Very nice. The only change that I would make is that it have just a shade or two more red. Naruto looks angry, but in my opinion the background doesn't reflect quite as much as it should. Aside from that, top notch.

Considering what we've seen so far, and this is just a guesstimate mind you, I don't think the story would immediately end with the pagent. Maybe an update or two after, to clear up a few things, maybe start something new, but to end it with some kind of 'harmony is restored, life goes on'...I don't know, I can't see that happening.

Thanks, sis.

...you want to know what the sad part about this is? I don't mean that I made a big announcement by complaining, but the first thing I found when I turned pink was that I got 'red mark' (not sure about the technical term) because I, apparently, spammed. Note to self: Proofread post!

I'd imagine Aqua would be magic, considering the reflect spell she used in the FM movie.

Well, at least we're over the worst of it.

Smart. I've been in the same boat, I can tell you that the satisfaction of punching someone out only lasts up to an hour at most, then goes into guilt.

Ah, okay...nobody said anything about that. Cripes, I could've chosen a better way to announce this instead of whining about it...smooth, dc.

Thanks, coco.

Please. I prefer 'Pinky'....Narf!

You'll get there. It certainly took me awhile.

1) Finally! My transformation is now complete!

2) Here’s the next chapter:

“Aerith is going to be fine, Zack.”

Zack jumped up from his seat when he saw Merlin exit from the castle’s post-op. Merlin was cleaning his glasses from his cloak. “Are you sure?”

Merlin nodded, “Yes. Mother and child are doing nicely.” Zack sighed in relief, but then froze, and slowly turned around to Sora, Squall, and just about everyone else who was with him. Everyone was a little surprised by this recent turn of events.

“‘Mother and child’?” started Yuffie, “Exactly how long has Aerith been ‘Mother and child’, Zack?”

Zack scratched the back of his head and looked at a corner of the room, “Yeah, umm….she’s a few weeks along. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys sooner or anything, but we didn’t exactly have a good time to announce it or anything, what with Elanore attacking or anything like that.”

Squall raised an eyebrow, “So, her recent mood swings directed at you (and us) were because of her…?” Zack nodded, “Yeah, I’m afraid morning sickness has hit her pretty hard.” Cid shrugged, “Don’t worry about it, kid. I’m just glad that’s what was causing her anger and not us…Cripes, I thought she was going to kill me at one point. All because I forgot to get her some pizza…,” Cid looked up in surprise, “…now that I think about it, sardine, watermelon, and cream cheese combo toppings were pretty good hints.”

Sora looked at Merlin, “What about Kairi? How is she?”

Merlin nodded, “There’s nothing to worry about with her either, Sora. They’re both doing fine.”

Everyone sighed in relief. This just wasn’t a good week…and Reno wasn’t about to make it any better. He spoke up, in a joking tone, “‘They’? What, is Kairi pregnant too?” As much as everyone groaned at that statement, nothing could’ve prepared them for what Merlin said next:

“Yes, actually. She also requested that she speak with Sora. She said something about needing to tell him about what they’re plan is going to be for raising their child.”

Sora’s face turned tomato-red, while everyone stared at him, both in awe and fear. Hiashi, on the other hand, glared at him in anger. While standing behind Sora, Hiashi quickly drew her sword and raised it over his head.

“Grab her!” Squall yelled. Zack, Cid and Squall tackled her and fought to remove her sword and tried to restrain her. “What did you do to my sister?!” she yelled.

Sora was, to say the least, in shock. He tried to speak, but all he could manage was, “Uh…I…I…,”

Merlin was not any help either, “My dear, if you need an explanation as to where infants come from, I’m afraid that you are in sorry shape.”

Hiashi struggled to get free from everyone, while Merlin was shaking slightly and hiding his face. Yuffie stared at him. Why was he shaking so much? It wasn’t cold…

Sora finally managed to regain some of his senses, “I…I’m going to go talk to…Kairi…” He struggled to go past the door. Apparently feeling had not returned to his arms…or legs…just yet.

As soon as the door behind Sora shut, Hiashi stopped struggling. This wasn’t because her anger towards Sora had diminished, but because Merlin was doubled over from laughing so hard.

He wiped a tear from his eye, “Ah, I haven’t had that much fun in years!” Everyone stared at him, confused.

Yuffie asked, “Merlin…Is Kairi really…?”

