The first of MANY chapters, I can assure you, but you'll have to be patient, I got two more fics on site already, and I am working on all of them at once!
Cloud: All too easy! What do you think Teioh?
Teioh: Not bad! You did quite well! Didn't even stand a chance...
Cloud: Now, on to our destination: Mideel, the Tropic Island!
Flashback begins to about an hour ago...
The saddest story, you can ever imagine! Cloud, after losing his beloved Aeris in Final Fantasy 7, left the group once Sephiroth had been stopped! But what will happen to him? Little does he know, the whole group is following him!
Cloud: DAMN IT!!! WHY, WHY COULDN'T I SAVE HER!! I want to calm down, but I just can't, how CAN I???? I LOST HER!!! I must go to meet my destiny! Into the...(gulps)...lifestream.
??????: I can't let you do that, I mean WE can't!
Cloud looks behind him, and sees ALL 7 of the others still with him and sees one more person, THE LAST person he expected to see! ZACK!
Zack: If you go, we will all die!
Tifa: I also can't live without you!
Barret: Yo man, we all need you, and I ain't letting you go to no @$#@% place like that lifestream!
Red XIII: You have always stood by me and helped me, you are our friend!
Cid: You helped me understand! Now Sheila and I are married, and we couldn't be happier. That was cuz SHE REALLISED, when I didn't the importance of taking it slowly! I love her, and none of it would have been possible without you Cloud!
Yuffie: You helped me understand friendship! Also you helped my Town with the Materia problem.
Cait Sith: Because of you, I understand how to not be a puppet and listen to my heart!
Vincent: I finally understand that caring is not all bad!
All but Cloud: DON'T GO!!
Cloud: (quietly, but full of anger) You don't understand, do you? Even if I wanted to stay, I can't! I feel a sense of Destiny in the lifestream, I MUST GO!!
Zack: Then you must kill all of us first first!
Cloud: I won't, not ever! I must meet her!
Tifa: Aeris?
Cloud: I don't even know, maybe it isn't even Aeris, but I do know that, I will meet my soulmate there. Without her, I can't survive!
Tifa: Don't...
Red XIII:....let him go Tifa.
Tifa: I...CAN'T!!! I LOVE HIM TOO MUCH!!!!!
Red XIII: You must. Nothing is going to change him now! Sephiroth and Jenova have taken their toll on him. He isn't Cloud anymore, he is just a failed Laboratory experiment, cold hearted, the way Vincent was. He might even be the next Sephiroth!
Tifa: HUH?
Cloud:........See ya!
Cloud walks off leaving everyone behind looking baffled! He walks and walks and sees the chocobo, Teioh (named after Joe's Black one). This one was a Golden one, The best one he had! He had told the farm to forget that he ever had that chocobo in the farm, and make a stable for another chocobo. He gets on Teioh and says "AWAY TEIOH", off they go. They head to the Hidden Island!
Teioh: What is that?
Cloud: I am glad that you can talk with me. WHAT IS THAT? IT LOOKS LIKE EMERALD WEAPON, BUT IS THE SAME COLOR AS RUBY?? WHAT THE...
Strange Weapon: I am Multicolorweapon, meet your doom, I have the power of Emerald and Ruby weapons COMBINED, DIE!
Cloud: Well, prepare for a fight, like NONE OTHER!!!
Flashback Ends...
Cloud and Teioh have finally made it to Mideel, and if Cloud hadn't been lost in his thoughts, he might have seen the Highwind on the other side of the forest...
INSIDE THE HIGHWIND!!
Zack: Look, we can't let Cloud go into the Lifestream, right?
Barret: I ain't no 'xpert, but I know this, if Cloud goes in there, HE WON'T COME OUT ALIVE!!
Tifa: Don't say that, I love him!
Cid: WHAT THE $&%^$#@ BLOODY ##^*$&#^$ IS THAT?? (points out the window)
Barret: Dunno?
Vincent: I'll take a look (transforms to Chaos).
Chaos: One of the cool things about being Chaos is that you can fly!
Chaos flys up to check it out and screaches with fear, so badly that he transforms back to Vincent about 100 meters above the ground, luckily Cait Sith saw this and ordered the Giant Moogle (the one he rides) to catch Vincent!
Zack: What was it?
Vincent: First thing is first, thanks Cait Sith!
Cait Sith: No problem, glad to do it!
Vincent: Secondly, I thought he killed her!
Cid: THAT'S @#$*^& enough of that, WHO KILLED WHO!!!!!??
Vincent: Why, Sephiroth kill Aeris or course!
Zack: WHA? That was AERIS flying up there? (looks at her) Heh heh, now that she is close, she actually looks cute!
Red XIII: Aeris...(runs out)
Barret:??????? WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT??
Tifa: Don't you remember Barret? Oh no, you were unconscious, while that was the case, Red and Aeris became really close friends, they learned how to talk to each other through telepethy so they could share all their secrets!
Yuffie: So WHAT??? That doesn't solve our problem of how to get Cloud to not go into the lifestream!
Cid: Hate ta say it, but the ninja's right! We should be concentrating on how to get him to not go in!
Zack: Maybe if I lead an attack against him with Tifa and Yuffie!
Tifa: Might work! If that is Aeris, we might want to invite her to help us!
