Who am I?
As Cloud ran through the forest, branches hitting him in the stomach and whipping him in the face, sirens blaring in the distance as search lights scanned the perimeter. A search light came dangerously close to him and he dived behind a tree.
"Why the hell do they want to keep me in there?" Cloud asked to himself "I… I don't even remember doing anything…". A screaming startled Cloud, he looked around but couldn't find the source. It got louder and louder, but he couldn't see anybody then he could hear it coming within his head. Cloud clamed his hands over his ears and got up stumbling over his own feet. He leaned against a tree trying to make it stop. A flash came and he saw someone with a red bandanna falling from a high built platform, some guy in a helicopter, a big black guy standing at the edge of the rubble mourning, a brunette standing over him, a playground in the backround. The sounds of dogs barking startled him, he started to run again.
Cloud looked around as he walked through the midgar slums.
"Why does this place look so familiar?" Cloud wondered. He spied a bar and thought to himself he could really use a hard drink, the Seventh Heaven. As he walked through the door he saw people all over the place, either playing the pinball machine or singing at their table drunk. He walked over to the bar to see a brunette woman turned around attempting to fix a shelf. She obviously heard him sit down cause she said
" I'll be with you in a mom….inghhht" she strained as she pushed the shelf into place. "Ahhh, that's better, now how…." She stopped as she saw Cloud sitting at the bar.
"C-Cloud?" he was startled that she knew his name but even more as she jumped over the counter and pretty much tackled him to the ground. "Where have you been? I was so worried about you! I thought I had lost you!" Cloud just sat there bemused at this crying girl hugging him.
"Ummm, who are you?"
Cloud stepped back and looked at everything he had just done.
"What, have they done to me?" He looked around and ran into the seventh heaven then upstairs to the room where Tifa emerged to see a wardrobe cabinet marked: CLOUD. He stared at it then flung the doors open. He stood there amazed, all of his (personal) belongings were in there. He looked through all of the ice3's, fire3's, bolt3's, and restore3's. Until he came upon the one, and only rarest materia on the planet, that could kill anything in a one summon. Knights Of The Round Table. He couldn't believe it, he, Cloud S…..S….. he couldn't even remember his own last name…Cloud backed up,
"I own knights of the round table materia...how could I?" He sat down on Tifa's bed to get his thoughts together.
"CLOUD" a voice screamed . Cloud looked around
"CLOUD" the voice repeated. He got up and grabbed the materia belt, equipping it all. He walked out to the voice. It was Tifa's, she was standing there with tears in her eyes.
"W-why Cloud? Why?" Tifa collapsed and started crying uncontrolably. Cloud watched her and then kneeled down and hugged her.
"I don't know whats going on, but I'm going to find out" Cloud whispered in Tifa's ear. He stood up, grabbed his buster sword, and walked off. When he reached the train station he heard someone coming. He turned and saw Tifa running up with her materia belt in her mouth while she strapped on her leather gloves, when she got up to Cloud, she hooked the belt on and stated, "I'm coming with you!"
