dragonelf 8: Yay! I'm full of much glee and happiness, and I don't even know why! You see this is how simple minded I am.
Blackwingedangel70: I'm glad you like Luna. I guess in a sense she's a little like Vivi in FFIX. She has a stubborn streak a mile wide and when anger she can seriously be ticked.
Tolea: I've done later, though I don't understand why I'm not used to it yet. Sure, you just have to give me a detailed description, including race, cause I put demons in the story, and other such fairy tale creature, though they won't come out tell later. LUCKY… You have a Game-boy SP I have the antique version, but my ani let me sample Chain of Memories on his SP, I loved it. Then he kicked me off. -.-
Kyuuka-Kyubi: Glad you like it. I hope I doing a good job with the story and that it's getting more interesting.
Chapter 4: Sector 8.
'Why on earth did I have to wake myself up early in the morning,' thought Luna as she complained in her head, yawning every once in while. Luna was exhausted cause of the fact that she had a major battle with Mistress Centipede last night, and to waking early. She looked down on her train ticket she had purchased that every same day. It had and any interesting picture of Luna in her sleepily self. In other words her eyes were closed and drool was creeping to the corners of her mouth. 'What a horrible picture, the photographer was even laughing at me,' thought Luna miserably as she stuffed the picture way in her pocket. 'Note to self burn it later.'
'Shuffffft.'
Looking up to the door, there in the door way stood Cloud. Luna gasps, and quickly ducked to a hiding spot, which was where the entrance doors were. Luna quietly looked around from behind the seats. Cloud looked around at the trolley looking like mess-with- me-you-get-the-sword-between-the-eyebrows. Cloud began to walk forward but was quickly jerked back. Luna couldn't help but giggle as Clouds huge sword, which was resting comfortable on his back, got stuck in the doorway by the hilt. Cloud quickly fixed the sword so it was exactly parallel with his body. Luna quickly to her chances and ran to the cargo trolley, hiding way between two bags. 'Well I guess it's safe to say I made it on time,' thought Luna.
'Sccrreeeeeeeeccccccccccchhhhhhhhhh!'
Luna fell forward as she felt the train come to complete stop. She watched form the cargo trolley jumped out the window to the top of the train. Waiting a few seconds she finally went out of the cargo trolley dusting herself off. Luna finally walked out of the door see two dead red Shinra soldiers on the ground as small crowd gathered around them. "Gross," mutter Luna sticking her tongue out in disgust.
Looking up she saw the huge reactor shown proudly with spotlights by Shinra, cables glowed light green as it connected with Shinra's main building. Luna remained silent for a while watching the building.
"Excuse me? What happened here?"
Luna turn to the sweet voice, she could feel her eyes going wide she looked at the older woman in front of her. Aeris was looking at the crowd curiously, but not wanting to get caught in it she stayed back. The scene of the dead bodies was one that wanted Luna to say the least vomit. 'Ew,' thought Luna holding down her lunch. Slowly Luna turned Aeris's curious face.
"Apparently there was a hit and run fight going on," explained Luna, smile a little.
"Oh. I see," muttered Aeris a sad expression on her face.
Luna couldn't help but frown as we'll as she slowly began to walk away.
"Wait miss!" called Aeris as she quickly turned around, a walked up to Luna. "Would you like a flower they're only a gil?"
Luna looked down on the basket full of multi colored blossoms. 'She has a lot of flowers. I guess sales must be hard,' thought Luna as she four beautiful flowers form the basket, a bright blue bell, a yellow daisy, a red petunia, and a pure white lunar flower. Luna smiled as the girl looked confused as she took Aeris's hand and placed some money in it.
"Flowers are hard to find here in a city like this, but I guess if you look hard enough then you can find one," whispered Luna to herself, Aeris looked curiously at Luna. "The flowers are very beautiful, and they certainly brighten things up around here. That should be enough to pay for them, thank you!"
Aeris looked down at the palm of her hand to see the gil resting comfortable in her hand, as Luna walked away.
"Miss you've given me too much," called Aeris again but the alley way was completely empty.
Luna walked around sector 8 humming a little as went looking down on the beautiful flowers in her hand. 'Hey I picked a lunar flower, weird. It matches my name,' thought Luna as she put the many petaled flower behind her ear.
While looking through the different part of sector 8, Luna could say that day, other than Cloud's presence was extremely vapid day. 'I got time to kill before I help Cloud but what heck should I do, and if I do it I get all paranoid about missing Cloud,' thought Luna as she sat down on a bench.
