Chapter 24
"Happiness is slowly fading..."
While the reunited family have a family moment, Cloud looked around at everyone the at the family. "The twins have their family back...so what's the use in continuing," Cloud thought. Angel began to struggle in the family hug and Omega pulled away from it to place her down. Angel ran over to Cloud and lifted her arms up indicating she wants him to pick her up. Cloud looked down at her and picked her up. Chaos watched her with overprotective eyes as Angel smiled. "We still need your help Cloud...just because we're reunited with our parents doesn't mean the mission is over just yet," Angel said. "She's right," Simone said with a smile. "We're still gunna be used to make our parents evil and only you and your friends can help us," Angel said. Everyone stared at her with a smile and Simone nodded. Cloud looked around at everyone then smiled. "After breakfast, we're having a meeting in the main room," Cloud ordered.
"Yes sir," everyone said.
Angel smiled happily as Cloud handed her to Chaos, who she automatically cuddled into. Chaos smiled and kissed her forehead. Angel held onto him as he got up along with Genesis. Genesis walked over to SImone and held his hand out. SImone smiled and took it. The two of them left the room, Chaos right behind them holding Angel. Sephiroth and Aeris got up as well and began to follow the other newly-developed couples.
"Cloud," Tifa smiled, "you are such a baka. Of course they need us...We still need to stop Deep Ground." Her tone turned serious, "Deep Ground is a threat to humanity, or rather the planet." She reminded him. "Sure we got everything that they need. But Cloud, we cannot leave off here. Don't you wonder why so many powerful people were revived." He looked at Tifa and nodded.
"Your right," he paused. "We have a lot of work to do. We have to figure out their new plans."
"Right, but how are we going to obtain the information. I'm sure we will work it out," She encouraged.
"Yeah...let's go the others are waiting," he lead Tifa through the hallway and to the meeting room. He took his spot in the back of the room and Tifa stood to his right. Zack ran in.
"Yo! Sorry I was late," Zack puffed. "I was distracted by my underwear. Then I went looking for Cloud but I mixed him up at the chocobo stable."
"I wasn't anywhere near there Zack," Cloud sighed.
"Yeah. I know that now. You don't taste like chocobo."
"What did you do to my chocobo!"
"Nothing!"
"Don't tell me that you bit my chocobo."
"So I lie then?"
"Zack," Cloud yelled. Everyone stared at Zack with a disgusted look on their face. Zack waved his hand.
"Don't worry the bird did more damage to me then me to it," Cloud sighed in relief. "Hey whats for lunch."
"Didn't you eat breakfast?"
"No. Angel ruined that. I wants me some KFC," Zack said as his mouth watered and he rubbed his hands together.
"KFC," asked Genesis.
"Kentucky Fried Chocobo," Zack said joyfully. Cloud looked like he was going to strangle Zack. "What's wrong with that?"
"Zack," Aeris warned.
"What's wrong with chocobo meat?"
"Zack! Shut up," Angel yelled at him.
"Fine," Zack stood in the corner angrily.
"You may start now Cloud," Angeal prompted.
"Okay," Cloud sucked in some air. "There are a lot of options of where we could go."
"Zack," Tifa warned as she saw him begin to open his mouth.
"I have decided that we will go to Costa De Sol to relax for a little. There we will plan to move forward. We have what they need. So we cannot stay on the same continent as Deep Ground. They will not strike Costa De Sol as it is a favorite vacation spot and a public area."
"This has nothing to do with your beach condo does it Cloud," Yuffie asked.
"No! That's just a bonus. And everyone can fit there as long as they can share rooms," Cloud defended.
"Right," Yuffie said sarcastically and she quieted. She had already proved her point.
"So we are to stay there-" Cloud was cut off by Zack.
"When did you get real-estate chocobo," Zack asked loudly.
"Since I spent two-hundred thousand gil on it Zack," Cloud answered coldly.
"Your rich," Zack shouted loudly.
"Shut-up," Genesis yelled as he smacked Zack upside his head. He was getting a headache from Zack.
"Stupid puppy," Angeal groaned.
"I'm for a little R&R," Cid said happily. "An ol man like me needs a rest from you kids."
"Cid," Yuffie said. "Red and Vincent are older than you."
"Shut it! Fucking brat," Cid cursed loudly. Cloud waited until the room calmed down.
"This is just a period to rest, regroup, and plan. This is not a Golden Saucer vacation," Cloud reminded.
Angel took out a computer and started quickly typing and hacking deep ground files. Chaos watched her and asked, "How are you able to do that?" "I may be a child and a brat but I'm great with electronics," Angel said happily. "When it comes to hacking files and typing quickly my sister is the best at it. Weiss and Nero taught her when we were three how to hack, de-code patterns, disarm bombs and just about everything that has to do with engineering," Simone stated. Cid looked at the twins and asked, "And you never planned to tell us this?"
"You never asked," Angel said as she continued working.
Everyone watched as she smirked and looked at Chaos. Chaos shrugged and watched his girlfriend do what she does best. Angel smirked and looked up at Cloud. "You're in now you can get everything Deep ground plans…where they are hiding…where they are stationed….and just about everything else," Angel said. Everyone except Simone stared at Angel in shock. Cloud walked over to the computer Angel pulled out and looked at all the data she got. "Wow you're really fast," Cloud said. Angel shrugged and looked at Chaos.
"Wait…why did Weiss and Nero teach you these things?" Tifa asked.
"I was really into computers," Angel said.
Simone nodded and smirked as Cloud continued to look at the information. "Oh and Zack if you ever touch those chocobos, you're gunna be 60 feet under," Angel threatened. Zack gulped in fear and nodded. Angel smirked at his fear and Simone snickered.