Merlin hiccupped, “No, of course not! I made that little story up! And I must admit, I’m a little pleased with the results!” Everyone stared at Merlin a little, in disbelief.

Hiashi glared furiously at Merlin, “You thought it was funny to say that my fifteen-year old sister was pregnant from her boyfriend, whom she had only been seeing for a few months?! To say that they…they…!!” If looks could kill…well, Merlin wouldn’t have to worry about anything for long.

Merlin laughed a little again, “Calm down, Hiashi. I didn’t say that to make trouble…at least, not that kind. Aerith told me earlier, before this incident with her being hostage and all that Kairi and Sora were having trouble and she asked me if I had any ideas to get them to talk to each other. We both agreed that it would have to be something rather extreme, since Sora was being so distant.”

“Yeah, umm…,” Zack started, “…about that: I overheard Sora saying something about ‘telling Kairi everything’ while he was with Riku, and after she and Aerith were freed, Kairi and Sora sort of…made up, just before Vincent destroyed Elanore.”

Merlin looked surprised, “Oh…well, then…I might have just made things worse…whoops.”

Hiashi finally got free of her being restraint, “I’ll show you a ‘whoops’!” She grabbed her sword and tried to attack Merlin, who disappeared in a puff of smoke.

“I believe I’ve overstayed my welcome at the moment. I’ll return in a little while.” He said while vanishing. Hiashi yelled, “Get back here, old man! I’m not finished with you!”

While Hiashi was stomping around, Yuffie looked around a little bit. Yuffie spoke, “Hey, has anyone seen Riku or Vincent?”




Vincent ran and jumped from rooftop to rooftop, exploring his surroundings away from the castle under the night sky. It didn’t look like anything had changed since he was put to sleep, other than some things had been repaired. He came to a stop on top of a rooftop in the middle of the town square.

He jumped off the rooftop, and landed on the sidewalk across the street from the park. Vincent walked to the other side, the light from the street lamps illuminating him and leaving him as he passed under them and into shadows back and forth. Once he got to the park, he turned his head a little. Something caught his eye.

Vincent examined a small bench, with an angel carved into the back of it. Vincent stared at it…

“Vincent!” Grimoire yelled, “Vincent, hurry up! We’re going to be late if you don’t stop playing with that squirrel!” A small boy stood up and started running towards Gregory.

“Sorry, Dad!” The boy smiled at his father, “How much farther do we have to go? I thought the castle was only a short walk from our home!” Grimoire raised an eyebrow and smiled, “It is. The problem is you keep stopping to play with some of the smaller animals that it’s taking so long.”

The boy grinned from ear to ear, “Aw, come on, Dad! You know I don’t play with them all the time!”

“Uh-huh,” his father said, “well, anyway, we need to get going. Come on, Vincent.” The two of them started walking again.

“Hey, Dad…why am I coming anyway? You’re basically working, right?” Grimoire nodded, “Yes, Vincent. The King, Ansem the Wise, has asked me to work alongside him and his assistants. They’re one man short, and some of his scientists have nominated me for a position.” Gregory looked at his son, “As to why you’re coming, we can’t really afford to live in our home anymore, so we’re going to live in the castle now. Do you remember, now?” The boy nodded, not looking at his father.

Grimoire smiled, “Don’t worry, Vincent. You’ll have fun at the castle. Ansem has a daughter about the same age as you, so you’ll have a new friend to play with while I’m working. Just don’t get into any trouble while we’re there, okay?”

Vincent nodded, “Okay, Dad. I’ll do my best!”


“I’ll do my best.” Vincent whispered. He looked up from the bench. Stars were starting to become visible over the horizon. He walked over to a nearby house, jumped, and landed on the rooftop of the house. He looked behind him, staring at the castle. Vincent shook his head, and began jumping from rooftop to rooftop, proceeding towards the castle.

“Ah, Grimoire! I’m glad you came!

Grimoire and Ansem the Wise shook hands. “I’m sorry we’re late, Master Ansem. We were a little delayed.” Ansem shook his head, “Nonsense, my boy! You’re right on time!” He looked down at the boy, “And this must be Vincent! I’m glad to finally meet you, lad.” Vincent hid behind his father’s leg.

“It’s okay, Vincent. There’s nothing to be afraid of here. Everyone here is friend.” Grimoire looked up at Ansem, “I’m sorry about that, sir. Vincent’s a little shy.” Ansem shook his head, “Stepping into a new world and meeting a room full of strangers, I would be too. Daughter! Come here, please.” A girl with long brown hair, wearing a green dress, came from out of a hallway, smiling, “Hear I am, Daddy!” Ansem smiled.

