"Heheheh... Not expecting to see me yet again? Pity..." Terran mocked.

"Errr..." Vincent growled.

Yuffie gulped and clung to Vincent tighter.

"Yuffie I want you to know that I would never, ever hurt you. Understood?" Vincent whispered.

"I-I trust you..." She stuttered.

"Good..." He bulged as wings sprouted straight out his back glistening with blood.

Yuffie jumped back to the back of the cave when she realized he was transforming into Chaos. She has always hated it when he transformed. To see him go through so much pain made her heart, ache and sting. He finally completed transforming and Chaos emerged.

"Humph. You again? Very well. I'll kill you first!!" he wanred.

"Grrrrrr... you won't get the chance too..." Chaos growled.

"Ya know what? I won't waste my time toying with you! I'm going to kill you know!! FINAL DESTINY!!" Terran called.

"VINCENT!! LOOK OUT!!!" Yuffie pleaded. Too late. The beam had already shot straight through his left side of his chest, just barely missing his heart. Chaos let loose an Ill-human screech of pain and agony.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Yuffie wailed as Vincent transformed again and she rushed to his limp body that fell on the ground.

"Yuffie......?" he asked.

"Ssshhhh... save you're strength" she said gently.

"*cough* I'm sorry Yuffie... I couldn't even protect you for one minute... I really am a failure..."
"No! Don't you dare say that! Oh gods Vincent please don't die!! Please!" she sobbed.

"I *cough* I love you *cough* Yuffie..." he mouthed.

"I love you too Vinnie..." she whimpered as his body fell completely limp, the last of his remaining life force drained.

"Awww!! It makes me want to LAUGH! HAHAHAHA!" Terran wailed.

"You bastard... YOU BASTARD!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?!" she demanded.

"Nothing. I only wish to hear the screams and cries of humanity before I destroy it!"

"You're mad..."

"Thank you! You know, I really must thank you for dropping the Materia. Thanks to you, the universe is doomed!! HAHAHAHA!!" His force echoed.

"FIRE3!!!" someone screamed.

"AAARRRGGHH!!" Terran wailed in pain.

"Cid...?" Yuffie whispered.

"Hey brat! Fancy meeting you like this!" He called out and ran over "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO VINCENT?!"

"He... he killed him..." She whimpered.

"WHAT!?!?!?" Cid yelled.

(*~*)

Vincent... dead...? Sure Cid wanted her and Vince apart but... not like this... No... this was just mad... Guilt finally overcame Cid.

He felt guilty for everything... for hating them being together... for threatening him... for yelling... everything...

"Vince..." Cid whispered "no... No…. NO! ... NO NO NO NO NO!!!!"

He turned and glared at the recovering Terran. Hate filled in his heart. Vince didn't deserve a death like this... no one did... and he would PAY...

"You son of a &@$#*... Who do you think you are?..." His eyes never left Terran, not even to blink.

"Why, I'm Terran. Soon to be the destroyer of the universe" He mocked yet again.

He stepped back next to Yuffie and took out his PHS "Yuffie" he whispered to where only they could hear "Call the others. Were gonna need some fuckin help to take this guy down. I'll hold him off as long as I can" Yuffie only nodded.

"Ok you ass, It's just you! And ME!" He warned.

"You? Challenge me? HAA! You see what I did to you're friend? What makes you think you can do any better!?"

"I don't know if I can... Honestly I don't think I can... But hell... You killed Vince... In all the time I fought along side him, not once did he run away from a fight... he always stayed strong, even against Sephiroth... But me... heheh... I was a coward time to time, I'll admit that... hell... I even left Vincent to fight alone once... but not this time... no... I'm not going to run from you, you bastard. Vincent gave his life to protect not just Yuffie, but the universe. And I'll be damned if I run away now, I'd never forgive my self if I let Yuffie fight a bitch like you alone..."

"If you're done with you're lecture I'd like to kill you now"

"Show me whatcha got..."
"FINAL DESTINY!!!"
Cid leapt into the air, Venus Gospel in hand, and landed safely on the ground on both two feet. He charged at Terran full force not losing sight of him once and Swung, with all his might, striking Terran across the chest, leaving a deep deep cut.

"Pitiful fool... CURE4!!" and he was healed instantly.

"What the hell?!" Cid asked confused.

"My turn, lets see if you can stand this heat, FIRE5!!!!!"

"Fire...5? AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!" Cid wailed in agony as flames 30 feet tall engulfed his entire body in an instant.

The pressure and heat from the scorching flames burned, and scarred his body until finally the flames died down.

"CCCIIIDDD!!" Yuffie begged.

"Hmm? Still alive are we? Here, let me put you out of you misery"

*SSSSSMMMMMAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!!!* Terran was sent flying 25 feet through the air by a sudden upper cut from Yuffie.

"I may not have been able to save Vincent" tears welled up in her eyes "But I'll be damned to hell if I stand by and watch someone else I care about die!" tears streamed down her pale cheeks. She kneeled down next to Cid and supported his head with her hand. His skin was already peeling off.

"Cid. Cid! Are you ok?! Say something!" she pleaded.

"D-d-don worry Yuffie... I'm still here..." was all Cid could say.

She let out a sigh of relief.

"YOU DAMN WHORE!!! THAT DIDN'T TICKLE!" Terran cursed.

"That's the point you fucker!" she snapped, anger filling everything in her very soul.

"DIE! LAST BREATH!"

"REFLECT!" someone yelled.

The spell was sent back to Terran.

"AAARRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"

Yuffie was speechless in confusion.

What just happened? She thought.

"Yuffie!" She heard Tifa.

"CLOUD! TIFA! YOU MADE IT!" she was glad she didn't have to fight alone.

"What happened to Cid and Vincent?!" Cloud yelled.

"Cid is hurt really bad and needs help! But... Vincent..." she paused, looking for the courage to speak "He... he didn't make it..."

"HUH?!" Cloud was shocked.

"Oh Yuffie..." Tifa was filled with sorrow hearing that. She knew how Yuffie was taking it inside, even though she didn't show it.

Something bumped Yuffie's foot. She looked down. HER MATERIA!!!

"Yay!" she yelped picking it up.

"NO! GIVE THAT BACK NOW YOU FUCKING SLUT!!" Terran ordered.

"Terran..." She gathered energy "You want to cause pain... murder... sorrow... suffering... WELL HERES MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDEL!!! DEATHS GRIP!!!!!!!!"

Nothing fancy happened... Terran just fell to the ground... dead... but Yuffie knew he'd be back just like all the other times.

She fell to the ground and cried her heart out. Why was this all happening? Why? Why did her friends have suffer with her? Why was all this happening? She hid her face in her hands and Tifa rushed to her side and took her in her arms. She kept crying and didn't stop. It was just to much. Everything was happening to fast. She should have never gone to train today. None of the would of happened. Cid would be ok and Vincent... would be alive and with her... He was dead... and more than likely Cid would be too from his wounds... it just wasn't fair... it wasn't fair... and the worst part was, everything was only beginning.

(*~*)

6 months later

(*~*)

Yuffie stood there, looking down at the cold solid stone in sorrow. She stood in front of Vincent's grave. Her Vincent's grave. Where the only one she had loved in all her life lay. Never to be seen alive again.

"Vinnie... I love you... I know you're gone but... it just can't be... you promised you'd always be there, be by my side to protect me... so then... where are you now?..."
