Namine and Even were working on the procedure and the machine which should stabilize Xion... however they weren't making any progress since one major problem kept showing up: They were unable to make a fitting replacement of Sora's memory of Kairi.

Namine sighs loudly and sat down... if she were able to replicate the said memory than the disappearance of Roxas and Xion wouldn't be necessary to wake Sora up in the first place back at the time were the first organization was around. Though she doubts that DiZ would have agreed on this… he was completely consumed in his hatred for nobodies at this time.

Even sat down as well... they didn't share a word but it was clear what they thought... if they somehow could work around the problem.

In this moment came Ienzo in and told "Even! Here is a girl who was interested into the assistant job you wrote out."

Even looked at him and told "Let her in... I have nothing better to do right now."

The young man nods and makes space. From the door comes a young woman with a grey pair of pants, a black jacket, purple shirt and black shoes. Her hair color is purple with pink eyes.

She waves a hand and told "Hi! I am Faith."

"Welcome Faith." told Namine and told "I am Namine, and this is Even."

"Pleased to meet you! Hope my suddenly appearance won't cause any trouble." told Faith and Even shock his head "Don't worry about it. I can need a new assistant since we are currently shorthanded with addition that some of my equipment needs care while Namine and me I were on a problem" told Even "Ienzo can you show around and tell what her duties would be."

"Got that!" told Ienzo "Thought if you don't mind… what kind of problem are you working on? Perhaps I can help." suggested Faith.

Even shock his head "I doubt you were on would be any help since this happens to the expertise of Namine and mine… and we are the only ones who understand the whole situation due said expertise."

"Let her give a try." reasoned Namine "Perhaps she can give us a new view of the subject. A different view might give us the edge to help Xion and on the long run Kuran."

"Did you say Kuran?" asks Faith suddenly "As in… Kuran Yuma?"

"You know him?" asks Namine and Faith nods "You can bet on it! What happened to him?"

Namine looks down sadly "He took something meant for a Keybearer named Sora and is now a puppet of Xehanort. I don't know if you know or heard of him but he is the reason why Maleficent started her conquer over the worlds, which resulted in disaster over many worlds."

"So… he is also the reason why my world is gone." answered Faith "And he made Kuran a puppet? Where is he? I want to give him a mind on what he did to me!"

"If we knew where Xehanort's location might be is, we would be in less problems." answered Even "And even if we knew how to get Xehanort… we still have a minor problem with somebody else."

"You mean this Xion right?" asks Faith "Who is this?"

"Xion is a being called Replica." told Even "I created them through data of other people… it took quite a while to create the first successful one but the project brought some interesting results, but also some that I am not proud of on hindsight. We are not sure how but Kuran's heart escaped into her and stabilized her for the time being."

"Stabilize her? What is wrong with her?" wondered Faith and Namine explains "It is a very long story but to make it short: For her to exist she needs a certain memory but this memory belongs to somebody else. Kuran's heart is filling these memories with darkness currently. However it is only a temporary solution. What she needs are these particular memories. Though if we remove them from the one they belong to, we might damage him with unforeseen results."

"And how about you just copy these memories?" asks Faith however Namine shock her head "I can create fake memories or relocate them… but I am unable to replicate said memories."

Faith nods and suddenly had an idea "Can you relocate these memories also in objects? Like a crystal?"

The nobody thought about it for a moment and then she told "I guess… but for that the crystal needs to be able containing such a thing like a memory. And I am not expert of crystals."

"My people were such experts and we can even manipulate them." told Faith "All we need are the right crystals and merge them into three new ones. Two were for storing memories while the third duplicates the information of one crystal into another."

"Fascinating." told Even "It is a great theory and I think, it is worth to investigate it. However I am afraid I am not aware of a world which could contain any crystals, except for a few elementary ones."

"I fear I cannot contribute any help on this one." told Namine however Ienzo helped out "While we don't know any worlds with crystals, doesn't mean we have no information about such worlds."

Even looks up and asks "May you tell us what is in your mind Ienzo?"

"Simple: Before we were relocated to Castle Oblivion, I installed a hidden system into the computers of this castle. The idea was to create backups of anything which happens in the systems of the World That Never Was and the few computers we took with us to Castle Oblivion. While the connections with both computers were lost, the system did record everything until it happened. I am sure in the scout mission reports might be such a world. After all while not every world were deeper in the interest of the Organization, we still made records of all worlds we found." Explains the grey haired boy.

"This is brilliant Ienzo. Let's see if in the old systems were any worlds of interest." told Even and they went into the computer room.

Down there Ienzo types a few orders and a computer voice told "Greetings, User Ienzo. How may I be at your service?"

