Cloud woke up shortly before morning, surprised at how bloody his sheets were.
"Ow…" he mumbled sleepily as he walked over to his dresser. He grabbed a small green orb on top of it and muttered, "Full Cure." He instantly felt the skin on his knuckles seal and the pain in his hands vanish.
"Much better," he sighed as he began dressing himself. Once he was clad in his work clothes, blue jeans, a white shirt, and a special pink hair tie to keep his hair out of his eyes, he walked into the kitchen and began making eggs and toast. Normally he would eat a lot more, but after a night of troubled sleep he didn't have much of an appetite.
"Man… that dream really hit me really hard, and to be quite honest I'm really pissed off that I've become such a wimp! Where the hell did the old Cloud go? He wouldn't be sitting around alone in a little cabin, breeding chocobos for a living. He'd be doing something to solve his problems! But what can I do to solve…"
Cloud suddenly jerked upright, knocking the pan of eggs to the floor.
"Wait! If the Full Cure materia can completely restore a person to perfect health, and the Revive materia can bring someone back to life…"
Forgetting about his breakfast Cloud rushed into his bedroom, ripped open his closet door, and started stripping off his clothes.
So he could put on his armor of course.
He began inserting his most powerful materia into the five slots of his solid black armor thinking ahead to what he might need.
"Hmmm lets see… Full Cure is a must, I'm gonna need Barrier to protect against magic and physical attacks, Heal to cure status ailments, HP plus so I'll have more life, and Knights of the Round since its my strongest summon."
Cloud then reverently reached into the back of his closet and pulled out his favorite weapon, the Buster Sword.
"Me and you have gone back a long ways buddy…" He said as he slid his finger down the still-sharp blade, barely managing to not cut himself. "You ready for one last adventure?"
Without needing to think, Cloud quickly placed Ultima, linked with both All and Quadra, into the empty materia spots in the blade. Vincent had been the one to tell him about this deadly combo and he had never gotten a chance to test it out. With a single casting, the Ultima spell would not only hit all his opponents at once, but it would also hit each of them four times.
Cloud glanced at himself in the mirror and smiled at what he saw.
"The old Cloud is back!" he whispered as he re-tied the hair tie around his wrist before sprinting out the door, ignoring the mess on the kitchen floor and the smell of burning toast.
Author's Note: Sweet the old Cloud's back YAY! No more tears and sadness for him it's time to kick some ass! But he should know better then leaving toast in the toaster! That could be a fire hazard! OOO suspense! What might Cloud's plan be! I don't know if you can actually combine Ultima, All, and Quadra but if you could it would be seriously badass! I know I said this chapter was gonna have a lot of humor but I decided to separate it with what is now going to be chapter 2. Oh and don't worry, other chars will soon be joining the story! Plz RR!
Editing Note: Wow… Looking back this chapter is DAMN short…
