(Those Who Fight – Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children) Sora knew someone was expecting was going to attack them, since they were in Edge and all, but someone as crazy as Rosso? Not so much.

He didn't even have time to prepare a block attack by the time Rosso pointed her gun/sword at him and began firing off bullets. Thankfully, Kairi was a step ahead of the game and brought up a reflect shield, blocking the bullets as well as firing them back at Rosso. The red haired woman was prepared for this though and quickly jumped backwards, out of harm's way before she continued to fire at them. For a moment, Sora wondered why she would just fire bullets at them and not try and attack them with the sword part of the weapon, which could definitely do some damaged. But he figured she was trying to play the game safe, knowing that since she was facing two Keyblade Masters that she was at a disadvantage.

Rosso continued firing the bullets for several long moments after that, with her dodging each one that came back at her due to Kairi's reflect. Eventually, Rosso found out that firing bullets was not going to be affective, so she tried a new strategy. Running up to one of the walls, she jumped on it, running along the side of it at high speeds, before she jumped off, attempting to pin down her sword on the two. Sora and Kairi both brought up their keyblade's to block the attack and, once their blades made contact, they realized how necessary that was. The amount of strength she was putting down on her blade was astonishing, and it was clear to the two keyblade wielders that there was no chance they would be able to successfully block it alone. Sora and Kairi tried to push Rosso back, who looked like she was ready for anything and, with time, they successfully did so, sending her back into the wall she jumped off of, making the brick wall crack on impact.

"I am impressed," she said, standing back up before she dusted her shoulder off. "But can you keep it up?" She quickly pointed her gun at the two again and began to fire rapidly, forcing the two keybladers to dodge and run out of the way. Each time, the two heroes either dodged or blocked the attack with their keyblades, but eventually, it proved to be too much to them and they both got hit, Sora in the arm, and Kairi in the chest. Surprisingly, the bullets didn't even pierce the skin, but that didn't mean that the attack didn't hurt. While they looked at the wounds, Sora had failed to notice that Rosso had been approaching him, ready to hit him with her sword, but Kairi did. Quickly, Kairi brought up her keyblade and fired a blast of light at Rosso, hitting the red haired woman dead on. This allowed Sora to notice her and he quickly hit her, pushing her back and out of the way.

They could hear Rosso growl before she charged at the Keyblade Masters again, allowing her sword to glow of darkness. The two keybladers noticed this and prepared their keyblades for the oncoming attack. Rosso made contact with their keyblades instantly, trying to push it down on the two but they managed to keep it up. They both could see the frustration in Rosso's eyes and suddenly, she vanished. They both looked around quickly before she reappeared behind them, but thankfully, the two noticed this and blocked the attack again. Rosso did this several times for a few more moments, teleporting and reappearing from different angles in an attempt to attack the two. She never did hit them, but she did greatly fatigue them from the quick movements, running, and blocking they had to do during the battle.

Eventually, Sora and Kairi didn't know how much longer they would be able to hold her off and jumped back, away from Rosso. The two took in heavy breaths as soon as they did so and soon realized that Rosso wasn't going to back down anytime soon and, while they both knew they would be able to fight a little bit longer, they were getting tired. Moving their heads slightly, they looked over at Rosso, who began to chuckle to herself. "What, are the children getting sleepy?" She mocked.

"Oh we're just getting started!" Sora yelled back at her in between his breaths. She laughed again before she looked down at Kairi, who had her hands on her knees and was breathing heavily from exhaustion. The princess knew she shouldn't have jumped into a battle with her health like this, but Rosso really didn't give them a choice.

"Sure you are," her mock continued before she raised her sword again, standing firmly in her battle stance. "Now, time to—"

Rosso stopped talking when the sudden sound of a gun shot went off, and it didn't belong to her. Sora and Kairi were both equally shocked by this, especially since the noise came from behind them. They both turned around quickly and when they saw who it was, they thanked Cosmos.

"Vincent!" Sora and Kairi exclaimed as he looked at the gunman, who had his gun pointed directly at Rosso. He did not acknowledge Sora or Kairi in anyway and instead stepped out in front of them, holding his gun in a position that showed Rosso he was ready to fight her.

She grinned evilly at the sight of the gunman. "Just who I was looking for!"

And, just as she did with the two keyblade wielders, Rosso gave Vincent no time to prepare himself before she charged at him. When she approached him, she swung her sword at him several times, but Vincent managed to dodge them all. The last time Rosso used her sword, Vincent had dodged by jumping back, away from her, but that was just what she was hoping for. Pointing her sword at him, she began to fire off bullets at him, showing him no mercy what so ever. Vincent proved to be just as fast and dodged the bullets as well, running out of the way at high speeds. However, since he was running away, Vincent failed to notice that Rosso had inched closer to him, preparing her fist to strike.

