My Mentor…
Misty was half way to Cosmo Canyon when she saw some girl with two huge robotic like monsters. She saw the girl struggle with the two monsters. She had a tall staff. It was about 6'1". She wore a long pink dress, a red vest, and brown work boots. As Misty got closer she realized who it was. "Oh shit! Aerith!" She sprinted towards her and brought out her Katanas as she ran towards Aerith. "Here I come, Aerith!" She jumped up into the air and stabbed one in the back. As she pulled the sword down and out of it the other one began to charge towards Misty.
As she jumped out of it's way and began to cast a Thunder 2 spell. As the green light, from the materia, circled around her, she began to float as the spell was being summoned. As the breeze picked up into a hurricane her hair floated around her. As clouds gather above, thunder sounded from above then a large bolt of lightning hit the robot. As the robot struggled to stay alive and fight it came closer to Misty. It began to lift its arm to shoot her it began to stall then it finally died out. She fell perfectly on her feet.
"Thank you, Misty." Aerith swiped a piece of hair from her face. "I thought I was a goner, Then I heard you… You saved my life." She looked at her hand. There was blood on her fingertips. "I guess I got hit." She smiled.
"I think you got more then hit." Misty walked forward and looked at the cut on Aerith's forehead. "Come here." She began to walk to a near by stream. "Wash you cut out here. And I'll see if I can cast a Cure spell on you. I'm running low on Magic Points." She looked at Aerith again. "Why where you out here?"
"I came looking for you guys then those idiots came out of nowhere." She kneeled next to the stream. She scooped up some water in her hand. "Oh here." She pulled out a light blue bottle. "Don't worry, it's MP reviver." She kept on washing the cut out and flinching at the same time.
"Thanks." She opened the light blue bottle and smelled it. It gave a beautiful smell. It smelled of roses, rain, and the ocean at the same time. She drank half of it. Then she noticed Aerith flinching. "Thank you. Are you O.k.?" She kneeled next to Aerith.
"Yeah. I'm fine. It just stings a little." She smiled.
Misty got up. "Here let me try my Cure spell now." She closed her eyes and began to mumble words. Her eyelashes began to flutter, and then they shot open. She then threw her hands up into the air. "Cure!" Green light circled around her again. Then they moved over to Aerith and disappeared into her.
Aerith's eyes were closed then fluttered open when the light went into her. "Ah! Thank you." She put her hand up on her forehead. "It's gone."
Misty smiled. "Well, I seem to be getting the hang of using the spells again."
"MISTY!!! AERIS!!!"
Aerith got up and dusted herself off. Misty and Aerith turned towards Nibelbeim. It was Cloud and Vincent. They were running towards them. Misty turned back to the stream. She kneeled down and pulled out her swords and put them in the water. She began to scrub them. There was dry blood from Jenova. Most of it was burned off from the robots. But she continued to scrub them. Black, pink, and red began to fill the stream.
"Misty, what happened to you?" Cloud came up from behind her.
Misty laughed. "Well for starters, I came out here and saw Aerith with two huge robot monster things, almost got ran over by one, almost shot down, practically use up all of my MP. Then she had a big gash on her head, so I heal it. Then before all that was dandy. So other then that I'm fine." She laughed again.
"Cloud I think we all need to rest." Vincent raised one eyebrow. "What are you doing out here?" He turned and looked at Aerith.
"I came to look for you guys."
"You shouldn't be out here by yourself." Vincent crossed his hand in front of his chest.
"Yeah, but Tifa wanted me to look for you guys."
"Why?" Misty stepped in.
"I think to tell Cloud something about Nibelbeim."
"Why didn't she come?"
"She was but something weird happened to her she passed out. So I decided to come for that reason." Aerith looked at Cloud, Vincent, then Misty.
Cloud shook his head. "Damn, Tifa…" Then he ran back to Cosmo Canyon.
Vincent, Misty, and Aerith all looked at each other.
"I think it's serious this time." Aerith looked down at the ground. There was a worm crawling around.
"I doubt it." Vincent shook his head. "Com' on, lets go." He wove his hand in the air motioning for them to start walking.
Aerith looked at Misty. "It's O.k. half the time we don't even understand her." Aerith continued walking.
Misty stopped right in her tracks. She can read my mind… Misty looked at Aerith oddly then continued to walk back to Cosmo Canyon.
Cloud ran into the home of Bugenhagen and saw Red XIII, Barret, Cait Sith, Cid and Yuffie standing on the first level of Bugenhagen's house. They all turned around to look at him. Cloud was out of breath. "Where is she?" He breathed out.
