AN* Still don't own either of these.

Sorry for the delay, work and school has been hectic lately.

Chapter 15

They arrived at their next world, Hallow Bastion where they had first met each other. Train walked off right away wandering the giant town telling the others he would meet them at Merlin's if needed. Leaping from the buildings he searched around until he started making his way to the giant castle that was under reconstruction. Entering the castle he made his way down to the deepest part when a woman wearing a black tank top and pants with black hair stopped him.

"Have you seen a guy with spiky blonde hair?" she asked.

"No. Have you seen anyone from Organization XIII or someone with a tattoo with a roman numeral on it?" he asked.

"The first is a no. The second, I thought I saw someone with the Roman numeral one on her forehead." She answered.

"Sephira? Why would she be here?" he muttered.

"Anyway, the names Tifa if you need anything, and if you see that guy I asked about tell him I'm looking for him." Tifa said as she walked off. Walking further down Train arrived in a destroyed study with a wall missing leading down a strange hallway. Walking down the hallway he found that there was a large computer and Leon was in there.

"Hey Leon." Train said as he entered the room.

"Train. Do you know anything about computers?"

"Nope." Train shrugged as he turned to leave and saw something blue and furry on the ceiling "Ummm, Leon? What's blue, furry, and walks on the ceiling?"

"I have no time for jokes Train." He sighed.

"I'm being serious. There is something blue and furry walking on the ceiling." Train said pointing at the creature. Leon looked up and saw the creature and was clearly shocked.

"Is it a heartless or a nobody?" Leon asked as he took out his gunblade.

"Neither. It would have attacked by now if it was one. Maybe it lost its world to the heartless and is just staying here?" Train suggested as he put Hades away. Shrugging he walked out, deciding to go look for Sephira. Once he returned to the destroyed study a cloaked figure with big circle ears walked in.

"Who are you?" Train asked as his hand moved towards Hades as the figure summoned a keyblade.

"Who are you?" was the retort.

"Train Heartnet. So which one are you, Riku or the king?" he asked.

"Shhh!"

"The latter of the two then. Have you seen a young woman around here with a Roman numeral one on her forehead, probably carrying a sword with a the same one on its guard?"

"Actually yes. She was out by the wastelands watching the small castle with the moat of heartless." The king said as Train walked off "Why, do you know her?"

"She was my former boss." He shrugged as he left the castle. Running through the ramparts he arrived at the edge of the wastelands to see Sephira staring out into them.

"Got nothing better to do than stare at a distant threat?" Train asked as he approached.

"It's good to see you Train-kun." Sephira nodded as her hand touched Christ, her sword.

"So what are you doing here?"

"To fight Organization XIII and the heartless. The other numbers have been scattered to the other worlds to try and prevent the worst case scenario."

"Who was sent where?"

"Lin Xiao Li was sent to the Land of Dragons. Jenos Hazard was sent to Beasts Castle. Mason Ordrosso was sent to meet up with number IX at the Olympus Coliseum. Baldorias Fanghini was sent to Port Royal. Beluga Heard was sent to Agrabah. Beleze Rochefort and number III were sent to Halloween Town. Kranz Maduke was sent to the Pride Lands. Lastly Nazier Bruckheimer and number XI were sent to Twilight Town for reconnaissance." Sephira explained.

"Very thorough of you Sephira. Still no number XIII yet?"

"You are number XIII. We knew you would arrive here soon enough and that you would aid me in my mission."

"I'm not part of Chronos. I live as I please, not as commanded." Train growled.

"Please Train, let's not fight amongst ourselves. Once we finish dealing with the threat here we can discuss you're membership in Chronos." Sephira replied as they both felt their tattoos burning.

"We have company." Train growled as they moved to the source to see a hooded figure reveal himself. He had brown hair that stood mostly up except for a three locks of hair that were in his face. Before the battle was to begin Train and Sephira leapt down in front of Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Train!" they exclaimed.

"Stay back. Let us deal with him." Sephira said as she unsheathed Christ.

"Don't worry Sora, we can easily deal with him." Train grinned as he took out Hades.

"You two are with Chronos? Man this is so not fair." The man complained.

"Life isn't fair to any of us. Learn to live with it Nobody." Sephira said as she prepared to fight.

