Joe looked out the window at the large courtyard. Her and Vincent had arrived at the mansion just earlier that day and they had already begun work on the basement. They were shredding every document on where Jenova was found and how the cells were put into the hosts. It also seemed to her that Vincent was also looking for something. She already knew about Hojo and Lucretia and everything that happened to him when he was a Turk after the match at the battle arena when he turned into chaos.
"Lunch is ready" he called to her from in the other room. They had decided to take a break and eat before they kept going. She had asked if he needed any assistance in the kitchen but he assured her that he could do it and to just relax.
She took a deep breath and closed the window and left into the kitchen. She was at the bottom of the stairs watching Vincent with slight amusement as he put spices into the soup he was making. She had never really seen Vincent as a cook but then again he said ever since he could remember he lived alone so she guessed that it would only make sense. She closed her eyes for a second at the dizzy spell that suddenly came over her. Just then she had what you could call a vision I suppose. She was standing in the middle of a ruined city there was fire everywhere it looked a lot like Kalm. She turned quickly to see to figures shadowed standing on high spots in the ruble. One of them had silver hair. "Sephiroth" she thought. The other figure seemed totally in human it was female, you could tell by the shape but it seemed it was genetically modified or altered in some way. It had cat ears and a log whip like tail.
She focused in between them to see what they were looming over and she saw Vincent face down a pool of blood around him. He was covered in bruises and cuts. She ran to be with him but a pillar of fire surrounded him.
Her eyes shot open as she took a heavy breath.
"Are you alright" Vincent asked concerned. "You just passed out on the bottom of the stairs"
She looked around. She was in the master bedroom with a cloth over her forehead. She shot up and looked at Vincent the fear in her eyes was disturbing. Her green eyes glowed un-naturally and darted around the room.
"They're coming"
"Who's coming"?
"Sephiroth and... who was it" She ran a hand through her hair as she tried hard to remember.
"That's impossible we defeated him he is dead" Vincent said almost in a panic.
"Un less the life stream heeled him rather than killing him" She said as she looked at Vincent. "The life stream spared Aeris who's to say that it wouldn't spare him."
"I have to call Cloud" Vincent went to get up before he slumped back down a confused look on his face. "How do you know for sure?" he asked her trying his best to look sincere and not judgemental.
"It happened a couple of times before, on other occasions with... HELLCAT that's who was with Sephiroth" she said.
"Hellcat?" Vincent asked just slightly confused by all of this.
"She's a demon that I released a couple of years ago"
"Wait, you realized a demon?" he asked her.
"It's really hard to explain but I was sure I put her back"
"What if Sephiroth knew something and released her?" Vincent asked.
Jo got a strange look on her face like she knew something but was contemplating weather to tell him or not.
"I'm gonna go call Cloud" Vincent said.
Just as Vincent neared the phone it rang. He picked up to hear a distressed Cloud on the other line.
"Vincent?"
"Cloud is that you?"
"Vincent, Tifa she's... dead"
"What? How?"
"He's back. Sephiroth he's back he and someone else they killed Tifa I came back and she was dead at the bar. I saw him and some girl bolt out of the window"
Jo came down the stairs to hear the whole conversation. Well, Vincent's side anyhow.
"If that's the case then we're gonna need everybody here ASAP" Jo interrupted. "Tell Cloud to get everyone here now," she said.
***************CLOUDS POV FROM WHEN HE FINDS TIF******************
I walked down the streets of Kalm it was raining pretty hard. I was heading back home after training in the greenlands. Me and Tifa moved to Kalm to avoid some bad memories that still harbored in Midigar. I could have sworn I saw some strange figures watching me but it was probably my eyes playing tricks on me.
I swung open the door to the bar. It stopped part way. Something was in the way. I saw a red liquid pouring out from under the door. I prayed to the ancients that it wasn't what I knew it was. I couldn't bare to lose another person I loved. I slid in between the small crack between the door and the wall to see Tifa lying on the ground with cuts all over her body. I looked up at the window and saw some red and black drift by. I turned Tifa over to see that she had to have been attacked without warning. She still had the sorry We're closed sign in her hands. It was weird the style that she had been killed was the same style that Sephiroth used and the same as chaos...Vincent. Would he do this? No he wouldn't. I try to tell myself this as I call him. I'm on the highwind know with the rest of the Ex- Avalenche members all except for Tifa and Vincent.
*****************************General pov*********************************
Very one had arrived at the mansion and they were in the oversized living room.
"What's going on?" Yuffie asked apparently no one had told her what had happened. Apparently Cloud hadn't told either of them what had happened.
"Well" Vincent began with a breath "Apparently Sephiroth is still alive and he has a new accomplice."
"$#!% that's impossible!" Cid yelled.
"Where's Tifa?" Yuffie said when she realized that her friend was not present.
Apparently Cloud hasn't told them that either Vincent thought to himself. There was a loud silence. Before Cloud began to speak. His voice was strangely different. It was softer full of regret and sorrow.
"Tifa is dead" He said un able to hold in the tears that streamed down his eyes. Barret finally stood up and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him of the ground in fury.
