Those Without Stars
The years of painful memories wore gone, he had put everything to rest and he was soon to join them. They heavily damaged building was very silent, light shined in from above and weaved its way through the cracks. I slowly made my way back downstairs, my body felt so weak and clumsy. I felt very tired, could barely lift my legs to walk.
Blood dribbled down my legs, even into my shoes as I slowly attempted to walk downstairs. I could only take half steps but I was almost to the lobby. I heard the voices of random men. Probably random thugs without a leader now, I followed the red rug down the stairs.
"Holy shit man what happened?" One random man said
"Hell if I know but an army musta rolled through." Another random
"Hey, hey look!" One said
I was in view, my vision blurred, I felt no pain but I could tell I was knockin on heaven's door. I was relieved it was about time the great legacy of Spike Spiegel to end, I stopped and looked forward. Blood trickled down over my right eye, weakly I pulled up my right hand and made a gun.
"Bang." I said
And like that it was over. I laid there in a dreary disoriented state I felt good as watched my memories flash by, my time as a gangster, meeting Jet, Faye, Ed, Ein.
All my bounty hunts. I didn't understand completely, wasn't I dead.
"Spike!" A voice said, I heard a zip craft, gunshots, violent and multiple like a chain gun.
The hell is going on
End Spike
"Cid you gotta be able to control this damn ship!" I yelled as whatever was left from the Highwind sailed uncontrolable through the skies. Lights and alarms wore alive and seemed to confuse more than inform.
"Shut up!" Cid yelled trying very hard to control his ship, but only managed to barely effect the wild turbulence. My friends rolled, flew, and banged off the walls. Took more damage in this damn ship than exploring the crater.
"Whoaaaa! Ahh!" The wind was knocked out of me as I tumbled and crashed into the wall. I have no idea why I wasn't expecting it though, even Vincent was on the ground bouncing off the walls and crates. The world out of the windshield spun and crashed.
"Damn life stream!" I yelled
And like that it was over, we crashed violently into an open plain as dirt and scrap matel rose into the air and barely missed impaling me. The dust settled, and only a couple small pieces of metal and random items fell making loud clunking sounds.
"Shit Cid that was one helluva ride!" I yelled "Fuck you!" I heard in a muffeld tone.
"Hey whose still alive!" I yelled slowly manuvering through the pipes that almost stabbed me and slowly standing up. I ached all over, definitly bruised, probably a broken rib or two. I grabbed my side as I stood up and winced in pain.
"I'm good." Barret said barely standing up and swaying some as he did.
"Fine." Vincent said re-adjusting his claw and dusting off his cape.
"Ahh! Help my tail's pinned!" RedXIII yelled as Barret ran over to him.
"Whew now that's driving we could have been in the ocean!" Cid yelled full of pride
"Hey were's Tifa?" Yuffie said hanging from a bar with almost no damage.
"Figured you wore alright." I said now more relaxed and sitting on a crate. "Tifa! Tifa!" I yelled
"Ahhh...help." Tifa weakly said.
"Damn!" I yelled
I ran to the voice to see some hair sticking out of a pile of scrap metal. Furiously I pulled at the pipes and destroyed panel, my side was killing me but I had to get her out. This type of stuff doesn't happe to Tifa, she's too strong, too powerful dammit if she's hurt what'll I do I don't need this stress. I pulled off the last panel that actually protected her and I saw her curled up with blood streaming from her frorehead.
"Son of a Bitch!" I yelled
Rolling Tifa over to get a better look at her. Her forehead was split open, need a cure materia.
"Give me a Cure!" I yelled
"Catch." Vincent said as he threw one my way.
I caught it and equipped it onto my shoulder guard my sword was somewhere in the ship, probably hiding ing the scrap metal disgused with the metals laying every where. I focused and willed the power out of the materia
"Cure2" I said as a light rose around me and engulfed her in a colorful, brilliant light.
She moaned slightly as the wound sealed up.
"The hell..." I said, the wound left a scar. "That's not supposed to happen." I said "Barret give me your fire."
Barret tossed the materia to me and I equipped it.
"Fire!" I yelled aiming at a pile of metal
The pile burst into flames and was blown back.
"Cid you try." I said handing Cid the Materia.
"Fire!" Cid sai as he went through his usual routen to focus and nothing happened.
"Shit." I said
I picked up Tifa who was unconsious and trecked through the wreckage to the night sky. It was cool out and the stars wore visible, the night had a strange mood, an ackward vibe probably some after effect of the life stream.
"What the hell happened!" Cid yelled at his new inability.
"Fire!" Barret yelled...nothing
"Thunder." Vincent said...nothing
"Ice!" Red yelled...nothing
"The Fuck makes you so special!" Cid yelled at me
I looked up to the sky with Tifa in my arms.
"No idea." I said not really caring about there line of questioning.
"Hey!" A voice said, it was Reeve, guess he made it out and got a ride too a busted up truck.
"Let's get the hell out of here." I said walking over toward the on coming Reeve.
End Cloud
