Chapter 9
"I have them sir." Link said, bowing down. The three women on the horse were right there in front of the Supreme Master.
"Welcome thee, I am the Supreme Master. I prefer Cid for short," Cid greeted. The old man looked like a raisin. Most of his hair was gone, and he had a silver, lion headed cane to walk with.
"Uh hi," Rinoa greeted back.
"What she said," Quistis retorted. Selphie just sat there, not saying anything.
"Well, I hope your trip here hasn't been too rough." Cid joked, and started coughing when he tried to laugh.
"I will show you too your rooms." Link confirmed. He walked down the halls leading his guest. He came to a room, number 8. "This is your room." Link said, opening the door. It was beautiful on the inside, better than the premium hotels they had ever seen.
"I guess this isn't too bad." Quistis complemented as Link helped her down. The girls seemed happy, except Rinoa. She knew somewhat what was going to happen. She just couldn't tell them what was going to happen. After all she figured there is still much they will learn anyways.

Looking around, Squall noticed they were in front of a huge castle like structure. Irvine noticed hit hat lying in the dirt a few feet away. It started moving, Irvine screamed.
"AAHHHHH, my hat is moving on its own." He quickly ran behind Sephiroth. Sephiroth lunged his sword through the hat, and blood poured out from underneath it. He lifted it with his sword, and handed it back to Irvine. "Oh, it's just a monkey. This place is giving me the creeps already." Complained Irvine, as he wiped the blood off with a hanky.
"They should be here any minute." Sephiroth implied while he looked at the bright sun.
"Who?" Zell asked, curiously looking around at his new environment.
"The people from the other dimensions, I imagine they care about there girlfriends as much as you guys do." Sephiroth confirmed. Just then, a couple of people seemed to just appear. On the right was a man, he was his spiky blond hair stood out. The left, there was actually a woman with him. She had long braided hair and pink dress.
"I got the only one that was willing to come." Aeris said, looking at Sephiroth.
"Is Cid Highwind dead?" Sephiroth questioned, looking at Aeris. Sephiroth looked over at Cloud's buster sword and saw blood on it. "Never mind, you did a good job." He complimented. Just then the spiky headed guy got a grim look.
"What are you doing here!?" Cloud raised his sword, in attack position.
"Cool it, I'm ok now. What you killed down there wasn't me. It was Jenova." Sephiroth answered.
"But how are you alive?" Cloud asked.
"Remember, ya threw me off a pipe. I was knocked unconscious, and fell in impure materia. And somehow it got into the lifestream, and floated me north to the mountains. After the earth quake, that woman over there in pink, she got me out. Blamed me for stabbing her or something." Sephiroth was getting tired of explaining, so Aeris finished.
"It was Jenova, in the shape of Sephiroth that stabbed me. AND I WASN'T DEAD YOU MORON! I found my special materia. It rejuvenated me. Then later after some earthquake, this man floated up to the shore around that excavation place. He was encoded. They helped me chisel him out, and the first thing he said was."
"Is it too late?" Sephiroth cut in. "Upon long nap, I had a dream. It was this scenario. I remembered seeing a portal down in that mako reactor while I was falling. When I went through it, a man named Cid was talking about his plans. I heard them, and his future son is born he is going to wipe out all these dimensions, and make different ones. Plus after the old codger dies, destiny will choose the next Supreme. And I have already chosen a Queen." Sephiroth explained, looking at Aeris. She quickly ran over to him, kissing him. Sephiroth's face turned bright red from embarrassment.
"Sorry, I get carried away." Aeris sighed.
"I think its just funny." Zell got cut off by a loud yell.
"SILENCE!!!" Sephiroth yelled, at the top of his lungs. Everybody was completely confused by this story, except Cloud. He still wondered why Aeris liked Sephiroth.
"I understand now, sorry for misjudging you Sephiroth." Cloud apologized. "Anyways, I'm Cloud. I guess you guys could say I'm from the '7th Dimension' and I'm here for Tifa, and Yuffie." Just then, another group appeared. One had a bandana and a large tattoo on his chest. Another had blond hair, and a tail. And the fat one was dressed in armor. Then four others appeared. One was big and blue, covered with fur. Another wore a red trench coat, and tented glasses. The blond one had an eye patch, and one had a long red robe, and a long ponytail.
