So Close
All Standard Disclaimers Apply: I don't own the story plot of this incredible movie I stole my idea from, So Close, or the characters from Final Fantasy VII. If I did then the whole movie/video game would have NEVER been finished due to my procrastination problem.
A/N: Many people asked where Cloud resided at. Well to answer that is that I can't, but just know that he is probably in his apartment waiting for Tifa. And Cid, hehe, he's probably taking a smoke, or maybe he was defeated! O.O All will be clear in this final chapter… final chapter? Hehe, read up… and well, enjoy!
Chapter 15: The Resolution
"Are you finished yet?" Vincent coolly questioned. The tall, bald headed man frowned in displeasure and kicked the dark man yet again, only to get it blocked for the millionth time. No matter how much speed and power Rude placed into his kicks, the rookie cop always foresaw and evaded them with such ease.
Rude did not answer.
More kicks were thrown, more punches. Rude was not a regular kind of boxer, he was the best, and that is how he had advanced so quickly from rookie to Turk. But with the rookie cop evading his attacks so easily Rude became even more furious and angrier. Though Rude was not one to lose his temper easily, due to the constant hanging about with his partner Reno, he found himself easily affected by Vincent.
Block after block, Vincent was tiring of boredom already. He had to end this quickly, for times sake, or was it for something more? Reeve watched intently as the two fought, they were as fast as lightning and graceful as the calm waters. The fight had only started and yet he could see that Rude was a little lacking in the energy department. Reeve never believed in unfairness, but in some occasions there had to be exceptions.
Reeve, still on the sidelines, brought out his gun and aimed.
"There," Rude stated, he then pulled the trigger.
-------
Yuffie studied the room as diligently as she could. She knew she was not alone. The dreadful memory of Tifa's dead body flashed in her head making Yuffie grit her teeth.
"Sephiroth!"
((He killed her with his cursed sword, I know it's him)) Yuffie thought looking around the room.
"You come here alone, seeking vengeance knowing very well where your destiny lies--" A dark voice emitted.
It was from behind Yuffie. The short haired princess sharply turned around to see nothing. Shivering from the fact that she still felt his warm, yet cold breath make contact with her skin, Yuffie growled.
"--in my sword," He finished.
Yuffie then sensed him from beside her and jumped out of the way as a soundless swing was swung. But having a five foot long sword can have its advantage, just not for Yuffie.
"AHH!" She yelled. The sword collided with her stomach and cut deep. Yuffie rolled onto the Wutainese type flooring and glared up at the calm man. "You--you murderer!" She spat.
The platinum haired man did not reply. He walked forward leisurely and brought his bloodied sword up again. Yuffie remembered that look; it was a look of absolution. Someone was going to die today. "And it's not going to be me," Yuffie whispered, trembling slightly at the fire-like pain from around her abominable area.
"Yuffie, pack your things we're leaving," A hurried voice yelled.
"Yuffie! Now! The ship's ready, we need to go," The same voice.
Papa.
"Lets go Yuffie, no time for delay," A soft voice. "We've lost."
We lost? Lost what?
Fire. It's everywhere. The fire and the smell of burning flesh. It was war, and it was lost.
"Hurry!" More Panic.
Taking off her jacket, Yuffie quickly tied it around her freely flowing wound and tied it tightly. The blood should stop soon, but the real problem was that the silver haired man was in the way of her getting any sort of weapon. He the swung again, his long sword still not making any sound. Yuffie dodged it this time, but barely. All the shurikens and long distant weapons were behind the man dressed in black, which were the only thing Yuffie was good at, but she knew there had to be something else out there.
Swords. A big pile of them in fact, all of them neatly placed on top of one another in a great big sword holder. Then again, the sword Sephiroth carried was much longer and could reach the ninja before she even had the chance to run and retrieve any weapon.
She needed a decoy, something to—
Another slash followed closely by another. His calm poise irritated her as she dodged for her life. How could he act so calm, it was almost… revolting? The short haired teenager growled yet again. By the time morning hits, she would have gotten nowhere. It was time to step it up. Ignoring her pain from her stomach the ninja jumped high into the air and over the man's head. Big mistake.
