Wyona glared at Hojo. "No... I won't let you!" She swung a punch at Hojo.

He dodged, pulled out a new controller and hit a button. She opened her eyes and mouth, but no sound came out as she fell to the ground, unconcious.

Yuffie stared in shock. "Yumi!!"

The rest of Avalanche barrelled up to them at that moment. Cid glared at Hojo. "The hell-? I thought we @#$%^&* killed you!"

He smiled thinly. "You thought wrong."

Seryl leaned down to Wyona. "You bastard." He said it through gritted teeth. "We trusted you... and now..."

"You'll die once I unleash the Jenova," Hojo sneered. "What a pity. You were both so promising too... just like Sephiroth was." He pushed the button again, and Seryl collapsed too.
Then he grabbed Cloud and disappeared into thin air.

Tifa gasped. "Hojo... what does he want with Cloud?"

Yuffie ran to the Weapons. "Yumi! Ayumi! Wake up!!"

Wyona moaned, and opened her eyes so they were narrow green slits. "Hojo's... downstairs...." she murmured. "He's... going to extract the Jenova... and Mako... to resurrect.. the Jenova...." She closed her eyes.

"Resurrect that alien @#$%^&*%!?" Barret cursed.

"That'd explain why only certain people were kidnapped! C'mon! We have to save
Cloud and the others!" Tifa cried. She, Barret and Cid ran to the stairs. Yuffie lingered behind, staring at Seryl and Ayumi's motionless bodies.

"Where do you think you're going, Miss Kisaragi? Don't you want revenge for my sister's murder mystery?" Eric sneered, appearing in front of the stairs, blocking her way up.

"Eric... you're sick," she hissed through clenched teeth. She may had only been 2, almost 3 years old, but she could remember the pain when she had heard about Ayumi's death. "You made Ayumi break her promise... now you'll pay!" Yuffie flung the Conformer at his neck; he dodged and came towards her.

"Leviathan!" he casted, and Yuffie got hit by what felt like an angry river.

"Screw you! Knights of the Round!" she casted. Eric was only a normal human, so the max his HP could be was 9,999. Right?

Eric was barely standing after King Arthur finished his attack. "Yuffie.. I stopped Ayumi. That's all I did. If I hadn't, she would've killed Sephiroth... and eventually Shinra would've fallen without him...."

"Exactly! It's all you fault this happened! If you'd let Ayumi kill Sephiroth, then Aeris would still be alive! Nibelheim would've never been burned down! Wutai would still be proud! And more importantly, Ayumi would still be alive!" Yuffie let loose a torrent of lightning, and Eric screamed. "I hate you!!"

Yuffie breathed hard. Eric's charred, motionless body layed in front of the stairs. She carefully stepped over him, and went down to join her friends, praying that Ayumi would be alright for now.

She saw Tifa, Cid and Barret standing across from Hojo, who was holding a needle, cackling. Then she noticed the missing members of Avalanche and the Turks in Mako-filled tubes along the opposite wall. And the Jenova head, in another Mako tube, staring into nothingness.

"Grossness," she whispered.

Hojo cackled loudly. "Say good-bye to your friends... they won't be able to live without the Mako and Jenova cells!" He thrust the needle into Cloud, who groaned, and some strange goo started flowing out of him.

Tifa snarled. "You son-of-a-bitch!"

"I think I'll let the Weapons play with you a bit in their human forms.... Wyona! Seryl! Give these measly, filthy humans what they deserve!!"

Wyona and Seryl appeared in the front of them suddenly. Her eyes were a pale white-green, and his were pale silver. Tifa, Cid and Barret got into fighting positons.

"Yuffie," Tifa hissed, "go and try to get Cloud and the others out. We'll hold off the Weapons, but we won't be able to do it alone."

"Right," she said, and ran up to Cloud.

Hojo blocked her way. "Going somewhere?"

"Yeah. Up yer ass and 'round the corner!" Hojo blinked. Yuffie's limit reached it's max. "All Creation!" she shouted, and attacked him with a beam of energy.

Hojo frowned, and without saying a word injected some Jenova cells into himself.

"Not this time!" Yuffie cried. Cloud was looker even weaker. "Typoon!" As the small summon monster from the frog forest attacked Hojo, she went around and jerked the needle out of Cloud. He groaned and looked up at her.

"Yu.. Yuffie?"

She turned around, not answering him. Typoon finished, and Hojo glared at her. "Not very useful, compared to my new powers!" A tentacle tore through his coat, and slapped Yuffie down. She managed to get back up; it did 3,000 to her.

"Bahamut!" she casted and turned back to Cloud. The summons were draining her power, but keeping Hojo busy.

"Cure3," Cloud casted suddenly, weakly gripping his Ultima Weapon.

"Thanks Cloud. Go free the others, quick!"

"No!!" The Hojo-Jenova creature growled, and flicked a tentacle as Bahamut finished his attack. With a shudder, wires in the Mako tubes attached themselves to the person that was inside.

"Shit!" Cloud mumbled, and headed for the nearest one.

Hojo raised a tentacle, and aimed it to go straight through Cloud. Yuffie casted, "Bahamut ZERO!" As this monster kept him busy, Cloud broke into Vincent's chamber and Yuffie did the same to Reeve's.

Tifa let out a cry at that moment, startling them. The Weapons were standing over them, victorious, and about to deliver the final blow.

"Sleepel!" Cloud casted. The behind attacked worked, and the Weapons fell down in a deep slumber.

Hojo slapped Yuffie with another tentacle, which she barely managed to survive. "Alright dick-head, you asked for it! Knights of the Round!" she casted again.

Cloud tore the wires off of Vincent, and took him out of the chamber, laying him carefully on the ground. "Cure3," he said again to Yuffie and started on Elena. Yuffie took out Reeve, and went to work on smashing open RedXIII's tube and pulling him out.

"Gawd, this feline needs a diet!"

Cloud smiled thinly. Yuffie noticed Tifa, Barret, and Cid walking slowly to the tubes, obviously in great pain, but still willing to help their friends out. "Regen-All!" she casted on them, and they quickly started to heal. They all started on smashing the tubes open, but Yuffie sensed the Knights leave and she turned back to Hojo.

"Mime!" a new voice croaked, and they appeared again. Hojo let out a howl. Vincent lowered his arm, exhausted after being stranded in the Mako tubes and the wires trying to suck out his life.

"Thanks, Vinnie! I owe ya one!" Yuffie said. A noise made her turn around and stare in fear. Wyona and Seryl were awake, with the same look in their eyes, that they were being controlled by Hojo. And they were staring straight at Yuffie.



Longer than my other chapters, ne? I felt like working on the sequel for the past few weeks, so... I did. I finished it, so as soon as I'm done this I'll add in a few bonus chapters, then the sequel. Thanx for the few reviews, I really want more, but as long as some people do read and appreciate this, I'll continue writing. ^.^ Laterz

P.S. In case if it isn't very obvious, I totally suck at battle scenes.... . (not constupated!)
