Terra walked through the crowds, he hadn't had much time to visit the other cities since he came to this world, but nevertheless he had heard some good things about this land and wished to visit it. He searched the crowd before spying a familair blue-haired girl. He smiled to himself as he walked over to her and place a hand on the table. "It's been awhile, hasn't it, Aqua"

From:

Out of all the places for the Bahamut Zero GF to be, why did it have to be in Bevelle?

This question echoed through the fiery red thief's head, racing through the town to avoid her pursuers: the guards of Bevelle. Constantly they screamed to halt her, like that did any good against the Radical Dreamer as she continued to run, jumping over and pushing various citizens out of her way. In Rabanastre, it was fun, despite nearly feeling the Queen's wrath for stealing Ifrit and the Knights of the Round, but in Bevelle, guns weren't exactly her cup of tea. And she couldn't put her finger on it, but she knew what would happen if she did get caught, and it wouldn't be pretty.

She ducked behind a nearby pillar, just after evading their sight after her latest jump. Slowly she drew her spectral dagger, and despite the shiny material from the blade, she saw the guards walk in another direction, still searching for her.

She grinned, putting the dagger back in its sheathe. "Dumbasses!"

Chuckling as she tossed up a bag of gil, she stepped into the cafe near her. A good drink after all this would really quench her thirst. Things would be easier if Serge and Glenn were simply here already. Schala better not have been lying to her the other day. She took many risks to steal these GFs, and she be damned if they were going to fall into someone else's hands.

Before her eyes could even gaze at the menu, she look towards her right, eyes widening at the blue hair, and the bag of gil nearly slipped from her grasp. All of her time spent in this world, traveling from locale to locale, she never saw anyone with blue hair, and their was only one person in the world she knew that had it.

Grinning, tears forming on the edge of her eyes, she ran towards the figure and grasped them from behind in a hug. "Serge! I can't believe it's...!?" Her eyes widened again, feeling what she had actually wrapped around. Immediately, face turning crimson, she jumped back with her cat-like reflexes, gaining a far better view of what she just grabbed.

As expected it was a female, and upon closer inspection, her hair was far lighter than Serge's. Kid already felt the mental, scolding slap Schala gave her, as well as a chuckle. The lights from everywhere probably made her vision worse.

The thief bowed her head. "S-sorry about that! I thought you were...someone else..."

From:

Aqua was taken aback as she noticed she had company. Her eyes widened a bit at the sight of Terra, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Ah, Terra. What are...um, how are you?" she stammered. She opened her mouth to speak again, but was cut off as she was hugged from behind. Her "attacker" let go soon enough, and she looked back at the girl.

"That's alright." she couldn't resist a little laugh. "It happens."

From:

"I'm not sure, I just remember Xehanort somehow being taken from my body and my heart returning. It was rather painful though" Terra said as he took a seat as his close friend was suddenly hugged from behind. The blonde girl leapt back, obviously embarrased. Terra chuckled a bit as he turned to the girl, "Who did you think she was?"

From:

A bead of sweat dropped from her head. Mistaking a girl for her boyfriend of all things wasn't something she could just shrug off. "I thought she was an old mate o' mine. Guess not..."

She looked back at the crowd, deciding maybe leaving these two alone before she embarrassed herself further. Unfortunately, with several soldiers out there, all armed with guns and seeking her out, she simply took a seat and ordered a cup of coffee. Hopefully the caffeine could wake her up and not make the same mistake twice. "Crap..." she muttered. her eyes going back and forth between the two. "Dun mind me! I'll be just be sitting here for an unknown period of time..." she laughed nervously.

Peering over her "hug victim's" shoulder, something Schala continued to chuckle inside of her head, she took notice of the locations marked on the laptop. "Oi, wish I thought of that earlier. Mighta saved me some time from nearly getting me head blown clean off!"

From:

Aqua nodded slightly in response to Kid, though her mind was elsewhere. She was focused on what Terra had said.

Xehanort was gone from Terra's body. That much she figured since she first saw him since the physical manifestations of the Master were gone. No longer would she have to fear looking at Terra's face and seeing something evil hiding behind his eyes. Better still, his heart was back with him.

Suddenly, the weight of her own actions, the very actions that had caused Xehanort to continue living, seemed smaller. She didn't know whether to cry, laugh, or both.

"I'm glad you're back." she said, smiling widely at him. Aqua swallowed the lump growing in her throat and looked down, hoping her bangs could hide her eyes as a tear slid down her cheek.

"Agh, why am I crying?" she asked with a little laugh.

