DON'T OWN FF7
….
It was a rainy night and there was a lot of lightning crashing together in the sky. In the middle of the park you could see two shadows standing in the middle of the rain staring each other down. It was very dark and it was hard to see their faces.
Then a powerful lightning strike above them. illuminating the entire park with its light. They stood there without moving not even caring if one of those strike down and hit one of them.
One of them was a guy. He had blonde spike hair and blue eyes. He had a big silver sword that looked like it could be separate in different parts that was on his arms. It was shinning every time the lighting's light reflected on the guy's sword.
Then the other was also a guy . His hair was black and really spike and had purple eyes. He's face look like a prince from a far away land. His sword was also big and long. It looked like it was really heave. But the guy show no sign of shush thing.
Still the both of them stand there without making any movements only staring back at each other. Silence was the only thing that could be heard. Finally one of them decided to break up the heavy silence that was in the atmosphere.
"So, I heard some rumors that were spreading around the village saying that a traitor has come back into the village. I thought that it was just some villagers gossip whatever they wanted. But now that I see you with my own eyes I know now that the rumors where truth. So tell me traitor? What is it that is so important that you're looking for that even knowing how dangerous it is for you to come back to this place is it for?" they guy with the spike black hair said with a smirk on his face.
None the less did the other guy change his expression. He show no fear to the guy that he was about to face. He didn't take his words at heart. On the contrary, his emotionless face turn into a cocky emotion. Smirking back at him trying to temp him and make him lose control with his own anger. "Reason? You mean that I need a logical reason just to visit the place where I was born at? Wow didn't know things had change so much during all this years that I've been away." he said while putting a fighting position.
"Well since the day that you decided to betray our race. We had decided that if you ever shall return to this village again. We shall do whatever it takes to exterminate you a long with all the secrets that you might know of our kingdom." The guy paused for a moment while making a fighting position as well he began to speak again. "Your foolishness has always been your weakness Cloud and that shall be the reason for your owned dead on this dark rainy night. You should be thankful that I was the one who find you. At least that way I would try to make your dead less painful as possible. But I cannot guarantee that it won't hurt." He said while receiving a small chuckle from Cloud.
"To actually believe that does words came from you. It makes it almost impossible to believe that is you Zack. (puts a smirk on his face) How much you have change during all these years. Did my depart from this village had effect you that much? (starts laughing) so typical." Cloud said.
Zack felt so angry at Cloud. How dare he talk like he even knew him better than anyone else? The fact that he was acting all cocky in front him made him really mad. Not willing to waste another second he headed towards Cloud and launch an attack at him. Making the first move in their battle. But his attack was block when Cloud swing his sword at him. Causing their sword to crash against each other.
"How dare you say that to me. To actually think that your decision of betraying our race would actually affect me? On the contrary I've been wanting to beat that pretty face of yours for a long time before that." Zack said while the both of them retreat back. Then the both went for another strike clashing their swords together once again. Then when their swords finally met Cloud ducked down and sent a high kicked at Zack. But Zack was fast enough to dodge it with one of his arm. Sending Cloud back spinning into the air.
When he compose himself and stood there to watched what was Zack going to do next. The rain was still pouring around them. Making noises each time they hit the ground. There was still lightning along with the thunders. But not enough to disturb the both of them.
"Well if is that really how you feel. Then lest cut the chitchatting and lest get this thing started." Cloud said while letting out a white force around him. "Was about time. Prepare for your final battle Cloud because I'm not holding back anything in this battle." Zack said also letting some strange for out but instead of white it was red. "couldn't agree anymore." Cloud said back and with that they go straight forward each other. Clashing their swords once again since the battle had started. Their energy force clash against each other that sent a powerful light of white and red into the darkness.
When the light began to fade away. Cloud and Zack could no longer be seen anywhere near the park. The battle has move itself into another location. But not so far away were the battle had happened a few moments ago stand a guy with red hair and deep blue eyes. It appear that he was there the entire time. Releasing a sigh the red hair guy began to walked away. To where ever the two warriors had gotten too.
Back on the village there was a big old castle in the middle of it. It was made of rocks and almost look brand knew. Finally the rain had stop a few moments ago put there was still lighting in the sky. Inside the castle at the main room there stood a man with blonde hair with blue eyes. He was standing beside the window looking at the lighting that flash in the sky. Then someone knock the door three times until the blonde man said. "Come in." Then the door open. Walking into the room was one of the man's guards he had long black hair that was tied up as a pony tail and brown eyes with a point on his front head. The men kneel in one knee and stare down at the red carpet before he began to speak.
