"Well yes I can. But I think we should help them first. The heartless won't dissapear without doing something first."Vivi said with his face turned to vincent. He then looked at Zidane for a few minutes as he took charge of the situation. A typical thing zidane would do. Vivi then said to Zidane,"You are really right Zidane." He then turned back to vincent and said,"My name is Vivi." Vivi then thought to himself. I wonder when the heartless will get here because I'm eager to fight them off. I'm definetly no soldier but I'm better than one." Vivi then said to zidane,"We're better than soldiers."

"Naive... I'm doing what I can from this end, Vincent. If you get into trouble Cait Sith has got a cure and a fire materia." The cat's eyes closed, "smiling" briefly before opening once more as if it were in thought. The cat, like any normal feline, seemed to ignore the soldier's remark regarding pets. He paused there briefly as they came up on the camp, before shifting to settle himself against Vincent's cape.
"Though I am unsure of the affects of materia in this world, they may not even work. If anything, I can be bait if trouble comes. Though I would regret losing the data I'm collecting."
Cait Sith stopped speaking, feeling he's more than pushed the boundaries of suspicion. A flick of his tail could be seen as he leaped off of Vincent's shoulder, landing on the ground with a silent pad of his paws.

Now out of earshot from the soliders as they followed the dirt road towards their destination, Vincent breathed out and nodded, his time able to speak to Cait Sith again without looking crazy. "Understood." he said to him, wishing he had his own materia to be able to confirm to Reeve on the other end that they actually worked in this world. But Yuffie, being the ninja theif as she was, had taken poscession of all of it shortly after Meteorfall. Which was fine enough, as Vincent was more than powerful without it.
Zidane stopped them before the river as he accused Vincent of abandoning their mission, and sighed even more so when Vivi joined in. "You are too quick to jump to conclusions. I did not say we will leave the Heartless to take over." he said sternly to Zidane, his amber eyes focused on him, then trained them on Vivi as he introduced himself along with the information Cait Sith could collect for his data. "Vivi. You were there at Disney Castle with me and the keybladers. You heard the King. You should know just as well as I do that the Heartless are stronger and more abundant in numbers. We need an exit strategy if we are to become overwhelmed."
He looked at the monkey boy again, as he seemed eager to take the lead. Which was fine with him, as he was used to letting Cloud lead, and was more than happy to let a bold, courageous youth lead at the point and take the brunt of any Heartless assault while he covered support with his arsenal of guns. "By the way, this here is my associate, Cait Sith." he introduced the cat that had jumped off his shoulder briefly. "He is a machination of my friend Reeve, who is off-world currently, so basically he is a robotic puppet. He will be assisting us." His gaze shifted from the black and whie cat to Zidane, who now even though had volunteered to be their leader, still had not revealed his identity. "And you are...?"
Shortly after, they were cut short by the sound of Heartless appearing. Assault Rider and Air Pirate Heartless appeared in groups of four, quickly charging the group. Vincent whisked out Cerebus and in a gunflash, shot at one of the Assault Riders. "You asked for it." He said to anyone in particular, the meaning applying universally.

Zidane listened to Vincent's reasoning, maybe he wasn't as heartless and creepy as he seemed, but he wasn't going to just accept that he was what was considered 'normal' by people on his own world. "I'm Zidane." He said bluntly, but introductions to Reeve's robot cat and talking to Vivi would have to wait. Heartless appeared and Zidane moved into action, "These must be those shadow creatures the captain was talking about."
Zidane drew his daggers, spinning them in his hands before attacking, he zoomed around, jumping to attack enemies that seemed to be coming from the air, waving the daggers and sending no more than 5 Heartless to thier maker.

"I know I was there at disney castle. I know what Mickey had said. Oh here comes the shadow creatures that the captain was talking about." Vivi said as he looked at the heartless that just appeared in front of them. Vivi used to his teleport spell to get behind one of the assault riders and then attacked it with his staff. He repeatedly did a teleport and attack until he destroyed four of the assault riders. He then launched a thundaga spell at the air pirates. A second later it landed on two of them making them dissapear.