From:

"I don't know" Terra said as he reached over to wipe the tear from her eye. "I'm glad I'm back too, though there is bad news." he said before dropping to a whisper so the other girl wouldn't pick up. "I have this feeling of a great darkness about to overtake this land"

From:

She closed her eyes and just let her smile take over. He was definitely back, hopefully to stay this time.

Though his next statement sobered her up faster than a bucket of ice to the face.

"Darkness?" she wondered, her voice soft. "Do you think it might be the Heartless?"

From:

When the water works came from Aqua, Kid took that as her cue to vanish. If the drama continued, it would only serve as a reminder to her relationship with Serge, and she wanted to save those tears for when he came back to her. She'd take her chances with the guards. They wouldn't shoot a thief in plain sight in the middle of several people, would they?

But just as she got up from her seat, the word Heartless caught her attention. Unlike Aqua's friend, she failed to keep the words away from the thief's ears. "Heartless you say?" she grinned from ear to ear. "Quick question: Can one of you blokes wield a keyblade? Only askin' because of this." She pulled out the paper she hid in the pouch of gil on her, a picture of a blue monstrosity called Arch Behemoth. She had meant to go when Serge and Glenn came back, but the opportunity for easy money by going with keybladers, and possibly the chance to clear her name if it ever got it, made some dollar signs appear in her eyes.

"This might help ya in your mission, and put some gil in your pockets while you're at it!" she said with a grin and a wink. "I only ask ya bring me along! Buggers won't lemme go since I can't use a bloody key! 'Sides, I'm curious too."

Though she preferred not say, Terra had made her think more on the subject. Schala did warn of her something coming, but if it wasn't Heartless, than what? What in this world could be worse than Heartless and fiends? Sure, she had heard rumors of this thing called Sin, but she had yet to encounter it. There was only one other person she could think, and that guy--no, demon was dead. Serge made sure of that.

From:

Aqua's eyes went wide at the sight of the Arch Behemoth. She edged closer to get a better look at the creature. Definitely a Heartless. Her hand, her keyblade-wielding one, itched slightly as if her blade was begging her to call it just from the sight of the monster.

She turned her face toward Kid and smiled. It wouldn't be so bad to help her out. She seemed nice enough, after all.

"I certainly don't need a pretext to fight the Heartless. Far be it from me to not want to help you get rid of one," she turned to Terra to await his answer. She figured he would be eager to go as well, but even if not...well, more for her then!

From:

"Hmm, this beast might have a connection to the darkness I've been sensing, I'm in" Terra said as his own keyblade-wielding hand fingers twitched as he looked at the beast, a bit of sadness in his heart. After all, he had helped create some of these monstroties. Terra shook his head to clear his thoughts as he turned back to the young girl. "Pardon me, but before we go on this mission, it would only be right for us to introduce yourselves, I'm Terra"

From:

Kid grinned. "Name's Kid. Pleasure to meet the both of ya blokes! Guess that means were mates now!"

However before anything, Kid needed to somehow sneak out of here without the guards shooting her in the back, or worse, drag her back into a dark cell; she'd rather choose death. Continously looking back and forth between her group, she asked. "So...who here has something to take us to Dollet ASAP? Giant creatures? Airships? Teleportation"

If she could, she would have just summoned Bahamut ZERO, but it was Serge's GF, and the thing refused to listen to her, just like the Knights of the Round. She never knew GF's could be so picky. As for Ifrit...she doubted a creature made of fire could take her all the way to Dollet oversea.

From:

"Well, me and Aqua here can turn our weapons into vechiles" Terra said as he waved his hand, Earth Shaker appearing in his hand as he set it on the table, waiting for Aqua to summon hers.

From:

Aqua called her keyblade, feeling a great sense of comfort just from holding the long unused weapon. Rain Fall seemed to relish being back in her hands as well, or at least that was the feeling she got from it.

"It's been too long since I've called on this." she said, looking from Terra to Kid and back again.

From:

Jealously crept onto Kid. All she could do was summon Ifrit and control fire at will. "Wish I could do that, and I mean all of that stuff!" The keyblade masters certainly proved to be entertaining, but this was perfection in its finest. Now she could get away from those guards and finally get some money while she was at it!

"Yours does support two, right Aqua?" she said, while pointing at Terra with her thumb, grinning in a teasing fashion. "I think someone like you might be mad if I rode around with your mate over there!" She certainly would if another woman touched Serge, and in some cases, even guys.

From:

Aqua blinked a few times, not quite knowing what to make of that statement. Her cheeks did turn a nice shade of pink though.

"Yes, it carries two people." she said finally.

From:

"Oh, we're not really...." Terra stopped as he rubbed the back of his head, he was never good with the more social stuff, he usually left that up to Ven.......Terra closed his eyes as he touched his keyblade, causing it to disapear.