"Sister. If he bit that chocobo. I'm gunna kill him. I love that chocobo."
"Ok ok I lied I didn't bit him," Zack waved his arms fearfully. He was not to be trusted.
"Zack stay out of trouble."
"Yes, father. I'm sorry that I am a trouble maker," Zack answered.
"And you were lecturing me on manners Zack," Yuffies snickered.
"Why you little."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Save it for someone who cares Zackary," Yuffie laughed at Zack who was becoming flustered. "Cool your jets huh? Angel just got us some important data!" She pondered. "Where did you get the laptop anyway."
"I got it from Cid."
"Oh I see," she answered. "But why didn't you hack them in the first place? It would have saved us a ton of trouble." Angel looked away.
"I don't know. I forgot I guess."
"What kind of answer is that," Chaos questioned.
"Sister is a baka," Simone answered. She was hit by Jenova. "Ow! Wow mom! Protect your favorite why don't you," Simone snapped. Jenova and Omega glared at Simone. "Please you know it is true and don't pull she is the youngest card! Sure you love me but she is the golden child all because she is closer to the planet!" Simone walked away to stand in a corner and wait for Cloud's orders.
"That child," Jenova was angry. Omega glared at Simone.
"But she went through a lot," Angel tried to defend her.
"No buts Angel," Omega snapped. "She knows exactly what she said." Angel stayed quiet.
"Okay! Most of this data I already have. There are no new orders waiting. They seem to be planning as well." Cloud sighed.
"It's okay. It's too soon for their plans to change when they still think the old plan is a go," Red suggested.
"Good it means we still have time," Simone offered. "It means that we can lead them off track and play keep away," her eye's had a sly flicker to them. "Whatever keeps us on top."
"Will lead us to victory," Cait finished and Simone nodded.
"Right," Cloud took the spotlight. "This will not be an easy task."
"But someone has to do it," Tifa smirked.
"Exactly. We will use this to our advantage."
"Being small is a good thing in this case," Sephiroth thought aloud. "We do not need computers to tell each other what to do." He took the laptop. "Nor do we need them to use as a diary," he points to Azul's blog.
"So what we have to do is lay low," Angeal said smirking. Zack took the laptop.
"Hahahahah," Everyone stared at Zack. "Weiss….Weiss has a twitter."
"I know…I made it for him when I was three," Angel said boredly.
"Why?" Chaos asked.
Angel shrugged then looked at her parents. "I do not care if I'm a golden child nor closer to the planet but I will not allow you to treat my sister like you did. Parents or not she has been there for me like a parent and a sibling while you were quickly recovering," Angel said glaring. Omega and Jenova stared at one another. Angel grabbed her laptop back from Zack and glared at him. "No one…touches my laptop understand," Angel said glaring at Zack, who nodded in fear. "What's with you and computers?" Tifa asked. "She's attached," Simone said bordly. Angel smiled at her sister who smiled back at her. Angel looked at her computer and nearly dropped it.
"Holy mother of hell!" Angel yelled out.
Everyone looked at her as she turned pale. "Sister what is it?" Simone asked worriedly. "I'm looking at Rosso's pregnancy file and it's positive…and Nero's the father," Angel said. "The whore can have kids?" Yuffie asked. "It seems so," Angel said. Simone took a look and turned pale as well. "Why are you pale?" Zack asked. "Because…in a sense…that thing…is related to us….since we were adopted by Nero and Weiss…" Angel said. Simone nodded and looked at them.
Everyone stared at the twins and Angel quickly started looking at other things. Simone walked over to Genesis and leaned against him. Genesis held her close to him while Chaos went over to Angel and hugged her gently.
"I worry for the kid though," Yuffie said. "Just think about it. Will it end up being another Sephiroth. Not that you are bad Sephy. What I mean to say…is…um…they are going to experiment on it. You know it may be really messed up…Ugh.. I'm not good with words without being insulting."
"I think she means they will experiment and abuse the baby," Red righted what was being said. "In a way they will destroy its chances at a happy life."
"Thanks Red! You're the best," the ninja hugged the lion like creature. "But yeah they would do crazy stuff to the poor thing."
"Yes, they would wouldn't they," Sephiroth added sadly. He laid his head on his arm lazily. Aeris rested her head on his shoulder.
"That's disgusting," she murmured.
"What can we do," Angeal added carefully. He and Sephiroth's existence were one in the same. They were experimented on differently. Genesis was created from the DNA from Angeal's own mother. What a horrible existence the baby would have if it grew up in Deep Ground. He and Genesis were lucky to have grown up in the country. He sighed. It was not enough to stop Genesis's madness. No his own mother was gone and so was the entire village.
"Nothing as of now," Cloud began. "For now we will worry about the whole takeover of the world drama."
"Yes, we have some good leads," Red added.
"We know if they have a weakness. The internet," Yuffie cheered.
"Fucking idiots are abusing the internet," Cid chuckled happily. "We can beat them using good ol fashion common sense."
"It simplies things a lot," Angel said happily.
"Angel," Cloud started. "I never said you were weak or useless. I think you are just learning the rules of the game. Just keep up with the group okay." Angel nodded happily. "I'm sorry that it was misinterpreted Angel." Angel looked at Cloud and hugged him.
"Why is it Sephiroth can use the laptop but not me," Zack finally noticed and complained.
"Because you're too be of an idiot and I'd have to kill you," Angel said darkly.
They stared at her and Angel smiled. "Just kidding," Angel said.
Simone hit her sister on the bad of her head with an irritated look. "Ow! Simone!" Angel whined. "You're being a nuisance just get back to work," Simone said angrily. Angel nodded and got back to work.
