7th Heaven (Fallen Angels)

Cloud Strife sat at that the counter in the noisy bar, checking over his buster sword, oiling and sharpening the edge as he talked to the woman busy washing dishes and cooking orders of food for the patrons.

"Tifa, is Barret gonna be back soon with the new assignments for me?", he calmly asked as he set down the sword, picking up his fork and eating some of the mystery dish that he had been forced to taste test. Taking a bite, he chokes it down as the woman puts down a towel turning, putting her hands on her hips.

"Now Cloud, you all just got back from destroying that reactor last night. Barret's out with Marlene have a day to themselves." Taking the plate from in front of him, she places another mystery dish down, looking at him to dare avoid eating it.

"Another?!" Cloud groans.

The figure fell through the clouds faster then he could have imagined. The two cities below rushing closer. His hair whipping in the wind, the speed forcing him to close his eyes. He faintly remembers how he got where hes at now, memories of his home hazy since he stepped through the door.

"teddy" he mumbles, "yes, that's my name." opening his eyes again, he sees hes falling fast for the city under the larger one shadow. "will I survive this" he mumbles again. The buildings start to take clear shape as he gets nearer to them. He feels his body on fire, turning his head slightly he looks back seeing flames trailing his body, the tail stream visible as far as can be seen. Turning his head back forward, he sees hes now heading for a small two story building, his body breaking the sound barrier. Looking at the building and surrounding area, Teddy sees the people below look up and point at his falling form. As he gets closer, he sees people running into the building, coming back out dragging two people with them, a man with yellow hair blue shirt and blue pants supported by a belt and suspenders and a woman with black hair dressed in a white shirt and black shorts, both looking up and watching him fall towards them. Looking up, teddy sees hes going to hit the side of the building, thinking just before impact, "crap, this is gonna hurt".

As Biggs and Wedge pulled Cloud out of the bar excitedly, Tifa put down what she was doing and follows, curious what was happening. Stepping into the dim daylight, she looks around seeing the large crowd gathered, all of them pointing upwards as Wedge starts talking to Cloud fast.

"Look at that!", he says loudly, drawing Clouds and Tifa's attention skyward. "It just appeared and started streaking this way. It was just falling, but then it turned and started heading this way. What do you think it is?"

"I don't know." Cloud tells him as he looks at Tifa, while she shakes her head negative as she looks back at the falling object. "But what ever it is, its gonna hit the building any second." , he suddenly starts looking at the crowd frantically,"GET AWAY FROM THE BAR! IT'S GOING TO HIT IT!" Grabbing Tifa's arm, he runs away from the bar as the object slams in to the building, shooting through its side and coming out the other side, slamming into the dirt and making a impact trail, ending where it slammed into one of Midgar's support pillars.

Looking around at the crowd. Cloud looks for and sees Barret arriving with Marlene on his shoulders, waving him over, he turns to Tifa, Biggs and Wedge who are doing crowd control. Cloud turns back as he hears Barret telling Marlene to go find someone to look at the damages to the bar.

"Yo, Spikey" Barret says as he grabs Clouds shoulder,"What did you do to my bar? What in the Sam Hell happened? Why is There a Hole in the walls?" he starts rapid firing questions as his gattling arm starts to spin rapidly.

"Easy Barret" Tifa yells over her shoulder while talking to a elderly couple, "Cloud didn't do anything, it was some sort of object. It went right through the bar and crashed into the support pillar." finishing up talking to the couple, she turns and walks back to where the two men were standing. "Why don't we leave Biggs in charge and go look at it.

"I agree with Tifa," Cloud says as he shrugs off Barret's hand, "what ever it is, it could be dangerous. So lets go see what it is."

Grunting in agreement, Barret turns and starts ordering Biggs to clean up the area, and make sure Marlene stays out of trouble. Meanwhile Cloud looks at Tifa shrugging before entering the bars remains and comes back after fishing out his sword, pulling two small orbs out of his pocket and slapping them into the two slots in the swords blade.

"Well, shall we go see what landed."
