The dark room wasn't much ventilated. Yet they were all there.
"On a serious note, I think we should find Barret." Cloud says.
The strategy room contained a large table with twenty leather seats. The room looked formal, from the dark wood table, to the antique paintings on the wall. The windows were covered by a falling plant that draped over it on the outside, and if anyone wanted to look in, all one would have to do is close the horizontal blinds.
"These seats are awesome!" Yuffie bounced in her chair. "Cloud?"
"Yes?" Cloud brought his blue eyes over to Yuffie.
"What are we going to do about that Mr. H. guy?" Yuffie shook around in her seat.
"He is pretty tough." Lina said. She wore a lighter purple shirt today, with a long white skirt with a slit that ran down the right side.
"It only took me awhile to get the hang of him, but it does worry me a little." Cloud closed his eyes and sighed.
"Cloud, lets think about this. Do we know anyone with and H?" Tifa asked. She was seated to his right.
"The only people I can come up with from the top of my head are Heidegger and Hojo." Cloud placed both his elbows on the table.
"We killed those two bastards though." Cid said with his legs on the table.
"Who are those two people?" Lina asked.
Cloud looked to his left, "Well the first guy doesn't matter much, but the second guy is a different story." Cloud leaned back on his chair; he slumped down into his chair. "Hojo was basically your typical evil scientist. Lots of experimentations, in fact, Red XIII were one of his."
"Cloud, don't call him that." Tifa said sympathetically. "You know his real name already."
Cloud nodded to her. "Nanaki, is this-" Cloud thinks how to explain it without insulting Nanaki. "He's a four legged creature. Except the creature part, he is one of the kindest people you could ever know. He has red fur and a flaming tail."
"You called him a person." Lina says.
"Well that's because he is a person to us. He talks just like us. He cares for his closest friends." Tifa answered. "Nanaki is practically a person."
"Well anyways, back to Hojo. Hojo is this guy, that doesn't care about anything. Walks around in a hunch. Dark hair, and wears glasses, but still don't be fooled by his look. He turned into some disgusting monster through his work. Tried to stop us. He is-" Cloud tries to make sure he is right about it. "He is the father of Sephiroth."
"Are you serious!?" Lina asked.
"All we saw was tapes, but its evidence enough." Cloud leaned forward resting his elbows on his table. "Whatever, this guy is dead. We made sure of that."
"But you don't know if he came back through one of his whacked out experiments!" Cid says. "This stupid mother fucker could have done some weird shit."
"Still, you saw the size of the H. character. He's huge!" Yuffie made a gesture. "The guy has muscles too. More than Barret! That can't be Hojo." Yuffie crossed her arms.
A man knocks on the door. "It's me President Strife."
"Come in." Cloud turns to the door.
"I contacted Barret Wallace sir. He is already on his way. He said to give him a day or two." The soldier saluted and walked out closing the door behind him.
"Great!" Tifa smiled. "Barret is coming!"
Suddenly the door slams open. "Bang Bang Bang! You're all dead."
Everyone looked out of sheer reaction. Lina jumped up, and Yuffie almost fell out of her seat.
Reno smirks and laughs. "Scared you guys didn't I"
"Whatever." Cloud looked back at everyone.
"You're not going to order me to sit down?" Reno walks to a piece of wall in between to windows, and leans on it. "Well it wouldn't matter too much. I really don't want to sit down anyway."
"Barret is coming." Cid says.
"Really, even better. More Avalanche guys." Reno crosses his arms. "Alright let me inform you guys about Mr. H."
"You know of him?" Tifa asked.
"A little only. Remember I did spy them." Reno remembered Rude's betrayal. "I don't know too much about him, but I this. The guy is after control of the world. Why I don't know. Seams like you typical sleaze ball."
"Like you!" Yuffie laughs.
Reno gives her a look. "Your average world domination types. He's really strong, not your normal Joe. You saw the axe thing. That shit came out of nowhere. He's smart, really smart. I'm talking about rocket scientist type of thing."
"That don't say much." Cid grunted. "Look at Shera." He laughs.
No one laughed with him.
"I don't know where the guy hides, but I can give you an idea of his power." Reno makes sure he gets everyone's attention.
Cloud rests his chin on his arms.
"I think he's responsible for weapon's attack." Reno said.
"Are you serious? That mother fucker?" Cid almost fell out of the chair.
"That can't be right though." Says Cloud skeptically. "Weapon is supposed to protect the planet."
"Well you guys pretty much destroyed all of them right?" Reno says.
"Still, that doesn't make sense." Cloud sits back on his chair.
"Well believe it buddy, I was there for the plan. I warned Reeve about it. Why do you think Cid and Reeve where around in time for its attack?" Reno smirk knowing he's right.
Cloud opens his mouth, but nothing comes out
"Exactly. He's the culprit. So now we should worry about finding him before he pulls it off again." Reno scratches his face, and crosses his arm again.
"Where?" Lina asks. She was pretty much quiet the whole time.
"Well I could give you a few guesses. I know where most of their army is situated, but not him." Reno says.
"How about we attack the army when they don't expect it, and lure the fox out of his hole?" Cloud says.
"Seems reasonable, but that means were gonna be here longer." Reno continues.
Suddenly the door slams open again, with a man charging with his gun. The man starts to aim at Cloud while screaming.
Cloud jumps out of his seat.
At that moment, the window breaks with someone crashing through window. The silhouette, without aim, fires a bullet.
The bullet hisses by Cloud's ear, and finds its target right in the head.
The attacker falls back with the bullet hole in his head. Everyone turns to the silhouette.
"What the fuck?" Cid yells.
A man appears out of the shadows. His dark hair stuck out everywhere, and his red cape covered his dark clothing. With every step, Vincent's chains were heard.
"Vincent?" Yuffie jumps up. "It is you!"
"Now that was unexpected." Reno says.
"I apologize for my entrance." Vincent said.
"Hey it's better than me dead." Cloud said smiling. "It's good to know that you stalking us."
"I try." Vincent answered. He walks up to the dark corner from where he appeared. "I'll be here if anyone needs me."
"You know that's really freaky." Reno says.
"Good thing he's on our side huh?" Yuffie nods in happiness.
All that they heard from Vincent's corner was him holstering his gun.
"That is really freaky." Reno states another time.
"Where is their army Reno?" Cloud asks looking to him.
"They situated themselves behind rocket town. It's a big camp. Bunch of tents and stuff." Reno runs his hand through his red hair.
"So that's why you were in it too huh Cid?" Yuffie asked.
"That's right; I don't want know stupid fucks in my backyard." Cid scratches his side.
"Alright at night time we attack. Pincer attack. We'll have a ship drop off all the troops close to their camp. If they make a break to shore, we have our water offense. We start the attack off the Highwind." Cloud said.
"Just like that?" Reno said. "Alright."
"Were attacking tonight. Now, no time to waste, if we assemble the army for too long they'll expect it. Lets go."
"Wait a second!" Yuffie said jumping off her chair. "What do you mean off the Highwind?"
Cloud grins.
"That's bad." Yuffie twiddles her thumbs, "he's grinning."
"On a serious note, I think we should find Barret." Cloud says.
