How Far Will you go for her? Part 2 of 3
This is the second part of How far will you go for her, so for it to make perfect sense read the first part. Oh yeah I also don't own Final Fantasy and stuff
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
As we left our hero Cloud, he agreed to do a test to prove his eternal love for Aeris, now partnered up with the mysterious and beautiful young woman Sirea, Cloud may have a little more problems on his quest to revive Aeris.....and so our story, continues:
Chapter 3: Trial By Fire.....
*we see our two heroes starting their journey, and the first Tailsmen they are after is the one of fire....*
Cloud: here I am Sirea, let's get started now.....
Sirea: *picks up the staff she was toying with* okay I'm ready too *uses it as a hiking stick*
Cloud: according to the map, the tailsmen of fire is the closest from us, we'll go for that one first
*the two starts their journey and the next surprise comes when Cloud notices*
Cloud: huh? Don't tell me the tailsmen is in there *points to a VERY vast desert*
Sirea: The tailsmen is in there, hope you brought your sunscreen.....
Cloud: funny, very funny.....
*an hour later*
Cloud: things can't get any worse
Sirea: don't feel too bad, we're almost there and quit complaining
Cloud: I'm not, I'm just saying things can't get any worse
*just than a HUGE scorpion monster attacks*
Cloud: I had to go and open my big mouth didn't I?
The Scorpion than lashes it's huge tail at Cloud which he barely has time to dodge, Cloud than draws his Ultima weapon and slashes the giant bug, the huge sword is able to cut through it, but unfortunatley, the clear fluid blood starts squirting right out of it upon it's death all over Cloud.
Cloud: argh, gross *realizes how cool the blood feels on his hot skin* actually to tell you the truth this isn't so bad, it's not slimy and in the extremely hot weather like this, it feels kinda good, almost like some cold water want some Sirea?
Sirea: not on your life, I'm hot too....but there's NO way I'm putting that on me
*than out of mischief, Cloud splashes some on Sirea, Sirea just looks at him stunned*
Cloud: Sirea? Oh I didn't mean to hurt your....
Sirea: *smiles* I'm gonna get you for that Cloud *splashes some on Cloud*
Cloud: *laughing* ahhh I give up, I give up...
Sirea: *laughing* say I'm better
Cloud: okay your better...
Sirea: well I'm glad we have that settled and we cooled off a bit, come on that scorpion was guarding the entrance to the temple, the tailsmen awaits *walks inside*
Cloud: *looks at her* (wow, I'm glad she has a sense of humour....what am I thinking?) *follows her*
The two enter the temple, the temperature inside makes the desert seem like a day at the beach the temperature is almost unbearable
Cloud: man, I'm sweating like crazy, whats making this temple so hot?
Sirea: not sure but I'm guessing the fire guardian...
???: AND WHAT A GOOD GUESS THAT WAS!!!!!
Cloud: huh?
*just than flames coming out of nowhwere seem to join together forming some sort of humanoid made totally out of fire*
Fire: hi, I'm the Fire elemental, you can call me Fire
Cloud: *sarcastically* gee I'm glad your polite
Fire: thank you, I am guessing that your here for the Fire Tailsmen, too bad you have to beat me to get it *starts increasing the flames around his body*
Sirea: CLOUD!!! he's too hot to get close too,
Cloud: your right......what can we do?
Fire: I could beat you easily but I won't yet, why don't you play with one of my scorpion pets?
*another HUGE scorpion than emerges*
Cloud: Sirea, I think I have a plan.....can you keep him busy?
Sirea: *smiles* with pleasure...
*Cloud than sees Sirea begin casting multiple Ice3 spells on Fire, though it isn't stopping him it's slowing him down*
Cloud: man, she's good....
Cloud than executes his plan, he attacks the scorpion but tries not to let it draw blood, he successfully kills it and than aims the huge tail to where Fire is
Cloud: HEY FIRE!!!! Why don't you cool off? *cuts off the tail which sends a huge mass of cool water-like liquid splashing all over fire, soon the flames on him are no longer visible*
Fire: aw man, i'm losing my heat.....
