Xejicka: Chapter 11! WOOT!!! After such a long time with writer's block. It's so hard and uninspiring.
Thalkxene: Xejicka may not update for a while because she's going to Florida to visit her mom.
Xejicka: I'll try to add chapters during those two weeks, but I doubt it. It may give me a chance to write more chapters and get over this accursed writer's block.
Thalkxene: I can't do anything to help because I don't have the skills and I'll make it to where Kathleen and Sephiroth marry and Jackie will marry Demyx. Then the story will be over as they fly into the sunset, living happily ever after.
Xejicka: WE DON'T NEED ANY PAIRINGS LIKE THAT! I don't even think Jackie will be paired off with anyone just yet, same for Kathleen. As for Sephiroth, I have some plans for him... I'm having so much trouble with naming the replica, I didn't think it would be so hard but it is. When you people reveiw, please, please give some suggestions, anything. Rikufanattic is the only one delivering, she's doing a flippin' awesome job and I like her names but there is a problem...
Thalkxene: Xejicka realized that she didn't think it through when she chose the colors for the replica's outfit and now she's paranoid that she'll rip off Devil May Cry in any manner. You better not be doing what I think you'll do with my Sephy!
Xejicka: I haven't played Devil May Cry, but I do know alot about the series. The main name I have in mind just doesn't feel awesome enough. Hopefully this chapter may spark some ideas.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts Series, Final Fantasy series, Vamo' Alla Flamenco or Melee. There's still no cross overs.
Xejicka: I will be ripping off rikufanattic, sorry. I'm going to put the name of the location to tell which character's story it will be. It's a good idea because I will not surrender myself to making individual chapters for each character, sorry to those that want it. My greatest sin is envy.

Chapter 11: Begining of a New Battle
Somewhere Near Memory's Skyscraper
Jessica was running as fast as she could. The army was right behind her. Matt came sprinting from the back, catching up to Jessica. He didn't know she could run so fast. Panting, he tried to talk to her.
"What weapon did you bring?" he asked her.
"Gun and a chain whip," she said, seeming unaffected from the running. "Take a left right here!" she shouted as she made a sharp turn that the army followed. suddenly, out of the sky it seemed, neoshadows started to rain upon the army and thus a battle ensued.
"Everyone! Protect your hearts and don't worry about the flesh wounds!" Matt shouted as he swung his dei katana. Jessica lassoed her whip around the neck of a neoshadow and swung it around, decapitating it as well as killing several heartless. Paul brandished a simple sheild and sword and gought gladiator style. Logan held out a guitar that he used like an ax. He swung it at a group of heartless, accidently hitting Liam in the crotch in the process.
"I thought this would end when I left Earth!" he shouted in rage and pain as he grabbed a neoshadow by the antennae and ripped it in half. He swung the two peices around, killing even more unfortunate heartless. The battle went on and everyone was getting exhausted.. It went on for two hours that either felt like seconds or an eternity. There were wounds on every person. Exhaustion consuming the beings. Some collapsed and were immeadiately picked up by larger, stronger people that stopped fighting and started to run.
"We can't keep this up! Retreat! If you get attacked, just keep running and hack away," Matt commanded. Without hesitation, the army ran away, Jessica remaining in the lead. Many twists and turns slithered about and the army was almost at the portal.
"There's the portal and it's big enough for us to fit into!" Sara pointed out in a hopeful voice. As sure as it was, the portal was within a short running distance. The army started to run even faster towards the portal until something big and black rose from the ground in front of the portal.
The black form rose and grew to reveal the giant heart shaped hole in its torso. All of those that had any experience with Kingdom Hearts (the game) recognized what this monster was. "A darkside?" Sara said with shock. Matt had fear in his eyes as he stopped running.
"Why do the big ones always attack before you leave a world?" he angrily asked as he furiously swung his katana. He immeadiately jumped at a height never thought possible as he hacked away at the heartless' eyes.
A rumbling noise suddenly became audible as everyone turned their attention away from the Darkside and to another giant monster. "Oh shit! A Twilight Thorn!" Matt shouted as he landed. The army was surrounded and to make matters worse, the portal started to shrink.
Inside the Castle in The World That Never Was
"Lee Ann? Spamdunculous? Ginger? Lee Ann, is it really you?" Jackie ecstatically asked. She had a friend named Lee Ann. Lee Ann always said spamdunculous and she preferred the name Ginger because she looked like a Ginger. Spamdunculous was her trademark word.
"I've always been a Lee Ann, but please, call me Ginger," the moogle insisted. Jackie quickly embraced her friend,
"What happened? Why are you a moogle? What happened to you?" Jackie asked, tears of joy were running down her cheeks.
"I was always a moogle, how do you know me anyways?" the confused moogle asked. Jackie's face turned into one of shock. It was obvious that her friend had lost her memories. It had to be that because the coincidences were too eerie. It had to be the Lee Ann that Jackie knew, only her memories were gone. Jackie had to let go and be grateful that her friend was still alive. So she did.
"Lets just play some Melee," Jackie said as she wiped the tearson her cheeks and slouched to the ground. Roxas pressed the power button. Axel sat between Jackie and Roxas and he picked up a controller. Demyx stopped playing his sitar and walked to the gamers. Immeadiately Zexion turned into water and splattered to the ground. The real Zexion walked out of a dark corner, snapping shut a book that was in his hands. "Of course," Jackie sighed as she drew her attention to the t.v.
