Important note!: This fic is a crossover between FF7 and Diablo2. If you have never
played Diablo2 you would still be able to understand my fanfic anyways. Enjoy!
Vengeance Cuts Both ways
When the smoke from the battlefield cleared, it was over. Another opponent defeated,
one less bounty hunter to worry about. This had been going on for weeks, bounty hunters
challenging me and perishing at the hands of my blade. But then again, if I were offered 2
million gold to kill someone, I would try just as they had.
I continue through the arid desert on my quest to destroy the enemy, an enemy that is
known by most as Shinra Inc. They are the ones who have caused so much suffering to so
many, and also the ones who placed the bounty on my head. With every shade of scarlet
that covers my blade, Shinra becomes more angered and desperate. But that is nothing
compared to what they will feel their shade of scarlet is embedded into my sword.
"Cloud Strife!" I hear behind me. As I turn, I begin to draw my sword for I am pretty
sure that it is another bounty hunter with a death wish. "It IS you! Please I mean no harm,
I am here to help you", the man said.
When I finally catch a good glimpse of the man, I am surprised at what I see. It is an old
man wearing a long cloak and using a cane to support himself.
"Help me?" I say, "What help could I possibly need from you old man?"
"I know what you seek young warrior, but the enemy is much more powerful than you
think".
"What do you mean?" I say.
"I will explain it all to you. First let me introduce myself, I am Deckard Cain, the last of
the Horadrian's. Many years ago, Diablo, lord of the underworld, and his three siblings
were banished from hell. They wreaked havoc on the earth and tortured countless souls.
This went on for many months until one day when a holy knight challenged Diablo. The
battle was grueling for both of them, and in the end the knight had to sacrifice himself to
destroy Diablo and his siblings. This holy knight that I speak of, he is your father Cloud."
"M...My father?" I stammered.
"Yes your father" he replied, "Diablo was sent back to hell and peace was preserved
once again, that is...until now. Diablo is back from hell and seeks revenge, and I believe
he will try to get his revenge through you."
"Diablo? I have heard many stories about him but I didn't think they were true. This
sounds like a true challenge" I say.
"It gets worse" said Deckard, "Diablo has joined forces with Shinra in order to get and
use powerful material. I know your strength Cloud, but even with your current strength
you will not beat them unless you have material and an imbued weapon. If you choose to
let me guide you, we will quest for an item called the Horadric Cube, what do you say?
