Chapter 3 - Nibelheim's Nightmare
(Last Chapter: Kinie met his enemies Andy and Alex in Gold Saucer after he beat Andy in a paintball arena. They are also from his time, which he has not yet divulged at this point in the story. He inadvertently also caused the destruction of almost half of Gold Saucer.)
Tifa: Kinie, welcome to Nibelheim!
Kinie: (Looking around) Well, I've seen worse. Hell, I've lived in worse towns than this.
Tifa: (Death stare) You saying' that our town is really crummy? Huh? Is that what you're saying'?
Kinie: (Apologetic) No, No that's not what I meant. I meant that I've seen worse towns after Andy, Alex, and myself inadvertently destroyed them.
Cloud: Yeah, what's up with those two from Gold Saucer?
Kinie: They were my enemies from my time.
Barret: Shouldn't they be dead by now?
Kinie: I don't know, why don't you go back and ask them? (Turning to Cloud,) So, this is where you and Tifa grew up in, right?
Cloud: That's right. We've known each other since we were toddlers.
Tifa: Unfortunately, the town got leveled about 5 years ago in a fire, but they rebuilt, and now everything's OK.
Kinie: Was it an accidental fire that just got out of control?
Cloud: SEPHIROTHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tifa: (Whispering to Kinie): Cloud and Sephiroth have issues. He destroyed Nibelheim, killing his mother in the process, nearly killed me and Zach, one of his friends, and nearly blew up the world with Meteor.
Kinie: (Softly) and killed Aeris.
Aeris: Huh? Did you say something Kinie?
Kinie: (Looking around) Huh? I didn't say anything. (starts to whistle.)
Yuffie: Hey! We forgot to party back at Gold Saucer! Cait Sith: Don't worry, they've got a bar in the inn, so we can celebrate there.
Kinie: Well, let's get going then!
They al head to the inn, and happily drink until the bar closes. They then rent out all of the rooms, and head to bed, drier than the Gold Saucer desert. A few hours pass, when.
Noise from outside: groooowwwwwnnnn. mmmmhhhnnn.
Vincent, the least drunk of them all, gets up, and wanders over to the window to close it.
Vincent: Hey, keep it down! We're trying to-- CRAP! Everyone! Get up! NOW! (Takes out his gun, and fires several rounds into the air.)
Kinie (Drunk and drowsy): Wrong what's Vincent?
Vincent: There's about 1,000 zombies outside in the town sqaure, and more are coming down from the Mako Reactor!
Everyone else: What?! 1,000 zombies? CRAP! (They all jump out of bed and get ready to leave the inn.)
Barret: We ready to kick some undead ass?!
Cait Sith: But, they're blocking the door leading outside! How are we going to get out?
Kinie (Still drunk): This me leave to!
He takes out his drawing pad and a pencil, and starts to draw. All of a sudden, the zombies are placed in a gigantic clear glass cube, and are trapped inside. Plus, there's now a bridge floating just outside the window that leads directly to the Reactor.
Red XIII: Great idea, Kinie!
Kinie (partially drunk): Thanks. (He tries to get up, but falls flat on his face.) Can pick me up you can? Can't walk I.
Everyone else falls over, anime style. Yuffie walks over, and picks him up.
Yuffie: Come on, let's go.
They walk over the new bridge, and continue on it until they reach the entrance to the Reactor.
Barret: Damn! There's still more of them coming out of the reactor!
Kinie: Fight we must time to get inside!
Cloud: Ready.
Everyone: GO!
They charge and start to kill the zombies. Cloud hacks off their heads, Cid spears them in the gut, Barret mows them all down with his gun, Tifa punches their heads off, Aeris stays back and casts fire spells on the zombies, Cait Sith and Red XIII charge and start bashing them on their heads, Yuffie uses her ninja stars to cut them down, and Kinie uses his summon materia, hitting large groups of zombies, and sometimes his own party (He's still drunk). After what seems to be an eternity, all of the zombies are dead (again). They walk inside the reactor, and head toward the capsule chamber.
Kinie: Geez, that took a lot of magic to get rid of them!
Cloud: Speak for yourself! I nearly got bit by them like a million times!
They enter the capsule chamber. Inside, all of the capsules have been opened, all except for one.
Barret: Why isn't that one open?
Kinie: Well, look at all of those clamps on the door. There are more clamps on that single capsule than there are capsules in this room! I wonder what's inside?
He walks over, wipes the window, and looks inside.
Kinie: Cloud! Aeris! Come here, quick! We gotta get this capsule open, now!
Aeris: Why?
