NA: Hoshi ni Negai o

"Hiro today is the day.." said Tiamatt. Hiro nodded, wearing new clothes. He wore a black shirt with the symbol of the rebellion, two swords and a hand. He wore jeans, and black tennis shoes.

"Yea. Today is the day we finally get revenge. But what happen to the passengers?" asked Hiro, confused.

"Oh, you were asleep, we dropped them off in Wutai." said Tiamatt. She noticed the young man having a annoyed look on his face.

"I'm never informed of anything, am I?" Hiro muttered, while Tiamatt laughed a bit. Hiro sighed in annoyance, then changed the subject.

"Tiamatt put your hair down, that bun is getting old. And I think Kaza has some new clothing instead of that suit." said Hiro pointing at her clothes.

"Yea, I guess I should go change clothes..just for today." said Tiamatt, looking at her clothing.

"What about-"

"Don't worry, their with Kaza, I guess getting their new clothing." said Tiamatt. She walked out of the room, to get her new clothing. Hiro sat on the bed, and looked at his blade. It was rusted, possibly because of all the training he has done with it. He sighed, but all of a sudden someone put a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Kaza, holding two blades, Mirs and another blade.

"Kaza aren't you suppose to be handing out new-"

"No, I got Dr. Dexel to do that now. I wanted to talk to you." Hiro nodded as Kaza sat beside him, and laughed. "Your father told me something when we found out that Lorrile was pregnant, he asked me to be the uncle." said Kaza, smiling at the memory. "He whined that you would grow up not knowing what it was like, and I'm the closest thing to a brother he ever had."

Hiro smiled. "Yea, you have been like my uncle.." said Hiro, looking Kaza, whom had his hands together, looking down at the ground.

"And since then, the first time I met you, I wanted to tell you something." said Kaza, looking at him. Hiro noticed a serious look on his face. "If I die in this battle, I want you to have all of those weapons in my room. I hid them somewhere safe." said Kaza, looking at Hiro, who was shocked.

"You may also have this sword." Kaza explained, showing him Mirs.

"Seriously?"

Kaza nodded. "Yes Hiro. I might want to tell you it's powers..and something else that I want to tell you." said Kaza, closing his eyes.

"Yes?" Hiro asked.

"I want you and your friends to go visit the Ancient City, hold out Spirtus to the lake. Understood?" said Kaza, standing up.

"Okay." said Hiro nodding.

"Now, we are closing in on the Orude, only a hour away." Kaza walked out of the room.

"HEY WAIT! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THE POWERS!" However, he was out of earshot. Hiro sighed, scratching his head. "Ah well..."

Kadaj, Yazoo, Loz, Ara, and Kadai were all in their old leather suits, but they have the white symbol on their backs. Tiamatt wore her old clothes she wore a long time ago, but with a red version of the symbol on her back. Kaza stood among them.

"Now listen..this may cause death. I am counting on you seven to take them down easily then all the others. I will split you up in groups, and then we will meet near the room of Katzuna, or where ever he is hiding." said Kaza, explaining while his eyes close.

"But how will we know where he is?" asked Kadai.

"Simple, Reeve has placed Cait Sith within the ship, and he knows where he is." Hiro smirked, and a good smirk. Reeve was working like a spy, in the old days.

"Alright...now the groups. Yazoo, Loz, Kos, and I will be in one group. Hiro, Ara, Kadaj, Kadai, and Tiamatt in another. I will be the leader in my group and Hiro the other group." They all nodded, but Hiro looked down.

"Hiro what is it?"

"I kinda need a sword.." Everyone just sighed in annoyance.

"Just like your father..." Kaza laughed, while Hiro just glared at his uncle.

"Tch, whatever, can I just have a weapon please?"

Kaza threw him a sword, a crystal blade. Hiro looked at it in shock."Wait? How in the heck did you get this? I threw it away years ago!" said Hiro. This was the blade he used against Tiamatt seven years ago in the final round in the tournament.

"It returned to me, this was originally the blade your father left me, which I lent to you when you were 13, but it was the Doctor that had the idea." said Kaza.

"By the way, where is the Doctor?" asked Tiamatt.

"Oh, he is with the children in Wutai. He is living with a old friend of his."

"Now some of you might die during this battle.." Kaza began, but was cut off by Hiro.

"No they won't." said Hiro.

"Why?" asked Kaza.

"I will protect them all from death, I refuse to let my friends die!" said Hiro.

Kaza laughed. Everyone else just looked at Hiro, but not Tiamatt, who knew Hiro was going to say something. She looked at Kaza instead, then noticed something. Kaza was crying, probably because he was proud of Hiro. However, she kept it to herself.

"You are the son of Razen alright. Now, Hiro's Team get to the deck."

Hiro was walking until someone grabbed his shoulder. He turned to see Yazoo, looking a bit worried.

