Stuck Together
Chapter 2: Ambush
*~*~*~*~*~*
**********Yuffie's POV**********
We passed stars and asteroids, but nothing like a planet. There really wasn't a new place to go. All there was was the old planets that we've been too, and I know that I don't want to go there.
I leaned against the passenger seat with my arms behind my head. Squall was next to me in the drivers seat controlling the ship.
It's been at least three hours since we left Traverse Town. Inside my head, it was groaning. There was nothing to do, nowhere to go.
I sighed. "Do you know anywhere to go, Squall?" I asked, hopeful.
"It's Leon," he muttered." And no."
Some answer.
I rolled my eyes and continued looking into the emptiness of space.
Then an object was in space. I sat up and squinted my eyes hoping for a better look.
"Squall?"
"Leon,"
"Whatever. Do you see that?" I said and pointed out towards whatever was out there.
Squall took a closer look by leaning forward a little. "Never have seen it." He sat back in his chair.
"Well, let's go." I said, hoping that it was a planet.
"No." he said.
I looked over at him. "Squall-"
"Leon,"
"Whatever," I said rolling my eyes. "We were looking for someplace new, so why don't we just go land there?" That's why we're out here in the first place.
"That planet ahead isn't in the data area." Squall pointed to a screen that had a green map on it. The gummi ship that we were in was the tiny moving dot that blinked, and ahead of us was what looked like pictures of asteroids.
I looked back up at him puzzled.
Squall rolled his eyes and pointed to a spot on the map. "The planet ahead of us is supposed to be there, but on the map it doesn't show."
"So?" I probably sounded annoyed...which I am.
"Don't you get it?" he said irritated. "If it's not on the map, then it's probably dangerous."
"But somebody might not have ever seen that place and never put it on the map thing!"
I smiled inside my head. I could tell Squall was thinking about what to say back to me, but he never said anything.
Calmer now, I said, "Let's just go land on it and see what it's like. If it looks bad, than lets just go somewhere else."
Squall sighed, and nodded slightly. Did he just agree to me?! I was amazed.
The ship picked up its pace a little, and we were getting closer and closer to the planet. The planet turned form a tiny blob to what now was a ball, to what now was the size of our ship.
Soon the planet was right in front of us; and it looked weird. The planet was like split in two. On the right side was pure desert. From here, I could see pyramids that rose high in the air. On the left side, were snow and mountains that also rose to the sky.
WE came closer to the planet cautiously. Once we were in the area, I pointed as soon as I saw something. "Look! There are houses by those pyramids." There were, and they looked to be made out of adobe and mud. "We should go land there," I said.
"We can't," Squall said. "Look, there's a sandstorm miles high coming towards those houses, we shouldn't land there yet. We're going to go land on the highest mountain." He pointed to it.
I looked confused. "Why? It might be cold up there."
"If we land up higher, then we can see more and can see if there's any other buildings."
I made a 'oh' motion with my mouth, and sat back into the seat. We started getting closer to the mountain. On the top was like a flat platform that was around a half of a mile wide. We were soon hovering above it, and landed softly.
I got up quickly. I rushed out of the ship, and stepped onto the snow outside. I looked around and felt a harsh wind blow against me. I shivered and put my arms around me.
Squall walked next to me, and looked around. He had his gunblade in his hand.
"Why do you have that?" I asked eyeing it.
"Just in case."
I shivered again and said, "I'm going to get a jacket."
I walked back into the warmth of the ship. Shorts and a tank top were definitely not for this weather. I grabbed my light gray jacket and put it around me. As I buttoned it up, I saw Squall come in.
"I need to contact Cloud and Aerith." He said as he saw my puzzled face. He walked to the controls and pressed a few buttons. I heard the wind run noisily against the ship. Feeling uncomfortable myself, I grabbed all of my Shurikens and left the ship into the cold weather feeling a lot warmer.
*******Squall's POV*******
I pressed a few buttons, and spoke into the speaker, hoping this message will get to Cloud and Aerith.
