Chapter 5: Kings of Past and Future

There was only silence as the group trudged across the land against the setting sun. Cloud occasionally glanced up at his father but Zack made no sign of acknowledgement as he stormed ahead. Yuffie was looking down at the ground and seemed close to crying. She had never seen her father this angry before and she knew that Cloud was going to be in big trouble. Vincent was walking beside Zack and as he glanced back at the children, he felt a little sorry for them. Aeris and Reno were walking behind Yuffie and Cloud, not sure what they should do or whether they were going to get in trouble too. Suddenly Zack stopped which caused everyone else to halt.

"Vincent." He commanded.

"Yes Sire?"

"Make sure Aeris, Reno and Yuffie get home safely. I have to speak to Cloud alone." He barked. Immediately, Cloud took a step back and behind Yuffie. Yuffie looked at him sadly as Vincent approached.

"Come on you three." He addressed Reno, Aeris and Yuffie. He turned to Cloud and sighed before he led the others away.

"Cloud!" The Prince shut his eyes and turned his head to the ground at the angry tone in Zack's voice. He took a step towards him but stopped when he saw Zack's footprints in the ground. For a second he looked between Zack and the prints before he shook his head and made his way completely up to him and stood silently next to him. Zack took a breath before he looked down at his son, his arms folded.

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

"I know." Cloud said softly. He had never felt so guilty over something as he did now.

"You went against my rules! I told you never to go there and you still did! And what's worse is that you put Aeris, Reno and your sister in danger." Cloud looked up at him with round, sad eyes.

"I just wanted to be brave like you." He explained. Zack's expression softened slightly.

"Cloud, I'm only brave when I have to be. Being a SOLDIER and a King doesn't mean you have to be brave all the time. And being brave, doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."

"But you're not scared of anything." Cloud argued. Zack crouched down.

"I was today." He answered while looking at Cloud. Cloud looked puzzled.

"You were?" He asked. Zack nodded.

"I thought I might lose you and Yuffie. I don't know what I'd do if I lost my children."

"I guess…even SOLDIERS get scared huh." Zack smiled slightly as he nodded again. Cloud leaned closer.

"But you know what I think?" He whispered.

"What?"

"Those clones were more scared than you'll ever be." Zack laughed.

"Cause nobody messes with your dad!" He replied as he grabbed Cloud. Cloud giggled as he pushed Zack off of him and ran away. Zack immediately gave chase and grabbed Cloud around the waist, lifting and twirling him around. Cloud burst into giggles as they fell on the grass and gazed at the stars.

"Dad?" Zack looked at him to continue. "We're friends right?"

"Of course we are."

"And we'll always be together right?" For a moment, Zack remained silent as he stared at the sky.

"Cloud, let me tell you something. Do you see the stars?" Cloud nodded as he looked up. Zack smiled at the interest shining in his son's eyes as he continued.

"They are the eyes of the Great Royals of the Past watching over us."

"Really?"

"Yes. So whenever you feel alone, just remember, they'll always be there to guide you." Zack explained and looked at his son as Cloud turned and looked at him. "And so will I."

Yazoo groaned as he rubbed his head again.

"God I hate Zack. I'm going to have a lump on here for a month." Loz laughed which just angered Yazoo even more.

"Shut it Loz!" Loz just laughed harder. In a moment of fury, Yazoo leapt on his brother and they started wrestling. From his spot on a pillar, Kadaj rolled his eyes.

"Will you two quit it? No wonder nobody takes us seriously. Just think of the power we could have had over people if we had killed those two royal brats."

"I hate the royals." Yazoo said, folding his arms.

"They're so annoying."

"And perfectionists."

"And…"

"Surely the royals are not all that bad." A voice interrupted. The clones jumped back as a figure emerged. They relaxed when they saw it was Sephiroth.

"Oh it's you. Don't scare us like that." Yazoo snapped.

"Yeah we thought it was somebody important. You know, like Zack."

"I see." Sephiroth replied icily. Kadaj brushed his jacket and looked up at the taller man.

"So what brings you here?"

"I've come to tell you all to be prepared."

"For what?" Yazoo asked curiously. Sephiroth looked at the three clones with danger in his eyes.

"For the death of the King."
