Chapter 21 Chocobo Run
After the incident, we had all got up to help rebuild parts of the town, and we were all done in three days with everyones help. Luckily, no one was killed, though a few serious burns. As a gift, the people offered us all the inventory half off, so everyone got upgraded. I even got a part for my arm that reduces loading time by half. Miss Miko had traded me Rikers old vest for a new one that could hold materia, so now riker didn't half to hold it in his mouth, but it only had two slots. It looked cool though, so it was all good. I bought a fire and cure, so healing could be done.
"I had something I wanted to tell you, but it can wait for a while." Cloud said as we got ready to leave.
"Does it have something to do with that Sephiroth character?" Barret asked.
"Cloud continued and we made our way out of a half destroied kalm. Riker was chasing down anything that looked etible. He even barbecued a mu, which is like a squirrel that lives in the ground. He looked like he wouldn't need feeding. The farm, from our point of view, looked like a dot, but slightly getting bigger. A few ostrich like monsters got in our way, but they didn't last long. Along the way, I had seen a chocobo, and it brought up memorys with my first encounter with one. I ran after it with Riker at my side.
"Ryan, what the hell are ya doin?" Barret asked as I sprint after the creature."
"Barret, I still got to know, who did someone like him group up with people like us, he'll just get in our way." Cloud asked.
Red interrupted, "The boy may not look it, but he holds great potential." Red quieted down stared at them for a moment.
"ACK!" The chocobo ran through the middle where they had been talking. Me holding onto the leg with Riker right behind.
"Then again..." Red started," He could just be really lucky." Meanwhile, Tifa and Aeris decided to sit down and enjoy the involentary show I was giving everyone.
"Do you think we would stand a chance if Sephiroth were to attack us right now?" Tifa asked Aeris, a little worried.
"These answers can only come in time, besides, we got the best team possible, so don't worry." Aeris said, cheering Tifa up a little.
Meanwhile...again, I had finally climbed onto the back of the bird. "SLOW DOWN, PLEASE!" I yelled as the bird was bobbing me up and down like a bull does to a rider. After a minute or two, it slowed down and it finally gave up and let me ride it. I have it walk over to the groups showing off.
"Ya know Ryan, you coulda just used some greens, I have some with me right here." Barret said. I just stare at him, and from the corner of my eye, I could have sworn I seen a tumbleweed.
"Could have told me that sooner." I hop of and let it go. "You know what, there are days where you people really suck, you know that.!" I walk off shooting at a mu, blowing it's head off. Hey, at least I know I can catch a chocobo without a lure, so on the inside, I feel good, like the wrapped in an electric blanket while sitting in front of an open fridge good.
