Chapter 2
The Ultimate Weapon
Now, in another and different time and different world from Squall and Rinoa's... Tifa Lockhart and Aeris Gainsborough looked at Red XIII who was telling the story of his clan and Cosmo Canyon's history.
Cid Highwind, Barrett Wallace and Cloud Strife were all sitted cross-legged around Red XIII and so was Tifa and Aeris.
Two new members of the team, from a different time seemingly Irvine Kinneas and Quistis Trepe were also sitted circling Red XIII. Quistis, the once eighteen year old instructor of Squall Leonhart and Seifer Almasy was now 25 yet still as beautfiful and youthful, yet knowledgeable, was sitted beside Cloud and Irvine Kinneas was sitted beside Barrett.
Irvine, unknowingly forgot his age!!!
"So, that's that??? I mean, what about this baby that the great Seto had???" Irvine asked the red wolf-like creature with a 13 mark on it's leg.
"That baby I was telling you about, is actually me." Red XIII explained proudly to the confused guy.
"What a facinating story, it reminds me of the wisdom of the elders," Quistis said to herself and adjusted her eyeglasses. Red XIII was about to say something to Tifa and Aeris when Cid, the obnoxious, bad mouthed pilot rudely interrupted by standing up.
"Hey you all!!! We weren't called her by gramps ta tell that @%$@! Red XIII's damn stories. We were called here ta--"
"We know Cid!!!" Cloud, Tifa and Aeris all shouted at the middle-aged man with anger and irritation. The group all stood up slowly, rubbing their behinds and butts after a long sit.
"We were supposed to go back to Cosmo Canyon guys, Grandpa told me to bring the group along." Red XIII announced to the group.
"It's amazing isn't it, first Aeris is brought back to life then Bugenhagen starts to talk through Red XIII," Tifa wondered in amazement.
"Where's Vincent anyway?" Aeris asked her fiance, Cloud Strife.
"After I rescued you, the gang says he took off mysteriously and said he was going to find answers," Cloud answered his fiancee with a confused expression and a scratch on his blond, spiky hair.
"Well, who cares for that cold guy anyway? We have Irvine and Quistis with us now!!!" Barrett exclaimed and ran to the bridge.
About an hour later, the eight were in Bugenhagen's observatory and were all gazing around. Irvine and Quistis were amazed to see such a sight. Red XIII went over to the thing that leads all of them up to the model of the solar system and the thing containing the 4 Huge Materias Cloud and the others found.
Quistis let out a soft shriek as the floor they were standing on started to levitate higher and higher.
"Cool," Irvine briefly said with a wide open mouth and astonished look on his face. The eight were now in the observatory and were gazing up at the stars and model of planets. Red XIII turned to the Wisdom Sphere who warped itself to the observatory.
"Hey! That's the thing that was with Edea back in our town!!!" Irvine exclaimed and made a confused face.
"For your information, there are two of them since there are two of our times." Quistis answered Irvine with a tantalizing glint in her eyes.
Irvine shut up and listened intently to the Sphere who went on and on: "Cloud, Tifa and the rest, as your elder Bugenhagen has told you sooner, the galaxy has another threat that is twice meteor and even the powerful Ultimecia. As I speak to you now, the group on Quistis and Irvine's world are listening intently to me too with the guide of Edea Kramer, the once sorceress."
"Ultima Weapon Alpha, a creation of the Anger Vortex and the lost energies of Sephiroth and Ultimecia was created and has now threatened to destroy the entire galaxy!!! This weapon is a hundred times stronger than the other weapons even from Emerald and Omega."
"Bugenhagen and Edea will use the remaining powers inside them and will form a team composed of your group and the other group seemingly led by Squall. You will all be in a short rest for awhile, you can train yourselves if needed. Now go!" The Sphere ordered the eight and quickly, it's light faded showing its rest.
The eight silently exited the observatory and Cosmo Canyon and head for Balamb Garden, which was now in Midgar's place.
"You will all have a week to do whatever you want and to train yourselves for this event, be warned that this is no joke and that some of you might not live and return back here on earth." Bugenhagen told the team with a solemn look.
"We understand, we'll try our very best and we'll make sure we win over weapon. Wish us luck grandpa," Red XIII spoke for the team as Bugenhagen's ghastly image faded away...
"We know what to do, we'll rest for tonight then go to the Anger Vortex and meet with Squall's group," Cloud announced to the team and headed for Balamb Garden's neat entrance.
Cloud's and Squall's group knew what situation they were in now. There fates, futures and even lives were at stake now. They knew some of them or probably all of them would never be able to see daylight again. An event, that would shock all of them would soon occur... Sooner than the soonest...