Barret walked up to Cloud. "She up on the second floor. She's doing fine. Bugenhagen said she should be ready when we are going to leave for Gold Saucer." Barret looked down at the floor. "I think you can go up there and see her, if you want."
Cloud shook his head. "No, I have to prepare for Gold Saucer. We all should begin to prepare for Gold Saucer. Misty and Vincent are getting ready down stairs. I think we all should do the same." Cloud turned to the door. He opened it and began to walk out.
"What about Tifa?" Barret ran over to Cloud. He grabbed Cloud's shoulder and swung him around. "We can't just leave her here."
"If she not better when we're ready, no, if anyone is not ready, we're leaving. They can catch up later." Cloud brushed Barret's hand off his shoulder. "I want to find Sephiroth soon. I want him dead." He turned back around and continued to walk out.
Barret stomped his foot. "Damn you Cloud…"
Misty and Vincent were sitting outside by the bond fire putting Elixirs, Megalixirs, Ethers, Turbo Ethers, Potions, Hi-Potion, X-Potions, and Phoenix Downs, Luck Sources, Speed Sources, Mind Sources, Guard Sources, and Power Sources in their bags. Vincent put some Remedies, Smoke Bombs, Hero, and Speed drinks in his bag. Misty had one white, one black, one red, and one orange bottle out. She left out a Remedy, Luck Sources, Speed Sources, Mind Sources, Guard Sources, Power Sources, Hi-Potion, Phoenix Down, Elixir, Hero, and Speed drinks out. She looked at Vincent.
Misty brought out a piece of paper. It said:

Misty began to mix up the ingredients when Cloud came up to her. She looked up at him but continued to mix the ingredients. She looked at Vincent who looked at Cloud then back at Misty. "What do you want Cloud?" She said while she mixed the ingredients. "Did you come to pester me about what I'm doing or about my memories?" She looked up at him showing no feelings.
"I came to tell you if you guys aren't ready when I am…"
"You'll leave without us." Misty looked at Cloud.
"Yeah…"
"Well, Aerith, Vincent and I have other plans. We are going to Junon to see what we can find then take the sub to Costa del Sol and see if Rufus is still there. We want to if some information on Jenova and Sephiroth." Misty looked at Vincent.
"And from who?" Cloud crossed his arms in front of him.
"Shin- Ra, Rufus, you know, the usual." Misty finished up mixing the ingredients.
"You think you can just waltz right into Rufus's Beach home?" Cloud put his hands on his hips.
"Yup."
"Your crazy."
"Nope, smart. Watch just watch. I'll get some more information on Jenova and Sephiroth." Misty put the bottles in her bag. "So you can leave with or with out us."
"We'll drop you guys off in Junon." Cloud walked away.
"See you in half an hour!" Misty hollered.
Half an hour later…
As soon as everyone boarded the Highwind, Cid's student took off at Cloud's command. They headed for Junon.
"You think you'll be Ok Tifa?" Barret was sitting next to Tifa. "You can stay on board the Highwind, it might be better until you heal, mentally, k?" Barret put his arm around her.
Tifa shook it off. "I'm fine, really. I can make it." Tifa put her head down, then got up, and walked next to Cloud who was next to Misty, Vincent, and Aerith. They were all looking out the window. "Were are we headed?"
"Junon." Misty looked at Tifa. "And then you guys are going to Gold Saucer." Misty continued to look out the big window in front of the Highwind.
"What are you guys going to do there?" Tifa looked out the window too.
Misty turned her slowly to Tifa. "It doesn't concern you." She said coldly. "And if you're thinking of going with us… think again. I don't want you to be in the way." Misty's eyes were like ice. "But to keep on a high note, don't get in my way." Misty turned and walked towards Cid.
Tifa stood there with nothing to say. She went to Cloud. "What wrong with her?" She looked at Cloud then at Misty who was talking to Cid.
"She doesn't like you." Cloud kept his eyes out the window.
"Obviously, but I mean… I don't know. She like, read my mind." Tifa looked at the ground then back at Cloud. "She's scaring me." She grab onto Cloud's shoulder for comfort.
"Yeah, so she has the tendency to read minds. She doesn't trust you." Cloud shook off Tifa's grip. "And she won't trust you."
"And I trust her??? She trust all of you guys but yet not me." Tifa stared at Cloud. "I don't get it. Why, though? Why is she being like this?"
Cloud chuckled a little. "She thinks you're a tramp, slut, and a hoe."
"And you know this by…"
"The way I act towards you…" Tifa and Cloud turned around to see who it was. Misty. She had a smile spread across her face. "Don't act surprised. Look at the way you treated me when I was half dead on the beach. The way you dress. You have your boobs so far out there you don't need to use your fist." Misty's eyes brightened more. They brightened to the color of Mako.
