"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"I don't know... Sore."
"Try to move slowly."
"...Okay, I can move... Who are you?"
"It's time to wake up now, they are waiting for you."
"Wait, who are you?"
...
"Hey kid, what the hell are you mumbling about!?" Skye opened her eyes to see four people and a cat in the same room as her.
"Where am I?" Skye asked.
"You're in the airship, Shera!" The cat talked.
Skye just blinked at the cat, "What the hell, why can you talk!" Skye shouted, she would never say it but, the talking cat was freaky.
"Way to go Cait Sith, you scared her." The girl from before said.
"Shut up, Yuffie!" It yelled back in a strange accent.
"Okay stop, who the hell are you and why am I in an air ship!" Skye shouted and looked at everyone.
"Sorry, let me introduce you to everyone, my name is Reeve, head of the WRO." A man with black hair that goes to his shoulders who has a beard and is dressed in a blue trench coat said. "This is Cid Highwind." He gestured to an older man that wore pilot goggles on his head and was smoking a cigaret. "That girl is Yuffie." The girl from before smiled and waved, she looked like a ninja. "The toy cat is Cait Sith." He pointed to the cat. That's why it can talk, it's a toy... What a relief...Skye thought to herself. "The man in red is Vincent Valentine." Reeve finished.
Skye nodded, "The names Skye, thanks for saving me back there."
Vincent only nodded, Cid on the other hand wanted to ask some questions. "Skye huh, well you're hair and you're name remind me a lot of our friend."
Skye was getting annoyed how everyone was saying how her hair looked so familiar and how she looked like some guy, "Good for you, now tell me why I'm here."
Reeve stepped up, "I see you have a lot of potential, you can fight well enough, and you have experience. I want you to join the WRO."
"How do you know that I can fight well?" Skye asked.
"We've been watching." Reeve answered.
"Well sorry, I don't trust the military." Skye said flatly.
"The WRO is nothing like how Shinra was. We need young recruiters like you to join." Reeve pushed on.
"Find someone else, I fight alone." Skye said.
"Look where that got you!" Reeve raised his voice. "Nobody can fight alone, not even the strongest person in the world can! Please think about it." Reeve finished and left the room.
"Damn..." Cid mumbled and walked out the room as well. Vincent left right after Cid.
"Please think it through, if you want to fight, fight with us!" Yuffie exclaimed.
"All I wanted to do was to go to Midgar to find a job!" I shout.
Yuffie frowned, "Well this is a job, a pretty damn good job too, with good pay and you get to help people. Just think about it, we like the style of your fighting, we will need someone like you."
Maybe it will be good for me...Skye pondered. "I'll think about it."
Yuffie smiled, "Good, sorry for dumping all this stuff on you, but this will only help you!" Yuffie said and walked out the door happily.
How do they know if I will be any good, they don't even know me! People are so foolish, trusting people they just met..."Skye laid back down on the bed she was in and stared at the ceiling.
"My head..." Skye complained as her ears began to ring and everything went black.
"You should join them."
"You again?"
"They are friends of mine, you should trust them."
"I can't trust anyone..."
"If you join the WRO, you can find him."
"Him? Who's him, who are you!"
"We never met, but you will find out who I am when you find him."
"You're avoiding my questions..."
"You will find your answers soon enough please join the WRO and all your questions will slowly be answered."
Skye opened her eyes to see the same room. Join the WRO and I will find my answers? Do I really care about this? Damn it!
Skye got up and walked out of the room to go find Reeve. She walked down the hallway until she walked into the control room. As she walked in, she could see all of the Junon Area, it was very impressive. She heard people talking and walked over to see Reeve speaking with Cid.
Once Reeve saw her, he stopped talking and looked at Skye with a questioning look. "Yes?"
"I'll do it." Skye said crossing her arms.
Reeve's eyes shot wide open, "Wait, so you'll join!" Reeve asked in excitement. Skye just shook her head. "Oh this is great we really need young people like you. This will be so good for you because you help the planet recover after the damage it took after Meteor and Omega!"
Skye tried not rolling her eyes at his comment. I really don't care about the Planets needs, I only care about mine.
Vincent and Yuffie walk in and as soon as Yuffie saw Skye she ran up to her. "So, did you make up your mind?"
"Blondie here says she'll join." Cid answered.
"All right," Yuffie jumped up and punched the air. She then put her arm around Skye's neck. "I bet we will become great friends too!" Skye glared at Yuffie. Number one, she did not like being touched. Number two, she did not like Yuffie. Yuffie quickly removed her arm and scooted away from Skye.
"Yuffie..." Reeve, Cid and Vincent just shook their heads."
"So, what do we do?" I asked.
"First, we go to Headquarters." Reeve said and looked to Cid.
"You got it!" Cid said and ran to go fly the airship.
Yuffie backs away, "Oh no..."
"Here we go!" Cid exclaimed and the ship started to fly at a fast speed.
"Whoa!" Skye exclaimed as she almost lost her footing. Once she regained her balance, she smirked a little to herself. This is actually pretty cool.
"Ugh...I hate this..." Yuffie said as she was making gagging noises
"Don't be dramatic." Vincent told Yuffie and walked away from her.
"Have sympathy Vincent!" She shouted.
Skye softly laughs at Yuffie. Funny, my brother had motion sickness as well. I remember that time when we... What am I doing, I shouldn't be thinking about this. It will only bring me pain... Skye sighed and walked up to the front so she can see where they where flying. They were flying so fast, the ground was blurry.
"Magnificent, isn't it?" Reeve came up behind Skye.
"I suppose." She answered. "This beats walking."
Reeve chuckled, "I'll agree with you on that. So tell me about yourself."