Sephiroth slowly smirked and swung his sword upward. Yuffie cringed and flew strait into the ground, the pain felt like lava pouring onto her raw wounds, which didn't help Yuffie's case at all.
"I'm getting no where!" She yelled forgetting her poise.
"Then give up, be weak like your sister was… not even worth the name of an Angel,"
Beside her.
((How…)) She had no time to comprehend for the demon had swung his sword again.
"AH!"
Then there was silence.
-------
Rude was easily discarded. Vincent may have been a rookie, but he was no small fry. Reeve on the other hand was basically a coward as he hid while Rude took the hit. The dark haired man scanned the room for Reeve but it was to no avail.
"I'm not a coward," Reeve stated from behind Vincent almost as if reading his mind. Vincent reacted on impulse and brought his golden arm up, followed by a smack to the older man behind him. Reeve was taken aback and the jumped back again into the darkness of the poorly lighted sanctum. Following the man, Vincent brought his arm up again and punch, yet again hitting him dead in the face. "Uh," Was his reply.
"Sorry it had to end this way,"
They both then ran to the middle of the room and fought again. This time there was no where to hide. A few more unavoidable hits, Reeve became unconscious. Vincent looked down at his former higher power and then walked away.
-------
Yuffie was cornered. Every move she made couldn't match up to the speed and power, and length of the great general's sword. Lifting her flap from her pouch up, she felt that she had no more hidden weapons. They were all upfront of her, and same Sephiroth.
"Tifa,"
Yuffie coughed. She smiled brightly and looked up to her reaper. His eyes, they were the same as a certain spikey-headed jerk she knew all too well. ((I wonder if… if the news about Tifa has gotten to him yet. It would be heartbreaking, because I know I'm heart broken. That bastard, who was the guy who slit her throat, was standing in front of her. Being Yuffie Kisaragi, you also have a backup plan, but with an obstacle like Sephiroth, the only backup plan was there was to run away or be killed. More like if there was a spot for her in heaven. Yuffie couldn't do either of those.
Glaring up at the man now, she watched how his sickly pale features changed from dissatisfaction to pleasure. It must be the blood, crazy people are always turned on by blood all over their victims.
((Victim? I'm NOT going to die here! NO! No one's gonna speak about me in the past tense, nu-uh!)) Yuffie decided in her head, more like yelled.
"Oh! Look! A spikey yellow chocobo!" Yuffie yelled pointing. Sephiroth blinked in confusion but then shook it off. Yuffie then blinked out of her illusion on actually seeing a yellow chocobo, but then again. It was no illusion. Sephiroth slashed his sword again, but it did not impale her.
"SPIKEY!" Yuffie yelled. As she saw, it wasn't exactly a yellow chocobo, but close enough. It was Cloud Strife.
"Sephiroth!" He yelled after appearing upfront of the bloodied ninja. With a bright smile, Yuffie jumped up and tightened her jacket. With her new determination, and her new buddy to help her out, she knew she could win this.
Both of their swords released from each other's grasp and the sword wielders jumped back. Running towards the weapon rack, Yuffie stuffed her pockets with the flawless weapons she saw before and grinned.
"Oh yeah, Yuffie Kisaragi is back! Ready to kick some as—s…"
The ninja then passed out.
Unnoticed by the two sword wielders, Yuffie lain flat on her face, and thankfully, out of the two fighters way.
"When did you come back? You died. I was there to witness it,"
"You witnessed what I wanted you to witness," Sephiroth replied with calamity in his voice.
"The Wutai war ended because of your death, sure, Wutai was ours in the end, but still you died!" Cloud yelled. "And then you returned. I only thought those were rumors," His last words only but a whisper.
"I never left,"
"That's not the point! You returned and burnt my village!"
"Hn. I had a debt to pay there,"
"Tifa… and now, you killed her," Cloud whispered. After he uttered those words, the whole room became silent. After a few seconds of unbearable silence, soft laughter emerged from Sephiroth's pale lips.
