Chapter 1: Planning The Rescue
Prologue
After all the knights had attacked, Sephiroth was on the ground badly hurt. But finally, he stood up covered in dirt. He held up his hand. On his finger was a rather large ring.
"If you don't want to become my stooge, how bout you work for me instead?" Sephiroth asked with confidence.
"What? Don't try to fool us! Cloud would never leave our "Rather Good-Looking and Courageous Group of Heroes Who Were Born to Kick Sephiroth's Lousy Behind Out of Town Until We All Were The Last Ones Standing in Order to Dominate the World Group!" Yuffie said.
*sweatdrops* from everyone
"What's in it for me?" Cloud asked, curious about the deal Sephiroth was asking him.
"Cloud!!! What do you think you're doing?!! You're never gonna get anywhere with that scumbag!" Cid yelled.
"Cloud, no!" Red exclaimed.
"Remember our past, Cloud!" Tifa said.
"Don't betray my trust, Cloud," Vincent said solemnly.
"Dumb spikey-headed kid," Barret said turning away.
Yuffie turned to Cait Sith. "I think this is the end of our "Rather Good-Looking and Courageous Group of Heroes Who Were Born to Kick Sephiroth's Lousy Behind Out of Town Until We All Were The Last Ones Standing in Order to Dominate the World Group," she said, shaking her head.

Cloud walked over to Sephiroth. "I will join you."
"That's what I've been expecting...." Sephiroth said with victory. "As for the rest of you, are you interested?" he asked.
"Never!" Barret yelled. "Why are you doing this Cloud?"
".................." was Cloud's response.
The ring glowed a firey red, and Cloud collapsed to the ground. After a few seconds, and after the group of heroes watched their leader fall into the hands of Sephiroth, Cloud stood up with a new sparkle in his mako eyes.
"Get them," Sephiroth commanded.
Cloud charged at his former friends, with a new passion. Barret and the others looked on with fear, and decided to retreat for the time being. They would find a way to bring their friend back. Barret would never let Cloud join Sephiroth. And so a new journey begins..........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present Day
Barret and the others sat in the hideout at the 7th Heaven Bar. Everyone appeared very sad and worried. Barret just looked at their faces, trying to decide what to do next. After that horrible memory of Cloud attempting to attack all of them, Barret knew that it was all over. Their glorious team was destroyed. To top it all off, Barret knew that trying to go up against Cloud would be worthless. After all, the guy was fully equipped with the strongest weapons and all the master materia.
"Oh..it's all over now. I didn't even get a chance to get Cloud's materia either. Now how will I be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll never get my filthy hands on it? Why must this happen to me? Why?" Yuffie screamed in agony as she buried her face in her hands.
"If only I convinced that dumb spikey-headed kid not to go to Gold Saucer with the worst villain of all! I knew he was up to no good. That lying piece of-"
Barret's thoughts were cut off by Red 13's voice."Barret, I know what you must be thinking... and we are all very sad right now. But no one should blame themselves for any of this," Red said calmly trying to cheer everyone up.
"Yeah, you gotta listen to to Red, man," Cid said as he grabbed Red 13's tail and used it to light his cigarette. Red glared at him in response. Cid just patted him on the head like a puppy.
"Hey man...you're right. Nuthin' will be solved if we all jes' sit here like a bunch of pansies. Let's get to Sephiroth's house and beat the crap out of him!" Barret urged everyone. Cid was the first to jump up.
"Alrighty everyone! Get to the Highwind!" Cid said as everyone's face lit up as they ran to the airship.
~~~
As everyone boarded the Highwind taking their positions on the ship, Yuffie didn't even have time to get motion sickness. She was on the dock area with everyone else.
"Don't you worry, Cloud, we'll get you back. No one can destroy my chances of taking all your beautiful materia. Especially not Sephiroth," Yuffie declared as she put her own weak materia into the slots of her weapon. "This is a job for Materia Hunter Yuffie!" she exclaimed happily.
"Would you please stop that? You're making our game sound like a shojou anime," Cait Sith told the over-excited young girl.
"Cait Sith, you must know that I would never do that. I LIKE watching anime, and I wouldn't pretend I was in one...even though I've always wanted to be the star in an anime..." Yuffie paused thinking about the possibilities of her anime career. "Hmmm....what an excellent idea. I must have a little chat with Squaresoft..." Yuffie said as she walked slowly to the PHS to phone Squaresoft Headquarters.
"Hello, Squaresoft? This is Yuffie Kisaragi. Remember, I was the star of Final Fantasy 7? I just want-" Yuffie tried to say but was cut off by Square saying something to her. Everyone on the ship stopped what they were doing to listen in on the conversation.
Squaresoft talking.
"What?! What do you mean Cloud Strife was the star? I was the one that MADE him into the star he is today!! I called to sa-" Yuffie said again but was interrupted by the other end of the phone.
Squaresoft talking.
"You listen to me! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be making profits! I WAS THE ONE who brought life into the game...which is why I wanted to know if you were interested into giving me a part in-" Yuffie was cut off again.
Operator: I'm sorry but the line has been cut off. Thank you for using Highwind calling services. Call again anytime!
"The nerve of those people! How dare they speak to me that way! They will hear from my designer!" Yuffie yelled to everyone as she stomped off to her room in the Highwind.
Cait Sith just sighed. Meanwhile, Barret had taken an empty crate and stood on top attempting to make a speech in front of everyone.
"Listen up all of ya!! Since Cloud is currently possessed at this moment, I will gladly take it into my own hands to be the new leader of our little band of heroes! Whaddya all say?" Barret asked excitedly but got no response from everyone. He slumped down in defeat.
Suddenly Yuffie rushed in. "You need leader? I'll be your leader!" she said.
Miraculously, she got a few good votes because everyone knew she was good at sneaking up on people when they least expected it. It was now official. Yuffie was the leader in saving Cloud. She stood next to Cid as the Highwind neared Costa Del A Sol and they spotted a glimpse of Sephiroth's house. Tifa looked on with hope as Vincent loaded his rifle. "Let's go save Cloud," said Tifa with brand new confidence.
