"He's just ahead. I can feel him. With luck, this will all be ended soon."
"I don't like this. It's a perfect for an ambush. And you know how much he likes attacking from behind."
"Yo Cloud, Tifa wait the hell up. We ain't all mountain goats ya'know."
The eight were making they're way up the northern crater. Cloud and Tifa in the lead, followed by Barrette, Cid, Yuffie, Red XIII, and Vincent. Cait Sith had been unable to climb the cliff, and so he had left saying he'd find another way up.
Finally they reached the top. By the time Red finally made it to the top, Cait Sith came bounding up from the other side. Cid looked up at him.
"How the #@*! Did you get up?"
"There was a path on the other side. I just followed it. I've been waiting for you to show up."
"Ya mean we climbed up this bloody mountain for nothing? I'll kill you for this you worthless cat."
"Barret, Cid quite it. He's very near. I can feel him."
Cloud once again too the lead. The others followed him into the pass. It was barely big enough to allow two to walk side by side. Barrette made sparks as his arm was forced against the wall in some of the narrower points.
"He's just up ahead…..Now it ends."
But when they turned the final corner, they didn't meet a dead end. Instead, they noticed a 'hole' in the middle of the stone wall. And Sephiorth was stepping through. Sephiorth turned, and stared at Cloud, and gave him one of his smiles. Then vanished.
Cloud wasted no time in chasing after him.
"Cloud! Wait!"
"No Tifa. I need to end this. I don't care if you stay or follow, but I'm going to end this."
As Cloud disappeared, the others stood. Tifa was the first to move.
"I've followed him this far, I'm not stopping now."
"Ah dame. We've followed that spiky haired freak this long. No need to quite now."
And as one, they moved forwards…..

IMeanwhile, in our real boring world…/i
"Now class, you noticed that when I added the Mg to water nothing happened. But if I were to add it to this HCl instead."
The professor proceeded to place the small piece of Mg into the HCl. By this point several student were sleeping. It was the same experiment several of them had just completed. To them, this was just a boring repeat of what they had all ready seen. Or was it?
As expected, the HCl began to bubble, and the Mg dissolved. But unexpectedly, a huge 'gate' opened up. The students who were not sleeping, and there were a fair number, looked forward. None of them had this occur during their experiments.
Sephiroth stepped out of the gate.
"Cool! That never happened when I did the experiment,"
"He looks like that guy out of Final Fantasy."
"I want to re-try that experiment."
The teacher finally looks up, and sees Sephiroth standing on the table. Then the teach finds himself looking down the length of Sephiroth's sword.
"Too much Magnesium. Umm excuses me sir, but this is a chemistry lecture. The drama students are in another building."
By this time, those students who aren't sleeping, are talking among themselves.
Sephiroth looks around the room, slightly puzzled by his appearance there.
"That fool affected the gate more than I thought he would. No matter." He then looks down at the Prof. "You are not even worth the effort."
Sephiroth then steps off the desk, and slowly lowers himself to the floor. Of course, this only proceeds to increase the talking in the room. And somehow, a few students still happen to be sleeping though it all. Sephiroth approaches the far wall, and begins chanting again. A second gate begins to open. But before it is large enough to allow him thought…
"Stop right there Sephiroth!"
"Ah. The fool had the courage to follow."
Cloud was suddenly standing on the desk, sword drawn. Sephiroth looks at him, then proceeds to draw his sword. Suddenly the students figure out this was not supposed to be happing. And as the two warriors launch themselves at each other, the students begin to hold there breath. The Prof. is still trying to figure out what went wrong.
"Maybe I got the wrong chemical….No, this is definitely HCl. Hmmm." It was at this point that the two swords met, and the Prof. finally noticed Cloud. And the fact that they were fighting.
"Now listen to me you two. This is NOT a drama class. Now go to your proper class, and let me get on with my lecture."
At that moment, Tifa steps out of the gate. "Cloud!"
Cloud and Sephiroth both look up. Sephiroth turns back to Cloud and in a mocking voice speaks to him.
"So you show some intelligence. Or are you a coward? No matter. If you dare, follow me."
It's at this moment that Barret steps out, and the moment he sees Sephiroth, opens fire. The students start screaming, except for a few that some how manage to stay asleep. Unfortunately for one, she happened to have chosen the wrong day to sleep in the front row. Just after Barret stepped out, the portal closed, with no warning.
The portal was still opening, yet it was still too small to admit a man. As quick as a striking cat, Sephiroth grabbed the girl in the front row, and held her in front of him. Tifa grabbed a material, and held it up.
"Bolt!"
Nothing happened.
"Fools. Magic dose not exist here. How can you use something that doesn't exist?"
Cloud looked at him, and Sephiroth looked right back. By now, many of the students were stampeding out of the room, by the nearest exit. And the Prof. was still trying to regain order in his lecture. Finally in desperation, he yelled out over the screams. "CLASS DISSMISTED" Yet still, there were some students who managed to sleep though the noise.
"Man. Bad enough that I need to GO to chemistry. Now I'm dreaming about the class. I HATE chemistry." The girl awoke, and yet she thought she was dreaming. Then she noticed the sword. "Well it's not every day that I dream about standing in chemistry class, a sword held to my neck, and half of the students screaming. This may be interesting after all."
Suddenly the barrier was large enough, and Sephiroth backed through, the girl still held in front of him. And they vanished. Cloud followed, and the rest of the crew followed Cloud. Barret brought up the rear. Unfortunately, just as Barrett finished passing through, the portal shut on him, neatly separating the seat of his pants from the rest of him. It was that small piece of cloth hitting the floor which awoke the sleepers.
"Well I had a good nap. I guess class got out early today."
"Yea. See ya Monday."
The last one out noticed the piece of material, and picked it up.
"Hey look at this. Cool. I'm gonna steal this."

NOTE: Yes I hate chemistry. The Prof. I have has to repeat everything several times. I wish something like that would happen in my class. But no I don't sleep in class. As far as I know, no one dose. But then again, I really don't pay attention to what happens in class.
And one final note. This girl who disappears is not based on me. I wish that I could do some of the stuff she'll do in the near future.
