Chapter 36
"Hey no need to yell in my ear," Cid grumbled as Angel was shouting her good mornings.
"Sorry, Uncle," Angel pouted cute. She earned herself a pat on the head.
"Shorty doesn't know when to be quiet," Simone groaned. "You do realize that I'm not allowed to sleep either right?"
"Yep but I just have more energy than you," Angel nodded enthusiastically. Simone groaned. "Cheer up sis. I saw shooting stars last night."
"Impossible it was raining."
"Vinnie took me to the other side of the mountains for a short trip."
"Good for you," Simone said boredly. "Ouch! You bit me," Simone exclaimed loudly.
"Now you're awake," Angel smiled. Simone growled annoyed.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Dunno you tell me," Angel smiled. Simone just stared at her.
"We go through this almost every morning but it never ceases to amaze me," Angeal said incredulously. Sephiroth sipped his coffee.
"It's just like your pets," Sephiroth motioned to Cloud and Zack who were arguing over bacon while Tifa was vigorously explaining that there would be more bacon.
"Perhaps we are old?" Both generals stopped to consider that idea.
"Nope," they both answered at the same time.
"Your hair makes you look old brother," Angel said as she appeared in his face. Sephiroth didn't even flinch.
"Your ears make you look like a bad cosplayer."
"Touché," Angel glared annoyed. She turned and jumped on Genesis's back causing the man to startle and drop his ever present book.
"Read me a story," She yelled in his ear.
"So much for perfect composure," Angeal mocked.
"Yuffie," Vincent glared causing the ninja to flinch. "How much candy has she had," he demanded.
"Um. Not candy. An entire cake," she murmmered while Vincent stared in horror.
"We are doomed," Sephiroth whispered to Angeal who nodded.
"So cute," Aries and Tifa cooed over Angel.
"Story now," Angel began tugging on Genesis's earing. The red-clad general had a look of terror in his eyes.
"O-okay fine," he stammered.
"Story, Story, story, story," Angel chanted over and over again as she bounced onto the floor and sat down with a happy smile.
"Who gave her cake?" Vincent asked as Genesis started reading a story to the sugar-high Angel.
"I bet it was my dad. I saw him ask her about cake," Yuffie said.
"Damn him, he knows Angel can't resist any sugar," Vincent said.
Genesis continued reading a story to Angel until she told him to give her a root beer.
"Angel, I think you had enough sugar for the day," Angeal said.
"I want a root beer," Angel said with a glare.
"No," Sephiroth said.
"Give me my soda you bad excuse of a SOLDIER," Angel growled.
Sephiroth just looked at her as she kept asking for soda. Suddenly the opening of a soda can was heard and they turned around to see Godo holing a root beer can. Angel's eyes widen and she ran over to him, jumping up and down.
"Soda," Angel said with happiness in her eyes.
"You want this root beer," Godo stated.
"Yes I want the root beer," Angel said, staring at the soda.
"You have to do something for me in order to get this soda," Godo said.
"I will do anything for soda," Angel said as if she's in a trance.
Vincent's eyes widen then he quickly took out a bottle of cold root beer and whistled to get Angel's attention. Angel looked at him and squealed in happiness. She ran over to him and jumped into his arms. Vincent handed her the soda and sighed in relief as she happily drank the bottle from him.
"We won't allow you to use Angel for selfish gain," Cloud stated, glaring at Godo.
"All I did was giving her really yummy treats," Godo said innocently.
Cloud and Yuffie glared as Vincent kept his watch over Angel, who was happily chugging down her root beer bottle. Angeal and Sephiroth just shook their heads at Godo's antics. Zack walked to stand in front of Angel protectively as Genesis and Simone stood together as well. Angel finished her soda and looked around as everyone glared at Godo. She jumped out of Vincent's arms and stared at Godo.
"I won't use my powers to help you ever," Angel stated.
"And why is that?" Godo asked.
"I don't have to explain to you," Angel said as she crossed her arms over her chest and stared at him coldly.
Everyone looked at Angel as if she was replaced by Simone or Sephiroth. Simone stood by her sister and shrugged.
"Godo, I think you should listen to my sister's decision," Simone said.
"I'll get her to help me when you least expect it," Godo said with a glare as he left the room.
Everyone looked at Angel with narrowed eyes as she suddenly started running around hyperly because of her soda. Vincent sighed, knowing it was his fault and watched as Angel jumped on Zack's back and told him to mush. Zack's eyes went wide as he felt Angel kick his sides.
"I said mush," she kicked again. Zack began to run around and bounce Angel around. Angeal sweat dropped as he wondered how Zack had ever become his student.
"I am curious as to how he had root beer," Vincent questioned.