"DEMON!"
Luna looked up to see the most unlikely trio to show up in all of FFVII world. She instantly froze at the sight of three boys two holding the third whom had a huge sword in his hand, trying to chase a pair of gangsters. One of the boys had long blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing a long blue coat, white slacks, white knee high boots, and blue tunic, he was holding back his friend form hurting the poor victim. The other one holding his friend back had green hair, green eyes, scar all over his body a large one on his face, a brown shirt with gloves, and blue pants with black boots. The last that was struggling against his friends grip had Black hair with a white strike in the bangs, and blood red eyes, black pants, trench coat, gloves, and red shirt. They were none other than the Dragon Knights Rath, Rune, and Thatz.
"RUNE, THATZ YOU HAVE TO LET ME GO! I WANNA KILL THE DEMON!" yelled Rath, referring to the red spike haired punk in front of him.
"Rath you baka that's a human!" yelled Rune.
"I know Thatz is a human," said Rath.
"Wrong that's," said Thatz tugging harder. "Rune why don't we just let him go, I'm sure this guy can run faster than Rath."
"And lose Rath in, what ever the heck this place is called, city!"
Luna couldn't take it anymore she instantly sprung up, ran to the trio grabbed each of there hands and ran for all she was worth, dragging the knights behind her. Finally she found an empty alleyway and stopped to catch her breath. The knights stared at the strange girl.
"Demon?" asked Rath innocently.
"I'm not a demon. There is no such things as demons in this world only monsters, well there used to be no demons," answered Luna getting up and looking at the three. " If you brought any more attention to yourselves Shinra would have to get solider to detain you. And trust me you don't want that."
"Do you know where we are?" asked Rune pleadingly.
"Hold on a second. Kai get down here NOW!" yelled Luna.
"Right here."
Luna turned around to see the blue haired man sitting on one of the crates, wearing the same armor he did last time. A Bowl of steaming hot ramen was in his hand as Kai slurped up the noodles.
"You called?" asked Kai still munching on the noodles.
"I take this as another one of your gifts," said Luna testily.
"You got it. I figured you needed another challenge so I summoned them here," slurped Kai nosily.
"I just got one form you yesterday! Do you realize how vulnerable I was! I was sleeping! And now you send the Dragon Knights just before I'm going to have a battle with the Shinra Soldiers! YOU JERK WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH THEM!"
"Chill, the rector 8 bombing isn't going to happen now, you've got time to spare. Rune and Thatz right," asked Kai looking at the two boys.
"Yes," said the two in unison looking confused and surprised.
"Your friend Rath is getting away," said Kai pointing with his chopsticks as the sneaking away boy. Rath instantly froze as Rune and Thatz pounced on him, tying him with a rope and dragging him back to hear the rest of the conversation.
"So what am I supposed to do," asked Luna.
"Talk with them, while bringing them to the check point," answered Kai simply.
"Check point? Okay what's going?" demanded Thatz.
"Okay. I was kidnapped to be lunch for some demons while I was away with my family on a family outing. Kai here sort of saved me, in a mean jerk-ish way. He sent me here on, what I like to call while I'm in this world, Gaia VII. More widely known as in my world as Final Fantasy VII to get stronger. Right now we are in sector 8 of a city called Midgar. Kai sent you here to give me another task to help make me stronger. Now Kai, you tell me what's this check point about?" asked Luna turning to Kai again.
"It simple really you have to be their bodyguard until you reach the checkpoint, which is were they can go home. The checkpoints right next to were Cloud jumps off the bridge onto the train," concluded Kai.
"Knowing you it not going to simple, and you'll end up shoving tons of monster in my face, were I'll have major injuries like yesterday. And I won't be able to help Cloud in any way shape or form," accused Luna.
"No you can lay back a little bit and even buy them a meal, and I'll give you something special at the end, and you'll only come across a few monster. You have my word," said Kai.
"Fine. Considering you'll end up making me do it in one way or another," answered Luna.
"You got and trust me the over ways would have been a whole lot more painful. See you later," said Kai as he disappeared.
"I guess I'm your bodyguard until we reach the check point," said Luna as she turned around.
"I guess so were pretty much helpless if we're in another world we know nothing," answered Rune letting Rath go. "This must have been how Ryu felt when she first came to our world."
"So you know Ryu Kami, she's been with you huh? Don't I think that's how everyone feels like when they get summoned to another world. It's not something that sits well at first but after some time you get used to it. By the way my names Luna Star, I'm form the same world as Ryu and all the other missing kids."
