Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy, if I did, Sora would have jumped at the end, and the gunblade would be in every game. Thank you.

Ah, another week, another chapter. I hope everyone had a great holiday season, New Years is just around the corner. Then we enter 2006 and have to take the first two weeks to get used to writing 06 instead of 05, but hey, no big.

I've realized here lately I'm not giving any credit to the reviewers, when in reality, it's them that keep me going with this (that and the fact that I don't have a life) so I just want to say, thanks, to all those who have taken the time to read and review my story.

Now go, GO FORTH AND READ, then review! … or not, you know… at least read it… I'm gonna shut up now…

Co-Author: Dynamis: OH YEAH! ;)

Sora watched as the soldiers loaded a glowing figure into a steel container and hoisted it into the back of a truck. It was shaped like a human, a girl, but it looked like she was made of liquid glass.

"Commander! We're ready," yelled Helga from one of the trucks.

"Ok, just a minute," he said," Let's see, I know I'm forgetting something, I've got the cargo, the crystal, the crew, oh yeah." He suddenly swung around and hit Milo dead in the face which sent him flying several feet back," Look at it this way son, you're the man who discovered Atlantis, now your part of the exhibit." He walked back to the convoy.

"Let's move people!" he yelled getting into a truck.

"How can you all do this?" yelled Sora coming up next to Milo," you're going to kill these people." Everyone looked the other way.

"That was an order, not a suggestion," yelled Helga. A truck door suddenly shot open and Audrey climbed out. She walked over and helped Milo up off the ground. She shot a look back at the others. Vinny stopped what he was doing and walked over too. Then Cookie, and Mole.

"We're all gonna die," said Mrs. Packard climbing out of the truck.

"You can't be serious," said Roark looking back at the group.

"This is wrong and you know it!" yelled Audrey.

"We're this close to our biggest pay day ever and you pick now of all times to grow a conscience?"

"Hey, we've done a lot of things we're not proud of," said Vinny in his Italian accent," Robbing graves, plundering tombs, double parking, but no one got hurt."

"More for me then," said Roark going back to the truck.

"You're not going any where," yelled Sora running forward with his keyblade at the ready.

"No, I think I am," said Roark. He snapped his fingers and a group of heartless appeared. Donald, Goofy, and the rest of the explorers dived into battle. They defeated the heatless with little trouble, but the battle had provided enough time for Roark and the others to get across the bridge.

"We can't let them do this!" yelled Milo running for the bridge.

"Hold on a second!" yelled Vinny grabbing his arm.

The bridge suddenly exploded as Roark detonated the TNT that had been planted there.

"Okay, now you can go," said Vinny letting go of Milo's arm.

"This all you need, Vincent?" asked Cid as he helped hoisted the several bags and supplies into Vincent's gummie ship.

"Yes." said Vincent as he put the bags containing food in. A backpack suddenly came flying overhead and landed in the ship. Leon walked up and sat his gunblade in the back where the other supplies were. Cid gave Leon a curious look, and Vincent didn't pay any mind.

Kairi came walking to the ship with a backpack and placed it with the others. She noticed the gunblade and pack that Leon had placed in it.

"You're going Leon?" she asked with a smile. Leon gave a slight nod. She could tell he had something on his mind.

"That should do it," said Cid putting in the last pack," You guys must not know the term 'traveling lightly.' That one pack must weigh over a hundred pounds."

Vincent turned to head back into town.

"Go get anything else you need," said Cid putting a side off the ship," I'll have this Navigation Gummie installed in about ten minutes."

Vincent continued toward the town as if he hadn't heard anything. He walked into the First District. Something was always going on in the First District. Children were playing in the bright sunlight, adults were conversing about various subjects and concerns, and Aerith was selling flowers from her small garden back at the house.

"Vinnie," she said as he walked by," I need a favor."

Vincent stopped at this. He didn't turn to acknowledge, but Aerith knew he was listening.

"If you find Cloud," she said holding out a flower," Tell him I'm here."

Vincent quietly whispered "I will." and then he took the flower and put it in his pocket. He continued up the stairs toward the doors to the second district and walked into the synthesis shop and was met by a moogle.

"Welcome, sir," said the moogle," Can I help you, kupo?"

Vincent pulled a pistol from his belt and ejected a clip into his hand. He handed it to the moogle and pulled a bag from his cloak.

"This should be all you need," said Vincent.

"Just a minute, kupo," said the moogle running around the corner to the opening of the furnace. He returned a few minutes later with a large paper bag.

"That will be 500 munny, kupo," said the moogle handing Vincent the bag. He paid the moogle and left.

"Thank you for your business, kupo," yelled the moogle after him.

Vincent loaded a clip into his pistol and replaced it in his belt. Cid was just replacing the side panel on the ship as Vincent approached. Leon was sitting with Kairi ready to go.

Vincent climbed in and closed the hatch.
