I don't own Final Fantasy 7, but I do own Kale and Sam… Angelina owns her self….
Chapter 4: Raid on the Midgar Ruins
(two days later, in Kalm)
The group had taken Yuffie's body and buried it in Wutia. Then they traveled to Kalm. There they had all been mourning for her for the last two days. Vincent hadn't come out of his room since they got there.
Angelina: do you think we'll get home?
Kale: we'll find a way.
Angelina: what happens if Holy Meteor hits before we get out of here?
Kale: it's not going to hit.
Angelina: how can you be so sure?
Kale: the good guys always win remember?
Angelina: in movies and games, yeah.
Kale: and where are we Angelina?
Angelina: in a game…
Kale: so the good guys will win.
Angelina: I hope you're right.
Kale kissed Angelina on the lips lightly and pulled her up against him.
Angelina: I love you.
Kale: I love you too.
( in Sam's room)
Sam: what do you think Vincent will do?
Tifa: I don't know… I just hope he doesn't go back to his coffin.
Sam: it's like god doesn't want him to be happy.
Tifa: I think we should go talk to him.
Sam: he might be unstable, I'll go.
Sam got up and went to Vincent's door and hear Vincent talking to someone and what sound like a female talking back.
: if you do me one favor I can bring Yuffie back to you.
Vincent: I'll do anything…
: good… now, I want you to lead the group through sector 5, we'll ambush them, kill them, and if everything goes as planned we'll revive Yuffie.
Vincent: that's all I have to do?
: yes.
Vincent: but how can I trust you?
: I'll give you this…
There was silence for a moment.
Vincent: you're giving me this?
: if we double cross you then you can destroy it.
Vincent: fine we have a deal.
: good Vincent.
Sam heard someone walk around in the room then lay on the bed. Sam knocked on the door.
Sam: Vincent you in there?
Vincent: yes.
Sam: can I come in?
Sam heard him walk to the door and unlock it, and it creped open slowly. Vincent went back to the bed and Sam came in, closed the door and sat in a chair facing the bed.
Sam: how are you dealing with Yuffie's death?
Vincent: it hurts…. but it's getting better.
Sam: I over heard the talk you just had…
Vincent: …
Sam: look I know you want her back… but killing us isn't the answer…
Vincent: …
Sam: I know how you feel….
Vincent: HOW COULD YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL!
Sam: because I lost a loved one.. I failed to protect her… and she was killed right before my eyes, and there was nothing I could do but watch.
Vincent: what was her name?
Sam: May….
Vincent: I see…
Sam: and every recently… here in fact, I lost someone I cared very deeply for… more than May in fact…
Vincent: who?
Sam: … Tarah….
Vincent: what?
Sam: she was my girlfriend back in my world…
Vincent: so Sephiroth did brainwash her…
Sam: if he hadn't she would have remembered me.
Vincent: it must be hard…. seeing her like that… and not being able to help her.
Sam: it's like May all over again….. but….
Vincent: she gave me this…
Vincent dug something out of his pocket.
Sam: WHAT THE FUCK!
Vincent: I don't believe that they'd trust me with this for long.
Sam: let me see it.
Sam took the orb from Vincent's hand.
Sam: the Holy Meteor materia.
Vincent: so what are we gonna do with it?
Sam: destroy it, what else?
Sam lifted the Materia into the air and threw it to the ground. It slammed to the ground and shattered into millions of pieces, then there was a flash of light. As the light slowly faded, and their eyes came into focus they saw Tarah standing in front of them, and they both stood up ready to fight.
Tarah: I knew this would happen… see the only way to summon Holy Meteor is to destroy the materia…. so you just summoned the end of the world…
Sam: WHAT!
Tarah: oh I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that…
Sam: ggrrr….
Tarah: in two hours it will appear in the sky, then you will have two weeks to live…
Vincent: damn you!
Vincent pulled out his death penalty and aimed it at her head.
Sam: wait…
Vincent: why?
Sam: Tarah don't you remember me?
Tarah: why would I remember someone like you?
Sam: where are you from?
Tarah: I do not know…
Sam: what's the last thing you remember?
Tarah: why should I tell you?
Sam: please just answer…
Tarah: I remember waking up in a large glass container filled with mako, then it drained out and Sephiroth was standing in front of me…
Sam: tell me exactly what happened after that, please.
Tarah: I do not know why but something is telling me to answer you…
Sam: well?
Tarah: after that Sephiroth helped me to a chair…
(flashback)
Tarah: where am I?
Sephiroth: you are in the Shinra mansion…
Tarah: huh?
Sephiroth: you had an accident and were brought here for me to heal you…
Tarah: I don't remember any of that..
