Welcome to Gaia! ::

in a flash of light and fire from the sky, the sun chariot raced across the sea and onto the shores of the Isle of Demon Tears and came to a stop "well .... that wasn't so bad" he said as the sudden stop had piled him on top of Ven and Mickey "i'm afraid i'll haf'ta disagree with ya there" Mickey said on the bottom of the pile as Ven had spirals in his eyes "so dizzy ... have we landed yet?"

Aqua was dizzy and fell out of the chariot, thank goodness she's landed on the sand. She slowly got up and placed her both hands on her temple, "Next time, I am using my keyblade glider. I didn't expect this chariot will be that fast," she said to herself before she dust herself off to get rid of sand. Zack got off, seems gotten use to ride chariot, when he was training with Phil and Herc. He looked at Ven before he chuckled nervously, "Yep we all are," he replied before he and Aqua noticed Daemons looking at them. Zack pulled out his Buster Sword and Aqua summoned her Storm Fall, she shook her head to get over the dizziness. "So that's the daemons Chaos was talking about, they better tell where Aerith is," he commented and ran straight towards daemon with Terra up front.
By the meadow, Aerith took care of it and heard the shout as she lifted her head and turned around where she heard the voices. She slowly got up, she can still feel daemons watching her move, so she gulped for the risk she might ended up. She starts to follow the sound, until she saw her boyfriend and rest of her friends, what's more surprising is four keyblade wielders since Vincent came to the island.

"hero time" Herc said with a smirk cracking his knuckles and ran along with King Mickey and Ven charging into the army of deamons. Mickey had both of his keyblades out before he jumped in the air doing a frontal flip spin and sliced through two deamons. Ven used a burst of speed and used a wind spell to catch three in a small tornado and sliced through them as well. Herc however was standing there until five were going for him and just smirked grabbing the closer deamon and brought his head down on said daemon's head causing a cloud of dust. When the smoke cleared, the oonly thing in front of herc was a huge crater "woah!" Ven said looking stunned for a second before going to the fight

Aqua and Zack were slashing their weapons against daemons, Aqua cast her firaga, blizzaga, and thundaga magic at daemons. Aqua heard Terra called her out about her son, which she suddenly noticed her wayfinder was glowing. Zack used his chain slash against few daemons at the same time Terra rush in to save Aerith from the animated skull cave. As the daemons were defeated by Aqua and Zack's attack and magic, Aerith was about to cover her head, but Terra rushed in and summoned the large rock spike to keep the jaw open. She looked at Terra in surprise, Zack took a notice as he call her out, "Aerith!" he called her out. Aerith turned her head towards her boyfriend, so she looked at Terra with a nod, "Thank you," she thank him and ran out of the cave to embrace her boyfriend's arms. However, this has to cut short because of the cave. Aqua looked at her wayfinder for a while before she focus on the daemon cave, "I will track Vin later, right now it seems Daichi won't allow her to leave," she said to herself, assuming this cave head wanted to imprison Aerith as she looked at her. Aerith heard Aqua talking about Vincent, so she looked at her in surprise, "Vin? He left after I told him something happen to a half demon girl name Mitsuki from strange soldier with a mask, who works with Lady Arachne," Aerith spoken out to her about Vincent. Aqua turned her head towards Aerith in shock, "You met my son?" she spoke too soon this startled both Zack and Aerith as they both looked at her with wide eyes, "Your son!"

"I will explain later," said Aqua to Zack and Aerith with a smile, after Ven remind them about huge skull cave. She noticed Herc gave Ventus a boost to the air, and he was glided, until she realized where did he learn this ability from. Aqua, Zack and Aerith were about to join in, but Terra, Ven and Herc dealt with skull cave. After giant cave monster defeat, Aqua smiled in relief and made her keyblade disappeared, Zack twirled his buster sword to his back. Just as Terra return with Ven and Herc, and Terra was about to finish, but she, Zack, and Aerith felt the island shook violently as they try to regain their balance. Aerith can hear the voice at the same time Terra cast his earth spell for the earth pillar lifted them up in the air. Aerith head to the the edge to observe it, Aqua was about to stop her, but Zack grabbed his friend's arm, "Zack?" "Aerith is the last Cetra, also known as Ancient, it is said they are deeply spiritual, they can communicate Planet. Whatever this life in this island is, it is talking to her," Zack revealed Aerith's true nature as last Cetra, and her able to hear the voice on any place she can communicate that has signs of life. Aqua was surprised from Zack to learn about Aerith, Yuffie cleared her throat, "To be precise, Aerith is actually half Cetra and half human," she correctly added about Aerith's hybrid species, Zack rubbed back of his head with nervous grin. Aqua looked at Aerith, who was focusing on shape of the man with darkness, "A man, but it has aura filled with absolute darkness. He is heading to the different island," she said to Terra from the voice of the life in daemon island spoken to her.

Aerith smiled at Herc and Ventus, "I'm Aerith, I guess I should stick with Vincent next time when I meet him, and it's nice to meet you again your majesty, since the Radiant Garden," she introduce herself to Herc and Ventus, and avoiding confusion between Vincent and Ventus. Zack wrapped his arm around Aerith's shoulder and grinned happily, he heard Terra as he turned his head towards him as Aerith followed before she looked at Zack. Zack smiled at his friend, "Of course, I can't wait to rematch you guys, and probably Aqua's son," he agreed as Aerith giggled about his eagerness.
Aqua decide to help Terra, so she threw her keyblade up and tapped her right side of her armor to brighten up the light around her before the light went away to shown her in armor. Her keyblade guider flew downward besides her. She looked at Mikhailie before she hopped on, "Mikhailie, we might need your help, I don't know you have th armor or the guider, but Ven or I will give you a ride there," she spoken to her that she could use her help. Zack looked at Herc as he looked eager, "So when do we head to Coliseum, and we seems to have a lot of catching up to do. Aerith can watch us, same goes to my friends, if they want to sign up the practice."
