Chapter
Ten - Still More Fighting
: Gaia - Wall Market :
"Uh..is
this is?" Beast Boy asked.
Several
people crowded the many stores in the self-proclaimed shopping
district of Midgar. Even though the stores had great bargains, the
real shopper would know to go to the black market.
A man in a
purple suit casually walked by Beast Boy with two girls under his
arms.
"You guys lookin' for some fun?"
"What kinda' fun?" Beast Boy asked.
The girls started giggling.
"No, we're not looking for that kind of fun! What's wrong with you man?" Cyborg yelled at Beast Boy.
The man quickly took the girls and left.
"What?" Beast Boy asked him.
Cyborg shook his head before walking into the weapons shop.
Inside the shop, mechanical saw could be heard behind a steel cage separating the customers from the owners. There was a small window where an attendant stood.
"You guys look kinda funny. Ya'll gots any gil?" he asked, leaning on the counter.
"Take cards?" he held up the card.
"Why yes we do! Come on over, what would you like sir?" his tone quickly changed.
"A man named Barret told me he came here a while ago and they crafted gun-arms. Is that true?" Cyborg asked.
"We do it, but it's usually a custom job. It'll cost extra."
"What! You gotta be..how much?" He asked.
"Including crafting fees...900 gil!" he laughed!
"Oh...ok." Cyborg said, handing him the card.
The man quickly looked disappointed when he saw the original balance on the card.
"Coincidentally, are ya'll familiar with mathematics?"
Cyborg folded his arms.
"Thought so." he sighed.
:
Gaia - Shinra HQ ( Training Room ) :
"Alright,
Raven. This time I won't hold back." Vincent called to Raven
from the other side of the room.
"I want to see what you can really do."
From Reeve's secret vault, Raven had gotten a Titan Bangle and several mastered Materia including mastered Gravity, Barrier , and a Phoenix Materia.
"You asked for it." Raves said, pulling up her hood.
'Why is this guy always testing me?' she thought as she lifted up into the air.
She saw him slowly pull out his pistol. As he aimed and fired, she slid her hand across the air, leaving a trail of energy behind creating a black barrier. The bullet slammed into it and the shield shattered. The bullet kept going, but at much slower. Raven managed to dodge it just in time.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
Raven summoned her powers, and shot a devastating beam towards Vincent. The room shook as it raced towards him and he slowly cast Reflect on himself just in time. The beam of dark energy slammed into Vincent's shield before bouncing back towards Raven.
"No!.."
She looked to the Materia in the bangle.
'Ok Raven..focus on the Materia...you can do it...' the huge blast of energy shot towards Raven, crushing the floor under it.
The green Barrier Materia glowed in the Bangle as Raven cast her own Reflect spell. The beam hit it hard before shifting back towards Vincent.
'What's this..?' He quirked an eyebrow.
A red Aura began to circle around Raven.
'Could this be her Limit?' Vincent thought.
Raven slowly floated in the air as the black beam neared Vincent's Reflect spell.
Red energy erupted from Raven's eyes."Necronom Hezberek Mortix!"
Dark energy began pouring from Raven's hands and the darkness began to cover the entire room. Vincent instantly transformed into Chaos and tried to fly away , but he was consumed by the blackness. When there was absolutely no light left, every thing flashed white and the room was returned to normal.
Vincent lie on the ground in his human form, and Raven was left panting on her hands and knees.
"That spell...how could I..?"
'This time I had control of it?' Raven thought, wondering how she had managed that.
The last time she used that spell she lost control and nearly killed a girl. This time she did, and Vincent was still alive.
"Vincent?" she slowly approached him.
He placed a hand against his head before slowly sitting up.
"That was quite..the impressive move. You have power, no doubt." he said.
"Thanks..I guess?"
Suddenly the wall quickly blasted inward and Plasmus was sent flying into the room, he landed on the ground with a splat and seemed to be dazed.
"Plasmus!" Raven looked shocked.
"You know this...abomination?" he asked.
"We're not exactly friends..."
Another person came flying through the wall, this time, a battered and bruised Robin.
"Ugh!" He landed hard next to Raven.
"Robin!" she quickly ran over to him.
"What's going on?"
Robin was left KO' d.
"Vincent, can you do something I've seen you're healing techniques before." she looked to him.
He reached into a pouch and produced a glowing red feather. Vincent tossed it over Robin and it began to burn with energy as it fell. Robin was covered with power and quickly sat up. Before he could move, Vincent cast a Cure 3 spell on him.
"Slade! He's here and..." he stared.
"What?" Raven asked.
"He's got Terra."
:
Gaia - Kalm Mountain Ruins :
"Yuffie!
Look! Down there." Tifa pointed to the Buster Sword laying over
a hole.
"Hey Star, ya mind lettin us down here?" Yuffie asked Starfire.
"If you wish." Starfire smiled before descending to the earth.
Comet watched them moving down. Not only was Red XIII on his back now, but he had to carry the woman in his arms.
"Now what is this about?" he complained as he started to land.
Tifa let go and fell to the ground grabbing the sword. Yuffie and Star landed next.
"You recognize this blade?" Starfire asked Tifa.
