The Wandering Heroes
Chapter 4- Final Fantasy 7
Cloud's ordeals were over at last, even though he lost someone dear to him. The one he avenged not long ago. She was Aeris, one of the only Ancients/Cetra that existed at the time. Cloud had defeated Sephiroth only 5 months ago. The people were still trying to recover from the attack on the world by Sephiroth's comet. But that was all over. The black material had been destroyed so it could never happen again. The weapons created by the planet when Jenova first arrived were destroyed. The use of mako had become forbidden in the world and the evil corporation known as Shinra had been brought down. Jenova was defeated quickly after Shinra was taken down and the entire SOLDIER that had been infected by Jenova was unfortunately killed as a cure for it couldn't be found. The Jenova cells inside Cloud were destroyed though, after he beat Sephiroth and entered the life stream the Jenova cells inside him were destroyed. This didn't happen with Sephiroth, because there was too many for it to be cured. The world was settled and they were joyous. But the one who made this dream a reality suffered more than any.....
Cloud lay hidden away in the confines of the old Shinra mansion in Nibelhiem. He had hidden himself away a lot after he defeated Sephiroth. He had nothing to preoccupy him from the pain of losing Aeris. He continually contemplated suicide, because he thought he couldn't survive without her. One thing kept him from this though, the thought of becoming a memory. What all of his actions would do to his friends? How sad they would become. He constantly researched the books inside the basement seeing all the old secrets of the Shinra. Many were startling; others were quite funny, like many of the old experiments Hojo used to do when he was an assistant, always trying to become more famous then everyone else by creating the weirdest creatures.
Tifa hadn't seen Cloud for a few days and was becoming worried about him. She ventured into the mansion peaking into all of the rooms. She came to the staircase that led to the basement and descended them hoping Cloud would be down there. The tunnel was normal now, only dirt walls and ceiling. She came into the neatly furnished room and found Cloud sitting on the desk on the far end of the room. His hands were running through his hair continuously as stress had been overflowing in him for the past week. Tifa was always depressed because of him. She knew she had feelings for him, but she didn't know if he did to her. They were constantly gnawing at her mind, telling her to let them out, but she didn't want to ruin there friendship, which she was most certain would happen if she told Cloud about her love for him, while he was in this state.
Tifa walked up to the spiky haired man and put her soft hand lightly on his hard back. He perked an eye at her. Cloud had become a lot more protective of himself and hid most of his feelings inside. He resumed his stare at the floor, hoping she would just leave him alone.
"Hello Cloud...I have good news..." Tifa said to him hoping to cheer him up. He just sat there in his position and seemed to ignore her.
"Barret is getting married. His fiancée is really nice. You should go meet her..." She suggested to Cloud hoping he would leave the dark mansion.
Cloud's expression didn't change. He let his arms fall to his side and he straightened his back, so he sat at full height. Tifa became much more joyous at his reaction. She gave Cloud a heart-warming smile and Cloud stared at Tifa. She seemed so care-free to him, always trying to cheer everyone up. He kin of liked that. He felt himself having affection for her, but he quickly banished it away. He didn't want to feel this way anymore. Not getting close to anyone seemed like the solution to this. Tifa knew he was thinking this and knew it would only make his heart yearn for a new love even more. She hoped it could be her that could give him that love.
Cloud nodded his head and made his way toward the staircase. Tifa's spirits had risen as he walked away from her. She had expected him to have a positive attitude toward this, but it was beyond her hopes that he would leave. He had spent countless nights here and no matter what any of his friends had done he wouldn't leave while he was there. Tifa ran after him letting out a giggle for the heck of it. The sound rang inside Cloud's ear. He hadn't heard anything that nice since he last heard Aeris. He quickly shook it from his mind and thought no more of it.
Cloud came stomping out of the mansion walking slowly along the dirt path. Tifa followed not far behind him. They made their way to Cloud's house. He flung the door open and walked up to his bedroom. Tifa stood at the bottom of the staircase and waited there for him to return.
After a few minutes Cloud came back out. The only thing that had changed was that his large Buster Sword was strapped to his back.
"You still carry that thing around? I don't even were my gloves anymore... There aren't many monsters alive anymore you know." Cloud walked blankly down the steps one by one. As he passed Tifa he gave her a very intensive glare. She just stood there and started back, holding her ground firmly and doing a good job too. Cloud didn't understand her anymore. She didn't avoid his death glares like everyone else. Yet she still acts very nice to me. Tifa sure is a confusing one. They stepped out of the house and started there walk to the newly built tram system. It had been extended all across the continent. They each filed onto the small carriage. No one else was on. Not long after they got on it started to downpour.
"There at Barrett's house in North Corel. After Shinra was overthrown a lot of the money was given to the towns and cities that suffered because of the Mako Reactors. North Corel is really nice now. It's good you are able to get out like this. Don't you like the change?" Tifa asked. Cloud just stared out of the window at the darkening land below. Tifa looked into his empty eyes. They used to be such a beautiful turquoise blue. After the fight with Sephiroth they became an empty grey, an endless void on his face. Tifa hated it. She hated Sephiorth. Why did it have to happen to Cloud?
