Dark Sword- Chapter 2
I guess people liked chapter 1, so I'm going to put up another, but please, give me your feedback, good and bad. I need it all to make this at all decent.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from LOTR or FF7, though having an elf around would be nice.
Tifa sighed with relief. Though it had been nice destroying meteor and saving to world, the furor over the members of their party was getting quiet annoying. Not being able to go anywhere without being followed and asking for autographs was very tiring, not to mention all the special events and TV shows they were asked to be on. So when Cid had just shown up at her house one day (on the roof) with the Highwind and the rest of the group, she gladly agreed to go on a vacation go on a getaway trip with them, not even bothering to ask where they were going. She now stood in the cockpit, looking out of the window into the clouds that flew by them.
"What's up Tif?" Cloud asked, coming entering the chamber. "Happy to get away?"
"You have no idea." She breathed, turning around to face him.
"Hey spike-head, what have you been doing for the past month?" Barret asked, also entering behind him. Tifa had the feeling that he didn't really have any interest in Cloud's activities, but simply wanted an excuse to call him "spike-head' Cloud probably saw this too, because he launched into a very tedious and boring explanation about a "paper" that he was "writing" having to do with the anatomy of some sort of robot and the physiological powers that would weaken it. Whatever it was, it caused Barret to run once again out of the cockpit with his hands over his ears, and a very smug Cloud.
"Who scared Barret away?" asked a very hyper Yuffie, walking in with Vincent and Red XVI. Cloud raised his hand lazily, causing the very young girl to fall into a fit of laughter despite the fact that she was supposed to be "plane sick". Vincent was his usual, silent self, not acknowledging any of them but standing to the side, just listening to the conversation. Tifa was beginning to wonder why he had bothered to come on the trip, but her thoughts did get far before they were interrupted by a string of curses from Cid.
"What in the @#(^&@#($ is that?" he asked allowed, peering out into the sky at a dark mass of some kind that seemed to change colors slowly and sickly.
"I don't know," Cloud said, "But I don't like it, change course now!"
"Who's the Captain of this ship? You or me?" Cid asked angrily, but he gave the directions to the person steering to move switch direction. However, the young assistant who was controlling it gave a small cry when he realized that he couldn't switch directions. They were heading towards it, and their course was set.
"Take cover!" Cid yelled, half trying to change course and half trying to find a spot to protect himself, panicking all the while. The entire group got as low as they could, bracing themselves for the impact of the strange thing near them.
Aragorn put his head in his hands, dreading what would soon come. Compulsively he raised his head back up again and gave orders.
"Try to see if you can get the children to say anything else about what they saw. Round up your 50 best men captain, we ride to this village now!" The Captain saluted and left. If he had any confusion over the sheer number of soldiers that Aragorn requested due to the fact that the lord never liked to have more then a few bodyguards, he didn't show it. After he left, Legolas rose from his chair
"Are you sure that is a wise course of action?" He asked. Aragorn sighed loudly and replied quietly.
"I don't know if anything is wise. Nothing makes and sense to me at all, but we must stop it, for the destruction that is wrecks is horrifying and we must try to stem it. You should stay here Legolas, you are in no shape to-"
"You really think that I would?" Legolas asked indignantly. "I am fine to ride and fight!" Aragorn shook his head, but he was too confused to argue with the stubborn elf. Besides, he knew it would be no help.
By the time that the company left, it was the dead of night. As quietly as they could they rode south towards the destruction.
To the entire company's surprise and brief relief, no impact came. However, they simply found themselves in midair, with no ship under them, and they quickly began to fall towards the ground.
Tifa landed surprisingly softly on what looked to be a bed of moss. Though they had been thousands of feet up in the air, the fall had not seemed that much.
"Cloud? Barret? Cid? Yuffie? Are you guys ok?" From somewhere nearby she heard two different voices string together similar curses and she had to smile, knowing the Cid and Barret were fine. Soon after she heard another voice, "Oh GAWD! Where the heck are we?" A very annoyed Yuffie who was covered in leaves asked. The troop banded together and found them in a strange forest indeed, nothing that looked at all familiar.
"I have no idea," Said a normally silent Vincent without any hint of emotion in his voice. Tifa looked around. The place was actually quite pretty with tall, green trees, and a forest floor covered in moss and other greenery. From overhead she could see that it was very dark, which was strange because it had been daylight when they was last been in the Highwind.
"Is every OK?" Red XVI asked, obviously having landed on his feet due to the fact that there was no greenery on him and he looked unscathed.
"No!" Cid answered flatly, letting out another string of curses.
"Well, I don't know if it will matter any longer." Cloud said, turning around. The rest of the company followed slowly, each gasping at what they saw.
A tall man and another creature that slightly resembled the man though he had long flowing golden hair and pointed ears were standing there, the former with a sword and the latter with a strung bow. Behind the two was a company of at least 50 soldiers.