"The Angel? She was so young when I first met her," He smirked.
"First?" Cloud glared. He didn't want to speak anymore. He drew his sword up again and charged. Their swords met again and again. They weren't a match per say, but still they both fought as if they were evenly matched.
"She was quite the young woman," Sephiroth commented, whispering in Cloud's ear. They then separated again. "Right before I slashed right through her, she vowed to kill me. I spared her once,"
Cloud angered again and slashed at Sephiroth again. Sephiroth evaded the attack and stepped to the side. As Cloud tried to recovered, Sephiorth brought his sword up quickly and sliced.
Cloud was not cut or injured. Looking up he saw another sword block Sephiroth's sword.
"Sephiroth, a creation of Hojo," Vincent spoke as he pushed Sephiroth off from his sword. Sephiroth jumped back lightly and lightly glared.
"A creation?" Cloud coughed regaining his composure.
"Yes. He is not Hojo's son, but a clone. He was born fully mature, not like an infant as you and I were,"
"…"
"Born with powers, born with irregular strength and abilities," Vincent continued. "Nibelheim was where Hojo's current laboratory was,"
"You killed those people to get to Hojo?" Cloud asked dangerously.
"No. You will never understand," Sephiroth smirked. Vincent brought his newly acquired sword back to him and readied himself to attack. Cloud followed. It was a two-on-one, but then again the odds were even. Vincent closed in on the silver haired warrior first followed by Cloud. Sephiroth dodged the first few slashes from the dark cop and then brought his sword up and slashed Cloud as he advanced. As he attacked, Vincent noticed his guard was down and slashed him across the stomach, and then retreated away quickly.
Sephiroth was slightly taken aback at the sudden movement, and then looked down. Instantly, he felt his own blood seep through his clothing and brought his sword up. Vincent brought his sword up and waited for Cloud to recover.
Cloud jumped back up and ran towards Sephiroth.
"Wait," Vincent called out. Cloud did not listen and attacked. Sighing, but not delaying, Vincent followed. Sephiroth deflected most of the attacks, but due to his wound from Vincent he couldn't block all of them. With Cloud's oversized sword, the blonde man swung past the silver haired man's defenses and sliced part of his arm.
Sephiroth flinched at the impact and brought his sword up for a retaliating attack. He then swung his sword and pushed the two men back. "How sly," Sephiroth commented. "I would have expected more from you Cloud,"
Jumping up, Cloud brought down his slightly bloodied weapon and looked at the silver haired man with hate. "And you treated Tifa with that respect you so much speak of,"
"Of course, I sent her to heaven as she was in suffering pain, I sent her to her promised land. Angels stay in heaven,"
"Then go to Hell!" Cloud yelled. Vincent watched the two men chorus and waited for the opportune moment. Sephiroth grinned then pushed his chest out, clearly in little pain. Two black wings emerged from his back and spread wide.
"I'd rather stay on earth," Sephiroth grinned. The wound which was produced on his stomach and arm healed over and Sephiroth was ready to attack again. Vincent cursed under his breath as he watched the man's body heal.
There was no end, was there?
-------
Cid cracked a few of his knuckles and grinned placing his spear down. "Ah, that hit the spot, now where was I?" Cid smirked as he jumped into the van again. As soon as the blonde haired man sat down the van doors shut.
Snapping his attention up, he saw a figure, but due to the shut doors he could not see who it was.
"What the hell do you want?" The man grumbled glaring slightly at the Venus Gospel that was by the mysterious person. Before Cid could say anything else, the person advanced quickly towards him and then he entered the dream world.
-------
Yuffie stirred but still did not waver to awaken.
"Being lazy on the job? That's not a good for the future, Yuffs," a distant voice spoke.
"Ti…fa…" Yuffie smirked, her eyes still closed. She didn't want to open them.
"An assassin is always on the job, either at home or in the enemy's quarters. Yuffie… when will you ever learn?"