“Vincent, I’d like you to meet my daughter, Lucrecia. Lucrecia, this is Vincent. He and his father are going to be staying with us from now on.” Lucrecia did a courtesy, “How do you do?”

Grimorie smiled, “Hello, Lucrecia,” He looked down at Vincent, who was still hiding behind his leg, and whispered, “Don’t be rude, Vincent. Say ‘hello’ to her.”

“He…Hello,” he managed.

Lucrecia, Vincent thought, as he landed right outside the palace gates. He opened the doors and went inside. He made his way through the corridors until he made it to Ansem’s study. This was starting to make Vincent sick: Nothing’s changed. Not one paper out of place, not a bit of dust, nothing! You’d think something would be out of place after all these years! It’s as if nothing happened at all here!!

He brought his armored arm down on the desk in the study. It broke in two almost instantly. Various objects rushed out of the crumpled piece of furniture.

Vincent lowered his head…how…how could nothing have changed after all this time?

He took a step back and was about to walk out the door until something caught his eye:

“Those without hearts…I think I’ll call them the ‘heartless’.”

He walked towards the papers, and picked their folders up. ‘Ansem’s Reports: 1-13’ read on folder, and ‘Secret Ansem Reports’ read the other folder. Vincent read through them…

“This isn’t right,” Vincent said, “Ansem never did these...” He then read through the Secret Reports, “…Okay, that clears a little up…but still.”

*knock knock*

Vincent quickly turned around. Yuffie was standing at the doorway, looking a little annoyed, “We’ve been looking everywhere for you! Where have you…what happened here?” She was looking past Vincent, at the wrecked desk. Vincent looked up at her, “I needed some air, so I left for a little bit. As for the desk…I happened,” He held up the Reports, “Do you know about these?”

Yuffie stared at them for a second, “…Oh! Yeah, we found those while fighting the heartless. We learned a lot through them and-,”

“I see,” Vincent interrupted, “So you all have been going solely on this information?” Yuffie, annoyed by being interrupted, nodded.

Vincent’s eyes narrowed a little, “I didn’t realize everyone was this much in the dark…Okay, gather everyone. It’s time Hiashi and I filled in a few gaps.”


Riku sat on a ledge along the castle wall, holding his keyblade in the air. He kept going through images in his mind of Hiashi, smiling. Occasionally, he’d imagine hearing her laugh.

What’s going on with me? He thought, Why am I thinking these things?

“Riku!”

Riku looked down. Squall was standing a few feet away from him. “Come on!” he called, “Vincent wants to talk to us about Elanore and her group!” Riku jumped down from the ledge and the two ran towards the castle interior.

Cnc?

I agree. The storyline is excellent, for the few episodes I've seen, but they messed up the transformation sequence big time.

I haven't seen it either, it's just...when you need to concentrate on your studies, you really don't need to hear about the Wicked Witch's crush...not dissing it or anything, it's just not what I needed to concentrate on.

*head drops*...you'd fit in well with a bunch of my friends...

Ah. I couldn't tell at first because this thread was in the BBS category, and you talked about the DS...well, anyway...

It wouldn't surprise me if they went multiplatform, but all the same, I find it highly unlikely.

Yipe! Hi, mommy! How ish you?

I don't hate her, but compared to the rest of the characters in KH, I know nothing about her.

:rolls eyes: Oh Lord, not you too! I'm sorry, but at school, that's all I ever hear about...believe me, I'm more than a little tired about hearing about the Wicked Witch's life story.

I'll be...Bob.

Waaaay back when there was only regular Red and Blue versions for Pokemon, I got my cousin to temporarily trade me his Mew, which he won through a Nintendo event. I got the data on Mew, and less than a week after I agreed to let a kid see my game. Big mistake: almost immediately he started a new game and saved over the data. Never did get that Mew data back. And I don't have a Gameshark/AR either...bummer.

Assuming Naruto went into 'kyuubi-mode': Naruto.
Assuming Sora learned some new tricks (ex. Transforming his keyblade like Terra does): Sora.

*Assumes Sean Connery accent* We meet again, Trebek. Welcome to the site. Have fun and post lots, you beef-witted, apple-john!