"And you?" Tifa put her hands on her lips.
They all felt a rattle under their feet. The Highwind landed outside the outskirts of Junon.
"Girls take it outside…" Cid began to push both of them outside. "I don't want anything to brake or get scratched in here." He opened the Highwind door to the deck. "Now, I want a good, clean fight. None of that cat scratching, unless it's absolutely necessary. Now… FIGHT!!!" Cid moved away from them.
Everyone gathered around Misty and Tifa. Tifa and Misty stood there looking at each other.
"I'm not going to fight her." Misty looked at Tifa. "She's to easy." She smiled devilishly. "I kick her ass like that." She snapped her fingers together.
Tifa backed up. "What? You are a stupid bitch for saying that!!!" Tifa put her fist up.
Misty laughed. She brought out her two Katanas and gave them to Vincent. "Well, I am a bitch but I'm not stupid like you." She stepped towards Tifa. "See, if I were you. I would have backed off." She looked down then back up to Tifa. "Now you saw what happened to Yuffie, right? Well, it's going to happen to you but ten times harder." She flung her arm wide open. "You hit me first."
Tifa looked around at everybody. She stepped forward and caught a blow to her head. Tifa fell to the floor on her side.
"Too slllooowww!" Misty began to laugh. "Get up. I didn't hit you that hard. I just hit you with the palm of my hand." She smiled.
Tifa tried to get up. There was a sharp hard throbbing on the right side of her head. Misty hit her right on the temple of her head. Tifa slowly got up, trying not to fall again. She was swaying from side to side. Then she fell again blacking out.
"Well, I'd love to stay a continue this glorious fight but… I got to go. Come on Vincent and Aerith, lets move along." She got her Katanas from Vincent. "See ya'll lates!" She jumped on the ladder and slid down. Vincent and Aerith followed.
Everyone else bent over and around Tifa.
"Knock out… round one to Misty." Cid looked down at her. Everyone else looked at him. "What?"
"Never mind." Cloud looked at Cid then at Tifa. "Lets bring her in." He picked Tifa up and walked back inside.
"Did you see that blow!?!? I mean it didn't look like it would hurt, but man… that was way cool!!!" Yuffie jumped up and down.
"Yuffie," Cid rolled his eyes.
"What?"
"Shut the fuck up." Cid walked inside with everyone else.
As Aerith, Vincent, and Misty walked into Junon they saw two men dressed in blue uniforms. They appeared to be talking about the parade that had just happened. Then they turned their attention to Aerith, Misty, and Vincent. One soldier with two stars walked up towards them.
"What are you here for?" He had a deep strong voice.
Misty stepped forward. "To see the parade." She smiled.
He looked over at his partner. "It's over."
"Oh, well that's too bad. But can I go up and look around?" She put her hands behind her back and began to swing forward. "Please?" She smiled flirtatiously.
He wove his partner over. He began to whisper to him. "You and who?"
"These other two silly!" She giggled.
"Ummm," He turned back to his partner. "Can we see some ID?" He looked at Misty.
"Uh-huh," She turned her back and swung back around with one of her Katanas and stabbed both officers. She smiled at them. "You should have just let us through." She bent over the officer with the stars on his shoulder and got his keys. "Tootles." Misty, Aerith, and Vincent stepped over them.
"That was uncalled for." Vincent said as he past over the bodies.
"Yes it was." She stopped and turned to look at Vincent. "Would you want them to know who we are? Do you want us to be hunted down here?" She was in Vincent's face. "We could have been killed if they told others that we are here."
"Yeah, but now they will know we're here for sure." Vincent stepped back. "We might not get away now."
Misty laughed. "We will, believe me we will." She turned back around and continued to walk towards the huge brownish-tan army base. As she approached the doors for the elevator, she put in a key for the door and elevator. The doors flew open. "Com' on. This is our way up." She stepped inside the huge doors. There was a set of controls in the elevator. "Ready?" She pushed a button and the doors slammed shut, which made them all jump. The elevator began to move. Then another pair of doors flew open. Misty casually stepped out. She smelt the air. "Ah! Let's go find the submarine dock." She began to walk to some doors up ahead on the left side of the elevator.
"The dock should be down a tunnel." Vincent stepped out on to the military bases shops. "There! Straight ahead is the tunnel. We go in there then make a left down the tunnel to the submarines." Vincent looked at Misty.
"Good. Let's go!" She ran towards the tunnel. Aerith and Vincent followed. She ran in the tunnel. She saw a door on the wall across the left side end of the tunnel. "This is it?" She looked at Vincent.
