Final Fantasy VII

Cloud's Mission

Chapter One

Vincent Valenine sat silently on top of the highest cliff of the tallest mountain. It was dark and the only light Vincent could see was the giant moon that he couldn't help but stare at. Vincent sighed as he leaned against a rock. His phone then rang...Vincent sighed. He had been forced to buy the phone of Cloud.

'Hello...' Vincent slowly said. There was a silence, then the person hung up. Vincent groaned...he then threw the phone away. Vincent then stood up and left the cliffs.

--------------------------------------------------------

Vincent walked into the Seventh Heaven bar. He expected to see Cloud jump out and greet him by asking him to buy another phone. But the bar was empty...

'Cloud?' Vincent slowly called. 'Tifa?' Vincent looked around the bar. No one was there. Vincent shrugged and then walked out of the bar.

--------------------------------------------------------

Vincent walked slowly through the streets. He was ready to go back to his life of solitude when he heared a familar voice calling him.

'Vincent!' the voice cried. Vincent turned around to see Yuffie running at him.

'Yuffie...' Vincent greeted her. Yuffie looked at Vincent's emotionless face.

'Have you not heared?' Yuffie asked him.

'Heared what?' Vincent asked her. Yuffie shook her head.

'Why don't you answer your phone?' Yuffie moaned. Vincent stared at her.

'I did...no one answered so I threw it away,' Vincent coldly replied.

'You mean...you had one prank call...so you threw away your incredibly expensive phone?' Yuffie questioned him. There was a long awkward before Vincent changed the subject.

'What is the news?' Vincent asked

'Cloud got into a motorbike accident...' Yuffie cried. Vincent's face was expressioness but he was worried inside.

'Is he okay?' Vincent asked. Yuffie nodded.

'He should be okay,' Yuffie replied. 'But he's pretty banged up...he can't walk yet...he wants you...'

'What does he want me for?' Vincent wondered. Yuffie shrugged.

'Everyone else has been...why wouldn't he want you?' Yuffie asked. Vincent nodded.

'I will go see him...' Vincent replied and slowly walked away. Yuffie shook her head.

'Oh Vincent Valentine, why wont you open up?' Yuffie pleaded quietly as Vincent left her.

------------------------------------------------------

Vincent slowly walked into the Hospital room. Tifa sat next to Cloud as he lay in bed, with his foot in a cast.

'Cloud, look who's here,' Tifa smiled. Cloud grinned.

'Vincent,' Cloud smiled.

'I'll leave you two to it,' Tifa said and left. Vincent sat beside Cloud.

'How are you feeling?' Vincent asked awkwardly.

'Absolutely terrible,' Cloud sighed. Vincent awkwardly nodded.

'Oh...'

'Vincent...I didn't specifically ask for you so I could show you my scar...' Cloud began. 'I need you..' Vincent looked at Cloud confused.

'Need me?' Vincent asked. Cloud nodded.

'Vincent...before my accident..' Cloud began. 'I heared rumours...'

'What kind of rumours?' Vincent asked him. Cloud gave a deep sigh.

'One of my customers was dead...' Cloud began. 'I went to his house to deliver a phone...I found him dead...he had been stabbed...'

'That's tragic,' Vincent said coldly.

'The rumours were a Silver haired man killed him...' Cloud cried. Vincent sat stunned.

'If it were Sephiroth...' Vincent began. 'Why would he kill this man for no reason...'

'This wasn't just any man...' Cloud muttered. 'He was chief proffessor in the cloning industry in Nibelhelm...'

'Why would anyone clone Sephiroth?' Vincent thought. Cloud shrugged.

'I don't know Vincent,' Cloud sighed. But I did a little more research and found out this silver haired man carried an exceptionally long sword...sound familiar?'

'What can I do?' Vincent asked.

'I need to find out where that man is,' Cloud told him. 'We need to know whether this is Sephiroth...'

'And if it is?' Vincent asked. Cloud could not think of any words.

'We...must..be ready,' Cloud sighed.

'I can not defeat him Cloud,' Vincent told Cloud. 'If that is what you're expecting of me...' Cloud looked to the roof.

'I can't Vincent...' Cloud cried. 'I'm injured...you're the greatest gun man I've seen in battle...you've got a better chance than anyone else..'

'What would you have me do?' Vincent asked.

'I was on my way to Nibelhelm when the crash happened...' Cloud said. 'I was going to research what exactly that professor was doing...'

'You want me to do that alone?' Vincent asked.

'No..' Cloud said. 'You will need Cid and the Sierra for one...and get someone else from AVALANCHE...' Cloud looked worried at who Vincent would choose.

'Don't worry, I wont ask Tifa,' Vincent assured him.

'Thanks..' Cloud smiled. 'Good luck Vincent.'

-------------------------------------------------------

Vincent left the hospital as Tifa was waiting.

'Vincent,' Tifa asked. 'What did Cloud need to speak to you about?'

'Nothing important Tifa,' Vincent assured her.

'Are you sure?' Tifa looked worried. Vincent gave a feint smile.

'I'm sure,' Vincent nodded. Tifa smiled. 'Cloud is waiting...' Tifa nodded and left to see Cloud.

--------------------------------------------------------

'So Vinny,' Cid said on board the Sierra. 'Who's the third guy?'

'I was thinking Cait Sith...maybe Barret...Red would be good,' Vincent thought.

'Hey!' Yuffie yelled as she dropped from the ship's roof. 'You mention everyone but me!' Vincent nodded.

'That's because everyone is better than you,' Vincent said coldly.

'Nuh huh,' Yuffie said bitterly. 'That's it, I'm going to have to come now just to prove you wrong...' Yuffie then sat firmly in a chair.

'Cid...' Vincent asked. 'Is that the ejector seat?' Yuffie quickly hopped up.

'Do you hate me Vincent?' Yuffie cried. Vincent paused for a moment.

'...No...' he slowly replied.

'Well prove it to me...let me come...' Yuffie pleaded.

'A chick could be handy,' Cid noted. After a long pause.

'Okay,' Vincent said. 'But if you change your mind...'

'I wont..' Yuffie smiled. 'I'll feel safe as long as I have you by my side...' Suddenly there was a long silence and Yuffie could've sworn even the engines stopped. She quickly ran out of the room.

'Chicks..' Cid shook his head. Vincent sat down.

'To Nibelhelm...' Vincent said as Cid started driving. 'I think I'm going to regret letting her come,' Vincent sighed as he looked at the door Yuffie had ran out of...
