Crossfire AMG-FF7 Chapter 4: Masamune's Secret

"What in the world is going on here!?" Keiichi grabbed onto a wooden beam as another tremor erupted. The ground was shaking violently as Keiichi trashed around, losing his grip on the wooden beam.

"Eeeaagh!!!"

Keiichi bounced around until the earthquake finally subsided, leaving the Temple, and Keiichi, in one hell-of-a-mess.

"Geez!" Keiichi dusted himself and stood up, "That's the fifth time already!"

Two hours, and a few short rumbles after, there was a knock on the gates of the Temple.

Keiichi blinked, "Now who could THAT be?" He walked towards the gate then shouted, "Who is it?"

"Metropolitan police, may we please come in?" A voice came from beyond the Temple door.

"Oh, okay..." Keiichi sighed, and then afterwards proceeded to unlock the door. The wooden gate swung open for not one, but two women police officers. They were in their standard regulation uniforms, but seemed to be untidy for some reason.

The woman with a ponytail introduced herself, "I'm Officer Miyuki Kobayakawa."

Then the short-haired one next, "And I'm Natsumi Tsujimoto."

"I'm Keiichi Morisato, nice to meet you officers," Keiichi gave them a hearty handshake, "what seems to be the problem?"

"Well," Natsumi scratched her head, "we were sent here to check up on the houses... To see if everybody's okay."

"It was a very huge earthquake, after all," Miyuki checked the surroundings of the Temple, "Is anyone injured?"

"Uh, no... Actually I'm the only one here right now." Keiichi replied.

"Whoa! And you managed to survive this mess?" the short-haired officer blurted. Miyuki immediately gave her a quick elbow. "E-he-he... Sorry." Natsumi grinned.

"Well," Keiichi folded his arms and thought, "I DID get the beating of my life... Luckily, all I have are bruises," He then lifts one of his arms to reveal a black-and-blue spot below his elbow. "How about you, officers? You two look like you walked from the metro to get here..."

"Actually, we WERE on a police car, but when the tremors got too frequent, it became far too dangerous to use a vehicle. We had no choice but to abandon it and walk here." Miyuki explained.

"Oh..."

Natsumi peered into the Temple, and saw everything in shambles, "Man! Look at this mess! Hey Mr. Morisato, can we be of any use here?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, we can help you fix your things up and bolt them down so they won't fall again."

"Oh, alright then."

"Okay," the pony tailed officer fixed her sleeves up, "Let's get to work, Natsumi."

"Wait, let me help you with that," Keiichi said as he went to help Natsumi, who was already picking up some things, "it's my mess, after all... Gah!!!" Keiichi reeled back as he saw Natsumi lift an entire set of furniture with her inhumane strength.

"Well, that's my partner for you." Miyuki shrugged, "shall we...?"

"Okay..."

Miyuki followed after Keiichi into the temple and the three worked together piecing the place back to normal.

At Midgar, things were starting to turn for the worse when the ominous tremors broke out. Twelve consecutive quakes occurred, and it left the once glorious Mako-city in a more dire condition than before.

"God! This place is falling in on itself!!" Cloud ran through the city, trying to look for more survivors. He came across two children under unstable roofing. They were scared to death, unable to move from where they were.

"It's alright... This place is dangerous now... Come with me, I'll take you somewhere safer." Cloud tried to calm the children down as he went to them.

"Oookay, here we go..." Cloud carried the two on both arms... Then, disaster strikes...

The thirteenth earthquake came like a shockwave through Midgar, and it was by far the strongest among all the previous ones. Cloud fell flat on his back, but he made sure the children didn't get hurt. But the worst is yet to come...

Suddenly, the beam supporting the roofing sundered, and it went on a fast descent towards the blonde-haired man and the two frightened children. Cloud held on fast and lifted his gigantic sword up to protect the survivors. He closed his eyes and prayed for a miracle...

There was a loud crashing sound from far away - Cloud could hear it audibly. He wondered why the roof hasn't fallen on them yet, and then he opened his eyes... He saw the crimson-red afternoon sky instead of the debris of the supposed roof.

