The hilarious Cid Highwind makes his grand debut!

Keda's POV

"This place hasn't changed much" I said to everyone as we walked through the Mt. Nibel mountain terrain. Our party consisted of Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, and myself. After having her reunion with my uncle, Mom headed back to Cosmo Canyon. Uncle Vincent turned out to be a shapes shifter like myself and he was an excellent gunman. He seemed impressed I knew how to use a gun as well. Tazith hadn't left my uncle since after learning he was bound to him.

While journeying through the mountain the former Turk asked about my life and what I liked to do, what I did work wise, etc. We found some stuff while going through the caves and afterwards we had something waiting for us at the exit of the Mt. Nibel.

It looked like a dark blue scorpion and it was a good sized monster.

"A Materia Keeper" Sephiroth stated unsheathing Masamune. "These are known to be temperamental so watch out"

The Materia Keeper gave a shriek as though it heard my husband's comment. Uncle Vincent retrieved his gun out and Cloud grabbed his sword. I decided to fight in my wolf form and I undid my swords and Zirenth and placed them on the ground. I shifted from my human form into my wolf state. The Materia Keeper chose to attack Sephiroth since he seemed to ridicule it. My mate got little damage and I was up first to attack.

I ran up to the Materia Keeper and leapt onto it's back. My Limit Break activated and I began to use my claws and fangs to scratch and bite the damn thing. This Limit Break was called Fury Blade and it is a stronger attack than my other two Limit Breaks. The scorpion shrieked in pain and I quickly got off of its back and returned to the others. Vincent shot his weapon before Cloud followed with a swipe of his sword. Materia Keeper walked forward and first attacked Cloud and then Vincent.

Sephiroth used Ice2 and I followed with Bolt2. The scorpion again came forward and used an attack called Big Horn on Vincent. My uncle's Limit Break awoke and I watched as he transformed into Galian Beast. Galian Beast was a purple colored monster that walked on its hind legs. Vincent attacked Materia Keeper with his Berserk Dance. It was similar to Fury Blade only Vincent used his claws to scratch the hell out of our opponent. Furious after being attacked the Materia Keeper came over to Cloud and used Hell Combo on him and then Sephiroth. Cloud simply used Cure to heal himself and my husband used a Hi-Potion. I casted another round of Bolt2 and Vincent used his Beast Flare attack.

The Materia Keeper chose Cloud as its next target and the blonde received another Big Horn assault. Cloud responded by unleashing Cross-Slash and this temporarily paralyzed Materia Keeper. Sephiroth then attacked with his Limit Break. Ice Flower unleashed her flames upon the Masamune and my husband swung his sword forward and a wave of fire hit Materia Keeper. This attack was called Fire Wave. It caused a good amount of damage and I attacked with my own Ice2. Vincent used Beast Flare again and Cloud used his normal sword attack. Materia Keeper looked as though it was getting tired and soon this fight would be over.

Seph got attacked again and he used Masamune to deal some damage to Materia Keeper. The damn thing attacked me again and I responded by using another round of Fury Blade. Vincent used Berserk Dance and afterwards Materia Keeper let out a shriek before finally collapsing. I returned to my human form and Sephiroth approached the monster.

"It's just unconscious" my mate reassured us.

"Well it put up quite a fight" my uncle replied after he reverted to his human form. "I think you angered it earlier"

"Probably" Sephiroth agreed.

"It would be a shame to kill it because it's one hell of a creature" I said eying the unconscious Materia Keeper.

"These things are also very territorial" Seph added. "And it's a good thing we only came across one, it's mating season"

"Now you got me mentally scarred Sephiroth" Cloud complained.

Sephiroth simply shrugged and we headed down the mountain path and out of Mt. Nibel. Sephiroth decided he wanted a break from traveling and Tifa volunteered to take my husband's place. We briefly introduced her to my uncle before we continued on our way. The next town came into sight and a huge rocket came into view. It was leaned over for some reason.

"Ah so this is Rocket Town" Cloud said as we entered the small country town. "That rocket has seen better days"

"Indeed" Tifa agreed.

