Cloud arrived safely to Destiny Island. He was told that he was summoned to see Sora again after all this time. He of course told Tifa were he was going to wind up this time before he left. It turned out that Cloud remembered the last time he was here....At the hero meeting...It's been that long. But it must be important for Sora to bring him all the way here.
After re-gaining his confidence, Cloud was not the same warrior he was when he last saw Sephiroth and Sora at the same time. And if not for Tifa, he never would've won that fight so long ago. A lot of memories filled his head as he waited for Sora again on the beach. This must be Sora's favorite place. After all the hero meeting was held here.
Cloud stopped his bike. And got off it. He had to keep his eyes peeled for any Heartless wondering around...This place was crawling with them. Now that the bad guys were coming back. And releasing them....It was quiet though...All except the nature sounds and the oceans beating against the shore line...Pretty if you liked this kind of place. Cloud only enjoyed the beach if he was Tifa though. He was sorta getting bored. He wished he could check the time on his phone. But he knew phones probably did not work in this world.....

Sora was sitting in a tree looking at the water from above. He finally got some time to relax since his last adventure battling heartless and nobodies, but now they've started to rise again, now would be the time to pull out the keyblade and practice a bit, make sure he didn't lose his fighting skills. He had invited Cloud to Destiny Island, he wanted a practice buddy, and seeing as in the olympus tournaments he got his butt kicked by Cloud, this would be a good person to pick. Sora could train up and get even better than he was before.
Sora looked down and noticed Cloud arrive. Sora jumped down from where he was sitting and walked over to Cloud. "Hey Cloud!" Sora grinned as he went to greet cloud. It had been awhile but not too long, Sora kept up with his newly made friends from his adventures from time to time. Of course now that darkness was back they'd all see alot more of eachother. As Sora made his stride over to Cloud a shadowy hearless popped up. Simple little creature, just a whack and boom it was gone. Sora's keyblade appeared and he took a whack at it and well, it disappeared. But then more just started to pop up. Destiny Island had problems with the heartless but they seemed more irritating right now than ever before.

"Hey! Sora!" Cloud called out to him. But a Heartless came out of no where! One Cloud was not prepared for! But luckily Cloud saw that Sora took care of it. But then more Heartless popped up...."So why'd you ask me here any way?" Cloud being calm and collected asked Sora why he was needed here even with the Heartless surrounding them both! Cloud swung out his huge sword taken out about three Heartless at the same time!
"Ya know! This was not the welcoming party I thought would come!!" Cloud said as they started to fight...A light blue stream of light channels out of Cloud's sword and it blasts a Heartless to pieces!!

At least Sora wasn't alone to handle the heartless. He knew they would be okay. Cloud was a skilled swordsman, and Sora was a keyblade master, so it was all going to turn out fine with just a couple lousy heartless. "Heh. Sorry about that." Sora said swinging his keyblade away at heartless left and right. "Not the welcoming party i wanted to give you." He said with a laugh before he slashed down on the last heartless. At least for the time being. Sora held his keyblade tight and rested it on his shoulder as he turned to look at Cloud. "I wanted to ask you if you could help me with some training. You know, get more skilled so I don't get demolished or turned into a heartless again?" Sora said explaining why he had asked cloud here. "I figured that you are a very talented swordsman and I could really use your help, but if you can't ill understand seeing as everyone is getting busy with the darkness rising." Sora hoped cloud would help him. He didn't know anyone else to really help him with this sort of thing. Next person he would probably go to would either be Yuffie or Leon(squall) but he didn't want to seem like an annoyance and just barge in, so he asked cloud, giving him the option to decline.

More skilled...huh.... So Sora wanted more sword training? Cloud would be happy to give him that. "Sora...I'd be honored helping you train up.....That is if we get out of this alive! It's about this bad where I'm from! The Heartless just pop up on you on the spot!! Damn this Darkness!!! HA!!! Got another one!! How ya doing over there?!!"
As he told Sora, Cloud would be glad to help the kid get better. Hell, this day in age you have to have some sword skill....Cloud also saw the will and determination in Sora's eyes....He really wanted Cloud to help him...."Just gotta call Tifa and let her know where I am so she won't get worried...." Another Heartless fell down dead by Clouds sword! The question was to Cloud....His sword was not exactly like Sora's...Hell it was nothing like Sora's! But Cloud would try his best...Finally the Heartless were in smaller numbers and were losing this little fight....They would run like they always do!!

Sora was pleased to hear Cloud's response. So he would help. That was great! Sora split another heartless down and soon they all started to retreat. At least it wasn't the tough stuff this time, just the local annoyance. Sora sighed as the heartless retreated. "Sometimes it gets really old ya know? Fighting these things all the time." He then smiled and cheered up. "Tifa? Right i remember her. Go ahead, give her a call and just let me know when you're ready to start training!" Sora said with his wacky grin. "Hopefully the uprising of darkness and the organization can hold off for a couple days...or longer, just to get some of the good guys prepared and ready."

No joke! This was getting old! These were the easy Heartless actually! Cloud wanted some real action for a change. But he did not wish upon it. He was not stupid. He knew he could not put his life in danger. Not when there was some one waiting for him to come home now. Meaning Tifa. Speaking of which, Cloud did just that and left Tifa a message on her cell why he was here....And that he would be very careful. After that he closed up his phone and stuck it back in his pocket....
"Ya know you're probably besides Zack the most wackiest dude I've met...." Cloud was not being mean. He liked to laugh and smile more now. And even Sora would see that extra spark of Lightness in Cloud's eyes....It was all because of Tifa....But hey Cloud was happy!! That was way beyond the norm!!!

