Hey, sorry for the wait. Thanks to Seru-chan and Neo for the reviews. Yeah, if you can think of a better summary or can guess the guy who pulled a gun on Yuffie, I'll add something of your choice to the next chapter unless I already had a place for that later.

Chapter 5

Cloud was propped up against the wall where he did most of his thinking since he the whole predicament with the heartless had ended.

"What's it like, Cloud?" asked a familiar voice from behind him.

"What?" he said back to the long dark-haired wielder of the gunblade.

"The light. You finally found it." He said back to him.

"No…" said the yellow-haired SOLDIER, "I never found it, it found me. It's weird isn't it. Sometimes you can be so sure of something and it just doesn't turn out. My light wasn't what I was looking for…It was what I was running from."

Leon stared in admiration at the depth of the words of someone who he once thought to be a total moron.

"What are you running from?"

Riku and Matt's gummi ship touched down outside of the city and Cid, Aerith, and Yuffie rushed to their aide.

Cid looked at the unscathed hull and said, "Thought ya said you was runnin' from the heartless."

"We did." Said Matt as he stepped out from the ship.

"What are you doing here!" shouted Yuffie at the lavender haired man. "Riku, how come you let him come along?"

"If it wasn't for him, a whole world would probably be dead." Said Riku.

"In that case come with me, I'll get you two healed up in no time." Said the brunette leading them toward the group's house.

On the way, Riku spotted a flyer posted on a telephone pole that showed a blonde guy with a fauxhawk and a purple haired guy with a dead man lock. He couldn't help but wonder, especially when the sign read The XII-2, live and in concert.

"Demyx and Zexion, I'd never have expected those two to ever be in the same place. Maybe we'll stop in for a visit at this little concert of theirs."

Unbeknownst to them, a short time earlier, the other group had come to Radiant Garden, only they had landed in the Intergalactic Gummi Dock and avoided the attention of their friends.

"So, uh, yeah, what are we doing here again?" asked Axel dull-wittedly looking around.

"Well, I really don't know. Riku just left us that note on the console that told us to come here." Stated Sora rubbing his head.

"Where do you think he is?" asked Leena.

"Knowing Riku…" Kairi began, but was cut off by Leena who said.

"Not Riku, Matt. He's never been here before."

"As I was saying, Riku probably took him to meet some old friends of ours here, he should be fine." Said Kairi resuming her earlier statement.

"Yeah!" Shouted Sora moving his lips into his stupid grin."

At Aerith's house, Matt was busy giving gardening tips to the brown-haired flower girl as Riku looked back and forth at his phone. He didn't know why, no one was supposed to be calling, and he knew that the rest of his friends had made it off the world safely, yet still he looked at his phone.

Within a short while, Cid came barging into the room shouting, "Where's that slimy ninja?"

"You mean Yuffie?" asked Aerith, turning from her flowers, "I thought she stayed with you."

"Yer kiddin' me! Do you not remember what happened last time?" shouted the blonde haired mechanic.

"Oh no, you don't think that she would do that again? I thought she said her ninja ways were behind her!"

"Whoa, wait a second, what's going on?" asked Riku tucking his phone back into his pocket and jumping into the conversation.

"About a week ago," Aerith began, "Yuffie decided to get some ice-cream for all of us."

"What's so bad about that?" asked Matt still working with Aerith's flowers, using a spell that made them grow incredibly fast.

"She decided that it would be fun to go on the prowl again and tried to mug this guy, only problem was that this guy didn't take well to being mugged and ended up mugging her at gun point." Aerith continued.

"Wow, Yuffie really is an idiot. For a while I doubted Sora, but now I see where he was going with that." Said Riku.

On the other side of town, Axel had strayed away from the group and decided to pursue a little food. After walking down a relatively secluded street for a short time, he began to hear noises, but of course when he turned around there was nothing there. Later he began to feel things brushing against him. By then it was really starting to bother him, so he decided that he would be the next one to make a move and cast an Inferno spell throughout the alleyway. He heard a shriek and brushed of his hands happily. That was until the ninja fell down on top of him.
