Chapter Three

Cloud landed the gummi ship in a very ungraceful manner. It would be amazing if it could ever be lifted from the ground and fly again. Roxas noticed that he was gripping the sides of his seat and so hard that his knuckles had turned cold and white. Demyx was gripping Roxas' head whimpering. He released a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding in.

"Cloud, you did say you would fly if you wanted us to survive, right?" Axel asked dryly. "I mean, I was wondering about that after we hit the first three asteroids if you were just joking, or knew how to drive at all..."

Cloud glared at the red-head, "Well, you do look like you survived, and that's all I promised."

"Barely," Axel breathed under his breath.

"At least I found the right world..." he made a gesture towards the train station they had landed by. A sign that read "HOGWARTS" in big golden letters and a smaller sign with an arrow pointing up a steep hill at a castle.

Lerxene kicked open the bent in door, pulling herself out of the craft, "Do you want a medal or a free learn how to freaking drive class?" she snapped throwing a piece of the broken ship at Cloud, and dusted off her cloak.

Finally Yuffie and Demyx emerged from the ship, the latter looking slightly ill. Yuffie clapped him on the back, "Let's let Cloud drive again!" Demyx's ill look vanished and the two started to cheer Cloud on. He balled a fist, but said nothing. The rest of the group merely groaned.

"Looks like we're going to have to walk..." Roxas muttered, his blue eyes locked on the large castle.

Demyx eagerly ran ahead, "Last one there is a rotten egg!" he called over his shoulder. Yuffie bolted up the road trying to catch up to the skinny blonde, throwing the occasional ninja star at his back. He only yelped and ran faster, much to Yuffie's dismay.

"Who else would want to play along with their little game...?" Axel asked slowly picking up his pace.

Roxas shrugged and walked a bit faster, "I donno..." The two side-glanced at eachother and started to sprint up the hill after the sugar-high teens who had a head start.

Lerxene cursed, "Idiots!" Cloud only nodded. Lerxene sighed, rolled her eyes and continued walking "Of all the things I could be doing on a weekend, this had to be it..."

Demyx, shortly followed by Yuffie, Roxas, and Axel arrived at the castle and opened the tall doors. They had left the two blondes far behind, and let the door open a crack. For a moment they taunted Axel, calling him a rotten egg, until he set Demyx's pant leg on fire.

He yelped and jumped in a circle before dousing it with water. "I always forget.." he grinned sheepishly. He walked off to catch up with the rest of the group, his one pant leg scorched all the way up to the knee.

Axel just smiled and shook his head, "I don't think he will ever remember stop drop and roll..." he said with a slight laugh in his voice.

No one was about the halls, so they started up the grand stair. Demyx poked a picture and jumped back, insisting that the picture of an elephant had moved.

"But but but it diiiddd" he wined

"Pictures don't move," Roxas said bluntly.

Demyx pointed to the now empty frame. "Then where did it go?" he said putting his hands on his hips and staring at Roxas "Huh?"

Axel pulled a chocolate bar out of his pocket and broke off a piece and chucked it at Demyx's head. "Just forget about it." But, however, before Axel had started to speak Demyx's attention was already elsewhere.

"Blimy, Harry! I can't believe it! A whole three pieces of parchment for Snape's bloody potions class!" A voice echoed down a hall that crossed the one the four were currently walking down.

"Hide!" Roxas hissed. They panicked. Yuffie ran in circles, and Axel set a potted plant on fire while trying to think of a place he could hide. Demyx was still pre-occupied his almost gone chocolate. Roxas ran to the corner, he saw a group of black-clad student coming. "They're coming!"

Axel snapped his fingers, and opened a door to darkness. "Everyone in, now!" he ordered, they all ran at the door, knocking Axel over. Roxas was the last one to get to the door " Hey Axel get up, people are coming, this is no time for a nap!" he said grabbing Axel by the arm and dragging him into the door. It vanished just as the first-year students whizzed by.


Sora landed the gummi ship considerably better then Cloud had, since he had flown one many times before.

On the way there Sora had lost almost fifty more munny, but Riku had gotten him to stop, and threatened Luxord that if he so much as rolled on die he would die. Marluxia had almost convinced Leon that pink was a good color to dye his hair, but Vexen told him that if he tried it, the pink on brown would look like bloody vomit in his hair. That had been enough to convince him not to touch dye. There were quite a few more 'almosts', such as Riku almost threw himself out of the ship when Marluxia could not stop giggling. Luxord almost lost his life because he tried to rob Leon. And the list goes on.

Sora inspected a scratch in the light red paint where a small space rock had come in contact with the ship. Other then that it looked brand new, it even still had that 'new car smell' going on, as Marluxia had put it.

Leon picked up a small lizard by it's tail, swinging it back and forth a little. "What is this pathetic thing?" it hissed at him, showing two long pointed fangs.

Vexen took it from him and flung it away just before it bit down into Leon's finger "That, my friend, would be a dinosaur."

Riku smacked his forehead, "Why didn't you just kill it and steal one of it's bones?"

Marluxia's face twisted, "Because that's just oh so nasty! How could you say somethin' like that?" Riku rolled his eyes.

Sora ran over to a white tree jutting up from the ground. "Let's take this one!" It was in fact a very large and jagged tooth. He started to take out his munny bag, "Who wants to bet me I can pick it up?"

"Why did you pick the biggest one?" Riku asked.

Leon picked up a rock and watched the small bugs, and lizards scoot away to find a new hiding place, and tossed it behind him. He had named three so far, Louis, Peter, and Talleyho. He threw a brick sized rock behind him, and it hit something with a soft thunk, that moaned in pain.

He turned and saw a very big dino standing on it's hind legs with large fangs staring down at him.

Sora looked at the dino but then he saw something move behind the huge creature, it was Vivi. Who was walking over to a flower and bent over to pick it, but just as he reached out to grab it the flower opened its petals and closed them over Vivi. There was a muffled squeak, but nothing more.

Sora stared at the shaking movement of the flower before looking back at the dino.."Wow, this bites"

"And Leon seems to have found a T-Rex..." Vexen remarked dryly. He had pulled a small crystal bottle out of his pocket and pulled out the stopper. A green whisp of smoke oozed out the top, and he threw it at the rex. "Tuck and cover!" he yelled diving behind the ship. The rest quickly followed his suit, as there was a loud bang.

Sora peeked around the ship and saw a single bone laying in front of the wreck that had once been their ship. The dinosaur, however, was no more. He looked at the gummi ship and his jaw dropped. On one side it looked like someone had launched a rocket at it. The other side still had the small nick from that space rock, Sora just twitched.

"And that is why we don't make Vexen mad," a very cheery Marluxia stated his hands placed very high on his hips and shaking his head

Riku dusted himself off, "Well at least we have the bone, and it didn't take that long. We're probably way ahead of the other guys already."

Luxord looked at him, "Oh yes, I'm sure they don't have to rebuild their mode of transportation!" he frowned, "And if I guess right, seeing how Vexen so kindly destroyed any and all trees in the area, could take a very long time."

They all stood by the ship. As they looked out, they all saw that not only the trees were gone..but everything was. No animals, plant life..anything.

Sora still hadn't recovered, until Leon tapped him on the shoulder. "Is there anything on my back?" he asked turning.

"Not re..really..." Sora answered, his eyes widen as he saw that the only thing from the planet that lived must have been a huge bug with claws and fangs that taken shelter on Leon's back

Leon glowered, "Cloud would have told me the truth!" He walked off, the bug still hanging onto his back


Cat- A bug O.o

Hailey- Yes, Cat, a bug indeed.
