Vincent's PHS rang. "hello?"

Kali insisted on listening in..and the words from the other side came through rather clearly.

"hi, Vincent...its Cloud. We have a problem. People have reported sightings of..Sephiroth."

A strong but short silence came over Vincent. "fine. Where are you?"

"Midgar. Remember that bar? We are meeting there."

"alright." He hung up.

Kali stood up as he did. "I couldn't help over hearing, and I'd like to go with you! If this Sephiroth guy shows up, maybe I could help! I have a very powerful sword with me...and im a really good swordsman."

He stared at her for a second then nodded. "meet me at the city limits..don't be late. We leave immediately."

She agreed and they both walked off to get their things. It took Vincent longer, because he needed to get his proper clothes on.

They set off silently towards Midgar.

Vincent took this time to notice Kali's extraordinary beauty. Her long brown hair whipped in wind pleasantly as her light aqua eyes shone with hope and eagerness. Her shirt proved to be gray, instead of black, which was Vincent's original thought. The long-sleeved shirt fit on her tightly, but comfortably. Her black pants were also clinging to her nicely, and were tucked into her high, black boots that were some-what like Vincent's.

Her sword was on her left hip, making it obvious that she was right-handed. The sword scabbard looked a little strange though, it was unearthly long. It reminded Vincent of Masamune, which made him shudder.

They finally made it through Midgar, and to Tifa's bar.

"hi Vincent!..hey..whose the girl?" said Cid with a mischievous smile on his face.

"im." Kali started. She noticed Cid's mischievous smile and returned it with her own, then continued. "Kali...Pleased to meet you all.."

She glanced at everyone, who stared at her strangely.

"im cloud." Said cloud, not trusting this new girl. "that's Tifa, Cid, Cait Sith, Barret, Red XIII and..Yuffie? where'd she go?"

Everyone looked around for Yuffie, but then they noticed who Kali started talking to.

"wow, Kali! I haven't seen you in a long time!" squealed Yuffie.

"I know! How's everything in Wutai?"

"great! A little dull without you there, though."

They smiled at each other, then turned to the group to listen in on the conversation they were beginning.

"so, Sephiroth is back?! Who's he plan to freakin' kill this time?!" yelled Cid.

"shhh, Cid!..we're pretty sure that..he's somewhere close to Nibelhiem. Me and cloud were there and we didn't see a thing, but he travels fast.." Said Tifa, glancing at cloud.

"I say that we go to Nibelhiem and try to get rid of him once and for all, again." Said Red XIII.

Everyone but Kali agreed, but no one noticed her lack of agreement.

"Kali." said Cloud, turning in her direction. "are you going to be joining this group?"

"yeah, I guess. It all sounds very interesting."

"ok. Cid, fill her in on the story. Tifa, Barret and I need to discuss some things below.."

Cloud, Tifa and Barret went down the pinball machine elevator and the pinball machine came back up, hiding the entrance to the underground portion.