"Me too. Wutai is supposed have closed its borders," Yuffie reminded. "Root beer is produced by ShinRa. Father would never open his doors to ShinRa when ShinRa fell. Unless," Yuffie thought aloud.
"Unless he knew what he wanted and planned ahead," Cloud finished.
"Looks like it," Cid lit a cigarette.
"You aren't supposed to smoke here," Yuffie scolded.
"Like I give a shit what that old fuck says," he blew out a smoke ring. "See that kid that takes skill."
"One day your lungs are gunna collapse."
"That will be the day when you stop puking on my damn ship," Cid ended the argument.
"We leave tomorrow. That leaves Godo with little time to actually try something. We should be okay," Tifa smiled.
"Still even if sister denied Godo, she said she would do anything for soda," Simone murmurred.
"I told you I am not waiting in the ship," a voice yelled angerily.
"Oh no. Why now," Sephiroth groaned. Angeal shook his head.
"Brother will be angry," anther voice was heard. The aura around Sephiroth turned dark as Kadaj pushed his way into the room.
"Too late," Yazoo groaned.
"Both brothers are very angry," Loz shivered.
Angel squealed and jumped off Zack's back. She ran over to Kadaj and jumped into his arms happily. Kadaj caught Angel and smiled as Angel's tail wagged happily. Kadaj glared at Sephiroth as Sephiroth just sighed in annoyance.
"No fighting you two," Angel scolded.
"Little sister, this is no time to mess around," Yazoo said.
"Sephiroth's mad and so is Kadaj," Angel stated.
"Which means it's a bad idea to ruin this moment," Loz said.
"Even though we have more important things to do than argue," Angel said with a smile.
"Who are you and what have you done to Angel?" Zack asked/yelled.
"I can be logical sometimes you stupid puppy," Angel said.
"I have to agree with Angel, this is no time to be fighting one another," Angeal said as he walked over to Sephiroth.
"Since I cleared that up, I have something to say," Angel said.
"Oh no…" Simone thought.
"Give me more cake and soda," Angel demanded cutely.
"You've had enough," Cloud said.
"If I don't get anymore, how can you be so sure that I will stay awake this time," Angel bargained.
"Damnit give her more sweets," Cloud said, falling for Angel's trap.
"She is gunna get fat," Simone groaned. "No."
"You can have it later. Right now you have had too much," Angeal scolded.
"Your mean," She glared.
"Right. Well someone has to parent you," Angeal scoffed.
"You're not my father," Angel yelled.
"Enough," Simone grabbed her sister. "No more treats. That root beer was enough for a while."
"Fine. I'm sorry," Angel pouted.
"So back to the problem at hand. We are leaving tommorrow. We cannot sleep and Godo is acting strange," Simone listed.
"Is that all we missed," Kadaj asked. "You act as if that is a lot."
"You really do have a big mouth brother," Yazoo sighed in annoyance. Kadaj rolled his eyes. There was a giggling noise and everyone turned to look.
"Loz," Kadaj scolded. "Don't give her candy."
"I can't help it. She is so cute," Loz stated simply.
"Hojo was a moron," Sephiroth sweatdropped. Genesis started laughing.
"Your clones suck," he managed to stifle his laughter when he caught Sephiroth's glare.
"Sis you can have your laptop back," Simone held up the computer but it was quickly snapped out of her hands.
"Mine," she laughed crazily.
"I figured with all the yaoi you have on there," she answered sighing.
"I better not be in there," Zack yelled.
"I refuse to answer," Angel yelled back.
"Sis stop arguing with your brother," she snickered.
"She/he isn't my brother/sister," both yelled at the same time.
"You two act more like twins that Simone and Angel," Angeal said to Zack and Angel.
Angel pouted and ate the candy Loz gave her. Loz smiled and picked Angel up, treating Angel like a dog. Angel just got comfortable in Loz's arms, causing everyone else to just stare at her in disbelief.
"How come you're more calm when you're around Loz but not around us?" Kadaj asked with mock hurt in his voice.
"Sometimes I'm a lot calmer around Vinny because he's mine," Angel said happily.
"You're dodging the question," Simone stated.
"Loz is like a teddy bear that I wish I had gotten for Christmas," Angel said, her tail wagging happily as Loz affectionately scratches behind her left wolf ear.
Vincent glared at Loz and took Angel away from him, causing Loz to become sad. Angel relaxed in Vincent's arm and smiled at him.
"No more sweets because you'll crash tomorrow and get sucked into that dream of yours which will endanger you even more," Vincent said gently.
Angel looked into Vincent's crimson eyes then smiled, slowly nodding in understanding.
