Howdy y'all! Hmm.. I haven't gotten anymore reviews =0( I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Oh well either way I'm sticking with this fic for all ya good folks who've reviewed before. I do not own Final Fantasy 7. Hmm... what will I make happen in this chapter? (Grins thoughtfully) I think I got a brain blaster in this chapter for you all MWAHAHAHA! Cloud better watch his back.
Chapter 9- Ambushed!
The group was again meeting in the lounge of the Highwind the next morning. No one was sure what they were going to be doing. All decisions lie with their leader Cloud. Cid rested his feet on the table as he lit a cigarette. He inhaled the smoke, held it in his lungs and exhaled it out in front of Barret's face. Cid grin amused as Barret began to cough, "Why don't yo go smoke on deck" Barret said gruffly. Cid narrowed his eyes, "I'll smoke wherever the hell I want. This is MY ship"
Cloud shook his head irritated at the two. "So any plans on where we are to go next Cloud?" Tifa leaned over the table a bit as she asked him. Cloud nodded his head, "I will be going to Midgar to see if the Turks have found out anything. The rest of you will head for the cave and see what you can find." They nodded their heads, but Tifa had an objection, "You shouldn't be going alone. What if your attacked?" She said worriedly.
Cloud just gave her a goofy little grin, "Hey no worries! I'll be in and out of there before you know it!" Cloud looked about the room to see if anyone had any further objections. "So any other problems before we head off?" Zack lifted his gaze off the floor and pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on. "Can I speak with you privately?" Cloud gave Zack a questioning look as did the rest of the group. Cloud nodded his head and followed Zack out the door.
"So what is it?" Cloud asked as they were out of earshot. "I don't think it would be wise to have Yuffie go to the cave" Cloud just shrugged his shoulders as he didn't see the problem. Zack laughed roughly in disbelief, "Come on Cloud, think about it. There's a good chance they're after Yuffie, if you send her to that cave it will be easy to take her" Cloud hung his head and scratched the back of it with his right hand. "Alright you gotta point. Yuffie will come with me to Midgar." Zack nodded his head, "That's the best thing. Keep her away from the enemy"
Cloud narrowed his eyes as he looked back up into Zack's. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot, "You know, you seem to know more then you let on" Cloud stated. Zack turned around and headed back to the rest of the group, "I only know so much" He said as he walked through the door. Cloud sighed as he shook his head, 'I see he's still the same'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Zack walked back into the room the group followed his figure back to his spot with a cautious eye. After all almost all of them didn't know much about him except the fact he is suppose to be dead. Zack raised an eyebrow at them, "Hey what's with the stare?" He asked defensively.
Barret snorted, "I'll tell ya what. I don't F%^$#% trust ya!" Zack just shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care if you do or not" Barret growled and waved his hand and gun-arm angrily, "You act just like F**^##$@ Cloud!" Zack just chuckled, "I taught him all he knows!" He said proudly. Tifa ran up to Barret and grabbed his arm, "Barret calm down"
Cid jumped from his seat, "He fat ass has reason to be cautious. We in a load of shit. F^%#$^* monsters chasing our asses, Reeve's been missing. Some crazy F@#%^& that can beat the shit out of our all powerful leader!" Cid finished sarcastically. He pointed with two finger that are holding his cigarette at Zack, "And on top of all that, we have a dead man walking around my ship who' obviously holding information from us."
"GUYS SHUT UP!" Everyone turned surprised to Yuffie as she exploded. She glared at all of them, "You guys are acting more of a brat then I ever do! Have you forgotten that he saved our lives back at the cave" Yuffie put her hands on her hips as she scowled them.
Zack smiled a bit, "Yea that is true" He said as he rubbed his chin, "The way I figure, you all owe me one" He said amusedly. Zack walked up to the large table and plopped down in a seat. Everyone followed suit calmed down a bit.
Cloud walked in and gave them a questioning look, "What's going on here?" He asked a bit lost. Barret and Cid just mumbled profanities under their breath. "Nothing at all" Tifa said in a bit of an exhausted voice. Cloud just shook his head and thought 'Okay' sarcastically.
Cloud took a breath to rubbed of the tension he felt in the room, "Alright everyone a little bit change in plans" Everyone looked up at the announcement, "Yuffie will also be accompanying me to Midgar" Cloud noticed Yuffie let out a breath of relief but thought nothing of it.
