Disclaimer: I have the game Final Fantasy 7. But I don't own Square Enix or anything about any of the games I use in this story.
Hello, it's Kare-san. Again. I decided to finally write my own FF fanfic. I haven't ever beaten the very end of FF7 so I have to piece together what happened through FF7:DoC and FF7:AC. Haha, this chapter, I feel has a lot of dialogue. Sorry in advance. Please bear with me through this one. I still only have WordPad. So, if there is any grammar errors please let me know. I'm sure this will turn out okay. Enjoy.
Cloud and Yuffie could feel the rumble of the airship below their feet. When they looked outside they could see that the airship was lifting off of the ground. The hanger door began to slowly shut automatically. Yuffie and Cloud looked around the now dimly lit hanger, when the door had closed. They could see people running around. They were messing with machines, trying to keep pressure at the right rate.
"Always busy, isn't it?" Cloud asked in a dull voice as he began to walk forward. Yuffie kept up with him.
"It's always like this, Cloud. Always busy, busy, busy!" Yuffie jumped up on the last 'busy'. She seemed extremely happy for just being under attack. Cloud and Yuffie continued walking through the hanger reaching the door to leave the hanger.
"Isn't the Shera conveinent?" Yuffie said as the door slid open to a hallway.
"Well, it could be. But I liked the Highwind a lot more." Cloud said as he followed Yuffie through the door.
"Cloud, that ship was so cramped. How could ya have liked that ship more? Was it the chocobos?" Yuffie asked as she walked down a small hallway.
"How can you say the Highwind was cramped. It had bigger walkways and such. So, it wasn't the chocobos. Plus, there are to many small corridors in this airship for my liking." Cloud said as he was behind Yuffie. They continued walking down the hallway. Sometimes there would be a hallway that split off. At the corner would be a WRO soldier. The soldier would salute and then resume just standing still there. Cloud thought that they just took up space in such a small airship anyways. Yuffie and Cloud came up to a small staircase leading up. Then the hallway turned to a dead-end with a door to the left. Yuffie and Cloud walked up to the door, it slid open, and they both went in. They were soldiers walking around the bridge and then some looking out the large window pane for the pilot to see out of. There were a lot of sub consoles that many WRO soldiers were sitting at to aid the pilot. In the center was a circular, holographic map. It spun around searching many coordinates that were inputted. There was a female standing next to the map looking it over. She had hair that came down to her upper back. She pulled a hand through her hair revealing that she had a pair of earrings on. She had a sleeveless, white tank-top on, but it was mostly covered by a sleeveless, black vest she had on. She had a black pair of shorts that came to just above her knee. Around her waist seemed to be a piece of a dress. Obviously it wasn't though, it hung down long in the back, but that was the only place it hung down. She also was accompanied with a pair with wrist-length gloves and a pair of black boots. On her left arm was a black strap. She also had a pink ribbon tied around her right arm. She eyed the map a little, and then looked up. She then turned her gaze to Yuffie and Cloud. At first she seemed shocked, but than she slowly came to her senses.
"Cloud!" The female yelled as she ran over to the male, and then wrapped her arms around him.
"Tifa, everything is ok. I told you I was coming back, didn't I?" Cloud said as some soldiers looked at the pair. A red figure was laying in the corner, but he stood up when he heard Tifa yell. He looked at Yuffie and then to the pair hugging. This beast was covered in black ink tattoos. He had a patch of fur that jutted up off of his head. Within the fur were two clips that were pointing up at an angle. He still looked at Tifa and Cloud.
"Well, you know Cloud's back when Tifa is worried out of her mind." The beast said. It sounded as if he let out a low chuckle. This beast was known as Red XIII. He was kind of like a tiger, but that wasn't what he was. Two men came down from the pilot area and stood next to Red XIII. One was an African American body builder, or so it seemed. He was extremely large compared to anyone else on the airship. He had a head full of corn-rows that were dark brown. He wore a mesh shirt, with a white vest over it. He also wore a baggy pair of green pants. Something different about this man was that his right arm was practically all gone. His right arm was now just a machine. This also substituted as his weapon. For it could also be used as a machine if he wanted. He also sported a pair of huge brown boots. This was the infamous Barrett. The man next to him had a rather mysterious look. He had a red bandanna on and his jet black hair laid over his face. He pushed his hair out of his face, revealing he was rather pale. He wore all black except for his red cape. On his left arm was a arm peice that was gold. It was a claw type weapon that Vincent had besides his gun. It was rather dangerous if it was used against you though. He also sported some metal boots. This was the mysterious Vincent. Another man came down who was wearing a light blue shirt. He had a pair of goggles on his blonde head and a pair of green pants. Around his waist was a red sweater. He also wore a pair of brown boots. In his mouth was a cigarette. He took a drag, and then pulled the cigarette out. This was the great airship pilot Cid. He blow out the smoke and looked to Cloud.
"Ya finally show up, do ya? Well, least ya are here. We can finally get to where we need to be." Cid spoke out to Cloud, as he moved back up to pilot the Shera. Cloud followed him up to the helm.
"Sorry it took me awhile to get back. I have just been busy." Cloud said as he then looked out the large window. The rest of the group came near to hear what was going on.
"Well, least ya are here." Cid said again.
"Why is it so important for me to be here anyways?" Cloud asked Cid.
"Because, Reeve wants to see us all. Just the usual WRO stuff." Cid said as he puffed away on his cigarette.
"Cloud, why have you been spending all your time at Midgar anyways?" Barrett came up the ramp and asked. Barrett and Cloud were good friends, so he didn't see any harm in asking.
"I have been doing some research." Cloud said just barely above a whisper. Barrett seemed to have hit a nerve. So, Barrett decided to back down with the questions.
"Research?" Vincent said as he raised an eyebrow. Vincent looked at Cloud for a little bit and then just proceeded to look out the window.
"It's just something about that past." Cloud said as he began to walk down the ramp. Everyone knew by that last statement what Cloud meant. Barrett felt bad, because he now knew that he had struck a nerve. Tifa looked at Cloud in a concerned manner and reached for his arm. She barely touched his skin, but he didn't look back. He walked towards the door exiting the bridge. It slid open, and Cloud left the bridge.
Haha. This chapter was tough. I might have to go back and redo this one. I had no clue how to fit all these descriptions in one place. I hope ya'll love it. What does Reeve want to talk about? Next chapter. Review?
