Chapter 4 - Truth and Justice
(Last Chapter - While spending a night at the Nibelheim hotel, the town became overrun by zombies from the Mako Reactor. After Kinie drew them all into a clear cube, they raced toward the Reactor, finishing off the last of the zombies still in the Reactor. When Kinie looked into the only capsule that wasn't opened, he called Cloud and Aeris over to help him open it. Inside was his friend, Azi Asuka, another person from his time. After she explained her powers, the group left for Wutai, but not before Kinie (accidentally) blew up the reactor using Bahamut. We now join them just outside of Wutai.)
Yuffie: Welcome to Wutai!
Kinie: Wow, Azi! Look at this place! It looks a lot like ancient Japan, or 19th century Tokyo, like in Rurouni Kenshin!
Azi: Yeah, it really does!
FF7 gang: Japan? Tokyo? Rurouni Kenshin??
Kinie and Azi: Nevermind.
A Wutai resident 'accidentally' bumps into Kinie.
Young man: Oh, sorry.
Kinie: It's alright.
The young man walks away.
Azi: Kinie, can I see you're summon materia? Please?
Kinie: Now, Azi, your not gonna blow up any-- (His pulls out his pocket, which is empty.) Crud! The materia's gone! (He starts to look around.) Where could it be?
Yuffie: Oh no! That guy that bumped into you a few moments ago; He must have taken it! My dad must have told him to steal any materia that tourists might have! This is a major tourist attraction!
Azi: If that's true, then why do you still have yours?
Cloud: We helped them out a few weeks ago, and Yuffie made him promise not to steal ours if we ever returned to Wutai.
Kinie: Well, we gotta find it!
Barret: Let's split up! That way, we can cover more ground and increase our chances of finding him!
Cloud: Good idea, Barret! Barret, Cait Sith, check on the north side of town; Cid, Vincent, and Red XIII, go check out the mountain range, maybe he's gonna hide up there; Aeris, Tifa, your with me; Were gonna check around here; And Kinie and Azi will check in every building to see if he's hiding in one. If you find him, catch him, and make him tell you where the materia is. Everyone: Let's go!
So they split up, and start searching. After the FF7 party is out of sight, Kinie and Azi start looking inside the shops and houses.
Azi: So, Kinie. Are Andy and Alex here too?
Kinie: Yeah, we saw them in Gold Saucer.
Azi: And what about. him?
Kinie: No, he wasn't with them, but it could be only a matter of time before he finds them. He's even weirder than the 4 of us.
Azi: I'm not even sure he's human.
Kinie: Let's check inside Turtle's Paradise; we haven't been there yet.
Azi: OK, that's one of buildings we haven't searched yet, and I need a drink.
They head over, and enter turtle's Paradise. Inside, there's the bartender, with Andy, Alex, and a third man sitting at the bar.
Kinie: Crap! It's them!
Andy: (Looking over at the two) How you doing, Kinie. I see you found the brat.
Azi: Brat? Who you calling a brat!?
Alex: Did you see whom we found.
Kinie looks at the third man for a moment.
Kinie: I see you found. him.
Azi: Where was he, in the barrel of your gun?
Alex: Yes, he was-- NO! He wasn't in my gun barrel! Man: I was in one of those Mako Capsules, on a cargo ship heading toward here.
Andy: Yeah, and we made a deal, too. As long as he doesn't kill either myself or Alex, he gets a part of the bounty on your head, and kill anyone he sees fit to meet that goal. Azi: do you realize what you just did! You just made a deal with the devil! Alex: It took a while, though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback Scene ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex and Andy are outside, on a ship's deck, leaning against the railing.
Alex: So... Do you think he'll accept our deal?
Andy: Well... only God would know the answer to that question.
There is a thud. Andy pulls out a Claymore, and Alex pulls out a machine gun. It's the man, with a beam gun pointed at the two.
Man: Andy. Alex.
Andy and Alex: Mike.
Mike: These ships are not made like they used to be. One stray beam shot, and down she goes. I don't want to swim to shore again.
Andy and Alex: Wuss.
Mike: I may not like it, but... I accept your proposal.
Alex: Good. I don't want to die again, you know. Those Phoenix Downs are not cheap, you know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mike: . and that's leads us to right now.
Azi: So. why are you not trying to kill us yet?
Andy: We decided to take a day off from death and destruction to relax. This is a resort town, you know.
Kinie: Lucky us. We'll be going now, so I'll see you later.
The two start to leave. As they reach the door, it swings open, nailing Kinie in the head. He goes flying back, and hits the wall. He slides down the wall, dazed, with stars flying around his head.
Mike: Ouch. that had to hurt.
Andy: Yeah, it looks like it did.
Kinie (dazed): Ooohhuuu. baka! Baka, baka, baka!
Yuffie: Oh, sorry Kinie! I didn't know you were there I'm sorry. But, we found the guy!
Azi: You did! Where's the materia?
Yuffie: Well. It's with my dad, and he won't give it up. Not without a fight. Everyone else is outside the pagoda, waiting for you two to join us.
Kinie: Well, let's go!
They dash toward the pagoda, leaving their enemies behind. A minute later, they reach the entrance, where the rest of the party is waiting.
Vincent: It took you long enough to get here. I thought you we're going to run away.
Kinie: No way! That's my Materia, and I want it back! Azi; Yuffie; You're with me! Everyone else, wait here!
Cloud: Why?
Kinie: This is my problem, not yours!
Aeris: Well then, why are you inviting Azi and Yuffie along?
Kinie: Azi's my closest friend, and Yuffie might be able to talk her dad into giving the materia back without a fight. Let's go!