Cloud: now to finish you off, CLIMAHAZZARD *Cloud executes his level 2 Limit break on the "Heatless" fire
Fire: I can't believe you beat me!!! *disappears*
Sirea: great plan Cloud, it worked
Cloud: and there's the tailsmen, *Cloud than picks up a small golden piece that is shaped like a flame* heh, that was easy enough, let's go.....
Chapter 4: This adventure is all washed up
Cloud: *while walking to the next location Cloud examines fire Tailsmen* I can't quite believe this little thing can be worth so much trouble
Sirea: and did you believe something as small as Aeris was able to summon something as big as HOLY?
Cloud: WAIT!!! How'd you know about that?
Sirea: Cloud, what Cetra doesn't know of the noble sacrifice that she went to for the Planet?
Cloud: sure she sacrificed herself, but she didn't realize that in the process she killed someone
Sirea: *sounding worried* oh who?
Cloud: me, I felt like I died on the same day she did
Sirea: Cloud.......you're alive and you should be thankful for that, the fact that we can live our lives everyday is something special
Cloud: not when there is no one to share it with
Sirea: we'll talk later, because we're at the location of the next tailsmen, the water
Cloud: where is it?
Sirea: in there....*points into a rather large pond*
Cloud: in there? *looks in the clear pond and does see some sort of temple in it* yes I do see it, but I don't think EITHER of us can hold our breaths and fight a water guardian that long
Sirea: I was prepared for a situation like this *reaches into her pouch and pulls out a materia and tosses it to Cloud*
Cloud: what's this? HEY it's an underwater materia
Sirea: yeah but unfortunatley I only have one
Cloud: I understand, I'll go in alone you wait here
Sirea: good luck and Cloud?
Cloud: yes?
Sirea: come back in one piece
*Cloud only smiled in response as he dove into the water, thanks to the underwater materia he can breath while underwater, Cloud than reaches the temple itself and enters, Cloud is surprised to see the telmple itself isn't submerged*
Cloud: funny, the temple itself isn't flooded even though it's underwater
*Cloud scans his surroundings and the place gives him the creeps for some reason there are bottled shaped urns surrounding the temple floor*
???: THATS BECAUSE I KEEP THE WATER OUT!!!!
Cloud: are you the next guardian?
Water: yep, you can call me Water
Cloud: I'm going to beat you....
Cloud lunges forward and slashes his Ultima waepon but to his horror it only passes through his liquid body
Water: HA you can't beat water like that, now take this
Water than slams into Cloud with a full force of a tidal wave which sends him flying
Cloud: argh, physical attacks can't hurt this guy but he is liquid, maybe I can....*looks at a bottle shaped urn next to him and gets an idea*
Water: ha ha Cloud's gonna lose *lunges at Cloud*
Cloud: *with lightning fast reflex he grabs an ure next to him and opens the bottle*
Water: wha? *without realizing it goes into the bottle and Cloud closes it shut* HEY LET ME OUT!!!!
Cloud: you've now became a bottled up person, now unless you want to be a genie in a bottle give me the water tailsmen
Water: OKAY OKAY!!!! it's on the shrine
Cloud: *walks up and takes it* okay I've got it *opens the bottle* thanks for being a good sport
Water: you're pretty smart for outsmarting me, I don't mind giving you the tailsmen I hope you do successful in your other tests *disappears*
Cloud: hey he left some of his water in the bottle, this might come in handy *pockets it* well time to go
*when Cloud reaches the surface*
Sirea: did you get it?
Cloud: yep, a pretty wet affair but I got it
Sirea: *rolls eyes* funny, well while you were gone I scouted where the third tailsmen is, it's over there *points to that direction*
Cloud: than let's go
Chapter 5: An earth shattering day
Cloud: The third tailsmen is in this cave, makes sense considering it's the earth tailsmen, this is gonna be easy
Sirea: it's pretty dark
Cloud: you can hold on to me if your scared
Sirea: I face a lot of worse things Cloud, a little darkness isn't going to stop me
Cloud: okay,
Sirea: if I didn't know better I think you were trying to hit on me
Cloud: n-no why would I want to do that?
