set Cat down he gently pushed her back a few inches. He gathered up his strength and kicked the door, shattering the glass. He grabbed her hand and ran into the room, ignoring the shouts from the people who owned the room. He ran with her quickly down the hall and out of the building. Cat's arm ached from him pulling her, but she didn't complain. Leon ran into a side street, only to find it was a dead end. He swore again and turned around only to find that several dark figures had the exit blocked. Leon glared at them and stood in front of Cat.
"Leon…what are those?"
"No idea…they're not heartless…none of those Unknown….I don't know what they are…but I do know they're the ones who attacked your home…" Leon pushed her back, stepping towards the figures.

He got ready to attack them, but they didn't move. He moved closer to them and paused. He could hear voices…in his head…whispering to him. He began to feel sad, weak…old…confused. He shook his head and stepped away. He could hear Cat calling his name as he looked up at the stars. His head throbbed. Leon's eyes slowly closed as he blacked out.
"Oh this is great…now what do I do?" Cat mumbled to herself watching as the figures started to move towards Leon. "Eep! Not good!" She ran over and stood in front of Leon, picking up Gunblade and aiming it, (with some difficulty) at the approaching figures. "Stay away! I have a Gunblade! And I have a educated guess on how to use it!" Cat said, hoping that it would work. The figures paused for a moment, but they continued to approach. She gulped, and pulled the trigger. She stumble back from the kickback, tripped over Leon and landed on his chest. She blinked as she sat on him, looking up in time to see that she had hit one…it made some odd noise before it disappeared. Cat tried to lift Gunblade again, but she was shaking too much to get a good aim that could hit.
"Your aim could use a little work…but not bad for a beginner." A voice said from behind the figures. Cat watched as each figure disappeared the same way the first one had. Another figure, but human, stepped towards them, his head bent low hidden by a hat. Cat looked at him, not recognizing him.
"Who…who are you?" She asked him, blinking. He looked up slowly and pushed up his hat, looking into her eyes. He looked at her sternly, but is was also filled with charm. He was silent for a moment, his arm still in a position to push up his worn out cowboy hat.
"I think I should be the one asking you…who are you, and why are you here?"