"I won't eat anymore candy because you are really concerned Vinny," Angel said with a happy smile.
"Really?! You'll listen to Vincent but not the rest of us. You're playing favorites," Cloud stated.
"No I am not but Vincent's eyes are very sincere and fascinatingly awesome," Angel said happily.
"Bet you'd say the same thing about his dad," Simone said.
"I like Vincent's eyes way better than Dr. Valentine's," Angel said as she threw a yarn ball at her sister, who automatically started playing with it.
Angel giggled and watched as her sister acted more like a cat than her usual self.
"Seriously did you have to do that now?" Genesis asked.
"Yes I did, besides it's adorable," Angel said happily.
Everyone watched as Simone continued to act like a cat until she saw she was being watched. She cleared her throat and stood up, blushing with embarrassment.
"Angel that was not necessary," Simone said.
"You need to lighten up sometimes since you were this strict when we were in Deep Ground," Angel said as she cuddled in Vincent's arms.
"If you hadn't realized, we were being hurt badly by those people," Simone said with a glare.
"I know but you act as if everyone is out to get us that's why you never seen to fully relax anymore," Angel said softly. "I miss my sister who would still play a game with me and smile even when things get tough."
Simone stared at her sister and smiled a bit.
"You are such a child," Simone said as she laughed lightly.
"I'm supposed to be childish," Angel said as her tail wagged slowly in happiness. Simone rolled her eyes.
"Yeah well thanks for embarrassing me," Simone glared at Angel.
"Your welcome," Angle piped up happily.
"Stop staring at me," Simone snapped at the staring eyes. Everyone blushed as they looked away. "Damn you sister. I was hoping to keep that a secret. You could have waited till we were alone."
"But this was more fun," she smiled. Simone pulled out a bone. "Why do you have that," her eyes grew wide."
"Just cuz. You know. It's for fun," Simone began to wiggle the bone. Angel shot out of Vincent's arms toward her sister. "Ah. Ah. Ah," Simone taunted as she kept the bone out of reach.
"Bone. Bone," Angel shook in exightment.
"Where did you get that," Cloud asked.
"Off of somebody. He won't need it anymore," She answered as she shook the bone. Angel hopped around happily.
"Mine. My bone," she begged as she wagged her tail joyfully.
"Fetch," Simone tossed the bone and watched her sister chase it and begin to chew it.
"So your saying that is a human bone," Zack stared at Angel gnawing on the bone.
"Yeah...Deep Ground didn't have many toys," Simone answered.
"Oh."
"Yep," Simone pocketed the yarn for later.
"That is somehow still cute even if it is a real bone," Yuffie laughed.
Angel kept gnawing at the bone with her teeth.
"Makes her seem kind of cannibal though," Cloud said.
"Technically she's not even human so it's fine," Genesis said.
Angel took her bone and went outside to go bury it like all dogs do, causing everyone to sigh and go after her. Angel dug a hole and pulled out a pink material then placed her bone in there. She covered it up and picked up the materia with her teeth. She trotted over to Yuffie and gave the materia to her since she said to. Angel barked and Yuffie petted her on the head, causing Angel to wag her tail happily.
"We're really treating her like a pet," Zack said.
"Yeah yet I don't feel bad about it," Yuffie said as Angel started sniffing around.
Everyone watched her worriedly especially Yuffie and decided to carefully follow her.
"This wouldn't have happened if Simone hadn't even her the bone," Sephiroth said.
"Hey!"
"It's true," Cloud said.
Angel stopped and dug another hole just to pull out a yellow materia and hand it to Yuffie. Yuffie put the pink leash around Angel's neck and followed as Angel walked around again. Angel stopped in front of a spot and dug another hole. She took out another human bone and began to gnaw on it, causing everyone to anime fall.
"She gave Yuffie two materia then went after another bone," Angeal said with a facepalm.
"She's following instincts," Simone said with a shrug.
Vincent kneeled in front of Angel and waited. Angel stopped gnawing on her new bone and sniffed Vincent's hand. She walked over to him and cuddled him happily.
"Yep she's following her canine instincts alright," Kadaj said.
"Let's see if she could sniff out Deep Ground activity around here tomorrow," Cloud stated.
"We are not using Angel as a dog to look for clues," Tifa said as she pointed at Angel happily nuzzling Vincent.
"It would make her more useful," Cloud murmured, causing Angel to whine and whimper sadly.
"She can hear you baka," Simone said.
"Not right now she can't," Cloud whispered as Angel scratched her ears. Simone sighed.
"She is in dog mode. It can't be helped."
"Yuffie is the leash necessary," Yazoo asked in concern.
"It is if we want to prevent her from running off."
"Okay."
