When Cloud woke up he noticed none of his friends were near. Rubbing his
head he got up off the ground and looked around. "Where am I?" he said as
he picked up his sword. He looked around the area from where he stood and
saw nothing. He didn't see a person, town, not a thing. Just a wide-open
grassland. "Tifa! Barret! Tidus!" he yelled, but no answer. He decided to
look around the area in search for a friend. As Cloud searched for his
friends a fiend appeared and attacked him. Thinking quickly he dodged the
attacked and killed the beast with no regrets. He spit on it and kept
walking. "Hmmm, I've never seen a fiend that weak before. I must in Spira
now." Cloud thought. He thought he saw a house so he ran towards it
quickly. When he got there he ask the owner of what appeared to be a shop
if he had seen his friends. The person said something in another language
so Cloud didn't understand. "Have you seen my friends?" Cloud said in a
large voice stretching the words. The man said something and then grabbed
Cloud by the arm and took him into a backroom. There on a bed was Tifa,
asleep and well. Cloud went to the bed, sat on the side and watched her
sleep. The man said something again and pointed to another bed. Cloud
looked at the bed and then looked at Tifa. He decided to let her rest and
he could get some resting in too. He went to Tifa, kissed her on the
forehead and then went to the bed. As he got in it he looked at her once
again. "Thank God you're alright," he said as he went to sleep. ***
"Hey silly! Get up!" Tifa said as she shook Cloud until he woke up. "Huh? Wha? Where am I?" Cloud said not quite awake yet.
"Uhhh, I think we are in an shop on the 'Calm Lands'."
"The 'Calm Lands'? Hmm, did Tidus ever say where he was from?"
"Well, he said Spira but nothing else."
"Yeah well, we're in Spira. I was looking for a city name."
"We're in Spira!?Cool!"
"Well, I guess we'd better head out. If we find Tidus we can find Sephiroth."
"How?"
"Well, he said Sephiroth is Sin now and he defeated Sin before, so he knows where Sephiroth is hiding."
"Oh, I knew that." Tifa said with a big grin on her face.
Cloud and Tifa laughed for the minute and then went on their way. Before they left they ask the store manager if he had any items. As usual he said something they didn't understand and then showed them what he had to offer. Cloud picked up a sword that said "Duel Blade" on the tag. Tifa put on this type of glove but there were spikes on the knuckles and armor on it covered her forearm. "So Cloud, what do ya think? Does this make me look hot?" Tifa said as she giggled and posed for Cloud. Cloud laughed a little and swung his sword around to see if it was better than his old one. When Cloud was content with his new found weapon he paid the man and they were off. Before they could leave a creature that had fur and a horn on its head walked into the store area. He told Cloud and Tifa that he found a man in red with black hair and a golden hand on Mt. Gagazet. He pointed them in the direction of who they thought could be Vincent and they ran towards the mountains. As they drew near to the mountains a large fiend of what appeared to be a giant worm ambushed them. Tifa dodged the worms attack and then counterattacked using her new weapon. Seeing this creature had not died like the first one Cloud encountered he attacked it using his new weapon. Still the creature didn't die so Tifa uses a magic spell on it. "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" she said as she cast Fira on it. The beast still didn't die. All of the sudden a creature looking almost exactly like the one who told them where Vincent was joined the battle. This one looked slightly different, having blue tint fur and half a horn. He used an attack that let him gain HP and MP and he learned the fiend's attacks. He then attacked the creature by jumping into the air and stabbing his spear into it, killing it. "I am Kimahri," he said. He guided them up the mountains to Mt. Gagazet. When they got there a bunch of Ronso jumped up on the outer edge of the mountain and told them to stop. Kimahri said that they were friends but the others didn't listen. Cloud and Tifa had to fight two of the strongest Ronso there were. Cloud used his "Beam Blade" attack and knocked them down to half HP. Tifa then used the magic spell "Thundaga" and knocked out both of them. The Ronso then let the two in and led them to where Vincent was resting. When they got there he was in a bed, bandages on his head and his leg. "He had a bad fall. Fell from sky, landed on rock." Kimahri said. Cloud and Tifa sat there and waited for Vincent to wake up.
"Hey silly! Get up!" Tifa said as she shook Cloud until he woke up. "Huh? Wha? Where am I?" Cloud said not quite awake yet.
"Uhhh, I think we are in an shop on the 'Calm Lands'."
