(Lightning's POV)
Noctis just sighs. "Really I don't leave my friends behind."
I laugh a little and smirk at him. "So, I'm not your enemy anymore?"
"Why did you think of such thing?" He asked back with a glare.
I glared back. "Because you don't act like I'm your friend but the opposite."
I hear the elevator dinged and I turn to see Cloud. "I got my things."
"Then let's get going to his place." I pointed out Noctis. He glares at me in response. "I have a name."
We walk out of the hotel and enter Noctis's car. Ignis who is driving turns to the back to see all three of us. He smirks at Noctis. "Looks like you brought in another stray."
"Just shut up and drive back to my place before any more soldiers follow." Noctis said and leans onto the window sill of the car. I look at Cloud. "Next time when we travel, we have to hold hands to not loose each other." I whispered.
"We've been here for a day." He whispered back. "We don't know what we have to achieve in each world."
"Would you two stop whispering I'm trying to sleep?" Noctis grumbles.
"Sure we'll talk later." I said to Cloud. He nods.
We arrive to Noctis's place in an hour. Cloud, who was sitting in middle, looked tired. I smirked as I rubbed his hair. "Come on sleepy head let's go."
I get out of the car and then Cloud walks out to see the building. "Its gloomy for a guy like Noctis."
I smirk up to him. "But it does fit his style."
Noctis frowns as he walks past me, going inside the building. "Let's get some rest for tonight."
Ignis gets out of the car. "Since, we don't have any more rooms for you, I guess you'll be sleeping in the same room as Lightning."
Cloud eyes him. "Are there two beds in her room?"
"No, but its fine since you're both dating." Ignis smirks at me and Cloud.
I blushed and then laughed to cover it. "Yeah right we're not dating."
Cloud nods his head. "We're definitely not."
"Good, then Lightning will sleep in my room." Noctis was still waiting for us.
I gave him a glare. "No. I'll be sleeping on that chair of yours. End of discussion."
I ran past Cloud and Noctis, but before I slammed the door leaving the guys outside. I gave them a small smile. "Good night."
I walk down the hall and finally found the chair that Noctis likes sitting in. I sit on it and then lean on my arm. I sighed. "This is one chair that I'll love sleeping in." I said sarcastically. I close my eyes for some sleep.
You are the Crystal Portal. You have to find the other Crystals, each has a power to help you on your journey to me. I grant your wish and in return you watch my egg, but that only matters in time I will hatch. If you do not make it in time that I will hatch, I will destroy your world and other worlds. I hear this soft child's voice in my head.
How can I find them? I thought.
Your Crystal will react when you are close to those who are Crystal holders like you. You have already found the boy named Cloud. He has the power to conquer the sky. The child's voice then became serious. There are some with Dark Shards that do the same as you do and as the other Crystals. Watch out, they want my immortality by cracking my egg too early. If they do that, the worlds will stop and only one world will survive, will be the one they pick.
Now Find Me! The child's voice roared and I felt my heart throbbed in pain. I woke up with my heart still throbbing in pain. I stand up and walk over to the bathroom, but as my hand touches the knob. The pain doubled.
"So, a game to find the other Crystal of this world." I said and I felt a pang in my head. "Fine."
I walk back to the big chair that I was sleeping on. I take a couple steps to Cloud's room. The pain was still there. Maybe Noctis is the other Crystal...
I walk over to Noctis's room and the pain in my heart slowly disappeared. I smiled, but then frowned. He's more annoying than Cloud.
I knock on his door. "You awake?"
I hear some blankets moving. A low "Yea" answered back.
I opened the door. Noctis was sitting on his big bed holding something in his hand. I point at it. "What is that?"
Noctis sighs. "I have no idea...It was just floating above me when I was sleeping"
"I can't believe I have to explain to you and Cloud what that thing is and what we're supposed to do..." I sighed.
The door then slammed open and Cloud was holding a dark yellow crystal. "Lightning! I found a-."
He sees that Noctis has a dark blue crystal in his hand. "Okay never mind. It seems like the emo guy has one to."
I laugh a little. "You got that right."
"Shut up." Noctis frowns.
I take a deep breath and explained the dream that I had to them and to Noctis of the whole disaster of all of worlds.
"Wait, we have to travel worlds?" Noctis asked. "That's just crazy."
Cloud glares at him. "We have to wait until this week is over."
"Six more days to go." I look to my right to see sun rising. "We should train if those people with the Dark Shards come here to have a fight."
"We'll be ready by then." Cloud smirks.

"You have got to be kidding." I said looking at this town dump.
Snow shrugs. "My friend said there's this old lady that knows everyone."
Sazh sighs. "It's a good thing we left Dajh with Serah."
"It's like a maze out here. Snow?" Hope asks.
"Yeah?" Snow answered back.
Hope points at a sign in the far right of the town. "Is the place over there?"
Snow pats his head. "That's right, now let's go!"
"This'll be one hell of a fun time." I sighed. Vanille looks up at me with a smile. "It'll be all right!"
I smiled back. "Sure."

(Yuffie's POV *Midgar*)
I sigh as I skip rocks in a small pound.
"What's with the sigh?"
I turn around with a smile to Vincent. "Cuz Cloud's not here and it's getting boring here~!"
Vincent pats my head. "He'll be all right and it won't take long for him to come back to our world."
I smile widely and jump to hug him. "Thanks for cheering me up!"
When I let go, something very bad happened. The water in the pond started to turn black. I back away slowly and so does Vincent. I tug on his ripped red cape. "What is that?"
Vincent glares at the water. "It can't be him."
I gasped. "You mean Sephiroth?"
Vincent puts his hand in front of me. "Stay here."
I look at the water ripple and someone flew up to the air with a long sword.
He lands in front of us. His silver hair and his evil glare felt like it went through my soul. I gripped onto Vincent's cape. "What do you want Sephiroth?"
"As I thought, Cloud isn't here." Sephiroth smirks.
"Then why are you here?" Vincent glares at him.
Sephiroth laughs. "Giving the most beautiful gift of all."
He points his sword at me and not Vincent "The dark side."
I felt something overtaking me and everything turned black.
(Vincent's POV)
Yuffie fell into my arms. I glare at Sephiroth. "What did you do to her?!"
He folds his arms and shrugs. "She is one of the Dark Shards that I need to fully complete my side of this war."
"What war?" I asked.
Sephiroth laughs. "You wouldn't know."
He then snaps his fingers. Yuffie pushes me away and walks towards Sephiroth. "Yuffie! Get a hold of yourself!"
I grab her arm and when she turned her head towards me, her eyes where red. She glares at me and pushes me. "Sephiroth is the only one for me!"
She then jumps up into Sephiroth's arms. My heart fell in pain. Why Yuffie?
