The Search~

A misty drizzle fell opon the blue/grey mountain as the group of adventure's traveled. The ground was muddy and slipperey,
"Now this is grose" commented Yuffie as she nearly sunk a ft in a mud puddle.
"You just need to grow a bit!" called Cid from up ahead. Yuffie spotted the grey haired man and stuck her tounge out in defience. He simply laughed and started off again.
"Cloud? Are you sure we're going the right way?" called Red as Cait Sith helped him out of a mud puddle he got bogged in.
"We haven't even reach the laberenth yet!" called Cloud from the front of the group.
"Hey Cloud!" called Tifa as she ran past the other member's to the front of the group, "Don't we have to go down near the old bridge to get to the laberenths?" she panted as she caught her breathe.
"Oh" Cloud commented, scratching his head. Realising that when he got to the bridge. He forgot that there wasn't a bridge anymore.
"Yeh Oh!", she put her hands on her hips, "Now how are we suppose to get to the laberenth?" Red walked up beside the thinking duo. He looked down the slight slope and noticed a large ledge directly under him. With one leap, he landed gracefully on the ledge below.
"We'll do it the old fassion way, Climb!" he called.
"I'm not climbing down there!" protested Yuffie as she folded her arms. Vincent was the next to go down. He started to climb down, his 'deformed' arm grasping onto the rocks with ease. He made it to the first ledge and kept going.
"Why is he so quiet all of a sudden?" she asked Cloud. He simply shrugged and started down himself. Cait Sith hepled Tifa down while Barrett went next with Yuffie. Cid was the last to go.
"This is going to take forever" he complained. An idea came across his mind while he looked at one of the large bridge planks.
"Hmm" he smiled.
Red and Vincent were just about at the bottom when the heard a loud cheer from above.
"YEEEEEHAAAA!!"
They both looked up to find Cid sliding full speed down the slope on one of the bridge planks.
"Look out below!!" he called as he sped past Barrett and Yuffie,
"Look out Cid! Yer crazy old Cooke!" yelled Barrett,
"Now why didn't I think of that?" commented Yuffie. Cid continued to speed down the slope. Narrowly missing Cait Sith and Tifa who nearly slipped from the force of him flying past. But he collected and unfortunate Clound, who was un-aware of Cid coming. Cloud was knocked clean off his feet and flipped into the air. He was quick with his reflexes though. He quickly turned and grabbed Cid's sholder. Cid held his hand there and Cloud crouched bahind the driver.
"Good catch!" commented Cid,
"Crazy driver!" joked Cloud and they were getting closer to the bottom, "How are we gonna stop?"
"Umm, good question" Cid commented but it was too late. The sped straight off the slope and into a deep mud pit, stoppuing them suddenly. This catapolted the two bobsledder's into the air and face first into the clay.
Red and Vincent who were already down, ran over to their aid. The other 4 roared in laughter as the walked over. Cloud was the first to come to, he rolled over in the mud,
"Ow, my head" he complained as he rubbed his head.
"Whoa! What a ride!" cheered Cid as he sat up. Barrett trudged into the mud and helped the 2 out of the mess. Cloud and Cid were now a nice shade of blue/grey from the clay.
"Did the map survive?" questioned Vincent. Cloud looked up from trying to brush himself off and searched in his many pockets. A sigh of relief came over the group as he pulled it out and unfolded it. It was a little stained, but still readable.
"Well, let's keep moveing" Cloud stated as he headed up one of the many paths, following the map's direction. They came to a cave entrence and walked straight in. The cave was lite up by a mystirious yellow glow. It was the crystelised Make embedded in all th walls. The group comtinued on. Tifa stopped for a moment and ran her hand allong one of the glowing crystals. The glowing seemed to engulf her hand like a flame.
"Beutiful aren't they" a voice commented behind her. She turned only to find Vincent gazing at the crystals.
"Yes, thay are" she answered as she turned back to them, "Um ,Vincent?"
"Yes?" he intense dark eyes focusing on her's.
"Are you alright? You don't seem to be your normal self?". Vincent simply smiled,
"I'm fine" he commented, "Now come on, or we'll lose them". Tifa didn't believe him but she went allong any how.