"So who will lead the group into the cave?" Red XII asked. Cloud thought about a moment. "It would be wise to break into two groups" Cloud turned to Vincent as he suggested it. Vincent just starred right back into Cloud's eyes with his own crimson one. Cloud shook off the chill he always received from starring into Vincent's eyes.
"Alright you guys are going to break up into two groups." They nodded. "Zack.." Cloud called out. "Yo!" Zack rose his hand in the air, "You've snooped around there before, so you somewhat know where you're going right?" Zack nodded his head. Cloud nodded back. "Alright, you, Tifa and Cid will be in a group. Is there a problem guys?" They shook their heads.
Cloud turned to Vincent, "You've been in there too so I want you to lead Red XII and Barret" "I was only in the cell" Vincent stated in a monotone voice. Cloud shrugged his shoulders, "It's better then nothing. Besides you had to escape so you know some of it" Cloud reasoned. Vincent closed his eyes a moment in thought, when he came to a decision he reopened them slowly. He simply nodded his head signaling to Cloud he'll do it.
Cloud nodded his head and turned back to the rest, "Alright we'll head out in one hour so get ready." Everyone left the room to get ready for the hard day's work that was sure to come. Yuffie walked out holding her stomach trying to hold in her insides until she got to her puke zone on the ship.
As she walked out of the room Cloud plopped himself down on one of the chairs and let out a tired breath. He ran his right hand through his blonde spikes in thought, 'I've got a bad feeling about this'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was gathered on the bridge waiting to start going. Everyone turned to the sliding door as it opened. Zack walked onto the bridge, he carrying a large green sack over his shoulder. He stopped in the middle of the bridge. Barret scratched his head as he had a lost look on his face, "Uh.. what's in the bag?" Zack looked over his shoulder and grinned at him. He opened up the sack and poured the contents onto the floor.
About forty grenades rolled onto the deck. Everyone back up quickly, "What the F^%$ do you think you doing?" Cid hollered. Zack laughed at all them he picked one up and tossed one to Cid. Cid caught off guard instinctively tried catching it, only to joggle it about in his hands, "Here!" He tossed it to Barret. "Don't go throwing that shit at me you crazy bastard" Barret said as he jumped out of the way.
Zack shook his head amused, "Relax man! It's just a flash bomb" Everyone let out a breath of relief. Tifa smiled a bit as she bent down and picked one up. She joggled it in her right hand, "Why you carrying so many of these?" She asked curiously. Zack's attitude suddenly went serious, "More then likely we'll run into those demons." He said.
Zack picked one of the flash bombs up and gazed down at it, "Light seems to be the only thing that kills them. These babies can take care of them. You saw how the Hadions seemed to incinerate from the results of one of these"
Cid started shoving the flash bombs in his pocket, an smug look on his face, "If that's the case I'll take these and blow those F%$#^&S to high hell!" After he fit all he could in his pockets he went to the controls to the Highwind, lit a cigarette, and started the ship. "First stop! The scum hole! Somebody get Cloud and the Brat on the deck. We'll be there in three minutes"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cloud and Yuffie stood still as they watched the Highwind take off into the sky. They held their arms in front of their eyes to shield them from the dust being kicked up by the Highwind. As the became nothing more then a mere dot, Cloud turned and started towards the Shin-Ra headquarters. Yuffie quickly followed each silent in their own thoughts.
When Reeve took over the ruler ship of Shin-Ra he had immediately shut down all Mako Reactors. He had begun rebuilding Midgar a month after the Meteor incident. Although it has been going on for two years, Midgar is still mostly shambles. The cleanup itself cost the city millions of dollars, and reconstruction will end up costing more.
Despite all the time and hard work that's been happening on, Midgar is still in the dumps. The only place that was finished being rebuilt is the Shin-Ra headquarters. The reconstruction of Midgar will be a lot of work and certainly will only end up causing the city to become broke. The reconstruction seemed nothing but a lost cause, but hopes that their home will be rebuilt caused the people to remain working.
The giant cannon that was attached to Midgar from Junon remains in Midgar. It remains attached to Midgar only because it would be too heavy and costly to remove it. Large pieces of scrap metal lays all around the city. Cloud and Yuffie follow the dirt road that lead through Sector 6 and all the way to Sector 5 into Wall Market.
At the entrance of Sector 6 stood the church. Cloud stopped and stared at the church. His eyes glazed over as memories flooded through his head, about two and a half years ago, when he first met the flower girl Aeris. Cloud snapped out of his reverie when his eyes caught Yuffie walking to the entrance of the church.