The three run inside, leaving everyone else outside. The three dash up the stair, and soon reach the 5th floor. Inside is Godo, Yuffie's dad.
Kinie: Godo! I want my master summon materia back, right now!
Godo: So, you came for you're materia, ham? Well, I'll give it back. If you can defeat me! And I won't negotiate for its return, so don't try and talk me out of it.
Kinie: Crud. Well, it looks like I'm going to have to fight for it. Azi, take Yuffie and get out of the pagoda. You know what's going to happen, don't you?
Azi: Yeah, I do. Come on Yuffie, let's go.
Yuffie: But I wanna watch them fight.
Azi: Well, maybe next time.
Yuffie: Oh. OK. Kinie, it took me almost 10 ours to defeat my dad, and I had materia to help me do it to, so. just be careful, OK?
Kinie: Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Azi and Yuffie leave.
Godo: So, you told the girls to leave so that they wouldn't see your blood spill, huh? Aren't you a gentleman?
Kinie: Let's just get this over with.
Author's Note: MORTAL COMBAT!
Godo casts Poison, but Kinie avoids it. Godo attacks, and Kinie blocks it, refusing to counter.
Godo: So. You're plying the defensive game, huh?
Kinie: You got a problem with that?
Godo: It doesn't matter. This next attack will kill you! (He charges up for the Triad.)
Kinie: Wha-?
Godo: Triad Attack!
A gigantic pyramid crackling with energy flies toward Kinie. He just runs out of the way, but then, the triad turned, and is still heading toward him!
Godo: You can't run from the triad attack! It hones in onto the enemy, and won't stop until it hits!
Kinie takes out his gun, and fires several shots at the triad.
Godo: You're puny gun can't stop such an attack! Now you die! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
The triad explodes.
Godo: HAHAHAHA.. Huh? Why did it explode?
Kinie: I stopped your triad.
Godo: With only 6 puny bullets?
Kinie: No, only 5. The last one might be my special one.
Kinie spins the cartridge, waits for a few seconds, then fires the gun straight at Godo. The bullet spins into Godo's forehead, knocking him out. A few minutes later, he regains consciousness.
Godo: OW! THAT HURT! How did you stop my triad attack?
Kinie: Let me explain.
Kinie is now wearing a schoolteacher's outfit. Behind him is a chalkboard and Godo now sits in a desk.
Godo: (Freaking out) What the hell-
Kinie: QUIET!!! Now, your triad attack does indeed home in onto its target, but, if it is hit with an object hard enough, it will explode, thinking it hit the target.
Godo: So. you're shots hit the triad in the exact same spot for each bullet?
Kinie: Exactly. With the force of 5 bullets hitting the exact same area, it created enough force to fool the triad into exploding.
Everything returns to normal.
Kinie: So, can I have my materia back?
Godo: Sure. just don't dress up like a schoolteacher again. Ever. (He digs into his pocket, and takes out the materia. He tosses it to Kinie, who catches it.)
Kinie: Thanks! Bye now! (Kinie climbs down the stairs.)
Godo: No amount of therapy will ever remove that image out of my head.
While this is going on, the group is outside, waiting for Kinie.
Cloud: So, Barret. How long do you think Kinie will last?
Barret: I'd give him about 5 minutes, at the most.
Azi: NO WAY! Kinie will step out of the pagoda, materia in hand.
Barret: You wanna put some money on that, little girl?
Azi: Girl? Girl? (Gives Barret the death look) FINE! I put down 100,000 GP that Kinie will come out of there, alive, with his summon materia.
Barret: You're on!
Kinie steps out, with the materia in hand.
Kinie: I'm back, and I got the materia back!
Barret falls over, anime style.
Barret: DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT!!!!!!!!
Azi: I'll be taking my money now, thank you very much.
Kinie: Huh? What happened?
Azi (cat face): nothing, just a friendly wager, that's all.(begins to whistle.)
Kinie: Okay. Hey, Cloud.
Cloud: Yeah?
Kinie: Can we stay here tonight? I'm really tired after that fight, and I'm gonna need a good night's sleep.
Cloud: Sure, I don't see why we can't stay here tonight? We'll just leave tomorrow.
They head toward the hotel. Next morning.
Kinie: Where shall we go next, Cloud?
Cid: Hey, can we go to Rocket Town? I wanna repair the Highwind, and they're the only non-Shin-Ra place that it can be repaired at.
Cloud: I don't have a problem with that. Next stop, Rocket Town!
They begin to leave.
Andy: KINIE! AZI! Today is the day you die!
Azi: Give it a rest, already, will ya'? This is getting older than Cid! Cid: HEY! I'M NOT OLD! I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS AS SOON AS WE GET TO ROCKET TOWN!
Azi: Yeah, whatever.
Alex: Uhh. We're still here, you know.
Kinie: Give it a rest. (He pauses for a moment, and takes out the materia.)
Mike: What's that?
Kinie: Turn around, and you'll find out. Oh, I suggest you put on your water wings.
Mike: I DON'T NEED ANY WATER WIN-- (He turns around.) Oh s***.
On top of a hill, Leviathan appears. He summons a tidal wave to kill the three of them. Mike and Andy jump out of the way, but Alex gets crushed by the crashing waves.
Andy: Oh my God, you killed Alex!
Mike: You bastard! That's my job!
They turn around. The see the Highwind flying off in the distance, heading toward Rocket Town.
End of Chapter 4
(As they fly away, the tidal wave continues on, and hits the pagoda, causing it to collapse.)
Kinie: Why does this keep happening to me?
