Here's my second chapter. PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks for the review(s) so far! Accepting requests and constructive criticism. There will probably be a new character added in. Thanks
Tifa and Aeris dragged Cloud along for shopping. Barrett and Red XIII wondered off somewhere. Yuffie went on to annoy Vincent, while Will and Cid went to the bar to kill time. "Nothing like a good pint to help you clear your mind," Cid said. "Can't drink, sorry. I'm only 20," Will stated, sitting down. "Only 20? HAHA!" Cid laughed. "What?" "Drinkin' age is 18, man. What kind of twisted place did you come from?" "Well, a place where the drinking age is 21," Will said. "Well, that much suck. You deserve a beer. Coming out of nowhere, ripped from your home and dropped in a foreign land. The first one's on me," Cid said, slapping the bar. Two beers slid down the table.
"Uhh! I don't know!" Cloud said. "Come on…it's between peach and yellow," Tifa said, holding two dresses. "They look the same to me," Cloud said nonchalantly, sitting at a bench, his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands. "Ugh!" Tifa stormed off, and Cloud chuckled to himself. He saw two figures walk by the store, and looked. "They look like they don't belong here…" Cloud said. "Purple or prune?" "I don't know!"
Yuffie and Vincent were ontop of a building somewhere, talking. Well, Yuffie was doing the talking, and Vincent was restraining himself. "So, what's it like being old? Does that cape ever get hot? Can you fly? Why do you have a claw?" "SHUT UP!" Vincent yelled, startling Yuffie enough to jump and slide off the roof. "CRAP CRAP CRA-*THUNK*" Apparently the yell was enough to startle the two girls walking by. "That was loud! Gah, I didn't even say anything," the blonde said. "Meh, maybe talking to his crazy girlfriend," the other girl remarked, looking around. "Ooo shiney!" "No!" the blonde girl said, holding back her friend. "B-but…shiny…" "No. We're going to the pub, to get some answers. That crazy voice in the white room told us to."
Cid and Will were laughing, having a contest to see who could drink the fastest. "Bullshit! Your mug had less beer in it!" Cid said, obviously tipsy. "Yeah yeah. That's what they all say," Will remarked laughing. The double doors opened, and the two girls walked in. "Heyyy," a drunk sailor said, looking at both the girls. "Ew, no," the blonde remarked. "Come on baby, I've been on a boat for 4 months now," the sailor replied, standing up. "Should have made it five, now go away!"
Cid and Will heard the commosion. "Crap, D. I. D.'s" said. "What?" "Damsels in distress," Will said, standing up and walking over. "Does there seem to be a problem here?" Will asked. "What's it to you, big stuff?" the sailor remarked. Will pulled out his sword and held the tip to the sailor's throat. "I'm big boned, ya goat humper. Sit down before your friends have to come in here and clean you up with a stick and spoon," Will said, revving his sword. "Whoaa!" the raven-haired girl remarked. "Fine," the sailor said, going to sit down. Then he grabbed his bottle and smashed it, stabbing at Will. He slid to the side and swung his sword like a bat, launching the sailor out the window the hurling him through the air.
"Wow…thanks," the blonde girl said. "Eh, 'twas nothing," Will said, sheathing his sword. "Thanks…but I don't remember you from the game," the other girl pointed out. "I'm not from the game…WAIT! You two were sent here also?" Will exclaimed. "Yeah! Names Aya!" the blond said. "And I'm Aika," the other girl remarked, standing straight with a cheesy grin. "I'm Will…welcome to Gaea," Will said. "Are you gonna flirt with them, or come back and drink some more?!" Cid yelled over his shoulder. "Keep your pants on, old man!" Will said, walking back over to the bar. "Wow, they're just alike," Aika said, making Aya laugh.
"So, you were sent here from your home? Let me guess, your PS3 was acting up, and next thing you know you're in a bright white room with an omnipotent voice?" Will asked, taking a swig. "Yeah! Then we were dropped down right next to Junon. We were told to go to the bar in Costa Del Sol," Aya said. "Hmm. How off…there's something weird going on here," Will pointed out, taking a drink.