The tram car came to an abrupt stop as they arrived at the station in North Corel. Tifa nearly fell of her seat, but quickly regained herself before Cloud could notice. They exited the carriage and went into the rain. They were totally unprepared for the storm. They made there way for the town not far from there. They ventured farther and father into the night rain. They came to a large gate made of many metal bars and on the top was a large eagle. There was a small cabin not far from the gate and they approached it. As they came to the door a tall lanky man appeared from the cabin. He opened up an umbrella and looked at the two.
"Ah! It's just you Ms. Tifa. Lord Barret told me you'd be coming soon." The man said with a rather high-pitched voice.
"Hey I thought I told you not to call me miss anymore." She said a small tone of annoyance in her voice. Cloud was quite confused; 'Barret had never been called Lord in North Corel before. I guess he's like a hero here. Nibelhiem is too stupid to know when the own neighbor goes out and saves the world. Lucky Barret...' he thought to himself. The gatekeeper opened the gate for them and they went inside as the gate closed behind them.
Inside Cloud was stupefied by what he saw. The once rundown dump that was known as a town, was know a rather huge city. There was about three or four skyscrapers that stood out plainly. The lights on them shone like stars. They seemed to be one with the sky. There was many beautiful plants around, ranging from huge trees with tree trunks bigger than a truck to small red flowers that seemed to glow even in the horrible rain. The buildings themselves were made of pure rock. Not ugly brown rock, but nice white rock. The houses were very well kept and the lawns seemed like treasures all there own. The city was obviously not like Midgar. This was a city evenly blended with nature and human works. This balance made the city one of the most beautiful. This was just a sample of the real thing. When the storm passed then they would be able to see the true North Corel.
They were heading for a rather large house. Not as big as a mansion, but still big enough for anyone to be comfortable in. The lawn was split in two; on one side was empty grass with a few flowers specked here and there. The other was a messier place. There was a few lawn chairs lying around. And some beer cans. Cloud just passed by not really noticing much but thought to himself, 'This is where Barret lives? Never thought he would live in a rich place like this...' They came to the door, which was a tall one painted pure red. In the middle was a door knocker shaped as a eagle head with the eyes staring menacingly at the guest. Tifa raised her hand and grasped the knocker. She slammed it hard and let it fall back to the door.
Cloud felt very uncomfortable and wished he could disappear and go back to Nibelhiem, no matter how much he hated it. The door opened as Barret came peeking out. His shaven head pulled back in as he flung the door open all the way. He was extremely surprised to see Cloud there. His eyes were full of joy as he stared at them. He gazed at them for a moment and then moved to the side for them to enter, himself lost for words. He closed the door behind them and turned toward them and held his arms open.
"Cloud! I wasn't expecting you, not that I'm not happy, but god damn where you have been all these months!" Cloud just stood there looking aimlessly about, but his gaze landed on his gun hand or former gun hand. The silver gun hand was gone from his arm and instead there was a metallic hand there that Barret flexed once or twice while he watched. He quickly tore away from it and examined the room.
Barret's hopes went down as he saw him ignoring him. Barret had looked over from Cloud and back to Tifa, but something he didn't want to see caught his eye. Tifa's shirt was sticking to her and her nipples were showing. Barret quickly turned and turned a dark shade of red that was even visible on his dark skin.
"Um...uh... Tifa...um you're...ah..." He said pointing at her shirt. He she looked down and immediately turned red. She quickly covered herself with her arms and looked down as her blush intensified as Cloud turned toward her. Tifa looked really embarrassed, but her attention was quickly diverted.
In came a very happy Marlene. Her arms flung out in front of her as she flung herself onto Tifa's legs. Barret watched on with a smile on his face as she hugged her legs. Cloud looked blankly at her entrance and quickly diverted his attention to something else in the room. Marlene let go of her and looked up at her. Her whole entire shirt was wet now, but Marlene didn't care. Barret scooped her up and placed her on his left shoulder. Tifa looked over to Cloud who ignored the other two. She elbowed him in the ribs and looked angrily down at her with another death glare. She just stuck her tongue out at him and cloud rolled his eyes at her.
"Oh come on and talk with us. You know you want to." Tifa tried to persuade him.
Cloud looked away and said quietly, "No..."
"Oh come on, just a few sentences." She said poking him some more with her elbow.
Cloud turned around and yelled down at her, "I said NO!" Tifa was taken back by him and tears started to build in Marlene's eyes. Cloud flung the door open and stomped out into the raging storm.
He hated to be with other people, especially when they tell him to do all these things ever since Sephiroth was gone. He started back for the gate hoping to get back to the confines of the mansion. He started walking down the street when he heard soft foot steps behind him. He knew they were Tifa's. So he ran. He turned down a side street and down and alley. He could still here Tifa behind him so he kept ruing. He finally came to a large patch of woods. It seemed to be a park of some sort. He ran into there. He could still here her behind him, the thudding bouncing off the trees. Then they stopped. He guessed she was too tired to run. He stopped and turned around. He was expecting to see Tifa panting for breathe but only saw her feet being dragged behind a bush and disappearing. He stood there for a moment before finally coming to his senses. He ran after them into the bushes, and pushed it out of the way.