Cloud sat up and released his protective grip on the two children.

"What happened?" He asked himself, as he surveyed his surroundings more clearly. Then he finally understood... There outside the broken walls of the shelter lay debris of wood, glass and metal sheets - the roof, aside it stood his 'savior', Cloud thought... a girl with two huge yo-yos that were wound around a protruding part of the wood. Apparently this girl had shot her yo-yos up to the falling structure and pulled it towards her, avoiding what could have been a terrible accident.

Cloud ran up and thanked her.

"No prob... I'm just helping in anyway I can..." The girl replied.

"Hey, you're pretty skilled with those things..." Cloud pointed at the yo-yos.

"Heh... I can control them like they were a part of my body. By the way, the name's Yoko. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Cloud Strife."

"Really, am I THAT famous now?" Cloud scratched his head and laughed a bit.

"The city folks talk about you all the time, y'know. They say that you and your group were the ones responsible for stopping the meteor. And with Mr. Reeve backing you up with evidence, why wouldn't they believe in it?"

"Wow..." was all Cloud could say, "I guess we've been branded the heroes now."

"Yep!" Yoko raised her hand high, "All hail Cloud the Courageous!"

The young hero has a weird look on his face.

"E-he-he..." Yoko blushed and scratched her cheek, "that didn't come out right."

Both of them laughed. Then an announcement came in...

PEOPLE OF MIDGAR, THIS IS REEVE WITH URGENT NEWS. DUE TO UNAVOIDABLE CIRCUMTANCES, I AM ISSUING AN ORDER FOR EVACUATION FROM MIDGAR CITY. WE CANNOT RISK ANYMORE LIVES IF ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE WERE TO HIT SOON. PLEASE LOOK FOR SURVIVORS AND EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. A HEAD COUNT OUTSIDE THE CITY PERIMETERS WILL BEGIN IN 5 HOURS. THAT IS ALL.

Yoko had a depressed look all of a sudden, "So, I guess this is goodbye to Midgar..."

Cloud put a hand on Yoko's shoulder, "At least we did the best we could to restore it."

"I guess..." Yoko had a hopeful smile, and wiped away her tears.

"Come on then. Let's search for more survivors!"

"Right!"

With that, the two dashed off into the ruins of what used to be a glorious Mako-city.

Aerith was deep-kissing Belldandy. She wrapped her arms around the Goddess' neck ever so gently and closed her eyes, savoring the warmth of Belldandy's mouth.

Belldandy returned the favor by embracing the Ancient by the waist and flicking her tongue on Aerith's.

Blissful eternity passed as the two women went on... and on... and on; their love lock seemed never to be broken, until Aerith slowly pulled her head away. She caressed Belldandy's cheek lovingly before settling her head down on the Goddess' busty chest.

Belldandy put her hand on Aerith's head and stroked her long, brown hair over and over while the other clasped the Ancient's free hand.

The two beauties were spent, and were about to slumber, when Aerith stirred...

"This has been... a wonderful experience for me... Thank you Bell."

"You're welcome... Seeing you happy makes me feel happy too..."

Aerith's raised her head for a while and briefly kissed Belldandy on the cheek, and whispered, "I love you..."

Belldandy turned to face her 'lover', and they stared at each others eyes. Their passion grew weak now as they began to feel sleepy.

"Goodnight, my love..." 'Bell' rested her head back, and Aerith followed as she dug her face between the Goddess' neck and shoulder. With that, sleep came over them...

- - - - -

"Hmm..." Belldandy gave out a soft yawn as she fluttered her eyes open. She cradled the still sleeping Aerith with one arm as she sat up. The Ancient fuzzed around a bit, but didn't wake.

*My... This almost feels like a dream... The Goddess of the Present thought, *But... here she is... sleeping like an angel... Now I feel attached to her... and I don't know why...

Then she remembered why she was sent here in the first place.

*Oh Aerith... Why do you want to go back so badly...? I'll take care of you here... You don't have to worry about anything... as long as I'm here with you...

Belldandy diverted her eyes from Aerith's peaceful face for a while as she studied her lithe body. Being completely naked, Belldandy could see the flower girl's beautiful form.

