Chapter eight: Hope and The Battle begins

Somewhere in the skies…

Zack could feel himself falling endlessly…

He opened his eyes and the helicopter become

smaller and smaller as he got closer and closer to

the earth.

" Don't give up…" Tifa voice's said to him.

Zack eyes shot open and his face turned serious…

He was still falling , seeing the ground far below,

spinning, Till…

FHOOOOSSSSHHHH…

A single white wing appeared on the right side of

his back.

Zack then saw his mother's gloved hand phased

through the sky, handing his sword.

He smiled and took it.

Stopping in mid air he flapped his wing and went

upwards, farther and farther away from the ground

below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The WRO

Laura ran with her mother and sister.

Then…

BANG!

" LAURA!!!" Yuffie screamed as Laura held her

wounded arm with her robotic one.

" Mom give me Cerberus and both of you

get going!" She ordered .

Yuffie looked at her and handed her the gun then

she pulled Luna away to safety…

Laura turned to the soldiers behind her.

Then took aim, soon she began shooting unaware

that more soldiers appeared as she shot the other

ones.

Fortunately Lionel was there and handle the others

soldiers.

She looked at him as he smirked and gave a

thumps up.

Laura nodded in thanks and continued attacking.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the roof of the WRO…

Joey landed the plane quickly and the others wasted

no time to get ready for battle.

Everyone grabbed their weapons and kept their

guard up.

Soon they decided to spilt up.

Raiha was with Jasmine, and Rude was with

Denzel.

Joey got in the helicopter.

" I'm gonna find som' help then I'll meet with ya

guys later." He said starting the propeller.

" Wait! Wait for us!" Yuffie shouted as Luna

limped behind her.

Jasmine looked at them.

" Take them and go." She ordered him.

He nodded and opened the door to the entrance.

" Get in alright!" He shouted.

Yuffie and Luna rushed in the air craft, then looked

down as they ascended into the sky

and as Jasmine ran inside the building.

Once again she folded her hands and prayed for

everyone's safety… Especially Jasmine's and

Laura's.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back inside…

" Shelke I need a full report of the intruders in the

building!" Laura ordered through the communicator .

BBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ……

" Shelke please response!"

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…. CRACK! BZZZZZZZZZZ….

She placed communicator back in the utility belt (

the one she took in the soldier's wing)

" I'm afraid she's stepped out of the moment. Now

come with me I can lead you to where your

friends." The cloaked figure said to her.

She looked at him with distrust as her mind fought

with her instincts.

She sighed choosing to trust her instincts Laura ran

and followed with this person.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere in Wutai

CRRRRAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHH!!!

" Look out!" Skye shouted as he covered a little girl

who happened to past by when a plane knocked

down a building.

Skye watched as thirty soldier like people came out

and started to cause havoc with their shooting and

slashing.

He prepared his fighting gloves and ran towards

them ready to fight.

FWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH

Skye felt someone lift him up and within minutes

he was at least sixty feet above the ground.

He looked up and saw a one winged Zack flying .

" What?" He gasped.

" Just hang on tight." Zack ordered him.

" We're heading to Rocket Town."

Skye looked up at him as they flew across Wutai

and across the ocean to Rocket Town.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with in the WRO headquarters…

Jasmine spilt up the remaining people they had into

two teams.

Rude would go with her , Raiha with Denzel…

Raiha looked at Jasmine and wished her luck.

Jasmine nodded and left quickly with Rude.

Then gunshots were heard in the corner.

" Laura!" Jasmine called.

" I'm in the corner Jasmine." Laura answered back.

Jasmine ran to where she was and kneel down

beside her.

" Where's Vincent, Laura?" She asked her.

Laura sighed and closed her eyes, guessing that

Jasmine has probably heard the news.

" He's in the west wing, Jasmine…" Laura

announced .

" Take me to him." She ordered her.

Laura didn't argue this time, she stood up and lead

her to where her father's body was.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere near Rocket town…

Skye looked down and pointed.

" Zack, there!"

Zack nodded and swooshed in.

Soon they landed and he put Skye down on the

ground.

Then walked the door and knocked. Then Shera

opened it and was surprised to see him, after all

these years.

" Zack!" She hugged him.

" I thought we'd never see you again… I was so

worried…" She included.

" Cid! Look whose here!"

Minutes later the familiar pilot stepped out and was

bewildered seeing him again.

Cid walked up to him and gave him a punch. Then

wrapping his left arm around his neck, Cid used his

right one to give him noogie on the head.

" Where'd have ya been! Do you know how long

we've been searchin' for ya!!?"

" Uncle Cid! Stop!" Skye begged.

" Cid you're killing him!" Shera exclaimed.

Cid let go and mumbled in annoyance.

Finally he sighs.

" Well what are ya doing here? I thought that you'd

made it clear about not coming back."

Zack sighed while rubbing his head.

" Look I-- no we need help. Sephiroth's back for

a vengeance and Vincent's dead… Jasmine and

Laura might be in trouble…"

Cid turned his back on them.

" Please Uncle Cid, how much more blood needs to

be spilled before you join us, think about the world,

think about the people that might die, think about

your kids, Ferria, Rhena, and Joey… They might be

in trouble too…" He reminded them.

" If you're not gonna do it for me then at least do

it for my dad and everyone else that you cared

for…"

Cid groaned and turned around.

" Dog gone it! You really got me there Zack!

You're too much like your father ya know, may

whoever is up there! Bless his damn soul!!"

Shera gasped and smack his head, reminding him

that there's a child present.

Cid rubbed his head and tried to ignore her for the

time being.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An hour later on the Shera.

A now adult Marlene walked over to the two boys,

after being picked up an half an hour ago.

" So is everything alright?" She asked.

" We don't know , but this is going to be another

big battle and I hope that no will die this time."

Zack answered.

She looked at him, Zack sighed, forgetting that he

hasn't told her his I.D yet.

" So how are you involved?"

" Let's just say I have a old score to settle with

Sephiroth…"

She was shocked and looked at his eyes.

He nodded.
