Thalkxene: Thalkxene!
Xejicka: Thalkxene! What are you doing here?
Thalkxene: I dunno, I just felt like hanging around.
Xejicka: DO NOT SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! On to more important things, I would like to thank SacredxMoon, Chezatheflowermaiden, and Dark Heartless Dragon. You guys are nice and courteous and if it weren't for you, I would not be motivated enough to continue this story. Unfortunately I have no idea how to e-mail you back with a thank you. So thank you. And Thalkxene, as your punishment for scaring me during the two prior chapters, you have to do the disclaimer.
Thalkxene: O, crap:
Disclaimer: Xejicka does not own the Kingdom Hearts Series, the Final Fantasy series or anything relating to them, only the original characters.
Xejicka: Thank you and enjoy the reading.

Chapter Three: Falling
Kathleen stared at the giant crater. "How can anybody live in such a place?" she asked Sephiroth. Sephiroth replied by grabbing Kathleen. With her in his grasp, he jumped into the black abyss that was the inside of the crater. How Sephiroth was able to jump so high and into somthing so ominous, Kathleen couldn't figure out. Everything she knew about Sephiroth, she learned from Jackie. But the problem was that Jackie never went into detail about explaining Sephiroth...
Jackie gasped for air after screaming for so long. With her mouth wide open, Axel threw a peice of sushi into Jackie's mouth. She gagged a little as it landed inside her mouth, but she chewed the peice of sushi and swallowed it. "Mmmm... Was that a California Roll?" she asked Axel.
"Yes," he replied.
"That's good sushi," Jackie stated with satisfaction as energy started to run through her body. She turned her head to Leah "Leah, what are you doing here anyways?" Jackie asked her red-headed friend.
"I jumped into the portal after that blue-haired Zexion dragged you into it," Leah replied.
"But I didn't even see you at school, and since when does Zexion dirty his own hands?"Jackie asked Leah.
"Since I called Xemnas, Mansex," answered Zexion as he entered the kitchen from a portal. "It's about time you woke," he said to Jackie as he walked toward the sushi.
Jackie laughed at the sound of Zexion saying Mansex (A/N: It's pretty clever how the letters in Xemnas also form the word Mansex isn't it?) She straightened up and stopped her laughing in order to ask a few questions and make a few comments, "Zexion, since when have you actually dirtied your own hands? I thought you would have tricked someone else to do your work."
"Since when do you know how I perform my actions?" He coldly asked Jackie, there was a hint of suspicion in his voice.
Jackie started to sweat, she had never even met Zexion before. There was no way she could tell him he was a video-game character, so she went into a desperation attempt to change the subject.
"How long was I out?" she quickly asked Leah.
"About a day or two," Leah responded.
"Oh," replied Jackie, releived that the desperation attempt had worked. "So Leah, why are you in the black cloak and how is it that you're on good terms with spike here?" she asked Leah as she pointed at Axel. It was very difficult for Jackie to pretend that she was ignorant of the organization and their conditons and goals. So far, she was doing a terrible job at acting. I have to find a library with old science journals in here, thought Jackie, that way I don't have to act like I don't know anything here.
"I'm in the organization's cloak because Axel and I visited Vexen, the scientist. His lab was freezing so Axel lent me a cloak. I got to know Axel after I arrived here, I met the whole organization while you were asleep, Jackie," answered Leah.
"Why did I wake up in a bed and not just one of Vexen's test tubes?" asked Jackie
"It's because I need an unfamiliar test subject to be consious before I start any experiments," Vexen answered as he entered the kitchen from a portal. Jackie felt chills run down her spine as Vexen walked towards the sushi. It was a little weird seeing people enter a room using dark portals.
"Any explanation why I woke up in a shirt that was so... honest?" Jackie asked Axel, she had an idea that it was of Axel's doing.
"That was Roxas' idea. The shirt was Namine's, she seemed happy to get rid of it for some reason," Axel said as he shoved another peice of sushi into his mouth.
"Is lunch ready?" asked a shy sounding girl as she entered the room via door. It was Namine. Jackie was releived that somebody (nobody in this case) actually used a door. "I'm glad I got here before the rush started," Namine said as she grabbed a small plate next to the sushi and piled some onto the plate.
As Namine sat down at the rather large table, another portal appeared. A teenager with spiky, blond hair appeared out of the portal. It was Roxas and he appeared to be dragging something heavy. "Hey, Axel! I've got the lighter fluid you asked for, I also found Demyx lying unconsious in the hallway. I have some ideas of what we could do to him after lunch," he told Axel with great enthusiasm. He was walking towards Axel as he was talking, still carrying what could be seen as the unconsious Demyx.
"Roxas, stop dragging Demyx and get some sushi," Axel commanded. Roxas did as told as Namone grabbed Demyx and propped him in a chair that leaned against the fall. Jackie and Leah started a conversation as more and more organization members portaled into the kitchen.
"So, Jackie, do you remember a few weeks ago, that conversation we had about a guy you would find date-able? That Axel fits your description! He has spiky red hair, green eyes and he's a pyromaniac too!" Leah told Jackie with a hint of glee in her voice.
"Gee, that's awesome1 Finally, I find a guy that fits my standards!" said Jackie. It was almost sarcastic because the description Jackie had given a few weeks prior was of Axel. "Look Leah, I need to find out why I'm here. As soon as I do, I gotta find Kathleen. I need to get get her before she gets killed, or worse, she becomes one of those Sephiroth larvae guys, I forgot their names. I can't live without that idiot, I just can't!"
