Destination Fantasy: Valentine Awaits -- Vincent Valentine Fanfiction Story

Chapter 2

Everything changed when Omega fell to Chaos. The legendary Vincent Valentine wanted rest after taking so much stress on his body. Walking to his new place he placed his phone on the side table and took a seat on a rather comfy bed. "Damn, just when I thought I'll get a break." He sighed, thinking about the week before…

The week before the world was calm and peaceful than ever. Vincent was relaxing at the Mako Cavern thinking of a way he can start living his life. "Lucrecia, you gave me a second chance." He thought as he stared at her for a minute. "Fighting to save the world makes me content knowing I'm doing something and that I have support behind me but moving on is the best for me."

"Vincent." A female voice called from behind. The man turned his head slightly giving his attention to them before turning around to see Yuffie. "You've been here a lot lately. Everyone is looking for you."

"What's going on?"

"Well, they want to make sure that you're ok. You know, just a usual check-up routine." Yuffie stated in an upbeat mood. "I don't know why they're so worried about you. I told them that you're fine but the insisted that you should take some tests."

As Vincent hid his smirk under his cloak, he got up and walked out of the cavern with Yuffie following closely behind. "You know Vincent you do look a little different than before."

"I do?" the man asked with a small questioning expression.

"Just slightly though." The girl stated. "Oh! Reeve also wants to see you as well."

"Hmph." Vincent sighed. He wasn't in the mood to do testing or talk to anyone. People probing for information from him were something Valentine wasn't interested in. Most of the time, they already knew what was going on, they wanted to confirm it with a secondary source. But Reeve was the type of person that would ask for something. Vincent knew if Reeve wanted a talk with him, it was mostly asking for a favor. Of course he didn't mind; it gave him something to do.

Opening his eyes, Vincent stared outside of the window pushing the thoughts of last week to the side. With noises of cheerful crowds, a celebration was taking place. Reminding him of the past, the man turned away from the window and took in a deep breath.

"Ring!" his phone sounded as Valentine grabbed it and looked at it. A text displayed "Your results are ready! Meet us at the lab. – Shelke"

At the lab, Vincent was welcomed by his friends who were looking through his files and test results before leaving. "Hey Vincent" Shelke said who stayed behind. "Were you busy?"

"No, I wasn't."

"I see. Well let me tell you about what we did."

"Fine."

As Shelke explained the procedures that they did, Vincent started to slowly think about different things. What to do with his life, where he should spend it at, what he wanted to do…. All of the questions that he asked himself, he couldn't find answers to. "Vincent?" Shelke asked as she called out to him.

"Sorry Shelke."

"Is there something wrong?"

"No. Nothing's wrong."

Before continuing, Shelke looked at Vincent as he turned away and stared at the lab equipment. "Vincent, I plan on going with Reeve to start the rehabilitation project. The others are going too. Since you put a lot of burden in all of this we decided that you should take it easy and come when you decide to do so."

"I understand." Vincent said with his head lowered. "Thanks."

"You don't have to thank me Vincent. I should be thanking you and Luresica. I should also thank my sister as well." Shelke stated as she paused for a moment. She started walking toward the door as she continued. "I'm starting to understand everything and hopefully we can move on. I left the files open if you still want to see them. I need to meet up with the others to finalize our plan."

Alone in the lab, Vincent walked up to the computer which displayed his data and the results from the tests they conducted the week before. "They knew nothing was wrong." Vincent thought. "I guess this wasn't a complete waste of time. At least it's confirmed that with all the stress on my body as Chaos, it didn't negatively affect me."

A moment after looking at the last part of the test results, Vincent heard a small crash a few feet away. Turning around the man grabbed his trusted Cerberus to see that something was smoking near a chamber. Instantly a gust of wind carried the smoke as it swirled around the Turk. Although Vincent's reaction time was at it's highest, the smoke moved became rapid as he tried to move away shooting at it."What the hell is this?!" Vincent thought as the smoke spread around him. "Shelke!"

Vincent shouted as he began find an opening. All he could see is smoke; everywhere he turned was smoke. He held his gun and took a defensive stance moving around. His energy quickly decreased as his muscles started to relax. Vincent Valentine noticed the smoke getting a little thinner. "Stay alert, Valentine." The Turk thought still holding his stance. "Anything can happen."

As Alissa and Clara walked toward the magician's event, they looked at all the merchandise and food around them. Inviting smells circled around their noses and their curiosity wanted them to stop and glaze and the things in front of them. "You really think this is going to be good?" Alissa asked with a little doubt. She noticed a normal looking guy on stage setting up. "You said that this place was cheesy, but just look at all the props; now that's cheesy."

"Lissa, we all know this stuff isn't real so chill a little." Clara said giving her a light pat on the shoulder. "This stuff reminds me of us when we saw those magic shows."

Alissa laughed as the two girls took their seats in the second row in the front. Almost instantly, a poof of smoke appeared and a loud bang exploded on stage as the illusionist popped out of what seemed like thin air. "Hello my guest!" The magician shouted. "Are you ready? Let's get this show started!"

As the crowd clapped, Alissa was frightened and felt uneasy. The man on the stage looked at the audience with a smirk before throwing more exploding smoke to the floor. The smoke became thicker as a strong wind picked up and circled around Alissa. Standing up from her chair and giving a small gasp, the woman looked around confused and scared for her life. "Oh my goodness!" she cried as she stepped forward only to see the foggy smoke. "What's going on?"

Vincent noticed details of a forest getting clearer by the second. The smoke that circled around him started to disappear until there weren't anymore around him. Sensing something behind him, Vincent turned around held up his gun to see the same smoke going in circles in a particular. The Turk looked around before taking his attention back to the smoke that still swirled. Ready to shoot at anytime the smoke disappeared and presented in front of him a young woman with her back turned to him.

"Where am I?!" Alissa thought as she looked at the forest in front. A little shaken from what she had experienced, she turned around to see a handsome looking male holding a gun to her head. "Oh my God!" the woman thought as her eye grew wide and her body tensed up. "He's going to kill me!"