"Yeah..it's Cloud's.." Tifa gulped.
'Please..be alright...why would his sword be here? I thought he was at Bone Village last..?'
Comet, Nanaki and the woman landed behind them. Red XIII jumped onto the ground and Comet set the woman down.
"You guys stare here and protect her." Tifa said to Comet and Red XIII.
"Alright." Nanaki said.
"Yeah, yeah." Comet yawned leaning against a rock.
The girls all hopped into the hole one at a time, landing inside the deep cave. Starfire charged a Starbolt in her hand and held it up, using it as a light. The cave was empty, but there were several paw prints and boot prints in the soily ground.
"Follow the tracks, duh!" Yuffie said.
Cloud stood with a whole pack of walls surrounding him. Outnumbered by the dozens, the was already prepared for the worst. The little girl was up in a small crack where the wolves couldn't reach, but he had no idea what she would do if he...
'No..I have to win this fight..'
Cloud heaved with exhaustion.
"Bring it on!"
The wolves were hesitant to attack as Cloud had already destroyed at least 40 of them, without his sword, which meant no Limits, and no MP. One bold Fang darted forth, but Cloud turned to avoid the blow and countered with a sick scissors kick. That attack left Cloud vulnerable and another beast slammed into him, knocking into the nearby wall, creating a crater.
"Agh!"
The
wall shook, causing the little girl to tumble out of her little
corner. She rolled down the now slanted wall and fell directly into
Cloud's lap. The girl was sobbing softly.
'I..can't..move...'
Cloud struggled,but his muscles didn't respond.
Cloud's
head lowered and his hair covered his eyes. The little girl cried
into his chest as the wolves slowly began to close in, knowing they
had finally won.
Just before they began to claim their prize, Tifa
jumped overhead.
"Final Heaven! Ha!" She slammed her fist into the earth in the middle of the pack. The ground erupted with power, disintegrating all of the wolves instantly. She ran over to Cloud.
"Oh my god, Cloud!"
Tifa cast Life on Cloud and a powerful white aura covered his body.He slowly began to come around.
"Starfire, can you get him out of here?" Tifa turned to her.
"..yes. Of course." She said, before lifting Cloud. She flew him out of the cave, with the little girl still in his lap. She had actually fainted. Tifa and Yuffie followed on foot.
'Now we can figure out what's been going on here..' Tifa thought.
'If this is Cloud...then where is Terra?' Starfire wondered.
:
Gaia - Shinra HQ (Elevator):
"Alright,
B. B., which one is better?" Cyborg asked.
Cyborg opened up his right fist which shifted back into his regular bad-ass sonic cannon. He then held up his left hand which mechanically transformed into the Heavy Vulcan, a powerful automatic gun-arm complete with Materia Slots.
"Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?" He pointed them both at Beast Boy as a sweat drop went down his back.
"Never mind that, check out this cool sword I got!" Beast Boy held up the Nail-Bat, a simple Bat with nails driven through it.
"Uhh..it's a good thing I got you a weapon too. Here." Cyborg handing him the huge hard-edge sword.
Beast Boy took the handle and when Cyborg let go, the sword and Beast Boy instantly dropped to the ground.
"Aah!Dude, this thing weighs a ton! How the heck am I supposed to use this?"
The elevator bell ringed and the doors opened. Meltdown stood across the room in the distance, wrecking several walls. Many people were fleeing the scene and mobbed the elevator, literally throwing Beast Boy and Cyborg out.
"Well, now wouldn't be a good time to learn. Touch him once and the radiation could kill you! I'll take this guy."Cyborg smiled.
He fired a beam of sonic energy towards the hulked up Meltdown. The energy his the monster and pushed it back, but did no real damage. Meltdown emitted a counter beam made of Mako radiation that shot towards Cyborg who dived out of the way. B. B turned into a Pteradon to carry the heavy sword away and dodge the attack.
Cyborg fired several rounds from the automatic weapon. The bullets shot through Meltdown, creating several holes in him that slowly began to heal.
"It's not working!" Beast Boy yelled
"I got it!" Cyborg said.
He fired more rounds into Meltdown, but directly at the center. This created a large hole. Cyborg quickly followed up with a constant beam of sonic energy that shot through the hole and kept it from closing. Cyborg swiped the beam up once then down, severing Meltdown. He shortly exploded. The monster's remains turned red before fading away.
"Boo-yah! Told ya I had him!" Cyborg said.
"Yeah, but what about me?" A large chuck of rock quickly shot forth slamming Cyborg into the wall.
"Augh!" Cyborg was temporarily KO' d.
Beast Boy's eyes went wide as he stepped back.
"No..it can't be..." He said.
"Surprised to see me..." Terra slowly descended before Beast Boy on a rock. Rocks quickly shot up around her as her eyes turned yellow.
"Terra..what are you doing?" Beast Boy asked.
She held up one finger. She slowly twirled it around and the rocks were suddenly being sharpened, like pencils. The now jagged spears suddenly pointed downwards towards Beast Boy.
"Whatever the f$# I want." Terra grinned as she quickly clenched her fist shut, causing the rocks to all rain down upon Beast Boy.