Sephiroth: the crash caused you to lose all of your memory….
Tarah: I don't even remember my own name…
Sephiroth: it's Tarah.
(end flashback)
Sam: so he told you that your memory was erased?
Tarah: yes.
Sam: well I knew you before then.
Tarah: you did, really?
Sam: your name is Tarah, you're from Kale's, Angelina's, and my world, you were a very good friend to me… and.. my girlfriend, until one day you disappeared….. I believe Sephiroth took you….
Tarah: I do not believe you…
Tarah pointed her hand at Sam and a ice sickle appeared in front of it.
Tarah: die…
The ice sickle flew at Sam and stabbed him through his right shoulder and came out the back.
Tarah: have a nice trip to hell…
Tarah slowly faded away and Vincent bent by Sam. Vincent looked in his pockets and on his gun and bangle for a cure materia but he did not have one.
Vincent: SOMEBODY HELP!
Vincent put his hands over the wound and put pressure on it. Tifa ran into the room and knelt by Sam.
Tifa: Cure!
A green light surrounded Sam and the wound healed. The rest of the group came in and watched in worry.
Tifa: Sam?
Sam: I'm ok…
Tifa hugged Sam to her chest.
Tifa: oh thank god you're ok…
Sam: help me to the bed…
Tifa and Vincent helped Sam over to the bed and laid him down.
Cloud: what happened?
Vincent told them what had happened, leaving out the part about Tarah being Sam's girlfriend.
Cid: god damn it!
Barret: so you're saying he accidentally summoned Holy Meteor?
Vincent: sadly…
Sam: what have I done?
Cloud: it's not you're fault…. They probably wanted Vincent to do it because they knew after he killed Yuffie and he was the cause of Holy Meteor in the sky he'd kill himself… we'd be leaderless and they'd attack…
Sam: we have to find the Rekin Cannon… and revive Aeris…
Cloud: I thought you said we should wait till after we beat Sephiroth?
Sam: she might be able to help us….
Vincent pulled out the Crystal materia.
Sam: not here…. outside of Midgar….
Vincent: we rest one more day then we move out…
Vincent went over to a desk in the room and opened a drawer.
Vincent: WHERE IS IT?
Vincent dug through the drawer but he did not find what he was looking for.
Vincent: it's gone!
Tifa: what is?
Vincent: the map to the Rekin Cannon!
Sam: Tarah must have taken it!
Barret: that damn bitch!
Sam: do not blame her….
Cid: why the hell not?
Sam: Sephiroth has brain washed her…
Cloud: then she's lost…
Sam: we should help her if we can…
Vincent: we will.
Sam: thank you.
Tifa: ok everybody out time for him to get some sleep!
Tifa pushed everyone out of the room and locked the door, then went to the bed and laid next to Sam.
Tifa: are you gonna be ok?
Sam: I'm feeling a lot better with you next to me…
Tifa: you can be so sweet…
Sam chuckled.
Sam: yeah I know…
Tifa laid her head on his chest and looked up at his face.
Tifa: when this is over…. and your friends find a way back to your world… will you go with them?
Sam: I don't know… depends on a few things….
Tifa: am I one of them?
Sam: of course…
Tifa: if you want to go home I'll go with you…
Sam: it wouldn't be wise….
Tifa: why not?
Sam: I don't look anything like I do now… I have black hair instead of silver, hazel instead of red, and I am not the age I am now….
Tifa: I don't care how you look… as long as you love me… I don't care…
Sam: I could never stop loving you….
Tifa: but I am wondering one thing…
Sam: what's that?
Tifa: how old are you really?
Sam: fifteen.
Tifa: that's only five years younger than me… so no problem…
Sam: my world has laws… like adults can't go out with teens…
Tifa: then I'll wait till you're old enough.
Sam: I don't know if I could wait that long…
Tifa: then we can still go out as long as we don't get caught…
Sam: sneaky….
Tifa: I know…
Sam pulled Tifa up next to him and kissed her lightly on the lips. Tifa opened her mouth and Sam slipped his tongue into her mouth and their tongues began intertwine. Slowly they broke the kiss and looked into each other's eyes.
Sam: I love you…
Tifa: I love you too…
The two kissed again and fell asleep that way.
( that morning )
Vincent had awakened before the sun had rose and he was sitting at a table in the hotel restaurant eating breakfast, when Sam came down the steps and sat at the table across from Vincent. A waiter came over and Sam ordered some food.
Sam: good morning.
Vincent: same to you.
Vincent: have you looked outside this morning?
Sam: I do not need to, I know what's there.