"Hmm. Maybe we should get one for Zack," Genesis joked. "Is he house broken yet?" Zack glared.
"I'm not a dog. I just have attention issues." Angel pulled up more bones.
"Must be from the Wutai war with ShinRa," Yuffie said as she emptied the weapons materia slots. "You're the best friend a girl could ask for," Yuffie exclaimed. Angel wagged her tail happily and returned to her bones.
"If I thought Sephiroth was disturbed then I was way wrong," Cloud said in astonishment. Tifa nodded.
"That is debatable. It was Genesis's fault to begin with," Zack argued. "He was the one planting ideas."
"True. True."
"I am right here," Genesis snarled.
"Hey guys," Yuffie called. "Angel found something and it isn't materia."
"What is it?"
"I don't know but it isn't ShinRa or Wutai," she answered.
"Bring it here," Sephiroth ordered.
"I am not touching that," she yelled.
"I said bring it here now."
"Okay. Okay. Fine," Yuffie yelled as she picked up an object. It barely fit in her arms.
Everyone looked at it as Angel went back to cuddling Vincent, her form shifting into a bluish silver wolf. Vincent blinked as he felt fur and looked into Angel's wolf eyes.
"Angel…what the hell happened?" Vincent asked gently.
Simone looked at her sister and gasped.
"Sis! You shifted to your wolf form," Simone said as she went over to Angel.
"She looks so cute," Aeris said as she held her hand out to Angel.
Angel sniffed Aeris's hand then licked it. Aeris giggled softly as Sephiroth, Genesis and Angeal continued to look at Angel found.
"Angel, listen carefully. I need you to look for something that could do with Deep Ground," Cloud said to the wolf.
Angel cocked her head to the side as if showing she's thinking then nodded her head. Angel sniffed around, trying to remember the scent of some of the people of Deep Ground. She whined then trotted over to Genesis. She sniffed his arm, causing Genesis to blink at her in confusion. Angel sniffed around, remembering the scents of Rosso, Weiss, Nero and now Genesis. She continued sniffing until she stopped and started digging. She grabbed a bag with her teeth and trotted over to Cloud. Cloud gently took it from her and looked around inside of it.
"These are old Deep Ground documents. Why did they throw these out?" Cloud murmured.
"It could be because there are secrets they don't want told," Angel said as she sat down like an actual dog.
"You can talk in that form?" Zack asked.
"Of course I can," Angel said as she cuddled Vincent.
"What's with the urge to act like a wolf now anyway?" Yuffie asked.
"I started smelling something off other than Godo and the people of this village and because sister gave me a really yummy bone," Angel said as she scratched her ear with her foot.
"Do you need a flea bath or something?" Tifa asked.
"I've never had fleas so can't hurt to try one," Angel said.
"Angel can you tell us about this thing you found?" Sephiroth asked, showing what Yuffie gave him.
"It could be a really weird flashdrive or a microchip of some sort," Angel said thoughtfully.
"Whose scent was on this bag?" Tifa asked.
"A Genesis clone and a hint of Weiss," Angel said, wagging her tail.
"You make a good pet Angel," Zack said.
"I didn't get rabbis shots yet Zack. Don't make me attack you," Angel stated with a glare.
"Sure you didn't," Simone yawned. "Deep Ground was very careful to give you all your shots. Don't lie," she scolded.
"Party pooper." Simone shrugged.
"That's one big microchip," Sephiroth groan. "This thing must be ancient."
"Yeah reminds me of my old computer on the ship," Cid sipped his tea. "Bet if I pull that piece of shit out it could read it." Everyone stared at him. "What do you want my help or not," he stomped his cigarette out.
"Sounds good to me," Cloud shrugged.
"Get to it old man," Yuffie chirped.
"Old," Cid grumbled. "Red is older than me."
"I'm a teen for my species."
"Right keep telling yourself that," Cid said as he took the microchip. "I'll be back if I can plug this into it."
"Kadaj. Go with him," Sephiroth ordered.
"Are you kidding me," he yelled. "I just got off that ship."
"Do it now. I don't need you pissing off the locals."
"Fine. But don't act all high and mighty because you, Zack and Angeal are on their kill list," Kadaj stormed after Cid.
"I'm beginning to question who is leader," Cloud glared.
"He wouldn't listen to you if you tried," he shrugged.
"Yeah well just remember. What I say goes. I still don't trust you," Cloud glared. He ignored Angel's growl.
"Ladies," Aeris interrupted. "You're both pretty now stop arguing," she giggled. Cloud and Sephiroth both looked at her in horror before they glared at her. Angel began laughing loudly.
"What a way to waste breakfast," Zack said as he finished the bacon off. Cloud stared.