"Quiet you." The man said, his voice becoming fierce as he lifted a hand over his head and brought out a sitar "You now face number nine Demyx, the Melodious Nocturne." He then started playing the sitar and created multiple water clones. Train simply spun the chamber on Hades and fired one shot into the air creating a hail of bullets down on the water clones destroying them all while Sephira rushed in, slashing at the man. Dodging most of the hits he leapt into the air and created pillars of water to ride across the courtyard they were on, forcing Sephira and Train to scatter. As they dodged the man's water attacks and the occasional created group of water clones they attacked together, intending to end him.

"Ryuukenjutsu number 3. Hairken no Sutoraiki*." Sephira said as she used the second fastest of her 36 attacks. Swinging the sword directly at his head in a vertical slash forcing him to dodge she turned it into a horizontal slash that nearly slashed him clean in two were it not that he had tried to dodge and instead had cost him his right arm.

"NO WAY!" he shouted as sitar disappeared and he began to disintegrate/evaporate(for those of you that don't know what ever element an organization member controls while they break away into black particles that element is also showed). Once he was gone Sephira and Train looked at the three who were staring at them in shock.

"Who are you?" Sora asked finally.

"Sephira Arks, commander of the Chronos Numbers." Sephira said as she sheathed Christ.

"So you used to be Train's boss?" Goofy asked.

"Yes, that is true." Sephira nodded with a small smile.

"Well we better go help our friends." Donald said as the three of them took a step forward.

"AHA! There you are!" the king said as he came down the stairs towards the courtyard making those three look sheepish about something that they had done "You sure have lotsa friends to help. So I guess we better all pull together and finish this battle for good."

"Yes your majesty!" the three shouted giving a salute.

"The Chronos numbers will be happy to assist." Sephira said as she bowed to the king.

"Chronos numbers? Never heard of you guys before." The king said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"That is because we like to work in secret." Sephira said as she turned towards the battle "Come Train. Let us show the heartless why they should fear Chronos." Laughing Train followed after her giving them the thumbs up as they entered the battle against thousands of heartless.

Once they were on the plain Train got a good look at this new type of heartless. They were armored with swords for their right hands and four legs to move around quickly, while above were robotic heartless that fired lasers into any who opposed the massive army. Train grinning from ear to ear leapt to one of the highest points to see the blue creature from earlier shooting down the heartless with two guns that shot out some kind of green energy.

"So you're on our side. Good, Lets show them what we can do. So what should I call you?" Train grinned as he fired several shots into some of the heartless heading their way.

"Stitch." the blue creature said as he fired a few more shots at the heartless.

The battle progressed with Train moving around and harrying their gigantic force. He stopped on a cliff with Leon and the blonde spiked hair man that Tifa had told him about with heartless coming out of both side of the path and the flying ones coming up the cliff.

"So how many can you take?" Leon asked the other man.

"If one more shows up then it might be trouble." The man said.

"I guess that's the one I fight." Leon replied.

"Oh. You're fighting?" the man joked as they both charged the heartless while Train shot the aerial heartless down before they could fire at the other two, Once he was satisfied with how things were going there he followed the blonde mans path until they were at another cliff with him surrounded by heartless. Before either could react they were suddenly destroyed and a man with long silver hair, a single black wing and a sword six feet long.

"I understand you have been looking for me Cloud." The silver haired man said.

"Sephiroth!" Cloud raged. Train took this personal encounter as a sig to leap back down to the main fray where he caught glimpses of Sephira destroying the heartless with cold precision. As Train followed suit he suddenly felt the tattoo start burning and looked up to the top of a cliff to see a man with grey hair and bronze skin, wearing an organization coat. Grinning he leapt up the rocks until he reached the man, Hades aimed at his head.

"Young Train. It is a pleasure to meet you." The man said without turning to face him.

"The feeling isn't mutual." Train retorted showing his cruelest face, meaning that he was all business.

"A shame. However nothing is ever set in stone." The man sighed.

"I can think of one thing that is, for you." Train said as he was about to pull the trigger when the man turned to face him, his yellow eyes burning into him as he quickly shoved him into the opening corridor of darkness where he was grabbed by someone and knocked out.