*So beautiful... and perfect...

Then she focused her attention on Aerith's stab wound. It was healed, but it still had that rosy-pink tinge that made it too obvious to overlook.

*A painful scar of the past... I should remove it... for her...

Belldandy lifted Aerith's head off her lap and gently settled it down on the ground. She then moved around to the Ancient's middle area. The Goddess moved her hand near the wound and began to whisper a spell, when she suddenly felt a surge across her head. The shock turned into a throbbing pulse that was too painful to bear, until Belldandy was plagued with a horrible headache.

"W-w-what... i-is this...?" She held her temple with one hand as she resumed examining Aerith's stab wound. As she went nearer, the pain became stronger and stronger. Her eyes were starting to well up with tears, but she continued - she had to know what's really happening to her and Aerith. "I-is... t-t-this it?"

Belldandy scanned the wound using her free hand, and then the information just rushed to her head in a split second. The strange pulses slowly ceased, but the Goddess of the Present was shaken by the naked truth...

*Oh no... She's infected with a virus!!!"

- - - - -

The outer walls of the huge Mako-city were starting to fall apart. City folk and other plate residents desperately tried to escape the crumbling Midgar. Makeshift officers and police made sure that anyone who made it safely outside were accounted for. Rescue teams moved about non- stop to scour the towering piles of rubble, searching for survivors. The havoc that ensued kept the people in panic; no one would dare stand still even for a second.

A mother carrying her baby son raced through the dusty streets in the hope of getting away safely. Swiftly, she dodged boulders and debris that were scattered throughout the place.

But as she neared a safety-zone, the panicking mother failed to notice a small tube of metal protruding from the ground. She accidentally tripped over it, but before she could hit the ground she quickly pivoted so she lands on her back, moving her baby away from harm.

Now the child was crying, but the mother was glad, at least, that he wasn't hurt. She gave a short sigh of relief as she got up.

Suddenly, a huge explosion rocked the area where the mother and son were, moments later a huge fragment of concrete flew towards their direction.

Hopelessness had consumed the young lady's thoughts. Everything she had hoped for seemed to be vanishing as the concrete structure neared...

But then, when the burning structure was inches away from the young mother, a stream of laser and a couple of rockets came fourth from behind her. The beam struck the falling concrete first, diverting it from its primary direction, the two rockets that followed obliterated the structure into fine dust.

The lady was rendered speechless; the grey mist made her cough a bit. Then a voice came from behind her:

"Are you alright?" the tone was stern and low.

The mother turned to meet her life saver... They were two people; the one closer had white hair and deep blue eyes. His body was well-built, and scars of war were everywhere. But the strangest thing is that this young man was missing an arm, instead it was replaced with something that resembled a rifle.

The other youthful person had a red bandana on his head, covering his long brown hair. He donned something like a Tae-Kwon-Do uniform, blue gloves and a rubber shoe. The young lady was awe-stricken when she saw that his other leg was made entirely of metal; it made a hard 'clang' on the ground as the young man walked towards her.

"T-thank you..."

"Go." The gun-armed man gestured. The young mother hesitated, then acknowledged. She nodded to the two men and dashed off to the safety-zone.

After the woman had gone, the one with the bandana came up to the white-haired man and sighed, "You really should lighten up, y'know."

"We cannot delay those who need evacuation." the other replied.

"Yeah, but we should have at least escorted her. Even with safety- zones, this place is still one giant hell-hole."

"Hey, you two," A voice came from behind the two men.

The gun-armed man turned around - it was Vincent.

"What 'sup boss?" The iron-legged man casually saluted.

"Nothing much..." Vincent waved his metal hand, "But we've got some company." He then took to one side and Cloud and Yoko walked towards him and his 'subordinates'.

"Hey! It's Han and Ken!" Yoko squealed joyfully, as she skipped towards the two new guys.

"He-he! It's been a while kid!" Han, the one with the rocket-launcher for a leg, messed the yo-yo totting girl's hair.

"H-hey! Quit it!" Yoko said in an annoyed tone as she tried to swat Han's hand away.

