enjoy! Please R&R
A New Quest
The party slowly quieted down in front of the fire, all but Vincent. He sat, glaring into the smoldering coals, his eyes glowing red from the reflection. He looked over to the Masamune, which was still leaning against the large rock on the edge of the ravine.
"This cannot stay with us. It is still bonded with Sephiroth's will. As long as it is with us, it is a threat. I too am vulnerable to Sephiroth. I must leave." Thought Vincent.
He tightened the buckles on his black boots and his cloak strap around his neck. Vincent quietly rose and paced around the fire, making his fateful decision. "I must go. These are the last of my friends. Lucrecia why have you gone? Why are you gone? Why must I leave the only ones that care for me? Why must I martyr my friendships? I'm sorry everyone. Goodbye."
He walked over to the cursed sword, picking it up with both hands by the hilt and blade. Strapping it to his back he swiftly slipped away through to pass and ran quietly through the small tunnels leading to the top of the crater. He paused and turned back looking sadly at the faint glimmer on the damp tunnel walls.
"I'm sorry." He said as a small tear dripped down the side of his cheek.
Vincent began to stride through the cave halls, his blood red cloak flailing behind him.
"Why?" Vincent screamed violently. "I will see you fall Sephiroth! I will be there when this sword sheds your blood!"
"I must find the secret of this sword. Masamune? Why do you hold true to my son? I will travel to the ends of the earth to see you kill my son. Masamune, you must become mine!" said Vincent as he ran to the top of the crater. He looked up to the Highwind and then back to the ground.
"This is it. My last chance."
He climbed to the outskirts of he crater and looked across the horizon. From the peak he could see superfluous wisps of green light emanating from beneath Midgar. Above the damned city was meteor. Servant of Sephiroth. His final attempt to rule this world. Holy fought endlessly against meteor. Vincent witnessed Midgar's last stand. Meteor came down like a charging lion onto holy and then onto Midgar. Flames began to engulf the city and the small surrounding towns.
"No! Sephiroth stop!" cried Vincent in agony.
"Whatchya dooooin?" asked a familiar voice. Yuffie walked up to Vincent from beneath the shadows.
"Yuffie, how did you catch me?"
"Ninja! Duh!" she exclaimed sarcastically.
"Go back now!" yelled Vincent as he walked closer to Yuffie.
"Fat chance! Where are you taking the Masamune?" Yuffie put crossed her arms and leaned against a rock wall.
"Look, I need to take care of something. Don't tell the others. Now please go back!" Begged Vincent.
"You old fart! You can't take on the fiends that meteor is going to release. There will be Jenova everywhere, and if holy ain't gonna stop it you definitely can't! You need a young, beautiful, strong, courageous, ninja girl to come with you!"
"Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to drop into Woo Tai to find one that will accompany on my journey. Good night!" said Vincent as he grabbed his threw his cloak behind him and ran like a fox down the crater's jagged face.
"Hey you jerk! Come back. You can't get rid of me that easily!" yelled Yuffie as she ran down the crater following Vincent.
Vincent paused and turned back looking at Yuffie struggling to catch up. "Very well, but I must ask one thing. There will come a time where I will ask you to leave. And you must return to the others. That is the only condition. Hurry up will you! And be quiet about it!"
"Oww! EE! Yikes! Help!" yelled Yuffie as she fell down the rocky slopes, landing just before Vincent's feet.
Vincent shook his head and leaned down to help Yuffie up. He held out his hand and picked her off the ground. Yuffie smacked her shorts, sending dust everywhere.
"Well I can see this be a very productive trip!"

Vincent and Yuffie walked further down the side of the crater, rarely switching their gaze from the vibrant explosions of Midgar. Holy had begun to recede and cover other regions of the planet. Midgar was lost forever. They had now been trudging through the rough rocky slopes for hours. The sun was finally beginning to peak over the smoky horizon, sending golden beams through the thick ominous gray sky. There was a gentle breeze that lifted Yuffie and Vincent's hair gently, waving in behind them.
"Ugh! My hair is messed up! Why did you have to force me to come along!" pouted Yuffie as she stumbled across the rocks.
"Why do you women.....? ...... Never mind." Vincent struggled to keep the insult in his head and not out of his mouth.
"What!? Say it you punk! Come back you meany!! Don't make me chase you Vince! That's it! You're dead mister!" Yuffie charged towards Vincent at full speed, but soon found herself trying to keep her balance through the rough terrain.
"Yikes!" Yelled Yuffie as she tripped over a tall rock and landed flat on her butt. Vincent Turned around just in time to see her fall.
"Hahaha!" laughed Vincent.
Yuffie slowly stood up, patted her butt and then inspected for cuts in her shorts. "Ouch! Why do you have to be so mean." She whined.
"Why do you have to be so women like?" he snipped. Vincent turned around and began to walk without her.
"HEY!! I'll get you!" she yelled.
"Do not forget the last time you made threats you could not keep. Hahaha. Well you are good for amusement that's for sure."
"And I'm good in battle. You wait and see!" she said, trying to get a smile out of Vincent. He just turned and looked at her with a blank expression.
"Why don't you ever smile? I've only seen you smile when you're laughing at me. Why?" asked Yuffie.
"Shut up." Said Vincent. "It's sunrise. The others will soon notice we are gone."
"Oh no! We can't out run the Highwind!" Yuffie ran to catch up to Vincent. She looked right in his face. "Doesn't that worry you?"
"Cid won't use the Highwind. There is too much smoke in the air. The Highwind is as good as dead." Replied Vincent still not making any expression.
"You know Vincent. I saw you crying in the tunnels. So just stop being a hard headed idiot and act like you might occasionally have emotions!"
"Please shut up! Hurry! We don't have much time!"
"Time until what?"
