Cloud sat in the church of Midgar thinking. 'Why was I spared and the others weren't, how can I still be alive when everyone else is mostly dead?' He turned his head and looked over at the flower bed he had fallen on when he had first met Aeris. The flowers were just starting to bloom. It was the only place in all of Midgar where flowers sprout up.

Cloud closed his eyes. He could feel the pain inside of him of the lost of his friends. He then heard part of a board fall from the ceiling. He opened his eyes and looked up, there were five head bombers sitting there starring at him ready to attack.

Cloud drew his sword ready to attack them. Three of them jumped down and attacked. " I am not going play any games with you!" He shouted as he raised his sword and used his Finishing Touch attack on them. They instantly dropped dead from the deadly attack. ' Now to finish off the other two.' Cloud thought to himself.

He looked up where the other two head bombers were at, but they had disappeared. He looked around the church and found nothing. The two head bombers smirked at their prey, that did not know where they were or when they were going attack.

Cloud sat back down on the floor by the flowers when the two attacked him from behind. He turned his head trying to get his sword in attack position, but he was not fast enough. They were a few inches away from attacking when . . .

BANG!

Cloud heard two gun shots, the two creatures that were attacking him instantly dropped dead. He then looked up to find out what or who had killed them. By the enterance of the church stood a dark figure holding a long gun, they had long hair from what he could see and a cape strapped to their shoulders. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not imagining anything and he wasn't, it was really Vincent.

"Vincent?" Cloud looked at him like he was starring at a ghost. "How are you alive? Reeve said you were dead." Cloud asked him. Vincent smirked. " Reeve's people don't know anything. Reno, Elena, Rude and I went on a mission in sector six that night. Elena, Rude, and Reno all died so they assumed I was too. Not bothering checking if I was really alive or not" Vincent stated.

"This place has been deserted for sometime I was surprised to see someone in it, and that they were alive. So far you're the first I've seen since that illness has taken over." Vincent continued. He brushed off his gun and stuck it back in it's holder.

"I found some stuff on the illness its called Star Scar Syndrome, it kills people within an instant it touches you. The thing I am having a problem with solving is how coming we are alive and everyone else is dead?" Cloud looked at the ground. He didn't tell Vincent where he had gotten the information from, since he knew it Vincent couldn't stand to hear the name Hojo. He couldn't blame him either, after what the crazy nut job did to him and others, why would anyone wanted to be reminded of a person like that?

Vincent walked over to his comrade and put his hand on Cloud's shoulder. "Don't worry we will find a way to get them all back. I can tell you miss her." Cloud looked up at Vincent, he knew he was right, they were going get Tifa, and all of the rest of their friends back.

"Where do we start at?" Cloud asked. Vincent closed his eyes to think. 'Where would you go to find out how to get everybody that had died return from the Lifestream?' Then it hit him.

"Lets go to the City of the Ancients. There might be some stuff in there that might tell us how to get our friends and everybody on the Planet back." Vincent headed to the door to start their new journey. Cloud prayed to himself that they could get them back, but yet he had doubts against it.

Before leaving the church, Cloud went over to the flower bed one last time and kneeled down and took one of the flowers that were there. "Aeris please help us along the way to find a way to save everyone once more." Cloud whispered to himself before getting up and heading to the exit to meet Vincent for their journey to the Ancient City..

A figure appeared in the church as soon as Cloud exited. It gazed at where he had left and started laughing. "A foolish boy, you will never get what you seek I promise you that." The figure then disappeared in a flash of light.
