Yes, I am skipping No. II for now. The thing is I think you guys are getting tired of Roxitas and Namine and Ventus, so I'm gonna skip over Roxitas and Namine.

Lea

Mickey and I crashed landed at the castle entrance, my armor breaking off as we did. I stood up and looked around, seeing how much brighter the city had improved since I left to train to wield a Keyblade.

"Wow, this looks just like it did the first time I came here!" Mickey said excitedly, running up to the front door where Dilan and Aeleus. "Hey guys, can Lea and I see Leon?"

"Umm, of course your highness." Aeleus said, looking down at the mouse king before opening the door.

I followed closely behind, not looking at my former friends. None of us had spoken since we had become human again, and I wasn't planning on breaking that streak.

I stood in the back of Ansems former office that Squall had taken over, the pictures that used to depict the heart replaced by ones of the newly rebuilt city. Squall was sitting behind the desk at the opposite side of the room, Tifa and Cloud on opposite sides of him.

"Hmmm, Merlin told me that the stars were moving, but he couldn't tell me why." Squall said, responding to the explanation the King had just given him. "However I'm not sure what this has to do with Sora being missing."

"Well, when Yensid and I tried to discover the next Darkness we set all of this in motion." Mickey answered sadly, looking down at the ground as he did. "We can't do anything about the worlds, but we can save Sora."

"Well, we'll do whatever we can to help you." Squall finally said, looking at the two soldiers by his side. "I wouldn't suppose you'd allow me to be alone to help them out?"

"You know we can't do that Leon." Cloud said, reminding me that my old school mate had changed his name. "You need at least two guards with you at all times."

"Fine, Yuffie's in the lab with Aerith and Ienzo trying to locate Heartless attacks." Squall said, gesturing towards the wall on his right. "I'm sure Yuffie would be glad to accompany you."

"Sure, I'm getting tired of being cooped up here all day." I heard Yuffie say as she walked out of the hallway that was hidden by the wall just a few seconds ago. "So, where am I going?"

"Well, Roxitas wasn't very clear about that." Mickey answered, scratching his head. "I think a place where Heartless are would be a good place to start though."

"Well you're in luck your majesty." I heard the monotone voice of Ienzo say from the entrance to the lab. "There's a Heartless cloud forming over the valley, I'd suggest bringing more soldiers than just Yuffie the King and Lea however."

"Well it looks like we both get our wish today Yuffie." Squall said, standing up and stretching his arms. "Ienzo, you and Yuffie stay here and send out Aeleus and Dilan if it gets too dangerous for just the six of us."

"Of course Master Leon." Ienzo answered before bowing and heading back into the lab. He hadn't changed a bit since our time at the Organization, except now he was wearing a white cloak instead of black.

I walked into the valley, following the rest of the group, all of us drawing our weapons as we entered. Above our heads was a black swirling cloud.

"After the last incident here I had Ienzo and Evan begin working on how to figure out where they'd show up next." Squall said, looking up at the cloud. "It's pretty effective, though it can only detect the clouds once they've arrived."

"Pretty much the same as what Roxitas Terra and Riku can do." I said, looking around. "So, do you think we'll be able to take all of the Heartless out, I mean this is a lot of Heartless."

"It'll be easy." Cloud said, swinging his massive blade onto his shoulder. "We've dealt with a lot more than this, haven't we?"

"We sure have Cloud." Tifa said, smiling at the blonde soldier as we walked towards the center of the valley. "Like that time back in Athens when we beat that horde of Unversed, and it was only three of us back then."

"Okay, you two need to tell us some of these stories when we get back." Yuffie said as we began to circle up.

"If Cloud and Tifa want to keep their past a secret that's their choice Yuffie." Squall said his finger on the trigger on his gun blade. "For now we should get ready for the battle."

As if on cue black liquid began to fall from the sky around us, forming into Heartless as it did. I quickly through my Keyblades, annihilating a few Heartless before I jumped forward, spinning as I grabbed my Keyblades and sliced through a few more Heartless.

We spent the next two hours hacking through Heartless until there weren't any left. We were sitting down on the ground, exhausted.

"So, was that harder than Athens?" Yuffie asked from her seat on Squalls lap, Squalls arms wrapped around her waist.

"Actually it was." Tifa answered, looking over at Cloud who was still standing and looking up at the sky. "Don't you think so Cloud?"

"It's not over yet." He answered, still looking at the sky. We all looked up as well and saw that the cloud was still swirling above us, and it started to rain again.

We all got up, getting ready for a fight, but the Heartless didn't take form, instead all the liquid headed towards the center of the valley, rising up to form a white dome. Cloud walked up to it and put his hand on it right before it exploded into black smoke.

When I woke up I saw an unfamiliar organization member covering their face. The member looked over at Cloud who was starting to wake up himself. The member jumped at him, but he swung his sword which was engulfed by light as the figure caught it. His blade had gotten shorter and looked more similar to a key, as well as having a hand guard that wrapped all the way around.

"Well that should be good enough." The figure said, their shape becoming obviously feminine. "You really are a powerful Keyblade wielder, but of course now I'm not the only one with this look." The woman flipped her hood off and revealed Aerith's face with black version of her hair and yellow eyes. "Guess I'll just have to fix that."

The false Aerith vanished into a pillar of darkness, leaving Cloud and I as the only conscious ones in the room

We ran down the long white hall, slashing down the Heartless in our way before we reached the large white door. We through it open and saw an infinite white expanse with Oni sitting at a grand piano, and Ventus now wearing a cloaked version of his old shirt standing next to her with a smile on his face, but a frown in his eyes.

Oni began to pluck at the keys of the piano and then she started singing. "Long ago, when our eyes used to shine, and I was yours, and you were mine. Once I told you why the sun sets red, I know that I'll never forget. Now you're gone, but the sun still sets in the sky. So at dusk, I'll always think of you."

AN: As usual here's the link to the song watch?v=mskgr-jeG1I. Also, I'm sure you all can guess what's gonna happen to Aerith, so please review so you'll see it happen faster.