"I got them for ya Auron," confirmed the bandana man.
"Thanks Jecht, wasn't sure I could count on ya, but you pulled through." Auron answered back.
"Hey, you're the host that was in my dream!" Sephiroth started...
"Yes I was, I chose you, because I knew that you have never failed an assignment." Auron replied. "Anyways, instead of standing around here like idiots, let's all introduce ourselves, since nobody knows you are. I will start, my name is Auron. I am here to help you. And I don't like introducing myself." The bandana man started next.
"Hi, my name is Jecht. As you know, we are all here to save somebody. My son was not able to come for her, he hasn't served enough time in the Farplane yet to leave. So I am his substitute." Next the blue one started to talk.
"Kimarhi is ronso. Ronso fight for pride." Then Zell stood up.
"I am Zell, and I love hotdogs." Then Sephiroth is started to speak.
"This is getting stupid, how about everybody talk to who they want to talk to and that's final." Auron agreed with Sephiroth too. The crowd of warriors explained all of there problems, and motives to each other.
After almost an hour of chit chat, they decided to form a plan. Only problem is nobody possessed the knowledge of defeating Cid. Only way they thought was too take the girls, and make sure he never has a son.
"I got an idea, let's form four groups. Each of us goes through there trying to find the holdings. We meet back here in 2 hours. Once we get them out, and all the groups are supposed to meet here, if you aren't here you will be left behind." Auron suggested.
"Sounds like a brilliant plan." Sephiroth gestured.
"Ok, since my idea I choose captains" Auron implied. "I captain of Squad 1, Sephiroth is Squad 2, Squall is Squad 3, and ..." Auron was cut off.
"I want Squad 4," demanded Aeris.
"No, you will just be more tempting for him to come after. I have you safe now, and I do not want to have to worry about leverage." Sephiroth confirmed.
"I want to be Squad 4, and I will no matter what you say. Or I will go alone." Aeris continued. Sephiroth started to complain.
"But..."
"Fine, Aeris. You are Squad 4." Now since I'm Squad 1, I choose first. Gippal, you're with me," motioned Auron. Sephiroth was next.
"Cloud your with me." Sephiroth said.
"Zell, you're with me." Squall said.
"Jecht, you're in my group." Aeris insisted.
"Two at a time now. Nooj, Kimarhi, you guys are with me." Auron said.
"Zidane, Steiner, you are with me." Sephiroth ordered.
"Wait, we are uneven, I want one of your guys, Auron." Squall asked.
"Kimarhi, you are with Squall." Auron agreed.
"Ok, Steiner is with Aeris. Now we all have teams of 3, which leaves one more." Sephiroth stated,
"Yeah, what about me?" Irvine asked. "Why am I always the oddball left out?"
"Aeris he is with you," Auron gestured.
"Huh uh, no way," she bickered.
"He is with you Sephiroth." Auron tried again.
"Nope, screw that." Sephiroth said.
"I ain't taking him." Squall declared.
"Alright, Irvine. You stand out here, and watch for us to come out." Auron finished.
"Oh yeah, I always wanted to be a one man team, the most important. Auron your awesome!" yelled Irvine. Now the four Squads were getting ready to enter the fort, hoping they would all come back alive...
"I have them sir." Link said, bowing down. The three women on the horse were right there in front of the Supreme Master.
"Welcome thee, I am the Supreme Master. I prefer Cid for short," Cid greeted. The old man looked like a raisin. Most of his hair was gone, and he had a silver, lion headed cane to walk with.
"Uh hi," Rinoa greeted back.
"What she said," Quistis retorted. Selphie just sat there, not saying anything.
"Well, I hope your trip here hasn't been too rough." Cid joked, and started coughing when he tried to laugh.
"I will show you too your rooms." Link confirmed. He walked down the halls leading his guest. He came to a room, number 8. "This is your room." Link said, opening the door. It was beautiful on the inside, better than the premium hotels they had ever seen.
