I'm so tired; I don't want to swim anymore. I still can't believe I didn't drown when it fell. I'm way to lucky, I used to get away with scraped knees.

Cloud was freestyle swimming his way to shore. He still had no idea what happened to Junon. After the Weapon dove into the ocean, Cloud started to swim to shore. He does not know how long it has been, but he has been swimming. Cloud has always been strong. His buster sword is sheathed to his back. With uniform and sword, Cloud is still swimming his way through the ocean.

I think something is broken. I don't know what. I'm just going to keep swimming; I'll worry about it later.

Sometime later, Cloud saw how close the shore was. He suddenly paused.

I don't want to swim anymore.

Cloud just floated there for a few minutes. Finally after a few minutes of rest, he swam to shore. When Cloud made it to shore, he crawled his way further inland. Finally he collapsed on his stomach; Cloud slowly turned himself over to his back. Panting, Cloud thought of what might have happened to the others.

"I hope they're okay." Cloud closed his eyes for a moment. He wanted to rest.

I think I'm just going to sleep here for a few minutes. I really don't think I could keep on going.

Cloud started to listen to some noise that was close by. "I have to get up."

Slowly Cloud sat himself up. "What's that noise?" He picked himself up with his arms. Finally standing, Cloud looked around him. Off in the distance he saw something burning. Cloud squinted to see what it was. "I can't make it out."

Rubbing his aching shoulder, he decided to check it out. He made his way to what seemed like wreckage. Cloud looked at Junon, but he was behind it. All he could see was the huge hill that the city was built in. Smoke was making its way into the atmosphere.

Cloud had no way of telling time, but he guessed that it took him about ten minutes to get within distance of what seemed like a helicopter wreckage. When Cloud looked past the wreckage, it seemed like there was more crashed helicopters around. He counted two other ones in total.

"This can't be good." Cloud walked up to the helicopter. It was still on fire, he couldn't do much. But to Cloud's amazement, there was a Shinra soldier just lying there, dead.

Running up to the body, Cloud began to worry. "Maybe Reeve is in trouble." Cloud leans over the body. "No breathing. He's dead." Cloud looked around the helicopter, but everyone else must be trapped inside, most likely dead.

Cloud decided to check the other wreckages. This time he ran to the next one. More bodies were lying around this one. Cloud looked at each individually.

"Help." Someone on the floor said very weakly.

Cloud ran up to him. "Are you okay?"

"Not really, I don't think I'm." The pilot coughs blood out his mouth. "Never mind that, I need you to check the other copter. Ree." The man eyes started to fade away. "ve." He collapsed onto Clouds arms. Cloud looked down, and shook his head. He passed his fingers over the dead pilot's eyes to close them. "Nothing more I could do."

Cloud looked at the other wreckage. "I'm worried, I think he was saying Reeve."

Cloud ran to the other helicopter wreckage. In sure time he made it, but he was never prepared for what he was about to see. When Cloud made it the helicopter, this one wasn't on fire anymore. Cloud could see all the dead personal. He walked around the helicopter to see if anyone was lying around. Suddenly his eyes widen to what he saw next, Cloud saw a person trapped under the helicopter. "Reeve!" Cloud ran to him.

Reeve didn't answer. "Reeve! Wake up!" Cloud shook his upper body. "Reeve you can't die. C'mon Reeve, just wake up!" Cloud couldn't believe what he was seeing. Someone he knows very well is dead. Cloud couldn't accept it. "Reeve wake up! Your all that Midgar has left." A tear started to form in his left eye. "Reeve! What about Cait Sith?" Cloud did not stop shaking.

This is impossible. Reeve can't be dead. He's just unconscious, that's it.

Cloud leaned in to check heartbeat, and if he was breathing. Cloud remained paused, hoping that he could find some sign of life, but he couldn't find anything. He wasn't even living for a moment.

"Reeve! This is." He paused for a second to look away. Closing his eyes, "I can't believe your dead. Reeve this is just not possible."

Cloud rested his back against the helicopter. Cloud didn't even notice that he was sitting in Reeve's blood, or perhaps he doesn't care at the moment. With a sigh, Cloud stood up. After wiping a few tears away, Cloud began to walk towards Junon, maybe he could find some help their.

After what seemed forever of the never ending thoughts of Reeve's death, Cloud made it into the village that Priscilla lived in. Cloud could not believe what he saw next. Everything was destroyed. Cloud looked around, but to no avail nothing seemed like it was spared from the destruction.

"I can't believe this!" Cloud does not even know how he is supposed to feel anymore. Cloud looked up to what seemed Junon, but all he saw was rubble, smoke, and fires.

Cloud dropped to his knees, his ribs started to hurt a lot. He didn't care to keep on going. He started to cry. "Tifa, Lina." They must be dead to, he thought."

Cloud lay down on his back. He couldn't stop the tears. The thought of everyone who died, Aeris, Reeve, Lina, Tifa, they are all dead. Cid too, he thought.

He shut his eyes; he couldn't take the pain anymore. He wanted to go to sleep. He wanted all this to end. Slowly he fell to sleep, the pain in his ribs seemed to disappear. But even in his sleep, the pain of everyone he lost is still there.
