Thirteen Warriors and One Wicked Witch

Cid frozed, unsure of what to think as the red capped man stood there, in front of him. He seemed surreal, and Cid had trouble believing he was there. However, he'd always have trouble believe that someone like Vincent could exist. Fluorescent, pale skin with gleaming eyes.

"Vincent."

Vincent's golden eyes looked up and into Cid's sky blue eyes.

"Highwind." Vincent muttered in greeting. He wasn't much for words, but even if he had been, what could one say at that moment?

"Hey, Vince. Long time no see, eh?" Cid spoke, voice close to breaking. He just hoped that no one noticed. Aerith frowned as she placed her hand on Cid's shoulder, giving him some support. She figured it wasn't an easy thing to deal with.

"Vinny!" Yuffie grinned as she launched herself at him and hugged him, tightly.

"Where have you been all this time?" Tifa frowned, shooting a worried look at Cid, before focusing on Vincent once again.

"Glad to see you." Aerith smiled, tilting her head to the side.

"Just in time Vincent." Cloud spoke up.

"Yes." Vincent nodded, eyes locked on Cid, who had turned around and was talking to Sephiroth, who was finding every thing amusing. Vincent felt a bit hurt, but he pushed that aside. He had no reason to be hurt, not after all that Cid had been through.

"I think we should save introduction and reunion hugs for later." Leon muttered, eyes looking around. He was still feeling guilty about leaving his friends, but they all had a job to do, and now was not the time to sit around and wait to get caught. Leon knew they would be alright, and the least he could do was make sure that they did not die in vain.

There was a sudden roar and the buildings around them began to crumble.

Vincent quickly pushed forward and towards Cid. He pulled him into his arms and covered the two with his cape. Yuffie and Tifa grabbed Aerith, who raised her staff and cast reflect on them, causing the rubble to bounce off.

Demyx strung his sitar, a water shield forming around Axel, Namine, Kairi and Riku.

Cloud pulled Leon back and towards Sora and Roxas, a shield formed around them.

"What the hell is that?!" Riku cried out, looking up after it had stopped raining pieces of concrete. Demyx frowned and let the shield down, looking at all the rubble around them.

"I don't know, but it totally reminds me of Jurassic Park." Sora scowled, keyblade held tensely in his hand. Cloud dissipated the shield, looking around to make sure the rest were okay. Xehanort and Sephiroth lowered themselves back down to the ground.

They heard the roaring again and the sound of steps.

"I think we are in trouble." Cid grumbled as he pushed away from Vincent, squeezing his shoulder as a thank you.

"Might as well face it head on." Leon shrugged, making his way around the rubble.

………………

"Okay, so we heard roaring and stomping, but there is nothing." Kairi cried, frustrated.

All of the sudden there was another tremor.

"That is getting mighty annoying!" Roxas huffed, stepping next to Namine, eyes looking around for the source of the quakes.

"May be we should be heading into the castle, there might be something there…." Leon looked at Aerith who had read the book. Aerith shook her head, she hadn't managed to get far on the book. It was not like she had time to read at the moment.

They made it to the square, to find a huge monster waiting for them there.

Leon cursed under his breath, body tensing as he took a step back.

It was lion looking, wings sprouted from its back.

"What in the world is that?" Xehanort sneered.

"Griever." Leon muttered.

"It's real?" Yuffie asked, surprised.

"Apparently so, Yuffie." Cid rolled his eyes.

"This is not good. It took every single bit of my friends' and my strength to defeat it last time."

Griever roared, eyes zoning in on Leon. Before it could strike, though, six lances ended up embedded in him causing him to roar in pain. Griever was then thrown back by an ice blast.

"Aha! The little kitty can't take the heat! Or is it cold?" came the mocking voice from up a building. Every one looked up, weapons up and ready.

"I believe I promised to come when needed." Zexion's voice broke in. He walked into the square, hood off.

"You promised, we on the other hand do not have to be here." Marluxia sneered as he walked in, scythe swinging on his hands.

"No, but it gives us action!" Larxene smirked as she appeared next to Marluxia, juggling her knives from hand to hand.

"Zexion!" Demyx grinned.

"Calm, Melodious Nocturne," Saix spoke up, claymore in hand.

"Saix, did not think you would show up." Xehanort smirked.

"It was a group decision. I was outnumbered." Saix replied, a ghost of a smile on his lips.

"Of course! Now, where did that kitty go?" a hooded figure dropped down in the middle of the square, gun arrows in hand.

"Want to bet how long the lion will last against us?" another hooded figure stepped up, playing with poker cards.

"I do not have enough money to loose against you, Luxord." Another figure stepped up, tomahawk in hand.

"Yes, Luxord. Now is not the time for munny." Vexen stepped up from the shadows, shield in hand.

"Just because you always loose, Vexen. Just like Xigbar over here." Another person dropped down, lances floating around him, hair up in a ponytail.

"Shut up Xaldin, not like you have the courage to play." The hooded figure next to Xaldin took of the hood, relieving a grinning man with an eye patch.

"Lexaeus, take off the hood already." Larxene sneered but the last hooded figure did as told, revealing red hair.

"You are all here!" Axel cried out, surprised.

"Of course, we are. Not about to let this people win when WE lost." Marluxia sneered.

"Beautiful sentiment." Axel drawled.

The roar stopped the rest of the banter.

"Look, the kindom hearts left some sort of crystal. If you can activate it, all the worlds that have been taken over will go back to how they were, a balance of light and dark." Zexion spoke up, looking at Leon.

