--------------------------------------------------------

"Daddy!"

A small toddler, with short, semi-spiked, brown hair and pale blue-eyes went running over to a tall spikey-blonde haired man who stood out of the chair he was sitting and picked the little toddler up.

"Hi-ya squirt! What are you up to, huh?"

The young child giggled as he was thrown up into the air and caught again by the tall man. "I went shopping with Mommy!" He grinned as if it was the best possible accomplishment in the world and the man chuckled.

"Oh did you? Well where is your Mom?"

"Right here." An average sized woman walked in put down the bag of groceries she was carrying then brushed her long chocolate hair out of her face.

"Hi mommy." The toddler said waving insanely from in the man's arms.

"Hello Daniel"

The spikey-haired man put Daniel on his shoulders then strode over to the woman and gave her a small kiss. "Hi Teef. I heard you and Daniel went shopping." He made it sound as though it were so bad.

"Shopping.oh no! Not shopping! Really Cloud get a life!" She said teasingly as Daniel laughed at the dazed expression of his fathers face.

Suddenly the young toddlers stomach let out a large rumble "Mommy, Daddy I'm hungry!"

Tifa and Cloud exchanged looks and tried not to laugh but failed miserably. "Ok dear. We'll make some lunch then!"

The three of them went into the kitchen and proceeded to make Ham and cheese sandwiches. Well, Tifa tried to but Cloud and Daniel kept stealing the ham and cheese slices.

"If you want lunch you'll have to stop that!"

"Ok" Daniel replied obediently

"Cloud?"

"Umm."

Tifa cross her arms and tapped her foot lightly on the floor staring at him.

"Ahhh! THE look! Ok ok I'll stop!"

Daniel giggled "Mommy wins"

"Yes Sweetie, Mommy wins" She gave Cloud a smirk in mock arrogance and got a raspberry in return.

Eventually the lunch was made and the sat down to eat it outside their little house in the outskirts of Kalm.

Daniel sat quite happily a few feet away from his parents after he'd finished eating to play with a grasshopper while Tifa and Cloud laid on the grass to heartily enjoy the sun.

A half an hour or so passed with Daniels happy playing and his parents peaceful resting. Tifa was snugged up close to Cloud now and both lay there drowsily.

Cloud perked his ears a bit.he couldn't hear his son "Daniel.?" Upon hearing no response he called out again in a slightly panic "Daniel?!"

He sat upright as did Tifa and far off in the distance they saw him. They both sighed in relief but suddenly tensed up again as they noticed a monster wolf [A/N: I have no idea what these monsters near Kalm are called.] closing swiftly in on him while the he looked towards them and waved.

"DANIEL!!!!!" They both cried out as sheer panic over took them and they jumped to their feet running at twice their normal speed. Still they knew deep down they would never make it before the wolf did. It was only a hundred yards away now.

Dread over took them as they watched the creature close in on their boy. 50 yards. 25.10.

Then without notice or warning a jet black and crimson G-bike [A/N: If you don't know what a G-bike is it's the FF7 version of a motorcycle] came roaring off a small rock ledge and straight at Daniel.

Cloud and Tifa watched in complete horror as the wolf lunged at their son. A sudden high pitched whine from the G-bike's engine caught Cloud's attention however as it sped passed Daniel but as it did so the rider leaned to the side and snatched Daniel up off the ground.

The bike then suddenly U-turned, it's back tire dragging and kicking up dust as the bike came to a complete halt. The rider held Daniel firmly in front of him on the seat with his right hand as the left drew a small gun and fired at the confused wolf creature, who, reeled to the ground. Dead from the single bullet wound in its head.

The rider re-holstered his gun and placed his hands back on the handles bars off the bike and he started off to the direction of the two people in the distance.

Tifa and Cloud exchanged confused but still horrified looks as the G-Bike stopped beside them, Daniel seemingly safe on the seat ahead of the rider.

Slowly the rider lifted their son off the bike and handed him to Tifa, who hugged and rocked him while crying "Daniel! Don't ever do that again!" Cloud went over to the two and hugged them both tightly then turned to the G-bike and it's Rider.

The rider wore cargo pants and the same color jean jacket. On his hands were knuckle gloves made of leather and on his feet were thick cork boots. All these things were black as his G-Bike. His short, indigo colored hair looked spiky but not near the extent that Cloud's was but needed a black strip of cloth tied around his forehead to hold it out of his line of sight. His skin was lightly tanned and from what Cloud could tell he was about 22-years-old with a fairly handsome complexion. The Ex-Soldier couldn't really say the eye color of the young man for his eyes were hidden by black framed sunglasses with reflective silver lenses.

"Thank you for saving our boy."

"No problem" The young man replied quietly "You Cloud and Tifa Strife?"

"Yes"

"Good. Ready to go?"

"Go?" Cloud eyed the Rider suspiciously as Daniel and Tifa watched from behind him. "What do you mean 'go'?"

"I mean go. As into scram?" He looked at the confused looks on their faces "and You didn't get the letter did you?"

"Letter?" Cloud asked in suspicious confusion "What are you talking about?"

"Uh.oh.Guardian ain't gonna be happy to hear this." He seemed to lift his head to look around.

"Guardian? Who are you and what's going on!?" Cloud demanded angrily

"Oh do we gotta talk! No time now though! Move it or lose it an' get on!"

"No!" Just as Cloud yelled a jeep came flying off the same rock ledge The G- bike and it's Rider did. If that didn't persuade Cloud, Tifa and Daniel to climb on the bike the fact that the 10 or so men shoved in the jeep were all firing guns at them did.

The second they were on, the rider gunned the throttle nearly bucking them all off and causing the tire to spin like mad before they took off. Soon the Jeep was no more than a Dot in the distance.

"What's going on!?" Cloud yelled over the wind

"You'll find out!"

"Well then at least tell us who you are!" Tifa exclaimed loudly

"Fine! My name's Seth Tonder! Guardian calls me Hunter!"

"Who's Guardian!?" Both Tifa and Cloud exclaimed

Hunter laughed "You'll see!"