Kinie: Just do it!
Puzzled, they walk over. Aeris uses her staff to try and pry open the door while cloud and Kinie cut/shoot off the clamps. Where the clamps are all gone, the door bursts open, and out steps a girl that looks like she's only 15. She has a red trenchcoat on, and has short, purple hair. She also has silver eyes, and is carrying a backpack.
Girl: Huh? Where am I?
She notices everyone standing there, and sees Kinie to her left.
Girl: Kinie! How are you! Who are those people?
Kinie: (To the girl quietly): It's the party from FF7, including Aeris.
Girl: (whispering back): Did you draw them?
Kinie: No, they're real flesh and blood, and this isn't a dream.
Cloud: Uhhh. Hello? Who are you?
Girl: I'm --
Kinie: This is Azisura Asuka. She's a friend of mine.
Azisura: Just call me Azi.
Cloud: Well, I'm --
Azi: Cloud Strife. And your friends are Tifa Lockheart, Barret Wallace, Aeris Gainsborough, Cid Highwind, Red XIII, Yuffie Kisaragi, Vincent Valentine, and Cait Sith.
FF7 Crew: How did you know that????
Azi: (Cat face): Uhh. lucky guess?
They all fall over, anime style.
Kinie: I told her who you all were.
Cid: Well, that explains it.
They start to walk out of the reactor.
Cloud: So, Azi. How did you end up inside one of those Mako capsules?
Azi: Well, one day, I went to find a store and buy food and drink. On the way, a monster attacked me. Although I defeated it, I got wounded in the battle. When I entered the town, I had really screwed up my injury, and I needed to find a doctor, fast. When I found one, he told me that I needed surgery, and needed to be sedated. When I woke up, you guys were there.
Cloud: Do you remember anything else between now and when you were sedated?
Azi: Well, I think there was a green light that stayed on for a little while, but then it broke.
Cloud: Damn that Hojo! He was the doctor that sedated you! He tried to turn you into a Shinra SOLDIER using Mako radiation. Kinie: Did he know about your special powers, Azi?
Azi: No, I don't use any of them.
Barret: What can you do, Azi? Do you have the same powers as Kinie?
Azi: Kinda, let's get outside, then I'll show you.
Yuffie: After she shows us, can we go to Wutai. I wanna visit my dad.
Cloud: Yeah, we'll go do that. Wutai is a resort town, anyway, so they'll have lots of inns for us to spend some nights there.
A few minutes later, they step outside.
Cloud: What are we gonna do about the zombies back in town?
Kinie: Don't you know anything about zombies? They're like vampires.
FF7 Gang: Vampires???
Kinie: Nevermind. Anyway, one they're exposed to sunlight, they'll turn to dust. They can't stand sunlight. Also, fire and holy water will kill them pretty easily. That's why Aeris was casting all of those fire spells; I told here what they were weak to.
Yuffie: And you couldn't tell us that?!?
Aeris: Well. You all rushed in before he could tell you, so don't blame him.
Azi: Uhh.. Do you want me to explain my special powers, or not?
Cloud: Oh, sorry. Please explain.
Azi: Well, since Kinie is in his adult form, I assume that he told you he could change his form. I can do that too.
Cloud: Yeah, he did. He also showed us that whatever he draws, becomes real. Can you do that too?
Azi: No. Although I am an avid drawer, I can't do that. However, I am a storywriter.
Cid: What the hell-kinda power is that?
Azi: Watch!
She opens her backpack, and pulls out a laptop. She turns it on, and starts to type. Then, out of nowhere, they have different clothes on! Cloud is wearing Aeris' clothes, Tifa's wearing Barret's, Yuffie's wearing Vincent's, Kinie's wearing Cid's, and visa versa. The only reason Cait Sith and Red XIII look the same is because they are naked; they don't wear clothes.
Everyone: AZI!
Azi: (Cat face) Sorry!
She deletes what she typed, and they all return to normal.
Azi: See? Whatever I write or type down becomes real. So, it can get pretty interesting when I write a creative story for the Internet. Finally, I'm telekinetic. That means that I can move things with my mind. (Looks at Kinie.) Hey, Kinie, what's that red jewel sticking out of your pocket?
Kinie: This? Oh, it's a master summon materia! I can summon every summonable monster at any time! Watch!
Kinie concentrates for a second. The jewel glows, and suddenly, Bahamut appears. He sees the Mako Reactor, and uses Mega Flare on the reactor, blowing it to smithereens, before disappearing. Everyone just stars, mouths wide open, starting at the smoldering wreckage.
Kinie: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
