(w00t, Ansem's involved! Great job everyone...)
Hollow Bastion...
"I was about to ask you the same... The name's John, what's your's?"
"Sora... And this is Donald and Goofy," said Sora. "We came here to find out what was causing the Heartless to reappear... The trail of darkness led us this far... So, we're about to go in and find out more."
Seeing John looking nervously back up at the castle, Sora asked, "Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

Midgar...
Cloud fought savagely, slicing back and forth through the Heartless.
Taking a moment to look back, he saw that Cid had dissappeared.
"Help should be here soon!" he called hopefully to Barret and Yuffie.
Cloud wasn't positive of this, but he surely hoped so.

Balamb...
Cid had appeared, not at a sight of sanctuary, but in the scene of a battle... In fact, a battle much worse than the one in Midgar.
Quickly casting Curaga on his arm, he lunged into battle.
In between strikes, he would call out Leon's name.
Finally, a man with brown hair said, "What?"
Cid leapt over to him, and began fighting alongside him.
"I'm from Midgar," he explained. "Cid Highwind... We're under attack too... Cloud sent me to get help. Thought maybe you... But, obviously not."
"Obviously," said Leon, blasting away a Darkball. "We've only just sent for help..."
"I'll help you out for a little bit, but then must return to Midgar," said Cid.
"Maybe we can spare someone to go with you," said Leon.
With that the two men began fighting silently.
Leon had not yet made it to Darkside, and was not sure what to do when he reached it. Darkside was just standing and watching at the moment. Leon had no idea what had happened to Zell and his men, and had quite forgotten them.

The Void...
The cloaked man stood before what appeared to be a series of windows.
From one of them he could see the area around Hollow Bastion. Another showed him the inside of the castle.
One showed him Midgar, where he watched Cloud and the others.
Another showed Balamb.
One also showed him Kohlingen.
He was watching Yuna, and John, Jhon, and Jon. Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Leon. Marie. Seifer.
Everyone.
Even... Ansem.
"I wondered when he would show up," said the cloaked man.
Then he laughed.
