Chapter 3: Hello Chocobo

One would say that you can't judge a book by it's cover, but in this case you could, because in the crossfire of Zack's and Cloud's eyes, there was something that was happening. Zack knew that this kid, would be the future. There was something about him, something that Zack just couldn't put his finger on. Zack then looked back at Sephiroth who got up from leaning against the fence and walked through the door motioning the others to follow. Cloud stepped in, Zack stood still thinking and then walked in with his hands in his pockets casually. Zack watched as Sephiroth approached a table lit up by the window above it, three long broadswords laying down. Sephiroth lifted up one and lodged it on his back.

(Z): "And...what the hell is this."

Without hesitation Sephiroth answered handing one of the weapons to Cloud.

(S): "Manditory SOLDIER weapons."

(Z): "And how the hell do we use this"

Zack walked up to the table and lifted up the broadsword, he then swung it back at forword in front of him.

(Z): "Eh..."

(S): "Don't like it? Too bad."

Cloud barely lifted up the large broadsword holding it up in front of him. Zack peeked back at Cloud and almost laughed.

(Z): "How are you going to use that thing, big guy?"

(S): "Shut it Zack."

Zack cracked up with his hands still in his pockets, the weapon now lodged on his back. The three walked out of the building and looked to the left, an old dusty parking lot with three motercycles were in front of them. Zack ran into the parking lot and hopping over the first motorcycle sitting on the middle one. He stared closely onto the steering wheel banging it.

(Z): "What a piece of junk!"

Sephiroth stood behind Zack running up to the left motercycle, Cloud slowly walking sitting up on the right one, already starting it up.

(C): "So...Zack, Sephiroth...Where exactly are we headed."

(S): "A farm, north of Midgar. Recent attackings have been going on there, we are getting rid of the cause."

The three then pulled out of the parking lot riding through the streets heading towards the exit of Midgar.

(Z): "Farm, ey?"

(S): "Yeah, that's right. A farm. Now shut up."

Zack laughed at Sephiroth as he began to get on his nerves. They rode out of Midgar as Cloud began to ride forword, the group rode through the dirty path untill they arrived at a grassy area. Up ahead a farmhouse was visable, the group continued to ride where they spotted dead creatures along the path. They rode up to an entrance of a small pen yard. The three got off the bikes, the sun shining hard down. Sephiroth walked forword searching for the owner. Zack took his time to get off and looked out into the yard, large yellow creatures ran around the area.

(Z): "What...the hell is that...?"

(C): "What? You mean the Chocobo's? Funny things aren't they?"

(Z): "Choco-what!"

Zack then walked forword following Sephiroth through the tall grass, his weapon began to annoy him wearing him down. Zack entered the house where Sephiroth had already talked to the farmer, they both nodded and Sephiroth walked back at Zack and Cloud.

(S): "Ok heres the deal, were going to ride on the Chocoboes and use them as bait to lure the creature."

(Z): "Your kidding. Right?"

Sephiroth and Cloud didn't answer as they walked back to the ranch and got up on the Chocobos.

(Z) "You can't really expect me to ride on...that..."

A Chocobo jumped over the fence of the ranch and ran at Zack knocking him onto the floor. Sephiroth and Cloud chuckled as Zack got up dusting himself off.

(Z): "Yeah...real funny"

Zack looked back to see the Chocobo standing still, Zack ran at it and hopped on its back. He took a deep sigh and looked at Sephiroth and Cloud.

(S): "Good. now the let's scout the area."

(Z): "So...umm...how fast do these things go anyway?"

Zack was then yanked forword by the Chocobo rampaging through the planes as Sephiroth and Cloud attempted to catch up. About a few meters forword a large rumble came from the ground, Cloud and Sephiroth not far back, a large dust cloud came from behind them both as tentacle gashed forword from the dust cloud stabbing at Cloud. He was immediately knocked off his Chocobo.

(S): "CLOUD!"

(Z): "CLOUD!"

They both drew there Broadswords as they hoped off there Chocobo's.
