Should have done this earlier, but it slipped my mind.
Ahem. . .
I DO NOT OWN FINAL FANTASY 7. However, I do own the character Ryu and Zax. And I own the Dragon Blade. The idea for this story is mine. Someone else owns all other characters. And now, I bring you chapter 2 of the story.
PS: I can't write so most chapters will be short.
"No! He's dying! It's killing him! Someone help him!" Ryu tossed and turned during his dreams of the Fire Hydra killing his brother. His cries fell on the sleeping ears of his father.
"Shut the hell up!"
"But I had a dream of Zax was fighting the Fire Hydra and it killed him" whimpered Ryu. "It killed him before he could react. I watched the whole thing. It took the Dragon Blade away and ripped him apart."
"It was just a dream. You're too worried about your brother. He's five years older than you. He can take care of himself. Now go back to sleep bitch."
"You shouldn't be treating your son like that Cloud." Tifa said disapprovingly.
"Sorry son. I'm just tired. After all, it's three in the morning. Good night."
But Ryu was no satisfied at these words. So in the morning, he donned on his brother's old amour and took his father's worst sword, the Rune Blade, and made for Midgar, the capital city of his continent, to look for his brother. But little did he know that he was followed.
As Ryu was walking through the forest, he noticed that it was quiet. Extremely quiet. Slowly unsheathing a dagger he kept hidden, he threw it behind him, hoping to catch whatever was following him. He heard the faint ping of metal striking metal in the distance. When he heard that, Ryu ran as fast as he could through the forest. He could hear foot steps behind him and they were gaining. Ryu was fast, but his stalker was much faster. When he saw the hunter's face, Ryu was shocked.
The hunter was Zack, a man long thought dead. The man whom Zax is named after. Zack assumedly died at the Nibelheim reactor, but looks can be deceiving. Zack somehow got a hold of a Buster Sword and was holding it in a fighting position. His face was extremely pale and had many scars on it and his eyes had a mad glint in it that made him look like he lost his sanity.
Without warning, Zack struck. Ryu parried the blow and was able to knock the sword out of Zack's grasp. Zack cast a stopping spell, but missed. Thinking fast, Ryu used enemy skill and learned Stop. He used it on Zack and Zack was frozen in midair.
"Congrats kid. You're the first one to beat me since I fought Sephiroth. What is your name?"
"Ryu Strife. My mother and father are both head members in the AVALANHCE movement dedicated to stop Shin-Ra. My mother is Tifa Lockheart and my father is Cloud Strife-"
"Not the Cloud Strife."
"How do you know my father?"
"Why, I trained him. Thought him everything he knows. I could tell you things about him that you probably didn't know if you take this blasted spell off."
Ryu stood amazed at this news about his father. He quickly cast Haste and Zack fell on the ground. "Yes, I think that would make a very long story, probably enough to make two books, but I don't have the time right now. I must find my brother."
"You're looking for your brother? Let me come along to help since you have a weak blade."
"Thank you. I am inclined to accept your request."
Ryu and Zack were walking for a long time when they came to the outer gates of Midgar.
"You know, I can't shake off the feeling that we're being followed."
As soon as those words got out of Ryu's mouth did two monsters come out of nowhere and attacked. Zack, thinking fast, cast a stopping spell. The beasts were paralyzed. Moving in for the kill, Ryu severed off their heads with a single stroke. The heads fell to the ground with a dull thud. Ryu then saw that the monsters had dropped gil.
"So my young friend, was that your first fight?" Zack asked tentatively as he was counting the gil.
"Yea. It was. Scary too. First time I had to kill something. Ever. I don't like killing things."
"I wonder. You are very strong. You killed the beast with one stroke, yet you say it was your first fight. I think that you can be the next Sephiroth, only this time you're good and you're not crazy. Are you?
"Of course not. I'm just as sane as you are."
Zack replied with a smirk, "Then you're aren't very sane. I'm not. I'm legally insane. But any ways, you could match up with Sephiroth if you had the right blade. When we go to Midgar, I'll look for a Masamune.
"What's a Masamune?"
"A Masamune is the sword that Sephiroth has. It is a prototype Mako- nanotech blade made of an unknown alloy that can be keyed to your mind so that your fighting would be improved. Let's go into the city and get one. We might have to get a high-paying job because that blade doesn't come cheap. I was planning to get one myself."
As they walked into the city, Ryu couldn't shake off the feeling that Zack was hiding something from him.
