Chapter 12

Enter…Jenova

                                    -1 Week Later-

Rueh and Dete were on the glacier.

"Ewwww!" Rueh said and stepped on a big bug.

"That's gross!" Dete said. Suddenly everything started shaking.

"What's going on?" Dete asked.

"I don't know!" Rueh said. Cracks started to appear on the glacier around them. Something burst up through the ice in front of them.

"Ewwwwwww!" both said. It was a monster of some kind.

"Who stepped on me?" it said.

"It talks!" Rueh said. The monster shot out with it's tentacle like arms. One wrapped around Rueh, another Dete.

"Who stepped on me?" it said again.

"I did," Rueh said. Both were lifted off their feet.

"Who…better yet…what are you?" Dete said.

"I am Jenova…I'll remember you brats when I control this planet," the monster said.

"Oooooo…I'm scared," Rueh said sarcastically.

"He he he…silly child…you should be," Jenova said as lightning bolts began to dance around her tentacles. Rueh and Dete cried out in pain.

"I swear! Those 2 are trouble," Red said.

"They are a handful," Vincent said.

"Who are you talking about?" Sephiroth asked. Vincent and Red looked at him.

"You're stupider than you look," Vincent said shaking his head slowly.

"Oh…Rueh and Dete," Sephiroth said.

"Of course. I wonder where they are now?" Red said.

                                    ****

"Rueh! Wake up! Come on! Wake up Rueh!" Rueh let her eyes open and found Dete above her.

"Rueh! Are you okay?" she asked.

"Ouch," Rueh said.

"I think you'll be okay. Come on. It's getting dark. We better get back," Dete said.

"You might be right but I think those are storm clouds," Rueh said looking at the sky as she stood.

"Let's hope that I'm right," Dete said.

                                    ****

"Vincent, Red. I just saw a weather forecast and there's a big storm coming," Zack said.

"Dete and Rueh aren't back yet," Tifa said.

"Let's hope they get back before the storm gets here," Vincent said.

                                    ****

"Rueh! Are you sure you know where you're going?" Dete yelled over the wind.

"Mostly," Rueh yelled back.

"That's reassuring," Dete said.

"Don't worry! Be happy!"

"How can I be happy when I'm tired, hungry, and not to mention freezing cold?" Dete asked.

"Ahhh…I don't know. Just don't worry. I'm positive the Village is this way," Rueh said. About 5 minutes later some lights came into view.

"See I told you," Rueh said.

"Yes, yes. You were right," Dete said. They entered the Village and headed for the inn

                                    ****

Vincent stood at a window in the lobby of the inn looking out.

"Can you see anything?" Red asked.

"Not much. This storm's gotten worse," Vincent said. Everyone was also in the lobby.

"Why don't you all go get some rest?" Vincent asked.

"Sounds good," Cloud said. Most went to bed. Vincent, Red, Sephiroth, Zack, and Aeris stayed.

"I hope they're all right," Aeris said.

"So do we all," Red said. They all stood at a window in silence for a few minutes. Aeris looked out the window with Vincent and Red. Sephiroth and Zack looked out the other. Without warning Sephiroth and Zack threw the door open and ran outside.

"What's with them?" Aeris asked.

"I don't know…Rueh! Dete!" Vincent said and went outside as well. Aeris and Red followed. Zack helped Rueh inside. Sephiroth helped Dete inside. The other 3 came in behind them and closed the door.

"What happened?" Vincent asked as he handed Sephiroth and Zack a blanket for the 2 girls.

"I'm not that cold so I guess I'll tell you," Rueh said looking at Dete.

"It's n-n-n-n-not m-m-my fault I d-d-d-d-didn't grow up h-h-h-h-here…" Dete said through chattering teeth. Rueh rolled her eyes and told them what happened.

"A giant bug," Vincent said when Rueh was finished.

"Yeah. It talked too," she said.

"It called itself Jenova," Dete said.

"Why were you on the glacier in the first place?" Red asked.

"We were training. Look I'm fine. I could go out there wearing shorts and a short sleeved t-shirt for a few hours and come back the same as I left. I could last longer than Dete could that's for sure," Rueh said.

"You could not," Sephiroth said.

"Could to," Rueh said.

"Could not," he said.

"Could."

"Couldn't."

"To."

"Not."

"To!"

"Not!"

"To!!"

"Not!!"

"To!!!"

"Not!!!"

"To!!!!"

"Not!!!!"

"To!!!!!"

"Not!!!!!"

"Stop!" Vincent said.

"Shut up!" Rueh and Sephiroth said.

"To!"

"Not! Not! Not!"

"To! To! To! To!!"

"Not!"

"To!!!"

"Not!!"

"Not!!"

"To!"

"See you agree with me," Rueh said.

"How…how did I lose?" Sephiroth said.

"When you argue with me like that I always win," Rueh said.

"I've noticed," Dete muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"That's what I thought."

"That's enough. It's past mid-night so go to bed all of you," Red said.

"But I'm not sleepy," Rueh said. Vincent just shook his head slowly. Red stared at her.
