FF 7: Finding a way back

Prologue: Landed in an alternate and similar world

One minute Laina was trying her best to stand firm and upright on the outer deck of the airship, the next minute she felt herself fall backward off the airship and down toward the North Crater below her. She screamed (and also heard Kunsel screaming her name) and felt strong and sharp gust of cold wind blowing past her as she fall until she's completely engulfed by the beam of bright white light which shone out of the crater and up toward the sky.

The beam of bright light surrounded her falling form for a few minutes until it slowly fade away to reveal puffy white clouds, clear blue sky around her and a bright and warm yellow sun shining in the distance. She kept on falling (and screaming) for another few more minutes until she fell through a large hole on the roof of an old church and straight into a small, shallow and clear water pond with a loud splash. The impact of her fall into the pond broke her left arm and some of her ribs (which make her winced in pain) before she quickly pull herself out of the water and climbed out of it. After she climbed out of the small pond (while water dripped from her soaked chestnut hair, body and clothes down to the wooden floor), she take a short glance at the place around her before unconsciousness came over her and she passed out on the floor.

Meanwhile, somewhere outside the church…

Yakumo (wife of Cloud Strife and mother to Cera Strife) was on her way toward her stepsister church with Orbit (a machine which Yakumo found and set free from Don Corneo's mansion) walking next to her when they saw something or someone fell from the sky and crash landed straight into the church. Both Yakumo and Orbit exchange worried glances with each other before they swiftly make their way into the church and soon saw a woman with long waist-length chestnut-coloured hair tied up with an azure-coloured ribbon into a long ponytail behind her head, wearing a black T-shirt with a pair of black jeans on her body, knee-length brown cotton boots on her legs, a long velvet blue-coloured coat over her black T-shirt and jeans and with a long crimson-coloured saber sword strapped behind her while she lie soaking wet and passed out on the wooden floor.

"Oh my!" said Yakumo as she glance down at the passed out unknown woman with a worry look on her face before she turned to glance at Orbit. "We've to take her with us back to Seventh Heaven to help her, Orbit!"

Orbit glance down at the unknown woman then at Yakumo and slowly nodded his metallic head at her before he approach the unknown woman, gently scooped her up in its long arms before both he and Yakumo turned around and left the church, heading swiftly back to Seventh Heaven with the unknown woman with them.