Sora chuckled as Cloud's comment. "Thanks, I try." He said with a grin. He was glad to see Cloud was happy, it was an obvious change anyone who had met him before could see. So Cloud had found his light right? It seemed like it. He then looked at where the heartless had retreated. "Who knows maybe in the next few weeks we'll find a legit challenge." Sora shrugged walking towards the shore line before turning back to Cloud. "Have you heard from anyone else? Anything going on back in Radient Garden?" He wondered how they were getting along back there. Hopefully well and hopefully they were fully aware of all the mess that was going to happen. Once again Sora would be there to fight with them all. Just like last time, and the time before that.
"Anyways, Training!" Sora went back to his wacky smile then.

"Training it is! So what'd ya wanna learn first?" Cloud asked as he stood at the ready...He was glad to be thought of as good enough as teaching some one some new moves with their sword. Cloud never used the Key Blade. But he's seen enough to know. "Not much I can tell you about other parts of the world just yet....Besides the Realms of Darkness and this place is the only place's I've out side my own....So come on...Let's just see how good you are huh...Show me your best move!"

"Well I was hoping you had some like techniques with sword handleing, not that mine is like your's but same basic idea." Sora shrugged. "Im more of a run up and hit it kinda guy and not very great on the defense." Sora then heard cloud tell him to show him his best move. What fight right now? Sora wondered how many seconds it would take Cloud to annhialate him. Probably not very many seeing as Sora got his butt kicked back in the olympus collesium. But that was awhile ago, sora had learned new things, new skills, and new tactics. Maybe he would take on Cloud and survive a few minutes. "Okay then, lets give it a go." He said gripping his keyblade tightly in his hands.
Sora thought of his best move and jumped in the air starting the attack with an airial combo of different swipes of the keyblade.

Cloud simply smiled! As Sora started to attack. An attack from above was always exciting! So what Cloud did next was leap up before Sora could even touch him! It was very fast and Cloud was not even using the Mako Energy ((Or J Cells for that matter))....To strike an attack on Sora! It was the way Sora had his sword positioned that was easy to dodge! "Have to do better than that!" Cloud instructed...As he blocked the blow with one swipe of his sword! And when Cloud would hit Sora's sword it would send Sora falling unless Sora came up with a back up plan!

Sora saw this coming, thank goodness his mind worked a lot faster than before. Sora flipped backwards- in the air after Cloud blocked the attack. Sora landed on the sand easily. As he landed he did a dodge roll to one side and began a new kind of attack. He ran and did a side attack doing a continuous counter attack, it wasn't easy seeing as Sora didn't want to hurt Cloud, not that he could, but it still made things a little harder when you wanted to give a full blown attack. Sora then backed off a bit. "See, Im okay against heartless, just hit'em and run but it seems my attacks are so...predictable." Sora said with a shrug. "Any ways to be more...stealth?" Just then Sora heard something that sounded like a scream, feminine. It almost sounded like Kairi. Knowing Sora he would fall for it.
He turned towards the sound of the scream. "That sounded like Kairi." He said alert. Of course it wasn't it was just a lure, but how would they know that?

"Come on! Don't be scared to take me down!!" Cloud shouted after Sora landed in the sand! Cloud lunged down towards Sora he was gonna attack Sora at all force! But Sora was quick enough to dodge and roll! "NICE!" Cloud complimented...Cloud stood back straight up...Ready for the next attack....But he saw that Sora had stopped....And said he thought he heard Kairi.....Cloud at once grabbed Sora by the arm quickly so that Sora would not run into a trap!
"Hey! Wait! You don't know who that could be! Could be a trap....You said this place was crawling with Heartless? Don't assume the worst just yet....That gets you killed!"

Cloud was right but...
"What if it is Kairi!? What if she's in danger!? I can't let that happen." He said ripping out of Cloud's grip. He held his keyblade firmly and ran for the sound. If it was a trick he was ready anyway, and if Kairi was in danger they'd be sorry. Sora turned a corner and skidded to a hault in the sand. So Cloud was right. That was another thing, Sora never really stopped to listen to people. He stood there with almost a worried expression on his face as this GIANT heartless stood there. One he had faced before. It was a dark shadow heartless that stood about 10 feet high. Sora swallowed hard as he just ran into a big mistake. The shadow heartless launched its clawed hand down towards Sora but he moved quickly and shot hit magic to stun it. "Thunder!" Sora shouted and the monster heartless was stunned to give sora a good moment to attack.

Cloud simply sighed...This was the wrong thing to do! But Cloud had no choice but to follow Sora now! As he did he gripped his sword just in case! And Cloud ran through the brush only to find the ten foot Heartless! "Sora you don't do this....Oh man!!" Cloud swung his sword to his side...As he took a fighting stance!
"Hehe....Well, I did want some action! Bring it on big and ugly!!" Before Sora knew it Cloud engaged in the fight with the huge Heartless! And started to swing his sword all around very very quickly! Ducking and dodging blows from the Heartless! It seemed as one time Cloud swung his massive sword with his thumb!! Already Cloud was breaking a sweat! He gave Sora the chance to attack as well! Cloud's whole body brightened up in a light blue light every now and then....He was really bringing it!