Great time to jump down... Reeve thought to himself sarcastically, his Cait Sith doll just narrowly avoiding an unseen boot or two. The Heartless ignored the cat, it wasn't too surprising given that the cat itself had no Heart. Had Reeve been a little closer than an entire world away he might have been in danger, as he didn't know if his own Heart could be sensed through the actions of the puppet.
It was a pity, Cait Sith's megaphone was still stuck on that cursed moogle up in the tree far too many feet away. It didn't matter, without the power source within that plushie the megaphone was little more than a microphone to yell at his comrades with. As of now, the cat could do little other than dodge and duck, swiftly moving as only a feline can.
"Vincent!"
A materia was launched at the pale man, Reeve's (for it was Reeve that used it, not Cait Sith) own warm and well-used Fire materia. Cait Sith avoided being hit by a passing blow, crouching against the ground with an audible curse before the doll disappeared into the undergrowth.

The bullets spun out and damaged the Assault Rider, allowing Vivi to finish it off with his powerful Thundaga spell. No sooner than Zidane and Vivi had finished of the Heartless, more Heartless in twice the number than the last group emerged, consisting of a large group of Assault Riders, Nightwalkers and Hook Bat Heartless.
Vincent said nothing as Cait Sith threw his Fire Materia to him which he caught as he ran, no time to consider why Reeve was offering to him his puppet's only offensive magic, and loaded it into the customsied slot within Cerebus with one hand as he jumped to avoid the charge of an Assault Rider. With the other hand, he aimed within the group where he could do the most damage, and squeezed the trigger. Almost instantaneously, the Firaga spell launched in the form of a fireball and exploded within the coven of Heartless, obliterating some of them.
The Assault Rider that charged him came for him again with it's spear, and Vincent dodged, feeling the blade tip tear through his side. He spun around towards the same side he had been struck, absorbing the blow, and grabbed it's lance as he aimed and fired again with the Fire Materia. The giant Heartless exploded and disappeared, and Vincent landed on the ground, clutching his side.
He felt the pain and was hurt considerably, but it was nothing that couldn't heal itself over. He didn't consider it any further, noticing the Heartless attack Zidane and Vivi, and shot with his regular ammo to take out two Hook Bats that were about to impale them. The Fire Materia had taken out half of his magic power, so he decided to conserve it for later.
He heard Cait Sith wander off into the bushes undected by the Heartless, hoping the puppet wasn't damaged so he could keep in contact with Reeve without having to resort to his cell phone.

Zidane took a step back as more Heartless began to appear, he smiled a little, "At least it isn't going to be boring right?" he said to the group as the strange cat went away. Frowning a little Zidane shrugged and rushed up to hit a Assault Rider, leaping from the one he hit, leaping up into a swarm of Bat Hook Heartless that had began swarming from the skies. Zidane was keeping in the air by using the momentum from each swing.
He wouldn't be able to keep going forever but the creatures kept coming, then Zidane jumped off one Heartless, throwing an explosive pouch into the swarm, detoninating in the center of the group when it hit a Bat Hook.
But Zidane was heading groundwards, he shot out one arm into a dead tree with his dagger reducing his speed as he carved a way down to the ground. When he hit the ground he looked at the scene, there was still plently of Heartless to go around!

Vivi watched as more heartless appeared and thought. Are these things endless? After this thought Vivi noticed that machaninized cat toss a red like rock thing. Vivi paayed no mine to this because he thought it wouldn't work. That thought was quickly dispelled though when he saw Vincent fire a firaga like bullet twice at some heartless. He began to wonder how he used a rock like thing to use magic. While he was wonder he was knocked into the air by an assault rider. He quickly retailiated by casting an firaga spell on the assault rider that attacked him. He then used his thundaga spell on the hook bats.