"Tron!" was his reply "Search for a hidden system within your parameters. Use for the search the Admidistrator ID Zexion. Password. Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saix, Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, Roxas, Xion and VI13-6. System name: OrgXIIIBackup"

"Of course! I start the search with given variables." told Tron and Faith whistles "You have an sentient computer?"

"It wasn't from us." told Ienzo "Our master, Ansem the Wise, copied the computer system of a corporation named ENCOM and reprogrammed it. It went under other reconfiguration over the years, making it what it is now."

"Though the current Program in control has always been here… it just took over after the Master Control Program has been deleted. It was necessary to save the town so far we are informed." told Even.

"I have found and accessed the requested system. What would you like to do?" told Tron out of the sudden and Ienzo explains "Search in the files about worlds which has high usages on crystals. However the crystal should be not only elemental. We need strictly reports about worlds where crystals are used for greater arrangement of tasks."

"Of course! I scan the files now" told Tron and on the screen were several screens open which indicates that several files are being scanned at the moment.

It took some time but Tron seems to have found something, bringing up a file named 'Atmos'.

Ienzo reads the file and told "It seems the world which contains the crystals we seek, uses as main transportation flying vehicles. And the population inhabitants so called 'Terras'. Island like mountains which stick out of a sea of clouds. The land under these clouds are inhospitable and even dangerous. Reaching this world is the smallest of problems we have to face… the larger one is moving around there. From the scout reports it seems we don't possess anything which resembles their type of vehicles."

"I think we will get around." told Faith "We just have to get there."

"I am not sure if Cid has still a Gummi Ship left." mused Even "But I am sure we will find something if we look around."

"Then how about a Star Shard?" offered Namine and Even shock his head "To unsure if the user cannot control it."

"And?" asks Faith "As long it can bring me to this Atmos, I really don't care about this. And besides: If this Star Shard is like a Crystal, then I am able to control it."

"But then you would be alone in a different world." told Namine "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Don't worry Namine." told Faith "I can defend myself."

"Alright." told Namine and the little group moves to the headquarters of the restoration committee. Nobody was here at the moment except for Merlin who recently came back from his home world to check on things.

"Oh! Hello!" told Merlin "Can I help you?"

"Hello Merlin." told Even "We were looking for a Gummi Ship or Star Shard to travel to a different world… we have a theory now on helping Xion however but we need some more materials."

"I assume these materials don't appear in Radiant Garden then." told Merlin and then he saw Faith "My my… it has been some time since I last saw one of your people! I thought you were gone for the darkness for sure."

"You know my people?" asks Faith in surprise while stepping closer "Indeed! I was on your home world a few times during my studies. Though I wonder… where is your own crystal?"

With a sign told Faith "I… must have lost it as my world fell into the darkness… afterwards I was for a long time in the control of a dark being. It's a long story of why I am here."

"I see!" told Merlin "Well I happen to have a Star Shard in my possession, though I rarely use it… after all I am a powerful sorcerer who can just teleport between the worlds! Just let me look where I put it down."

Faith glances around the house and mused "He needs somebody to clean this place up…"

"Indeed!" told Ienzo "By such a mess it is impossible that he-" "FOUND IT!" told Merlin and holds the Star Shard up. Walking over to Faith he hands it to her and asks "You know how to use it?"

"I will figure it out." was her answer "Thanks Merlin."

"Not a problem dear!" chuckles Merlin and close his eyes during it. Then he started to ask "So… what's your…" however Faith wasn't here anymore… "Name?"

He looks around for a moment and told "Guess she used the Star Shard… if she didn't had it right now, I would have wondered if she learned this disappearing trick from Batman…"

Faith has indeed used the Star Shard and moments later, she found herself on a mountain sticking out of a sea of clouds and she heard voices inside a nearby cave.

She went in and founds a sort of green guy and an anthromorphic reptile arguing over something. After getting a closer look she recognize it as a crystal… as one which existed in her world as well.

Then the green guy did something which caused her to scream "Don't do it!"

However… it was too late! The guy has gulped down the crystal and turns to her with the lizard as her scream.

"Ehh… who are you?" asks the Lizard and Faith told "Later… just get away from him before the crystal activates!"

"What?" asks the green guy in panic. He notices purple waves from his stomach and muttered "Oh-oh…"

The lizard and Faith began to ran, only for the green guy to fly towards the lizard and the collision came.

They were now sticking together back on back while Faith hold on a nearby rock. The green guy shouts "Get off from me!"

"No! You get off me!" told the Lizard and Faith told "You two are stuck together thanks to that crystal!"

"Oh boy!" began the lizard "Repton says he hates me so much already!"