We then split up to check out the nearby shops. My uncle and I visited the weapon shop and purchased new weapons for everyone except myself and Sephiroth.

"What's that on the end of your weapon?" I asked noticing a charm hanging on the end of his gun.

"It's a charm your mother got for me after I became a Turk" Vicente explained showing the silver charm to me. "It's supposed to be Cerberus"

"The Guardian Dog of the Underworld pretty damn cool" I answered admiring the details of the charm. My uncle smiled and replied.

"I'll find you something similar for you to put on one of your swords or Zirenth"

My cell phone buzzed and it was a text from Cloud telling where to meet him and Tifa. My uncle and I found the blonde and Tifa in someone's backyard eying a plane.

"Damn that's a nice machine" I said eying the plane.

"It's called the Tiny Bronco" Cloud added.

"Duh you can see the name Chocobo Head" Talenth stated. I flashed a warning look at my daughter and she got into a submissive position knowing she better behave herself.

"I wonder if we can borrow it" Tifa suggested.

"We can't steal it without asking the owner" I pointed out.

"She's right" Vincent agreed.

"Um may I help you?"

We all turned to see a woman with a lab coat on with normal clothes underneath. She had brown hair and glasses.

"No were just looking at it" Cloud responded.

"If you would like to use it, please ask the Captain, he should be in the Rocket, I'm Shera and what are your names"

After introducing ourselves Shera informed us that Rufus was coming here and that raised alarm bells. Cloud suggested we find the Captain and ask his permission to borrow the Tiny Bronco. The rocket was really cool up close and when we finally entered the rocket I frowned when I smelled cigarette smoke. I never liked that smell and since I was half wolf it really stunk. A man with light blonde hair was working on something and we got a better look at him when he turned around. He had on a blue long sleeved shirt with green pants and brown boots. He had on brown gloves and he had goggles on top of his forehead.

"What're you guys doin here?"

I smiled because I liked this guy and he had a cute country accent.

"We heard the Captain was here" Cloud replied.

The man suddenly smirked and got into a proud moment pose.

"Captain? I'm the Captain!" he stated with pride. "The name's Cid, everyone calls me Captain though, so what d'ya want?"

We also introduced ourselves to Cid and when he saw Tazith and Talenth he smirked.

"I see my little friends have come to see me"

"Do you have any meat for us?" Tazith demanded.

"Of course little guy I always do" Cid answered.

"I am their mother so I guess you're the one who tends to spoil them from time to time"

"Yeah your kids told me about you, Keda right?" Cid inquired.

I nodded and Cid chuckled.

"We were wondering if we could borrow the Tiny Bronco?" Cloud asked next.

"You out of your f&^$# mjnd?! That's my most cherished possession, I can't let you take it" Cid replied and I burst out laughing. Cid looked to me.

"What's so funny?" he demanded.

"You're f***king hilarious that's what!"

"Ha! I like a woman who swears I like you sweetheart!" Cid laughed. Cid also explained to us about the rocket and how he almost made it into space until Shera claimed to have stopped it. I didn't like it when he called her a dumb ass and if he wasn't careful he would end up getting his ass kicked. But you gotta feel bad for the man who almost made it into space and never would have the chance again.

The four of us headed back to Cid's place and Shera asked how it went with Cid and Cloud simply shook his head. Cid suddenly entered the house and he looked annoyed.

"^% $#! Shera! What are you blind?! We got guests! GET SOME TEA! ^% $#!"

"I'm sorry!" Shera apologized before rushing to start the tea.

"Really don't mind us" Cloud said. Cid looked to him and snapped.,

"Shut up! Sit your ass down in that chair and drink your goddamn TEA!"

Cid then growled.

"Arrrgh! Damn I'm pissed!"

Cid turned to Shera.

"Shera! I'll be in the backyard tunjn up Tiny Bronco!"

Having enough of his damn attitude I stormed over to Cid and kneed him where the sun didn't shine. Cid swore and went to his knees.

"What was that for?" he demanded at me.

"You don't treat a woman like your treating her idiot" I replied. "I suggest going outside to your plane before I end up actually doing worse than what I just did"

"Trust us Cid, she's not playing around" Talenth warned.

