Chapter 3: Darkened.
"So you found Orin of the way out here did you Loz?" asked Kadaj. "Did he follow you?" he said looking over at Loz with a very angry look.
"He didn't follow me I think." said Loz moving towards Kadaj.
"You are pitiful. Stand guard and wait for Cloud." said Kadaj moving off to the small pond that was glowing a bright crystal color.
"What makes you sure he will come." said Loz putting his hands together.
"What the fuck you dumb shit why do you think I made you kidnap her." said Kadaj turning around and slamming his fist into the chest of Loz forcing his body to crash into a tree. "Now do as I said or I will make sure that you don't get up next time." said Kadaj turning around and walking off.
Loz stumbled up off of his feet and slapped the dirt off of his back. "Why has he been such a hard ass lately." he thought. Loz continued to stand there looking at the back of Kadaj. He walked off towards the place he wanted guarded.
Meanwhile Orin was still standing there waiting for something to show he was not dreaming or dead. Finally that thing came and it came shooting by quicker than a bullet. "Cloud?" he thought as he unclinched his body and moved. "He's going to do something stupid." thought Orin as he knew what Cloud was going after. "I'll go get some help." he said out loud to himself as he jumped up to the cliff . Where he first realized that all hell was breaking loose. "Just how do I plan to get a hold of anyone." he thought. From out of the distance a small shimmer of sound could be heard. "Thank god." he thought as he walked over to the sound and dusted it off. He picked up the phone and opened it. "Hello."... he said listening for a reply. From the other side of the phone was silence and a dead sound. He closed the phone and looked up and opened it again a pressed the number for Vincent Valentine. "Vincent we need you help. Cloud is doing something that might get him killed." he said and then hung up.
Vincent was standing in a small room and kneeled to the floor. "Good why does he also have to do something stupid." he looked up and seen the sun was gone and knew it was time to step into action. He stepped out into the darkness and slipped off into oblivion. Only a matter of moments later did Vincent arrive at the scene where Orin was standing to see a cloud of smoke. "Should have known you would set the desert on fire." said Vincent appearing from a large floating dart.
"Vincent what a surprise I thought you would never show up." said Orin looking up to see Vincent appearing and looking back down at the flames. "He's in the forest looking for the children." he smirked looking deeper into the flames.
"Well you said that on the phone." said Vincent kneeling next to Orin.
"There's more he seems to be in a bind. You must hurry he has very limited time before they strike him down." said Orin almost throwing Vincent to the forest in the spite of Clouds new battle. "May the gods have mercy on his soul." said Orin watching Vincent dash off. Orin turned around and looked at the ground seeing a large rifle left on the ground. "Vincent you know my style." he grinned. Orin picked up the rifle and ran off into the night.
Kadaj was standing there looking out into the water of the small pond where the children where drinking to that his plan had worked to make the children even sicker. Suddenly his phone rang.
"I think it's time to finish the construction and destroy the rest of the people." said a mysterious voice that suddenly jolted and was gone.
Kadaj turned around looking away from the water and seeing out to the ancient forests. "This might all just work. I will have my half back and I will rule the world just as mother did." he screamed falling to the ground and laughing hysterically. From the left a faint motor nosie could be heard. "It's time everyone into position." said Kadaj jumping into the air and landing right in front of Loz and Yazoo. "Brothers it's time that we end this little boys run." Kadaj said with a small smile on that cold face.
"Brother what is we fail in this mission." said Yazoo looking over in a emotionless manner.
"There is no failing at this point. Brother." said Kadaj looking straight into the eyes of Clouds. Clouds eyes narrowed as he pulled the sword from his side packets on his bike. Cloud slipped throwing himself off of the bike. The bike slide forward dashing harshfully into the ground. Kadaj was straight in the path and moments before the bike slammed into the body of Kadaj he jumped landing directly in front of Cloud who had rolled several feet and dropped his sword. As the bike continued to push towards Loz he pushed his foot out stopping it. Kadaj was standing right over the top of Cloud with the children behind him with sword in hand. "You came as expected." said Kadaj looking at Cloud in a curious manner.
"I came to pick up the Children." cloud said looking Kadaj dead in the eye.
Kadaj marched to the right of Cloud murmuring that "This person is our brother." he said still marching around Cloud "But.." said Kadaj. All Cloud could do was watch from the cold hard ground. Unfortunately..." he said looking over Cloud and pushing his double bladed sword almost onto the neck of Cloud. "He's a traitor." Kadaj drew back his hand readying to slice Cloud into pieces.
"Cloud." said the faint and formerly voice of Marlene.