Sirea: easy Cloud I was only joking
Cloud: oh sorry, it's just that well I miss Aeris that's all
Sirea: we all miss our loved ones when they go, but if we have hope we can go on, sometimes Cloud, hope is the only thing we havein this world
Cloud: thanks....
???: touching
Cloud: why can't you guardians ever confront me face to face
Earth: I probably would BUT IT'S NO FUN THAT WAY!!!!!! I'M EARTH AND I'M GONNA BEAT YA!!!!!
Cloud: yeah right, METEORAIN
Cloud leaps into the air and sends some small meteors at Earth but they unfortunatley only smash on impact
Cloud: DAMN
Earth: I'm made of really hard clay, not even those can hurt me now let me show you what I can do *pounds the grounds causing REALLY big stalatites to fall*
Cloud: *dodges one* woah *notices one is about to fall on Sirea* SIREA!!!!!! *is able to move her out of the way* that was close....you okay?
Sirea: yes, thank you....Cloud I....
Cloud: save it for later, this thing is tough, wait he said he was made out of clay, I think I have an idea *Cloud takes out the urn of water he took from the water temple and splashes it all over Earth, but because it came from the Water elemental it is almost like a sea splashing*
Earth: WHAT IS THIS?!! I'm melting....
Cloud: well, that's the way the cookie crumbles I'm afraid, Sirea turn up the heat
Sirea: gladly, FLARE
*the spell is slowly heating him up to a tatue but before he is fully baked he asys one last thing*
Earth: you won't be laughing when you take on the fourth elemental *melts away*
Cloud: well, here's the earth tailsmen, one more to go....Sirea?
Sirea: yes?
Cloud: you did a great job, you also wanted to tell me something?
Sirea: it wasn't important....come on it's getting late I know a town close to here we can turn into for the night, in the morning we can continue our journey, we ARE alomst done...
Chapter 6: a night's interlude
*sure enough Sirea was right, there was a town and they both checked into an inn, that night at the inn*
Cloud: Sirea? I realized we did quite a bit together but I barely know you, want to tell me about yourself...
Sirea: what is there to know? I lived on the Planet as a Cetra and than I died, and here I am in the Promised Land there
Cloud: I'm sure there's more to it than that, we all have our stories
Sirea: all right, I lived on the Planet and lived a good life, but no matter how I looked at it, it wasn't perfect
Cloud: why?
Sirea: well, I never found true happiness....
Cloud: why's that?
Sirea: I just couldn't okay?
Cloud: you don't have to tell me if you don't want to,
Sirea: no, I guess I can tell you, I felt like I was always alone, when I got attached to someone I always seemed to lose that person, I just hated that....
Cloud: we're never alone, that is what Aeris always hinted to me and I feel she's right, because I feel her presence so close to me watching me, I let her down once, I am going to restore her life and right the wrongs I did to her
Sirea: Cloud, no man deserves to put themselves through the pain you put yourself, what happened I'm sure, no I know wasn't your fault you couldn't have prevented it
Cloud: NO THAT'S NOT TRUE!!! SHE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME!!!! I love her, I can't bear to live without her....that is pain enough, when she died I felt like a part of me was ripped out I cant'....
Sirea: *whispers* Cloud, don't worry everything will be okay....I can guess that she lives with a similar pain living without the one she loves
Cloud: Sirea?
Sirea: yeah?
Cloud: thank you, your a great friend...
Sirea: your welcome, well I'm going to take a walk for a while and reflect on life *leaves*
Cloud: she is so kind, gentle and a really beautiful person to be with, can it be possible? Have I actually fallen in love with another woman other than Aeris? NO it can't be
To be continued: Has Cloud fallen in love with Sirea? Will he ever see Aeris again? Find out next time when Cloud battles the fourth elemental and faces his GREATEST challenge ever.
Well I hoped you like what's happening so far, Cloud is having an inner conflict with himself about who he loves but the question is to whom? Please read and review and if you have ANY ideas for a sequel to Sleeping Beauty that would also be greatly appreciated, like I need names for friends for Iris, well peace :)
This is the second part of How far will you go for her, so for it to make perfect sense read the first part. Oh yeah I also don't own Final Fantasy and stuff
