Chapter 4
Squall yawned; he pulled back the flap on his tent and stepped out to find Cloud cleaning his sword.
"He's here" Cloud said.
"I know"
"If we find him we're going to have to be ready to fight, and even then we stand a good chance of being beaten."
"Well, there are three of us."
"That doesn't change anything his power is un-natural, and by the way." Cloud looked at Ratchet's tent. "Your friend hasn't really helped at all has he? Do we really need him?"
"He knows how to fight, that's all that matters."
"I havn't seen him do anything spectacular yet."
"He was able to block that monster's blow with that thing of his; he should be able to block a sword blow"
"From him?" Cloud said. Squall sighed.
"We'll see."
"You think we're gunna meet him?" Squall nodded. Ratchet pulled back the flap to his own tent, yawning.
"You guys ok?"
"Yeh" Squall said. "We're just trying to think up of a way to get out of this land.
"Island" Cloud said. Everyone turned to him. "When I got here I was on the edge of that tall cliff there" Cloud pointed up to a large cliff. "I could see all around the place, I'm afraid we're surrounded by water."
"I guess are best chance would be to find the edge of the island and then walk the whole way round to try and find a boat or something." Squall said.
"Good idea Ratchet said. "Let's get going" and with that they all set off.
Yuffie had walked partially into the forest to collect some firewood. She was able to find reasonable sized logs to burn, and when she went down to pick up a large twig she heard a rustling in the trees above her. She put down the wood and looked up then again behind her this time she heard it again, then once more but this time she was able to catch a glimpse of a long black cloak. She stepped back, she knew what, who was up there and she knew she wasn't safe. She started to slowly walk back when the man dropped out from the tree a few meters in front of her. He looked up at her and smiled. Yuffie screamed and ran as fast as she could back to the camp. I have to get away! It's him! She ran full speed back towards camp but she knew she couldn't outrun him. It was when she returned to the camp she knew her fate was sealed. Her camp was placed on the end of a cliff there was nowhere to run except backwards or over the cliff into the sea. She got as far back as she could and saw him walking out if the trees, smiling. Panicking she removed one of her shurikens from her belt and threw it at him hoping to slow him down to give her time to escape. As the shuriken flew through the air time seemed to slow down for Yuffie, she saw the shuriken fly towards his face with amazing accuracy, but he just casually as if it were nothing as swatting away a fly caught the shuriken in mid-air. Yuffie turned around, trying to work out roughly how far the fall was and if she could maybe swim to shore. These ideas flew out of her head as she felt a sharp pain in between her shoulder blades. He had caught the shuriken and threw it back at her; her own shuriken was now imbedded in her back, losing consciousness she toppled over the side of the cliff. Smiling like he normally did he walked back to his main camp, something was telling him that his base wasn't empty. More lives to repay he thought to himself.
"I think we should go in" Squall said. They had been walking round the perimeter of the island and had found an abandoned warehouse.
"I agree it is worth having a look." Cloud replied.
"Come on then gang!" Ratchet said. "Let's check out" They both looked at Ratchet as if he had just said something very stupid and embarrassing.
"Ok then" Squall replied. They walked up to the warehouse's steel gates and pulled them back quietly. There was a short bend before the huge space of the warehouse itself meaning one of them could check to see if the coast was clear. Cloud went up to take a peek round the corner and came back very white and whispered to Squall. Ratchet crept up and took a look himself, the warehouse wasn't deserted. There were three people there. One of them had long, white, hair and a long black cloak. The other was a girl with fair, black hair, and the other he recognized. It was Sasha.