Vincent: the news was on just a little bit before you came in… they said that the new meteor will hit the moon causing the moon to break up and hit Earth, hopefully that won't kill to many people… we have two weeks before Meteor hits us… and four days before the pieces of the moon hit.
Sam: and it's all my fault…
Vincent: you didn't know….
Sam: I think that the group should split up.
Vincent: why?
Sam: so we can have people fighting Sephiroth and Tarah and people at the Rekin Cannon.
Vincent: that's wise… but who goes where?
Sam: it shouldn't be that hard to get to the Rekin Cannon so I'll go… the rest of you go fight Sephiroth.
Vincent: and what of Tifa?
Sam: I don't want her involved at all…
Vincent: I agree we've lost enough women already….
Sam: but the problem is will she listen and stay?
Sam's food came and he began eating.
Vincent: most likely not..
Tifa came down the steps spotted Sam and Vincent went over.
Sam: speak of the devil…
Tifa sat next to Sam.
Vincent: we were just talking about you…
Tifa: you were?
Sam: listen Tifa… I don't want you to go… I want you to stay here…
Tifa: why?
Sam: I don't want you to get hurt….
Tifa: I am NOT staying.
Vincent: like you said… she won't stay behind…
Sam: then you'll be coming with me to the Rekin Cannon.
Tifa: of course I'll be coming with you…
One by one the group came down and had breakfast. Then got their stuff and left. They all looked up to the sky a saw Holy Meteor, it was about six times bigger than the normal Meteor, it glowed with a faint white light, and you could see the moon in front of it.
Sam: my god what have I done…
Tifa: forget about it…
They group left Kalm and started toward Midgar.
( in a field about 20 miles away from Midgar)
Sam: I think this is far enough.
Vincent pulled out the Crystal Materia and handed it to Sam.
Vincent: you do it.
Sam: ok…
Sam read the instructions then sat down.
Sam: uuhh you might wanna move back…
The group took a few steps back and watched Sam.
Sam: here goes nothing…
Cloud: I hope this works…
Sam: Des mon chi thon bekanas Aeris!
There was a bright flash of light that blinded the group. As the light slowly faded, Aeris was no where to be seen.
Sam: did it work?
Just then the group heard screaming from above them, someone was falling out of the sky.
Sam: Cat Sith use yourself as a cushion!
Cat Sith got on his back where the person was going to fall and when they hit him they bounced off and landed on the ground.
Cloud: YOU'RE ALIVE!
Aeris: DON'T LOOK AT ME I'M NUDE!
All the guys turned and looked away.
Tifa: hold on I'll get you some cloths of mine..
Tifa reached in her pack and gave Aeris a tank-top like hers but it was black and some shorts like hers. Aeris quickly put them on and stood up.
Aeris: you can turn around now…
Cloud was the first to turn and he hugged Aeris.
Aeris: nice to see you Cloud..
Cloud: I've missed you so much!
Aeris: I've missed you too.
Cloud stopped hugging her and stepped back.
Vincent: not that we aren't happy to see you but the planet is in danger…
Aeris: I know I saw it all from the promised land…
Sam: do you know how to get to the Rekin Cannon?
Aeris: I do…
Sam: write it down for us please…
Sam took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to Aeris. She wrote down the directions and handed it to Sam.
Sam: it was nice to meet you Aeris…
Tifa: good to see you again…
Sam and Tifa turned to walk away but Aeris called to them.
Aeris: be careful of the guardian of the Cannon….
Sam: we will.
The two began walking off again.
Vincent: we have to hurry to Midgar.
The group turned and walked toward Midgar.
(outside Midgar)
The group stood before the gate to sector 5, what they saw before them was horrifying, the sky above Midgar was black, the plates in sector two, six , and three had fallen, fires dotted Midgar, limbs, bones , and blood of people were scattered all over the place, you couldn't look anywhere in Midgar and not see something destroyed. The only undamaged building was the Shinra H.Q.
The group could not see the top because the building now stood above the clouds.
Barret: I don't remember it being that tall…
Cloud: they must have done it.
Vincent: lets go.
Cloud swiped his card through and the doors opened half way then stopped.
Cid: god damn it!
Cloud: now what?
Cid pulled a stick of dynamite out of his pack and put in next to the door.
Cid: run away!
The group turned and ran and about five seconds later it exploded.
Vincent: let's hurry…
The group ran through the remains of the door and toward the support that held up the Shinra H.Q. The group made their way around the ruble to about ¾ of the way there when Tarah faded into view in front of them.
Tarah: I'd knew you'd come…
Barret: what you think we'd do ya foo'.
Cloud: we don't wanna have to hurt you….
Angelina: Tarah remember me… Angelina?
