Chapter 5
Soon after they began down the tunnel it widened a slight bit more, enough to use Hunter's G-bike within the endless Catacomb. They traveled endlessly for a day, most of the time spent on the bike and sleeping aside from Hunter. Finding no need to stop right now the tired biker kept the steady pace going. As he drove however, his mind ran into deep, jumbled thoughts.
'The caves have sure been quiet.not a monster in sight which is kinda odd.not complaining. I wonder why Guardian wants all these people.He's been experimenting lately..maybe that has something to do with it.' Hunter scowled at the thought but couldn't put it passed his friend; after all he had done odder things '.though never anything as demented as that.that I know of.maybe he just wants their gil or something? Nope doesn't seem like Guardian.Dammit I wish he'd told me why he wanted me to do this!!!.Damn I'm hungry.oh look an over hang.' Suddenly realizing what he just thought he veered the bike quickly out of the way of the hanging rock and let out an awkward sigh in relief. 'Damn you Hunter watch where your going!!! Still hungry.and tired.bet these three are to, though they can actually SLEEP!!! Oh well nearly there now.maybe they wont wake up.'
Shaking his head the young biker continued to speed along. A Few moments later he turned a sharp corner and slowed the bike to a stop, cursing upon realizing Daniel was wide awake.
"Hiya Uncle Hunter!" The young boy said cheerfully while watching him climb off the bike. "What'cha doooin'?"
Hunter looked around mischievously then walked quietly over to Daniel "Opening another secret door.wanna help?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok then!" Lifting the little kid onto his shoulders the young biker and walked over to rough part of the dead end he had turned into, all the while whispering with the warriors' son.
While all this was going on, Cloud began to shift from his uncomfortable slumber. With a groggy groan, he opened his eyes to the sight of another rock slab sliding up, revealing another hidden door that Hunter was about to walk into, holding HIS son no less.
"Hey!!!" He yelled out before jumping off the bike, waking Tifa up in the process. His yell caused Hunter to jump then spin around looking at him.
"heh 'bout time you woke up! Common already!"
Cloud glared heatedly at the young biker, ".You were going to take Daniel, weren't you?"
Hunter blinked "No! nononono I wasn't!"
"You lying bastard!!!" Cloud seethed with nearly uncontainable anger.
"We trusted you!" Tifa called out from behind Cloud, just as if not more ticked than him.
Taking a small glance at Daniel, Hunter returned his gaze back to the child's parents, an evil grin spreading across his face. Swiftly he half flipped Daniel off his shoulder and grabbed him tightly before taking out a knife, hidden by his coat and pressing it against the young boys throat. "Guess I can't fool you anymore.though you have to admit, my story was persuasive."
Daniel suddenly turned from cheerful to down right terrified "Mom! Dad! Help!!!" Through all this Cloud shook with unthinkable rage and let out a yell, voicing that rage. "Hunter you bastard! Put my son down NOW!!!"
"Umm.no" With that the young biker jumped back into the opening in the rock and disappearing into the dark behind it.
Without a moments thought both Tifa and Cloud sped into the opening after their son. Seconds after entering the door slammed shut behind them and hearty laughter rang out all around them. This enraged them even farther until they realized only two people were laughing. One of which was their son.
"What is this?!" Cloud shouted angrily into the darkness. The laughing just continued very slowly dying down. A Moment or so later a light flickered on and for all the light covered everything seemed fairly blank except for Hunter and Daniel sitting in a corner laughing there guts out.
"You should-a.you should-a seen the looks on your faces!" Hunter said, trying to stifle his laughter as he looked at them. The glares he received in return were enough to make Hitler shrivel up and die. "I.umm.take it you disagree?"
"Disagree?! DISAGREE!?!?!?!?!!!!!!" Cloud shouted rather loudly. "I'll KILL YOU!!!" That said he rushed forward at the biker, Buster sword drawn and aimed in a collision course for his gut. Having been caught completely off guard, Hunter could do nothing but watch in horror as the sword descended to his stomach.
Suddenly a gun shot rang out through the darkness seconds before Cloud's Buster Sword basically shattered from center, raining bits of steel over everyone near.
Not feeling any pain Hunter let out a relieved Thank you before Cloud threw the handle of the sword at him, clonking the young biker in the head. Scowling, he rubbed his head then looked up at the Ex-soldier "Ow!"
Preparing to jump Hunter, Cloud stopped at the sudden cha-chink of a gun being loaded and spun around to face where it had come from.
".He may deserve what ever punishment you are going to give him but I cannot allow for you to do it at this time. I'm afraid I need Young Hunter's assistance." The voice was low but clear.
The young parents stared in the direction the voice had spoke a lot of mortal shock on their faces.
After a moment of deathly silence the quiet sound of a gun being holstered was heard before it's owner emerged from the darkness from which he had been hiding.
Cloud and Tifa hardly dared believe what they saw.