"Never…" Her smirk then formed to a smile. With those words encased in her heart, the fallen ninja opened her foggy, grey eyes and pinpointed automatically where Cloud and Sephiroth were. The sounds of their swords clanging against each other was a sure enough note to state where they were, right across the room. Steadily forcing herself up, Yuffie stumbled over to the battlefield but stopped. The young woman, ignoring her wounds from before and her lack of strength, caught a glimmer with her eyes from the other side of her.
((SHURIKENS!)) Yuffie grinned. She hurriedly ran over to the weapons and stuffed them into their rightful pouches. ((Take that for being lazy! I'm gonna—
"—kick his ass!" Yuffie yelled. She turned around and shot her shurikens out, already knowing their exact location.
Sephiroth blocked each and ever move Cloud made, since Vincent was in the background. Sephiroth had the upper hand thanks to his newly acquired limbs.
Vincent shot his head toward the, now, conscience ninja and showed her acknowledgement as her voice rang across the room. Preoccupied, Sephiroth did not hear the ninja's words and as she threw the shurikens, they pierced right through his left wing.
Widening his bright green eyes, Cloud took that moment and fully cut it off and he jumped away.
Yuffie grinned and ran up to Cloud.
"Hey Spikey, sorry I took a nap, but I made it up to ya, didn't I?" Yuffie smiled readying her weapons.
"You did," Vincent cut in.
"Vinnie?" Yuffie questioned taking her eyes off the heavily breathing warlord. "Hiya, what took you so long? I was waiting an eternity times two for ya!"
"You're wounded."
It was a simple and clean stated fact, there was no emotion in his cold, calm voice. It didn't hurt Yuffie, she could understand. She took her mind off the dark haired man and looked at Cloud.
"Let's take him on, I'm ready to show ya more of my kick-ass moves!"
"You… will die," Sephiroth gritted as he watched his black angelic wing disperse to ashes.
"Blah, blah, blah. More action, no talk," Yuffie coughed.
Instantly as she said those words, she regretted them. For Sephiroth stood strait upwards again and looked directly into her ash colored eyes. Cloud glared and brought his sword up for attack.
"YA!" He yelled as he sprinted toward the demon. Vincent took that moment to move and joined in with the blonde. Sephiroth blocked his powerful attack and then grabbed him by his throat. Vincent automatically stopped in his tracks and watched intently.
"What are you planning to do with him?" Vincent asked calmly.
"This," Sephiroth replied throwing him up and stabbing his sword through his abominable.
Horror filled with her eyes, Yuffie screamed loudly and ran towards him. Her mind shutdown and she felt like she was in over mode. Taking the sword from Vincent's still hand, Yuffie ran up to Sephiroth and tried to cut him, but was to no avail.
Cloud coughed up blood and gathered his shocked senses together to kick his feet on the crazed man and flip himself off. Landing rather smoothly, Yuffie instantly ran towards Cloud and cried.
"Cloud! Cloud!" She yelled fearing for his life.
With a cough as his reply, his eyes showed all his intentions. Vincent noted this and quickly appeared before the kunoichi and grabbed her.
Yuffie struggled and broke free. "He's dead!" Yuffie cried, dropping her sword.
Pulling out more shurikens, Yuffie threw them at targets on Sephiroth's body, most of them hitting with perfect precision and some being deflected. Bringing out a kunai, she raced towards the silver haired fallen angel and deflected his incoming attack. Still for away, Yuffie pulled out another kunai and threw it, aiming at his hand. She back flipped away from him and returned back to Cloud.
The kunai hit its mark. Sephiroth hissed in pain at he saw his right hand pierced. Vincent followed in pursuit and attacked him then, in his weakened state. With his sword back in his hands, Vincent slashed Sephiroth quickly and retreated towards Yuffie's and Cloud's position. Cloud was still unmoving and Yuffie was still crying.
Why wasn't he moving?
More coughing was heard, this time feminine-like.
