Clouds' Father
Two weeks ago, Reeve was going through some of the more classified files that had been kept in one of the safes in the Presidential office. He came across a group of files that read "Mt. Nibel, Nibelheim, and Revaluation". The files weren't all that big. Just a few locations to some of the older warehouses, and a few safe numbers. What got his attention were the dates. The earliest was before the reactor first came into operation and the latest was three weeks after the fire. Reeve PHS Cid to get Cloud and Tifa, then he contacted them.
One week and six days ago, you could find a very edgy Cloud and Tifa in Reeves office. On the desk in front of them were three files that would deeply affect them. The first file that they went through was Mt. Nibel. For the most part it was pretty typical but, one name caught their eye. Seifer Strife, there was a small pitcher and bio.
The pitcher showed a man of who slightly resembled Cloud in some ways but, more often he did not. He had: calmer dirty blond hair, green eyes, and seemed to have a slight scowl to him. He was physically stronger and was a good seven inches taller. If it weren't for the attached Bio you would of never of thought at first that these two were related, without having to take a second look. But if you ever saw Cloud fight then you would know by that scowl that these two were related. The only other distinguishing trait was his weapon. It looked like a cross between a gun and a sword.
Employee Number: 459863 Name: Seifer Strife Occupation: Monster Slayer Height: 6'2" Age: 20 DoB: December 22 Weapon: Gunblade Fighting level: Unknown Martial Status: Married to Emra Strife
When they looked up his number in the company roster all they could find was that he had been employed for another four years before he disappeared. By this time it was late at night and they decided to go through the rest of the files the next day.
At the hotel bar you could find Cloud and Tifa going over their day. Cloud had ordered a drink a half an hour a go but had barely touched it. Tifa noticing this opted to break Cloud from his thoughts and see if she could help him.
" Cloud if the drink is that bad maybe I should go back there and make you one." Tifa
" Wha? Oh, the drink." Cloud looks down and noticed that he hadn't really touched it yet. He takes a gulp and turns back to Tifa a little embarrassed. " Sorry I just got a lot on my mind."
" Like? " Tifa
" Well my dad for starters. I don't really remember him at all. I can sort of remember mom mentioning him once or twice but, that was it. Seeing his pitcher it just well, it just took a lot out of me. He doesn't look much like me and that blade in the pitcher was the strangest weapon I have ever seen in my life. The Other thing was how little we were able to find on him. It's just like he was here one day and then poof he was gone."
" Look there are two more files that we can go through tomorrow maybe there will be some more information in there. " Tifa
" Phhhhh, ( that sigh you make when your half whistling and half frustrated ) yeah you're right, oh and one more thing maybe you should go back there. This drink isn't even worth the glass that it's in.
They both brake into a laugh and go their room for the night.
One week five days ago, the second file was opened, Revaluation. This file was all about one person Seifer Strife and what other employees had seen him do. There was one troubling thing about this file; Hojo had been the one to request that this file be made. In it was a record of some of the more interesting things that fellow employees had seen him do.
".has been seen calling out the magic of monsters and using it on them. He has also been observed using a rather interesting blade he seems to call a Gunblade, very interesting."
The rest of the file was a little disturbing in how Hojo wanted to see what made him tick. The final lines sent a shiver down Clouds spine.
" I think I will just keep him under observation so that I may see if his traits are akin to him alone or, if they will be pasted on to his child. Oh the possibilities."
" That sick FUCK!!!!!!!!! See if his traits will be pasted on to his child. Right now I wish he as alive just so I could kill him again just for writing that. That bastard was planning on screwing with me even before I was born. ARHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
" Cloud calm down look it's late and there is still one more file to go through. Maybe there will be something better in this one. Look, see there is some stuff in storage with this one. " Reeve
Cloud looks at the attachment and sees an address to some warehouses in one of the lower sections of the city. He sighs and calms down a little but, he is still very upset. Tifa seeing this comes up and takes his arm and gently rests her head on his shoulder and just holds him. A while later he breaks the embrace and leaves the office with Tifa.
Reeve walks out and looks at the folder in his hands marked Nibelheim and then back out to the city.
" Please let this one have something good. I don't think even Cloud could take another bad one."
He stares out for a while before locking the file in his desk and returning home.
All the way to the hotel not one word was spoken by Cloud, Tifa was scared for him. The last time she had seen him like this was the night Aeris had been killed. No, this was much worse. At least when she died he had shown some emotion. Now the only expressions on his face was this blank stare. It didn't look mad or sad just blank. Like he couldn't even posses what was going on. The only reason that he even got out of the car and into the room was Tifa leading him. Only when the door to their room was closed did he show something. He fell to the floor and cried. All Tifa could do at this point was hold him. When he finally fell asleep she managed to take off some of his gear and prop him up to the bed.
Hi to all what do you think give me a buzz. I love reading responses and answering them to the best of my knowledge.
What I have to say: I don't own FF7 or FF8, they are the property of Sony and Squaresoft. I am making no more off of this story is just for the fun of it and nothing more.
