Approximately 2:30 A.M.

Blood poured out of the creatures shoulder, which was basically parallel
with it's head. Red XIII's rip had reached down to it, and the creature was now
wounded. It trotted along slowly through the woods, looking for someone or
something to kill, it was hungry, and was desperate. The creature stopped,
looked around, it felt the warmth of its blood flowing down it's body and onto
the ground. The creature gave a small snarling hiss, and continued running
towards the river. Running along, the creature thought about the two that
had seen it. The creature was infuriated, and it's main goal would be to kill
them. How had they gotten it to retreat? the creature thought. This had never
happened to him before, and he was damned if he was going to get killed.
The creature reached the river and stopped. A bit of forest was still on the
other side, and there was a line of rocks to the other side. Probably put
there by some kids playing. The creature hopped from rock to rock, water
occasionally splashing him. The water was cool, and it felt good against his
wound. The creature reached the other side, and spotted a bear.

The small creature creeped slowly and quietly on the bear, who was
walking in the other direction. The creature got close enough, and jumped
high into the air onto the bears back. The bear roared and stood on two legs,
but the creature held on. It started clawing at the bears back, and the bear
went berserk. The pain was unbearable, and the bear took off fast towards
the end of the forest. Blood started to squirt up into the air and shower down
in a trail in the back of the bear. The bear roared and just before the end of the
forest, the bears head shot straight up into the air and the bear fell on it's side.
The creature jumped off and walked slowly to the head, it used it's claw to
slowly open the bear's mouth, and the other to get it open wide. The creature
shoved itself into the bears mouth, using it's claws to guide itself to the throat.
The creature was to the throat and used it's legs to push itself into the stomach.
It disappeared totally into the bear. A small child came trotting along from a
tent a few seconds later and saw the dead bear. He walked to it cautiously
and stopped. He picked up a stick and gave it a poke. Nothing. He didn't
see it, but the cut in the bear's back healed up. The creature positioned itself
into the bear's system, and opened it's eyes. He saw the boy. As fast as the
bear fell, the bear rose and the child screamed. Like a flash of lightning, the
bear's mouth came down onto the child's head, and locked in. After about
five seconds, blood poured down the childs shoulders and down his body
onto the ground. A huge pool on the ground after five seconds. The bear
put it's front paws on the childs feet and pulled up, the child's head ripped
right off his shoulder's, and his body fell to the ground. The bear then
proceeded to eat the body, and the bear grew about three times it's size.

The bear simply grabbed the body by it's arm and threw it up into
the air and swallowed it. The boy's young blood tasted great to the
creature, who was now in complete control of the bear's body. The rain
was soaking the bear's fur, and he looked over and saw the tent, and
two shadows in it on top of each other. Slight moaning was heard. The
bear walked slowly to the tent and sniffed around. Reproducing, the
creature thought. Well, he wasn't going to let that happen, and being a
very huge bear now, he leaned his head down and gripped the top of
the tent with his teeth. He pulled it upward in one fast motion and the
tent flew up and got stuck in the trees. The bear looked down at a
woman and man, who were under covers. They both screamed and
both screamed and picked up and ran. Both naked. The bear took
off after them, he was sure to have his way with them. Both of them
naked, running deeper into the woods, towards the river. They
finally reached, as it wasn't that far, and they hopped the rocks as
fast as they could, which wasn't all that fast at all. At about the last
rock, the bear landed in front of them. He had hoped the river onto
the other side. The woman was in front of the man, and as she saw
the bear she stopped so suddenly she fell onto her ass. The bear
brought it's teeth right down into her chest, and flung her up into
the air and snapped his mouth out forward and bit her in half. The
man, who was completely horrified, ran the other way. The bear
ran on the rocks very quickly and bit onto the man's right leg, and
brought him backwards and up very fast, the man stopped in
mid air for a moment, then totally detached from his leg and flew
back over the river and into a tree, where he fell to the ground,
bleeding furiously. The bear turned around and ate the two parts
of the woman, then stepped on the land toward the tree and
sunk his teeth into the mans head and swallowed him. The bear
gave a small roar, and walked off.

7:15 A.M.

Tifa and Red XIII awoke at the sound of the alarm, which
was actually set for somewhere in the six o'clock hour, but was
put on snooze a few times. Tifa reached to put it on snooze again,
but Red XIII told her not to. She hesitated and sat up in her bed.
Red XIII looked at her, jumped off the bed he was on, and climbed
down the ladder. Tifa threw the covers off of her, her face still hurt
a little from the hit she took last night. She rolled out of bed and went
into the bathroom, her clothes were just about dry. She slipped out
of the robe and into her clothes. She climbed down the ladder and
Red XIII was nowhere around. She walked out of the door and
down into the residential area of Cosmo Canyon. Red XIII was
talking with the gatekeeper. Tifa walked slowly towards them, and
Red XIII came walking towards her. He said go back into his
place, she listened, and Red XIII followed. When they reached,
Tifa sat down at a stool at the table. Red XIII sat on the other
side. Tifa sighed. "So, shall we call now?" Red XIII looked at
her doubtfully. "Wait a little bit, give them time to wake up."
"Barret is up at 6 in the morning every day"

