Chapter 4: The Clone Graveyard

As Cloud started to climb up the cliff, Yuffie began to panic.

"Cloud, daddy will kill us!" She whined. Cloud turned to her and shook his head as he pulled her up.

"Only if he finds out and nobody here will tell him anyways." Yuffie grinned and began to walk beside her brother, Aeris on his other side. Reno was pulling himself up slowly as he gripped a ledge he shot a glare their way.

"Hey," He called as he took in deep breaths. The other three whirled around and Cloud couldn't help but smirk at Reno.

"Need a hand?" He teased. Reno's glare deepened.

"Not anymore but it would have been nice about five minutes ago!" He snapped as he rolled over the edge. Aeris looked around. The place was covered in sandy muck and there were tall pillars of rock surrounding the top of the mountain.

"This place is creepy." She stated. Cloud looked around, his eyes falling on a cave in one of the pillars at the top.

"Wonder if there's treasure up there." Yuffie said, following Cloud's gaze. Cloud smirked.

"Only one way to know. Come on let's go and check it out." Just as they took a step towards the pillar, Vincent appeared.

"The only checking out you will do is to check out of here! If King Zack finds us here…and not to mention Kadaj and his gang." Cloud laughed.

"Hey look, Vampire's scared." Yuffie sniggered as Vincent glared.

"I mean it! Everyone back to Midgar right now! It's too dangerous here!"

"Dangerous?" Cloud repeated. "Ha! I'm going to be a SOLDIER like my dad. I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha." However, Cloud didn't expect an echo of dark chuckling to reach his ears. He turned his head to see three silver-haired men leap from the pillar and surround the group. Instinctively, he held his arms out to protect Yuffie and Aeris as the trio surrounded them.

"Hmm and what have we here Yazoo?" One of them spoke.

"I dunno Kadaj." Yazoo replied. He looked a lot like Kadaj but with slightly shorter hair. "What do you think Loz?" He added sarcastically. The shortest haired one grinned and clicked his gun arm.

"I think we have trespassers." He answered. Kadaj smiled sinisterly.

"Just what I was thinking." He said. Cloud glared.

"You can't do anything to me. Yuffie and I are royalty." He spat. Kadaj raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so? Well what a shame that the kingdom shall lose two little brats." He sneered. His smiled faltered as Vincent held his gun to his head.

"You leave the children alone." He snarled. Yazoo laughed as he brought out his own gun and Kadaj unsheathed his sword.

"I don't like trespassers. This is our land."

"Well we're leaving now anyway." Vincent replied.

"Whoa wait." Kadaj cried. "We'd love you to stay here."

"Yeah," Yazoo added. "Our graveyard is... fit for royalty." Cloud wrinkled his nose at the joke. Loz laughed.

"I got one! Make a grave a King would be dead proud of." Kadaj and Yazoo were silent as they stared at their brother. Vincent took this time to guide the children away quietly.

"Shut up." Kadaj said eventually. Loz looked down while Yazoo rolled his eyes.

"Hey, they're escaping!" He cried pointing at the group. Kadaj whirled around just as the children and Vincent broke into a run. With a growl, he unsheathed his sword and gave chase. Yazoo readied his gun and Loz clicked the safety off his gun/laser arm. Vincent turned around and shot at the clones in order to give the children time to escape. Kadaj twirled his sword around so that the bullets hit off it. Loz disappeared and reappeared behind Vincent. Before he had time to react, Loz had whacked him on the back of the head, knocking him out. The clones left him and chased Cloud and the others to the edge where Loz did the same trick as before and appeared in front of him. Cloud gasped and the youngsters back into a wall as the clones surrounded them. Cloud looked around and saw some stones he grabbed a handful and threw them at the men. Kadaj laughed.

"Aww so cute." He said mockingly. "Come on, throw another one." Cloud glared and picked up another one but just as he was about to throw it, a huge boulder came crashing down, just missing Kadaj.

"What the…?"

Suddenly, Zack appeared, his buster sowrd pointing down and landed in the ground. He aimed a quick swipe at each of their feet which caused them to jump up to avoid it and come crashing down. Zack leapt up so that one foot held Kadaj down and the other held Loz while his sword pointed to Yazoo's throat who was in the middle.

"If you ever come near my children again!" Zack growled. Kadaj squirmed slightly.

"Your children?" He replied innocently. "God Yazoo you idiot! You could have said something earlier!" He directed at his brother. Yazoo's mouth fell open.

"Don't blame me. I didn't know! It's Loz's fault!"

"Silence!" Zack yelled, digging his feet and weapon into them. "I mean it. If I catch you even looking at them, I will cut you up and play football with your heads!" Kadaj gulped as Zack stepped off and removed his sword. Immediately, the clones took off and Zack sheathed his sword. Cloud and Yuffie ran up to him. Reno stayed behind awkwardly while Aeris went to help Vincent up as he regained consciousness.

"Dad?" Cloud said, noticing his father was unusually quiet.

"Whose idea was it?" He asked. Yuffie and Cloud looked at each other before Cloud lowered his eyes.

"Mine." He admitted.

"Cloud, I'm really disappointed in you."

"I know dad. I'm sorry. I didn't…"

"We're going home." Zack cut him off sharply. Vincent rubbed his head slightly before he followed the King. The four youngsters were behind him, all slightly depressed with their heads down. Aeris walked in line with Cloud.

"Well, I thought you were brave." She whispered. Cloud smiled slightly as they left. And nobody noticed Sephiroth peering over the pillars with an angry expression.
