NEON CETRA SEPHIROTIC: EMERALD REBORN
"You should start at Kalm and from then just go the same path you went before!"
Night was setting on Junon, where Cloud and the others left Seth to continue his search for the Weapon he believed it was there.
Tifa was sleeping, and Vincent noticed Yuffie did the same, so he thought it was time to have a little talk with Cloud.
"We must talk."
"What is it?"
Vincent sitted left of the pilot seat and began his conversation:
"Don't you think this all too farfetched? Look at what Reno and Red are doing:
Finding some type of biological robots for some people to pilot and defeat some monsters who are the same has Jenova...."
"Pretty insane, but i don't have anything to lose."
"What about Tifa? What about our search for the Promised Land?"
Cloud was surprised about Vincent's remark on Tifa.
"Tifa? What do you mean about that?"
"Nothing. Just forget what i said."
Cloud was too tired to argue with Vincent, so he entered the auto-pilot to Kalm and sleeped a little. Vincent did the same.
Back at Junon...
Seth walked down the stairs leading to some underground hangar. Behind him were some grunt-looking men, armed with SOLDIER standard weapons.
"You stay behind, i'll go ahead."
"Yes, sir!"
Two scientists then lead Seth down the dark abyss, until they reached a door with writing on it.
Seth touched the writing and said:
"IHED-01: ASANYMT"
The scientists were surprised at the reading.
"So, it is indeed in here?"
Seth confirmed it with a shake of his head.
"He is. It's near the place where it's spawn was. Open it up."
"But, what if we trigger something we shouldn't?..."
Seth was showing some anger on his face now."
"You are scientists. You shouldn't be afraid of the unknown, am i right? I guarantee that nothing will happen. It's just a storage for it."
"Well...alright."
They opened the door and Seth opened his eyes wide open at the sight in front of him.
"Emerald..."
Cloud was sleeping peacefully, until something made him wake up. He had heard a voice, somewhat familiar to him...
"A...Aeris?! Are you there?! Where are you?!"
The voice kept calling him, until he saw he wasn't in the Gelnika. He was in a dark cave of sorts, where he could hear a fierce, yet gentle sound.
"The...The sea? Where am i?"
That's when he noticed he wasn't on solid ground. He was floating in the air!
"What!...What's going on with me?! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
"Cloud!"
A voice called him, but not the same voice than before. It was a male voice, which he could recognize easily.
"Seth? What are...Where am i?"
"Calm down! You were called to this place, Emerald call...Cloud!!!Wake up!"
Cloud felt like he was drowning in some place, and in front of him was Emerald Weapon, but this one wasn't the bulky, headless green Weapon. It had a human shape, minus the detailed headgear with two piercing eyes and long arms and legs. It was talking with Cloud.
"Your soul his worthy of my power. Although you are a descendant of those who ended my life as a Cetra, i'll give you my power so you can battle those who followed the Crisis. Do you understand?
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"It's simple. Your the one who will pilot me in battle against Yhkam."
"What!"
"Yhkam. Angels.Crisis from the sky. Mother of the First Son."
"I...I am..."
Cloud was waking up from the long sleep, with Tifa by his side.
"Cloud! Are you alright?!"
Cloud was shaken up, but he could tell he was not in the Gelnika anymore.
"Tifa... I saw it! Emerald was..."
"We know. Seth took you back here. He told us... Cloud...you are one of the pilots."
"Tifa..."
Cloud rested with Tifa by his side. When he fell asleep, she went to the small room next to the bedroom, it was one of the houses in Kalm.
Vincent asked Tifa about Cloud's situation.
"He is alright. I think he's a little shaken up, but he understood what had happened."
Seth had been sitted next to Yuffie, not bothered by her staring.
"I hope you all understand, Cloud must go back with me to GeoFront so he can make tests with Unit-01, also known as Emerald. Vincent, you take Tifa and Yu..."
"Enough! Who do you think you are, ordering us around?!"
Tifa had suddenly bursted that, problably by the shock of Cloud's new mission.
"I...It was not my intention. I simply wanted to state the situation and a method to perserve it."
"A Turk never excuses himself. Our job is to do what they payed us to do."
"Things changed since you quit, Vincent."
"I didn't quit. I was dispatched by Hojo."
"..."
Yuffie decided to break the silence.
"Ok, Seth is right. We should let Cloud rest and then he should return to GeoFront. We can do the job ourselves, right Vince?"
Vincent was impressed by Yuffie's solution. Of course it was her heart speaking, not her head, but she was right, nonetheless.
"Very well. Take him there, we will continue our mission."
Seth was satisfied, and he also started to feel much close to the anoying ninja girl.
"Ok. Right in the morning, we tell Cloud."
Next morning, Cloud was explained the next phase of the plan, and he couldn't say no. He had accepted his role in the play, and followed Seth to GeoFront on a Gold Chocobo that belonged to him.
Vincent, Tifa and Yuffie continued their travel.
On GeoFront, Reno was staring in front of "it".
"It is starting. Soon our dream will come true."
"Reno. Seth and Cloud came back. It seems you were right."
"Yes. The Manuscripts were true. Prepare everything for the tests and Emerald's arrival!"
"Right."
Cloud was being taken inside a capsule of sorts, big enough for a man to fit in.
Elena was explaing the procedures to him.
"The capsule will be injected on Emerald's cerebral cortex. When all systems are up, you will be able to take these commands and operate it. Remember to maintain yourself calm and relaxed when we hook up, so you can have a good compability rate. Well, good luck!"
"Thanks."
The capsule was then injected, and the lid closed.
Elena was now taking control.
"Alright, turn systems on. Cid?"
"All ok."
"Barret?"
"Spiky's cool."
"Alright, turn it on!"
Emerald's eyes lit up, and Cloud did has well. He felt like he was Weapon, and vice-versa. A feeling of calmness rided on the capsule.
"Show me your power then..."