"You ate all of the bacon."
"So? You weren't eating it," he smirked.
"Heel chocobo," Tifa pulled Cloud's ear. Angel went over to Vincent and started begging like a dog for soda.
"It's amazing anything is done," Yazoo pointed out.
"I'm just amazed that is isn't any blood yet," Loz pointed out as he scratched his head.
"You should see when there is only one steak left," Yuffie giggles. "That is where the blood shed lies," she laughed hysterically.
"Steak," Angel looked around frantically. "Where? It's mine."
"There is no steak," Simone answered. "Only eggs and ... bacon grease."
"I want steak," Angel demanded.
"No," Vincent glared. "You didn't even eat anything on your plate.
"Steak, Steak, steak," Angel chanted, causing Vincent to become a bit annoyed with her antics.
"No now sit!" Vincent commanded.
Angel stopped and whimpered but sat down like a good dog would. Angel's ears drooped and she looked down in shame.
"Did he just…" Zack trailed off.
"Angel, we can find you a steak," Aeris said gently.
"No thank you Aeris," Angel said politely.
Simone sighed and shook her head. Vincent looked at Angel and sighed.
"Vincent look what you did, you broke her," Yuffied accused.
"No he didn't, he was just concerned for my wellbeing and to perfectly honest I'm ok with his demand," Angel said as she went back to chewing on her new dugged up bones.
Vincent frowned and sat beside Angel as she continued to gnaw on her bones.
"Angel are you alright?" Vincent asked softly.
Angel nodded her head and gave him a wolf smile before going back to chewing on her bows. Zack took out some doggy treats and fed them to Angel. Angel ate them lightly with a soft smile on her face. Zack finished feeding Angel her doggy treats.
"Now that she has eaten something, can she get steak?" Zack asked.
"Or we can see if she can find me more materia," Yuffie suggested as she tugged on Angel's leash.
Angel shrugged and started to sniff around for materia as they waited for Cid and Kadaj to return with their news. Angel found five more materia: a red, blue, purple, green, and orange, and gave them all to Yuffie. As Angel continued to find more materia, the rest of the ground waited for Cid and Kadaj to return with information.
There was a loud boom.
"What the fuck is with this piece of," Cid was heard screaming profanities from the ship. "I told you not to touch it!"
"All I did was turn it on like you wanted," Kadaj's voice yelled back.
"Fuck this thing. It's on fucking fire. Damn." Angel's ears perked up.
"Look just be happy that it printed out it's blueprints and numeric code."
"Where does a clone even learn this shit." The voices went silent.
"I guess Cid is done," Cloud said from his position on the wall.
"What was your first clue," Tifa sighed.
"Good," Zack groaned. "I was getting bored." Cid cam walking back covered in soot.
"Here," he tossed the papers to Cloud.
"What happened," Simone asked.
"I don't want to talk about it. I left pretty boy to clean it up. All of you youngins need a haircut. You look like women." He was glared at by Sephiroth.
"Speaking of hair. Is the myth about your hair true," Zack asked.
"What myth," he glared.
"The one in my email," Zack said happily.
"What email."
"The sivler elite," Zack said confused.
"You joined the fan club," Angeal asked in shock. Genesis began to snicker.
"I joined three fan- no four fanclubs."
"Why," Angeal asked.
"Well first I joined the Keepers of Honor," Zack flinched as Angeal glared at him. "Then the Red Leather and the LOVELESS study group." Genesis was laughing harder now as he gripped his sides.
"Why?"
"What better way to find out about other people than from the people who stalk them," Zack smiled proudly. "And it was fun," he shivered as he was glared at.
"Wait what was the fourth one," Genesis was grinning madly as he asked.
"Um my own fan club," Zack answered embarrassed. Genesis slapped Angeal on the back. His face was as red as his coat.
"Who the fuck joins their own fan club," he asked Angeal. "Oh that's right your student." He was punched in the stomach by Angeal. "Shutting up," he wheezed. Sephiroth shook his head.
"I use a bottle of conditoner everyday," Sephiroth answered Zack's question. "It was likely the smell changed daily."
"Wait I didn't say what the email said." Sephiroth blushed.
"Um I got that email as well. It's in my spam folder." Angeal looked at the silver haired general.
"I don't even know you anymore," he told him. Genesis twitched in amusement.
"He is in his own fan club too," figures. He snickered.
"Hey I think this is the plans for a cloning device," Cloud called out.
"Let me see that," Zack practically ripped the papers from Cloud's hand.
"More like a genetic modifier...same difference," He ignored Cloud's glare. "I don't know about the codes. Perhaps it's the coding for the genetic modification. Looks like it was incomplete."
