Teirra: impossibly long, last chapter was. Ooh! I just spoke like Yoda! How cool indeed, that was. Woops, did it again. Anyway, The first chapter is half copy/pasted from the original story of the third section, where everyone is sitting down to watch the whole movie of their lives, having started with Nari because Tally deemed it so. Therefore, Half of it isn't to my liking in literacy, since these halves were not done at the same time. Eheh.

Riku: We're up now! Instead of freakin' Shugo Chara cat boy.

*Ikuto sticks his head in through the door*

Ikuto: You're just jealous because she loves me more.

Axel: She definitely loves me!--Huggles-- No one else can have her!

Teirra: Get off of me, for like, two seconds, will you? Jeez, I do not own Kingdom Hearts, and never will, so let's get that straight, RIGHT NOW!

Chapter --Gale of the Hurricane 'Ranix'

My body refused to react the way I wanted it too. I struggled as my possessor set her sights on Axel.

I didn't want to feel what whoever holding me was doing. It was cold-blooded killing. As far as I could tell, Larxene was still breathing faintly, just as her spasms began to subside. It was as if something was bleeding out of my skin and taking over my body, not leaving me anything left to work with. I only had my mind to control as I watched from the sidelines.

I was afraid. What if I never got control again? Ice crept along my thoughts, as even there, the voice was attacking me. She was taking over! I didn't like anything that was superior to me, though many things were. That was my strive to be better. But here, I couldn't even move my body.

Axel stood up, dusting his hands against each other as if shaking dirt off. Darkness covered Larxene when he snapped his fingers, and she dissolved into the portal. He straightened, and his shoulders sagged as he sighed. "This is troublesome." He said, moving his head back and forth as if he was saddened by this. "I hate getting in the middle of things."

His eyes turned on my body. It smiled deviously, but he said nothing. "Want to fight too?"

"Not really. I don't like to get serious." He shrugged, crossing his arms again. "Larxene has a short temper, so I guess it serves her right. What I want is for you to tell me exactly what you are." He ordered, eyes going from their strange neon green to a normal shade of light emerald as he narrowed his eyes.

The way he said it made me feel like a child being asked by there father if they'd done pot recently. I didn't like it.

My hand flew up to my cheek, and the ice-voice laughed. "Oh, you know what I am. As if this doesn't give it away." She pointed to the emblem on the cheekbone. "But, if you want to call me by my name, you have to call me Ranix."

Again, that recognition burned into his eyes. "You're Between. You're the Heartless Xallian." He said matter-of-factly. For a moment, some expression crossed his face, but it was gone, even before Ranix could see it. It reminded me of something I'd seen a log time ago, but what? "Then Nari must be Nallia."

What was he talking about? I was Nari! Not Ranix or Nallia or Xallian or whatever!

She shrugged my shoulders. "Partially." Then she smiled again. "I need to hurt just one more person to evoke her a bit more, then I can come out all the way." Her gaze began searching, and I began to see all of the vital parts Axel might just be missing in a few seconds.

I wasn't having it this time. When she took a step, I slammed up against her with all I could of my mentality and she falter, clutching her head tight. "What are you doing?! I thought you wanted this!" I took control again for a moment, grimacing as she fought me tooth and nail. "I don't want this!" I argued, and began to feel the pain in my chest again as my paralysis began to wear off, working down my body. It fluctuated up and down like a scale that measured sound in a drummer's garage, rising and falling with the beat of my heart as the rhythm. "I don't wan to hurt--"

She was raging from inside me, and I began to feel hot again, like a volcano. I shot a glance at Axel, who was watching with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Aren't you going to do something?" I asked, gasping as my nails dug into my head. "She's after you now!"

He frowned, eyes still leering though. "This isn't my fight. Are you going to do something about it?"

At first, I thought he was talking to me. That would make sense, seeing that since it was my problem, I should do something about it.

But then, I heard something cracking from the floor, and when I looked down, I heard Ranix hiss with fury. She took over my mouth once more to complain, "Stay away from her! She's mine, Nobody! Nari belongs to me!"

Ice crept along my legs, burning it was so cold. I could feel it crawling up, making my clothes bunch up in protest. When it reached my hips I was starting to realize that Ranix was receding from where she had control. If the ice touched her part of me, she retreated her power over that part of my body. I was so relieved by this, even if I was taken over by the ice with her, as long as she couldn't take me away from my body.