A few minutes later, Cloud walked in. "ZOMAHGOSH! CLOUD!" Aika yelled, trying to glomp him. Will held her shirt to keep her back. "Don't hug him. His hair might impale you," Will said. "Who are these two?" Cloud asked. "They're just like me. They were brought here and dropped off." "Uh…huh…well that sucks." "What have you been doing?" the drunk pilot asked. "Shopping. God, what's the different between purple and prune anyways? They're driving me mad!" Cloud said, holding his head and asking for a beer.
"Anything of interest, other than that?" Will asked. "Nope. Just killing time till the morning when we can get on the boat," Cloud said. "BULL! WE JUST CAME OF THAT BOAT!" Aika yelled, making Aya slap her hand over her mouth. "Uh…what are you doing going back to Junon?" Aya asked, trying to keep her friend quiet. "Well, Will here has an idea how we can become stronger. Apparently the Temple of the Ancients is a nasty place." Aika nodded furiously.
As the day drew to a close, everyone retreated to the hotel rooms. "Uh…Cloud?" Tifa asked. Cloud walked into their rooms. "Will, Aya, Aika, get in here," Cloud said. "Crap, what did we do now?" Aika asked. They walked in. There were two dressers there. One had Charley on it, and the other had Kati on it. "That's…our names!" Aika said, running to hers. Aya ran to hers, opening it up. "Change of clothes…and GUNS?!" Aya yelled, pulling out two guns.
"Awesome! A staff," Aika pulled out her weapon, which was a metal staff, much like Aeris'. "Well, you girls can bunk down in that room. Me, Vincent, and Will got the second one, and the others take the other one," Cloud said. "Damn, I got the snorer!" Cid said. "Like yo can talk foo! Yo sound like a chainsaw!" Barrett said. "Let's just get to bed. We got a long day ahead," Will said, and everyone went their separate ways.
As normally, Will didn't find any sleep. "Damn insomnia," Will said to himself, getting out of bed. He thought a good long walk will make him tired. He dressed, and brought his sword, just in case. He walked out, and bumped into Aika. "Oh, sorry!" Aika said. "Hey, what are you doing up?" "I could ask you the same thing." The two raised an eyebrow. "Uhm, insomnia. You?" Will said, looking out the window of the corridor. "Same. Had it since I was little," Aika said, sighing. Will chuckled. "Guess we're more alike than we think. England, right?" Will asked, and Aika nodded. "I'm from America." "Ooo, always wanted to go there," Aika said, walking with Will outside. They took a walk around the small coastal town, talking about random things.
About two in the morning rolled around before they got back to the hotel rooms. Will walked in, and saw what looked like Vincent snuggling with his gun. Cloud has feathers all over his hair from his spikes stabbing the pillows. Will stifled a laugh and slumped down on his bed, getting comfortable. "Well, here I come, Sephiroth. You got more enemies now," Will said, falling back. The last thing he remembered was Cloud mumbling something about squishy.
"WAKE THE F%$# UP!" Cid screamed, banging on the door.
Will shot straight out of bed. It was morning already. Cloud got up, with feathers all over his face, and Vincent was already leaving the room. Will quickly dressed and rushed out. The air had suddenly gotten colder. The wind picked up, and the smell of the sea was drowned out by something putrid. "Uh! What smells like a horse's ass?" Will asked. "Barrett probably forgot to shower again," Cid said, making the bigger man pissed. "What happened?" Cloud asked, walking out. "There was a sighting of Sephiroth out here." Will looked around, smelling the air.
"This is odd. Almost smells like a swamp," Will said. "Swamp?" Aeris asked, as everyone else walked out of the inn.
"No!" it finally hit Will. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Cloud asked. "I think I am, and I hope I'm wrong," Will stated. About that time, something large busted out of the water. "AHH! IT'S TEH ZOLOM!" Aika screamed, flailing all over the place. "Holy piss. It's bigger than I thought!" Will said, looking at the huge serpent. "It's alright, we can take him…can't we?" Aya asked. Will's eyes drooped. "Your voice reeks of confidence," Will said, sarcastically. The snake had its eyes on them since Aika started screaming. Everyone took out their weapon, ready for a fight. "Will, Aika, and Aya…you guys stay ba-what the hell?!" Cloud yelled as Will was already running up to the snake yelling "TIME'S UP LET'S DO THIS!"