((Yuffie?)) Vincent thought alarmed. She was dying, just like Cloud was. Checking his pocket for a potion, he brought for just in case, he tossed it to Yuffie's body and readied himself again for a defensive stance. Yuffie watched the bottle land on top of Cloud's knee and smiled slightly. Picking it up, she looked up at Cloud's features and her tears stopped.
"Tifa… would die if you did," Yuffie stated. ((She's not dead… I heard her voice))
Optimism got people nowhere, but that is where they were right now, nowhere. What can it hurt to actually be a little on the bright side.
Cloud kept his eyes on Sephiroth and did not move or quench to be healed. Yuffie smiled.
If Cloud is lost… Tifa would help him. Now it's my turn… for you.
Opening the bottle cap, Yuffie poured the healing substance into her mouth and without another thought, pressed her mouth to Cloud's. The blonde blinked with confusion as he was snapped out of his gaze and watched as Yuffie transferred something into his mouth.
A kiss. It wasn't the kiss of life, it was a kiss delivered from his Tifa.
Yuffie withdrew her moistened lips and smiled. Cloud slightly smiled back and stood up using his sword for support.
"SEPHIROTH!" He called out. The injured mako eyed man connected eyes with him at his words. Yuffie looked up to Cloud's tall figure and smiled.
He would live… and she would die.
Vincent threw his sword towards Cloud, slowly recovering, and ran to Yuffie. Her revenge would not be complete if she was dead. Cloud caught the sword and brought his heavy one up.
"This ends now," Cloud glared. Yuffie still enticed with the blonde, was instantly pulled out of her trance and pulled back into reality. Letting out another cry, Vincent and Yuffie advanced further into the room and out of the door.
Cloud and Sephiroth were left alone.
-------
Exiting out of the Wutai resembling room, Yuffie started to scream and kick, but this time Vincent held a firm grip onto her.
"LEMEGO!" Yuffie wailed. Vincent looked sternly down to her and frowned.
"Cloud, will live," He stated, no emotion like usual. Yuffie still struggled, even with her wounds burning.
"She'll never forgive me, never. Let me go, Cloud must live, Tifa must be happy,"
"Tifa…"
"NO!"
"—is,"
Yuffie stopped struggling and looked down in defeat. Vincent let go of her frail, bleeding body and looked away from her. The task at hand was not complete, which meant that there was no time for 'dilly-dallying.'
"Alive," Yuffie finished for him. "And Cloud is going to live too,"
She grinned then collapsed. Vincent quickly grabbed her arm before she hit the ground and brought her close to him.
"And you are too," He whispered softly. Yuffie smirked and stood up fully.
"It'll take more than a dog, a crazed woman, a hundred or more body guards, an idiotic red head, and a stupid dead general to take down the great Yuffie Kisaragi," She grinned giving her 'partner' a thumbs up.
Taking note to where they were at, they saw that this room was an office room.
((It looks familiar… it must be Shinra's office)) Yuffie concluded.
"Back to where we started," Vincent commented. The room was an empty shell, so Rufus could have been anywhere.
"Damn," Yuffie cursed bringing out a shurikin, her last. Vincent separated himself from the ninja and looked around, noticing light on the ground he saw a small camera. Before he could question anything, the camera showed him the empty room and in the room they stood alone.
((A picture?))
With a closer but not noticeable examination, he saw a flicker from behind them in the camera and saw that it was Rufus.
"Yuffie, look out!" Vincent called. He raced towards Yuffie and pushed her to left right. Yuffie rolled away from the impact and Vincent landed gracefully behind her. The ninja was about to complain when she saw it was Rufus that was behind her accompanied by a sharp looking sword.
"Thanks," Yuffie muttered. There was no reply. Rufus stood still with his sword shining and grin plastered on his face.
"I didn't think that you'd make it this far," He stated with a slightly frown.
Vincent advanced towards the man and sliced his sword. Rufus blocked it and jumped back into the small of the office table.
"Too late," Rufus grinned. "I already called the cops, you won't be able to kill me before they get here, and all the blame will be on you,"
Yuffie remembered that desk as she glared at it.
