Time: Twenty for hours after the destruction of Midgar.

Meator had made Midgar into nothing but a heap of thrashed metal and once, semi-happy lives. Thanks to the lifesteam and "Holy" it was only Midgar that was taken. and not the entire planet. People from Kalm and other reigons came to sort thru the ruckage... for the unlike hope that there was a survior. Cloud and the other were, of course, helping as well. They same sorted thru almost everything, finding nothing but death all over.. until they reached the fallen Shin-Ra tower.

There were tattered SOLDIER uniforms everywhere.. shards of glass.. a few spare gil here and there. There could be heard a tiny cry from beneath the rubble. Cloud, Barret, and Vincent were the first to hear it.. and instictivly( well.. maybe not for Vinny) they started to dig thru the general area. Soon, the other joined in. Cloud was the one that found the source of the crying.

A baby girl, wrapped up in a dull gray blanket was laying there.. her own Mako tinted eyes staring straight up at Cloud. She didn't have a scratch, or even a dirt mark on her. Cloud picked up the baby slowly.. blinking in confusion.. thinking to himself while he stared down at her. "How could a little baby be the only survivor of all of this.."

The other surrounded the dumbstruck Cloud.. The baby girl grinned up at him teasingly.. as if she could read his very thoughts.

"Eck... a baby.. great.." Yuffie said.. rolling her etes stightly.

"She's so pretty.. and she seems to be okay.. let me hold her Clould!" Tifa pleaded softly.. Cloud handed the baby to her... Tifa took the child into her arms.

"Hm... another one of Hojo's creations, perhaps?" Vincent muttered

"Lets take her back to Kalm.. and decided what to do with her later" RedXII suggested... the other agreed and off they went to Kalm.
Author note: Short yet sweet. Hehe... I hope it was okay... I really suck when it comes to doing actions of characters that aren't my own.. so I'm sorry if the reactions are weird. There's more to come!
