Note: The characters in this story belong to the authors that created them, as do the cities, materia, limit breaks, and the weapons; however, the plot is mine, it belongs to me, myself and I, mine, all mine, and no one's but mine, GOT THAT!!
Thanx for the reviews, as u read in the first chapter, the perspective of the story alters from time to time, this is signaled by //Sephiroth// or //Tifa//, the two main characters in my story. Again, any reviews would be helpful, but keep em constructive
Once again I ramble, here's the story, enjoy,
The Final Heaven
CH.2 The Recovery
//Sephiroth//
"Are you still doubtful?", I asked. "She defeated all three and passed your test," I stated
"In all fairness, she had assistance," said that ignorant fool, " And she fought them one at a time."
"Her assistance wasn't helpful and therefore irrelevant. She passed"
"But he distracted two of the Shinra guards."
"And she took advantage of that distraction, besides, if he did not arrive, Tifa would have retrieved the gun and shot them both. And they had no chance once she achieved Limit Break."
"What's Limit Break?", inquired that intolerable excuse for senscience.
"Why must you be so ignorant?" I asked sincerely. When he failed to respond I continued "If you don't know already then it is too complex for your feeble mind", I explained.
"You know, my synthezoid is almost complete," he said, in an obvious attempt to turn the conversation away from my limitless list of his inadiquisese. "It should be fully operational within a week."
I seized this opportunity to diminish his over-inflated ego even further, "Your little project should have been completed last week; now if you could even approach competence for a second, you might actually accomplish something around here." I became oddly pleased by the terror in his worthless, makoless blue eyes, perhaps this could become a new pastime.
"Seph," he said, then paused as if to choose the best wording, "Perfection takes time!"
"See to it that your robot is completed within three days."
"Synhtez..." he was correcting before he saw my superior Mako green eyes, turn toward him. He turned away as he mumbled something incoherently. Why do I even tolerate his existence. He is slow, stupid, and quite amazingly ugly.
He turned and stated, "She and her irrelevant assistance are inside Shinra mansion. Shall I organize another test, just to be certain?"
"No," I said, "Just send a team to chase her out of 'Nibelheim', and complete your robot!"
"Synthez", he was unable to finish his statement as I removed my Murasame from it's sheath. Cait knew that, despite it's fragile appearance, the Murasame was in fact a very deadly sword, and he kept his mouth shut. He also left hastily. His absence allowed me to resume my pondering. "She may be enough, if I return her to the planet at the right time! Your long wait is almost over, Mother," I declared to the world around me. After that I remained silent as I continued to formulate my plan.
//Tifa//
DO RE MI TI LA DO RE MI SO FA DO RE DO
I awoke to this familiar tune, I used to play it all the time on my piano. I believe that Cloud also liked that song, I thought. As I opened my eyes I realized that I was not in my room. Not even in my house. I appeared to be on a couch somewhere. I got up to see who was playing the piano. As I placed my arm to get up off the couch, I felt a horrible pain in my arm and leg. Suddenly, memories came flooding back, I instinctively reached for my hair and found that part of it was missing and I noticed the blood stains on my sleeve and pant leg. "Cloud," I yelled out before I thought about it. The music stopped and the pianist came over to my side. He, of course, was Cloud. As he was about to say something, I asked, "Where are we, where are they, how long was I ... what did they?,"
"Shut up Tifa, you need to rest." My glare told him that I would not just rest until I got my answers. "All right, we are in the old mansion on the outskirts of town, those men are not here, I think that they are still out cold, you were unconscious for less than two hours, I don't know why they were after you and you must rest!"
I returned to my previous position, but I would not be so easily dismissed. "How did I get here?"
"When I woke up, I found you out cold next to me. You were facing this mansion and I figured that, with Shinra after you, it would be best if we hid"
"Did you retrieve your sword?" He then pointed to the piano. Then, I guess, he remembered that I shouldn't get up as he verbalized his gesticulation.
"I went back for it. I wasn't to difficult, seeing as he was dead at the time.""Dead!," I exclaimed
"Yep. The other two seemed fine but HE looked pretty dead to me."
"Let's see, resisting arrest, assault on three officers, and murder one, all in the same evening," I said in an attempt to lighten the mood.
"You mean self D, not murder one."
"Think that's what they'll say?" I asked rhetorically. Cloud went over to the window.
"I see you point," he replied
"You know, that was a pretty pathetic rescue attempt, ran right in to his attack. If you ever wanna get in to SOLDIER you'll have to do better than that," I said. Once again trying to lighten the mood.
