Yupyup... My first major crossover Final Fantasy story, I'm not really good at this sort of thing. Argh... So please don't be harsh guys! I'm a first timer here! I write FFX sometimes, I wrote FFVIII like two years ago?? And I've never had the motivation to do FFVII, I know, I suck. )
Okay, So in this story, it has Final Fantasy's 8/9/10 (With X-2 people following.)
Disclaimer: I don't own the Final Fantasy legacy of games and movies, if I did... Stuff This Story! But I still own my Story etc... you know what I mean.
It had been exactly twelve hours, thirty three minutes and eleven seconds since his last mission.
He was a soldier, it was a perk that came along with the job.
Twelve, thirteen, fourteen... Hmm.
And still, there was no reply.
What the hell's taking him so long?
Jumping off his fully customised Fenrir without a second thought, the rogue soldier continued to walk through the blistering zephyrs that intercepted his walk way, brushing through his pastel blonde hair that seemed to defy all gravity.
The cold night offered nothing to all that stood in its chilling embrace. But the enigmatic soldier made his way under the wooden veranda shelter. He walked under the dimly lit lantern above that allowed safe passage, wiping his shoes as he walked through the glass ranch slider, only to greeted by the warm environment he continued ignore, alongside the whispers he earnt from the witnesses that observed the pastel blonde the instant he walked in the room.
Pushing through the gossip and rumours, the passage lead downstairs through a concrete stone cold chamber, led by yet another long line of dimly lit lanterns.
"Cloud, you should learn to be patient. I will contact you when it is time."
"You said that six hours ago."
The dark figure stood against the wall, looking at the vague moon that hid behind the charcoal clouds. His back was towards the impatient, yet somehow expected guest, and it looked like he had been in that position for a while not. The blonde figure took a quick glance at the desk where the files laid, it looked like it hadn't even been touched. Not even an attempt to read the confidential information inside the report.
Cloud didn't bother with some kind of invitiation to enter a room he was all too familiar with. The jet black mystery would rather stay silenced in his thoughts then to give acceptance into his chamber, it was a part of his personality, alongside the fact he barely spoke a word in the presence of others, especially of those he wasn't fond of.
"Somethings on your mind Vincent."
Turning around to face him, the blood red beauty turned to greet him visually as their eyes made contact. His shoulder blade jet black length hair sat motionless, he wore black skinny jeans with a white singlet. It looked like he didn't bother to make a effort to present himself to such a high standard.
It was unusual to see a powerful person such as Vincent Valentine to present himself so common within the Clan Stronghold known as AVALANCHE, the powerful group who joined to protect the capital of the Eastern Region, also known as their hometown called Edge. Their main focus is to protect Edge and all those who resided, and destroy those who posed any kind of threat to the inhabitants and their environment.
"I don't need a piece of paper to know of your accomplishment." His beautiful blood red eyes turned to greet Cloud visually. In the night, his body was exactly like the azure eyed soldier, brawn and a glowing radiance because it was so pale, but it was such a beautiful cream to make any girl fall at the sight.
Cloud folded his hands as both sat on the two wooden chairs at the near corner of the cold concrete room. Ignoring the folder that was piled upon other multiple ones, it wasn't like Vincent to leave such important things on hold.
"General Caraway attacked, but he was nothing. Yet it doesn't answer my question." Watching Vincent wander in and out of his thoughts while in the present of a friend, it wasn't like the dark entity to let something wander his mind for too long, something was getting at him, and he was not a person who let something get to him. It didn't take a mastermind to notice the tension he hid behind his casual stoic facade, but everyone remained silent then to ask someone so distant, and looked so easily angered.
"Question?" Vincent asked, letting his monotone look take the best of him as he observed the young silent soldier. "The issue that you were thinking about, before I walked in." Cloud sat up a bit, his azure mako eyes observing the blood red mystery that swirled within the dark, yet infamous Vincent Valentine. I'd hardly call it a question, rather a statement.
Another silence came through, another one just like the other one. Nothing special about this silence, just something that Vincent used to recollect his bearings and Cloud took advantage to rid of whatever was on his rather secluded mind. But this silence was about to be broken as the soldier noticed a slight flinch at the corner of his eye from Vincent, who gathered his breath to explain what his problem was.
