Storm ran at the beast screaming and age old battle cry as she single handedly charged the beast. The beast swung a tentacle it crashed into her, but simply bounced back injuring the beast, but she was unscaved. She leapt into the air gripping her sword with both hands and plunging the sword into the beasts rock like chest. It screamed at a tentacle went to squash her. She pulled her sword from the rock and back flipped barely missing the tentacle. Soon as she hit the ground she swung her sword 360 degrees. She blocked all the tentacles that lunged at her.
" Let her fight it. This is her fight now, we'll only be in the way." Val replied to the others as they regrouped injured and bleeding.
" What the hell." Cid replied dumbfounded.
" She's so…" Tifa trailed off.
" Oh my god." Yuffie replied.
" What is she?" Cloud asked.
" I don't think I wanna know." Tifa replied as they all nodded in agreement. Val's face feel. She had a power just as disturbing power. If they saw it what would they think of her? Silently she slipped off. No one noticed, no one dared look away from the fight.
It was over in an instant. Soon as the creature died I was released from the rage. I could see clearly as the creature busted into flames.
" Urgh. I feel like I have been trampled by a chocobo." I said to myself . I turned around to see everyone in Avalanche staring at me except for Val. I saw the looks on their faces, what they were thinking.
" I'm a fuckin monster. Deal with it." I replied as I walked off.
I found Val sitting lazily on top of the Shinra building. This was her comfort zone of sorts. She looked sad and her eyes had a frosty glaze about them as if she was gonna cry.
" Val?" I aksed.
" What a I going to do? You saw how they reacted to you! What happens when they find out what I can do!? What happened when Cloud finds out!? He'll kill me if he knew I could have saved her and you know it! He said he couldn't live without me but we all know that'll change after he finds out!" she screamed at me tears streaming down her cheeks. About this time Vincent found them, but didn't approach them just listened. He was worried about well both of them.
" Val if he meant what he said then it will change nothing. Once he knows the nature of your powers he won't be angry. Cloud wouldn't have sacrificed someone else for her, nor would she have let him. He might be angry but it will pass. Anger and hate are always fleeting never lasting long unless you offer them your life. Spiky isn't that kind of person." I replied.
" Yeah? How the hell do you know! All of your friends have been crazed psychotic maniacs!" she screamed at me. I laughed.
" I am a Berserker, Val. My very being is fueled by rage. They were my friends because they had faults, but they needed friendship to. Too bad they all faked their deaths and are working for the enemy, huh?" I replied lightly.
" Quit acting like this is all a big fucking joke Storm! Can't you take something serious for once!" Val screamed at me as she wheeled on me.
" Life's to serious to be taken seriously." I replied. Pain exploded threw my cheek where she had smack me.
" Be serious damn it!" she screamed.
" Alright, you want serous you got it. I hate Eric and the others for being traitors. I hate the planet for harboring traitors and letting them live. I hate people for being naïve and trusting people when they are only gonna get burned. I hate people who have a conscience cause I don't. I hate people. I hate life. I hate every fucking thing! But you know what I can't help that I'm programmed that way. The only thing i can feel for are my damn animals! don't think for a minute I don't get frustrated for not being able to value a life. No one should not care when they snuff out a life but I don't, I don't feel a thing. I can't. If I start feeling thing I would be able to handle being a Berserker, my conscience would rip me apart." I snapped back.
" You always say the same thing but we both know your lying to yourself. You feel you just want to admit it cause it reminds you of all the terrible things you have done." she snapped back. I knew she was right. I grinned.
" See Val? You right as usual, your right about most things. But trust me I'm right on this one, kay?" I asked.
" Are your sure?" she asked.
" Sides if he doesn't do what I say I'll go berserk on his ass. He'll think twice about hurting your feelings again." I replied grinning giving her a thumbs up. She grinned back and wiped her tears away.
" Now lets go eat"! I suggested.
" Why?"
" Vincent doesn't think I eat enough." I replied remembering when he commented on my weight.
" Really? He's never seen you eat then. You put away what ten pigs could!" Val retorted.
" What? I like food." I replied as we began descending the stairs.
" No you and food are having a love affair sis." she replied.
" Ssh. The chicken doesn't know I'm cheating on him with ham." I replied gettin a laugh. We had only taken a few steps when Vincent landed in front of us.
" Something wrong Coffin Boy?" I asked.
" I came to check on you two, you were gone quite a while." he replied.
" Thanks Vincent." Val replied.
" Well I got to go. Time to feed my panther." I replied. Throwing a smoke bomb at the ground, I was gone by time the smoke was.
" You think Cloud will hate you for your power?" Vincent asked as he began walking with her.
" Well we all know how much he liked her Vincent. I don't want him to hate me." Val replied.