"Yuffie" Cloud called out. Yuffie turned around and looked at Cloud, "What are you doing?" Cloud asked as he bowed his head a bit. Yuffie gave a small sad smile before replying, "Visiting a friend" She faked a cheerful voice, "You coming or not?" Without answering her question Cloud walked ahead of her and into the church.
He remembered the last time he had visited the church. It was just before they went to go and fight Sephiroth in the North Crater. That day when he entered the church with Tifa, he thought he saw the Aeris as a ghost, but in a blink of an eye she was gone. He told Tifa that, but she claimed she hadn't seen anything. She told him it was probably a trick of the light.
Cloud and Yuffie gazed at the middle of the church. The flower bed still sat there, except it started growing in more places. The flowers started growing underneath some of the wooden bench. The windows of the church are all broken letting the sunlight shine in, right onto the flower bed.
Yuffie walked up to the flower bed and kneeled down. She crossed her arms over her chest, and bowed her head with her eyes closed. Yuffie started talking to Aeris in her thoughts even though the conversation is one-sided. Yuffie doesn't mind though, she's used to having one-sided conversations.
'Hey Aeris! It's Yuffie. I hope your happy in your promised land or where ever it is you are. Maybe I'll be there one day, let's just hope not soon. Oh sorry about not visiting you but training to become a ninja and being the Princess of Wutai takes all your free time up. I doubt I have to worry about that anymore though. Wutai was attacked and everyone was killed.
The group is back together fighting a new bad guy. We have a new friend in the group too, his name is Zack. Heard he's Cloud's best friend from years ago. Cloud's here with me too, I'm sure he's talking to you. I'll come visit more okay? Bye! We all miss you Aries' Yuffied wiped the tear out of her eye. She glanced at the flower bed one more time, giving it one last smile before standing up and turned around.
Yuffie's gaze fell onto Cloud's form, who was behind her. Cloud's on one knee, he has the Ultimate Sword implanted on the ground, both of his hands holding on the handle. His lips moved slightly as he whispered softly. Yuffie can't ell what he is saying, all she could hear is mumbling.
Yuffie stood there watching Cloud waiting to for him to finish up. When he did he stood up, sheathed the Ultimate sword behind his back, gave Yuffie a small grin before turning around and heading out of the church. Yuffie quickly jogged ahead of him outside of the church.
At the doors of the church Cloud stopped and turned around to gaze into the church one last time. "Good- bye Aeris" A soft breeze through the church carrying two soft words to Cloud's ears. Cloud nodded his head and smiled, "Don't worry I will" With that Cloud turned around and ran to catch up with Yuffie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group of six stood outside of the cave. A small stream of water poured runs down into the cave as it continues to rain. Zack walked to the entrance of the cave. He faced his new comrades, his long spiky black hair plated to his face. His clothes sticking to his form, "Alright. We'll more then likely run into Hadions in here. Be sure you have your flash bombs. If the situation becomes too dangerous get the hell out of there"
Barret snorted and commented roughly, "Shit! Who died and made you leader?" Tifa smacked him on the shoulder, "Oh be quiet Barret. He's been here before, so we follow his command." Barret reply, he simply glared at everyone and everything as he mumbled profanities under his breath.
Zack rolled his shoulders as he cracked his neck. He turned to the second group's leader Vincent, "About two hundred feet into the cave is a fork in the road. My group will go left, you go right. I've been on that path before but I haven't covered all of it." Vincent simply nodded his head and started towards the cave, his crimson cape flapping behind him despite the water it had soaked up.
Zack turned to Tifa, "Not much of a conservationist, is he?" He said with a cheesy grin. Tifa glanced at Vincent's retreating form, "Vincent... takes a while to get used to" Tifa paused trying to find the right words, "He's been through more then all of us" Zack nodded his head in understanding, "Let's hurry the hell up. The sooner we git in there, the sooner we git to leave" Barret said as he made his way to the cave.
Zack and Tifa hurried to caught up with Barret. Their eye's took a moment to adjust to the even darker area. The cave is dark, wet, cold, and deadly silent. Tifa shivered not only from the cold but also from the chills the cave gave her, "At least we're out of the rain" Tifa commented looking at the bright side of things.
Zack shook his head disagreeing, "I'd rather be in the rain then in here" He said a bit uneasily. He kept a hand at his Buster Sword at all times, waiting for anything to dare an attack. Zack noticed the fork in the road coming up, "Here it is, turn left. Be prepared I don't know what's down there" Tifa nodded her head, and Barret turned the safety on his gun-arm off.