" Your highness, I excuse myself for the interruption. But we have received news that General Strife has been seen around the village a few days ago and that he's now currently fighting General Fair not so far from the village." The guy with black hair look up at his King waiting for him to give the commands on what to do next.
The King look back at the guy. Stopping watching the view that can be seen out the window. "It's that so?..." The King said while pausing a little before he began to speak again. " Is there any information on telling why he may be back here?" He said while walking toward his seat thrown and sit on it.
"No there isn't any information that we may know on why he may be back your highness, but we have some reports from the night guards saying that they had spotted someone sneaking around the castle halls and also after that we receive another report saying that some of the valuable items that were brought here last week are missing. We believe that General Strife may had took them my lord." The guy with black hair said while the king shake his hand saying that he could stand up now. "What were the name of the items that he has taken?"The King ask the guy.
"We believe that he took some holy mystic water and the gold magic egg sir." The guy said while making direct eye contact with the King. "Is that all? (the guy with black hair knobs.) Ok then, I want you to send the order that all the village shall remain in lockdown until General Strife is capture. Also, look for General Rhapsodos and tell him that he is giving the request to capture the intruder weather is dead or a life. The secrets of our village is at stake to let someone like him walked around that easily. (he pause for a second before he began to speak again.) you may leave and continue your duty." The king said while receiving a 'yes your highness' from the black hair guy and left. Leaving the blonde King alone in the room. He starts to stare at the gray dark clouds while thinking on his mind. 'What are you planning Strife. Is not like you to make this kind of moves and put your life on the line. But whatever it means must be pretty serious. Well it doesn't matter anyway. You shall be suffering the consequences for coming back here.)" At that end of the thought a powerful lighting strike across the sky. Illuminating the entire room where the King was and soon the light of the lightning faded into the clouds. Leaving the King into the dark empty room.
Near the village lay Zack on the wet muddy grass looking up at the gray clouds that were still in the sky. He had some several injuries all over his body and a serious cut on one of his arms. 'Damn it, I can't believe that I just lost to him. What did he do to get that strong in such a short time? He definitely wasn't this powerful before.' Zack thought while still staring at the sky. 'Maybe was because we were fighting under the rain. Who knows, I never had a chance to learn what his specialty was.' Zack was break out of his thoughts when he sense someone coming closer to him. Just by sensing his energy Zack wasn't happy. He didn't want that guy to see him like this.
He slowly try to sit up put fail at his attempt. His body ached and hurt everywhere. Finally when the person got closer. He stood beside him. sitting in the muddy grass before he began to speak. "Well,well,well what do we have here. Our second General Fair had gotten himself into a pretty tough fight here. Obviously he under estimated his opponent and gotten himself all beat up looking like a fool in the ground." The guy with red hair and blue eyes say. Earning a 'shut up Genesis.' from Zack. "So tell me Zack who was the one that was fighting with you that beat you up?" Genesis said pretending that he hadn't been there at all.
"Shut up Genesis this has nothing to do with you and don't pretend like you just got here stupid red head. Didn't you think I didn't sense you back there. Idiot and why are you still here anyway." Zack said with an annoying tone on his voice. Obviously getting very annoyed at the way that Genesis was making fun of him because at the way that he was looking right now.
Genesis laugh a little before he began to speak. "I didn't expect that you didn't. put it is true that you underestimated your enemy Zack. A mistake that is very hard to replace." Genesis said while he stood up and stretch his arm to Zack. "But never mind that he's far away from the village right about now. Let's say if we go back and let your wounds heal." Genesis said while smiling at Zack. But you could see the hint of sadness that was on his blue eyes. "Whatever." Said Zack while taking Genesis's hand. With Zack hanging on Genesis's shoulders they start to walk their way back to the village not saying another word to each other.
Meanwhile far away from the village Cloud was riding on back of a mysterious blue creature. It cannot be seen well because of the clouds but it had two wings and a long tail. Relaxing on the creatures back he took out the magic gold egg from the bag that he was holding. Looking at the golden egg he starts to laugh a little before he began to speak. "Well this was easier than I thought it should be. To think that a creature like you let himself be capture by some pair of low class vampires.' Cloud stares at the egg but he didn't receive an answer. He was starting to get mad. "Seriously of all the places that you could had go it had to be that place! Are you trying to kill me or what?" He asked the egg that was on his hand. Then there was a long silence in the air. There was no response from the egg. Cloud was starting to get irritated that the golden egg wasn't responding that he shook the egg up and down has hard as he could while saying. "WAKE UP! YOU STUPID GOLDENASS LIZARD!" he said while shaking the egg even harder. Then the golden egg started to glow and slowly making a small form of a creature. It had two small wings and a little tail. It looks like a small dragon. The small dragon was dizzy at how many times Cloud shook him up and down.