Either there are traces of the Lifestream here, or materia don't require the Lifestream to function. Reeve thought to himself as he watched Vincent use the Fire materia with ease. The black mage, Vivi, looked as if he were interested in the mechanics but the cat-like mechanism had no time to study the other person's reaction. He had his own plans.
There was a reason for the plushie. The cat portion of Cait Sith did hold many of the monitoring elements of the mechanical doll, but it wasn't built for constant walking and running. The moogle, though slow and unweildy, was his literal steed with enough room in it's bulbous body to hold a small battery and a little armor. The body took the brunt of many attacks, it's damage easily repaired if not too extensive (i.e. complete obliteration) thus ensuring the cat stay intact in order to continue its observations. The combination had worked thus far and would probably do well in the future.
The cat had made it's way back to the tree, climbing up it's trunk before disappearing into the foliage with a soft curse. Birds that had flown back after the group left flew away once more as the upper branches shook violently, another curse ringing out before that large moogle body landed gracelessly on the ground.
"The could have helped me, but no. Get your own -beeping- moogle, Reeve." The cat, which had landed on top of the plushie sighed, actually slapping his palm against his fore head. "I have got to stop listening to Cid's foul mouth. He seems to be rubbing off on me."
The moogle's chest was opened without ceremony, that cat digging it's claws in here and there before shoving the cure materia into a slot and shutting the chest with a grunt. There was a whining noise before the Plush sat up with a twitch.
"You will have great success today if you stick it through to the end. D-don't let your enemies k-ke-keep you down! Luck-k-ky color: Red. Lucky number-numb-num-number: 4."
"Status, Cait Sith?"
"He-hello Reeve! W-would you like some cook-coo-cookies?"
The cat mimic's Reeve movement of rubbing his forehead so many worlds away. The moogle slumped for a moment as if it were shut off before stiffening once more as the cat climbed onto it's back.
"Safety S-systems on. Control option: Manual. L-li-limit Break: off. F-fortu-tune System: off. V-voice mechanism sh-shutting dooooww...."
The moogle went silent before it started moving jerkily through the undergrowth, back toward the skirmish at hand.

Zidane and Vivi had taken out a majorty of the Hook Bats and two of the Assault Rider Heartless, and with having obliterated another Assault Rider Heartless and all of the Nightwalkers, that only left him one Assault Rider left. Vincent cringed in pain as the Assault Rider started spinning around it's lance in a attempt to defend itself, and shook his head as if he could shake off the pain at the same time. He shot a couple more times with Cerebus, disintergrating the giant Heartless into the wind.
Being the last Heartless destroyed, four times the amount of Heartless than the last now appeared. This time four large Bolt Towers, a a dozen or so Neoshadows and thousands of Rapid Thruster Heartless appeared in the air above them. Vincent did not change his stoic facial expression, but he did not like the look of these numbers of Heartless one bit. It only confirmed his worries about what the king had said about the powers of the Heartless appearing. If this was the case, how many Heartless were going to appear after this?
He fired another Firaga shot into the swarm of Heartless, exploding upon impact of one Rapid Thruster and taking out at least a dozen or so. He examined the others fighting nearby; they still seemed in pretty good shape. How long were they willing to fight for? Until they were exhausted, or got fatally injured? It wouldn't hurt if they started organizing a back-up exit strategy now.
"Reeve?" he queried in a raised tone of voice towards the bushes where he had last seen the cat disappear, and heard nothing. Probably he found a safe position elsewhere to collect his data.
During his distraction, a Neoheartless had snuck up on him and slashed him with his claws. Vincent flinched and shot back in self-defense, extinguishing it's life as it's shadow wisped into the air like the cold chill from the mountain summit. "Watch out!" he raised his voice louder as the Rapid Thruster swarm swooped down on Zidane and Vivi, as the Bolt Towers powering up with swells of thunder magic.