"I'm Rune, this is Thatz, and Rath. Were you friends of Ryu's?"
"No. I heard about her through the papers it cause quiet and upset along with all the other disappearances. I live in another state than her. There's a bar close by I can get you something since we have time to spare," said Luna walking out of the alley.
"So great!" piped in Rath and Thatz.
Luna turned to see drool literally flow down Thatz's mouth as her looked at her pleading for a meal. 'I hope I have enough gil for this,' thought Luna remembering the black hole that replaced Thatz's stomach.
"She walked into the closed bar, sat down at one of the tables and order her meal, the others ordered too. When the food came by she watched in amazement as Thatz and Rath scrafed down the food, with absolutely no manners.
"They embarrasses you all the time don't they," asked Luna to Rune.
"You have know I idea," answered Rune hiding away as he quietly ate his salad.
"So what's this Shinra you were mentioning earlier. Are they demons," asked Rath his attention on Luna as he pulled on a huge piece of steak.
"Demons aren't supposed to exist here. And no they aren't no matter much their personalities match."
The trio looked up at Luna eyes wide with shock. Luna just looked down at her food.
"You see the huge structure outside that window," said Luna pointing out the window, the knights looked and nodded. "Shinra owns that. They're a huge monopolized company, and they're killing everyone on this plant slowly."
"What do you mean," asked Thatz nervously.
"They're stealing the planet's life force with those reactors, weakening the life cycle here and causing a large a mount of pollution to everyone weather they realized it or not. Shinra makes out to the world as a protector, when in truth if they don't get what they want they'll send the Turks to cause a massacre and make it seem like monsters did it when in truth it was they. But the people only see the glory of Shinra, in other words SOLIDER, which is why many people work for Shinra. Only those who've suffered by Shinra know the truth. People down here in the slums."
"Why don't you rebel," asked Rune.
"We do, it's just that, if you rebel than Shinra will send their Soldiers to remove the problem and they won't just kill you, they'll kill those that are your family and friends and try to erase your existence completely leaving no trace. Beside they'll get their own someday soon. I sure they didn't mean bad intentions at first, it's just power corrupts people every easily, and they sometimes use that power to show they can. That's just the way people live sometimes. I've been known to do it sometimes to," said Luna finishing her meal.
"I see they're human but they act like demons," replied Rath finishing his own meal off.
"That's right. But sometime if they think your fit and worth it, they'll take you to their science labs and use you as a test subject. They'll infuse you with a monster name Jenova's blood cells, then place materia in your back sometimes, then fuse you with the planets energy, which is sometimes called Mako energy. If you show signs that you can't take it they'll turn you into a brainless monster."
Rath instantly stopped eating and put down the last little, an angry expression consumed his enter being.
"Isn't someone doing something about it!"
"There are many, Rath," said Luna she then moved forward and whispered. " In fact a rebel union is in that reactor right now, they're called AVALANCHE and if we don't want to get caught in the debris than we better get moving before they blow that place sky high."
"I see, then we better hurry," answered Rune finishing his meal and getting ready to leave.
Luna quickly finished and went up to the counter and paid the meal. Thatz looked at the moneybag curiously. Then looked at Luna.
"Was that the money of this world," he asked as they walked out of the bar and down the road.
"Yep. You can either work for it or fight monster, you can normally find money and sometimes potions on them. All of the money I have now is what I earned for fight the monsters," answered Luna.
"What are these monsters like?" asked Rath walking beside Luna.
"You'll see. Ones coming this way," said Luna pointing in one direction and pulling out Tetsusaiga form it's sheath.
The monster had quick worked its way to Luna and the group. The knights instantly got out their swords.
"Hey your fight. This is my job, I won't be much of a bodyguard if I let you fight," said Luna stepping forward.
"But--?"
"It's okay I'll take care of it."
The monster was those caterpillar bugs, things, it quickly tried to head but Luna but she dodged. Using her sword Luna thrusted it into the caterpillar's side as it continued forward, a huge deep blood cut appeared on the monsters side. It rolled in a ball and attack Luna again the spikes on it's back shined as it moved forward. Luna jumped over it easily just as the caterpillar switch directions and moved backwards putting one of its spikes deep into Luna's calf.
"Ugh!" muttered Luna as she looked at the wound, but quickly looked back up as the monster attacked again. Luna dodge again but this time sloppier as pain told her to stop. The monster attacked again but Luna didn't move the sound of sword clashing against spikes surrounded the area. Luna pushed the caterpillar back and ran forward cleaving it in half. Luna stood up and watched the monster turn to dust, and limping slightly she cleared away some of the dust to find an antidote and a little bit of gil. Luna picked up the gil and antidote and put them away.