"Must be a failure," Loz read over Zack's shoulder.
"Not Hojo," he spoke.
"Your right," Yazoo stole the papers. "This is too unorganized and hurried. Perhaps someone had only half of the data and tried to fill in the blanks."
Angel's ears perked up and she walked over to them. She looked at the blueprints and blinked.
"This is mine when I was still a prisoner. I made up a code and then randomly typed a bunch of crap," Angel said
"Do you remember how to de-code it?" Yuffie asked.
Angel slowly nods her head and looks at the code, remembering how to decipher it. Slowly but surely, the deciphering was done and handed to Sephiroth to look at. Sephiroth handed it to Cid, who looked it over. Angel sniffed around and stopped. She started digging until the hole was a bit bigger. Angel looked at Yuffie and Vincent, who slowly began to follow her. After a while, Yuffie and Vincent carefully got out of the hole with a bunch of materia and some other deep ground items that might be useful.
"You're a lot more useful Angel," Cloud said as if it was a complement.
"And you're still a lame ass," Angel said with a grin.
Sephiroth, Angeal and Genesis chuckled softly as Cloud glared at the smug looking Angel.
"What about me," Zack asked.
"Well your improving," she smirked.
"Well that sums that up."
"What about me," Vincent smirked.
"Your my vampy," Vincent frowned then shrugged. It was better than lame ass.
"I don't recall being here," Simone looked at the items. "Yet how is your work here."
"I don't know," Angel pouted. "The scent is too old."
"Useless wolf," Simone joked.
"Better than hidding who I am," she mocked back.
"Keep telling yourself that," Simone grinned. The two looked at each other and laughed.
"They are so weird," Cloud said.
"Yeah but who here isn't weird," Cid stomped out yet another cigarette.
"Um," Yuffie hummed.
"Exactly," he huffed. "These prints are absolute. There is no way they could power this machine."
"Why," Tifa asked.
"Well for starters. This doesn't even run on mako. Or coal."
"What!"
"Yeah it runs on chocobo power. Very unreliable."
"Poor chocobo," Simone pouted.
"Damn right. That shit ruins the meat," Cid swore. Simone stared at him in horror."What? Why are you looking at me as if I drowned your goldfish?" She just continued to stared.
"Not the chocobo," she had tears traveling down her face before she started to cry outloud.
"This is why I told Shera I don't want kids," Cid shook his head.
"Once I made this code, they tried it and it never worked. The machine doesn't have to work on chocobo energy anymore that much I know of," Angel said.
"What does it work on?" Zack asked.
Angel laughed nervously and looked around tryin to be distracted by something else. Everyone narrowed their eyes at her and Vincent looked into her eyes.
"Angel, does this machine work on you?" Vincent asked slowly.
"Well not completely, it works on sister, that baby and I," Angel mumbled.
"How did you know that?" Aeris asked softly.
"There was a note in a book when I was in a dream and in there, they learned how to turn Jenova cells and Omega cells into a power source for a very powerful machine," Angel said.
"Does that baby have Omega cells?" Cloud asked.
"Well no not completely," Angel said.
"What do you mean Angel?" Tifa asked.
"Well yes they use to use chocobo power but they have the children of two…," Angel trailed off then tried to change the subject.
"Angel what were you going to say?" Sephiroth asked in a demanding tone.
"Talk me on a walk," Angel begged.
Vincent sighed and took Angel on a walk with Yuffie. Sephiroth growled, causing everyone to sweatdrop. Loz followed Vincent and Yuffie so he could be away from Sephiroth for when he starts yelling. Kadaj just looked at the deciphered code that Angel made long ago.
"They must have not been able to fully modify it unless they knew Angel's code and such. Maybe that is one of their reasons for trying to take Angel," Yazoo said as he looked with Kadaj.
"Could be," Kadaj said as he handed it to Genesis. "Does this look familiar to you at all Genesis?"
"Sort of but I mainly forgot about it," Genesis said.
"I do have a question," Zack stated.
"What is it Zack?" Angeal asked.
"Does Angel or Simone have chocobo DNA?" Zack asked.
"Could be a possibility but I doubt that they do," Sephiroth said.
"How are you so sure? They didn't really tell us what DNA they have. All we know is that Angel has Wolf and maybe Dragon DNA and Simone has Cat and dragon DNA," Zack said.
Simone was looking around for more notes that her sister might have not told them about. Genesis watched Simone carefully and smiled softly. Angeal bumped him.
"Cat got your tongue," he smirked while Genesis glared at him.
"I'd say it is more than his tongue," Sephiroth sneered.
"More like his attention."
"Now I remember why I left you guys," he crossed his arms in annoyance.
