"You really do drag around a lot, don't you …?"

Cloud tightened his grip on Fenrir's handles as the whiteness faded from his vision. His talk with Aeris had been both comforting – knowing she forgave him – and disquieting – he being unable to forgive himself.
He was suddenly dragged back to attentiveness when a shot rang out and he had to dodge to the side to avoid it.
That's no ordinary bullet, he thought. They're using materia!
Dodging again, he opened the compartments on the sides of the motorcycle and pulled out a sword with each hand – trusting to his ability to guide Fenrir with only his knees – and shot forward, avoiding the shots from two people either side of another, who was stalking forward. Cloud assumed this one was Kadaj.
A slight scowl pulled at Cloud's face as Kadaj walked confidently forward. Fenrir lurched slightly as Cloud sped up, but Kadaj gestured to something or someone above him, and Cloud obeyed his instinct to slow back down. A second later he was glad he did, as the blank expression of Denzel and scared look of Marlene stared back at him.
What?!Almost without thinking, he threw one of his swords to the side and leant as far as he could to the left, pushing the motorbike's handlebars as well. This had the result of catapulting him to the ground, closely following Fenrir as he skidded along. However, even from the floor he managed to see Fenrir just miss Denzel - who didn't move or flinch as the tonne of metal almost sliced through his leg.
Something's wrong… Cloud thought. Denzel isn't usually like that…
He heard Marlene call his name desperately, but as he attempted to look at her, his knee caught slightly in a tree root and he was flipped onto his side – head hitting the floor. As pain exploded in his knee, stars exploded in his vision, before blackness claimed him – Marlene's voice still ringing in his ears.

Well, there's the prologue. I know it's short, but the actual chapters will be longer :)
Thanks for reading.
By the way, is it feasible to say that Fenrir weighs about a ton??? I have absolutely NO idea… hehe
