The next morning everyone was on the Highwind, along with Reno, heading to the Northern Crater. "Why are we going back there?" Yuffie had whined.
"Maybe we'll find out why the Weapons were brought back," was all Cloud had said and jumped onto the airship. So had everyone else, so now they were all heading back to the large hellhole up north.
She was standing by the engines, puking into them, as usual. Everyone else was up in
the cockpit. Suddenly a violent wave struck the ship, and they all went tumbling.
"Eeek!" Yuffie shreiked and almost landed in a pile of her own bile. Forgetting her sickness (again) she ran up front and yelled, "The hell was that for!?"
"Something hit us!" Cid snapped. "What the-??!"
The Emerald Weapon burst out of the water, roaring. "Ah.... Who wants to go fight it?" Tifa asked timidly.
"I am," snapped Reno.
"Same. So, it's Reno, me, and who else?" Cloud said.
"I will, I guess. I wanna see what this Weapon's prob is," Yuffie mumbled. Everyone was surprised that she volunteered, but no one disagreed with her. She followed Cloud and Reno numbly up to the deck, feeling odd. Shaking it off, she pulled out her Conformer and stood in a battle stance.
The Emerald Weapon roared again, and instantly casted Aire Tam on them. Cloud used Final Attack with Phoenix, instantly bringing them back to life and injuring the Weapon a bit. "Yuffie! Do you have Knights?"
She checked quickly and said, "Yeah, and Quadra! Ultimate End!" She casted Knights of the Round 4 times in a row, making the Weapon scream at the end of the attacks. It used Emerald Beam on Cloud and Reno casted Neo Bahamut on it. Cloud healed himself and Yuffie casted Knights again.
That was it for the Weapon, and it used Aire Tam again. As Cloud automatically used Phoenix, the Weapon reached out one of it's long claws and scooped up the unconcious Reno.
"Hey! The hell-?!" Cloud yelled after reviving himself and Yuffie.
"What does it want with him!?" she cried.
Emerald Weapon seemed to stare at Yuffie strangely for minute, then turned and splashed into the water, heading south.
"Is it going to Midgar?" Cloud yelled, running back down to the cockpit. "Follow it!"
"Already am," Cid said shortly, steering the Highwind after it.
Yuffie sat down with a Tranquilizer outside on the deck still, thinking. "Vincent, RedXIII, Reeve, Reno, Rude, Elena. What do they have in common? They all have something to do with the Shinra... but something else...." She drew a pretend line on the cold metal floor. "Red was being used in an experiment, Cloud was an ex-Soldier, Vincent, Reno, Rude and Elena were Turks, and Reeve was the head of the Midgar Development thingie. Red has Mako, and Vincent, and Cloud... and the Turks?" She stood up. "Urkk!"
Wyona walked up the stairs. "Seryl! Is he alive?"
Seryl looked at her, not very happy. "Barely. We need all of them alive, Wyona. If even one is dead, it will never work."
She said, "I know that. I'm not a baby. They pissed me off."
He raised an eyebrow. "It takes a lot to piss you off. What did they do?"
"Knights of the Round, linked with Quadra. Some little girl casted it twice." She stopped. 'That headband and weapon... it was familiar. Why?'
"What's wrong?" Seryl asked. "Why are you so quiet suddenly?"
"Nothing. Cloud Strife's the last one?"
"Yes."
"Where's Odine and Hojo?"
"Odine left for Esther."
"Where's that?"
"Got me. I thought we knew everything, but I guess not."
Wyona sighed and changed the subject again. "They all have Mako and Jenova cells?"
Nod. "Enough Jenova to finish what we were made to do."
"No. We were created to protect the Planet, not destroy it, Seryl. As soon as Hojo's defeated, I'm leaving."
"Who says they'll defeat him? He'll want us to fight in his place."
"Wuss."
"What can we do?" Seryl and Wyona watched as a blonde girl stirred and groaned. "We can't go against him yet."
"Yet."
"What about Eric?"
"I guess he's gonna help us, since, in a way, he's our father."
She turned away. "I don't ever want him to be my father. I hate him so much! He always avoids those question we have; about his past...."
"So? He has a right."
"Don't you think it's odd? He did mention something about a Miss Kisaragi, but she's now a member of Avalanche, right?" Seryl stared stonily at one of the people tied to a table, cutting himself from her. Wyona groaned. "I'll be out in Midgar."
"No you won't."
She turned to face him, angry. "Why not?"
He was staring out a small window. "C'mon." Seryl ran to the stairs with Wyona behind him.
"What? Where are we going?"
"The old office." They entered ex-President Shinra's office and looked out the large windows. The Highwind was in the horizen. "Guess we don't need to hunt down Cloud Strife after all," Seryl said, smirking.
"They'll come to us, and we'll help Hojo unleash the Jenova onto the Planet again,"
Wyona said in a monotonous voice. "Easy enough."
"We will help rule the world."
"Jenova is the Planet's enemy. We are the Planet's anti-body. If we release the Jenova, it will kill us," Wyona realized with a start.
"No, it won't. Hojo will make sure."
"You believe the old bag? Sad."
"Who cares. They're coming. Get ready, you're fighting first."
"No, I don't want to fight them."
"You will. And we'll unleash the Jenova; there's no Ancients left to destroy it."
"Or Meteor." Wyona stared at the approaching airship. She sighed. "Do what you want. Where is Hojo, anyway?"
"Down on the 62nd level. Go warn him they are coming."
Wyona started down the stairs. "Hojo...."
I fixed chapter 7, I made a slight typo... and I finally posted this one. I can't wait for this Saturday!! I just love Bethany Beach. Anyway, I'll reeeally try hard to finish this soon. And I was thinking of doing a sequel when I'm done this, but maybe not. Okay... bye-bye