Meanwhile, Outside!
Red XIII: Is it really you, Aeris? My best friend!
Aeris: Yea, it's me!
Red XIII: Let me sniff for a second! I can tell you apart from anyone!
Aeris: NOTHING BUT SNIFF!!
Red XIII starts sniffing at Aeris, turns around three times, then jumps up and down!
Red XIII: IT IS YOU! I MISSED YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!
Aeris: So any updates I should know about?
Red XIII: Yep, Cloud is going to go into the Lifestream to search for "her"
Aeris: Who?
Red XIII: We're not entirely sure!
??????: Hiya, do you want to be a part of the party?
Aeris: Huh??? Cloud?
??????: Wha?? Oh, sorry, guess I should introduce myself! I am Zack, the orginal member of Soldier who went with Sephiroth to Nibelheim. Cloud was there, but was in a Shinra Uniform!
Aeris: Why do you look EXACTLY like Cloud except you have Green eyes, Cloud has blue!
Zack: Dunno.
Aeris: One more thing, if Cloud wasn't a member of Soldier, How come he has Mako eyes (spirit energy eyes)?
Zack: Oh he WAS a member of soldier, just wasn't in 1st class! I was, he was 2nd class. I guess he got infused with a lot more spirit energy after he had been found in Nibelheim. He was bleeding profusely, but he was alive, I was too. Hojo took us both to the Nibel reactor and sealed us inside the spirit chambers. I thought we were dead for sure, to become monsters like the ones Sephiroth and I saw, but... Cloud saved us! What happened was, he SMASHED OPEN HIS Chamber, then broke mine, we made it to Midgar!
Red XIII: One question. If Cloud was in Midgar, where the hell were you?
Zack: After I gave Cloud the Buster Sword, I searched for another weapon. I came across an abandoned werehouse and on the table, I saw a beautiful sword. If Sephiroth's Masamune was the symbol of evil, this sword must have been the sword of light! It's name? The Excalibur 2. I ran over and picked it up, jammed my Materia (Knights of Round linked with HP Absorb, Master Summon Linked with MP absorb, Mime linked with Counter (support), Mastered Final Attack and Mastered Revive). I already had (Mastered Counter attack, Mastered Counter Attack, Mastered Revive linked to Master All, Mastered Speed plus, Mastered AP Plus, Mastered Gil Plus, and Mastered Exp Plus! A good thing too, because I came face to face with Super POWER STRENGTHER!! I was fighting for the whole time, I only got out of the battle yesterday!
They see Jenova heading for Mideel and they enter Mideel to help him, only to find he needs no help!
Zack: WHAT THE HELL??
All of them sit and watch as Cloud fights. Jenova hits him with tentacle taking out 1500 hp, and Cloud immediately summons Knights of the Round! (Summons 9999 HP damage X 13)
Zack: HOW THE... HELL?? DOES HE DO THAT??
Aeris: Must be the Counter Support type. He must have it linked to a Mime!
After Jenova is destroyed, Cloud runs to the lifestream!
Tifa: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Zack: I don't think we should stop him, if he could beat Jenova that easily, it might not be wise!
Tifa: I don't care!
Aeris: He'll be fine!
Tifa: I hope so...
Cloud approached the lifestream edge and doesn't even have to enter for inside, he sees the most BEAUTIFUL thing he had EVER seen!! A girl not much older than Aeris, was standing on the shore of the lifestream. She was completely naked, and when she realised it, she shouted!
Girl: What the heck?? Moon Cosmic POWER!!!
Before he could even move, the girl was surrounded by light and when it subsided, she was wearing a beautiful outfit. It was quite tight actually. He looked at her face and almost gasped, her eyes were a sparkling blue and her hair looked like it actually shone like gold. She was absolutely beautiful!
Girl: WHERE THE HELL AM I???
Cloud: Calm down! I realise that you were the one I was sent to find in the Lifestream!
Girl: Really? Well, where am I?
Cloud: You are on the planet Cetra!
Girl: Where is Cetra?
Cloud: I'll explain that later, but first (blushes) why were you naked?
Girl: (blushing) well, all I remember was fighting the powers of darkness, and all of a sudden, found myself floating in some green liquid. Next thing I knew, I was here with you gaping at my naked body!
Cloud: What kind of Materia did you use to change into those clothes?
Girl: MATERIA????? WHAT'S MATERIA???
Barret: SHI...She doesn't even know what materia is! This is going to take a while!
Girl: My name is Serena, and in this form I am Sailor Moon, what's your name?
Cloud: I am Cloud, and these are my friends Tifa, Barret, Cid, Red XIII, Vincent, Yuffie, Cait Sith, and Zack. EH WHA!! AERIS??? YOU--RE DEAD!!
Aeris: I came back, I may not have Jenova's cells, But I am of the Cetra, I can come back as often as is necessary!
Serena: You don't mind if we get out of here, do you, that green liquid gives me the creeps!
Cloud: Hang on, WHO'S THAT????
Well this is certainly a strange turn. From fighting Jenova to Meeting a new Weapon and Aeris revived. And who is this new Girl Serena? And what is her power. I REALLY WANNA WANNA KNOW, hold on, I am telling the story, Guess I'd better get thinking!
