Last Chapter: Kinie and Azi explained why Andy, Alex, and Mike are after
them, and the destructive power that Kinie has. After the flashback ends,
a man named Misuri Jinko appeared and told eeryone that a destructive force
would soon destroy the world, and that only Azi and Kinie could stop it, if
they trained.
Chapter 6 - The Calm Before the Storm
(This chapter begins right after Misuri leaves.)
Azi: Well, then I'll train too!
Cloud: But where will you train?
Kinie: Know of any high-level monster area near a town?
Everyone: Hmmm.. (They begin to think for a minute, when..)
Red XIII: I got it! The Ancient Forest! It's only a few hours walk from Cosmo Canyon, and it's easily accessable thanks to our Gold Chocobos!
Tifa: Good idea, Red XIII!
Kinie: Well then, Azi.. Let's go! (He begins to leave.)
Azi: We can't. The airship is still being repaired.
Kinie falls over, anime style.
Kinie: Well, When can we go?
Barret: Only Cid knows when we can go.
Azi: 'We'? Only Kinie and myself are going.
Yuffie: Well, if there's a destructive force that's going to take over/destroy our world..
Cloud: We have a right to protect this little planet!
Azi: Fine. Go train in the North Crater. Me and Kinie will be just fine in the Ancient Forest.
Cid walks in through the door.
Cid: The airship will be fixed by tomorrow. Many of the damaged parts were easily replaced, and the overhaul on the equipment will be completed tonight. It takes a couple of hours to get running at 100%, that's why it'll be done tomorrow.
Cloud: Then it's settled! Tomorrow, Kinie and Azi will train in the Ancient Forest, and everyone else will train in the North Crater.
Cid: Huh? What the hell's goin' on here?
Cloud: We'll explain later. For now, let's get some sleep.
Cid: Uhh..OK.
They each head to there respective rooms, and go to bed. Next morning ..
Kinie: Next stop, Ancient Forest! (He begins to walk out of town.)
Cloud: Hey, Kinie! Wait!
Kinie: Wait for what?
Cloud: These! (He tosses Kinie a bag.)
Azi: What are these? (She looks inside the bag.) Cucumbers?
Cloud: Yes, they're-- No! They're not cucumbers! They're chocobo greens! Toss one on the ground, and our Gold Chocobo will appear!
Azi: Ok then!
She grabs one, and tosses one onto the ground. In the distance, there is a small speck of dust that's moving really fast. It starts to grow bigger, then the dust cloud stops in front of Azi, where the chocobo green landed.
Azi: **Cough! Cough!** (Looks at the dust cloud) Whoa! That's one big chicken!
As the dust settles, it ends up being the Gold Chocobo, shining in all of its glory.
Kinie: Well then, let's go Azi!
Azi: Right!
The two jump onto the chocobo, and ride toward the Ancient Forest. 6 months later..
Cloud (Inside the Ancient Forest): KINIE! AZI! Where are you?!?
Out of nowhere, a spear flies out of the woods, and goes right through Cloud's spiky hair.
Cloud (sweatdrops): AHH! Wait, it's just me!
Azi (walking out onto the path Cloud's on): Sorry! (Cat face) ~ Rats! Missed him! ~
Cloud (Removing the spear from his hair): Where's Kinie? I need to talk to you both. Now. (Gives the spear back to Azi.)
Azi (Grabbing the spear): He's by the waterfall. Follow me.
The 2 walk through some brush before reaching a huge waterfall.
Azi (Stabbing the spear into the ground): Hang on a minute. I'll get Kinie.
She runs toward the waterfall and dives off the edge, down toward the bottom.
Cloud (yelling at her as she dives off the waterfall): ARE YOU NUTS!
He waits there for a minute, when Kinie appears outta nowhere, in the sky, with Azi on his back. She jumps off and lands next to Cloud.
Kinie: Cloud! Long time, no see! What are you doin--.
Kinie is cut off, because he lands face first into the ground.
Cloud: Nice enterance. Bad landing. I'd give it a 7.
Kinie (Trying to get up): OW! That really hurt! Hey! (Now standing,) You're not a judge! And this isn't the Olympics!
Cloud: No time for that now. We've got some creepy stuff going down in the outside world.
Kinie: (Now acting serious): What seems to be the problem?
Cloud: All the adults in one of the towns have disappeared.
Kinie: How?
Cloud: We don't know how. But several eyewitnesses say that during the night, the townspeople just got up and left.
Azi: Who are the eyewitnesses if there are no adults?
Cloud: The townspeople's kids.
Kinie: Was there anything else that happened?
Cloud: Yeah. In the town square, there was a word written on the fountain.
Azi: What was the word?
Cloud: The word was. Sephiroth!
Azi: Isn't he supposted to be dead?
Cloud: He should be, 'cause I killed him.
Kinie (Speaking softly): Just like in Trigun.
Cloud: Just like in what?
Kinie: Just like in. look! (Points above Cloud's head) A monkey!
Cloud (Looking up): Where? (Looks back down) I don't see a monkey, Kinie.
Looks where Kinie was standing, sees a dust cloud, heading out of the forest.
Azi: I guess he just wants to get going, huh Cloud? (Sweatdrops)
Cloud: (Bugging out) I. guess.
Azi: So, where's everyone else at?
Cloud: Oh, they're waiting in the airship. We plan on heading to that town where the people disappeared to find any other clues to where they might have gone.
Azi: OK, then. (Begins to run after Kinie) KINIE! WE'RE LEAVING!
Cloud (Wind blows, dust cloud blows by, and then a tumbleweed) : I can't believe I have friends like those two. (Turns to walk out of the forest.)
