Here's the next chapter. And also, I'm sure some of you are sick of hearing
this, but I put YET another Songfic up. This one about Vincent ONLY. It's
my idea of what happened to him during Hojo's experiment. I like it tons,
and I hope you do too if you decide to read it. It's called It Ends Here
Tonight. Thanks again for the reviews for those of you that still do and
still read it. It means tons to me!!
The group arrived on the Highwind after they left the Coliseum. They all settled into chairs around the main "room" and waited for Cid to turn them around. He looked at the group and shrugged.
"So we're heading back to Traverse Town. Any objections?"
"Yeah. I say we go find Tifa and Barret."
"You're objections don't count." Cid said, and turned to the panel. He punched in the coordinates for Traverse Town and the ship powered up.
"What does that mean? Cid, stop being a jerk."
"Listen, I'm not fuckin' haulin' our asses to different planets when we don't have ANY idea where they are. Besides, we are goin' to need a hell of a lot more supplies if we do that. Shit."
"What?" Cloud asked, approaching Cid.
"The Warp Drive broke."
"That's not good, is it?"
"Well, it's not the greatest thing ever. But nothing major. I can fix it when we get back to Traverse Town, which is going to take longer than we had planned. I suggest everyone go claim their spaces now, because we aren't going to be home for a LEAST a day."
"How long should it take to get back?" Aeris asked.
Cid thought. "Well, with the Warp Drive it takes about two hours, give or take. So," he punched in some numbers on the screen. "About twenty seven hours." He said. Yuffie groaned. "Like I said, ya'll better find your spaces to sleep now. And if anyone touches the old Chocobo room, I'll personally kill you."
"Why?" Cloud asked.
"I converted it to my own space." He grinned. "I didn't wanna have to travel with Yuffie again and have her sick all over my stuff. Besides, I never thought I'd have this many people on it again." Cloud went running out the door towards the Meeting room. Cid grinned and turned to put the Highwind on automatic pilot. Everyone followed Cloud out the door, except for Vincent.
"I shall see you later, Highwind."
"You know, you can share my room Vincent."
"They would get suspicious."
"Suit yourself. If you get bothered too much, you know where to find me." Vincent left the cockpit and soon Cid left as well, setting the alarms to go off if any ships entered there vicinity.
Cid walked to the Chocobo room and opened the door, and climbed into the bed he had placed in there, just managing to pull off his boots before he crashed onto the bed.
Cloud, Aeris, Leon, Yuffie, and Vincent piled into the Meeting room. There was no furniture in there anymore, put there were boxes. Yuffie opened one. "Oh good! Blankets and pillows, and food!" She said excitedly. Vincent sat on the floor in a corner and leaned against the wall, shutting his eyes. Within minutes everyone was asleep except for a very sick Yuffie. She groaned and gagged every five seconds. After an hour, even Vincent got sick of this, and stood, opening the door. He shut it quietly behind him and walked to the Chocobo room and knocked on the door. There was a groan from inside, and a swear as Cid fell. The door was thrown open.
"Th'fuck do you, oh. Vincent. What's the matter?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but Yuffie-"
"That bitch getting sick again?"
"Yes."
"Come on in. See, I told you. You should have just come here in the first place." Cid said, and locked the door behind him. "It might be tight, but hey." He said, shrugging. Vincent nodded and sat on the bed.
"Oh come on, don't start playing shy with me." Cid laughed, and realized he still had his clothes on. He shrugged again and pulled his goggles and flight jacket off, putting them on a chair. He pulled his shirt off next and then climbed into the bed, flopping on the pillow. "I'm so tired." He groaned. Vincent placed Death Penalty on the floor at the foot of the bed, and folded his red cloak. He placed his boots next to Cid's, and lay next to the worn pilot, watching him as he faded into a deep slumber.
Cid woke the next "morning" early and still groggy. He rolled over and almost fell off the bed before he remembered where he was. "I need a fuckin' drink." He said, rubbing his eyes. He turned and looked at the other man in his bed and grinned, his eyes half shut. "Hey there. Ain't you just a sight to wake up to?" He laughed, and then rolled back onto his stomache, falling back asleep. Vincent looked at him and kissed his forehead before getting out of the bed and pulling his clothes back on. He reattached Death Penalty to his side.
Vincent unlocked the door and exited the room, shutting it behind him. He walked back to the meeting room and opened the door. Cloud sat up sleepily, eyes narrowed.
"Where's Yuffie?" Vincent asked.
"We threw her out last night. She's down in the cargo area, probably still getting sick. Leon picked his head up from a corner, frowning.
"I didn't know it was possible to vomit that much. You would think her stomach would have emptied by now." Aeris grumbled and rolled over in her blankets, turning towards the wall. Vincent shrugged and shut the door. He went down to the cargo area to see how Yuffie was doing. Yuffie groaned when she heard him coming.
"I don't feel well."
"I can see this." Vincent said quietly and sat next to her, but out of the way of any line she might get sick in. "We should be arriving in Traverse Town in a few hours. Hang in there."
"Easy for you to say." She growled, and then leaned over, pressing her face onto the cool floor. Vincent stood and started walking back to the steps when and ear piercing alarm went off. He shot up the stairs followed by Yuffie, and ran into the cockpit area. Cid was already there, and they were soon joined by the other three.
"Fuck. We got company." He said, and sat in the chair. He punched more buttons and flicked switches. "Shields are up." He said, mainly to himself. "Automatic lasers on. Highwind, fire when ships reach target reaching range." He said to a computer in the consol. He turned and grinned at the others. "Want to see some fireworks?" He asked, and turned back to the large window. He took the controls again and as everyone watched, the ship automatically fired at the ships heading straight at them. Cid expertly maneuvered around the debris.
"What are those?" Cloud asked, leaning against the panel.
"Heartless ships." Cid concentrated on the flying.
"There are so many."
"No shit. Now back th'fuck away from the panel before I kick your ass."
Sorry it's so short, but I don't want to write to much more. I had to break it somewhere, and the next parts coming up don't have a good breaking point. ^_^ I really hope you liked this chapter too. Sorry if it seemed a little boring. I promise you'll love the next. ^_^