"My little sister." Was all Vincent used to express his problem, simple, five syllabols and straight to the point, much like his sister. But Cloud arched his thin eyebrow, confused as anything. "I don't recall you bringing up a sister, you or Zack."
Of course, his somewhat opposite cousin and Cloud's other close friend. No one knows how a secluded person like Vincent could even be possibly related to the cocky and caring Zack. What surprised Cloud was that this 'cocky and caring' cousin of the black mystery was one of his best friends.
Ridding his thoughts of Zack, Cloud directed his attention at Vincent with the instant remembrance that he wasn't an only child, like he always assumed. And now he has a sister? Why would he troubled by a sister he doesn't even talk about?
"She will be living here from now, I have sent Zack to pick her up." Vincent explained, letting go of any grief that he could have possibly shown on a monotone glance before sitting back with reassurance. Cloud looked at his friend with that same sceptical glare. "You mention her as if she's the evil sister from hell."
But Vincent gave a small chuckle, which was unusual. "Hardly."
Fine. Cloud shrugged his shoulders, giving a small chuckle of his own. So he has a little sister, alongside a cousin who socially can't be related to you. You really are full of surprises.
"You mentioned 'Timber Train Station.'" Cloud recalled, of course he knew what Vincent said, but Timber was all the way in Western territory. Eastern, Western and Southern territories were not always exactly on 'good terms' for the most part.
"She was staying with some relatives in Luca, just before Timber." Vincent explained, it wasn't like him to be so open about these sort of things, bother Cloud and Vincent were secretive about their personal like. But this issue seemed to be taking the best of Vincent, and that wasn't something that happened often.
"Then what's the bad part?" Cloud turned from his glare from the ground, back up to Vincent who was looking directly in his eyes. He was well mannered like that.
"A war is approaching, you know that." Vincent implied sternly, and Cloud knew that. Of course a war is coming, everyone knew that. But then it occurred to the Blue Mako eyed apostle. "The big brother gene. Never knew you had it in your Vincent."
"Neither did I." Without a thought, he looked out of the window. Of course, he had been there looking and waiting for his sister to arrive. The way he was dressed, maybe he didn't want to scare his sister with his usual crimson matching cloak with the assorted sharp objects, black buckles and of course, the constant black he practically lived in. If Cloud wasn't a Master Swordsman and so good looking alongside courage, he would be scared of Vincent too.
"I did not want her to come right now." Vincent redirected his attention from the window, back to Cloud who nodded his head. "The prince returned from the Bastion."
"Besaid have come in possession of an air craft as well." Cloud stood up, standing beside his friend as the two looked outside the window together, both awaiting the arrival of his sister. "The Celcius."
Now all three major Clans were in possession of an air craft. Their one called the Highwind that was crafted by the most experienced person in rocket science, Cid Highwind. The Ragnarok, in which the seeD's managed to salvage at one point when their mission was needed in outer space, the prince was able to rescue it alongside the new sorceress. Then there was the newest one called the Celcius, the least informed craft of the three.
Vincent looked from outside, back to Cloud, he knew what needed to be done.
"Cloud, look after her when I'm gone."
But Cloud looked at Vincent, completely taken back by his caring nature towards his little sister, but the azure eyed soldier was trying not only to recall a time he had ever been this nurturing, but by his request also. "If I'm not on a mission, I'm a delivery boy."
"I won't be here to protect her all the time Cloud." Vincent's voice was becoming too loud, compared to his subdued nature that followed his chilling muffled voice. He really cares about her. It must be the only good thing left in his world.
Now that Cloud wandered, he too didn't much like Vincent. The similarities was that they had each other in good companionship, they had Zack and whatever benefits came with that. He had Fenrir and Ultima Buster that came along with six other swords that took him seven days to distinguish the difference between the blades, two days to find the small sword he lost whilst trying to take a delivery.
Vincent was always sheathed with his Death Penalty guns, and now a sister. Living with nothing, he had little to cherish, and his sister must have been different if he made the black mystery act so caring towards her. Without a thought, Cloud looked at his friend.
"Fine."
