Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts.
Wow, I didn't realize I was already this far into the season, I thought I had more. Oh well. Expect a few shorter chapters in the coming weeks, the climax of the season will be a BIG chapter, so sit tight.

"I was able to get the coordinates logged in," said Leon sitting in the side seat. Kairi was in the back. Vincent started up the ship and they were off. The screen acted as a GPS as Vincent piloted the ship. Kairi was looking out the front window as all the worlds went by.
"I wonder which one Sora's on," thought Kairi as they passed several more," I wonder which one is Destiny Islands." She continued to watch.
"They sure are pretty, aren't they?" asked Yuffie looking over Kairi's shoulder.
"Yeah they… Yuffie?" yelled Kairi turning around obviously startled," Where did you come from?" Leon turned around to look.
Vincent merely raised an eyebrow.
"I stowed away," replied Yuffie with a large grin. She sat back in the seat," So how much longer till we get there, captain?"
"About thirty minutes," said Leon turning back around, he thought," Too late to turn back now I guess."

"He's dying," said Sweet putting his tools away. He had been examining the king for injuries; Roark's punch had done a lot to his old body.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Sora walking in with Donald and Goofy right behind.
"Internal bleeding," said Sweet," Not much more I can do."
"Why don't I just cast cure?" asked Donald.
"The crystals have made it to were your magic won't work," said the king, he gave a sad look to Milo," Where's my daughter?"
"She's," he looked at his feet," She's with them."
"She has been chosen," said the king with a slight cough," Like her mother before her."
"Chosen?" asked Donald scurrying over to the group.
"In times of danger, the crystal will choose a host," explained the king," One of royal blood."
"Wait, choose?" asked Milo suddenly," So this thing is alive?"
"In a way," replied the king.
"Okay," said Sora," But what about Kida?"
"If she remains bonded to the crystal," said the king lying back," She could be lost to it, forever."
Milo turned away, and the king's face shown a look of pain.
"The love of my daughter is all I have left," said the king in a hurt tone," My burden would have become hers, but now," the king pulled his necklace with the small crystal off his neck and handed it to Milo," It falls to you."
"Me?" asked Milo taking the necklace.
"Return the crystal," said the king in a fading voice," Save my daughter." The king's body went limp and his eyes closed. The guards in the room bowed their heads.
Sweet closed his bag and took a deep breath.
"So," he said turning around," What's it gonna be? I followed you in, and I'll follow you out."
"Same here," said Sora. Milo sat down and hung his head.
"Well you can see how far my leadership has got us," said Milo.
"Well it's been my experience," said Sweet," That when you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up."
Milo looked at the necklace that had been given to him.
"Think about Kida," said Sora, his own mind going back to Kairi. Milo got up and left, everyone followed.
"Where're you going?" asked Audrey standing up. She, Vinny, and Mole had been sitting out side.
"I'm going after Roark," said Milo in a stern tone.
"That's crazy," said Audrey.
"I didn't say it was the smart thing," he turned around and faced them," But it is the right thing." He climbed up on to a large sculpture of a fish.
"Uh, Milo," began Audrey.
"Just follow my lead." Said Milo as he placed his hand on a pad and put the crystal into a slot. He turned it a couple times and the sculpture lit up and began levitating.
"All you have to do is," said Milo to explain, but Audrey had already climbed up Behind him.
"Yeah, yeah, I know," said Audrey putting her hand on the pad. The sculpture flew back and hit the rock wall behind them.
"Gently, gently," said Milo as the power died from the machine.
"Hey Milo," said Vinny walking up beside them," You got anything sporty? You know, like a tuna."
"How is this done?" asked an Atlantian man as a group began to form around them. Milo jumped down from the one sculpture and went to another. He demonstrated how to activate it to the Atlantian people.
"Saddle up partner," said cookie jumping on to one and spinning a shotgun in his left hand. Sora, Donald, and goofy jumped on behind people as more and more of the crafts rose into the air.
"I'm so excited," said Mole hoping up and down on one.
"Okay," said Milo flying out in front of everyone, Sora was sitting behind him," we're gonna save Atlantis, or die trying."
