Chapter 6

Vincent put on the sunglasses; he quickly checked all of the guns were firmly attached to his body. He pulled out two blasters and stocked them full with ammo.

"Ok keep going in that direction, the "S" is about 3 miles down that way." Cloud was directing Squall in the direction of a glowing "S" they'd picked up on the radar. "Alright Vincent, be careful just try and give us as much time as possible, sure wish I could help you."

"Yeah but there's little you could do with one arm…"

"What?"

"Nothing" He leapt out the doorway firing out towards the robot army marching towards him, he counted at least 40 max. He got up and flipped backwards to dodge a missile that missed past him and exploded. While turning around in the air he fired his blasters at the robots and fired. He knocked off the head off the robot that fired the missile and blasted off the legs of another who fell to the ground and was trampled over by the rest of the robots. Vincent crouched down and was about to fire again when a stray blast knocked one of the blasters out of his right hand. He winced and had to quickly roll to the side to avoid some sort of plasma blast. While rolling he brought out a grenade and pulled out the pin. When he came up he threw it at the robot force and quickly turned round the corner of the room that Cloud had the radar in. It was lucky he did as the blast created a huge explosion; Vincent could feel the heat of the blast on his cheek. The intensity of the blast caused the sunglasses to shatter. Vincent threw off the broken glasses and turned round to see a huge heap of smouldering machinery. He turned around to look at Ratchet's room. It seemed the explosion had wrecked the placed, he would have to apologise if he saw Ratchet again. He shook his head, not if he saw him, when he saw him. He walked down the corridor into a large docking bay to check there were no more robots. There was nothing there. He smiled and turned around to return to the secret room they had found when he heard a quiet whizzing sound. He looked around just in time to move his head to avoid a shuriken glowing a bright red aiming for him. In front of him were ten robots each with a large metal pole with glowing red ends. He pulled out a missile launcher and pulled the trigger, nothing happened. The gun was out of ammo. He threw it aside and pulled out the only weapons he had: The blaster that hadn't been knocked out of his hand and his long knife. He lunged towards the robots ready to fight.

"So what's so important about this "S"?" asked Rinoa, running after Squall. He didn't answer. "Squall?" He sighed and turned around to look at Rinoa.

"His name is Seymour. 10 years ago when I was only 6 he attacked the orphanarium I lived at. My parents died shortly after I was born. After that the people at the orphanarium were all I had for a family. And he burned the place to the ground. I know what that man is capable of, he destroyed my family then, and I won't let him destroy my family now." He turned around and ran off again in the direction of Seymour.

Vincent leaped over one of the ningabots and turned around blasting it in the back. The robot quickly turned around though and blocked the blast.

"They're smarter than I thought." Vincent thought to himself. Parrying a blow from a ningabot to his left. He ducked down to dodge a blow from another ningabot and lashed out with his legs knocking two of them to the ground. He keened forward and plunged his knife into one of them. There were a small amount of sparks flying off the robot and the normal green glow coming from the ningabot's eyes deactivated. Vincent quickly rolled backwards to avoid a blow from the other ningabot he had knocked down who had leapt back up. Vincent pushed down with his feet and leaped up into the air. Vincent turned around so he was facing the floor and fired down upon the robots. He managed to hit one of them who immediately exploded, the force knocking another two ningabots out the airlock. They were instantly destroyed by a passing spaceship that rammed into them. Vincent landed on the ground again looking at the remaining 6 ningabots. Two of them lunged forwards and Vincent casually flipped backwards to avoid them. Their weapons sunk into each other's bodies as Vincent had quickly moved out the way. They exploded leaving just 4 ningabots. They were getting anxious and making mistakes. Using this as an advantage Vincent ran towards a ningabot who held his weapon out hoping to spear Vincent. Vincent however lightly jumped over him sticking his knife into the ningabot's back. He deactivated and fell to the floor. The robots could see Vincent was winning. Vincent jumped forward and kicked one of the ningabots back onto another ningabot's spear. While the ningabot tried to shake his dead comrade of his spear, Vincent landed on top of him ripped the robots head off. Vincent turned around to face the last remaining ningabot who yelped, dropped his spear and jumped out the airlock. Vincent snorted and was about to leave when he heard someone cackling behind him. He turned around and saw a larger robot with deep red glowing eyes laughing.

"You certainly are a good opponent if you managed to beat my top of the line robots! Still, you're no match for the mighty Dr. Nefarious!" The robot jumped down from the raised platform he was standing on and drew out two long double-ended spears like that the ningabot's had. Dr. Nefarious twirled them around Vincent could see he was very skilled with the spears. He picked up the spear the last ningabot had dropped and moved his feet to a defensive position. This was going to be interesting.

Squall and Rinoa arrived panting at the entrance to a large cave.

"That's it. He's in there." Cloud said through the device Squall had attached to his belt. They ran in to find standing in front of them a large control panel, Yuna, Rikku, Tifa and Tidus trapped in a cage and in front of the girls was Ratchet holding his wrench out. Squall looked up to see floating above them all Seymour looking toward him.

"Well we've arrived at last have we?" Seymour was fingering a necklace round his neck with a picture of a lion's head. "It's been a long ten years."
