Encounter and Capture
"151...152...153...154...Oh come on Cloud this is the fifth set of 500. I think you're over doing it a litte." Tifa was spotting Cloud at the local sector 7 gym. The sun shown through the window. The bright morning rays landing on the newly shined gym floor.
"Almost...done..." He said, having just broken a sweat.
"Ever since that Zidane has got here you've been trying to show off."
"Just...working out." He replied, putting the weights back on the rack.
Tifa decided not to delve into the subject, "Well now that we're moving the people from the slums to the upper plate things have gotten really busy." Cloud's influence on the city had exeeded even the Mayor's.
"I hate paperwork." Was all he could respond with.
She giggled.
"At least you don't have to do any paperwork tonight." His face burned red at the comment. And at that momment none other than Zidane walked into the gym, his wife following him.
"I still say he's too young to be married." Cloud said.
"I think they're cute." Tifa replied.
"At least they got some new clothes." Cloud added.
"Oh hush up." She turned back to face Cloud, "Come on, let's go."
"Alright, I'm finished anyway." He said taking her outstretched hand. The two left, heading back to their private house in Sector 7.
"Zidane, ever since you've gotten here all you've been trying to do is show off to that Cloud guy." Dagger said to Zidane, unknowingly mimicking Tifa's comments.
"That guy is stong, and I've got to get as strong as him."
"Zidane, you're perfect the way you are." She said, watching him set up with the weights.
"Well from the things he's been telling me about this Sephiroth I'd better train as much and as hard as I can." He said, starting his workout.
"Yea, and the way he took care of Necro and Kuja and Garland kinda makes ya wonder."
"And he said something about Sephiroth probably being stronger."
"But their's more of us now. I'm sure we'll be able to take him." Dagger said positively.
"As long as we're all prepared."
At that very moment Sephiroth burst through the gym doors, his Masamune drawn, a materia in his hand. The MSG.
Zidane jumped to his feet. "SHIT!" He yelled, not bringing a weapon had turned out to be a bad thing after all.
Dagger screamed and jumped back. Sephiroth raised the materia in the air.
"Containment." The simple word left Zidane trapped in a cubical box. He rammed into the walls, trying to break free as Sephiroth made his way to Dagger.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Zidane yelled as Sephiroth grabbed her by the arm. Sephiroth dragged her along as he made his way back to the box.
"I'll make the rules, and you will follow them. Another thing, I can bend the rules, as well as break them. You cannot." With that Sephiroth deactivated the shield and stabbed Zidane in the leg. He took his sword out and stabbed the other leg. And then he left the building dragging the screaming Princess with him.
Zidane lay on the ground, his blood collecting in a pool, in total state of shock. He imagined some of the horribal things he would do to his wife. He shuddered and passed out cold as the Shinra medics arrived.

The string of curses from the big black man was cut by a wave of Cloud's hands. "We don't have time to release our stress through words right now." Cloud said, the group gathered at the Strife's residence. Zidane was sitting in silence in the corner.
"That goddamned Sh@t F$#king mother F$#king bastard. I shoulda known he'da done somethin' like this."
"Try and calm down Barret." Red said, in his calm, negotiative voice.
Eiko sat by Zidane trying to comfort him, while a group of black mages chased each other around the house. Tifa was massaging Cloud's shoulders as he did the same to his temples. Yuffie was wandering around, most likely looking for materia.
Steiner began to argue with Barret on why the Princess was captured. Eiko began to cry because Zidane had pushed her away and the little black mages came running back into the room, knocking over anything that wasn't above 3 feet or nailed to the floor. Yuffie was yelling, asking if anyone had any extra materia. Finally Cloud grabbed Vincent's gun and shot it three times, causing plaster to rain down on the group
"..."
"Good, now that you're all quiet we can get to business. Zidane what did you say Sephiroth used?"
"It was some kinda multi colored orb that kept shifting colors."
"materia?" Yuffie asked.
"Probably." Cloud said, "Must be some new kind."
"So what are we going to do?" Zidane asked helplessly.
"Get her back of course." Tifa replied.
"That's the first step. Then comes Sephiroth."
(((R&R, i know its not long, but i'm still workin on ideas here.)))
