A/N: Well, here I am, starting another story during my period of no internet via my parents orders. (Twitchtwitch) The story line was suggested for me to write by a friend's friend. Yeah, the two of us only get along on the subject of video games. It makes for quite a headache for my friend. How she survives, I'll never know. This is a crossover of FFVII and FFVIII. Doom doom doom doom DOOM!
Disclaimer: I don't own either of the video games. I own copies of each but that's not the point.
"Ah, damn! Vincent, get off!" Cloud shouted, trying to move the weight of his friend off of his back. Vincent obliged and moved.
"Sorry. Do you have any idea of where we are? Or how we got here?" Vincent asked after Cloud got up and looked around.
"No. But I blame Sephiroth." Cloud watched as kids fought off armed men.
"Sephiroth is not to blame for everything." Vincent said. He started to walk toward the three boys standing in what seemed to be the town square.
"Vincent! What the hell are you doing? We don't even know where we are and you're just going to walk up to them?" Cloud asked incredulously.
"That was the general idea, yeah." Vincent spared Cloud a quick glance when he heard one of the boys talk.
"Standby. How boring." The boy in the white trench coat seemed to be the leader, and a snobby ass one at that. As soon as Vincent stepped into the square, all three boys jumped up, pulling out their weapons. Cloud stifled a laugh as they entered battle with the cloaked man.
It didn't last long, the fight. Vincent had all three boys laying on the ground within a minute. One, he had to resort to knocking out. The other two lay there, staring up at Vincent before one actually had the audacity to laugh. The white trench coat boy sat there and laughed. The other sat quiet before standing again.
"Look, I'm not here to fight." Vincent sighed. "My friend and I-" Vincent was barely able to dodge an attack from Shiva. Though, it wasn't a Shiva that either of the two had ever seen before. Cloud wanted to know what materia the kid was using.
"Now, look here." Cloud stepped forward and glared. "He was trying to explain himself and you go and attack him again. Now, you should feel lucky that he doesn't kill you. Calm down, we come in peace."
The two conscious boys stared at Cloud as though they'd never seen someone with blond, pointy hair before. He sighed as the one that had used Shiva reached for his weapon again and swung Ragnarok down in between his hand and weapon.
"What part of 'We come in peace' do you not understand?" he asked, leaning down to scoop up the unfamiliar weapon. "And what the hell is this thing?"
"You don't know what a Gunblade is?" the trench coat kid asked.
"A Gunblade? Interesting. Vincent, take a look at this thing." Cloud tossed the weapon to Vincent, who caught it easily.
"It is quite interesting. But, we're not here to look at weapons, Cloud." Vincent remarked, handing the weapon back to its owner.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to say your names in front of us and give us our weapons?" the boy Vincent handed the weapon to asked.
"Well, seeing as we obviously could beat you in a battle, I don't see any problem with it." Cloud grinned.
"What do you want?" the same boy asked.
"Where are we?" Vincent asked.
"In Dollet. A town run over by Galbadia." The trench coat boy informed them. Cloud looked at Vincent.
"We aren't in the North Crater anymore."
A/N: Yeah, Cloud's last line sucks… It was random… They obviously knocked Zell out. R&R!
