Once inside, she looked around. Just a simple shop nothing more. She soon left as her business there was completed. She headed back outside, this time being careful not to trip over Nanaki. She walked to the edge of town and stared at the dusty hardness of the canyon for but a moment before continuing on. She spent the next few hours thinking of how she would defeat the dragon in Nibelheim. Maybe it would be an easy battle. Who knew, but she must travel to it under the guise of darkness, so as not to worry Sephiroth, who really was worrying at this time.

That night Sephiroth sat staring out of the window of the Inn he was staying in. he wasn't sure if he wanted to finish his mission and find the Materia Keeper. That would mean that he would have to go back to Midgar. With Mecha or without her. He sighed and lay down. Mecha sure was taking her time getting there.

"Where are you Mecha?"

Not too far away Mecha was sleeping in a Desert Buggy that was still driving across the plains of Nibelheim. She would be there long before dawn now to complete the mission parameters and wait for Sephiroth. Her sleep was plagued by nightmares of Sephiroth fighting and dying. She would emit a whine every now and again, because she couldn't dare lose a friend, or a comrade in battle.

The next morning about 4 hours before dawn, Mecha climbed out of the car and entered Nibelheim. She slowly walked through the town and towards the path to Mount Nibel. She paused in the center of town and stared at the Inn. A sigh escaped her as she saw his silhouette upon the window shade.

"I'll be around here soon Sephiroth… soon as the dragon is dead…" she turned back towards the path and headed up it.

The very next morning she was napping in a tree when Sephiroth passed. He sighed loudly and she heard him talking to himself. She hopped from the tree her hair flying up, until she hit the ground, whereas it spilled over her back and shoulders. She stood upright as he turned around.

"Who are you?" he sounded very angry about something.

"Calm down…" she said straitening up, "I told you I meet you in Nibelheim didn't I?" Sephiroth raised an eyebrow. She stood silently pulling her hair up on her head, the very way he had met her on the docks of Junon. Then she tied the red cloth about her head and donned her cloak as well.

"Well," he began sounding much calmer, "what do you want?"

"My mission of course Sephiroth." Sephiroth turned from her and walked off up the path.

"You betrayed me."

Mecha stood there confused and feeling very betrayed herself. Then she continued up the path slowly.

Weeks passed before they saw each other again. Mecha looking very sad and upset, Sephiroth angry and hating. She had tried to apologize, but it was of no avail. Sephiroth wasn't speaking to her. Once they were in Midgar she tried again.

"Sephiroth-" She began once more. Sephiroth turned a fierce glare upon her once more, the one that usually ended up cutting her off, but this time she continued "-I'm sorry." With that she ran into Midgar tearfully.