Tarah: no…
Kale: what about me…. Kale…
Tarah: I remember you now, Kale….. oh yeah…. It's coming back to me… I killed you…
Tarah made five ice sickles like she had made against Sam and threw them at Kale, one went through his right arm, two more through his legs, another embedded itself in his left torso, and the last went through his right arm causing it to fall off. Using his good arm Kale grabbed where his arm had been severed.
Angelina: Kale!
Angelina went over and ripped her shirt and tied it the best she could on Kale's severed arm.
Tarah: does it hurt?
Kale: wrench!
Tarah: heh…
Angelina: you're not the Tarah we know….
Tarah: that's because you don't know me!
A huge sword like the buster sword appeared in her hands but the blade was black.
Tarah: time to DIE!
Tarah charged at Cloud and swung her sword. Cloud could barely follow her movements but was able to bring up his sword to block. Cloud swung at Tarah but she blocked. Cloud slid his foot across the ground to Tarah's feet causing her to fall back. Cloud stabbed through her right shoulder and she fell limp on his blade.
Cloud: it can't be over…
Tarah: oh how right you are!
Tarah pulled back her sword and thrust it into Cloud's stomach, then kicked him off her blade. Cid ran forward and jabbed at her with his spear at her torso, she jumped back then forward bring down her sword and cutting Cid's spear in half the went to cut Cid in half at his torso but gunfire erupted form Barret and Vincent. The bullets scraped her skin a few passed through her right arm making it totally useless, another bullet shot off her left thumb, then the two stopped firing.
Tarah: in order to win you must know when to run…
Tarah faded out of view, and Aeris knelt over Cloud.
Aeris: kinra mamrun sho thon healen.
The wound on Cloud's stomach healed and his eyes opened, and he sat up.
Cloud: I'm alive?
Aeris: yep..
Angelina: Aeris can you help Kale?
Aeris nodded and went over to Kale.
Aeris: kinra mamrun sho thon healen.
Kale's wounds healed and his arm regenerated.
Vincent: let's go before they send in reinforcements!
The group ran toward the support.
( with Tifa and Sam )
The two had taken a boat to the northern continent. From there they ran to the City of the ancients and where standing in the underground part, in a building across from the alter where Sephiroth killed Aeris.
Sam: ok.. It says there is a hole in the wall in the back of this room..
Sam found the hole in stuck his hand in in the back of the hole he felt a crank.
Sam: here goes nothing…
Sam turn the crank and a square of light appeared on the floor in front of the window facing the alter, then a stone column came up and a transparent computer screen and a transparent keyboard as well over the stone column, and on the walls of the building more computer screens popped up.
: state the password.
Sam: password?
Sam looked at the sheet and there was no mention of a password.
Sam: she didn't write down a password….
: you have thirty seconds to comply…
Tifa: think of something.
Sam: Cetra?
: incorrect password. Two more chances before counter measures are enabled…
Sam: yikes….
: fifteen seconds…
Sam: Holy?
: incorrect password, final chance before counter measures are enabled…
Sam: Tifa?
: ten seconds…
: five seconds…
Tifa: Holy Meteor?
: correct password…
Sam: why didn't I think of that?
Sam walked up to the keyboard then at the instructions.
Sam: I hope I don't mess it up.
Sam typed in 'command: ccs: 2321' and the ground began to shake. A crack formed on the ground around the alter, the water began draining into it, the ground moved away from the alter, and the ceiling opened up. The alter began rising into the sky, along with the rest of the cannon. The cannon rose high above the canyon the city was in then fell to a horizontal position pointing toward Midgar. It was shaped like the Sister Cannon but the chamber's casing was black, and the barrel's outside had, small, square, blue panels, and in the middle of the barrel was a sliver ring with four thin steel beams that ended in a crave and a point. Three thin doors on each side of the cannon opened and long solar panels came out of them. The two metal support beam shot out of the cannon's chamber casing and slammed into the ground digging into it and locking it in place. Then on the left side of the main support beam a door going from the bottom of the beam to the top opened and a glass tube moved out and locked into place. The wall in front of Sam vanished and a walkway came out from the support beam and connected with the ground in front of Sam.
Sam: well let's go…
There was a loud roar outside the house and the two ran out to see what it was. There was a monster, it had arms like the Ruby weapon, large shoulders like the Diamond weapon, it had a core like the Ultimate weapon, wings like the Ultimate weapon, and a tail like the weapon Shinra killed in Junon with the cannon.
Sam: what the hell is that!
Tifa took out a sense materia and used it.
Tifa: The Oblivion Weapon.
Sam: ready?
Tifa: yep…
Sam and Tifa got into their fighting stance.