The ice was at my neck now, and I tilted my head back so I could still breathe. I wondered if it was ever going to stop, and I closed my eyes.

But it went no further. I was incredibly cold as I looked back down. The glass was formed around my body like a sculpture, close fitting and precise like an outer layer of skin. It sparkled in the light, and when I tried to move my arm, it shattered the whole spell into millions of shiny diamonds.

While I was marveling at this, I saw that my chest had been renewed back to normal, with only the flaw of one diagonal scar, like one-half of an X below my heart.

I heard a tap to my left, and turned thinking it was Axel, but saw that it was not Axel who had drawn my attention.

It was a girl so strikingly identical to me, I almost didn't notice the differences.

Her hair was gray, where as mine was pure white. Her eyes were a deep gold color, unlike Ranix's yellow viper eyes. They were unblinking, and almost empty-looking. Ice sparkled on her fingernails, like a diamond nail polish, and she flicked her fingers as she brushed her hair out of the way.

Axel stood on the other side of me. When he spoke, I turned my head towards him. "Well, well, well. I'm guessing you're Gallia?"

My eyes focused back onto the other girl, who said, "Gale. You're only half-correct."

"That's what the other one said." His eyes fell on me. "And you have no idea what's going on, do you?"

Hesitantly I shook my head, hand on my exposed scar. "I just want to go home."

He blinked. "I already told you your island was destroyed."

"But how is that even possible? Unless a nuclear bomb blew up in the middle of it." I argued, eyes stinging with frustrated tears. I rounded on Gale. "You were the one who stopped Ranix right? How did you get here? How did I get here? Where is here? What's going on?" I asked desperately. I was so confused right now. Who were these people he kept saying, and how can he be half-correct on who they were? Who am I, for crying out-loud?

Axel laughed. "Your face is priceless. Let me answer your questions. Gale was the one who stopped that demon inside of you. She got here by moving in the Darkness, like I do, and Larxene, and Marluxia. She brought you here," He pointed at her, and she shrugged when I glared at her. " 'Here' is Castle Oblivion, and apparently you're Between."

Nani?

I blinked. "What does that mean?"

"It means you've got a big job now." Gale's hand rest on my shoulder and I jumped. When did she move? "And we have got to go. Now.' Her eyes flickered to Axel, who was smiling peculiarly. "No." She warned, as if telling him not to even think about it.

He chuckled slightly. "Oh, Xemnas is going to love this." The way he said 'love' was like there was a joke involved, but I wasn't laughing. Obviously. "I'm afraid, Gale, you can't go anywhere."

She made a move to lift her arm, but she went rigid and flicked her fingers nervously. I saw sparks of fire envelope her fingertips. If she was in pain, she was a really good actor. "Axel, let me move." She ordered him.

He shrugged. "Okay."

I doubted he'd let her go so quickly, and my suspicions were proven correct when her hand on my shoulder dug in with her diamond nails, and she yanked me back. I couldn't move at all.

"That's not what I meant." She growled, unblinkingly glaring at him.

He came up to me, one hand near his face, tapping the side as he gazed at me close up. I shrank back on my own volition. He hasn't tried to kill me yet, but that didn't mean he wouldn't soon. Those neon green eyes were pretty, now that I saw him myself. He was definitely handsome. I almost giggled wondering how he kept his hair up, and he raised a dark eyebrow. I pressed up against Gale a little more, feeling the flames on her other hand close to my thigh. He was tall too, a good seven inches taller than me to be exact.

I began to compare him to Riku before my heart began to beat too fast. I didn't know how well his hearing was, seeing as how he had powers too. For goodness sake, he could probably hear it anyway.

Riku was about the same height as me, and his eyes were blue green, and his hair was gray. He was a good fighter, and more importantly, my boyfriend/step-brother, though we'd never seen each other as such..

I can't do this, no, no, no, no, no!

I was about to give up all hope when he smiled his crooked grin and stepped back. "No doubt about it; She's the real Nallia." His body-length Darkness portal appeared behind him, and he spread his hands wide. "If you'll wait here for about two seconds," He said it like a suggestion, but the flames on her fingertips didn't souse. Then, he winked at me, and disappeared.

A few moments of silence. "He's positively infuriating." Gale said flatly

All I could do was nod.
