Chapter 5
Ratchet tried to call out to Sasha. To try and warn her of what was going to happen. He wanted to help but he knew what was coming, in one quick maneuver the man shot out his sword and impaled Sasha. Her eyes filled with a sense of shock and surprise. She coughed up blood and fell to the ground. "Sasha! NO!" Ratchet yelled, and drew his omni-wrench and ran at the man with Cloud and Squall right behind him. "you fucking bastard you killed her! I'll fucking kill you!" Ratchet ran at the man with no intention of stopping, despite Squall's calls of warning. The girl with black hair had ran behind Squall, shaking. Ratchet went to slash his wrench down but the man grabbed his weapon and pulled it while Ratchet was still holding on. The man's strength was immense. He threw Ratchet across the room, causing him to crash into the wall behind him. Cloud and Squall had made it over to the man and were fighting him now. Cloud stabbed forward with his sword which the man knocked out of the way with his hand, Squall then took a swipe at the mans arm with his gunblade which the man parried with his sword. The fight went on; although Cloud and Squall were strong the man was still winning. Ratchet got up and went to join the fight although it was currently raging on the other side of the warehouse. Before he was able to reach them, the man kicked out at Squall knocking him to the ground, and struck an almighty blow at Cloud's sword causing it to fly out of his hands, just before the man went to slash down and finish Cloud off another man in red robes dropped from the ceiling.
"Squall get Rinoa and the rest out of here!" Squall got up and took hold of the girl with black hairs hand.
"Guys come on!" Squall shouted.
"What are we doing here? That guy's gunna get slaughtered!" Ratchet shouted.
"We need to rest."
"Alright before we go back in fill me in on what's going on. I don't even now who those guys are!" Ratchet replied.
"This is Rinoa" Squall said pointing at the girl. "That guy in the red robes is called Vincent.
"Ok and the other guy?"
"He's …" Squall stopped and breathed in slowly. "His name is Sephiroth."
"Ratchet and the others ran back into the warehouse to see Vincent firing two pistols at Sephiroth who was dodging them and deflecting them with his sword. When the others waked into Sephiroth's line of view, he looked at them and smiled. Without warning Sephiroth suddenly sprouted a wing from his left shoulder and flew up, smashing through the glass roof of the building.
"I'll get him" Cloud said.
"Cloud if you go up there you'll be killed!" Squall replied. Up there? Ratchet thought. How?
"Somebody's gotta try." Cloud then looked up at the hole in the ceiling and then sprouted a wing of his own and flew up to follow after him.
