Chapter 5
The Parts We Need
Cloud and Cid got off their Chocobos and tied them to a nearby tree.
"Yo Cloud, lets split up and try to find the mechanic's shop. Contact me on the PHS if you find one, I'll contact you if I find one."
"Ok." Cloud and Cid divided, Cloud went right, and Cid went left. Both Cid and Cloud waltzed into every door they passed up, hoping to find a mechanic.
About an hour passed... "Yo Cid!" Cloud said into the PHS,"I found one, meet me at the Landing Pad"
"Gotcha!" Cid reached the landing pad before Cloud. Cloud ran up, almost out of breath.
"Cid! DUCK," Cloud yelled.
"Why?"
"NOW!" Cid ducked as quick as he can, just in time for a bullet to skin the top of his head.
"@!$%! That Hurt!"
"Get ready to attack... 1... 2... 3!" Cloud and Cid joined the fray and attacked the hostile soldiers. Cid got hurt enough from that bullet to do his limit break, but he could not do it because the Highwind was broken, he had to save it. A bullet pierced Cloud's foot, building his limit gauge. "You made a BAD mistake! Now time for OMNISLASH!" Cloud unleashed his limit break, OMNISLASH. Blood flew everywhere with each deadly blow Cloud unleashed. Soon, the soldiers were nothing but mincemeat.
"This place sure has changed... wonder why those soldiers were hostile," Cid said.
"They had to be sent out by someone to kill us."
"Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out! Anyway, where is that parts store?"
"Follow me, and keep your eyes open for more soldiers." Cloud and Cid walked over to the mechanic's shop.
"Whatcha need! I have everything from weapons to airship parts," greeted the mechanic.
"We need a few parts for my airship, the Highwind. I need a stabilizer, two jet engines, a new emergency backup system, and about 3000 square feet of metal to repair the gaping hole in the bottom of the airship," Cid said.
"Ok, we have all of that here. That will be about Eighteen Million Gil. Would you like us to deliver it? It is only an additional 3000 Gil per ton. That would come to an additional ... 300,000 Gil."
"Sure, deliver it to Kalm. Think we can hitch a ride on the transporting airship? We have a couple of Chocobos."
"Yeah, I can get you in... but it will cost an additional 10,000 Gil."
"You sure drive a bargain, but we can handle it." Cloud and Cid sleepily walked to the nearest Inn and slept.
They woke up to the whir of the transporting airship. They quickly got all of their clothes on and rushed up to the landing pad. They climbed aboard the airship and took off!
