The Radiant Garden Tourism Committee

Chapter Eighteen: Traverse I

Yuffie leapt from the ruined Heartless ship. Even if the ninja was unable to pilot it, she took pride in the knowledge she managed to crash the vehicle. The ninja looked back at the huddled Heartless. Not a single one made a move to the door.

One shadow even waved 'goodbye' at the committee chair.

YuRiPa, floating beside the wrecked accessory shop, were huddled together in discussion. Yuna, a finger raised to the sky, turned to ask, "Shouldn't this town not exist?"

Yuffie rubbed the back of her head. "Well… It was made out of destroyed worlds, so…"

Paine, her hands on her hips replied, "We should assume we're all dead then."


Tifa walked around the dark, neon-lit, streets. Her eyes were closed as she 'looked with her heart.' She paused before the clock tower, opening her reddish-brown eyes. Sitting upon a ledge, was a man.

With messy blond hair. And an oversized sword.

"… Cloud."


The ninja looked up at the tolling bell tower. "Midnight? Or noon? It is always dark here." She could make out a pair of humanoid-things climbing up the side of the Gizmo Shop. "… Heartless?"

Her hand rested upon her crystalline shuriken. "Well, maybe I can 'borrow' their ship…"


Sephiroth swung himself around a lamppost. He practically giggled at the darkness around him. His voice, sing-song-like, declared to the world, "Look at my pretty pretty flower!"

The fallen angel was 'falling down drunk.'


The ninja took only seconds to aim her weapon. It struck the first Heartless, causing it to cry out, "HOLY #$&!" It crashed down towards the second one below, knocking both to the ground.

Yuffie ran to the damage, smaller shuriken posed to hurl. Then she noticed what the Heartless looked like… A dissatisfied Aerith sprawling over a very angry Tifa.

"Umm… Oops? You guys got a gummi ship?"


Yuna rubbed her hands together over the remains of the accessory shop… Crashing does have its advantages. Her hands rested upon a giant crystal… "This looks valuable!"

"I got a shield; ain't it cool?"

"Treasure hunting… Always interesting."


Yes, I am insane. But, I'd still like to hear what you guys/ gals think about this… Would you call it a plot?
