The Beast Within
Me: Hi people, this is a new story that I felt like writing because chapter 6 of 7 days of chaos is under reconstrution because first version the of it SUCKED! Anyway, in this new story Cloud finds a way to revive Areis with a newly discovered materia type but something goes wrong and Cloud gains the body of a were-lion and continuies his quest and is faced with a difficult choice.
Cloud: What is it?
Me:I can't tell you that.
Aeris' ghost: Listen to shadow lurker, he knows all.
Cloud: okay... do a disclaimer
Me:I don't own FF7, square does.
chapter 1:The amber materia and a transformation
Cloud Strife stood on the deck of what was left of the Highwind after the events at the north crator.
"What's up Spike?" a very tired Cid asked Cloud.
"Just thinkin," Cloud answered.
" 'bout Aeris, right?" the foul-mouthed man answered.
"Ya'," the swordsman answered.
"Damnit, Cloud, you have to get on with your !#$& life!" the pliot told him.
"I know, it's just a little hard..." he said saddly.
Cid just walked away at this comment and about five minuites later an excited Nanaki tackled the swordsman
"Nanaki, what the hell," he asked.
"I found a new type of materia that's more powerful than all the others put together!" the beast sang out.
"What does it do?" Cloud asked.
"If we gather three more amber materia we will be able to make one single wish," Nanaki stated.
An idea sprung into Cloud's mind.
(((( Highwind briefing room 20 minuties later))))
"I called you all here first to say that ya' all did good, and second Red XIII and I have found a way to bring Areis back," he announced
"Really?" Yuffie asked.
"Yes," Nanaki answered. "The new materia I found will make sure of that,"
Tifa felt her heart rise and sink. On the upside she would have her best friend back but ,on the downside, She would never have cloud back.
(((( Six weeks later))))
Cloud and the rest of AVALANCHE ran through a dim passage and as the area opened into a round room only Cloud could enter. As he looked toward the center there layed the amber materia. He then proceded to pick it up and felt a wave of pain seep over his body.
Tifa tried to rush towards Cloud as she saw a wave of pain crawl onto his face but was held back by Vincent grabing her arm.
"We cannot help him," he said in his usual monotone.
Cloud's body was changing (Me: peuberty?) he glanced at his hands and saw fur. The pain stopped. He stood to his full height and he ran a hand through his hair. He noticed that they were no longer in unruly spikes but a smooth mane. He also realized that he was standing about two feet taller than he normaly was. His shirt had been ripped to bits and that his ultima wepon was gone leaving only him, his pants and his bangle.
He rose a hand to his face and noticed it was pushed foward on the mouth and that his ears had been changed into cat ears and were on the top of his head. He walked outside of the force field and continuied to walk, AVALANCHE following in the beast's wake.
Me:That's alllll folks!
Cloud: I'm a badass lion!