"Well," he said. "Looks like we should head for the basement."
"Why?"
"I'm thinking that we should avoid those Shinra guard vehicles." He came over and picked me up, of course for me a very unpleasent experience, as every step reminded me of my injuries.
"This'd be a lot easier if you shed a kilos," he said as he went through the doorway and into the secret staircase in the wall (which happened to hit my head the first time). He then took me to the old library, a place that no one but we had been in in years. After locking the door and placing me on a bench. He went to our little hole in the wall and reached in. When his arm exited the wall his hand was attached to a yellow materia.
"Try at the back to the right, I think that is where the 'Restore' is. On his second attempt he extracted two green materia and a purple materia.
After examining the second green materia, he declared, "Found it". He equipped it and stepped towards me. He placed his palms facing me and half bent his arms at the elbows, and said, 'CURE'. Sure enough, the pain decreased and the gashes closed. I got up to prove his success.
"All we need now is an 'Esuna' spell, do we have a 'Heal' materia."
"Nope," he replied
"How about a medicinal cure, do we still have any Remedies or antidotes.?"
"Fraid not, but why do you want those anyway."
"Oh come on, you know as well as I do that Shinra bullets are lead based."
"So."
"I might have lead poisoning."
"I see. They might have some sort of cure in 'Cosmo Canyon', and since we have to get out of town anyway."
"Shhhhhhhh! Keep quiet! I can hear them upstairs."
"There not here sir," came a muffled voice from upstairs, "We've searched the entire main floor"
"Send half of them upstairs and take the other half out to search 'Mount Nibel'."
"Sir, I don't think a little girl would risk going into 'Mount Nibel', it is swarming with monsters!"
"Perhaps it was a mistake to promote. Even a first year guard would not fear 'Nibel'. Perhaps you should return to 'Midgar' and explain to Cait Sith why your incompetence ruined our plans and allowed the girl to escape."
"The mountain will be searched sir," I heard him respond with renewed vigor, but they must half walked to a different part of the mansion, because I could no longer make out the conversation.
"We're screwed," I said in a small voice to Cloud.
Don't worry, you heard them, they don't know about the hidden staircase. We are safe for the moment."
"But they will find it eventually."
"Hense the 'the moment'."
"We should grab all the supplies that we can carry and sneak out."
"What if they catch us, just cause you beat three doesn't mean you can beat thirty."
"That's why we need our materia.." I reached through the hole and pulled out our level two 'Ice'.
":That's nice, but you can't cast 'Ice2' on all of them."
"That's why you have to grab the 'Lightning' materia. And I think we still have our 'All'. "
I fished through the wall and extracted all of the materia that we had collected over the years. Seven in total.
"Collect all our stuff, I'll be back in a minute." I went into the back room, where we kept our other supplies. Spare clothes, weapons, and our stockpile of food. I got out of my blood-soaked clothes, and put on some fresh ones. I then grabbed my 'Mythril Claw', and Cloud's 'Mythril Saber', since his 'Buster Sword', was upstairs apparently leaning against the piano. I also grabbed our emergency med-kits (who would have thought that our little fantasies, and paranoias, would one day pay off). When I returned, I noticed that Cloud had rapidly complied with my instructions.
"Give me your pack!" I complied at once and he opened it and started to stuff supplies into it.
"What the hell is this," he exclaimed as he noticed the materia at the bottom of my bag.
"It's an 'Elemental'."
"Where d'you get it.
"Duh, on my incursion in to 'Mount Nibel' two and a half hours ago. Sorry for forgetting to mention it but I was unconscious." He seemed to deem my answer sufficient, as he continued to pack. I decided to assist him. Ten minutes later we were ready to depart.
"We have enough supplies and Gil to make it to 'Cosmo Canyon'. If we get separated we should meet there."
"Cloud."
"Yeah"
"Just wanna tell you that if one of us dies , I want you to know that um."
"What."
"Nothing."
"Oh."
"It's just that. I uh. Thanks for taking me here, you know."
"NO prob," he said. "You'd do the same for me!?!"
"Right," I answered quickly.(I guess I couldn't really blame him, even I didn't know exactly what I was saying at the time)"Good luck," I finished as I headed for the door. "I don't think we will survive without it."
There you have it, Chapter two of The Final Heaven, hope u enjoyed it, any reviews would be great. Espesially if you want to know more. Who is Sephiroth? Why does he want to 'return Tifa to the planet'?, will they escape? If you want to know, write some reviews and I'll get right on it.
