[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,480px,true][atrb=cellpadding,3px,true][atrb=cellspacing,3px,true][bg=939d8f] So how far did you go for shelter, How long did it take you to find? Sanctuary, it was a word meant for a safe place, a protected shelter one could take cover in from the violent storms of real life and let their guard down. To many this place often meant a base or a keep where friends and allies gathered to keep each other safe from harm, walls surrounding them to protect them from slings of arrows and the fell of swords. To others they saw these walls as a prison, those who stood outside them, seeking to tear them down and destroy the enemy within to cripple them in times of war such as these. And to many more, the lazy afternoons one could relax in harmony and peace was always at home. For Sora, Destiny Islands had always been this, and never once before had he considered it a sanctuary for his enemies to warrant breaching it and rendering it asunder. And yet there it was, on the other side of the frosted glass within Deep Space as Sora looked down on the faded warm glow of his world, approaching it from within his colorful trademark guummi ship. A purple and black darkness had now surrounded it, engulfing it almost entirely in it's corrupting tint. Not again! the young man thought to himself, pushing forward on the twin joystick controls that came together as the steering wheel of his gummi ship, just as the static of the radio monitor next to it crackled on and came to life as the familiar face of two furry-faced friends came onscreen. Instead of Chip and Dale, a grin spread on Sora's face as he saw the familiar faces of two of his closest friends. "Sowra! Can you rwead me? It's Donald!" quacked the court magician, filling up most of the screen with one eye before leaning back. "Gwarsh, Sora! Are you okay? It's Goofy, too!" the Captain of the Royal Guard hollered into the radio as he appeared beside Donald, chortling in relief at the sight of the boy. "Donald! Goofy! My island, it's sunken into the darkness again." the boy in red warned them, Donald wacking a microphone and making Sora cringe at the microphone feedback before the duck spoke. "Ish dis phing on? Oh, Sora!" Donald's eye zoomed in more to get a good look at the boy as it filled up the monitor, Goofy pulling him back as Donald slipped and fell to the ground, papers and gummi blueprint materials flying everywhere in the background. "We know, Sora! We're at Disney Castle and we picked up your gummi ship flying towards your island." Goofy explained. "Swora, we picked up sum powaful darkness in da area, be carefol!" Donald squawked as he stood back off, pulling off a instruction manual off his head before thwacking Goofy with his staff on the head. The knight rubbed his noggin but gaffawed anyway to brush his companion off. "We have to stay and protect the castle while the king is gone, but we attempted to contact Cloud and Rapunzel in the area, so stay safe buddy! Ha-yuck, over-and-out!" "Thanks guys." Sora managed to say, before the gummi ship began to enter the atmosphere, and the radio signal began to go into static before the signal was lost. Sora concentrated on not getting the gummi ship to veer out of control and burning up into the atmosphere, seeing the very small spit of land that was his chain of islands. Zooming through the clouds and alongside seagulls getting drafts from the hot air coming off his ship, he eventually settled the rattling ship down onto the other side of the island where once upon a time he and Riku had once raced together before they discovered the worlds out there. Exiting the gummi ship, he trundled crisp, white sand and inhaled pure, clean ocean breeze as he realized a singualr, simple fact once again. He was home. But the world was not as it was as he left it. Once again, trees were twisted up and broken from blackened ash, white sand gave way to fractured and cracked purple earth beneath, violet ocean violently crashed onto the beach as if contrast to the ever-turning tide of light and darkness on this island. Although it was afternoon as the sun was setting, there was a darkening haze of indigo overhead as sunset colors dappled the horizon, distorting it in dirty and unsightly contrasts. But Sora wasn't going to let the sight of his darkened home get to him; already as he stepped underneath the bridge leading to the paopu tree island and put his hand on a withered palm tree, life seemed to be sprouting back from within it as a infant palm frond unfurled and reached for the dying sun above. Out on the expanse of beach just out of the water, Sora could sense the gathering of friendly presences, both that familiar to his heart and those that he had, life the infant palm frond beginning life anew, had yet to grow and prosper as a new connection. "Woooooah... heya, I really like your hair!" Sora chuckled in pleasant greeting at the sight of the next person that he saw before him, smiling that ever-so-silly toothy grin of his.

While travelling through Gaia, Cloud decided to stop in the town of Kalm to relax for a bit. His investigative work continues over the appearance of Scarlet and the Ruby WEAPON but he has yet to find any answers. As usual, his mind wondered...about Tifa, about the rest of his friends, about Denzel and Marlene... He wondered about the state that Sora's universe was in, about the state of his own world, given the fact that a WEAPON had made its return. The only time a WEAPON would ever appear was if and when the Planet was in a terrible state. Summoning the WEAPONs were the Planet's way of not giving whatever was trying to destroy it the satisfaction of killing it. The Planet itself believes that if it is going to die, then it was going to die by its own hand and no one else's. Cloud never thought it to be funny in the least given the state of unrest he was in when he first learned about the WEAPONs but now...it was somewhat hilarious to Cloud...hilarious and a bit sad...sad in the sense that the Planet didn't give the WEAPONs a better purpose, like giving them the mission to protect the Planet and the beings that lived in it, be it whether it was humans, animals...or even the monsters that crawled and lived on the plains of Gaia As he rode through the gates of Kalm, he felt his phone ring...he wondered who it could be...

