(I've worked through difficult times to get something like this started, so here is Chapter 1 of Final Fantasy VII-X 2!)

Final Fantasy VII-X 2

Chapter 1

The roaring sound of a motorcycle could be heard from a great distance away as a hazel-eyed brunette, wearing a white tank top, black shorts that were so short you could almost see her panties, her hands were comfortable in the brown gloves she wore, and her feet were comfortable in the brown shoes she wore as she walked the streets of Nibelheim. The black-haired man beside her had a red cape on a red jacket, a black shirt, black pants, and his feet were in green boots ending in orange points. The woman was 22 years of age, the man however, had stopped aging when he was 27 years of age.

The woman was known by her friends as Tifa Lockhart, the primary owner of "Tifa's 7th Heaven", a bar and pub located smack dab in the heart of Sector 7 in Midgar. The man beside her was known as Vincent Valentine, and when he heard the roaring of a motorcycle in the distance, he immediately identified the sound correctly as Cloud's motorcycle, Fenrir. He then said to Tifa as he pointed towards the sound, which was coming from the south, "Cloud and Aeris are here." Tifa then looked toward where Vincent was pointing and she immediately noticed the plumes of dust being thrown as Cloud and Aeris on Fenrir rapidly approached.

When Cloud and Aeris finally arrived at Nibelheim, he stopped and parked Fenrir next to Tifa's house, which was the second house on the right, and both him and Aeris dismounted after Cloud put the kickstand down and rested Fenrir on it. With a smile on her face, Tifa greeted both of them cheerfully, while Vincent looked on, with a sincere look on his face but glad that they arrived safely.

Vincent, immediately noticing the strange device in Cloud's hand, said to him, "What's that in your hand, Cloud? Some kind of Shinra account card?" Cloud chuckled mildly and then looked at both of them and said, "This is not an account card. Take a listen." and then pressed the activation button on the bottom of the HMU. The holographic message played back to all four of them, the same message that Cloud and Aeris heard before at Cloud's villa.

When the message ended, Tifa said, "Those poor robots are in a serious situation. But, how are we going to get to their world again? The portal closed a long time ago after our last encounter." Cloud said to Tifa, "I don't know, Tifa..." and suddenly dropped the HMU, as if it suddenly got hot. It clattered to the ground with the activation button down in front of all four heroes, and then emitted a blue light. Then, in a flash, they were gone.

Moments later, the four heroes appeared in a strange room with a cylinder-shaped bed facing the porthole on the western wall, and in front of the northern wall, facing the side of the bed, was a desktop with a computer screen with a holographic keyboard. Cloud and crew immediately identified the room correctly as X's room.

Cloud then said to break the ice, "Well guys, here we are..." and then, the alarms inside X's room went off suddenly, as well as all of the other alarms throughout the station! Tifa then got into a fighting stance on instinct, while Cloud drew his Ultima Weapon, Aeris drew her Princess Guard, and Vincent drew his Death Penalty, pointing it towards the sliding door that was the entrance and exit to X's room.

The four heroes never dropped their guard even for a split second when the door slid open, and the two Maverick Hunters drew their weapons on the four heroes from Gaia, and then immediately lowered them. X, the blue armored Maverick Hunter, turned his head to his right and gestured with his right hand, his fingers toward his neck as a signal to cut the alarms.

The alarms shut off soon after, and X and Zero entered the room as the four heroes from Gaia sheathed their weapons. X then broke the ice by briefing the four heroes from Gaia about their newest enemy, which for some reason, X had dubbed "Sephiro-Sigma mk II" because of the supernatural state of death that Sephiroth was in due to the fact that Sigma had literally "sucked the life out of him" to say the least.

Cloud then said after the briefing, "X. Zero. We'd be glad to help you with beating your archenemy. Remember this, though: all six of us have to work as a team." Cloud then looked to his right as if to look at his fellow friends from Gaia and then said, "Am I right guys?" Vincent, Tifa and Aeris nodded in agreement to reply. Zero then made a suggestion by saying, "Then we should split into two groups. Cloud. Aeris. You two are with me. Tifa and Vincent will go with X. Let's meet at the command center. It's in the middle of this station, so it should be hard to miss. Let's move!"

As the six heroes left for the command center in the middle of the station, Sigma was busy putting in the finishing touches on some new robots that were ready to claim the Earth for their new master. The only thing that was unheard, even to the new Maverick Hunters, was the maniacal laughter of a madman who was ready to take over the world.

(What do you think Sigma's got planned for our heroes? Stick around for Chapter 2, it's coming atcha soon!)
