Not much to say this time. The Tsviets are gonna have to get used to living in this new world. They might act a little odd because of that. Once again, I own nothing, except for the OC I mentioned.

I do not know how to do line breaks.

Destiny Islands was a nice community. It was peaceful, fully capable of supporting itself, and everybody knew each other. It was perfectly normal. No one could remember anything downright bizarre ever happening on any of the islands. Then a bunch of strangely dressed people showed up in the middle of town with weapons in hand. Kimihiro took a look at the shocked people and turned to Nero. "I think you chose a bad point to take us."

He shrugged. "I just chose the closest location."

"Hey! There are kids!" shouted Sora. He was technically the only child in DEEPGROUND. Elric and Chris were both much older than they looked.

"We come in peace," droned Chris. Several Tsviets looked at her in shock.

"Was that a joke?" asked Zakuro, wide-eyed.

"Well, it was the end of the world," said Elric, "I guess it could be possible."

"Odd, they look frightened," said Rosso.

"Yes, well, some of us look rather frightening, like Azul, Nero, and Elric to name a few," said Ash.

"It's probably the weapons!" said Zoro.

"Oh no! I am not giving up Tsukihime!" shouted Seren. Yeah, she named her sword.

Kimihiro sighed. "You do realize you're making them stare more, don't you?"

"Eh, that's their problem," said Kyo.

Weiss rubbed his chin in thought. "Maybe, but we are living here for now. We should try to get along with the locals." Then he turned towards said locals. "Greetings. We seem to have ended up on your island. Is there anywhere we could stay, preferably away from the general population?" This just got them all some more stares. He turned toward Kimihiro. "Well?"

Kimihiro winced at some of the thoughts he was picking up. "You don't want to know."

"At least the women here are cute!" said Rosso.

"She just made it worse."

"Rosso, be quiet until further notice," commanded Weiss.

That was when Sora decided to speak up. "Hi! My name is Sora! Can I play with one of you guys? Please? The only other kids in DEEPGROUND are Chris and Elric and they never wanna play with me!"

Kimihiro sent a mental message to the others. "They feel sorry for him so nobody say anything." This got some twitches, but they listened. Sora was now bouncing on the toes.

"Please? Please? Please?"

"There is that one house on the west beach..." said one man.

"Thank you, Sora you can stay here," said Weiss. The other 12 Tsviets went west while Sora stayed behind. He stared at the crowd. Then a certain boy spoke up.

"Your eyes look funny!"

"Riku!"

Sora stared in horror at the boy called Riku. He looked like Sephiroth, the ex-SOLDIER general. Sora did the most logical thing. He pointed, screamed, and ran off still screaming, confusing the crowd.

"What's his problem?" said Riku.

"It's your face!" shouted a certain hyper girl, Selphie of course.

"Hey!"

Sora suddenly stopped as something occurred to him. "Wait. He's a kid. He can't be Sephiroth," he thought. He ran back over and grinned at Riku. "Sorry, I thought you were someone else."

Riku gave him a look. "I look like someone you know?"

Sora decided it would be best to avoid this subject. "Wanna play? Please? I haven't gotten to play with any kids for forever!"

Riku shrugged. "Okay."

"Me too!" chimed Selphie.

So the kids all ran off.

"Cute kids."

Meanwhile, the other Tsviets had found the abandoned house they'd been told about.

"This place is a dump!" shouted Kyo.

It was pretty rundown. Elric grinned. "I can fix it up."

"You might want to try making it bigger," said Azul.

Elric nodded. "Good idea. Need to fit 13 in here. Someone's gonna need to get some supplies. I'm gonna need a lot of wood, nails, all the other stuff needed in a house." The Tsviets started gathering said materials from wherever. Several hours later found Riku leading Sora towards his new home.

"It should be somewhere around-huh?"It was the location of the house, but it had been completely repaired, and it was a lot bigger. The only visible Tsviet was Seren, who was currently trying to turn a boulder into gravel with her bare hands. "How did-"

"Sh! We don't want Seren to see us."

"Why not?"

Too bad this caught her attention. "Hm? Sora? Little Sephiroth?"

Sora winced. "Crap."

Riku raised an eyebrow. "Little Sephiroth?" Was this they guy Sora thought he looked like?

"About time," said Seren, "Weiss said I can't train any of the others since they were helping with the house, but you didn't do anything to help with it."

Sora's eyes widened. "Riku, run."

"Huh?"

"Block!" And then she came in swinging her sword. At least it was sheathed. Riku turned to run. Sora jumped to the side. "I said Block! Not dodge!" Then she started attacking again. From inside the house a few noticed.

Kimihiro twitched. "Weiss, Seren is attacking Sora and one of the kids."

Weiss nodded. "I know. She may be psychotic, but she knows what she's doing. She has never killed anyone with her extreme training. Even if it looks like that's what she's trying to do."

Kimihiro sighed. Of course Weiss didn't think that was a problem. "Can we at least have Chris on hand? I think that other kid's gonna need it."

"Agreed. He has no experience in dealing with Seren. He will likely strain himself due to the fear of being killed," said Chris. This caused Nero to narrow his eyes again. He did not want to have to transport the Tsviets again just because of something Seren did.

"I'll go break it up." He teleported outside. "Seren, stand down."

"I'm busy!"

Suddenly he was in front of her and knocked her down.

"I said stand down."

"Wh-Whoa..." Riku was rather stunned. Seeing Nero suddenly appear out of nowhere usually gets that reaction for the first few of times.

Sora waved. "Hi Nero."

Seren jumped up. "Are you serious? It's going to be next to impossible to get any training done here!"

Nero gave her a look. "You will simply have to deal with it."