"Are you a lesbian or something?" asked Leah
"What?" asked the shocked Jackie.
"Are. You. A. Lesbian?" Leahed asked, making every word clear.
"No, that's gross and messed up!" Jackie answered with anger and disturbance in her voice.
"Proove it."
"What do you mean proove it?"
"Make out with any guy in this room and enjoy it."
"No way, I haven't even had my first kiss yet and I certainly don't want to waste it on any of the guys in here!"
"Fine, you're a lesbian then."
Okay, okay, I'll make out with one of the guys in here," Jackie said with annoyance in her voice, finally giving in to Leah's demand. Jackie looked at her options and thought. There's Xigbar, but those scars are scary and he'd probably shoot me in the head. Roxas, but I don't want to traumatize him at an early age. Lexaeus, but he's so tall I would end up frenching his abs, gross. Axel, he's hot, but I happen to like my skin and hair the way it is, I don't want them synged off. Luxord, but that beard and mustache combo looks itchy. Marluxia - but I'd still be called gay because he looks like a girl. Vexen has a chin that could kill Jay Leno. Xaldin's sideburns are huge and scary. Sai'x death. Then there's Zexion. Wait Zexion! He's good-looking anf the worst he could do is knock me out with a dictionary again. (Jackie had already figured out that Zexion used his dictionary to knock her out because it was his weapon)
Jackie started to runtoward Zexion: her lips were puckered, arms were spread out, ready for a smooch. Unfortunatly, Zexion got out of his chair and out of Jackie's path. She dodged the chair but she stumbled and fell forward. Her face landed on Demyx's face, Jackie's mouth was wide open when she fell, the jolt of the fall made Jackie's tongue stick out and into Demyx's mouth. Jackie was making out with Demyx!
Like a fairy tale from Hell, Demyx woke up. Demyx stared at Jackie and Jackie stared a Demyx. They both jumped away from each other and screamed.
"GAHHH!!! It tastes like mullet water!" Jackie screamed.
"GAHHH!!! I've been raped!" shouted Demyx.
Jackie rushed over to the sushi. "Where's the ginger?! I need the ginger! It cleanses the palate after every bite of sushi, it should work on the accursed taste in my mouth!" she cried. Axel handed Jackie the ginger, she shoved it all into her mouth. Sweet relief was almost here. But the thing was, it wasn't ginger, it was wasabi.
Jackie felt a spicy, hot pain attack her tongue and throat. She started to bawl from the pain as she criend to Axel "What the Hell, man?!" Axel only laughed in reply.It triggered everyone in the room to laugh, except for Demyx, who was equally as embarrassed as Jackie.
A booming voice stopped the laughter. "All organization members report to the meeting area at once," Jackie couldn't catch what was going on. Almost all of the organization opened a balck portal, walked into it and disappeared. Axel opened a portal when Leah stopped him.
"Axel, can you open a portal back to my own world? I really need to get back home," she asked.
"Sure," he replied as he opened another portal for Leah. For some reason , he wasn't an ass-hole with her.
"Hey where am I suppossed to g-" Jackie was never able to finish her sentence. A portal appeared behind her and a gloved hand yanked her into it. Jackie was getting sick and tired of these portals.
All Jackie could see was darkness, then everything turned white and Jackie found herself in a large, circular room with thirteen very, very high chairs. She looked up to find that each chair was occupied by a person wearing a black cloak. Their hoods were on so Jackie couldn't tell which member was which. A familiar voice called out behind Jackie.
"Is it true that you, Jacquelyn, would be willing to do almost anything to save the one named Kathleen?" Jackie had chills run down her spine, it's been a while since anybody had called her by her full name. She got off the floor to see who was addressing her. The man was cloaked, but the voice was recognizable.
"Xemnas," Jackie said as she stared at him. "Why are you asking such a question?"
"To offer a proposal, that, in return for your heart, you can become part of the organization and we will save Kathleen."
"Why are you offering such a proposal when you could just easily take my heart and have things your way, Xemnas?"
"To give you a chance to decide," he replied.
"My choice is no. I said I would do almost anything to save Kathleen. Let me stay here with the organization and i will be their servant. Make it to where I don't want a heart and it's yours. But until then, I will serve the nobodies, in return for living here."
"Very well then, it is your choice, but we will not help you save Kathleen," Xemnas said to Jackie. "The meeting in dismissed," he told the rest of the organization.
Every member disappeared into a dark portal. Jackie looked around the room. There were no doors and she didn't know where of how to get out. She had no idea where this room even was. Her heart started racing and it almost exploded when a hand tightly gripped her shoulder. Jackie turned around to find herself facing Xemnas.
Kathleen was falling, falling into the dark abyss. She and Sephiroth had been falling for a long time, yet the forces of gravity hadn't crushed them . A blue-green glow shined underneath them. It grew brighter and brighter as they were falling. Kathleen finally felt solid ground beneath her feet and Sephiroth let go of his grasp on her. He walked away from kathleen. Kathleen looked at her surroundings. Everything was blue-green, like Sephiroth's eyes, the only things that weren't were the large masses of floating rocks that resembled small, floating islands.
Kathleen was interrupted of her gazing when she heard the sound of metal skid towards her. She looked down to see a katana resting before her feet. She picked up the katana when she heard Sephiroth say "Be prepared to fight," as he charged right at her with his masamune.
