Howdy y'all! I know I'm so nice to leave such a cliffie like that. Before I go on I'd like to answer a question that has been asked by a reviewer. (Sorry don't remember which one) The question is 'What ever happened to Reeve?' I know I haven't come out directly and say it but Reeve is dead. Okay and I might as well give an explanation to that.
Y'all remember from way back when Zack first joined AVALANCHE? Yuffie had asked him if he knew if her father is alive. Zack had mentioned seeing them move the prisoners to a different location, but the prisoners were already dead. I know I also didn't come out and say Vain and Dregon had Reeve captured, instead I said he has been missing and the Turks were searching for him.
The reason that I have done this is for a few reasons. One is that I have a horrible time capturing Reeve's personality and that of Cait Sith's (Even though I might not be doing a good job with the rest of the characters). Also, if I do decide that I want Reeve not to be dead I can bring him back without much controversy because I never clearly stated that he was dead. But I can also just keep it easy and have him remain dead since I'm so shitty at capturing his and Cait Sith's personality. And Finally the last reason is simply because I think Cait Sith is pretty much a useless character, he's so damn stupid. There, question answered. I apologize for not being to clear on what happened to him.
Now that that's out of the way and there are no further questions that were asked (Except those that if I DO answer them, it would spoil the whole damn story) I shall let y'all proceed with reading the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. It's sure to have some action in it.
Disclaimer-I don't own Final Fantasy 7. (Sigh) Nothing to add to my claims either. oh well.
*Warning* This chapter might be considered rated R. Although I doubt any of you actually care.
Chapter 25-The Bloody Massacre
No sooner did Yuffie see the zombie above her, it's head is blown apart. Yuffie screamed in surprise as the body of the zombie fell. Yuffie quickly gets off the ladder out onto the surface as Kao and Mika climb up. Yuffie's eyes widen in surprise, "Holy crap!" She manages to squeeze out.
Kao gets up onto the surface and almost jumps back in the hole. The whole surface is swarming with zombies. Kao immediately looks down as his younger sister begins to climb up, "Mika stay down!" He quickly orders. Mika confused at Kao's sudden outburst does what she's told.
Yuffie glanced around the area as she gets her trusty Conformer out. 'Who fired the shot?' She asks herself. Suddenly out the corner of her eyes, she sees a large group of zombie's swarming around someone. Yuffie's eyes widen as she points to the person, "Kao! We have to help him!"
Kao looks over to where Yuffie is pointing and just manages to see a black mass as the zombies literally dog pile their victim. Kao shakes his head, "It's too late for him." He says regretfully.
Yuffie watches helplessly as the zombies continue to pile on their latest victim. Whoever it was they are dead now. Underneath the pile of zombies their a sudden hiss followed by a screech. Suddenly the pile of zombies are thrown off of their victim spreading out around him.
The first thing Yuffie notices from the person is the long black hair, followed by the black gothic looking clothes. The figure scans the area giving Yuffie a chance to see his face. Yuffie mouth hung open as she notices the glowing crimson eyes. "I-it's the vampire!" Yuffie chokes out unbelieving.
"Vampire?" Kao repeats confused. "What are you talking about?"
Yuffie grabs Kao's hand and drags him off the battlefield to hide behind some rubble. She sticks her head out over the rubble so she can watch, "When I was in that building, that vampire was there drinking the zombie's blood." Yuffie says a chill running down her spine.
"Wait a minute. First off, vampires aren't real and second, if they were, isn't sunlight suppose to like you know kill them?" Kao says still skeptical the thing out there is a real vampire.
"You can tell that to the vampire." Yuffie mutters.
Kao glances over the rubble and watches the so called 'Vampire' fight with the zombies, "It's just some really weird chick." Kao says watching the fight.
Yuffie turns her head and glares at him, "What ya mean chick? It's some weird guy."
Kao gave her a skeptical look, "Really? And what gave you the idea it's a man?"
"Because only guys are vampires, just like in the movies."
Kao chuckles lightly but grimaces when he watches the 'vampire' cut a zombie's head off with some sort of blade. "Really now? Well that's one weird dude?"
Yuffie rolls her eyes, "And what exactly makes you think its a girl?"