He nodded. "Yeah. Be careful, there might be guards down there." He walked in front of her and let the door automatically open. He peered his head in and looked around. "Nobody, yet." He stepped in.
There were more doors down the halls they walked through. And finally a sub was waiting for them. They all smiled. They began to walk towards the sub when all of a sudden something or someone knocked them back and down.
"What the…" Misty shook her head and looked up to the thing that knocked them down. "Who are you???" Misty's face was pale.
"Ohmygod… Sephiroth…" Aerith put her hands over her mouth.
Sephiroth smiled. "Misty, you know who I am." He had his sword, his leather black clothes, and cape.
"N-n-n-no, I-I-I-I don't." She slowly got up. "All I know is…"
"That you're looking for your memories." He chuckled. "I'm your memory. Shin- Ra is your memories. Even killing is your memories." He looked at her. "Just try to remember me." He pulled his sword from his belt. "Remember this." He jumped towards her. "Bring out your sword."
"Don't do it Misty. It's all a trick." Vincent got up and moved to her side. "Don't believe anything he says. There all lies."
"Let her figure it out. Let her point her finger at it. Now, Come on Misty. Let's fight, like old times." Sephiroth got in his sword stance.
Misty looked at Vincent, then at Aerith. "Let me try." She pulled out her swords. She looked at them with grace, and then she looked at Sephiroth. Then all of sudden, her mind went blank. She took a step back. "Remember…" She muttered under her breath. Then she began to have flashbacks. Flashes of her wearing what looked like black leather pants, a black leather spaghetti strap shirt, black combat boots, a silver medallion on her belt buckle and the middle of her shirt, a black trench coat, and black leather gloves. She came back to reality. Misty shook her head. "No…"
Sephiroth smiled. "You remember?"
"Vaguely." The flashbacks hit her again. She was at the top of what seemed to be a cliff. There were glorious trees, bushes, flowers, birds, and rocks. She looked across from her. He was there. Sephiroth. He wore the same thing that he was wearing now, but he did have the crazy look he was giving her in reality.
He looked at her. "Ready for your training?" He put on his black leather gloves.
"I don't need training. I'm the best, even the president said so." She saw herself next to her. "I killed over one hundred of his men, under four minutes." She was putting on her gloves.
Sephiroth snorted. "That doesn't mean anything. I could do the same." He picked up his sword. "You still need training." He looked at her.
"Yeah, sure, whatever makes you happy." She pulled out her swords. "I don't see why we have to do this. We are the best SOLDIERS, let alone top-ranking." She got into her sword stance. "There is no point."
"Can you do something without complaining?" Sephiroth was in his stance.
"No."
"Figured."
"Just because your, what? Three years older than me, doesn't mean a damn thing."
"Yes, It does. It means that you have to listen to me and that I'm a lot brighter then you."
Misty glared at him. "You wish! You twenty year old, fart!" She stabbed at him.
"Ha! You little seventeen year old, twerp." He jabbed back at her. "You good, but not as good as me."
"Ha-ah! That's a lie." She swung her foot under him making him fall. She walked over to him. She had the tip of her sword on his chin. "Told you." She smiled.
He looked up at her. "That's because you're short."
"No, it's because you don't pay attention to your feet." She put her sword away and held out a hand to help him up. "The taller they are, the harder they fall." She laughed.
"Your just jealous that your not tall like me, shorty."
Misty rolled her eyes. "Yeah right! Me, six foot, one inch? Never. I'm happy that I'm five foot, eight inches tall." She began to walk.
"Yeah, sure…" Sephiroth laughed.
Misty then snapped back to reality. "Noooo!!! It can be true!" She fell back. "You! Shin- Ra! Everything!" She began to fell woozy. "I hate Shin- Ra." She blacked out.
"What did you do?!?" Vincent yelled at Sephiroth as he kneeled next to her. "Misty. Misty." He tried to shake her awake.
"I did nothing. She just remembered half of her life." Sephiroth began to levitate. "She's O.k." Then he flew away.
Vincent watched Sephiroth fly away. "Help me get her into the sub, please." He looked at Aerith. "I wonder what happened to her in her memories." He grabbed her arms and Aerith grabbed her legs. They walked into the sub and set her down in a black leather chair.
"Well, what ever it was must have been pretty bad." Aerith walked over to the control board of the sub. "You know how to work this?" She motioned to the boards of controls.
"I think." He sat in the leather chair that was in front of the controls. "Put your seatbelts on, it's going to be a bumpy ride." He put his belt on and looked back at Aerith. "Ready?"
She nodded.
He pulled a lever. "Then off we go." The sub backed up and went underwater. Vincent turned the sub around and then sped off to Costa del Sol.
