I finished this a week ago. That was shortly before I got in the hugest trouble I've ever BEEN in, and basically ended up making my home life a living hell.
But I'm (hopefully) now back.
And now's not the time for moaning or angsting over what's happened; it's the time for babbling about this.
I can kind of recall most of the crap I had to say on this one.

Well, it was originally just a Psy!Riku and Hope... thing. It wasn't going anywhere, but I watched Blue's baggage thingy and kind of very quickly got it stuck in my head that Terra and Aqua were Riku and Zexy's parents.
I kind of had to ask around a bit for this one. ^^;
Terra is Terra here (eeeee, if anyone notices a connection other than TK or Blue you get cookies. :3) and is Riku's dad- because Riku was an accident, and Terra never really meant for anything to happen between him and Riku's mom. I couldn't get around using Aqua, because Aqua as a character was already bagsied, and TK had used "Azure" in Kairi's past.
So I changed her hair and eye colour (also explaining away where Zexy and Riku's silvery hair came from) and decided she was Devia. She and Terra were drunk and made a promise... and Riku, both thinking the other was someone else at the time. Kind of awkward when Riku popped into existance and they had to act like a happy couple for him when Terra came to see his younger son.

Zexy's dad remains an enigma at this point. xD And, oop, Yuna isn't Yuna. She's just a random hunter chick who kills poor Nero. (who's being Hope's brother because I didn't want another clashing character, and they both have silvery-whitish hair xD)
I put a little of Nami in there during the past section... but bear in mind that Riku would only catch a glimpse, so he clearly wouldn't recognise her when he found her later on.
Kairi's in this one quite a bit, but I was trying to align with TK's story so I don't think I did anything icky or stupid without permission. xDD
I HAVE got a more explain-y version of the past written up, but if I cop and paste it YT will delete all the punctuation... and I use a LOT of punctuation. xD
So go here;

Please excuse the bad blood editing (I was desperately running out of time) and the lazy ending... and the bad timing towards the end, when Hope reappears.
That icky timing is because my computer is a douchebag, and I tried to get clever and render this in foty second chunks as I worked on it- so I'd do 40 seconds, then render that part, delete all the clips and audio and replace it with the rendered chunk. Wash, rinse, repeat...
But I got to the end, and tried to leave the very last part as a minute. It crashed, and after copy and pasting that bit of the project throough seven different newly opened projects, I managed to render it... with no audio. And it wouldn't fit quite right when I plonked it back in and pieced all the parts together again.
I cut the song quite a bit, and it was hard to match it all up just right. D:

Anyway, enjoy.
And I might actually finish a Psychic video that actually, you know, CONTRIBUTES TO THE PLOT soon. T~T This was kind of a breather from attempting the thousands of moving-on videos.
I think I might have found a song that makes no sense given Riku's situation but allows me to be lazy and do a character montage toward the end. :3
So expect something plotty and in-the-present soon.
I want to make a bigger deal about Hope and Zexion, though, or else what I might have happen to poor Riku (I love torturing him so~! :3) would be a bit uncalled for.