"There's not much to tell." Skye said.
"There has to be something, you're good with a sword and you know how use Materia." Reeve pointed out. "How did you learn all that?"
"Look, I'm not in a share and tell kind of mood so can we skip to the part where we go straight to business?" Skye said looking up at Reeve.
Reeve sighed, "Well, I tried. We will arrive at Headquarters soon."
"Reeve," Vincent walked up to Skye and Reeve. "I just got a call from Barrett, there's trouble in Midgar."
"What?" Reeve exclaimed. "What kind of trouble?"
"Monster invasion," Vincent simply said.
"Damn!" Reeve cursed. "Cid, turn her around, we are going to Midgar.
"What, but we are almost at Headquarters!"Cid argued.
"Just do it!" Reeve shouted. Cid cursed loudly and turned the ship around.
Vincent looked down at Skye, "Do you think you can fight?"
"Yeah," Skye nodded.
"Here take this." Vincent handed her an Elixir. "Use it when you really need it."
"Thanks." As they approached Midgar, nasty storm clouds formed around the large city.
"Get ready to jump." Vincent said as he walked away.
Skye paused, "Jump?" Nobody said anything about jumping!
"Skye, come on!" Yuffie exclaimed and Skye ran to follow them.
Once they where in the room where they had to jump, Vincent gave the girls a parachute, "What are you going to use?" Skye asked Vincent as he didn't have a parachute.
"I don't need one." He said.
"Uh, yes you do are you crazy?!" Skye exclaimed.
Yuffie giggled, "Don't worry about Vincent, he'll be fine."
Yeah, he'll be real fine when he's flat like a pancake...
The doors to jump open, Vincent and Yuffie are the first to jump. "Yeeehaawwww!" Yuffie exclaimed as she deceased to the ground.
"Wait!" Skye exclaimed and jumped out. Shit! I never asked when I have to pull the parachute! Once she saw Yuffie pull the parachute, Skye did the same. As they fell to the ground at a safe speed, Skye could see Vincent on the ground unharmed. What the hell? Okay he is definitely not normal. Skye thought to herself.
Once they landed, Vincent was ready to give them orders. "Skye, Yuffie, go to Sector Seven, Barrett will be waiting there for you."
"Okay!" Yuffie exclaimed and the two girls ran to Sector Seven. When they were running, a pack of Blood Taste circled around the girls. "Oh this is just great!"
Skye took her sword from her back and got into her fighting stand, Yuffie beside her did the same. The Blood Taste's were furious and attacked. Skye cut down every single one down that came after her and used Poison Materia on the ones that were attacking Yuffie so it can be easier for her to kill. Once they killed the pack of monsters Yuffie let out a loud sigh, "Thank goodness that's over." Suddenly, thunder boomed and lighting flashed in the sky. Hard rain then started to fall over Midgar. "You got to be kidding me!" Yuffie screamed.
"Keep it down!" Skye told Yuffie and put her hood over her head to cover her spiky hair. "Look over there." Skye pointed over to a man that was standing away from the girls from a great distance. The man wore a long red trench coat with black clothes underneath. He wore black boots, two shoulder guards, and a large sword with a red blade. He also has short reddish brownish hair.
"Hey, he is pretty cute." Yuffie smiled. "Hey, over here," She waved her hands around.
"Stop," Skye grabs Yuffie's arms. "Something is off about that man."
Skye was right the man smirked and flicked his hand. Once he did a Behemoth came out of nowhere. Yuffie jumped back into her fighting position. "Skye, go after him!"
"Alright, be careful!" Skye told Yuffie and ran after the man. She followed the man into a dead end. "Stop right there! Who are you?" She demanded.
"It's not you're right to know." The man said in an English accent and attacked Skye.
Skye quickly protects herself with her sword. She looks up to see the man in face and gasped when she saw his eyes. "You're eyes, were you from SOLIDER?"
The man stepped away from Skye, now not interested to fight. "I was, but that's all in the past now." To Skye's surprise, the man sprouted a black wing on the left side of his back. "I'm sure we will meet again." The man said and flew up to the sky.
"Wings?" Skye was in shock.
"Who are you?" A mysterious man asked in a threatening voice. Skye could almost feel a large sword inches away from her back.
"How about you ask nicer?" She quickly turned around and hit the man's sword with her sword. As both of the big swords clashed together, the wind of it made Skye's hood fall, showing her spiky blond hair that was similar to the man right in front of her. As they both looked at each other for the first time, they gasped and jumped away from each other. Skye stared at the man in front of her, she took in his spiky blond hair, his dark appearance, and his Mako infused eyes. Tears formed in her eyes as she realized who he was, "C-Cloud?"
The man, Cloud, lowered his sword, "Skye..."
Skye dropped her sword and ran to Cloud, wrapping her hands around his torso. "You're alive!" She exclaimed and cried into his chest. She has never cry like this before, never since the fire in Nibelheim.
"Skye..." Cloud looked down at her as she looked up at him with teary eyes. "I-I thought I lost you."
Skye began to sob, "You never came back! I missed you so much!"
Cloud rubbed Skye's back as he tired to comfort her. It's been a long time since he saw her. He really thought she died in the fire. "Shh... It's okay, I'm here now." Cloud said softly as if he was talking to a child. He remembered he would always say that to her when she cried for him as kids.
"Skye," Yuffie whispered as she walked with Vincent. "Where are you?" They stop when they see Cloud comforting Skye as she cried into him. "What?" Yuffie looked at them with a sad expression and tried walking over to them but Vincent put a hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"Let them be," He said knowing how Cloud and Skye must have felt when they thought they lost each other. Yuffie nodded and they both walked back to the air ship.