"Hiro..keep me a promise." Hiro looked at him, wondering what he meant. "Please, whatever you do, do not let Kadai die.." Hiro smiled, knowing that he must of loved her.

"Of course, I promise Yazoo."

oN tHe DeCk

"Look! It is the Orude!" screamed a voice. The Orude was far away, since the RL was hidden in the clouds. Hiro took out some binoculars and looked through..

"Oh..my...god..."

"What is it Hiro?"

"THEY ARE HAVING THE WEDDING!" Tiamatt grabbed the binoculars and looked through.

It was true, Yuffie wasn't out there yet, but Hiro knew it was going on since the flower girl was walkiing around and Damen in a suit. The guests were sitting down, waiting. "Okay, on the count of three, I want you to fire the hooks."

"Hiro! I can't go across a chain!" said Ara.

"Let Kadaj carry you! The Orude is in our grasp, I'm not going to lose it." Hiro muttered, as he held up his hand. He put up three fingers, and began the countdown.

"1"

"2"

"3!'

The hooks fired out from the side, and hooked on to the Orude. Everyone gasped, screamed. Panic spread around the ship, people running around, while Cloud held his hand to his ear. "Operation begins now." Cloud and the whole Avalanche gang took out there weapons, and split across the ship.

bAtTlE

Hiro ran across first, and landed on the ship. He took out his sword and clashed with a WRO soilder, who was knocked down in a instant. Hiro stood there, sword on his shoulder, smirking.

"Am I late? The bride hasn't come out yet." The others joined him quickly, weapons drawn. Kadaj and his sword, Ara with her gun, and Kadai with her guns. Tiamatt also had her's out, but was more serious then the others.

"Alright, look! We have company!" said Kadaj, pointing at a brigade of soilders.

"Alright! Take them out!" Hiro charged and started to slash all of them, while Tiamatt stood back casting spells as Kadai and Ara started to shoot. Kadaj had the other side, and started to attack them, ending their lives quickly.

"Hiro, Ara, Kadaj, Tiamatt! Go ahead! I will take the rest of them down!" said Kadai, taking out a sword.

"Kadai, are you sure?" asked Ara.

"YES! GO!" But Hiro secretly casted a powerful spell, Death, on most of them.

Hiro and the others started to run around the ship and cut them all to pieces. When they reached a part of the ship, the wedding was not going on, Damen was gone, and Cloud and the others were gone as well.

"Dammit! We missed our chance!" said Tiamatt. But Hiro just thought. Hiro then cut the floor of the ship, causing a big hole.

"Ara and Kadaj, stay up here and wait for Kadai, or go fetch her, Tiamatt and I will locate Avalanche!" said Hiro as he jumped into the hole, Tiamatt following.

As they walked around the ship, killing soldiers in there way. Finally, after a while of running around, they saw the whole Avalanche gang, with Damen and Yuffie. They quickly hid and stood against a wall. Out of sight, the two began to listen to their conversation.

"We have to call out the wedding, we are being attacked."

"NO! We will have the marriage now!"

Yuffie looked down, still having second thoughts. Tifa noticed, but couldn't say a word to them about it. Cloud sighed, looking at Damen, who gave him a warning look.

"Alright, but does anyone have any objections?" asked Cloud, looking into Damen's cold eyes. Something was different about the man. He was no longer the fun Damen they knew, he was now cold, serious.

"Yea, I do." said Hiro, stepping out of the shadows. He removed his sword, looking at the group he once called his friends, his comrades.

"So you finally show up..." said Cloud, revealing his weapon.

"Yuffie, you go with Tifa, Red, Vincent, and the others. I will take care of this." They began to run off, except for Yuffie, who's eyes did not leave Hiro. However, Tifa grabbed her and began to pull her. Her eyes never left him, until they turned into a corner. Damen ran away, possibly to go tell his father.

"Tiamatt go after them, I will handle Cloud." Tiamatt hesitated, but seeing somthing in his eye, she nodded, and ran after the others.

"Cloud, let's take this on the deck." Hiro said, and Cloud nodded, jumping through a hole he made. Hiro jumped through the hole to. The only two left was the Remnants.

Kadaj kept looking at Ara, and kept looking away. "Kadaj, what's wrong?"

"Umm..nothing..."

hIrO vS cLoUd

Cloud charged at Hiro and slashed, but Hiro blocked it, and attacked with his own attack. Cloud moved out of the way, and clashed at Hiro again, they both struggled, but talked at the same time

"Cloud! Why have you done this to me? You and Arxen kept a secret from me and then now you are siding with Katzuna!" Hiro said, pushing Cloud down. Cloud quikly recovered, and started to push Hiro down.