"It's nice to see you again kid," The man with the gun-arm said next, "But don't call me Ken again... It's Godhand."

"Oh, okay..."

"Uh... You know these guys?" Cloud interrupted.

"Yup!" Yoko beamed, "I met then in some free-for-all tournament called Ehrgiez."

"A Tournament? You mean you beat each other up?"

"Uh... Yeah, kinda..." Yoko toed the ground.

"You didn't even make it to the semi-quarter rounds." Han patted Yoko's head.

"Ah! You just HAD to remind me, didn't you?" the young girl stared wide-eyed at the kick-fighter, then pouted.

Han just gave a wide grin and scratched his head.

"So," Godhand distracted them before Yoko went at Han's throat, "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Me? I'm a volunteer, like you two are." She got a piece of paper from her vest, "I'm supposed to be a subordinate to... Mr. Valentine..."

"That would be me." Vincent raised his arm, "So what's with the delay?"

"Oh, that... Well," the yo-yo wielder tried to remember why, then she snapped her fingers, "Oh yeah, I saw Mr. Strife here in some big mess so I came and saved his life."

"Yeah..." Cloud was embarrassed to admit it.

"No time for talk, people," Vincent stopped an impending chit-chat, "We've got work to do."

"Sure thing, boss." Han casually saluted again.

"... If it's gonna make things easier..." Godhand said silently.

"I'm game!" Yoko leaped, "How 'bout you, Mr. Strife?"

"Please, just call me Cloud." The broadsword-wielder smiled at her, "Let's go."

"Alright!" Yoko cheered as the troop marched into the burning ruins of Midgar.

- - - - -

"Please... Wake up..." Belldandy whispered in a tear-jerked voice as she shook Aerith's body gently. She stirred a little - she was as pale as death and sweat beads formed on her forehead while the Goddess roused her.

Finally, after a few minutes, Aerith crooned softly and fluttered her eyes open - but she wasn't feeling well. Her eyes, though back to their normal green, were out of focus and her head moved from side to side.

"Oh... I feel dizzy... What happened...?" the flower girl still had her sugar-sweet voice, but with a husky tone.

Unable to contain her joy, Belldandy hugged Aerith even tighter and sobbed, "Oh Aerith! I'm so glad you're alright..."

The Ancient felt 'Bell's' wet cheek, "Sorry I worried you," she cooed into her ear.

The Goddess sniffed a bit, and held Aerith by the shoulders as she gave the news, "I've got it. I know what the problem is now."

"Really...? That's good!" Aerith gave a hopeful smile, "What is it?"

"You have a virus inside your body, but it's not fully activated yet. We can still remove it."

"A virus!? But how did it get inside me?"

"I felt it in your scar..."

Aerith suddenly looked gloomy.

"What's the matter?" Belldandy gave a worried look.

"So, that means... he's still here... And he has bigger plans..."

"You mean, Sephiroth...?"

Aerith nodded.

Then Belldandy continued, "So, Sephiroth not only killed you, but he also put a virus on his blade to infect you for other plans..."

Aerith had full control of herself now and the fever is slowly subsiding, "Oh wow, we never thought that could be possible... Controlling the dead? But, why would he do that?"

"Apparently, your wish to return home wasn't your own. He may have manipulated your mind as well as your body."

"But, I wanted to return... To meet..."

"Maybe that's how Sephiroth used you. You only dreamt of going back, and you had no idea how."

"Come to think about it, I have no idea how I came up with the plan to open a portal. All I remember are the words... 'Gate of Life and Death'... and the spell to summon it... That's all."

"Wait..." Belldandy motioned Aerith to keep quiet...

The two women felt something ominous hanging in the air. Moments later, the feeling subsided.

"Funny," Aerith knotted her brow, "I thought I heard weird noises too..."

"Somebody's here... I can sense it, but I can't see where..."

"Well anyway," the flower girl pushed the thoughts away, for now, "We've got to get the virus out of me. I don't want to cause anymore troubles for you and the others."

"Right. Let's begin removing Masamune's virus."