At about this time Cloud crawled and sprang up from the ground with his sword in hand. He slashed a Kadaj who had just jumped landing only a few feet away. Kadaj had also ran right back up to cloud and slammed his sword into his foes sword. Yazoo was now shooting at Cloud to drag his attention away from Kadaj. Loz was also running right to Cloud flying though the air like the wind. Kadaj jumped and landed safely behind a set of trees. Cloud dipped his sword very quickly dodging several bullets from yazoo. He bent his body to the left and was nearly hit by Loz was now behind him. Cloud spun his sword in his hand and stopped it just as Loz was going to kick him. Loz moved in for the punch as Cloud pulled back and swung is sword. Loz jumped up nearly being hit on the foot by the sword. Loz landed right back on the ground and kicked Cloud sending him back several feet. Cloud flipped in midair and slammed to the ground sliding back. Loz smirked with the pitiful grin Cloud jumped up and threw himself at Loz. Loz pulled back nearly the same time Clouds sword slammed into the ground at the same time Loz reached up kicking Cloud in the chest which caused him to slide to the ground and lose grip of his sword. He looked up seeing Yazoo in mid air. Only seconds later Yazoo slammed into the sword of Clouds which was in Clouds hand. Yazoo landed and began shooting at Cloud. Cloud was at such a close range that the bullets that hit the sword sent him sliding further away. He flipped up and over picking up his other sword and jumped to Yazoo and swung. Missing each time. Yazoo jumped into the air. Loz was now readying to split the ground it half. He slammed his fist into the ground sending a wave of dirt flying at Cloud and Yazoo. Yazoo smirked and stood there until it was almost to late just before the Dust hit him he jumped and back flipped while shooting at Cloud to a ledge where Loz was. Cloud thought for just a moment and Threw a super charged sword right and the Cloud. When the two collided the dust was rippled in a massive explosion. As the cloud dissipated Loz executed an uppercut sending Cloud back. Yazoo landed on the fists of Loz and pushed off shooting again at Cloud. Yazoo was now swinging at Cloud and missing every time. Every so often Loz was come in with and upper cut or a punch. Cloud finally kicked Loz away and sent him flying back. As Loz was flying backwards Yazoo was running to Cloud. Yazoo pulled another Velvet Nightmare off of Loz and slammed into the two swords of Cloud. Loz came from behind disappeared after trying to kick Cloud in the back. Which had been a success. Loz appeared a few meters away from the two. Yazoo jumped into the air landing on the arm of his brother and pushed himself up into the air. Yazoo opened fire at Cloud only to see the brigade for bullets be shunned away. Yazoo aimed and shot. The bullet slammed into the handle of Clouds smaller sword which forced it to fall from his grip. The sword slipped and slammed into a tree. Cloud moved quickly landing on a tree branch on a few feet away from his sword. He quickly ran over on the branches and jumped onto the sword itself. As he looked down he saw Loz laughing at the base of the tree. Loz pulled back his fist and punched the tree breaking it into pieces. Yazoo was now running down and shooting at Cloud. Cloud pulled his sword in his right hand and twisted it to block the bullets. As the tree slipped to the ground he pulled the sword out. Loz jumped up at broke the tree into pieces. Cloud jumped spinning breaking the tree into smaller pieces. Cloud was still spinning around and dodging kicks and punches from Loz and Yazoo. When the three where at the peak of there jump they broke apart. Cloud was again being shot at from Yazoo. Cloud pulled back landing on a tree he looked down and almost straight ahead seeing Kadaj smirking. Cloud pushed himself straight to Kadaj. Kadaj swung his sword almost hitting Cloud but being deflected at the same time. Kadaj pushed cloud back onto the ground and began to swing. At that moment Vincent dropped from the Sky sending Kadaj away from Cloud. Kadaj was pushed back in a hurl. Kadaj caught his balance and flipped to the ground. Vincent dashed around Kadaj and Cloaked Cloud in the cape. As he did this Vincent opened fire on the three brothers. They all found a way to dodge the bullets. As Loz moved in to punch Vincent the two disappeared. As Kadaj stood there watching the two take off he choked for a moment on his anger.
Vincent landed at the home of Clouds and stood for a second catching his breathe. "Now I must go get Orin."
Orin was in position and laying flat on the ground waiting for the three and the trucks to come out of the forest. "Wait for it." he thought as he began to see the motion of two motor cycles and three trucks. Orin looked around and pushed his eye into the scope and pulled back on the trigger throwing a bullet straight at the tire of the lead motorcycle. The bullet some how slammed tot he ground only inches away. Orin looked in shock and thought "Damn it."
Kadaj looked over a seen the faint glimmer of reflect from the scope. "Take him to the tower." as he singled everyone to halt. Loz and Yazoo jumped off there bikes and quietly ran to Orin was laying still flat on the ground.
"It looks as though you get to meet some of our new brothers." said Yazoo as he grabbed Orin by the shoulder. Yazoo pushed Orin to the back of the truck and pushed him in with a the children.
Vincent was not far ahead. He was seeing the trucks go under him but not knowing that Orin was with them. He landed on the ground where Orin had been only a few moments ago. He walked over to a small scope that was on the ground. "Great now they have him." Vincent looked up over the horizon and smirked.
