Rhiannon: This is the next story... With Cloud being... himself


Minute's Rage

"Our world didn't aways look this bad." The tall man whispered behind the keyblade master.
"Did anybody's world?" The keyblade master asked sarcastically.
"You're world is merely gone Sora. When you defeat Ansem it will return to normal. But Ansem... He destroyed my world, it will be returned to a state of destruction." The man continued.
"You are so full of it! My world this! My world that! Don't you care about anything else?!" Sora yelled turning keyblade ready to strike.
"Yes. I care. I want all the worlds to be restored. But I don't have to worry about it. That is your job keyblade master." The man replied.
"There's no need to be so cold Squall." A new voice spoke.
"This is none of your affair Cloud." Squall replied.
"I guess... Considering that my world is on the verge of continuing it's rebuilding." Cloud snickered.
"Don't say that!" Sora yelled.
"Look at you keyblade master. Listening to the lament of an old hero harping about a dead world. It doesn't make sense. The strong Lion of Balamb, the great Squall Alexander Leonheart Loire. What does any of that mean now?" Cloud sneered.
"I am not here lamenting my heroship. That was always more your style Cloud Strife." Squall sneered.
Sora stared between the two legendary heroes, from separate worlds. He had to speak.
"And why does your planet matter more then his Cloud? You and your dull blade." Sora spoke sticking up for the gunblade master.
"Because I have what Squall doesn't. People who believe." Cloud replied with a smirk.
"Yuffie and Areith? It's amazing how they helped you and now receive no credit. You couldn't have done it with out those that are left behind Cloud. Without your Gaia. The world you wanted to save." Squall growled.
"Oh... So Mr. Hero. Where are your fellow heroes?" Cloud asked.
"The others. The people who helped me are gone. They were killed. By the heartless, all the people of my world were. I don't know why I was spared."
"The same reason I was. And Sora." Cloud replied.
"Please. Cid is from your world as well. Because you need people to get you in line!" Squalls yelled bringing up his gunblade the tip resting at Cloud's throat.
"That is such crap. You really believe your own words?" Cloud asked softly, deadly.
"Sora... Go, do as you were bide. Save the worlds." Squall called.
"But Leon..." Sora stepped from foot to foot.
"Don't stand here with two wash up heros. Go!" Squall yelled.
"No! There is one thing I have to know! Where will you go when I seal the worlds? Will your world even be there?" Sora called.
"My world... It's gone. It won't be back. In a way the heartless saved my life to help me aid in it's destruction. I don't know where I'll be when the dust settles." Squall replied closing his eyes.
"If you have no where else to go... If there is something I can do... Come to the Destiny Islands. There will always be a home for you there." Sora called.
"Thank you." Squall whispered, to soft for Sora to hear as the keyblade headed for his destiny.
"You can put your blade down Leon." Cloud smirked.
"What the hell you do that for Cloud?" Squall, now Leon growled.
"Simple. I had to test him. I had to test you. You treat like he's the son you never had." Cloud grumbled.
"You act as if he's still a kid. He's grown up. And you need to prepare to add him to your hero collection." Leon spoke as he dropped his gunblade.
"If he doesn't win I won't have to worry about my 'hero collection.'" Cloud replied.
"Yeah... well, he's still my hero."
"One more thing... Hadn't it been easier when he thought you were going back to your world?" Cloud asked.
"How can I lie to him when the truth is looking him dead in the eye?" He asked.
"You didn't tell him the last part."
"I can't."