"Vincent, look out!" Kairi cried, but by the time she said that, it was too late. Rosso had punched Vincent so hard that he went flying backwards into one of the walls of the buildings, making it crack so hard that some of the bricks of the wall fell off, causing a heavy puff of smoke to appear, hiding Vincent from view. Sora and Kairi gasped at the situation, not knowing what to do as Rosso only stared at smoke, ready for more if Vincent were to come out of the situation. But how could he? No one gets up from a hit like that easily. (End Those Who Fight)

Just when Sora was about to run over to Vincent, assisting the gunman, something happened that made him stop in his tracks. A bright, red light appeared from the center of the smoke and soon expanded, lighting up the whole area for a brief moment. When the light faded, in the place Vincent once stood was something that made the keybladers gasp. Vincent, or whoever it was, stood there completely transformed into what looked like a demon to them. He had a large set of wings that were red and black, a red crown like structure sitting on his head, and glowing yellow eyes that was all too familiar to the two.

Sora, not knowing how to react, turned to Kairi for an explanation. But the princess couldn't move, frozen with fear at the sight of Vincent. This told Sora clearly that he was not the only one seeing this, and he knew he wasn't dreaming.

Before Rosso could react to his form, Vincent brought his wings in close, inclosing him. Once he let them out again, he growled and was surrounded by a red light again, which proved to be more than just that. The light began to push Rosso, Sora, and Kairi backwards, a wind gust so powerful that it forced the three to hold their ground the best they could.

"Pff, fine," Rosso yelled against the wind. "You want to play hard to get, fine, but I will be back for the Proto Materia!"

Sora looked at Rosso as she jumped away, wishing that he could follow and stop her from escaping, but the wind did not allow him to. However, on the bright side, Rosso leaving caused Vincent's wind gushes to cease, leaving the area just as it was before. The red light faded shortly after that, revealing Vincent, now back to normal, unconscious on the floor.

Sora allowed a deep, shocked breath to enter his lungs before he turned to Kairi, making sure she was alright before Vincent. He turned to see her, on her knees, not moving her eyes off of Vincent. "Sora…" She said, still in a state of shock.

He walked up to her before she continued saying, "He looked… just like… Chaos."

Sora closed his eyes at her words. The moment he saw Vincent, he hoped that she wouldn't notice the resemblances, but she did. Out of everyone that was affected by Chaos and Xehanort's last appearance, Kairi was the most affected. It was understandable, of course, but seeing those resemblances to Chaos wasn't helping her forget and move on from those days.

"I know." He sighed. Slowly, he turned his body to Vincent, who still laid lifeless on the ground. "Why… Why didn't he tell us?"

Sora wished he knew the answer, but he didn't. Why did Vincent, someone they have trusted for years, not tell them this? Was he cursed and didn't want anyone to know? Was he secretly hiding his identity, so at some point he could strike them down? Was he really a monster? Sora quickly tried to push those thoughts out of his head, knowing that Vincent was a true friend, even if the gunman didn't want to admit it. But either way, Sora needed answers, and the only way to do that is to wake Vincent up. But before he could, a familiar voice stopped him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Sora turned around to see Shalua standing there, with her good hand on her hip. "Back away, I'll check him out."

Acting carefully, Sora listened to Shalua and allowed her to approach Vincent. She bent down on one knee to get at level with him and only stared at his face. "He turned into this… Thing," Sora explained, "He looked like—"

"Chaos, I know," Shalua said quickly. "Saw the whole thing take place from up on top of the buildings."

"What happened to him?" Kairi asked, finally recovering from the ordeal and walking up next to Sora.

"Long story, but it seems that for now, his powers are calmed down," Shalua stood up. "I'll explain what happened to him back at WRO headquarters."

"Wait, I thought you didn't trust us," Sora replied.

"I didn't, but my boss seems to," she continued. "Got a call from him, told me to bring you to the headquarters if I run into you again. That is, however, if you are still willing to help."

"Of course we are," Kairi replied, which was shocking to Sora. He thought that after what just happened with Vincent that she would not want to go anywhere near him, but she proved him otherwise. Agreeing with her, Sora nodded.

"Good," Shalua said, turning to Vincent's body. "I am going to need help getting him to the car. Need to get him to headquarters as well so I can heal him. Want to give me a hand, Spiky?"

Ignoring the nickname Shalua gave him, Sora nodded, walking up to Vincent and placing the gunman's arm around his shoulder while Shalua took the other. The four then made it to the car and headed off to the WRO headquarters as fast as possible.

So yes, I know, Vincent's Chaos form doesn't really look that much like the Chaos we all know, but to Sora and the others it will. In case you haven't noticed yet, I am changing parts of the whole Chaos thing to fit the Reconnect Series.

Thanks for the suggestions on the 3DS games by the way! After some debating, I decided to get Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and I must say I am enjoying it so far! It is actually my first Zelda game (besides SSBB of course) and this game is making me want to get Ocarina of Time too. I am probably going to end up getting Pokémon Y next though cause I just NEED Mega Charizard...

Also, there is a new poll up on my profile if you don't mind voting :)

Well, that is really all I have to say so please R&R and look out for the next chapter!