Happiliy destroying Heartless Zidane sighed as he sent another into a deep shadowy oblivion, he felt more at home that he had found Vivi, but this joy wasn't entirely complete, it was missing something or someone. As he was starting to get into a rythm he suddenly heard Vincent's voice, telling him to...watch out?
Zidane looked around and his eyes locked onto a swarm of Rapid Thruster creatures, they were an awesome sight as they travelled but Zidane wasn't worried, looking at the lightning charging he looked over his shoulder at Vivi, "You sure you can handle this?" Zidane was half joking, he was concerned about his friend but he knew that Vivi was good enough.
Jumping through the swarm Zidane knocked a few, killing them, but then he landed on the other side, throwing a dagger at one that swooped but it wasn't enough, Zidane looked at the others, awaiting thier actions and decisions so he could make his own move.

"Yes." Vivi said as he focused his attention on the Bolt Towers. As they charged up their thunder magic Vivi cast blizzaga on the charges. That caused the charged up thunder magic to freeze which allowed him to take on them more easily. To get rid of the bolt towers he cast aero on them throwing them up into the air. He then teleported up by them and cast meteor on them. As he jumped from meteroid to meteroid he cast blizzaga before teleporting back to the ground

"C'mon y'owld bag o'fluff!" Cait Sith emerged from the undergrowth triumphant, those massive "fists" striking out at any black skinned foe that might be about. The feline astride the moogle cried out commands through his megaphone, pointing his paw in the air every so often as the jerky steed did as told. "C'mon! You can handle a hit or two, yew stupid, useless stuffed animal!"
The moogle didn't respond, it didn't have to as it was only a stuffed animal. The creature only shifted, somehow grabbing that feline and launching it into the air as it's overstuffed body took the brunt of an attack. The cat sailed through the air, bouncing off of the head of one of the creatures before landing on the ground.
"Vincent, now would be a good time to seek out some assistance. The thunder spells are interfering with my information feeds."

Vincent fired his last Firaga shot into the swarm of Rapid Thruster Heartless, decimating more of their number. That was the last of his magic power, so he couldn't fire any more of the powered shot. Which seemed a shame, because there were still a lot of Rapid Thruster Heartless to go around.
He saw Zidane tackle the Rapid Thruster swarm, hoping he would come out in one piece. He heard Reeve's request, and honestly couldn't care less about his 'information feeds' being disrupted. But then again, Reeve had thrown him the Fire Materia, and the Bolt Tower Heartless were still a threat... it was time to repay the favor for Cait Sith.
"No, Reeve... now would be a good time for an exit strategy. Arrange one with Vivi."
With no need for it for the moment, Vincent disconnected the Fire Materia, and threw it back to Cait Sith. Then, he holstered Cerberus, drew a deep breath, and transformed - bright light flashed around him, and he grew into a tremendous size. His muscles buldged and hardened, tore in places and were sewn over with stitches, and bolts appeared in his neck and back. His golden armor buckled at the tremendous weight, his tattered cloak shifting down to become nothing more than a tattered belt. The golden light disappeared, and the monster bellowed out a deep inhuman battle cry.
He had become Death Gigas.
In this form, he could absorb electricity from the Bolt Tower Heartless, while ripping them to pieces. The new strength came at a price, however - he was too slow, and before he could plod over to the Bolt Towers, Vivi had taken care of them with a impressive display of magic.
So instead, Vincent took care of the remaining Neoshadows. He slammed his giant fists into them, shattering their lithe forms into pieces as they jumped at him, and then ripping apart the last one with his bare hands. Looking up at the cluster of Rapid Thrusters, his grim mask of a face turned into a twisted smile, thinking it wasn't so bad he was in this form, after all. His weight made it impossible to get airbourne to reach them, but that didn't matter. He thumped his chest like a angered gorilla, shooting a storm of electricity from his chest, initciating his Livewire attack at the Rapid Thruster cloud.
He just hoped he didn't hit anybody... because he couldn't afford to carry anybody. They needed to get out of here, and fast. The Rapid Thrusters were increasing in number...
