Caen's Inner Wishes
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"It's coming on like a drug, the universal power of one, but it don't mean nothing, if it all comes undone..." (A - Nothing)
(A/N - In Caen's POV. Obviously.)
By the planet, she's strong!
She seemed so innocent and sweet. Sure the sword was a bit daunting, but what the heck, she's gentle by nature, I thought. Yeah, I was wrong.
She's got a powerful spirit, that girl has. She might not realise it, but I've seen my father fight on videos, and I've seen Cloud fight in the same documentaries, and she is amazing, even compared to them.
The soldiers she took down are no pushovers; no doubt Sephiroth sent his middle strength forces to deal with the Strife kid just to be on the safe side. And she butchered them all with a few swings of that huge blade. Marlene and me took down four of them, Marlene being pretty strong herself for her first fistfight, but we didn't realise that the rest of the group had come round the back of the house. They thought they had us, and I thought that we were screwed when I looked out the tower window, where I had ran to see if there was a second wave coming whilst Marlene finished off the last soldier.
Then I heard the screams outside, and realised who it was. Midnight. Not the person who was screaming. That was some poor soul who thought he was in for a pushover; after all, the orders were to kill the sixteen-year-old girl who had no previous military training but just so happened to be the daughter of the ex-SOLDIER and the karate expert who ripped Shinra open... She went mental on this soldier's ass; performing her Level One limit break; a version, as it appeared to me, of her father's most powerful attack the Omnislash. She calls it the Multislash. It tore the soldier apart.
Hearing the screams, I was scared that she'd been hurt. And damn, she should have been; she fought eleven middle class soldiers! They're no Spirit Force; which are as strong as SOLDIER used to be; but they're still no pushovers. Hell, it took Marlene and me eight minutes to kill four; it took Midnight fifteen minutes to kill eleven. Once I ran outside, I traded in a few slashes of my own with my Poison Daggers, but she was fine on her own. Once she'd finished, she collapsed, stunned by what she'd done. We were all as stunned. She started crying, and Marlene tried to comfort her as Elmyra and I tried to clear all the bodies away. No point though. They will already know what happened. We're all on the same list as poor Reno...
I stood there watching her kick ass, and Aeris voice entered my head. Good isn't she? Takes after Cloud and Tifa... Take care of her, Caen... And I will.
Well, I sure feel safer now that she's shown her power. And.she's only at level one, with really low HP and MP. I'm at level five; I trained before. Same with Marlene, she's at level three and she trained as a healer, so we're in safe hands there. Just think what Midnight would be like at level seventy or so, which is what the Avalanche were at when they fought Sephiroth... It's scary to think about it.
Midnight is one powerful fighter. And damn... it makes her look so hot when she's swinging that sword around and screaming her battle cry as she does so. I don't wanna feel this way, because we have so far to go together (this mission aint gonna end soon) and even if she does like me at all, then those feelings aren't gonna come out straight with all the emotion we'll have going around our heads. But I am gonna stay by her side... Its destiny, as Aeris told me, and I have to get revenge for Dad...
That's my heart's wishes. Sephiroth stuck a sword to Dad; I'm gonna stick my daggers through him...
That's my reason to fight. In the letter, Tifa says that Cloud asked everyone to have a reason to fight. I've found mine. We all have.
Avalanche is born again... Ill get my revenge for Avalanche, and for Zack.