"Are you okay?"
Luna looked up to see Rune and the other knights beside him looking down on Luna. Luna looked down at the spike that was still in her leg, darn it hurt. Luna clenched her teeth and pulled the dreadful thing throwing it at a scrape of metal. She was about to apply a potion when Rune knelt down and used his elf magic to heal the wound. Luna could feel renewed energy from her leg as the wound completely sealed.
"Oh wow! You've got to show me how to do that next we see each other!" exclaimed Luna.
"You looked like you had something to take care of it though," answered Thatz.
"We yeah. I have potions that seal the wound and clean it, but the wound still feels a little sore after it though, never feels this good," answered Luna pulling out a potion and handing it to Rath.
After while walking and defeating a few monsters Luna finally got to the checkpoint. The only problem was when they reached it and boss monster was guarding the portal and to add more to the problem there was a huge explosion from the reactor 8. 'Ah great you had to add a boss didn't you! Ah man Cloud's finished with the bombing that means I've probably got 5-10 min. to be this guy,' thought Luna as she took her fighting stance Tetsusaiga held firmly. The monster was like a raptor only a mane was up the ridge of its neck like a horse. The Monster jumped in the air bringing down it foot with a large claw on it. Luna jumped back but the Boss lunged it head forward and snapped it's jaws around Luna's arm. Luna could feel the blood gush out of her arm, she began focusing on her magic and she could feel flames burst around her. The raptor jumped back and screeched in pain, a huge scorch mark appeared on its high leg. Luna gasped heavily as she backed away, she still wasn't used to her magic quite yet. Luna rushed forward and began attacking the boss in a multitude of attacks from Tetsusaiga. It wasn't until she did the finishing move by slashing Tetsusaiga horizontally cutting the raptors head off did the battle end.
A huge void appeared right in front of the group on the other side in the void was a beautiful landscape filled with trees, flowers, and a small town in the distant.
"I guess that's our ride back home," said Thatz looking at the giant hole.
"Yep. I guess we better get home," said Rath as he and Thatz walked up to the portal waiting for Rune. Rune tended to Luna's wounds.
"Hold on a sec," said Luna when Rune finished.
Luna began fishing through her pockets and brought out all of the flowers. She gave the Dragon Knights each a flower in there own respective colors. Finally she handed the Lunar flower to Rune.
"Flowers are really rare here so please treasure them, and give this one to Ryu. Tell her that Luna Star, who's form another world like her, can't wait to meet her at some point," said Luna.
"We'll deliver the message," said Rune smiling as he walked through the portal with the others. Luna smiled as she watched them go home. Luna looked up to see a small red orb float down into her palm. 'Huh? It summon material, but I can't use summon I don't even know how. What the heck is Kai planning,' thought Luna as looking at the strange then placed it in her bangle.
"STOP HIM!"
'OH YEAH! I FORGOT CLOUD!' thought Luna as she turned around the bend. There stood Cloud his buster sword pointed at the Shinra Soldiers, who had encircled him. Luna rushed forward.
"Ganging up on people is wrong especial when that person's by himself," scolded Luna as she slashed through one of shinra's soldiers.
The soldiers directed their attention to Luna as she began fight harder, luckily she had the element of surprise on her side for the time being. Cloud not wasting anymore time also began fighting, but no matter how many solider they took down more would come as a replacement. Luna bumped into Cloud's back as he, her.
"Who are you?" he asked randomly.
"Just no one that decided to help," answered Luna.
Cloud looked at the girl her voice brought back a small tinge in the back of his mind. Cloud's head was trying to say something but it wasn't work. He looked down on the girl for the first time. She looked no older than 18.
"You trying to catch the train," asked Luna slightly.
"Yeah," said Cloud gaining his composure back.
"Well than here you go," said Luna as she pushed Cloud off the bridge onto the train. Cloud easily land and watch as Luna duked it out with Shinra's soldiers. When Luna was certain Cloud could no longer see her and was no longer in harms way, Luna sliced through one of the soldiers and ran for what she was worth to the other way to sector 7. The soldiers began to follow but when Luna found different ways to get rid of them she was able to get them off her trail though she still ran. 'That's it for Sector 8. Tomorrow I'll go to sector 5, and this time I'll have no choice than to be in the reactor.' thought Luna as she ran to her train trolley.