Kao smiles smugly, "Guys have inborn radar to pick up women" He says like a smart-ass. Yuffie couldn't make up her mind whether to hit him or not. "Actually it's the legs. It has a nice set of legs. Not to mention it's wearing that dress."
"Fine it's a woman vampire." Yuffie states.
Kao groans, "It's not a Vamp-" Kao immediately stops what he was about to say as he watches the person bite into the neck of one of the zombies, "Okay it's a vampire" He quickly agrees.
Yuffie smirks, "See? I ALWAYS right."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The zombie struggles in the vampires grasp trying to attack it. The vampire continued to drink what little blood the zombie has. Satisfied with what she got she immediately chops the zombie's head off with the dagger in her right hand.
The vampire turns her gaze to approaching zombies. All of them lined up for her to strike. She quickly grabs another dagger with her left hand and smirks, "Just the way I like them. All lined up and ready to die." The vampire says in a low demonic voice.
The vampire moves with lightening fast speed. To any onlooker it looks like a black streak just ran through the line of zombies. Behind the zombies the vampire stood still, head faced towards the ground, eyes closed, and the dagger in her right hand help up out in front of her. A moment later the zombies behind her collapse to the ground. As they hit the ground their heads roll off their shoulders and blood starts oozing out onto the ground.
The vampire smirks and stands straight up looking for another victim. She spots a lone zombie moving towards her sluggishly. The vampire licks her bloody lips and jumps high into the sky and soars behind the zombie as if she can fly. The vampire captures both of the zombie's arms from behind.
The zombie moans trying to attack her. The vampire bares her fangs and instead off biting the side of the zombies neck, she reaches over and bites the throat. She sinks her fangs in the decaying flesh of the zombie. She chumps down, biting the throat off and spitting it to the ground.
Bloods gushing from the zombies neck and the vampire drinks all of it. Blood covers the mouth of the vampire as it drips from her chin and runs down her neck coloring her own gray skin in a dull reddish color.
Having enough of the zombie's blood the vampire releases it's arms and with both daggers slashes of the head of the zombie. Just as the zombie drops to the ground the vampire slashes behind at the zombie that was about to strike. Her right hand is driven into the zombie's chest. With a feel of her hand she found the zombie's dead heart and pulls it out of the zombie's chest.
Blood runs down her right arm as she holds the heart above her head as if examining it. The zombie makes a reach for her and she reacts by hacking off it's head. Now that the zombie can't distract her, the vampire brings the heart to her mouth and sniffs it. Then she bites into the heart. She immediately spits the heart out, 'Yuck. Been dead too long'
The few remaining zombies encircle her. The vampire scans the zombies, she closes her eyes and laughs silently to herself, "Soulless creatures." She mutters amused. The zombies close in on her and she makes no attempt to escape. Just as each zombie is about to grab her she rapidly spins holding out the daggers, slashing everything within range. All the zombies drop dead.
The vampire sops spinning and looks at the circle of zombie around her. She smirks a bit before narrowing her eyes, 'I remember seeing others here. where are they..' The vampire sniffs the air catching the scent of two people. She turns towards the rubble, 'There you are.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That was definitely the sickest thing I have ever seen." Kao says making sure he doesn't end up puking. The whole area was nothing more then blood and headless bodies.
Yuffie continues to watch the vampire, waiting to see what it does next. When she notices the vampire looking her way, she froze stiff as a log. Her eyes widen in fright the moment the vampire jumped into the sky. "Oh Shit!" Kao exclaims as he watches the vampire heading towards them.
A moment later and the vampire lands on top of the rubble standing right in front of Yuffie and Kao. The vampire grins murderously, baring her fangs. She quickly grabs both of them by the neck and throw them over her shoulder, sending them flying into the blood drenched ground.
Yuffie immediately stands up along with Kao. Each grab hold of their weapons and get ready for an attack. The vampire jumps from the rubble and lands a few yards in front of them. The vampire eyes Yuffie recognizing her, "I know you. You were lucky before I was already had enough blood. But this time I think I won't pass on another meal." The vampire says darkly.
Yuffie can't help but shake in the vampire's presence. Her hands continue to shake nervously as she holds tight of her Conformer. She doesn't know whether to strike first or wait for the vampire to make the first move.