"Oh please without us you would just be in a corner reading poetry," Angeal joked.
"It isn't just poetry. It was a prophecy that was forfilled."
"Except It wasn't for you," Angeal grinned. "It was the puppy's."
"Actually poetry could be seen from several angles," Genesis snapped. Sephiroth raised his eyebrow. "It can," he snapped.
"There is the hot head we came to adore," Angeal cooed as if Genesis was a child.
"You guys suck." Simone looked over.
"Don't pick on him guys," she pouted. Genesis smiled. "It will ruin the rest of the day when he starts complaining."
"Not you too," she grinned while Angeal and Sephiroth smirked at his despair.
"Sorry but I am honest," she grinned.
"My friend, the fates are cruel. There are no dreams, no honor remains. The arrow has left the bow of the goddess," Genesis recited in a put out tone. Simone shrugged and continued to go through the paper.
"Genesis," Sephiroth smirked. "Ever the dramatic."
"I give him an hour," Angeal grinned.
"Five minutes tops," Sephiroth betted.
"You're on," Angeal and Sephiroth smirked.
"Leave Gen alone already," Angel said coming back from her walk.
"Alright fine," Angeal said.
"Good because I found a lot of materia," Angel said with a happy smile.
Yuffie was holding a bag full of materia as well as Loz.
"Angel I thought you went for a walk?" Yazoo asked.
"I did," Angel said with a happy grin.
Everyone sighed then went back inside to rest and eat before they get ready for more searching. What they didn't realize was that not only was Godo watching them but so was the baby of Rosso and Weiss, whose name is Ally whose cells sped her growth along.
"Soon Angel we will be acquainted and you will help my parents and uncle rule this world," the baby thought.
Angel shuddered and looked around.
"What's wrong sis?" Simone asked.
"Can you feel it?" Angel asked.
"Yeah we're being watched," Simone mumbled.
"Guard up as always," Angel stated as Simone nodded her head.
"It is our last night here," she looked at the table and shrieked causing everyone to look up in freight. All thoughts of being watched were forgotten.
"What is it," Genesis was the first to speak. She pointed at the roasted chocobo on the table. Angel laughed and took a piece of it.
"It is yummy," she smiled. "Besides. Who heard of a cat who doesn't eat birds?" Simone glared and folded her arms. Cid grunted.
"Damn kids," he said as he took a slice for himself. Genesis sighed and shook his head. He swept his bangs aside and smirked.
"Pay up," Sephiroth held out his hand.
"Damn," Angeal dug a few hundred gil out of his pocket.
"Hey," Genesis glared.
"Sorry your mood swings are easy money," Sephiroth said as he placed the gil in his wallet.
"You gunna buy me anything with that gil," Aeris smiled sweetly at him. He grunted and put his wallet away.
"You're not gunna get an answer. Trust me Cloud is the same way," Tifa spoke annoyed. Cloud blushed.
"I'm right here," he stammered.
"I know," Tifa streached. Simone got up.
"I'll be back later. I will be at the ship," she ran out of the room.
"A little CFC hasn't killed anyone," Cid groaned. Angel nodded.
"So can we eat it now that she is gone," Angeal asked.
"Why were you waiting," Angel asked.
"It is offensive to some people," He took a leg.
"Dude! Angeal man how can you eat all of that," Zack exclaimed.
"Well," he started. "While you were sleeping in, I trained." Sephiroth nodded.
"Stop slacking off Zack," Sephiroth scolded. Angel giggled. "You need to stop slacking off too," he glared.
"Aw," Angel pouted.
Everyone continued to eat their chocobo meat as Simone was inside the ship, throwing up at the horrors the poor bird had endured. Once Angel stopped eating, she decided to go to the ship and check on her sister.
"I'll be right back," Angel whispered to Vincent, who slowly nodded his head.
"Be careful love," Vincent whispered back.
Angel smiled and nodded her head before she left the group to go to the ship. As Angel carefully walked to the ship, she felt someone following her. She looked around with narrowed eyes but kept walking to the ship, keeping her eyes on her surroundings.
"Hello Angel," Godo said.
"Godo," Angel said boredly.
"Just help me with this one thing and I won't bother you anymore," Godo said.
"No," Angel said as she continued to walk towards the ship with a persistent Godo following her.
Angel sighed and blew on her brother whistle on her collar which can only be heard by her Jenova celled brothers. With the group, Sephiroth, Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz stood up suddenly and ran out the room. Vincent, being worried about Angel, followed after them with Genesis and Cid.
"You're in for it now," Angel smirked. Godo glared and left Angel in a hurry.
"Angel," Vincent ran in the room.
"What happened now," Kadaj complained. "Always drama."