His Buster Sword was of no use here. He couldn't find a thing in the dense undergrowth. He then hit something hard. He fell back and landed hard.
He heard a man yell, "OWWWW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!! OH SOMEONE IS TO GOING FUCKIN' PAY!!!" Cloud stood up and peered over the bushes. He spotted two men. One of them had a long red cape and a black shirt on under. The other man was on the round rubbing his head and yelling every curse in the book. Vincent looked up at Cloud and an actual smile appeared on his face.
"If it isn't Cloud..." Cid looked up at Cloud and a smile sprung from his face as well.
"Cloud?! How the hell of ya been? What the hell have you been thinking locking yourself up in that old mansion?" He said punching him lightly on the shoulder. Cloud gave Cid him a trade mark death glare. Cid immediately backed off and went next to Vincent.
Cloud started off into the woods, but Vincent said to him, "Hey what are you doing out here anyways?" Cloud stopped and turned around.
"Tifa... was being dragged away..." He said blankly. Cid looked at him with a look of surprise.
"What?! Well then what the hell are you doing here?! COME ON!" He said yanking Cloud and Vincent into the woods.
That just got them lost even more. They were running around in the woods for what seemed hours. The rain didn't help either. It seemed to be getting worse at that. All of them were soaked to the bone and it just agitated Cloud more. They finally came to what seemed like a path, not very neat, but still noticeable to be an old path of some sort. They followed this for a while until they came to a small clearing.
There was Tifa. She seemed even wetter n they were. She was sitting on her legs, one leg sticking out from under her. Her arms were hanging limp next to her. Tifa was obviously crying. Cloud went wide-eyed as he saw her first. Before he could do anything for her he felt an extreme pain in the back of his head. He fell forward being on the verge of unconsciousness. Before he was totally knocked out he could see a silhouette off someone coming behind Tifa and hitting her over the head. At that moment he hated himself. He hated himself, because he couldn't do a thing for her and then all went black for him and the rest of them......
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Tifa was the first to wake. They seemed to be in a forest... on a riverbank. She looked around and saw Cloud, Vincent, and Cid not far away. They were all sleeping though. She was still wet all over. He ran over to Cloud and bent next to his face.
"Cloud! Cloud wake up! Cloud!" Cloud's eyes flickered open. At first his heart was filled with joy at seeing Tifa, but then the memories came back to him, and the joy was quickly replaced by loneliness and sadness. He leaned up from his sleep and looked about him. His Buster Sword was still strapped on which made him some what happy, but didn't show it. He walked over to Vincent who got up as well. Not long after that everyone was awake.
Cid started up the bank and found himself on a road, a dirt road to be exact. He looked up and down the road. He saw a group of people walking there way. It was a fair amount. He could say it was about, 5 or 6 of them, most where laughing and talking. Cid ran back down the bank
"Eh! There's a group of people coming this way!"
"Well that's good! At least we can find out where we are!" Tifa yelled back at Cid. Cloud looked up from his seat on a rock and watched the approaching group. They seemed nice enough. They looked kind of different. 3 of them seemed to where a different style of clothing while the others wore clothes kind of like there's. Cloud stood up from his seat, which made everyone look at him. He ignored there stares and walked up to the road.
Sano stopped laughing for one second as Yahiko finished up his joke. He looked at Cloud in the middle of the road.
"Hey you guys hold up." Sano told the others. They all stopped and looked over to Sano for an explanation, but got none from him. Cloud started walking up to them with an intimidating sword on his back. Then Tifa ran up in front of Cloud and whispered something in his ear. Cloud turned back to the other 2 and Tifa walked up to Sano.
"Um, hi. I was hoping you could help us out with something" She said all the while covering her chest.
Sano sighed and said, "Here we go again. Just follow us... We'll explain everything."

"Well that's good! At least we can find out where we are!" Tifa yelled back at Cid. Cloud looked up from his seat on a rock and watched the approaching group. They seemed nice enough. They looked kind of different. 3 of them seemed to where a different style of clothing while the others wore clothes kind of like there's. Cloud stood up from his seat, which made everyone look at him. He ignored there stares and walked up to the road.
Sano stopped laughing for one second as Yahiko finished up his joke. He looked at Cloud in the middle of the road.
"Hey you guys hold up." Sano told the others. They all stopped and looked over to Sano for an explanation, but got none from him. Cloud started walking up to them with an intimidating sword on his back. Then Tifa ran up in front of Cloud and whispered something in his ear. Cloud turned back to the other 2 and Tifa walked up to Sano.
"Um, hi. I was hoping you could help us out with something" She said all the while covering her chest.
Sano sighed and said, "Here we go again. Just follow us... We'll explain everything."