(This is going to be a LONG chapter folks, I know exactly where I want to end it. Smiles evilly)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vincent walked slowly through the right passage, leading Red XII and Cid. His crimson eyes glow slightly in the dark. Every now and then they passed a lit candle on the side of the cave. The candles have evidently been burning for quite a while, because the sticks were only about an inch tall. Although the candles didn't light much of the cave, Vincent's enhanced vision made it possible for him to see in the dark more clearly then a normal human.
'Now isn't this amusing. You escape from this place and the first thing you do is go back' Chaos said quite amused from inside Vincent's mind. Vincent's brows lowered in annoyance, 'What do you want demon? Can't you see I'm busy?' Chaos cackled in response, 'Just striking conversation with my host' Chaos claimed his voice dripping with sarcasm.
A rare smile tugged at Vincent's lips, 'Well then, you wouldn't mind me asking a question I've been meaning to ask you demon' Vincent waited for a response from Chaos, 'What is it?' Vincent blinked slowly as he collected his thoughts trying to figure the best way to word it. 'That man back in the cell. He kept calling you the King of Demons' Vincent could feel Chaos shift in his mind as if the demon was nervous. 'Is what he say true?' Vincent asked, his voice calm and collected.
Chaos remained silent for a moment before he burst out into demonic laughter, 'If I'm the King of Demons then all monster would obey me. And seeing as how they don't, then no I'm not.' Vincent nodded his head in understanding, 'That would make sense unless the monsters of this land decide to rebel against their ruler'
Chaos grew annoyed at the assumptions coming from his host, 'Listen! I am no King of Demons. I never was nor will I ever be. There is no such thing as a King of Demons, human. So stop making your idiotic assumptions' Chaos all but yelled in Vincent's mind before he disappeared into the darkest places of Vincent's mind.
"Damn Vampire-boy, wait the hell up!" Vincent stopped and turned around to Red XII and Cid as they jogged to caught up with him, "I apologize, I did not realize I had been going so far ahead.' Vincent apologized with a neutral voice.
Cid has his hands on his knees as he's hunched over, breathing heavy from the short distance he has jogged, "Damn, (Heavy breathing) .... I need a cigarette" Cid stood upright and took out a cigarette from his pack. Red XII eyed the cigarettes, "Perhaps you should quit smoking those Cid" Red XII suggested.
Cid snorted at the suggestion, "The day I quit smoking, is the day I quit being a pilot. And seeing as how I'm always going to be a pilot, I'll be smoking until I'm six feet under" Cid said roughly as he inhaled some of his cigarette. Cid plopped down onto the ground of the cave, "Time for a break" He said sternly, daring either of the two to tell him otherwise.
Vincent nodded his head once before looking around the surrounding area. Vincent had unknowingly walked into a rather large cavern in the cave. There isn't a single candle in the cavern. Vincent can barely make out an opening at the other side of the cavern. Chaos suddenly lurched into Vincent's mind, 'You idiot! Your surrounded by those hellish demons!' Chaos warned irritably at Vincent's lack of attention. 'The Hadions?' Vincent's crimson eyes widened as he brought his real hand to the holster as he scanned the area to find the familiar crimson eyes of the creatures.
'I see nothing' Vincent relaxed, 'You fool! They're all around you. They're hiding their eyes from you somehow! Let me out and I'll kill them' Vincent pushed back Chaos as he grabbed two of his six flash bombs he is carrying, "Shield your eyes" Vincent warned as he pulled the pins and threw one down the path they came from and one into the cavern. "Shit!" Cid cursed as he quickly covered his eyes just before the bombs blew.
The cave filled with the painful wails as the Hadions screeched in horror, 'There's more coming!' Chaos warned as he sensed the demons presences. Vincent turned to his comrades, "Time to go! This way" He leads them quickly to the other side of the cavern into the opening he saw earlier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tifa and Barret waited patiently as they watched Zack look through books that are in the room they have come across. Barret let out a frustrated breath as Zack picked up another book, "What the hell are you lookin' for?" He demanded. Zack looked up from the book and scratched his head in thought, "Something that I can read" He stated.
Tifa tilted her head to the side, "What do you mean?" Zack smiled and held out the book, "Come see for your self" Tifa walked passed the overturned chairs and table, she passed the moldy books that are stacked onto the ground to the table Zack stood. A single candle the only source of like. Tifa took the book from Zack's hands and glanced inside the books. Her eyebrows lowered as she tried to make sense of the writing, "Their all small pictures" She stated.