When the creature got his poster back the first thing it did was give a dead glare at Cloud and said. "Oh yeah, like you're the mister perfect! Who was the one that left his pet behind in the stupid inn because he was being chase because he had destroy a building in the middle of the day where people could see. Leaving me behind and deal with the consequences from your dirty actions!" the little dragon said while letting out his anger at Cloud.
Cloud looked at the little dragon confuse. He was trying to remember when did this had happened and suddenly it hit him. Cloud tap his hands together before he began to speak. "Oh yeah I actually forgot about that. Guess I was the one that was wrong there. My bad." he said while scratching her head. "Sorry about that Fenrir."
Fenrir looked back at Cloud. "You better be! And seriously next time you decided to bring down an entire building make sure that you don't leave anything behind." Fenrir said while managing to control his anger."Sure I'll make sure to do that next time." Cloud said while petting Fenrir's head.
There was long silence before Fenrir spoke again. "Thank you for getting me back Cloud." Fenrir said with a sad tone. Cloud look down at Fenrir with a questioned look. "Thank me for what?" he ask. "Because I know how hard it's was for you to return to the place that you promise yourself to never come back to. If you were a different person you probably would have left me behind so thank you." Fenrir said while putting his head more closer to Cloud's hand.
Cloud gave a weak fake smile before he spoke. "Hey don't worry about it. I knew that sooner or later I would have to face him. All of them later on maybe. But that doesn't matter now anyway. Let's just go home and forget about this ok." Cloud said while Fenrir nodded. "Good. Now let's say when we get home I make you some blueberry muffins that you soo loved in other to make it up to ya." He said with an excitement tone. "YAY BLUEBERRY!" Fenrir said while flying up and curl himself around Cloud's neck. Smiling at the reaction that Fenrir did. Cloud started to pet Fenrir's head again while looking straight ahead. He was glad that Fenrir didn't notice how awful he felt right now. He never would had imagine that he would see Zack again. He wanted to explain everything to him. To tell him that all the things that probably the higher ups had told him wasn't true. Put he couldn't now wasn't the good time. Maybe sometime in the future put not now.
The blue creature started to fly higher and into the dark clouds until slowly despair into them.
While they were walking back to the castle Genesis said something to Zack that left him in shock. "We should keep this a secret from the King for the time being." Genesis said looking at Zack serious.
"What? What the hell are you saying. Are you taking his side? You know as well as I do that if he decided to kill the king. Chances that he may succeed are higher that we imaged." Zack said with a surprise face.
Genesis look at Zack then at the ground. "But you also know that Cloud doesn't like to take judgment on someone's life. He never did and you know that he never will." Genesis said now making direct eye contact with Zack.
"Yeah I know but~" Genesis interrupted him before he could say anymore. " You know that back there could have been worse than some several cut and a serious wound on your arm." Zack look away ashamed that he just lost to someone that he knew that used to be weak in the past. "He could have killed you if he wanted to. I noticed by the way he was moving while fighting. But he didn't did he?. Besides whatever the reason was that made him come back here. I thought that he would come back here again. So will you keep this between us." Genesis said with a cheerful smile on his face. "Fine." Zack finally manage to spoke again. " But if anything happens in the future Cloud is mine got that. So don't even think of planning on fighting him because next time I fight him I'm going to kick his ass." Zack said with a determined face. "I figure as much you would said that." Genesis still smiling at Zack and with that they headed to the castle. Without another word from neither of them. Walking the long path that they had in front of them. Hopping that next time the two of them meet with Cloud again it would be a pleasant meeting.
(For the once that didn't get what's happening in this first chapter is that Fenrir was capture and brought into this village where Cloud used to be but for unknown reasons decided to betray them. While Cloud was about to exit from the village he meets with none other than with his best friend Zack. Force to fight him in order to escape and because the other's don't know what really happened. They thought that he was going to attack the village or something.)I named Cloud's dragon Fenrir. =P
