"What do you mean 'thats our guy?'" Yuna asked. "Cloud,do we have to keep this a secret?" Tidus asked. Cloud shook his head. "Not anymore. Aeris just said only you had to find out on your own." "Aeris? Tidus,tell me what hes talking about please,"Yuna pleaded.
Tidus placed his hands on his sides and sighed. "Yuna,I never met these men until today. You see,Spira is on the verge of exinction and the cause of it was the man on the sphere."
"Which one?" Yuna asked. "Both of them,"Cloud replied. "I really didnt believe them at first,but I know theyre not lying. I know now our world relly is in peril. Thats why Im going to fight till the very end,"Tidus assured. "Can I come?" Rikku asked out of nowhere. "Yeah,"Yuna added. "I think I can take up a Third Adventure."
Tidus shook his head and placed his hand on Yunas shoulder. "No Yuna. You must protect and guide the people of Spira." "No,TIDUS! You just came back to me! Theres no way Im ever loosing you again,"Yuna protested.
"Shes right,"replied Paine. "You DID just come back, Tidus."
"Yuna,Tidus has no control if you go or not. Aeris takes us where we need to go and we go there. Just like us with Spira. Me and Cloud would have gladly brought our friends along,"repled Squall but he was interrupted by Shinra.
"Weve got some heavy waves in Besaid on the commsphere. Yuna,want to check it out?" Shinra asked. "sure Shinra,"Yuna smiled as she watched the Commsphere.
Logging in Data……..Connected to Commpshere……Complete!
Wakkas face appeared on the screen. "Hey Bruddas,this is Wakka,ya?"
"Hi Wakka,"Yuna half-laughed.
"Yeah,I got these weird people staying here. Theyre asking for Tidus. You think you guys can haul the Ship down here. Oh yeah,they said theyre looking for a cloud too. Whatever that means,"Wakka smiled.
"Well be right there,"Yuna smiled back showing a thumbs-up and a wink.
How pathetic,Cloud thought to himself criticizing Yunas gestures.
About 10 minutes later, Cloud, Squall, and Tidus walked down the slopes to the village.
They reached the center of the village and Tidus soon studied Clouds joyful facial expression.
"TIFA, BARRET, YUFFIE, CID, NANAKI!"
"CLOUD!" Tifa shouted in delight and ran up to Cloud and embraced him resting her head on his shoulder.
"Cloud,where have you been?" Tifa stared into his beautiful green eyes with a tear escaping her left eye. "Ive been…-" Cloud was interrupted by Yuffie. "He was gathering Squall and Tidus. Thats what. Were going to save the world from the evil CORA!"
Yuffie,its me,Aeris. Cloud learned all the things he needed to knowbefore you found him today. Thankyou for being my Messenger Girl.
" Listen Everyone, Im going to be going away again very soon. I dont know what world awaits me next. Ive had quite a small adventure exploring worlds but each exploration was a brief visit. I could fall unconscious in a matter of seconds like I did in front of the ruins of Midgar. This is the Ultimate Quest. This is the Final Fantasy,"Cloud replied as he kissed her lightly on the forehead and walked back over to Squall and Tidus.
Good Speech,Cloud.
Thanks,Aeris.
Are you ready for your next departure?
Yes,I am. Who will I be looking for this time.
You will join me in the Light Realm.
Cloud nodded and stared at all his friends.
"Nanaki. Be Tifas guard dog for me.
"Barret. If it wasnt for you,hiring me to join AVALANCE I wouldnt have gotten this far.
"Yuffie. Keep your spirit up.
"Cid,stop smoking.
"I never recalled seeing you two,"Cloud said. He was looking at Seifer and Kyuko.
"Same here. My names Seifer. Dont even consider me a member of this group."
"Same here,"Kyuko replied.
"ARE YOU KIDDING!" Yuffie exclaimed in excitement. "Cloud,if it wasnt for these two guys wed be stuck in some retarded dome."
"Perhaps,we can catch up on all our adventures. But remember, as I said ,the three of us could disappear any moment,"Cloud replied.