Turns out neither of them have to because Kao took upon himself to strike first. With a battle cry Kao swings his sword with all his might at the vampire's head. The vampire shows little effort to duck underneath the strike and counters with her own. She punches Kao right in the stomach sending him back behind Yuffie. Kao coughs trying to get air back into his lungs.
The vampire smirks at her own handy work. At that moment Yuffie throws her Conformer catching the vampire off guard. The vampire however, manages to jump into the air into safety. While in the air, the vampire throws her daggers at Yuffie. Yuffie dives out of the way, rolls on the ground and catches the Conformer as it returns to her.
The vampire lands on the ground and quickly throws more daggers that she has hidden. Yuffie is barely able to dodge all of them in time. The vampire then charges at Yuffie with a hiss. Yuffie's eyes widen a bit in surprise not expecting the vampire to come charging at her like that. Out of pure instinct, Yuffie spins on the heel of her left foot and sends a spiraling kick into the vampire's face, sending her off towards the side.
Yuffie blinked in disbelief, 'Wow. Maybe I should take up hand to hand combat like Tifa' She thought to herself before she is struck from behind. The vampire kicks Yuffie's feet out from under her making her fall to the ground. She then grabs Yuffie by her right foot and spins around then throwing her.
As Yuffie is thrown away, the vampire pulls out another dagger and throws it. Yuffie successfully breaks her fall landing on her feet. The moment her feet hit the ground though she yells in pain as a dagger embeds itself on Yuffie's left shoulder blade. Bloods runs out of the wound and travels down her clothes to the ground.
The vampire smirks and jumps into the air ready to strike again. Yuffie sees this and seeing it as the best opportunity begins to gather her energy. Her eyes turn into a fiery gold and just before the vampire digs it's claws into her, Yuffie releases the energy.
"ALL CREATION!" Yuffie screams out and the vampire's eyes widen in surprise and fear before she screams in pain. The beam of energy Yuffie released roars alive as it catches the vampire and drive her into a nearby building. When the energy dissipates, a large whole is in the wall of the building.
"Damn. That was some trick!" Kao says from his place on the ground.
Yuffie made no sign of hearing him and walks towards the building. Bricks fall from the large circle the All Creation created. Not a sound is heard from inside the building. Yuffie steps inside the building and sees no trace of the vampire. 'Did I vaporize her?' Yuffie asked herself.
Suddenly two arms capture her from behind, one around her neck and the other holding a dagger to her throat. Yuffie froze stiff not knowing what to do. The vampire hisses, "That was some blast. It actually hurt." The vampire smirks, "But now you're mine."
The vampire makes a move towards Yuffie's neck. Yuffie closes her eyes praying someone or something will save her. She feel feels the vampire's fangs rest on the surface of her neck and waits for the bite. The vampire instead sniffs a few times before narrowing her eyes, she cursed, "Damn, you're blood is pure. Oh well if I can't drink it. I'll just spill it." The vampire put more pressure on the dagger.
Yuffie holds her breath in fear, thoughts running through her head. Thoughts of her friends and how she'll never be able to see them again. She can feel the dagger just barely on her throat. The vampire's arms began shaking and Yuffie opens her eyes. The vampire drops the dagger and releases Yuffie.
Yuffie quickly turns around looking at the vampire confused. The vampire clutches her head as if she's in pain, "Dammit not now." The vampire began breathing heavily, she looks up at Yuffie, "This isn't over." And with that single threat the vampire ran out of the building and vanishes.
Well Everyone that's a wrap. I'm not sure if this chapter is rated R or not, maybe for some parts. *Shrugs* Who cares anyway. So what's going on with the vampire? What was happening to it? Is the vampire part of Vain's alliance? OR is it with another? Questions, questions, questions. IF you like the vampire as much as I do you should thank Die for creating the character. She's the one who gave me the character for the story and believe me, I'm having fun with it hee hee hee. Well anyway I think that's all I have left to say. The next chapter may be a little slower on getting up because of baseball plus I'm not sure what the next chapter will be about. We'll a;; just have to wait and see now won't we? anyway review all! TTNC!