"Hey Cloud, I had to let you know that Yuffie and I are in this unknown planet that wasn't on the data base. It's past Hollow Bastion and-"
I stopped as I heard a loud scream.
Yuffie.
I dashed to my gunblade and ran outside into the heavy winds.
Yuffie was there, on her back. Her left arm had a large red cut going down it, and it was bleeding badly. But that's not what only scared me.
In front of Yuffie were around ten wolves. They were snarling their yellow fangs and had large growling sounds escaping their throats. Each wolf was at least six or seven feet high, and that was higher than Yuffie.
She was reaching for her Shurikens when a large wolf came hurtling at her.
"Yuffie!" I yelled, and shot the wolf. It howled and stumbled to the side, but it was not dead.
Yuffie had gotten up, and the wolves started attacking us.
Four of them came at me while two went at Yuffie. But where was the other four? Paying no attention at that, I shot three times at a wolf that lunged at me. I hit it in the jaw, the eye, and then in the shoulder.
One came up behind me and bit me in the arm. I gasped at the pain, but I swung at it with my blade. It yelped as it's front two legs got cut off. I swung at him into pieces, and then headed for the other two.
My right arm was hurting badly, and I could hardly move it. I started swinging at the monsters with my left hand, and hit one in the neck. That one stumbled over. Forgetting about that one, I shot a couple shots at the other wolf that was growling at me. It dodged all of them and came flying towards me.
Its two front paws were on my chess as it pushed me onto the ground. The wolf was growling and was about to bite me. I swung at it with my left arm, and I hit it in the stomach.
It stumbled off of me, and I shot at it in the heart.
All four of mine were dead. I looked over at Yuffie, one was dead, but the other one jumped in the air at her.
In mid-air, I shot at the beast, and killed it. Yuffie looked over at me and I saw scratches on her legs, along with that one large cut on her left arm that went from the bottom of her should to the top of her wrist.
I started walking towards her but I heard growling sounds and howling. Looking to the side, I saw the other four wolves pushing our ship off of the cliff.
I lunged at them and I started shooting my gunblade. Yuffie came next to me and started throwing her Shurikens with her good arms. Our hits only killed two wolves, but it was two late.
Our ship was pushed off of the cliff, and hurtled downwards. I heard a large crash and the two wolves that were left looked back at us and snarled their fangs.
Yuffie threw more of her Shurikens at one, and I ran up to the other and swung at it with my good arms. I missed the first swing and the wolf bit my leg. I clenched my teeth as I shook the monster off of my leg. It stood there for a second. I realized that we were at the edge of the cliff, so I kicked at it hard, and the wolf fell off of the mountain. It howled as it landed next to the broken down ship.
I saw Yuffie there, panting. The wolf was on the ground in front of her, but still alive. It was on its back and had Shurikens in its stomach. I shot at it with my gunblade, killing it, and I looked at Yuffie.
She had wide eyes and her breaths were coming in short and quick.
"Are you alright?" I asked emotionlessly.
She nodded, her bangs getting into her eyes. "I think so."
I walked over to the edge and looked down. Miles below was our ship crumbled into heaps. I could barely see it.
Yuffie walked over to me and looked over the edge too.
"Wow," she said breathlessly.
I noticed I had a large gash in my right arms, and huge bite marks into one of my legs. The bite had gone through my leather clothes, and blood was appearing. I looked over at Yuffie and she only had one cut on her cheek, and that large cut on her arm. Her jacket had been cut open, and blood was pouring out of the cut and onto the jacket.
I looked back down at the ship.
"Are-are we stuck here?" Yuffie asked looking at me.
"I think so."
We sat there in silence, trying to take in everything that had just happened.
I looked over across the snowy mountains and into the desert.
"If we can get to those buildings in the desert," I said, "Then maybe we can get help if people are there."
Yuffie nodded, "But we'd have to get down these mountains somehow."
"Well we can't stay here forever."
With that, I started walking around looking for a safe path to go down and Yuffie was at my heels. I finally found a way, and we started heading down it carefully.
