Prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy or any of its characters. I didn't write this story for profit, just for the enjoyment of myself and others.

Summary: This is a sequel to my other fic, 'Forsaken'. I suggest you reading that one before this one. Yuffie and Vincent were left behind after the final battle with Sephiroth and found comfort and love in each others arms before the lifestream swallowed them. Did they survive? If so, then where are they and how did the lifestream affect them?

Prologue: Missing Comrades

The Highwind was relatively quiet after its occupants watched the wonder of Holy. The group that was Avalanche were tired and somber after their defeat of Sephiroth and Jenova. They had lost and gained alot in their travels. Now they were content to remain quiet and enjoy their victory. However, this victory would soon be shattered when a member of the group would realize a tragic and most horrific mistake.

Tifa stood on the deck on the Highwind looking out across the land passing by below her. She was relieved that their nightmare was finally over but for some reason she felt something nagging at the back of her mind. She turned around to look at the rest of her teammates. When she looked at the quiet and somber faces of her comrades, the nagging feeling at the back of her mind became a screaming voice. 'Yuffie and Vincent!'
She gasped for breath when realization dawned on her and she screamed, "Oh my god!"

Cloud and the other jumped at her sudden outburst. Cloud ran over to her and asked, "Whats wrong Tifa? Is everything alright?"

Tifa's eyes started tearing up and she said, "No! Everything is not alright! Yuffie and Vincent are missing!"

All of Avalanche exclaimed, "WHAT?!"

They looked around and much to their horror, Tifa's outburst was true. The spunky little ninja that they all came to care for, despite some claims of a few that she was 'a pesky brat', and the stotic and quiet enigma that was Vincent Valentine, were nowhere to be found.
With a curse and a cigarette already in his mouth, Cid Highwind ran to the cockpit of the Highwind. The rest of Avalanche followed close behind him with their recent victory forgotten and a search about to begin.

To be continued...

Well, I wasn't planning on making a sequel to Forsaken but after much consideration I decided to. I couldn't very well disappoint my readers, now could I?! ^_^ This is only a little preview of what is to come! Let me know what you think! Peace! Don't forget to leave a review!