Then he tried to pull the green guy off only to hit himself from a wall. Faith took the opportunity and holds her hand out and manipulated the crystal within the green guy with her powers… however she couldn't deactivate it in this situation… only weakening enough to prevent it to attract more objects

Then a boy with red hair came and asks "Ok… what is going on here?"

"This green fool gulped down a Graviton Crystal and now it is active." told Faith "And within a few hours it will be permanently permanent."

He wanted to ask for details but they heard the sounds of bikes and snarls. Turning back he told "Time to go! We have to figure this out on the condor."

Three more people came. A blond haired boy, a blue haired girl and… somebody with blue hair and a horn as nose came while the red haired boy climbs a rabbit/lemur-like creature with blue and white fur.

"Ehh… Aerrow… what is going on?" asks the blond haired boy and Arrow told "We clear it later! First we have to get on the condor!"

With that they lift up the Lizard-like being and together they transported him and the green guy attached on the back on board of a ship. It looks old and battle scared together with the symbol on the sides of hulls around the engines.

Faith has learned in the meanwhile that this lizard is a Raptor named Leugey and the green skinned one is Stork, a Merk which were people, who gets frightened a lot… which makes Faith wonder why this guy is working with the others.

The red haired boy is Aerrow, the leader of the group which are sky knights known as Storm Hawks. The blue haired girl is Piper and an expert on crystals and also the tactical of the group. The one with the horn is a Wallop named Junko, obliviously the muscles of the group. The blond haired guy is Finn and… he earned already a slap from Faith for trying to flirt with her. And the last of them, the animal is Radarr though she wasn't sure if he is a full member of the Storm Hawks or a Pet.

"So… you said earlier that if we don't separate them soon, they are stuck forever?" asks Aerrow and Faith nods "That's right."

"Then do something!" shouts Stork "I can feel his germs crawling over me."

"I got an idea!" told Junko and pulls from somewhere a flamethrower out, turning it on with a grin. Faith steps back and told "Junko… I doubt this is the right approach"

In this moment Leugey began to wake up and… as he saw a grinning Junko with a flamethrower in his hands, he began to scream and starts running, trying to get through the metal doors and in the end he dashes for the windows while Stork shouts "I'll never survive!"

The Raptor crashes against the glass and falls on the ground… with pulling the controls hard. The condor starts to fall towards the ground fast and Finn panics "Any more of this and we won't survive either!"

Aerrow got on the control and pulls the controls up, saving them from passing through the clouds into the dangerous lands underneath them.

Leugey stands up and told "Rapton has got to be mad! I gotta go!"

He turns, hitting Aerrow with Stork's feet and they began to storm towards the ground again. This time Faith was there and did the same trick Aerrow used to stabilize the Condor. Then Aerrow took over while Leugey panics "Boss gotta be mad if he saw me with our worst enemies."

Faith looks to him "Or he will be mad for you being here but not learning their secrets."

Aerrow understood what Faith is pulling and told "I would be mad with my people if they were by the enemy but not taking all secrets they could learn."

Leugey looks at the two humans and asks "Uh… you think?"

Everybody grins and nod to him. While Finn and Junko tell him about... their "Secrets" were Piper, Arrow and Faith talking.

"Ok you two" began Aerrow "What would you need to separate the two?"

"I think the combination of a few crystals would be enough to turn the crystal completely off, allowing them to separate." told Faith "However Problem is, these crystals are very rare at my home… and I bet this counts for all of Atmos."

"Which means here is only one who could have them all." told Piper and Aerrow told "Let me guess… Gundstaff? This isn't gonna be easy…"

"Why?" asks Faith and Piper explains "He is really tall."

"It is better not to ask how tall?" asks Faith and the two are nodding "How great."

Later as they stood in front of Gundstaff's door, which was a complicated flight since… thanks to Leugey, Faith knows now that Raptors and baths are not mixing, what sky sharks are and that they have terrible table manners which involves flying knifes.

She look up at the height of the door and told "I regret that I made even the 'Don't ask' question… what is he? A giant?"

"I told you: He is very tall." told Piper and Faith laughs weakly "I am not surprised if we are like vermins for him."

They found a hole where they could sneak in and were walking silently inside the house of Gundstaff. Faith looked around while they walked and was nearly stopping as she saw a chicken… a chicken of the size of the castle in Radiant Garden!

"Ok… better we don't wake him up." she whispered since they could hear clearly snoring noises from the table. She looks up and gulps at the mace laying there. She doubt that anybody of them could survive from this thing alone from the sheer size.

Piper stopped and whispered to the others "What we need is in the crystal vault." while pointing to the door of said vault.

"Right!" told Arrow and whispered to the others "Just stay quiet and we are home free."

Leugey shouts loudly "Ehh what? I can't hear you! Your talk is very far away!"