Shinra smirked. He pressed a red button and a glass barrier surrounded him. "This here is armor proof, nothing can come in here, not even a bullet proof rocket… it's impossible," Shinra laughed.
Rufus reached for the button and sensing Yuffie's tension, Vincent readied his sword to throw. The as the blonde pressed the button, two cylinder glassed shot from above and below him to protect him. Before it fully closed, Vincent's sword blocked it, but only slightly.
Yuffie then jumped into the air and threw her last shuriken.
The shuriken slid through the opened crack and arched upward toward Rufus. Before the blonde could recover from his shock, the shuriken marked its destination.
Perfect aim.
Rufus fell over and without another second to lose, and he could breathe no more.
Yuffie landed onto a nearby couch and looked toward the bloodied glass barrier. He was dead.
Her mission was complete.
She glanced over to Vincent's figure and smiled. Her grey storms now calm. "Vincent," she said breaking the silence.
The man in black walked towards the exit and bent down. Yuffie cocked her head to the side and felt confused.
Vincent then stood up with a small camera in his hand.
"That's Tifa's!"
"I don't understand. All the computers weren't showing any images before, but this one, as I looked down, showed us and then Rufus," Vincent explained walking towards Yuffie's still form.
With a grin, Yuffie replied, "It's a gift from Teef, she's giving us her regards,"
The ninja smiled and looked up towards the rising sun. She then stood up, finally feeling accomplished and walked over to Vincent. Vincent placed the camera into Yuffie's small hand and looked down at her eyes.
"You know, you really don't look that scary anymore with short hair, but your eyes still make you seem like a vampire," Yuffie joked. Vincent slightly smiled at this and Yuffie grinned back. "A smile is my reward, huh? Well then, in that case,"
Yuffie pulled an item from her pocket and threw it up to Vincent. Vincent caught it with ease and examined it.
"There, is my father's late work, the world panorama. And here," Yuffie smiled as she pulled out another item, "is the evidence to clear your name,"
She threw him a tape, which he caught with ease. "Your fathers—"
"Blah, blah, blah, I don't want to hear it," Yuffie stated covering her ears. "Now, you ready to take me in or what? I expect to be treated like royalty in that ugly prison cell you put me in last time, and do you guys ever think of decorating in there… it looks like a sewer!"
At this Vincent placed his clawed hand onto her shoulder and said, "You're not going to prison, your bravery here showed me that you had good intentions,"
"Good intentions?"
"You protected your sister's name, fought and almost died for a cause that was worthy enough to be dubbed at good. Yuffie, I do not believe you as a criminal," The short black haired man explained. Yuffie shot him a look of utter confusion and then smirked.
"I knew you had a soft spot for me, Vinnie," She grinned. Standing up on her tiptoes, she pulled Vincent by his shirt and kissed him briefly. As she pulled apart she walked away and reached the doors. "You know Vinnie, I do like you, but you're too stiff for me," She laughed. She didn't turn around but she gave him her regards and waved. "I guess this is good-bye forever,"
I guess this is good-bye forever
Those words haunted him. Vincent did not reply, Yuffie's figure then disappeared as she left through the doors.
Forever…
-------
Yuffie walked out of the room and entered the Wutai room again. She looked around but Cloud and Sephiroth were not in sight. With the heavy burden lifted from her heart, Yuffie ran towards the top of the building and smiled. On the roof she saw Cloud there, looking triumphant.
"Did ya beat 'm?" Yuffie asked.
"…" Cloud replied. Shaking it off, Yuffie walked up to the man and looked off the top. In the nearby distance they heard the cop car's sirens. "We should leave,"
Yuffie looked up and grinned. "But I want to at least have some fun."
Silence was her answer.