Barret walked over and glanced over Tifa's shoulder to look at the book. She gave the page one glance. Barret crossed his arm and gun-arm as he tapped his foot, "What the hell?" Barret said confused. He glanced up to look at Zack, "If yo can't read these F&^%$#@ books why the hell yo wastin' time lookin through them" Zack picked up another book and skimmed through the pages, "I'm looking for a book that has some translations."
Tifa picked up a book from the ground. A sheet of old paper fell from the book, "What's this?" Tifa said as she bent down and picked it up. She placed it on the table and unfolded the sheet of paper. Tifa frowned at the writing, "The ink is smeared" She stated. Zack shrugged, "We'll try and get as much from it as possible" They each read through the piece of writing, trying to comprehend what's written on it.
"You get anything from this?" Tifa looked over to Zack. He seemed lost in thought at the moment. Zack nodded his head, "I believe a scientist had written this" "Why do you say that?" Tifa asked curiously, "It's speaking of a myth, about some supreme power" Zack said thoughtfully. "Shit!" Barret cursed, "I've had enough of myths and legends from the whole Sephiroth shit"
"Do you think this is what these guys are after?" Tifa asked curiously. Zack shook his head slowly. "Can you make out how the myth goes?" Zack took the sheet from Tifa's hands and squinted his eyes in concentration, "Something about a forgotten ritual. It involves some sort of prayer or something" Tifa shrugged her shoulders as she walked up to Zack to stand next to him, "If it's forgotten them no one knows it, right?"
"Hold on a minute, I can make out prin- princess in this" Zack read. Tifa looked at the paper of where he is talking about, "Princess of what?" Zack tried to make out the blurred letters, he tried putting the letters together in his head, "V? no W, u and t, Wut? No.. Wutol? Wutal? NO WUTAI! Princess of Wutai!"
Zack dropped the paper in surprise, "Shit!" Zack cursed loudly, "What is it?" Tifa asked a bit frightened, "Call the others! We need to go to Midgar, Cloud and Yuffie are in danger" Zack quickly said. "God Dammit! I knew he shouldn't of gone with just that brat!" Barret exclaimed as he pulled out his PHS and phoned Vincent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cloud and Yuffie sat inside one of the many offices that are in the Shin-Ra building. The Turks sat on the opposite side of the table from them. Reno ran a hand through his flame red hair, "So Strife got any info?" Cloud shrugged, "We have little. The creatures that attacked Wutai are called Hadions. We've found out that the only way to kill them is with light. I suggest stock up on flash bombs." Reno glanced at Elena she nodded her head and walked out the door to buy some supplies.
"Anything else?" Cloud nodded his head, "We've got Vincent back. There seems to be some hidden cave East of here, it's in the mountains. The creatures aren't what we are concerned about. Some one is controlling them" Reno cursed quietly. Cloud held out his hand , "What about you guys? You find anything?"
Reno snorted, "Rude and myself have searched Midgar high and low, we didn't fin a trace of Reeve or anything?" Reno shook his head disappointingly, "You think he's in that cave?" cloud shrugged his shoulders, "Hard to say. I have the rest of the group searching there now. If he's there, they'll find him." Yuffie remained quiet, she was about to comment about Zack telling her that everyone in the cave who was a prison is dead. But she couldn't bring herself to.
Cloud stood up and Yuffie followed suit, "Well thanks anyway. We'll be sure to keep you updated" Reno nodded his head as they walked out. Rude held open the door to them and nodded his head as a farewell.
Cloud and Yuffie walked out of the Shin-Ra building and towards Sector 5. Yuffie groaned in annoyance, "Gawd! Those guys are so stuck up on themselves" Cloud chuckled a bit, "I'd say it comes with being a Turk" He commented. "And they are totally useless to gather information from. They never have any" Yuffie complained, then she growled a bit, "And even if they did have any useful information, they probably wouldn't even tell us"
Cloud held out his arm to stop Yuffie. Yuffie looked at his arm then to his face, "What are you do.." "Shh.. be quiet Yuffie" Yuffie immediately shut her mouth and listened. Cloud slowly scanned the area. He could of sworn he heard something before, although it's hard to tell with the rain falling onto the ground and onto the all the scrap metal. Not to mention Yuffie was babbling constantly.
Cloud turned to Yuffie, she has her hands over her mouth to prevent from talking. She's looking around the area quickly to see what Cloud stopped for. Cloud scratched the back of his head, "I thought I heard something" He commented. Suddenly dozens of footsteps can be heard from all around them. Cloud and Yuffie glanced up to the mountains of scrap metal that surrounds them. About two dozen men surrounded both of them, each holding a sword.
