Chapter Fifteen: An Alien Sky
When they were finally on the other side of the portal they all found themselves laying on thick red grass. The sky above them shown green and the blue clouds floated around in the sky. All around them were trees covered in snapping lizards. They were not on earth anymore, that was for sure.
"Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," Pyro muttered as he sat up. His eyes darted all around the area until he spotted Pirika. He walked over and helped her up.
"This must be the alien home world," Ren noted, looking around. "It doesn't seem so bad to me."
The ground around them buckled and shifted but nothing else happened. Ren from then on it said nothing about the environment. They got away from the spot where the ground rose up and looked around. Nothing else besides the trees and animal life seem to be alive. How were they going to get out of this?
Ren flew up above the trees and he saw a city a few miles away. That was the direction they needed to go. He told them about it and they all agreed. It seemed like a good place to go.

"We're finally home."
Both Marluxia and C'rintri looked out the window, their expression excited. It had nearly been two decades since they had seen their home. The colorful landscape that they had seen when they were small once again stretched out before them. Marluxia had never felt more home sick.
"It's beautiful, isn't it C'rintri?"
Horohoro however was lost in memories. He still clearly remembered the first day that he and his sister were handing out together. It was so long ago but he still remembered.
(Flashback)
Horo remembered what his mother had told him. 'Go and find your sister. She needs to come home and take her bath.' He crawled his way down the tall steps, and then made his way out of the village. He could guess where she was, and she was most likely there. He had to hurry.
When he finally found his sister she was sitting on a frosty log, humming. Her bright blue hair was fighting to get out of it's braid and laid messily across her shoulder. He slowly inched closer until when she turned and saw him she screamed.
"Don't scare me like that Horo!"
"Sorry sis, couldn't resist."
He sat down on the log by her and she smiled. "Mom wants me home?"
"Yeah."
"Oh… I though so. But I don't like baths…."
Horo smiled at her. "Well, you'll have to deal with it, little sis. It's not like you want to be stinky, right?"
She gave him a dirty look. "That's right. But isn't there a way to not take a bath and still be good smelling?"
"No, now come on. We got to get back."
(End Flash Back)
"C'rintri? Isn't our home world beautiful?"
Horo blinked, brought back to reality by his comrade's voice. He looked at him and nodded. "Yes."
"I wonder how long they are going to survive here…"
"If they head to the city, forever if they wished it. But we will not allow it. Here is the place in which the final battle will take place."

Traveling across the tropical landscape was hard. The forest they had landed in quickly gave way to a rocky path, sharp stones rose up towards the sky. The white sun beat down on them and burnt their skin. They stumbled down the paths and felt the heat slowly drain them.
The only one besides Pyro that was unaffected by the heat was Ren. This place had no effect on him, well no negative effect. He felt energized and at home. He had no idea why he felt so alive on this strange world. He just felt a lot of strange energies around him that felt familiar.
"Ren?"
Ren blinked and turned to look at Pirika. "What?"
She looked away, her blue eyes shimmered unsurely. "Why have you been distancing yourself from me? You've been so strange lately."
He just looked away. "You do not need to concern yourself with it."
Her eyes darkened and she walked away from him in distress. She ended up bumping into Pyro and he put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry about that ass."
She smiled slightly and nodded. "Alright."
They found their way to a small hill top when the white sun set behind the horizon. They set up a small camp with what they did have and Ren deiced he would keep watch all through the night. They curled up close to each other and fell into a deep sleep.
Pirika shifted around in her sleeping area until she opened her eyes and sat up. She couldn't get to sleep, something was nagging at her. She looked around until she saw a shape hidden behind a tree. A young man with short slue hair and blue eyes shinned out and she shot upright fully.
"Horo!"
He put his finger over his lips and she covered her mouth and looked around the camp. Everyone was still asleep and Ren hadn't came. She then crept to the edge of the camp. Horo left his area behind the tree and ran up the path and she hurried to keep up with him. He led her all the way to a small cave and disappeared inside.
"Horo?"
She followed him inside and saw him straight ahead of her. He turned around and smiled. "Hey Pirika."
She hugged him, and he hugged her back. She just felt so happy, happier then she had felt in a long time. Her brother had ended up here too and now nothing bad could happen. He let her go though, and looked around the cave.
"What are you doing?"
"Just making sure this spot is private." Once he was satisfied he smiled at her. "How have you been?"
"Alright, mostly anyway. How did you get out," she asked, her eyes shining. "I was so worried."
"I had to slip out with stealth. But don't worry about that. And I can't come back with you yet."
"What?"
"There are still things I need to do. But I have come to give you some tips."
She took a seat on the cave floor, nodding her head. He joined her on the floor. "Alright. Tell me."
"The leader of the aliens, he chose this world. They are stronger here, but so is Pyro and Ren. He knows that and plans to make full use of it. Also your next opponent will come when you reach the city. His name is Marluxia, and he is dangerous."
"Marluxia… Is he that guy with the Iron Golem?"
He nodded his head, eyes shining. "Yes! I can't believe you remembered!"
"You should know me better then that."
He smirked. "Yes, I should know better then to forget your stubborn. Now keep in mind," he said, his face growing grim, "he is the third most powerful member of the invasion force. He is going to be tough, even if you defeat his golem again. I say you should use fire with him."
She nodded and leaned against him. "I'll remember. I missed you though."
"I missed you too Pirika. I'm sorry I had to leave like I did but I had to. There were things I had to deal with."
She just rested her head against him. He though moved away. "Huh?"
"You have to get back to camp, before the others wake up. Don't worry. We'll see each other again."
She nodded and walked back to camp. When she looked back, Horo was gone.
A/N: Ah… that was a fun chapter. I finally got to get Horohoro to talk to his sister again. And just to note, now we are just five chapters away from the end! I hope you can review to tell me if I'm doing a good job! And until next time! Bye!