Cloud stopped in front of the local inn and turned off the engine of his motorcycle. He put out the kickstand and got off his motorcycle. A year back, Cloud wouldn't answer his phone at all. He felt that the more detached he was from his friends, the better off they would all be. He would later find out that this was no way to live at all. He soon found out that the more detached he was from his friends, the more everything began to crumble all around him. He was told to choose between a memory and the people that love him and would go to war for him any day of the week...Cloud chose the people... Cloud took out his phone but it stopped ringing before it could answer. Cloud sighed, hoping that he wouldn't have to go through trying to call whoever it was back but now he did. Cloud brought his lazy right hand, which held his cellphone, to open up the cell phone. A video message was left for Cloud... He heard and saw four strange figures...two of which he recognized...much to his dismay...

He rolled his eyes a little at the sight of Donald and Goofy, two of the best friends that Sora ever had, at least from Cloud's point of view... He first met Sora, Donald, and Goofy at the Coliseum...he had been working for Hades but it was Sora, Donald, and Goofy that helped him see the error of his ways time and time again. He couldn't really tell how many times Sora and his two best friends saved the universe that Cloud found himself in after his own world had been destroyed. It had been awhile since he had seen Sora, Donald, and Goofy...it had been a long while since he had seen anyone. Ever since he left that dimension that he had fought Sephiroth in, he hadn't been able to find or see anyone from his past...aside from Denzel and Vincent...and some enemies that aren't really worth the trouble of mentioning. Sora, Donald, and Goofy were inseparable...so why wasn't Sora with Donald, Goofy, and the two chipmunks that he saw in the video message?

It was then that Cloud got his answer; Sora's home world had fallen into darkness and he needed Cloud's help. Donald and Goofy had told him that Sora's home world was Destiny Island and that he should get there immediately...Cloud closed the phone and put it into his pocket. Cloud was ready to help but...he didn't know where that world was...he didn't know what it looked like or how to get there. He didn't have an airship...but then he thought of Cid...Cid had an airship. Cloud took out his phone to call Cid but all he heard were endless rings...Cloud didn't even get to Cid's voicemail. Cloud put away his phone. It was then that he thought of something. Cloud looked into his sack that he carried on his motorcycle. he dug into it and he found his fabled crystal. It was in the form of the White Materia...the Materia that his friend Aerith used to save the Planet from Meteor. He got it from defeating Sephiroth when he was a Warrior of Cosmos. He was able to use it for transportation...it was worth a try.

Cloud made sure no one was around. He activated the sword compartment device and the sides of the motorcycle Fenrir opened up, revealing Cloud's six swords. He picked them out one by one and stuck them all into his harness. His harness was capable of holding all six swords and holding all six was not something that was going to hinder him anyway. Although, he wasn't sure if he needed all six blades or not, it was better to be safe than sorry. Cloud held the main blade, The First Tsurugi in his right hand just to be prepared. He then closed the empty sword compartments into his Fenrir and he squeezed the crystal in his left hand and the crystal began to glow. There was a white flash and soon Cloud found himself on the beach...but for a world that had been taken over by darkness, Cloud got exactly what he thought he would get...a world twisted by darkness. The trees were all black and twisted, the ground beneath him had been crumbling...the smell of the place that he had found himself in was terrible too. Cloud sighed, believing that this was going to take a whole lot of work... He then heard a familiar voice commenting on his hair. He turned to the direction the voice came from...and he raised an eyebrow...he knew who said it, Cloud was just surprised that this was the greeting that he got after all this time. Cloud turned his full body toward Sora and walked toward him with a stern look on his face...

Sora was...a hero...end of story. Sora was a strong and kind young man, he had all the makings of a great leader and then some. Sure his sense of style would change more often then he would like but Sora was still the same guy but with tons of power...and Sora was younger than Cloud was, and he still hadn't reached his full potential as a fighter. Cloud never showed it but he had a lot of confidence in Sora. He knew that if something went wrong...Sora would be the first on the scene...and the last to leave. If Sora's fighting skill didn't frighten the enemy, then his sheer determination and indomitable willpower certainly will. Cloud was sure that it wasn't that Sora didn't know when to give up...it was that Sora never learned how to give up. Cloud stopped approaching Sora before he got too close. Cloud narrowed his eyes at Sora, absorbing the compliment that he had said about Cloud's hair...Cloud then raised an eyebrow at him again...and spoke...

"...Finally, it's about time someone noticed it. I put a lot of work into this hair of mine. People honestly don't realize the work and pain that I go through every morning in order to keep this hairstyle of mine. They see me and my hairstyle as if they see it everyday of the week...but they don't. I'm starting to wonder whether it's worth it...your hair's pretty well-kept too...I guess...", Cloud said, looking away from Sora.
