So. It's been a good long while, yes? Here I am, finally, with another update. This is number 33! Goodness gracious. I almost can't believe it.

This one was actually inspired by an idea my friend, Shade the Hero, gave me. She gave me the idea forever and a half ago, and I never had the inspiration to write it until now. Like wow. This has been sitting in the folder for maybe a year now? Maybe more! I'm really glad to finally have it finished! (I really hope you like it, Shade.)

This one is inspired by Shade's idea, as previously mentioned, and it takes place, say, sometime after the 1000 Heartless Battle/Battle of Hollow Bastion.

Disclaimer: I don't own KH, and I don't own this idea. Haha, sigh.

Cloud paced, boredom washing over him in waves. There was nothing to do. Nothing. Nowhere to be, no business he needed to take care of, not anyone to fight or even spar with. He'd done everything he could think of. He'd gotten to the point where cleaning up Ansem's wrecked office was entertaining. He was halfway through his sixth round of cleaning before he threw his book down in frustration, leaving the rest of the journals scattered.

Maybe there was something to do in the computer room.

He strode in quietly, coming to stand in front of the computer and tapping a few keys. He was beginning to wonder what it was capable of when there was a small ding and a friendly voice chimed through the speakers.

"Hello User, my name is Tron. Is there anything I can help with?"

Cloud nodded, idly tapping his foot. "Yeah. Got anything you need done?"

There was a bit of silence before the program answered. "It seems that everything is in order. Is something wrong?"

Cloud nodded again, breathing out a sigh. "I'm bored out of my mind. There's nothing to do around here. Absolutely nothing."

Tron hummed for a second before the screen brightened, some pictures coming onto display. "I have some games you can try out."

Cloud looked over with interest, surveying the screen before pointing at the image on the far left. "What's this one, the one with the motorcycle?" He stepped a bit closer to the computer. "It looks interesting."

The image became larger and information began to scroll beneath it. "That is the Lightcycle Arena. The goal is to complete whatever task is given. The player must ride the motorcycle the whole time, even during battle."

A smile crossed Cloud's features. "Sounds like my cup of tea."

"Would you like to play?"

A light began to shine behind him. Cloud turned and faced it, nodding. "Yeah."

The next thing the swordsman knew, his clothes were radiating a soft blue and he was standing in the middle of an area. A motorcycle – a lightcycle – was parked in front of him, the engine purring softly. He approached the vehicle, nostalgic of his own motorcycle, Fenrir. He climbed on with ease, getting comfortable before revving the engine.

"Controls just like her." He shot off at that, traversing through the maze that rose up around him. He watched the walls occasionally as he drove before he let out a groan. "What's the objective?"

A monotoned voice came from above him. "Destroy 20 enemies to gain access to Level 2."

"Twenty, huh?" Heartless showed up on either side of him, engaging him in a high speed battle. Cloud grinned, drawing his sword and swinging it round, dispatching of two of the monsters. "Alright. Let's mosey."

"Let's mosey" is totally canon and you cannot tell me otherwise. There's screenshot evidence. (He doesn't say it in KH, tho, I don't think)

I hope you enjoyed! Review~!