Riku gave Sora a nervous look. "Is the rest of your family like this?"

Sora blinked. Family? He had been living with the Tsviets for about a year, and he was fond of them. He certainly didn't like the idea of them getting hurt. He'd even willingly given up a large amount of blood when it was discovered that the high amount of Jenova cells in his blood could treat Weiss's degradation. Sora couldn't really think of any of them as a particular family member. Except for Kimihiro. He was the overprotective mother, even if he was a guy. The other Tsviets were more like the weird/scary cousins you pretended didn't exist. "...Yeah, I guess they are."

"Huh?"

Sora laughed nervously. "Yeah, but some are worse than others."

Nero suddenly turned towards the two. "Come on Sora, Kimihiro made some sort of fish omelette. There wasn't much on hand."

"Okay. Bye Riku. I'll see you tomorrow." Then Sora ran into the house.

"That means you too Seren." She muttered something inaudible and walked into the house. Nero turned to Riku. "I apologize for her actions. I'm afraid she's quite insane."And then he teleported back into the house. Riku continued to stand there in shock.

"What just happened?"

Back inside, Seren was getting a lecture from Kimihiro.

"You can't just start swinging your sword at anyone who catches your eye! The people here are nowhere near strong enough to handle that. We're not in DEEPGROUND anymore. You need to remember that."

Seren glared at him. "You are not my superior."

"Actually, he has a point. Avoid it when you can," said Weiss. Seren pouted but didn't do anything to suggest she'd disobey. "We also need to fit in, so we should get some new clothes."

"No!" shouted Seren, "I am not giving up my uniform! I am a DEEPGROUND Tsviet and proud of it!"

"I kind of need to keep mine. Most shirts don't have openings for wings and don't have arm bindings, and I have a very good reason for those," said Nero.

"Fine. Everyone else has to get new clothes though," said Weiss. There were some mumblings. "Rosso, you have to get shorts at the very least."

"Darn."

"Small problem. We have no money," said Zakuro.

Zoro grinned. "I know how to solve that problem."

The next day found the Tsviets standing in front of the one clothing store on the islands. Ash was giving Zoro a suspicious look. "How did you get that much money in two hours?"

Zoro grinned. "Well-"

Kimihiro slapped his hands over Sora's ears. "I don't need to hear this! Neither does Sora!"

Sora was understandably confused. "Huh?"

"You don't get something for doing nothing," explained Elric.

"Let's just get this over with. I can't stand clothes shopping," said Kyo.

"Too bad," said Zakuro.

"Get something cute for Chris and Zakuro," said Rosso.

"Rosso, what did we say about this?" said Azul.

Rosso grinned. "I don't know. Remind me."

Azul rolled his eyes at this behavior.

"Let's just get this over with," said Weiss.

Sora got a white T-shirt, red shorts, and flip-flops. He was very happy with this. It was much more comfortable than his uniform. Some of the other clothes were odd though. Kimihiro had a white button up shirt and black slacks. Ash was wearing a blue jacket, a black shirt, and jeans. Kyo was wearing a gray muscle shirt and ripped shorts. Zakuro had a purple tube top and black hot pants. Elric was simply wearing a red shirt and black pants with boots.

"How can you wear those in this heat?" asked an incredulous Kyo.

"Prosthetic limbs."

"Only one leg is fake though."

Chris was wearing a green shirt and beige capris. Rosso had a tight red midriff shirt and really short denim shorts. Zoro was wearing a loose white T-shirt with a few buttons near the top, all undone, dark green, almost black pants and matching shoes and what appeared to be a green version of his sash. Azul was wearing simple denim pants a a gray shirt. Weiss was wearing a white wife beater and gray baggy pants.

"There, happy?" muttered Zakuro as she looked over her choice in clothing.

Rosso grinned. "I'm happy."

Sora was bouncing on his toes again. "Can I go now?"

Ash shrugged. "Go ahead."

Sora ran off. Kimihiro smiled "It's about time he had some friends his age." Mugetsu came out of his clothes and wrapped around his neck.

"Your pet is showing," said Zoro.

"Hm? What brought you out?"

Unfortunately, Selphie happened to be standing there. "What's that? It's cute!" Kimihiro's eyes widened. That was gonna take some explaining. Meanwhile, Sora had found Riku.

"Hi Riku! Do you wanna play again today?"

Riku nodded, although he seemed to be thinking of something. "Sure...I have a question."

"Shoot."

"Seren is pretty strong. Are most of the people that strong?"

"Well, most aren't that strong, but they're pretty close."

"What about you?"

Sora certainly doubted that. "I don't know. I don't think so, but Seren says she's gonna fix that. That really scares me."

"What about me?"

Sora blinked. "Huh?"

Riku got a determined look on his face. "I want to be strong. Do you think I could train with you?"

"I don't know why you'd want to, but sure." Honestly, who would willingly train with Seren?

"Great!"

Sora decided to warn him about some of the consequences. "Just get a lot of aspirin, and make sure to visit Chris so she can fix you up after Seren is done with you. She can fix the physical industries, but she can't do anything about how sore you're gonna be."

Riku nodded. "Okay, can we find her now?"

"I don't think so. She's in a bad mood right now."

"What do you wanna do then?"

"I dunno. What is there to do here?"

"We could always race for paopu fruit."

Sora gave him a blank look. "Paopu fruit?"

Sora was then given a lecture on Paopu fruit and how it was the greatest thing ever. Thus, started Sora's life on Destiny Islands. It would be seven years before it changed.

End of the Chapter.

Well, there's chapter three. Not too much, just Riku and Sora meeting and the Tsviets getting some clothes. It should pick up some in the next chapter. Until then, leave a review for me.