Cloud turned around when he recognized a familiar taunting laughter. Cloud's eyes narrowed in anger, "Vain" Vain smiled wickedly at Cloud from on top of one of the piles of scrap metal. He shook his head at the two, "My, my ,my. What a shame that none of your friends are here to help you"
Cloud unsheathed the Ultimate Sword from behind his back, "I don't need their help. I can take your little rookies here and you no problem" Cloud said confidently. Vain threw his head back in laughter, "Have you forgotten how easily I beat you? I was just playing with you that time. I could of easily killed you at any given chance."
Cloud got into an attack stance, "Is that so? Well last time I didn't have my Ultimate Sword with me. With this you can't win" Vain crossed his arms, an amused smile crossed his lips, "Yes a very interesting sword you have. Let's see how you handle it shall we?" Two men jumped from the piles of scrap metal and begun charging towards Cloud. Cloud tightened his grip on the sword waiting for the attack.
The two men never got the chance for they were brought down by Yuffie's Conformer. She caught it when it came back. She turned and glared at Vain, "Hey you ass don't forget about me!" She said angrily, "I'm not just going to sit here and allow your flunkies to just gang up on Cloud."
Vain gave Yuffie a wicked smile, "Don't worry princess, I haven't forgotten about you. We have something SPECIAL planned just for you" He said darkly. Yuffie was a bit unnerved by the comment but held her composure. Vain looked about all the men, "GO! All of you"
On command all the rest of the men headed towards Cloud and Yuffie ready to attack them. Cloud swung his massive sword breaking down their flanks as Yuffie threw her Conformer. The men managed to get a few blows at Cloud but they didn't do much. Cloud smirked, "If these are the best you have. You're wasting my time." He said as he slashed at another man.
Yuffie held out her hands as she summoned her magic, "Ultima!" Five men were crushed from the power of the Ultima magic. They yelled in pain as their flesh was burned and they were thrown away by the force. Yuffie smiled victorious, then began throwing her Conformer at more men that charged towards her.
Cloud glanced over to Yuffie to see how she was fairing after he killed the last guy around him. Vain's eyes widened insanely as he saw the perfect opportunity. He took out his spear and jumped into the air. Yuffie successfully killed the last of the men and turned to Cloud. He gave her the thumbs up, she grinned a bit back. Yuffie's eyes suddenly widened she pointed behind Cloud, "Cloud look out!" Yuffie yelled frantically.
Cloud quickly turned around, "TOO LATE!" Vain yelled as he drove his spear into Cloud's stomach. Cloud yelled in pain as he spit out blood. "Cloud!" Yuffie cried out. Cloud dropped his sword as Vain pulled out hi bloody spear, his eyes glowed insanely. Cloud clutched his stomach as blood gushed out of his wound and onto the muddy ground. His vision blurred as he began to lose consciousness. Vain laughed darkly as Cloud dropped to the ground.
"You bastard!" Yuffie threw her Conformer with all her might at Vain. It soured the distance quickly but Vain knocked it away with his spear. Yuffie stepped back a bit as Vain began to advance on her. She looked around frantically for an escape route. Vain snapped his fingers and four more men jumped from behind Yuffie and grabbed her.
Yuffie struggled to get free, "Let me go! Let go you bastards!" Vain walked up to Yuffie and rubbed her cheek with the back of his hand. "Don't worry princess, we won't harm you. You FAR to important to be killed... for now" He laughed. Vain started laughing and nodded his head. The men started dragging Yuffie away.
Yuffie kicked and screamed trying to get free, "No let go. I'm not going with you. Cloud! Help Cloud. Get up!" Yuffie cried to the motionless Cloud. Her eyes watered as she noticed a pool of his blood gathering underneath him. 'Please Cloud, don't die' Yuffie thought to herself as she gave up hope and allowed them to drag her off.
Oh no! Is Cloud dead??? Where are they taking Yuffie!? Are the others going to be able to save her? Or will Yuffie be able to escape? (Questions flooding through my mind, can't come up with answers) We'll have to find out in the next chapter. I finally got passed all that boring shit in the last couple of chapters! Finally some action! I hope y'all enjoyed this longer chapter. I apologize for the Cliff hanger. But I'll tell you what, no wait, I won't mwahahahaha. Drop a review. It will get my ass in gear and I'll post another chapter quicker! TTNC!