For the next several minutes, Jackie, Roxas, Axel and Demyx were in heated battle that caused everyone else in the room to get very angry and disturbed. Not because the gamers were hogging the controllers, but because they just plain sucked at playing. It was painful to watch, but they still had fun and lots of it.
"Hey Axel, why'd you choose Link? I thought you'd pick Bowser out of all the characters," Jackie asked.
"There's something nostalgic about Link. He reminds me of my somebody's brother, he was a lefty," Axel replied, button mashing.
"Sweetness, I'm a lefty too," Jackie commented as she lifted her left hand. That move was regretable as Roxas seized this opportunity with success. The next thing Jackie knew, her character was thrown against the screen and died, for Jackie was out of lives.
"Sometimes I wish I was a video-game character," Roxas commented
"Is that so? I didn't think you would want to be one. What makes you say that?" Jackie asked nervously.
"Why not? You get to fight and never get tired. And in the end, you get to be the hero and you get the girl,"
"It really depends on what game you play. Unfortunately, real life doesn't guarantee you to be the hero. You're always the lacky, the bad guy or the nobody, no pun in-Gahh!" Jackie was cut off as she felt the force of a nobody throw her across the room. She landed in her bed, hitting her head hard against the headboard, putting a hole in it.
"That's it. You guys suck and I'm getting sick and tired of waiting for you to finish!" Larxene shouted as she cast lightening everywhere, scattering Axel, Roxas and Demyx. Almost instantly, Marluxia, Zexion, Namine and Larxene sat down and started to furiously play.
"Hey, we were still pl-" Roxas was cut off as three kunai hit the wall right next to his head. Jackie ignored this and took some time to examine her scars.
She hadn't been changed out of her old clothes, so she was able to see her stomach with great ease. There was a difiguring scar that nearly went around her entire waist. As Jackie stared at it, the memories of the incident rushed through her mind and she quickly turned her head away. She saw a sketch pad on the ground, obviously Namine's.
It was wide open, with a drawing clearly visible. The images of several people in a swirling vortex covered the paper. There was Namine, what looked like Mickey Mouse, a few white haired people, a couple black haired people and what appeared to be a woman dressed in lavish purple, as well as a few other people Jackie couldn't distinguish.. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned over.
It was one of Demyx's water clones, it had its hand held out to Jackie. Without thinking, she grabbed its hand and found herself dancing to Vamo' Alla Flamenco that was being played by Demyx. She was having a fun time as she laughed and giggled. She was able to notice that Namine was pwning all in Melee, a humorous site to most. Axel was still reading Jackie's red notebook and Roxas was listening to her MP3 player. All was peaceful and yet, fun.
Until the door sprang open. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Even Demyx stopped his sitar playing which led to his water clone splattering to the ground, soaking Jackie. She looked in fear at the man that made entrance into the room. She didn't even notice how wet she was. "Xemnas," she said as she looked at those fiery amber eys that burned into her soul.
Hollow Bastion
Kathleen signed her name on the sheet of paper in front of her. She smiled at he man across from her and shook his hand. "Thanks, Cid," she said to him.
"Don't forget to talk to Yuffie about fightin' lessons and the committee meetings," he added as Kathleen exited the building.
"Will do," she said before she shut the door and entered the bailey. The replica was leaning against a nearbly wall, his arms folded. Reno was on the ground waking up from a nap. "I'm back with our house deed!" she said enthusiasticly to her bodyguards. She waved the deed in Reno's face, slapping it, in a really annoying manner. Out of no where, he bit the deed, ripped off part of it and ate it right on the spot.
"What the Hell are you doing man?!" the replica shouted as he reteived the rest of the deed from Kathleen's hand.
"It's been a while since we ate and I need some food," Reno answered.
"Thank God you didn't bite off the signatures," the replica said as he flattened out the ripped deed.
"Kathleen, what took you so long?" Reno asked.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to convince a man to sell you a house when you can't even tell him who's going to live in it? I had to bribe the man and now we're almost broke!" Kathleen shouted.
"Let's just get some food. I think Reno here is about to eat his own jacket. Do we even have enough money for food?" the replica remarked.
"Of course, let's find a grocery store and get to our new house," Kathleen said as she started to walk away.
Reno and the replica followed suit, "Hey, Replica, we still need to find you a name. How about Rude?" Reno suggested.
"I'm not rude, just annoyed."
Twilight Town
Leah found herself face flat on the ground in a cobblestoned alley way. She had no idea how she got here, the last thing she remembered was leaving a world, she had forgotten its name. But this place, it definitely wasn't her home, or anywhere near it. She turned over and let out a yelp as she saw a woman that was lavishly dressed in purple stare at her.
"Hello, Leah," the woman said. Leah backed away the best she could. Who is this woman and what did she want?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xejicka: Yeah, I know I've had better chapters. I'm really hoping that my dreams in my sleep would offer some inspiration, but they all have been dreamless. I dunno why I had Reno eat the deed. It just came up and I felt I had nothing better to write.
Thalkxene: Have it where Sephiroth does something cool, I haven't seen him in a few chapters.
Xejicka: Maybe next time or the time after that. R&R, thanks for reading the chapter and please, anything for name suggestion. I'm looking for inspiration and it isn't coming.
