My Dead Angel
Chapter 5- It begins....
Colantel sighed, although it took Jet a while to find some men he succeeded. Colantel chuckled quietly to himself, Dear Yuffie, how you'll tremble when you realize I don't have one but two of your most trusted and dearest treasures. Colantel opened his hand slowly which revealed a palm, in the center sat the ring resting and looking innocent. Just then Jet walked in, " Ready sir?" " How can something so small, be so terrifying?" Jet paused for a moment before replying, " Because they are the ones usually under-estimated. " Ah, yes...of course the small ones are always under-estimated." Colantel clenched his fist tightly, " Well then, looks like we'll be the ones winning..." He got up and walked slowly over to the small chest. Opening it he laid the ring down and closed it, once more engulfing the ring in darkness. " We go now, that way we'll have a head start."
Jet nodded his head and moved aside as Colantel walked passed him, brushing his shoulder slightly. They walked down the long corridor. It was poorly lighted and there were few people seen. This area was basically Colantel's, only people of great importance came through here to see him. It was usually considered an honor to meet him, that is of course if you're the bad guys. Colantel quickly grabbed his long black coat, it was lined with the fur of Nibelheim wolves. This would surely keep him warm. He would have said something about the color, but of course Black was his color and what was he too fear? "What shall be our transportation?" A young soldier round the corner and briskly caught up to them. " Sir," He said as he saluted Colantel, Colantel mimicked. " We shall be riding chocobos', there fast and we can cover more ground to get to our destination." Colantel gave a quick glance to the young soldier." What type of chocobo's?" The soldier paused a moment as though trying to decide what to tell him. " I believe....black chocobos'." Colantel grunted slightly as a reply and continued his way towards the men awaiting him.
Jet jogged slightly to keep up with him. Hmm...he seems troubled, Hah! The Almighty Great Colantel troubled. Just like Sephiroth who failed in everything besides fighting. Will we too fall as he did? Probably. I wouldn't be so sure of yourself. Why should you be? ..... As I thought. Be quiet I have work to do. Then get to it...slacker. Look who's talking. Jet smirked slightly, before stepping outside of the cave and being bathed in light. He quickly brought his hand up to his face in a weak attempt to block the light that had invaded his sight. " Let's go." Jet nodded his head and whistled. Twenty-five men came trotting up with twenty seven black chocobo's. Jet grabbed two of them and walked over to Colantel, he handed his the reins and then hopped on. Colantel shook his head, I Hate chocobos. He sighed once more before hopping on. " Move out men." They all complied and hopped on the chocobo's. Their destination, Nibelheim Mountains.

"Come on Vinnie!" Vinnie sighed, Yuffie seemed so enthusiastic about meeting her doom. I shouldn't be so hard on her...Vincent knew it was just some fake act she was putting on. " I'm coming don't worry...." Yuffie smiled slightly. Before walking outside, " Cloudie!" Cloud flinched, lately she seemed to be giving everybody nicknames. Tifa's was just Tif, Barret Was M Bear. Which meant Marshmallow bear, Red was almighty one, Cait Sith, was cat molester, Cid was old fart, and last but not least was Vincent who was Vinnie. Everyone who heard Yuffie call Cloud Cloudie snickered. Cloud gave them the best death glare he could give them. " Hmm?" " Where's the chocobo's!!!???" " Uh...over there?" Cloud said as he pointed towards a small pen which contained eight chocobos'. They weren't of any color Yuffie has seen chocobos' come in. " Their...white?" " Yup, the knew and improved chocobos'. There faster, the known top speed of them is 300. Which is fast if you ask me. They have more stamina and are much more intelligent then the best raised Golden chocobo in the world." " Uh...impressing I guess."
Cloud smiled, proud of sounding so intelligent. Tifa just shook her head, " Can we begin now?" Cloud nodded his head and everybody followed him to the Chocobo pen. Immediately the chocobos' ran up, excited that they might be going somewhere. Yuffie sighed, " What's their names?" Cloud scratched his head, " Uh...still working on that." " Geez..." " Is everybody packed?" They all nodded their heads as Cloud opened the gate to the pen and walked inside. " Well, choose your chocobo. Uh...Red you'll have to run...cause no chocobo is going to carry a carnivore. " Of course....Cloudie." Cloud glared at Red before mumbling, " Stupid dog..." " I am NOT a DOG!!!" " Then what are you!?" Red faltered for a moment before replying, " An almost extinct species." " What is the so-called name of these species?" " Hmm....we're known as T Stalkers so there." " Meaning you stalk people?" Red growled slightly before replying, " If you like I could use you for target practice." Cloud paled for a moment, before smiling and hopping on his chocobo. " Let's go....Move out." Everyone sighed before climbing on the chocobos'. " I hope everybody has something warm on." Tifa's eyes twinkled slightly as she looked at Yuffie, mischievously. " Huh?" Tifa smiled before making her chocobo walk a few steps in front of Yuffie. " Missing something Yuffie?" Tifa then pulled out Knights of the Rounds...mastered. " Oh my God! Give it back you thief!"
" Never!" Tifa kicked her chocobo slightly on the side and she was off. Yuffie was hot on her trail. " I'm naming you Wind Caller, let's go get that thief eh?" Yuffie smiled at the bird as it warked loudly and quickly caught up to Tifa. Tifa noticed very quickly how Yuffie's bird was practically right by her side. " CLOUD I THOUGHT YOU SAID THERE ALL ONLY 300!!!!!!!!!!" Tifa shouted as loudly as she could on chocobo back. Yuffie smiled, " Wind caller, I'm gonna jump keep at the side so once I get the materia I can hop right back on you!" Yuffie whispered slightly in its ear. The bird warked once more before getting right next to Tifa's bird, Yuffie leaped. " Hah! Yuffie quickly fished in Tifa's pocket, she grabbed the materia, " Wind CALLER!!!" The bird brushed up against the other bird and Yuffie leaped back on. " Too Bad for you, Tif." Yuffie then directed her bird back to the others whom had followed them.

" Yuffie, why do you get that bird?" Tifa said as she pointed towards the bird that Yuffie named Wind Caller. " Aw, don't be mad Tif, there's nobody in the world who can beat me at getting things back." " Oh really?" Yuffie smiled, " Hey Cloudie, can I have Wind Caller, PLEASE?" " Well, if you give me back my Quadra." " Indian GIVER!" " Or no Chocobo." Yuffie's shoulders slumped in defeat, " Here." She held out the purple orb to him. Cloud smiled, " She's yours." " Thanks Cloudie." Yuffie smiled evilly, then trotted over to the chocobo. She patted its head before crawling in hers and Vinnie's tent. Zipping it up, she chuckled quietly to herself. " YUFFIE!" Yuffie flinched slightly. She sighed then was about to lie back when she felt arms encircle her waist. She panicked for a moment, " What did you do this time?" Yuffie relaxed it was just Vinnie. " Oh nothing." " There's a cave about 200 yards away from our small little camp, while you guys were chasing each other we did some exploring. We figured the ring's in there. So sleep well, tomorrow we might have the third ring." He whispered slightly in her ear, his breath tickling her ear slightly. " Fine, dear." She smiled slightly before falling back into his arms and giving him a kiss. " Good night." She closed her eyes and allowed herself to dream, she knew she would be safe, Vincent was by her side...wasn't he?
