Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII, so STOP FOLLOWING ME!
A/N: Well everybody before you kill me in ways the I can't even imagine, allow me to sincerely aplogize for the time it took to update. Also I had to watch my little brother for a couple of days (and he's only 4 so I had to actually pay attention to him), then my older brother was on the internet all day for the last couple days so I have excuses. Anyway, now I should thank my reviewers, so thanks to Shadowz for reviewing chapter 5 and Cyberfox for reviewing chapter 1. Anyway, On With The Fic!
Chapter Six: Found Him
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Cloud yelled as he fell from the top of the staircase, now able to get a good look at the distance between him and the ground. He only feel for a second, though, before he felt himself stop. He looked up and noticed Zack's hand wrapped around one of his legs. Cloud looked back down and felt his helmet sliding off. Before he could stop it, his helmet slid off and fell quickly to the ground below, making a loud banging noise when it hit. Cloud gulped, realising what a fall like that would do to him. Shaking his head to clear the mental images of his own death, Cloud felt something grab his other leg, and barley had time to do anything before Zack pulled him back onto the stairs. They both sat their for a few second, breathing heavily before Cloud managed to mutter a quick "Thanks" and got up to retrieve his rifle.
After he got his rifle, he and Zack started to head down the stairs. Zack was in the lead with his Buster Sword drawn and Cloud was following behind him, still a little shaken from almost falling to his death. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Cloud picked up his helmet and put it back on, then followed Zack down the hallway. The hallway looked more like a cavern and the two soliders a bad feeling, so they tried to hurry down the hall. They came upon a door built into the cavern wall on their left. Cloud got in front of it and tried to kick it open like he did with the other doors, but right after his foot connected with the door he fell back with a yell of pain and grabbed his leg. Luckily for Cloud they taught the MPs how to kick open door without hurting yourself and he only suffred from some pain in his leg. He and Zack stared at the door and wiped some dusts off of it, uncovering a sign on the door.
The sign read "Beware, He sleeps here" and it freaked Cloud and Zack out. They hurried down the hall until they found another door that read "Research Lab" and they quickly entered the room. The first thing they noticed was that the room looked more like a library with several bookshelves full of books. They also noticed some odd tube like things along one wall and some medical instruments on a table in the middle of the room that they didn't want to know what they were for. They searched the room for a little bit before they noticed a figure stitting at a desk, surrounded by bookshelves as well as books that nearly covered the desk he was sitting at. The figure was unmistakable to both Cloud and Zack. They had finally found Sephiroth.
"Hey Sephiroth!" Zack yelled and rushed over to stand in front of the general. Sephiroth ignored him and continued to read, as if he was poessesed. "Sephiroth what are you doing down here?" Zack asked him and still got no response from the man. "Sephiroth are you all ri..." Zack started to say but didn't get a chance to finish as Sephiroth looked at him with his cold, emotionless eyes. Zacks words got stuck in his throat as he saw how Sephiroth was staring at him, and Sephiroth returned to reading the book, barly muttering "Go Away". Cloud got a bad feeling in his gut again and he quickly left the lab along with Zack. "Well, what do we do now" Cloud asked Zack as they were walking back upstairs. "We can't just leave Sephiroth here, and somethings definatly wrong with him, so we'll move all our gear into the mansion and stay here" Zack said, using his commanding tone of voice. Cloud just let out a sigh, knowing that the more time he spent in town the better chance somebody figure out who he was.
After reaching the top floor, Cloud and Zack traveled outside and quicly went into the inn, picking up all the gear they'd left their, like their extra weapons, ammunition and most importatly, food. As soon as they finished bringing their stuff to the mansion, Zack went into one of the bags they'd brought along with him and pulled out two wooden swords. Cloud just smiled as Zack handed him his sword and the two of them started sparring in the Main Hall.
A/N: Once again I'm sorry for the update time and I'm also sorry if the chapters are a little short. I've tried to write longer chapters, but it doesn't seem to work, so I'll just try to update faster to make up for the chapter length. Well anyways, I hope everyone likes the new chapter and I will try to update this by Sunday if I can.
