A/N: Well, I wrote Cloti now. They are favorite pairing. So, this story happen in DoC. I wondered what could possibly happen to them since they're not main character of the game. I was planning to make it one-shot but since it's interesting to be longer I will create this continuation. And, I warned you the characters will probably a bit OOC or sort of..haha...okay, please enjoy.."
And not forgot to tell, since I can't find beta reader yet, there will be a bit or major grammar error.
Okay, now enjoy (I said for real now..)
Disclaimer: I never ever gonna own Final Fantasy VII, only Square Enix does...
Tifa, I gotta go."
"Yeah. Be safe, and please get home quickly. I'm worrying, you know?"
"I know. Edge now isn't safe. If anything happen just calls me, okay? Denzel, Marlene?" those two rascals nodded.
It's been a year now since the tragedy that shock a new build city called Edge. At that time, our hero once again saved the planet. They're still live in Edge at Seventh Heaven bar. With two orphaned and they newborn son.
But recently, the city once again is shocking by faint voice of hundreds of people's scream every night follow by missing people who was the victim of geostigma a year ago.
Cloud Strife doesn't want to leave his family all by themselves but he has delivery to do. And more important, he needs to talk to WRO Director, Reeve Tuesti about this shocking tragedy that now is happening in Edge.
The night is like hell to her, to her little family, and to all the citizens of Edge. Again and again those faint scream was heard. She made the arrangement to make all of her children sleep in her bedroom with her and her husband. But since her husband isn't here now, she can't sleep. She's hearing the scream and knows very well, her adopted son, who was one of the victims of geostigma is in grave danger. In midnight, her eyelids become very heavy yet she still can't sleep. She decides to find some company by calling her husband. She grabs her PHS and dials him. In only one ring, the phone was answered, something which is rare to happen by her husband. He must be really worried, she thought.
"Tifa!"
"Cloud!"
"What's wrong? Is something happened?" he asked with worried tone.
"No, I just- I can't sleep. I feel worry especially to Denzel, and you too..."
"I know. I'm sorry I have to leave you in this mess. I'll be home tomorrow, okay?" his wife nodded.
"Yeah. We're waiting for you."
"Are the scream-"
"It was heard again. That's why I worried, you know?"
"Hmm... don't worry, dear. I'm okay out here. You know if they're coming I can slice them all," he joked to ease her worry.
"How if they're coming not only with just 5 or 10 instead a WHOLE army, you can't handle them all!" she almost screamed.
"Tifa… I really don't want to make you worry but, please… sleep. I'll be there by the morning okay?"
"Okay. Bye"
"Bye, Teef." She hanged up the phone and decided to sleep.
In the next morning, things go by likewise though the tense of scariness and worry are still there. Tifa waken up Denzel and Marlene, cooked the breakfast and done all of morning chores. After that, she took Zack, her son bath and given him breakfast, things gone normal.
Until midday, her worries proof to be happen.
It's 12 o'clock. She's cleaning the bar when a massive explosion heard outside. Notice that, she orders her children to hide.
"Denzel! Marlene! Hide! Quick!" two children hide in the cupboard; keep themselves as quite as possible.
Tifa's running to upstairs to take Zack when someone break her front door. A tall red hair woman in sexy custom uniform with long red fur tunic at her back and long blade shows up. Tifa put her gloves on and stand in fighting stance.
"Where are they?" the woman speaks with Russian accent.
"They are nobody here. Leave this place!"
"I'm afraid I can't. I can sense the presence of someone, precisely a child who infused by mako and, the victim of geostigma."
Suddenly, a man with helmet and uniform is coming from upstairs holding a bundle in his arms.
"Zack!" 3 months old Zack is crying.
"I see, you got a mako infused child. The son of one of project S experiment," the man gives little Zack to the woman.
"Look at those bright blue eyes. One day he will be one of us," the woman looks Zack in the eye as his cry grows louder.
"Zack, don't cry baby, mommy's here," Tifa tried to ease her son cry with no avail.
"Where's the geostigma victim-"
"I won't tell you. I seek him refugee, you won't find him," she cut of.
"Where is he? I can tell that you know where, Tifa Strife."
Tifa growled, "Over my dead body you bitch!" She assaults the woman with careful to her son in the woman's hand but the woman dodge her and tries to cut her with her blade but Tifa manages to dodge it. The woman jumps and assaults her and Tifa rolls to avoid it but she failed and the blade cut her left arm. She hissed by the pain. She punches her right in her face and throws her right to the floor, makes the woman drops her 3 months old baby and lets him slides on the wooden floor.
"Oh god, Zack!" Tifa tried to get his son when the woman punches her and kicks her stomach, makes her weak and hurting on the floor.
"You're dead, Tifa Strife," the woman runs her blade over Tifa's cheek to her throat, ready to slice it off.
Before she does that, a small blade come through and cut her body. She gets up and left Tifa's half conscious body. She smiles when she saw who's coming.
"Leave them alone," Cloud spoke with slow and husky voice.
"Cloud Strife, I'm waiting for you, you know? I was trying to get your beautiful son but she stops me, well, you see… I just taught her a lesson."
"You're crazy, Rosso! Leave my family! They don't deserve to be like you!" he growled. Rosso startled at his words.
"I know you, Rosso. You're one of the Tsviets. You grounded for all of your life and become their experiment. Made you nothing more than a monster," Cloud's words made her furious and screamed with anger. She steadied her blade and readied herself to attack Cloud until the sounds of her PHS stops her.
"Son of a-"she received the call.
"Rosso The Crimson, our mission was completed. You may go back to the base," the stoic girl voice ordered her from the phone.
"But, Shelke-"
"Weiss said not to take any chance that would fail our mission," she cut her of.
"Shit, okay. I received your order," Rosso shut her PHS.
"I guess I'll see you soon, Strife," she jumped out to the window and disappeared.
Cloud takes his son and holds him before he runs to his Tifa to check any injuries she may has.
"Cloud," she whispered.
"Tifa, it's okay. I got you," he assured her, "Where are the kids?"
"They're hiding."
"Denzel, Marlene, you may come out. It's safe now," the children came out from there hide place and approach their parents.
"Cloud! You came! You saved us!"
Cloud nodded, "Okay, I know they're gone now but it's still dangerous around here, pack your things kids, we evacuate now."
Cloud cast curaga to heal Tifa's wounds and prepare to leave Edge. He also checked Zack for any possible injuries after he heard about the impact that just happen to his son in the incident.
"Is he okay, Cloud?" his wife asked him.
:"Yes Tifa, he's okay. I think his mako enhanced body had saved him," he holds his sleeping baby in his arms.
"I never thought he is their target too."
"I guess because he is the only mako infused baby in this planet. We have to seek him refugee, for Denzel and Marlene too."
"We send them to Forgotten City, to Elmyra's. There's a place they probably don't know."
"Okay, we'll drop them before we go to Junon. You and I have to talk to Reeve about this. All AVALANCHE is coming too," she touched his face and made him quite.
"Cloud. Why you let me fight?"
He gives a faint smile, "We were promised right? A year ago,"
She smiles, "Yes. We will fight our battle together, no matter what happen."
"Good, you remembered," he chuckled. Tifa hugs him and their son, "Of course I remembered. That's our promised. And Cloud?"
"Yes, Teef?"
"You fulfilled your other promised too."
"Of course, I'm glad that I am."
Please, wait the continuation..thanks :)