"Oh is he?"
"Yes"
"Fine, the phone is over there. Put him on Speaker."
Tifa did as asked, she put the phone on the table and seen
the whole crew was on speed dial. She hit 2, as Barret was
on it. The phone rang, and Barret answered with a deep sounding
"Yo!"
"Hey Barret, it's Tifa, I'm with Red XIII, how's it going?"
"Everything is goin' fine, Midgar is back to normal, what's up
with you?" Barret asked her.
"We have sort of a question for you"
"Yeah? Go."
"Well, Tifa left Cosmo Canyon last night, a man followed her.
I tore his head off after he was about to kill her. The weird
thing is a small monster came out of the man's body and ran
off. We were thinking maybe Shinra crea--" Red XIII was
cut off.
"SHINRA!? I thought we took care of their whole monster
creating business!"
"Yeah, well, were not tota--" again cut off.
"If theres a strange monster, Shinra is behind it!"
"Yeah, well that's why we called, this monster seemed different
from their others, we suspect it's behind all of the recent killings.
We want to sneak into Shinra Headquarters and look around
for information on it."
"Yeah, I'm all for it...god damn!"
"What!?" Tifa asked curiously.
"I just seen on the news, a man, woman, and their son went
out camping for a night. Well, a friend went out to see them
and their tent was high up in the tree. A few meters from the
tent, there was a pool of blood. And on the river, there was
more blood. Shinra has people there investigating, but they
aren't releasing any new information!"
"That's near where we seen the creature!" Tifa yelled.
"Yes, it had to be him." Red XIII said lowly.
"Well then it's settled, you get your sorry asses to Midgar
and we're going back to Shinra Headquarters!" Barret yelled
loudly.
"Oh lord.." Red XIII said.
"Alright Barret, we'll be there as soon as we can" Tifa told him.
"Right!" Barret hung up the phone. Red XIII looked at Tifa.

"Are we ready" Red XIII asked. "Well, there's nothing we
really need to get, we have everything, let's go." Tifa said. They
got up from the table and walked through the door and down to
ground level. When they emerged from the door, what do they
see? "No fuckin way!" Red XIII said loudly. A HUGE bear was
running around, wrecking havoc on Cosmo Canyon. The bear
had the gatekeeper in its mouth, and his body snapped in half
as the bear bit down. The two pieces fell to the ground, and the
bear looked at Tifa and Red XIII. "Let's go!" Red XIII said
lowly with a sort of grin on his face. Tifa and Red XIII ran
straight down the steps toward the bear, side by side, as the
bear ran straight at them. At about half way down the stairs, the
bear was almost to the beginning of them. Red XIII dove straight
forward down the stairs, his front legs stretched out. The bear
stood up on it's hind legs and roared at Red XIII as it lifted it's
front legs to swat him. Red XIII bit into the bears front left paw
and hung on. The bear swung around but Red XIII held on. As
the bear was about to bite into Red XIII, Tifa reached and
jumped sideways and gave it a HARD kick to the stomach.
The bear roared and fell over backwards onto it's back. Red
XIII let go and jumped on top of him. The bear was clearly
bigger than him, but Red XIII was tough, and wouldn't give
up easily.

The bear pushed Red XIII high into the air off of him and
got up. Red XIII landed in front of him. Tifa was in back. Red
XIII seen Tifa was charging her fist. Red XIII kept him
distracted and, the bears head came flying towards Red XIII.
Tifa was seen standing there, she had used her Final Heaven
attack on the bear, and it completely took the bears head off.
The body fell to the ground, and Red XIII walked towards it.
He sniffed it, and BANG! From the bears stomach, bursted
out the creature, and was now clawing on Tifa. The blood
squirted everywhere from the bear and Red XIII was blinded
for a minute. He clawed viciously at his eyes trying to see again,
while in the meanwhile Tifa was being cut up atrociously by
this monster. Tifa managed to punch it off, and Red XIII
regained his vision. He looekd and the creature took and slash
at him. Red XIII moved out of the way and dove onto it, but
the creature was very fast and seemed to be at full power.
The rest of the town watched in astonishment. The monster
ran right by Tifa, and down the stairs. Tifa just stood there.
"After him!!!" Red XIII shouted as he took off quickly after
the monster. With hesitation, Tifa turned and ran down the
stairs behind Red XIII. The creature was pulling ahead as
he turned left towards the forest. This was the forest that
was made accessible when they defeated Weapon, Red
XIII thought. There were many places to hide in there.
The monster was far ahead, and fell out of sight when
it entered the forest. It quickly jumped into the bottom
of a tree and dug downward and looked out. It was
well hidden and seen Tifa and Red XIII stop near him.
"It got away" Red XIII said lowly. "It's just hiding
somewhere, let's proceed through this forest, we can
climb down the mountain on the other side if we don't
find him. "Alright" Red XIII replied. The creature
watched them walk off, and curled up and went to
sleep, how had they beaten him twice!? He thought
to himself.

Red XIII and Tifa neared the end of the forest,
they had kept their guard up so high they jumped
at the sound of a cricket. They both looked down
over the mountain, and began to climb down. It
seemed like a really big hill more than a mountain,
as it went down in a slope instead of straight. Red
XIII, almost slipping a few times, got to the bottom
first, and Tifa not long after him. She sighed, and they
proceeded to Costa Del Sol. It wasn't that hard
getting there, they fought a few monsters on the way,
but nothing to hard. They took the next boat out,
and arrived at Junon around 3:00 P.M. Tifa got a call
on her cell phone. "Yo Tifa! I'm in the lower level,
meet me!" Barret said. "Alright." she hung up.
Red XIII and Tifa then proceeded down to the
beach of Junon.
