A/N: After a long time of writer's block I'm back! If any of you feel that this story is going too slow or not making any sense at all please remember that in order to do things right, one must be able to set up the story.

Well, I'm not gonna talk anymore so here it is, Ch.4

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the Final Fantasys. I only own Kit, Kythe, Seraph, Dess, Miako, and Christine.

Ch.4-The Keyblade Master and Company

"Crapohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap! Runningrunningrunningrunning!" Kit half muttered, half yelled as he felt the sting of icy cold slime hit his shoulder.

Kythe glanced at his friend and then at the stranger known as Leon.

"Just where the hell are we going? We're about to get over run and you don't seem to have an immediate destination in mind!" He yelled to the long haired brunette.

"Just hold your horses! If you've noticed, we're going in circles."

"What the hell for! Do you want us to die!" Kit shouted in anger.

"No, we just have to wait for the other's to finish getting ready…just a few more seconds." It seemed hours to Kit and Kythe.

Looking over his shoulder, Kythe saw the seemingly endless mass of Heartless and Aliens gaining ground. "Dammit! Where the hell are your friends!"

"NOW!" Shouted Leon. With that, he jumped high up in the air, easily clearing the single story buildings.

It took Kythe and Kit all of a second to realize what Leon had done, and they immediately followed suit.

"TRINITY LIMIT!" shouted three voices in perfect harmony.

It was then that everything around them was engulfed in a pure white light which impaired all vision whatsoever. The light continued to increase in brightness and all Kythe could hear was long, loud, anguish filled screeches that pierced the night air as bullet does the skin.

The wails magnified to such an extent that Kythe and Leon had to cover their ears in agony. After what seemed like ages, the light dimmed and the street that had once been occupied by hundreds of their enemies was completely empty, devoid of even the cold, sticky slime that usually accompanied Aliens.

It was Kit who spoke first.

"What in this god forsaken world was that!" Leon smirked.

"That was just Sora and his friends…doing their thing." He said.

"I've, never seen anything like that! Well…actually I have, but I've never seen anything capable of that kind of destruction not leave everything around it in shambles!" Kit was clearly dumbstruck.

Kythe merely let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, hell I'm tired. Need sleep!"

Leon chuckled good-naturedly, "Sorry about that scare there guys, just takes awhile to get them all confused. But once they are, they can't even think right. Follow me, I'll introduce you to everybody."

With that, he jumped off the roof and landed on the ground beneath.

It wasn't until both Kit and Kythe had made it down that they saw a brown haired teen who looked to be about their age, maybe a little older, with bright blue eyes, dressed in all black from his cargo jeans and black, short sleeved hoodie, all the way down to his black sneakers, and a strange weapon that looked oddly like a key in his right hand.

Next to him stood a small duck, decked out in a blue hat, as well as a blue vest and who wielded a bedraggled looking staff in his hand.

Then there was a tall, rather gangly looking…dog dressed in khaki pants and a white long sleeved shirt over which was thrown a green vest. This one wielded a broad, shiny shield.

Looking over to the key brandishing brunette, both Kit and Kythe noticed a thin, black haired teen next to him. She was wearing a pair of short almost beige shorts (insert Yuffie's description). She, in contrast to the other three, had no weapon, but instead had her arms crossed over her chest.

Finally, their eyes landed on a tall, muscular youth with pitch black hair and crimson red eyes. His attire wasn't as elaborate as the others; it was more down to earth, simpler. He wore a black tank-top and a pair of blue cargo pants with a set of black trainers on his feet. There was an odd looking mark on his right bicep that looked strangely familiar to the one on Kit's own bicep. It was then that he heard Kit.

"HOLY SHIT! SERAPH! MY GOD! SERAPH IS THAT YOU! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE STILL HUNTING WITH THE PREDS! WHEN DID YOU GET TO TRAVERSE TOWN!"

This was as out of hand as Kythe had ever seen Kit. He couldn't recall Kit ever telling him that there was someone else he knew that had also been taking in by the Predators. This seemed the only logical conclusion, seeing as you could only be blooded by a full fledged Hunter, and even then only after you had defeated one of the most advanced masters in a duel, or you had killed your first Alien by yourself.

Kit had told Kythe that nearly all the Predators had opted for the second choice, seeing as the reigning masters were incredibly skilled and damn near impossible to see, much less fight.

The black haired youth cracked a huge smile as he made his way over to Kit, enveloping him in a bone crushing hug.

"OH KIT! MY DARLING KIT! I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN! I WAS SO LONELY WHEN YOU LEFT DEAREST! NOW COME HERE AND GIVE ME A KISS!"

