Bet you didn't think I'd post THIS today, huh? xD
After all my babbling and ranting about having no internet after last night... my dad took pity on me and salvaged the router, so I've been able to run back to my laptop in between packing and attempting to help the moving guys and work on this.
I loved how it turned out...
Then the problems began.
My computer would not, and I mean would NOT render this. It would get to 1% and freeze or shut down, and I still don't know why. Eventually, I opened the project file in an empty Vegas (dragged it onto the timeline instead of fully opening it) and tried to render the compressed version- it got all the way to 5%.
T-T I then eventually rendered that compressed file into two second sections. Some of which didn't work and I had to re-find the clips and texture and urghhhh... It's finally rendered and although there are still glitches it's nowhere near as bad as before.
Blue, thank you for all the countless inspiration Nami's story gave me. -phew-
And I brought Zexion back in! And Larxene! xDD Though not in the same scene.
Story-- (should hopefully be a little clear, but this is just to be certain and because it gave me something to do during the many, many rendering processes.)
Before he knew it, before he could even start to comprehend what had just happened Namine was gone. Riku didnt want to believe it- it took days of wandering around all the places hed usually found her for it to finally sink in. Hed been able to tell that she was thinking about something, something she struggled to put into words Hed even told her about Hope. It hadnt stopped her. He spent countless hours mulling over that last conversation, wishing hed noticed the signs Riku didnt WANT it to be real, to sink in.
When it did, he wasnt angry with her- more with himself, for not seeing it coming and stopping her- even if it meant physically holding her there against her will. He made no attempt to talk to or explain what had happened to any of the other psychics- if they came and asked, hed give his answers, but in such a short and harsh way not many got much from their rather one-sided conversations. Riku isolated himself for a while, shutting himself away with Namines drawings and trying to figure out the future shed seen.
He snapped himself out of it in the end- sitting around moping wasnt going to get her back, so he left without telling anybody what he was going to do. They probably wouldnt notice, anyway- hed barely left his room since Namine had gone. Larxene found him soon afterwards, and teased him about Namine, distracting him enough to attack him without resistance. She mocked him one last time, then left, claiming taking him into the hunters was Zexions job and she didnt want to steal all the fun.
Riku wasnt just going to sit around and wait to be caught- so he tried to disguise himself as a hunter, like he had before hed found Namine and Zack in the first place. Most of the hunters around were fooled- except Zexion, whod know his brother anywhere. At first, he pretended to be grateful, offering Riku the chance to join the hunters again. The younger brother refused, but tried to make a deal- if they fought and he lost, hed willingly join the hunters again, but if he won, they had to make Namine leave Zexion was up for the deal. He attacked Riku, breaking the illusion, and they fought. After Riku slipped up and was knocked unconscious, Zexion picked him up and took him back to the hunters- but not to join them like hed promised he would.
Riku woke up, alone and helpless, in a room he recognised too well from his time with the hunters- one of the experimentation labs. Zexion had tricked him, all over again.
--------------------------
Oh, and I wasn't going to use this song at first... but I kept listening to it and I fell even more in love with it...
Poor, poor Riku. T-T I do love torturing him, and becoming an experimnt was probably the thing he'd have dreaded most...
And, being the jerkass he was, and not telling anybody where he was headed... He's pretty screwed.
The song is "Last to Know" by Three Days Grace.
And the editing in this is totally lazy but I can't do anything better in all of, well, today...
See you guys in about two weeks.

Did you realize you have some clips of Hope in this from FFXIII? They are right in the beginning. Otherwise it looks pretty awesome!

@twilightangel013 Uh, yes.
Psychic is an AU project that spans across Final Fantasy as well as Kingdom Hearts. Hope is totally meant to be there- he's one of my characters in the project, just like Zexion and Riku.
