"Did you heard it" Aerise ask them.

"Loud and clear" Sephiroth nodded.

"Let's find out" Zack went to find where the voice had been heard.

The voice they had been heard was the voice of a young boy, a SWORDIAN with wild blond hair and saphire blue eyes. He was in a great trouble. He got his leg trapped by Hydra (a monster who looks like a rock with tentacles) with munaks and boguns around him, attacking him.

"Go away!" The blonde screams and slashing his sword from one side to another side. "Let me go" he screams again.

"Hang on little one!" He heard someone shouting at him. And then, there was Zack, with his sword, slashing every monster that try to hit the boy as he move closer.

"Don't come! You'll get trapped" He tells Zack.

"Don't worry about it!" Zack turn and struck the Hydra. Then, Sephiroth come and kill the monster that trapped the boy's leg with his thunder bolt. The boy fainted. Aeris catch the boy and heal the boy's injury.

"How's the boy?" Sephiroth asked the brunnete girl.

"His wound is pretty bad. I think we should get out from here" Aeris declared.

"I think that's a good idea" Zack slowly pushed Aeris who carried the blonde boy while he slowly backed of together with Sephiroth.

"Aeris" Zack gives her sign. She nodded.

"Warp Portal" Aeris made light portal. It makes them easy to get back to Payon.

"Ung…" The blonde groaned.

""Oh…You're awake" Sephiroth greed him with a smile. Zack and Aeris came near the blonde's bed.

"…where am i…who are you guys?" He asked them

"We're saved you from the monsters" Zack told him.

"Yeah…you almost got killed" Sephiroth demand

"Thank's for all of your help" he smiled weakly.

"What's your name? And how can you got trapped by them?" Aeris asked

"Um…I was careless back then. By the way, I'm CLOUD STRIFE" The blonde swordian introduce himself.

"Hello Cloud..." Sephiroth smiled at him.

"Who are you...sir?" Cloud asked the silver haired man.

"I'm Sephiroth" The silver haired man introduced himself. "That's my friend Aeris" He pointed the brunnete girl. "And this is Zack" He pointed the black haired guy.

"Nice to meet all of you" Cloud tried to stand up, Sephiroth pushed him back.

"Your injuries haven't recover yet. Please stay" He brushed the blonde's hair.

"I know...but i don't want to make her worried" Cloud told him.

"Who?" Sephiroth asked him.

Then, they heard some noises. After that, a young girl, an ACOLYTE, with long dark haired kick the door opened.

"CLOUD!I FOUND YOU AT LAST!" She shouted at Cloud.

"Um hai..." Cloud looked nervous.

"Who is that amazonic girl?" Sephiroth asked Cloud.

"Um...my childhood friend...TIFA LOCKHART" Cloud tell the silver haired man.

Suddenly, there was a flail flew and hit Sephiroth head directly. Sending the man into unconsiousness. Zack who tried to calm Tifa, got a hard kick in stomach. Zack fainted after that.

"Now little lady" Tifa said mockly at Aeris. "I was already knock out your team mates. Let him go" She continued as she pointed at Cloud.

"There's a missunderstanding" Aeris softly talked to raven haired girl.

'Huh?" Tifa semm doesn't understand.

"Tifa...they saved me" Cloud demanded firmly.