"You stupid bastard!" He yelled. "What the f*** did you do to her! You said you would protect her! I guess you can't protect anyone you love!" Everyone knew what he meant when he said that. He meant Aeris.
Angrily Barret through Cloud on the ground he waited for Cloud to get up before hitting him with his gun arm. Cloud flew back before hitting the ground with a loud thump. Everyone watched in bewilderment Cloud never took this kind of punishment. He must really have felt guilty.
Barret walked over to hit Cloud once again before Jo stepped in front of him and put her arms out to protect the older man.
"That's enough! It's my fault that Tifa is dead and that Hell Cat is out and about on another killing spree. The life stream decided to revive Sephiroth and God only knows what he had planned." Barret turned around and sat down in a flump. Jo turned around and reached her hand out to Cloud who took it shakily before sitting back down.
Once everything settled down the questioning began.
"So, who is Hell cat anyway?" Caitsith asked.
"The first thing you have to understand is I'm not from here" she said a bit of hesitation in her voice. Everyone looked at her with confusion and she spoke again trying to clarify things.
"I'm from a different reality an Alternate Reality if you will. I was born there and something happened and my mother took me here using her magic. What happened according to my mother was the world plummeted into darkness and the pits of hell opened releasing all the demons inside. There was a great war between the angels and the demons humans were caught in the middle and when my mother created a portal to escape one of the demons managed to get through. The time compression left it too weak to attack immediately so it waited 14 years and attacked. As a guardian herself my mother attempted to protect me from it and decided not to tell me. She had no idea that we would be attacked. So, when I was 14 it attacked my mother had no magical essence from making the portal. I tried my best to seal it in a cave using magical seals but some one or something released it." By know she was looking at the floor ashamed. She lifted her head up for a minute "unless she learned how to counter the seals."
"So wait a second let me get this straight. You fought this thing four years ago and know its back. So where's your mom maybe she can help us figure this out?" Yuffie suggested.
"She was killed in the battle"
Every one decided they should sleep on it before deciding what to do. Jo went out onto the balcony to take a couple of breaths of fresh air. It was about 2:30 in the morning and she couldn't sleep due to her excellent sleep earlier. She saw Cloud had beaten her there. She stepped out and looked ahead of her it was a beautiful night. She went and stood beside him leaning over the balcony.
She let out a sigh before she spoke. "I'm sorry," she said as she looked at Cloud. He looked into her eyes his blue ones shone unnaturally in the night as did hers just because of what she was.
"For what?" he asked back small look of confusion on his face.
"For not being able to harness my power fully, for that you paid for it dearly."
"It's not your fault you were young and you didn't know anything about your past. But I have two questions for you"
"mmm?"
"Well Vincent said that when he met you your father was beating you up but if you're an angel than doesn't that mean that in the long run you could have defended yourself?"
"No, as an angel I can only use my powers to destroy evil things or help good things."
"And you didn't see him as an evil threat?"
"A threat yes. Evil, no just very very confused"
"Was your father an angel too? Because in there" he gestured to the house as he did this "you said that only your mother and Hell cat went through the portal."
She let out a bit of a laugh "hm, well you seem to be the only one to have caught on. My father was from Wutai."
"Oh"
"Listen, we really need to figure out how we're going to approach this" her voice became more direct and straightforward rather than coaxing.
"I know you're upset about Tifa but you can't go rushing into things. That's just what they want."
"You act like you've known them your whole lives"
"Hell cat pulled the same thing on me and that's why my mom died. Not only did it cause me to jump in without thought it also caused a lot of hatred between me and my father. That's just the way she operates"
"And what about Sephiroth? I've known him my whole life and he would probably jump in first."
"I'm just saying wait till you're sure you know what you're getting yourself into before you go. I saw your bag packed and everything ready for you to leave. I also saw the note and the phs attached to it."
Cloud sighed and let out a chuckle. "I take it you've picked up on Vincent's observant skills."
"Nah, I've always been like this. But I'm serious don't leave before figuring things out. In spite of Barret's actions you must understand that it is not our intention to point fingers at you"
"Thanks" he replied and faced her once more.
"Your welcome" she said and embraced him in a friendly hug.
While this whole conversation was going on Vincent was watching from the doorway of Jo's room. He did feel a bit guilty about eves dropping but he wanted to make sure that she won't blaming herself for anything. When she spoke in the living room she sounded like she was blaming herself for Tifa's death. That was something Vincent couldn't let happen. After living like that for over 30 years himself he knew how crappy it made you feel and he wasn't about to let some one as lively as her to do that.
Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around abruptly to find Cid there. Cid peeked over Vincent's shoulder and began to whisper so that he didn't attract the attention of the two on the balcony.
"So" Cid began. "We're gonna have to give her the full show down on Psycho Boy huh?"
YAY CLIFF HANGER MWAHAHAHAHHAWELL THAR SHE BLOWS CHAPTER TWO. NOT A LOT OF LUVN FOR A LOVE STORY BUT HEY THAT'S ALRIGHT HATS OKAY.... I'M GONNA PUMP MY GAS SOMEDAY!