"Godo was here," she whined.
"Looks like we can't leave her alone for five minutes," Sephiroth groaned. Angel shrugged.
"Whatever."
"Don't you whatever me," Sephiroth growled.
"Look he is gone now. No big deal," Angel yawned. "Besides that. Where were you when we needed you?" He glared at her.
"Stop acting immature," he was not pleased.
"Well I am just a kid. So is my sister."
"A kid in body but not in mind," he growled.
"I'm done here," Angel said. "Vinnie I want ice cream. Vincent sighed and lowered his left hand for her to hold. Angel gladly took it and lead Vincent out of the ship. Her sister was forgotten as the thoughts of the sugary sweet entered her mind.
"Keep an eye on her," Sephiroth commanded as he massaged his temples. He felt a nasty headache start to develop.
"Whatever," Kadaj said boredly. "Yazoo you get the first shift."
"Right," he checked his side for his gunblade. "Velvet Nightmare should have enough ammunition. Loz you get the next one."
"Yay," the man smiled happily at the thought of playing with his sister.
"On second thought, maybe he shouldn't get the second shift," Kadaj said.
"Awwww," Loz whined.
"I do wonder where that whistle came from," Sephiroth thought to himself.
Yazoo waved bye and quickly ran to catch up with Vincent and Angel, keeping his distance. Vincent continued to walk Angel to get some ice cream when he stopped and looked down at Angel.
"I've been meaning to ask. Where and when did you get this whistle?" Vincent asked.
"My whistle…" Angel mumbled.
Vincent sat down and placed Angel on his lap. Angel pouted but decided to tell him anyway. Yazoo stood and watched as he also listened to where that whistle came from.
"Well since I like to run away and worry everyone I decided to make something so I didn't worry anyone anymore. It was during the time I was alone when we weren't really talking because of the Lucresia thing. I decided that maybe if I make something to call on my brothers or any of my Jenova celled siblings, it would be a great idea," Angel began to explain. "So I made a wish and asked for something that could bring my brothers to my rescue or to my location. I saw this whistle appear right in front of me and heard the Lifestream tell me that this was a responsible wish made by me because I didn't want to worry or make anyone mad at me anymore."
Vincent watched as she messed with her whistle and smiled softly. He kissed her on her forehead and hugged her close. Yazoo smiled and shook his head at his sister's antics.
"So you wanted to summon your brothers but not me or anyone else," Vincent teased her.
"Well sis and I have that telepathic thing and I figured one of the demons who lay inside of you could tell when I was in danger," Angel said, blushing with embarrassment.
Vincent chuckled and shook his head softly. He messed with her wolf ears, causing her to purr and rub her head against his hand.
"If the Lifestream could make us a tracker so we can track your every move and such, I think some of us would be very happy about it," Vincent said as he stood up with her in his arms and walked her to get ice cream.
"I can always ask for a locator ring or something that has my DNA in it and only those who truly care about me can use it," Angel said skipping happily beside him.
"That could work," Vincent said.
"Will you make the wish with me once we get my icecream?" Angel asked with puppy eyes.
"Fine, just don't do that. You know no one can resist those kinds of eyes," Vincent said with a sigh.
"Yazoo come walk with us," Angel called out suddenly.
Yazoo sighed and walked over to them to see Angel smiling happily at him and Vincent smirking.
"You knew I was there," Yazoo stated.
"Your scent never lies," Angel said happily.
"That sounds disturbing," Yazoo mumbled.
Angel pouted cutely as Vincent, her and Yazoo continued to get ice cream. A few minutes later, Vincent handed a sherbert ice cream cone to Angel, who happily ate it. Yazoo shook his head.
"You spoil her."
"But she is too puppy like."
"So is Zack but I don't buy him treats," Yazoo said before shivering at what he just said. "Ew." Angel had a dark look in her eye. "Don't you dare make stories about me," he sneered.
"Oh I won't," she crossed her fingers.
"If you do, Velvet Nightmare goes through your motherboard."
"No please anything but the motherboard."
"I thought so," he grinned.
"No fair! I have nothing to hold over your head," Angel pouted.
"You won't find anything," he smirked. Vincent watched them banter with a soft smile. Everything would work out somehow.
"Meanie," Angel stuck her touge out.
"Keep doing that. You look like a common house dog," he insulted.
"Wolf. I'm a wolf," she snarled.
"Wolves don't have blue anything," he grinned.
"Yeah well...you look like a girl," he flinched.
"Yeah well you look like a pathetic mutt when you beg," Angel snarled.
"Enough you two," Vincent was actually laughing. Angel looked confused.
"Vinnie are you okay," he only laughed harder.
