Four Gates...
A story of four worlds
Prologue
First Gate...
On the Highwind, Cid tries to get the group out of the crater which inhabited the late Sephiroth. Holy was trying to destroy Meteor, but no avail. But alas!, someone, or something, is helping the planet survive...Lifestream!
Meteor was quickly disinegrating, but that wasn't the only thing targeted by Lifestream...
"It's headin' this way..." yells Barret in panick as Lifestream brought its attention towards the Highwind, drifting it towards an open Gate.
"What's happening to us...?" asks Yuffie in a concerned voice.
'Is Aeris doing this?' thought Cloud, not saying a word to the others as Lifestream shifted the Highwind into the open Gate.
"...what...what happened...to us..." said Vincent, caughing up sand.
"I don't know." answered Nanaki.
A vision had popped into Cloud's head, Sephiroth. 'What the?!,' yelled Cloud in his mind, 'how...how is he...?'
"Cloud?" said a calm voice, his friend, Tifa, a person whom he had known since his early childhood, "Cloud, what's wrong?"
"He's still alive..." was all that came out of Cloud's mouth.
"Who...," asked Cait Sith.
"You don't mean Sephiroth,..." asked Vincent, "...do you?"
Second Gate...
A strong battle takes place for the SeeDs and Ultimicea. She was weakening, however. "If I go down..." she yells, opening a Gate, "...I'm taking you with me."
"What's...happening..." yells Zell in confusion.
"She's opening...a Gate..." answers Rinoa.
"She won't stop until she's killed us all." says Quistes.
"We must...get to...the Ragnarok..." explains Squall to the others.
"You won't make it you petty weaklings." yells Ultimicea, getting driven into the Gate. The SeeDs make a run for the Ragnarok but the Gate is getting larger and larger towards them.
"We're not gonna make it..." yells Quistes.
"Oh yes we are." Squall reassures.
They continue to run and finally see the Ragnarok. They board the ship and Selphie gets into cockpit position. "Let's go!" she says happily. She hits the controls and the Ragnarok hovers above the ground and flies off, however, the Gate is still forcing the ship into it. Ragnarok has no more power and is driven into the Gate...
"What do you mean?!," yells Barret to Cloud, "HOW CAN SEPHIROTH STILL BE ALIVE..."
"Look," says Cloud, "I saw him in a vision. And plus, we couldn't have defeated him, he's far more powerful than us..."
"I don't believe what you're sayin', Strife..."
Before he could say anything more, another Gate had opened up, carrying the Ragnarok into the desert world. The large ship had made everyone get out of the way.
"What is that thing?!" asks Cid.
The Ragnarok makes a complete stop and everyone of the passengers fall out.
"See," says Selphie in a daze, "I told you I'd get us outta there..." She collapses to the sand.
"Uh...," says Yuffie, confused, "...have we missed something?"
"No no..." says Irvine, in a daze as well, "not at all...", plopping to the sand.