"You wouldn't understand! You never lost someone truly close to you!" Hiro's eyes widened, then glared. Hiro's strengh increased, and he slashed Cloud, sending him back. Cloud put his sword in the ship, and swievered. He stopped thirty feet away from Hiro.

"OH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HUH!" Hiro screamed, appearing infront of Cloud. He hit Cloud's sword out of his hands, and Hiro dropped his. Hiro started to punch him, hitting him in the face.

"I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY! I LOST MY PARENTS AFTER I WAS EXACTLY BORN! THEN I LOST ZEK! THEN I LOST RACHEL, LARSINA, XEN!" Hiro kept hitting Cloud, tears forming.

"THEN I LOST A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE! AND NOW I LOST MY BEST FRIENDS WHO BETRAYED ME! AND I LOST YUFFIE!" Hiro said, who stopped punching him. Cloud, bleeding, picked up his sword, and hit Hiro back. He threw Hiro his sword. Cloud looked down. "So you do.." But then he was cut short by a hit in the back of the head, causing him to black out. Standing behind him was Kadai, Kadaj, and Ara. Ara looked at Hiro, who was bleeding a bit. "Hiro, are you alright?" asked Ara, running up to him. Hiro casted Curaga, and nodded.

"Yea...Ara and Kadaj, come with me. Kadai, go down there and find Tiamatt, and help her."

tIaMaTt

Tiamatt followed Tifa, Yuffie, Barret, and three kids as they entered a secure room. Tifa, who noticed the woman was following her, quickly closed the door. The door was locked, but it didn't stop Tiamatt, who kicked open the door.

"What do you want from us?" asked Tifa, looking at Tiamatt. Barret had already pointed his gun arm at her. Tiamatt quickly went behind him and knocked him out. Barret laid on the ground, while Tifa was surprised by Tiamatt's strength.

"Daddy!" cried Marlene as she ran for him, but was caught by Denzel, who held on to her.

"Who are you?" asked Tifa. But Tiamatt ignored her, and turned her attenion to Yuffie.

"You..." growled Tiamatt.

"You leave her alone!" Tifa tried to lunge at her, but she couldn't even move.

"I cast Stop on you, I don't want to hurt you, I just want to hurt her." said Tiamatt pointing at Yuffie.

"Me? Why me?" asked Yuffie, scared to death.

"YOU HURT HIM! YOU HURT HIRO!" Tiamatt yelled, her eyes glaring into the ninja like knives. Yuffie looked at her with feared eyes.

"You broke his heart, he has been in depression because of you're foolish actions! Everyone on that ship blames you!" Tiamatt had to let her have it, she deserved it, she broke his heart. She wouldn't understand the pain of having your love leave you. Wait, that was it. Tiamatt's eyes widened a bit. Yuffie felt alone, because Hiro left her alone, not on purpose of course, but she was alone.

Tiamatt growl softened, and she looked down.

"I know what it is like to lose a love..." She was about to sympathize with the ninja, but she caused the fire to stir in the woman once more.

"But you don't understand! You-"

"SILENCE!" Tiamatt slapped Yuffie, causing her to cry, because blood was pouring came out of her mouth, possibly when Tiamatt slapped her.

"Hiro is my ittle brother. I knew him a long time. And if you dare blame him I will kill you!"

"Hiro had nothing to do with this! Is it because of what he had with in him!" screamed Tiamatt, anger exploding.

"No...I could never do that to him...I can't judge him..."

"Was it because he died, even though he promised to come back? I knew Hiro longer then any of you! And he would never back down from a promise!"

"No..." Yuffie mumbled.

"Then what was it?" asked Tiamatt. Yuffie couldn't answer, her eyes forming tears, but Tiamatt didn't notice them, even if she did. She didn't care, she wanted to kill her.

"ANSWER ME!" But before Tiamatt could lunge on her, she was being held by Kadai.

"Calm down! Hiro told me to help you!" Kadai looked at the children, who were terrified. Then she turned her attenion to Yuffie.

"You must be Yuffie right?" asked Kadai. Yuffie nodded. She of course was slapped again.

"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO HIRO!"

hIrO

Kadaj and Ara followed Hiro as they explored the deck, and sooner or later they were on the biggest part of the deck. "Oh great, we are lost." said Kadaj.

But Hiro heard something. He listend closely.

"Come on out! I know your here!" said Hiro. Then, Vincent, Shelke, Red, and Katzuna appeared. Hiro glared at them all.

"What are you doing here?" asked Hiro. Katzuna drawed a blade, and pointed at Hiro.

"It has been great knowing you Hiro Aoyama. They are all on our side now." said Katzuna. But someone appeared infront of Hiro...it was...

Kaza!

"Katzuna, it is time we end this." said Kaza, drawing Mirs.

"It will be my pleasure to take you down Kaza!" Katzuna charged at them, while the others charged at Hiro's group.

To Be Continued.