Even before Kit had time to react, he was being drawn into a deep bow like state, said Hunter bent over backwards and Seraph coming in for the kill.

The look of horror on Kit's face was too much for Seraph however, and he dropped his friend to the ground and started to laugh hysterically in uncontrollable fits of laughter.

"Oh…oh man! The look on yer face Kit! Oh god that was…t-that was p-priceless! Oh my god! You…you thought I was g-gonna do it didn't yah?"

As everyone in the street looked at Kit and saw his completely white face, none of them could hold back their laughter.

After a while, Kit got up and, without Seraph noticing, pulled back his metal knuckled fist and whacked him over the head with it.

Seraph's laughter died as he rocked back and forth on his behind clutching his head in his hands.

"Shoulda know you would still be the same sore ass I knew when you left! What'd ya hafta go and hit me so hard for? I was just messin' with ya?"

"Never. Do. That. Again. If. You. Want. To. Live." Kit growled out angrily, although if one observed closely, they could see the slightest of smirks tugging at the corner of his lips.

"W-well I hate t-to….oh man that was funny! But I think, we should keep the rest of the "introductions" until we get to Merlin's place! Especially if they're all gonna be like that!" announced the black haired teen as she tried to put on a serious face, "'sides, the Bugs will be back soon."

"Yuffie's right." Leon said, "Let's get the hell out of here."

"Dammit Leon! Did you have to go and spoil my introduction?" Yuffie retorted heatedly.

Leon simply shook his head, "Follow me."

They did so without saying anything, except for Yuffie, who Kythe could've sworn he had heard her mumble something about "arrogant bastards" and "their place in the thick of things."

They were just off the street when another shrill cry rent the currently silent air.

"MOVE!" Leon shouted.

Everyone obliged in full, as they were all now sprinting down a back alleyway.

"Why can't these guys just give it a rest!" Yuffie shouted as she struggled to keep up. Even though she was a ninja she wasn't as fast as the rest of the group, even the duck and dog were speeding ahead of her.

"C'mon Yuf! No time to ponder, just move!" shouted the brown haired teen as his feet pounded on the hard concrete streets.

They turned a corner abruptly, almost as if they were on auto-pilot. And that was when it happened.

"OH CRAP!" screamed Yuffie, her terror clearly evident in her voice. Kythe turned around, still in full sprint in time to see her fall to the floor and hit the ground head first with a rather sickening crack.

He was about to run to her, but someone beat him to it.

"YUFFIE!" yelled the brown haired youth as he quickly knelt by her side. Hurriedly he grabbed her arm and slung it over his shoulders as he picked her up bridal style. "Leon, tell Merlin to open up! She's hurt!"

Looking back at the long haired brunette, Kythe saw him nod as he picked his wrist up to his mouth and spoke into it,

"Merlin! Open up quickly we're in deep shit and Yuffie's injured!"

There was a crackling in response but Kit and Kythe saw a dead end at the far end of the alleyway that immediately took their attention away from the response.

"Hey, um…in case you haven't noticed," Kythe shouted, "There's a frickin wall in front of us! We're walking into a death trap!"

"Cool it kid," Leon barked over his shoulder, "We're not gonna die. Just trust me."

There were now several screeches all around the group, indicating that the Aliens and the Heartless were making their way down the stretch of barren alley via roofs, walls, street, and shadows.

They were within yards of the wall, which Kythe and Kit now recognized as a giant stone door when a warming, almost calming sensation passed through the both of them.

"What the…" Kythe started, but was cut off as the stone door in front of him opened, revealing a dark abyss.

"Jump!" said Leon as he did just that, and was immediately followed by the feathered one and the dog.

Kit looked to Seraph, "The hell?"

"Just think of it this way," Seraph started, "You can either stay here and possibly, and most definitely experience death or you can jump, feel a temporary sense of vertigo, and land in safety. Don't know about you, but I'd rather jump!"

With that he threw himself into the darkness and was followed by the brown haired teen, who was gently, but firmly cradling Yuffie to him.

Kythe and Kit both looked at each other.

"What do you think?" Kit asked.

"Well…if the fall doesn't kill us…we'll still be alive so…here goes nothing!"

As one, both teens flung themselves down and immediately lost their bearings in the darkness.

A/N: There we go! I finally updated this one! I really am excited though, I don't know what it was, but there seems to be a surge of inspiration for this story!

What that means is that I'm hoping to get the next chapter out by next week, if not then a few days after that.

Please I'm asking you, REVIEW! I need some bloody feedback! It was actually the latest review that drove me to put this chapter up! Thanks Mimi!
