Summary: So where exactly does Vincent go after the final battle with Sephiorth?
***
The big conclusion- prologue
***
Highwind lazily sailed off towards the horizon. The final battle was over. From Sephiroth to the four Weapons, all apocalyptic threats had been laid to rest. The nine crew members could finally relax easily knowing that Meteor would not destroy the Earth.
Barret could go home to his adopted child Marlene, relieved that he could finally return home to Midgar, no matter how much he despised the places. Perhaps share a few stories with Elmyra, enlighten her on the fact that Aeris's sacrifice was a key part of what saved the planet. Red XII ventured back to Cosmo Canyon to ensure that Ultima Weapon's destruction had not caused anymore damage to his people then presently. And maybe try to find his grandfather, Bugenhagen, the man was old, but he had lasted this long. Bugenhagen was also very adventurous, maybe he'd turn up in Cosmo Canyon some day.
Wutai would be terrorized by Lord Godo's daughter, Yuffie. Who would challenge her father to another round, just to prove to everyone in the pagoda that it hadn't been mere luck she has whooped their sorry punk asses the first time round.
Nibelheim would have two new old residences by the names of Tifa Lockheart and Cloud Strife. Since the Shinra employees had fled the town when they had saw the deadly blaze of Meteor, new residence would inevitable flock in. Some one had to keep an eye on things over there.
The last two men stood by the railing on the deck of Highwind. The taller darker man of the two had only one purpose since his awakening from his nightmare. To defeat Sephiroth before the man's mother could've seen what he had become. That was it for him. No place to return to. No family, all of which had long past away during his slumber.
The other was only slightly shorter with dirty blonde hair held up by a pair of goggles. Optimism never fallen short on him, even when faced with a megalomaniac bent on becoming the Supreme Being. A god. This man proved to be tough as nails and no impudent jackass would get him down.
Yes, these two men were Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind.
At their own leisurely pace, the crew of Highwind were dropped off until the pilot of Highwind itself and Vincent were alone. Silence reigned supreme as the insignificant-to-the-plotline other members scrambled about trying to make repairs on the main wings and boosters.
Both made their way to the meeting room in the fuselage of the ship. Cid casually propped his feet up on the table as Vincent merely sat there, the table greatly drawing his attention. Silence once again became the tyrant of the room until Cid knocked it off it's throne to the sharpened rocks which were conversation.
"Do you have any idea where you're going to go now?" asked Cid, who was only greeted by silence from the other man as he started to trace the wood knots in the table with his left hand.
"I.have no place to go to." Cid normally being a cheerful kind of guy, was in one of scarcely morbid moods which was brought on by Vincent's usually sullen state. "Listen, Vince," started Cid, using one of his inside joke nicknames, "Shera's getting hitched to one of the engineers. Real strong and handsome that guy is, he'd be perfect for her. So now, I have an empty position for an assistant. I figured since you don't have a place to return to or anyone to live with, you can stay over at my place. Listen, this isn't just outta sympathy or anything"
Vincent's eyebrows frowned in concentration. Such a decision required deep thought. Vincent wasn't in to the whole 'human contact' thing. However, with no place to sleep or stay.Cid noticed that Vincent's lips thinned while he was thinking about the whole things. When Cid was about the just shoot down the whole offer, Vincent spoke at the same time.
"If you have others plans go ahead, fine with me." "If it's not truly a large burden on you."
Cid smiled warmly as he normally would do when something happened to him that didn't make him irate. A flash of what could have been a smile crossed Vincent's face, but was gone just as quickly. One may have thought it just be the lighting in the room. "Shall we go to Rocket Town then?"
"No. We have to get some things." Vincent's eyebrow lifted in inquiry.
"You know, you can't always wear those black clothes. You need some other clothes."
This time, Cid could absolutely tell this time that Vampy smiled. It was, in every definition of the word , a wry smile.
