Well I'm glad to have fixed the whole text problem so there should be no
more problems with further chapters.
Lost in Final Fantasy 7 Chapter 21: Cloaked in the Basement
Well this place was much darker, spookier, and scarier than in the game. It was all dark, dusty, covered in cobwebs, and had a bunch of rickety floor boards. Cloud was the bravest of the three of us. Yuffie was pretty scared in here. She kept hiding behind me.
Cloud: It isn't that bad in here.
Perry: I'm just worried this place will collapse.
Yuffie: That's.not.good.
Cloud: What are you so scared of?
Yuffie: Lemme think for a second. Maybe THIS WHOLE HOUSE!!!!!
Perry: Well, let's look upstairs. Maybe there's a clue up there.
Cloud: Good idea.
We walked up the stairs and headed to the left. We found a chest containing a weapon we thought Barret could use. Then we found a safe.
Cloud: A safe?
Perry: Maybe something's inside. Maybe our clue.
Cloud: Maybe. But we don't know the combination.
Yuffie: Stand aside guys. Lucky you've got me here.
She darted past me like she wasn't afraid anymore and held her head to the safe and turned the knob to the right and left multiple times.
Yuffie: Almost there.
But I had been thinking. What exactly was in that safe in the first place. Then I thought back to opening the safe in the game and what came out. Odin Materia, the key to the basement, and.
Perry: Yuffie stop!
It was too late she had entered the final code and the safe opened the a giant beast came out from it and nearly attacked her. Luckily I had gotten her out of the way in time.
Yuffie: Hey, why did you do that?
I grabbed her head and turned it around a little so she could see what was behind her. Lost Number.
Yuffie: Yipes!!
Springing to our feet we all got ready to fight.
Cloud: Let's take it to him.
Perry: Alright.
I used a fire spell on it but it wasn't even phased.
Cloud: Hmm.
He cast what looked like a Bolt spell but it was bigger than normal.
Perry: Bolt2?
Cloud: I leveled it up awhile back.
The monster then ran up and smacked me into a pile of junk in the room.
Perry: Bastard!
Getting mad I summoned Choco/Mog. Only a very fat chocobo fell onto Lost Number. It seemed to feel that one.
Perry: That was great!
Yuffie: Don't flatter yourself.
Perry: Why do I always hear that?
Yuffie than used an Ice spell on the creature. But then it made some odd movements.
Perry: The hell's it doing?
Then in a flash it had changed from multiple colors to all red. And to start off it cast Fire2 on me.
Yuffie: Perry!
I couldn't see through the flames. But it didn't hurt. It almost felt good. After the flames died down everyone, including the monster, was amazed.
Cloud: What?
I looked on my armor. Apparently I had switched my Fire materia to my armor and linked it to the Elemental materia I had gotten way back in the Shinra Building(chapter 5).
Perry: That explains it.
Yuffie: Well, we still have to kill it.
Cloud: Not to worry.
He summoned Shiva and after the ice was shattered the beast fell dead and vanished.
Yuffie: So much for him.
Perry: Check it out.
Inside the safe was the key and the Odin Materia. I took the Odin Materia and placed it into my weapon linked with the Revive materia for the time being.
Yuffie: No fair. I wanted it.
Perry: You should have grabbed it.
Yuffie: Oh you!
Cloud: What's this?
He picked up the key to the basement. It had told him what door it was for on an old note attached to the key.
Cloud: Key to the basement, to the room of my project.
When he tried to touch the note it turned to dust from its age.
Perry: Let's get down there.
Yuffie: But how?
Perry: Cloud would know.
Cloud: I would.
Perry: Yeah, didn't you go down there in that story you told us about in Kalm?
Cloud: Oh, that's right. The entrance should be close by.
And it was. We found the secret door leading down to the basement. The path down was a dangerous one.
Yuffie: Woah. One fall from here and its all over.
Cloud: It's not so bad.
He walked down with no fear of falling. Yuffie on the other hand wouldn't move.
Perry: Come on!
Yuffie: No way. I'll just wait here.
Perry: Just hold my hand and we'll be fine.
She reluctantly grabbed onto my hand. It felt as though she was about to shatter the bones in it the way she was holding it. But I didn't show my pain to her.