The others topped and turns to him and mention him to be silent and he told "Sorry!" only to make them the mention again.

"Maybe he is still asleep." whispered Stork but as they hear a roar and something hitting a table, Leugey told "Nope, he is awake."

Earth shaking foot stomps were heard and in front of the group was the giant Gundstaff. He shouts while raising his mace "Vermin! My laboratory is infected with tiny vermin!"

And he began to trash his mace into the ground, with everybody running off to be not hit. Leugey shouts "Hey! Nobody calls us Vermin! Eh… that is bad right?"

"Yeah!" shrudders Stork and the giant spoke "So the vermin speaks."

"I am not a Vermin! I am a honorary Storm Hawk" told the Raptor and Faith asks "When did he become a honorary?"

"As we were looking for a reason for him not to jump off the ship as you took a look at Piper's crystal collection." told Aerrow

"So honorary yeah?" asks Gundstuff "In this case I mush you first!"

"From now on, no more new members." told Aerrow and orders "Now!"

Everybody runs into the giants view and each of them calls at him, to distract him while Piper and Faith grabs Leugey and heads for the Crystal Vault.

As they were in the vault told Piper "Wow! There must be thousands of crystals! I just could spend days here-" but she stopped as an angry roar from Gundstuff and his mace hitting the ground were heard.

"Maybe next time." sweatdrops Faith and looks around "Now we have to find the right Crystals for seperating the two!"

Then she spots two boxes "And I am lucky!"

"Why?" asks Piper and Faith points over "These two smaller boxes! They contain the crystals I came for. And here I thought we had to make them as well."

"Then let's grab these first and toss them over and then we have to make the combination." offered Piper and Faith nods.

They made it with the help of some tools a winch traction and Leugey pulled Piper over every crystal she told them to move. Faith assist assisted and suggested a few different ones, in order to raise either the effect of the combination or to reduce the number of crystals.

Suddenly the door of the Vault was broken down by Gundstaff. Faith and Leugey could see that the other Storm Hawks were sitting tight in a box, trying to get free. He saw Piper with his Crystals and began to smash at her, with Faith and Stork telling Leugey to pull around the rope to get her into temporary safety.

As she was near one of the boxes with red crystals, she grabbed one and threw it at the Giant, which causes it to explode. Blinded by the light he swung around the mace.

As he hit the wall by accident, a very large crystal fell down, landing on Gundstuff's head. Afterwards his tossed up mace lands there as well and he collapses on the ground.

Piper cheered and got down to threw the crystals into a large bowl and the shiny stones reacted to each other, forming a new one. Piper told "One Combo-Deactivation Crystal Coming up! Nothing can stop us now!"

However they stopped at the sound of a motor bike and Piper was grabbed by a different Raptor and he told "I believe you have something that belongs to me!"

"Oh, ah… me?" asks Leugey and the other Raptor told "Fine! Two things!"

Two more Raptors came and Piper was tossed over while Faith managed to slip out of their attention to hide, thinking of a good way to help her… then she remembered about the content of one of the other boxes… and with a grin she began to climb.

"Oh boy, boss!" told Leugey in the meanwhile "You gonna not to believe what happened to me." and starts telling the things that happened to him with the leading Raptor shouting "Quiet!"

Then the attention goes to Stork "So you swallowed it? Then things could get… messy!"

"I don't think so!" shouts Faith. Everybody looks up and she starts tossing crystals down on the ground. Where the crystals hit, froze the ground and all Raptors were now running to not get frozen.

Aerrow, Finn and Junko were joining into the room while Piper uses the distraction to free herself from her hostage situation. One of the Raptors were pushed into one of the thrown crystals and was now a frozen statue while Leugey slipped on the ice and lands on Stork… who spit the Graviton Crystal out in the impact.

Faith dropped the crystals she were holding and shrugs "Perhaps we should have tried this earlier…"

Then she got down and Aerrow told "Let's beat it!"

With that the group began to run off the place and into the Condor, flying off from Gundstuff home. After leaving this place, Stork left for the bathroom for the rest of the week while Finn asks "What about Rapton? He has now the Graviton Crystal."

Faith and Piper began to laugh and Faith told "Without me, there is nothing that lowers the Graviton Crystals power…

"So it is now back to full power with all its Gravitation Force!" told Piper "Which means he goes through the same dillema with greater effects"

"I think Rapton realized by now it is more trouble than it's worth." told Aerrow and turns to Faith "So… what will you do now?"

"Now that I have the crystals I am looking for, I go home and solve the problem that brought me here in the first place." told Faith and Piper asks "Can we bring you home?"

"It's enough if you bring me to a hub where I can board another ship." told Faith "I have somebody to pick me up."
