Well wow... this was a random plotbunny that I hit with a ten tonne truck...seriously I think I killed it :S
Disclaimer: I'm on a site called fanfiction dot net... i think it's pretty obvious I don't own it.
"Cloud Please" The barkeep begged as the mercenary swung his huge sword, testing the weight dispersion against his latest injury, "You have to come home, we're all scared for you" she implored, desperately clinging to the blondes battle scared arm, not even earning a glance as he shrugged her off.
"You have to stop! You're killing yourself!" Tifa suddenly cried. Cloud stopped for a moment and hope filled the girls heart, quick to be stricken down again as the sad boy from her childhood grabbed the keys to his mighty bike Fenrir, and left the shabby walls of a place he could have called home.
"Please Cloud…please…" Tifa called brokenly as she watched the already injured man leave all hope behind.
A moment before the engine roared into life Cloud whispered softly, but try as she might, Tifa couldn't catch a single word. it was all washed away by the cool flow of the wind.
Brown braids, pink dresses, purple eyes and silver hair all watched their savior fight, tears blurred their visions and spasms of the heart rendered them immobile.
Blood poured from multiple wounds as Meteor2 was cast. Wolves pounced and monsters fought. Cloud kept striking out with his blade, going through the motions even when his legs gave out under him. There were still too many though. Cloud had chosen his final resting place atop Mount Nibel, in the fire torn wreckage of the Mako reactor.
Where Gaia's chosen's heart first died, and in his last moments as a Nibel wolf dived at his exposed throat, Cloud smiled, the first true smile to grace his lips since that fateful night.
"This is my last chance to return home" He sighed happily, "but I don't care anymore"
Broken sobs echoed through the lifestream that night, the whole world silent and grieving for a hero none knew they had lost.
"Don't try and save me anymore Tifa…I've already lost everything I ever lived for…I've done my service".
This is a really short fiction inspired by Savior by 30 Seconds to Mars.
There's the slightest hint of Seph/Cloud in there but it could also be taken for hero worship so it's not all in your face.
This is also what happens when my grammar gives out on me…I still like it though…just a bit rough.
R&R… Flamers I shall laugh at then I shall and flame your stories right on back! See how you like it!!
