The Sector 7 slums were quiet as usual...nothing more than beggars on the street and young children
running about in tattered rags. A woman is sitting on the ground resting at the entrance of the slums,
when a petty thief rounds the corner swiping her sack of gil. It was almost nothing, but 10 gil in the
slums was a free meal ticket. As the man starts toward the entrance of the slums, Cloud appears in the
entranceway and grabs him by the throat and lifts him off his feet.
Cloud: (taking a long, hard look at the man and then glaring with a look of a killer)…..give it back…...
Cloud then throws the man right next to the woman, now sitting confused and horrified.
Thief:(coughs) I'm really sorry lady! I swear it'll never happen again! I need to feed my family too you know…
that's the only reason I did it….
Cloud:(holds out his hand)here….
The man cowered in fear at first, thinking he was about to get punched. However, he instead looked up and saw a large amount of gil in Cloud's outstretched hand….he then quickly snatched it out of his hand and ran out of the Slums.
Cloud: here…..(holding out the remaining gil for the sickly woman to take)
She jumps up and hugs Cloud, crying in joy, taking the bag respectfully and gently
Woman: thank you o so much sir, you have given me enough money to feed my children for a long time….thank you….
She takes one more look at Cloud and runs off, smiling.
Cloud: So much for being "properly equipped"…(holding up fist and looking at it)guess ill do it the old fashioned way…
After turning into many small and winding alleyways making sure to be out of sight, Cloud appeared at a dead end.
It was, at a glance, just an old brick wall. However, with a simple press of a button on a small remote, the wall
collapsed into the ground, revealing a small metal door. Cloud speaks the voice activated password in order to enter.
Cloud: Aeris
The door slides open allowing him to slip in. Directly after the door closes and the wall slides up out of the ground,
once again concealing the door. Cloud turns on a switch, revealing a dimly lit room, barely big enough to move in.
A button on the remote is pressed and a wall to Cloud's left opens. Inside lies a glowing sphere. This is the Omni
materia,(allowing him to perform the omni-slash)and it fuses with Cloud in a flash of light.
Cloud: time to get moving….
Thus his journey to the Corel Prison commences…