"Griever is not weak." Leon sighed, looking at them worriedly.

"Neither are we." Xehanort spoke up, going over to stand in the middle.

"We are the organization!" Demyx grinned, going over to stand next to Xehanort.

"Can't possibly doubt us." Axel smirked, standing next to Demyx.

"You guys head into the castle, find the crystal." Roxas spoke up as he moved through them and over next to Axel.

"Roxas?" Sora frowned, reaching out for him, but Riku stopped him.

"This is my, our, fight." Roxas smiled apologetically at Sora.

"We are the organization 13." Xehanort looked at them, arms crossed in front of his chest.

"13 against one, I like those odds." Namine spoke up as she walked over to stand next to Roxas.

"Namine!" Kairi looked at her, confused.

"I am part of the organization. They were and have been my family. This is their fight, it is mine." Namine nodded at her.

The Griever roared, signaling that he was making his way back to the square.

"Go now, we'll handle it here." Xehanort snapped.

"I don't want to leave you." Sephiroth stepped up, Masamune in hand.

"No, I'm trusting you to get that crystal." Xehanort stepped up and caressed Sephiroth's cheek.

"You may need help here." Sephiroth hissed.

"No, I won't. I can take care of myself. Now, go." Xehanort pressed his lips to Sephiroth in a quick kiss.

"Fine, I'll see you when I get back." Sephiroth muttered, stepping back and turning around.

"We'll make it quick. We'll come back to help." Sora looked at Roxas. Roxas hugged him and Riku.

"No, you won't. Just find the crystal for me." Roxas smiled, before stepping back and joining the others.

"Kairi, take care of the boys and yourself. You make sure every one comes out alive. I'll be waiting here for you." Namine smiled, kissing her on the cheek before going over to Roxas.

"Demyx! You better be careful!" Leon called out.

"Axel, please don't get carried away. " Cloud called out as well, before taking off.

………………………………..

"You guys ready to fight, once again?" Xehanort looked at them.

"Of course Superior, always ready to fight." Larxene grinned evilly.

"Calm down, Savage Nymph." Saix spoke, a smirk on his lips.

"Well, I kind of miss this." Demyx grinned, looking at the others.

"Well, the 13 are back in action." Axel smirked.

"Don't forget me." Namine sulked.

"Can't forget you, witchy." Xigbar grinned.

The Griever stomped its way over to them.

"Let's get this started!"

…………………………………………

"Do you think she'll be fine?" Kairi asked, biting her lip worriedly.

"She'll be fine." Tifa smiled at her.

"She's tough. Besides, the organization is not weak." Sora pointed out.

"Yeah, but I still worry about her." Kairi sighed.

"Look, the castle is up ahead." Riku pointed out.

………………………………………….

"Watch out!" Namine raced over and gave a potion to Roxas.

"Thanks." Roxas grinned, getting back and pushing Namine behind him.

"Dance! Water! Dance!" Demyx called out, sending columns of water towards Griever. Vexen stood up and froze the water before it hit Griever, creating a shard.

…………………………………………….

"The castle is huge, do you remember where it was at?" Leon asked Sora. Sora frowned, looking around the entrance.

………………………………………..

Marluxia jumped up, slashing down into Griever followed by Larxene who threw her blades at the lion.

Lexaeus jumped up, crashing down on Griever. Griever fell down, before jumping up and snapping at him.

"This kitty is keeping up." Luxord snapped.

"He is weakening." Xigbar snapped.

"So are we." Xaldin frowned.

………………………………….

"It is easy, just up the stairs. It was on the top floor, all the way to the top." Sora informed them. Clearly remembering what happened before, how could he forget. He shook his head to clear it.

"Let's go get that crystal." Vincent spoke up.

…………………………………….

The organization all looked at each other.

"I'm getting bored, I say we finish it." Larxene huffed.

Axel bent down and kissed Demyx on the lips.

"I never got around to tell ya, but I Love you to." Axel muttered causing Demyx to smile brightly.

"Awww!! How cute! I Wuv ya Marlu!" Larxene turned to Marluxia.

"I Wuv u too!" Marluxia winked at her.

Zexion rolled his eyes, but said nothing when Saix's hand squeezed his.

Xaldin grinned, placing his hand around Xigbar's shoulder.

Roxas reached over and took Namine's hand.

"From the beginning to the end?" Roxas smiled. Namine squeezed his hand, smiling as well.

"Don't even think about it." Vexen scoffed, but too late. Luxord and Lexaeus swung their arms around Vexen's shoulder.

"Every one needs loving!" Luxord grinned.

"Why do I put up with you two?" Vexen grumbled, before turning to the others.

"Let's finish it then." They all smirked as the powered up, releasing their most powerful attack on griever. Creating a huge explosion that destroyed many of the buildings around.

…………………………………….

"You heard that?" Leon asked as he stopped to look around.

"An explosion!" Kairi gasped. Tifa grabbed her before she could run out.

"We have to get the crystal." Aerith reminded them, looking compassionately at Sora and Riku. Sora stood there, eyes wide, unable to the process the fact that the others were gone. Riku reached over and placed a shaky hand on Sora's shoulder.

"Yeah." Leon nodded, unable to help a glance back the way they came. They had to keep going, they had to do it for those that they have lost.

"Too bad you won't be going anywhere from here." Came a deep chuckle.

Everyone swirled around.