"Noted" Cid whined and he struggled out the back door still hurting where I kneed him in the groin.

"Thank you" Shera said and we turned to her.

"I'm sure he's a good guy but he needs to treat you better" I told her firmly.

"Agreed" Vincent added.

"What happened? With the ship and all?" Cloud asked.

Shera told us the story and the launch almost happened except an oxygen tank wasn't safe and Shera had been in the middle of fixing it. By the time the rocket launched she would die but Cid couldn't bear the thought of having someone die because of his selfishness so he stopped the launch.

"He saved your life" Tifa told her.

"Yeah I know but still it's because of me his dream of going into space didn't come true" Shera answered sighing.

"Don't worry about him" I reassured her. "If he continues to be a hard ass I'll kick his"

That comment got everyone to laugh and Cid came back in. He shot Shera a look which earned a death glare from me. The Captain nervously went to sit in a chair and he sighed. Suddenly the fat guy from Shinra Headquarters entered the house. He greeted Cid like an old friend and Cid went over to him asking if the space program was going to be started again. Fatty told him Rufus was outside and Cid rushed past him. He then noticed Shera making him tea and he went over to her.

Curious to why Rufus was here we went outside and Cid was not happy. Apparently Rufus wanted to borrow the Tiny Bronco like we originally wanted to and find Jenova. Suddenly Shera asked us to come inside and we did. She told us that Palmer aka Fatty was planning on taking the Tiny Bronco. Immediately we went outside to find Palmer on the nose of the plane.

"We'll be taking Tiny Bronco" Cloud said to Fatty simply.

Palmer at first didn't recognize us and when he did called for back up but the fight was on. Fatty used his Mako Gun to fire an attack on Tifa first. She was the first to attack and she gave Palmer a good clocking. My uncle fired a single shot followed by Cloud attacking with his sword. I used Ice2 on Palmer and the fat bastard used his gun on Cloud. Cloud again repeated his same attack method and Vincent did the same. Palmer chuckled and turned around smacking his butt to taunt us.

Seriously? This guy was acting like a damn kid!

When it was turn to attack I used my swords to teach Fatty a lesson because he didn't know who he was messing with. Palmer decided to attack me with Mako Gun and it was enough to get my Limit Break to activate. But instead I let Tifa use hers and she gave Palmer a good deal of damage. Cloud and Vincent made their attacks and Palmer attacked my uncle next. I activated my Limit Break and used Inferno on Palmer.

Cloud casted Bolt2 and the blonde was targeted by another round of Mako Gun. Tifa gave Palmer another turn with her fists and Cloud used Climhazzard. Palmer laughed like an idiot and the Tiny Bronco suddenly began to move. I guess Fatty turned the engine on before the fight. Upon realizing the plane was moving Palmer panicked and ducked as the left wing over his head. He wiped his head in relief and taunted us before turning around and started to run away.

We all winced when he got hit by a Shinra truck.

"That had to hurt" I muttered to my uncle who agreed. Realizing the plane was about to take off we all got onto it and held on as the small plane began to lift off the ground. The plane flew out of the yard and went past the rocket. It lowered itself over Rufus and Cid took off after as some infantrymen began to fire rounds at us.

"Go!" I called to Tazith and Talenth. Both dragons siblings took flight and flew towards the infantrymen and they hissed out flames at them. The Shinra lackeys yelped as their uniforms caught fire and they ran around in circles trying to put the flames out. Rufus face palmed which was damn funny. Cid managed to climb on to the plane and the tail of the plane was hit thanks to those blue dressed bastards.

"Shit!" Cid exclaimed.

"Emergency landing" Cloud joked and he yelped a second later due to Tifa smacking his head. The Tiny Bronco glided over the water and a big splash later we were floating in the middle of the ocean. Since we stood up to Shinra it impressed Cid and he decided to join us to stop Jenova. Before we moved onward Tazith and Talenth found us and we chose to pilot the plane to the nearest shoreline. According to Cid, Rufus was interested in the Temple of Ancients and Cloud thought it was a good idea to find out more information about this temple before we decided what to do next.