"Gotta hand it to him. He's brave. Either brave, or dumber than hell," Cid said, making his way up to the snake. "Aya, Barrett, and Vincent, give us covering fire. The other girls can stay guard to make sure nothing else tries to get into the village," Cloud said, taking out his Buster Sword and running.
"Nice ta meet cha. Names Barrett," Barrett said, cocking his gun. "Aya," the blonde girl said, loading her guns as well.
Cloud caught up with Will. "Do you even have a plan?!" Cloud asked. "Uh…not really. Kill it till it dies, I guess," Will said, almost making Cloud trip. "Give me a boost." Will put the end of his blade on the ground as Cloud stepped on it. Will put both hands on the handle and flung Cloud into the air at the snake. Everyone could hear the melody of guns firing bullets as the gunpowder almost covered the swamp musk. Will pointed his hand at the snake. "FIRE…" nothing happened. Will started flailing his arm around. "I SAID FIRE, DAMMIT!" "You gotta let the energy of the materia do the work!" Cloud yelled. Just then, Will could feel something swirling in his hand. He snapped his fingers as flames shot out and hit the snake. "HELL YEAH!"
Unfortunately this pissed off the snake even more. The Zolom reared its head upward, with Cloud still on top of it. "BETA!" Cloud yelled. "No shit!" Cid yelled back, stabbing his spear into the snake, making it reel. Aya loaded a hollow point and fired, taking out one of the Zolom's eyes, but grazed Cloud's hair. "HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE SHOOTING!" "SORRY!" Aya yelled back. "It's alright. His hair would of deflected it anyways," Barrett said, charging up his Big Shot.
Will thrusted forward, stabbing his sword into the snake's belly. "Times to turn up the heat…wow that sounds corny as hell," Will said, cranking on the throttle for his sword. The snake shrieked as the heat from the sword started burning it's insides. Will pulled out his sword. "Eww, groddy," Will said, wiping the blood off his sword. Barrett fired his limit break, knocking the snake in the head hard. Cloud fell off, but landed on his feet. Aya put in another clip when she heard a deep voice. "Step aside."
Another man walked up, sporting what looked to be military camies and a long tan trench coat. He reached into his holsters and brought out two Colt revolvers. His guns were on fire as he aimed up at the snake. "Hellscream…" he fired the weapons, as all 12 shots screamed through the air, and hit the snake, shredding its neck and head. The snake swayed, and sunk back into the water, dead as could be.
"Whoa…who are you?" Aya asked, looking at the man. He just holstered his weapons. "Just a mercenary," he said, holstering his weapons. "Um…thanks," Aika said. "Anytime…wait…who's that?" he asked, pointing. "Oh, the guy with the mean sword? That's Will," Aika said. The man smiled. "TATER!"
The voice carried over, and Will's ears perked up. "Wait…" he turned and looked at the man. "No…freaking…way…Chach!" Will called out. He ran over and almost tackled his best friend. "Ok…this is odd," Cid asked. "Not really," Aya and Aika said, staring. (ew, yaoi fangirls. Lol no offence)
"Guys, this is my best friend, Madison. How he got here, I have no clue," Will said. "Well, that's a story for another time, Willy." "Whatever. How'd you get here? You don't have the game," Will asked, making the two friends from England say "DAMMIT!" "Well, I got an e-mail from you, saying something about some kick ass picture. Right as I clicked on it, my computer went into like, seizures and suddenly ate me. I was dropped off in some shatty town to the west. Pagodas and crap everywhere." "HEY! THAT'S MY TOWN!" Yuffie yelled. "Blow me. Anyways, what happened to you?" "Well, I was just simply sucked into the PS3. So were these two," Will said, pointing at the girls.
"Hm. Well, this is getting interesting. I wonder if my military branch things I'm AWOL yet," Madison said, scratching the back of his head. "Nah. Time doesn't pass back there. At least, that's what I heard," Will stated, looking at some smoke coming from town. "Oh SHIT! The ship!" Barrett yelled. Everyone started pegging it to the dock.
