That next morning, the sun peaked through the windows, some of the sun light got into Vincent's eyes, he flinched and then sat up, the room had a golden glaze from the furnished wood and sun rays. He yawned and looked around, he squirmed out of Yuffie's grip, and then headed on out of his room, he was usually the first one awake, so he knew he was going to be alone. He let out a heavy sigh as he carefully continued down the steap stairs.

'I've gotta get away from them.' thought Vincent to himself, he wished he could run away, he knew that if he didn't get away someone he cared about like Yuffie would get hurt. As he started to walk out of the hotel he turned around and mentally said to them, 'Till we meet again everyone, good bye.'

Vincent headed out the door into the empty city, it was so early, he was probably the only one awake, he knew he was going to die like Aeris. Sephiroth was after him, and either he was going to kill Sephiroth and return to an adult or die trying. He looked at his gun, then at his body, and then up at the sky, it was a clear sunny day, cool but still slightly warm, like a day in Autum.

"So... Your leaveing" asked a voice up from behind him.

"..." replied Vincent turning around.

"Vincent, where will you go" asked the blonde spikey haired man.

"Oh, Cloud." sighed Vincent.

"Your not leavein', so.." said Cloud before being cut off.

"I am leaveing! Sephiroth, is after me! Not you or anyone else! Just me! I will not allow, because of my presence that my friends will be killed" cried Vincent.

"We won't be killed, Vincent. And I will not allow myself to let another friend be lost to Sephiroth." said Cloud. Vincent was about in tears once more, Cloud scooped him up and held him close"Vincent it's ok, don't worry anymore."

Vincent pushed away from Cloud, he squrimed and pushed till Cloud almost dropped him. Cloud held him tightly, he walked back into the hotel and sat down with Vincent, the child gave up and closed his eyes, he held back his tears, and started to relax finally.

"Cloud why did you stop me? I don't think I could live with another sin if Sephiroth, killed one of you." cried Vincent.

"And I will not allow you to be killed by him either. I already let Aeris die, and I will not allow Sephiroth to take your life or anyone else's that I care about." replied Cloud.

"But... I would've been fine." said Vincent.

"Not likely. Now Vincent, why don't you go back to bed, your pretty tired I can tell." said Cloud.

"Let's both go back to bed again." said Vincent. Cloud agreed, and both went back to sleep for a while. Vincent got up after he made sure Cloud was asleep. Vincent ran off again, and walked out of the town, he knew about the monsters, all about the dangers he could encounter, but as long as Yuffie and cloud and anyone else wasn't hurt or killed, he didn't care.

"Huff, I think I'm... Huff, I'm far enough away from Cloud and the rest." said Vincent nearly out of breath.

"Yes... So far away from help, so... all alone." said a chilling familiar voice.

"Se-Sephiroth" said Vincent, pulling out his gun.

"So your going to shoot me" asked Sephiroth.

"..." replied Vincent as he took aim.

"Don't make me laugh" said Sephiroth appearing behind Vincent and then punching him throwing him face forward.

"Augh" replied Vincent.

"Heh, now surrender yourself to me and I might let you live." said Sephiroth.

"I will not... Nor will you kill any of the ones I care about, even if I die, they can live on." said Vincent.

"Heh." replied Sephiroth, he stuck out his arm, and Vincent felt pain surge throughout his body. Vincent felt younger than he already was. He started to shrink yet again, he pulled his gun out it took both hands to hold the hand gun, and he shot. The bullet went right through Sephiroth's hand and into his arm. Sephiroth retreated, after getting all he needed.

"II can't walk all that well." said Vincent, he started to trip and fall over. He ws under the age of 3 years now, he couldn't walk all that well nor could he speak all that well. Vincent sat down and started crying.

"Vinnie" called Yuffie looking toward the outside part of the town.

"..." replied Vincent. 'Oh no! I must've been thrown back farther than I thought, I need to hide!'

"Vinnie? Vinnie" Called Yuffie. Just then she heard rustling in the bushes, she walked over to see if it was an animal or Vincent.

"..." she said she opened the bush and a bird flew out"EEK" she screamed as she fell back into another bush. She fell on something with hair, and soft skin, it had human features, she turned around to see two large ruby red eyes staring right into her brown lively eyes.

"V-Vinnie! What in the planet" said Yuffie picking him up, he was barely old enough to be called winged off the bottle. She cradled him in her arms, he was in no postion to fight against her.

"... I was attacked...,. B-by Sepwroth." said vincent the best he could. Within this transformation he was barely a 2-year-old.

"But why? How" asked Yuffie.

"I dwon't know! He wanted to be owder." said Vincent unhappily. Yuffie raced off to cloud and the rest to show them Vincent's new form.

'Don't worry Vinnie, this proves it is sephiroth after you!' thought Yuffie to herself as she raced off.