Perry: See, you're safe with me.
Yuffie: I guess.
When we reached the bottom we let go of one another and ran ahead to the door where the key went but we were attacked by several bat's as we opened it.
Cloud: They shouldn't be too powerful.
He tried to slash at one but it was moving too quickly.
Perry: I got this one.
I decided to summon Odin. The mighty warrior rode on his six legged horse into the battlefield and cut each bat into two. Then rode away.
Cloud: That was amazing.
Perry: but exhausting.
I didn't stop to think that the more MP it cost to use something the more it would take out of the caster.
Yuffie: You okay.
Perry: I'll be fine.
Inside was a coffin. Cloud opened it up.
Cloud: Woah!
???: After a long sleep the time has come.
Cloud: What?
A cloaked man stood up from within the coffin.
Cloud: Who are you?
???: What is this? People have come here and released me. Please leave this will just add upon my sins.
Yuffie: Your.sins?
???: Yes, for it has been a nightmare down here. For which I was responsible.
Cloud: You can say that again. But this isn't a dream. It really is a nightmare.
???: Than you should leave.
He lied back down and his coffin closed again.
Perry: Hey, we wanna know more here!
I went up and opened the coffin back up.
???: You again? I thought I told you to leave.
Cloud: But this really is a nightmare. Sephiroth has gone mad and we wanna stop him.
???: Sephiroth. How do you know that name?
Cloud: Let me explain.
We all sat back as Cloud told his story once more to this person.
Cloud: And that's how it was.
???: So he discovered he was created and wants to take his mother to the Promised Land.
Cloud: Exactly.
???: You were in SOLDIER. Were you not?
Cloud: yes.
???: I also am affiliated with Shinra. A former member of the Turks.
Cloud: And you are.
???: Vincent. Vincent Valentine.
Cloud: Well, why don't you come with us?
Vincent: I must rest more. And think of this situation.
Cloud: Let's keep going.
We exited Vincent's little "lair" and went into the other room and found Sephiroth.
Cloud: Sephiroth!
Sephiroth: Oh, this place brings back memories. Tell me, do you plan on coming to the Reunion?
Cloud: I don't know what you mean!
Sephiroth: Jenova will be at the Reunion. She will become the Calamity from the Skies.
Cloud: What? So Jenova was not an Ancient?
Sephiroth: I see. I don't think you have the right to participate.
He then looked squarely at me.
Sephiroth: So, I see we meet again.
Perry: Yeah, but my answer is still no. I've already found what I wanted most.
Sephiroth: Well, I don't need you anymore. Well actually I do but not "you".
Stepping to the side a shadowy figure appeared.
???: Greetings. I look forward to meeting all of you later on. Especially you Perry.
Than the figure vanished. And Sephiroth with it.
Perry: Who was that?
Cloud: Dunno. He seemed familiar.
Yuffie: Let's just get out of here.
Perry: I hear that.
Heading back the way we came Vincent appeared again in the corridor and talked with us once more.
Vincent: If I go with you will I meet Hojo?
Cloud: Eventually. We're going after Shinra.
Vincent: Maybe Lucrescia as well.
Cloud: who?
Vincent: Beautiful Lucrescia. The woman who was injected with Jenova's cells and the mother of Sephiroth.
Cloud: But isn't Jenova Sephiroth's mother?
Vincent: That is not entirely false. It is difficult to explain. But I'll explain on the way to our next destination.
As the two talked on the way out Yuffie and I did the same also.
Yuffie: Sephiroth was talking like he spoke with you before.
Perry: He has. It was at Costa Del Sol at Night. He offered me a choice.
Yuffie: A choice?
Perry: Help him in his cause and I get whatever I want or don't and not receive it.
Yuffie: You said no though.
Perry: Yes. Because that thing I had wanted. Was you.
Yuffie: me?
Perry: Yes. All my life all I wanted was for somebody other than my parents to love me. I would love them back. Who would've though I'd find it in another world.
Yuffie: That's so touching.
She took my arm and leaned her head on my shoulder. We had all eventually reached the front door and we prepared to leave.
So who exactly was that guy with Sephiroth. Weren't expecting that huh? Well I hope you enjoyed Vincent's introduction. But don't forget. Cid is still to come.