"Aww, Cloud, you're such a party pooper,"
"You're hurt, you've lost too much blood,"
Yuffie looked down at her abdominal and smirked. "Naw, this jacket maybe soaked with blood, but still it's holding me intact," She replied. "Say, how'd you…"
"On our date, Tifa left her camera on the table. I noticed it after I paid for the dinner we didn't have," At this Yuffie felt guilty. "It had information on it, I think Tifa was too cloud minded to notice she left it,"
"That was the day…"
"Yuffie, her compact computer was connected to the house camera,"
"You saw,"
"…"
With a heavied sigh, Yuffie tore her gaze away from Cloud and then walked away. "Sephiroth's not dead, huh?"
"…"
"You're pathetic, let's go," Yuffie called. Cloud then looked down towards the earth and smiled.
"Tifa,"
He then caught up with Yuffie ever so slowly.
-------
"Oi! Valentine!" Cid called holding his head in pain.
"Where were you?" Vincent asked. Cid walked up to him with his spear in his hand and muttered.
"Damn creep, knocked me out," Cid cursed. Vincent took note to his words and walked ahead. "You got the evidence?" Vincent did not reply and continued.
Cid followed him and as they reached outside, Tseng met him with his gun, followed by a squad of policemen.
"Hold your hands up Valentine," Elena called out, "You too Highwind!"
"Elena," Tseng calmed. Elena, still in her 'ready to kick ass' mode, loosened up and waited for Tseng's word. "Valentine, you have evidence?"
Vincent opened up his right hand and nodded.
"Good, now let's go," Tseng commanded. Elena placed her gun down, followed by the rest of the cops, and escorted Cid and Vincent to the cars.
Cid sighed and looked over to Vincent. "I've been meaning to ask you… what was plan B anyways?"
Vincent glanced over to Cid and then looked forward again, "Plan B was to blow up the whole building,"
"What! So why didn't you use it in the first place?"
Vincent softly exhaled and replied slowly, "Yuffie wanted to 'kick-some-ass',"
"Ha. She's you're type of girl, Vince,"
No reply was given to the blonde.
-------
Yuffie and Cloud reached the back of the building and stopped by a covered car.
Coud pulled the cover off and threw it off. At the look of the car, Yuffie grinned and looked at Cloud. "Nice ride? Why the car? Why not a bike again?"
"… Remember last time?"
Yuffie sweat dropped and nodded. Cloud opened his door and motioned for Yuffie to jump in. Yuffie ran towards the car and jumped in, to her dismay she didn't make it in. Yuffie tripped on the covered tarp and fell to the ground.
"Curse… you… Leviathan…" Yuffie mumbled as she jumped up. An orb fell out of Yuffie pocket and rolled toward Cloud. Cloud rose his eyebrow up at the ball but to no action to bend down and retrieve it.
"Materia!" Yuffie smiled. She crawled over to the orb and picked it up. The orb was red, meaning it was a summon. "Oh yeah! Today's not ruined anymore!" Yuffie grinned holding it up in the air. A shimmer of light reflected off of it and then without another word, thirteen knights, one after another sliced through Cloud's red car.
In pure shock, and amazement, Yuffie watched at the knights vanished.
"That was… UBER--"
"My car…" Cloud twitched.
"COOLNESS!" Yuffie grinned. "Okay Cloud, I'm ready to go home now!" She smiled.
Cloud slumped down in defeat and then started to laugh.
"Wha-? What's so funny?"
After his laughing spasm, Cloud regained himself and started to walk. "You're in a lot of debt, Yuffie Kisaragi," he called.
Yuffie then smiled and laughed, running up to him.
"Nuh-uh, you own me!" Yuffie replied.
"…"
"Oh, not that again!"
From the car in the distance, music could be heard.
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
"Hey! That's my song!" Yuffie grinned.
"The keys were still in it," Cloud muttered.
"Sing with me Cloud!"
With Vincent's name cleared and Yuffie's revenge completed…
their lives will live happily ever after…
I think…
THE END… ?
A/N: Expect a surprising epilogue. Lady loves you all who have read this final chapter… and her fans/ people who dislike me. Hm… so who was that mysterious person who knocked out Cid? Hmm… oh well. Catch ya later! Hehe. Ja.
