A/N: This is Ducko writing. I want to thank you all for your reviews. I love reading them! This is a short chapter, but I am also taking this time to mention a couple of anouncements and to answer a few questions.

Now, to answer a couple questions: Yuffie may or may not be in this fan fiction. If not, then I will make another fan fiction when this one is over when Calvin and Hobbes have a mini-adventure with Yuffie in Wutai. If so, then this will be how Yuffie comes into the story. I'm still debating. What will happen, you ask? I can't tell. You'll just have to read and figure out. I wouldn't mind your input, though.

Second: There will not be any other Calvin and Hobbes characters in this fan fiction… just Calvin and Hobbes. Although there will be references and mentioning of certain characters.

Finally, this story is not going to just reflect the actual FFVII storyline. There will be chapters and events that I will invent for fun. I hope you enjoy them. Also, I'm open for any ideas. If you have any, I would love to hear them. I may or may not take them, mind you.

Well, that's all for now. If you have more questions, just post them in the reviews. Now, on with the story.

Chapter Fourteen: Seto: The Great Warrior

Bugenhagen led Red XIII through the hole in the cave wall that led to the outside of Cosmo Canyon However, Red XIII was so excited about what it was that Bugenhagen was about to show him that he sprinted past him outside. Cloud and Hobbes followed.

Outside, Red XIII was eagerly looking around him to see if he could find what he was supposed to see. However, he wasn't having very much luck. Bugenhagen arrived seconds later.

"Grandfather, what is it that you wanted to show me?" Red XIII asked eagerly.

"The warrior that went through the caves to protect our tribe during the war," Bugenhagen explained. "He resides out here even today."

"Where is this warrior? Who is it?" Red asked.

"Look up and see for yourself," Bugenhagen replied.

Red XIII looked up to where Bugenhagen was pointing. He saw a stone figure that looked like it had arrows sticking out of it. The figure had a remarkable resemblance to Red XIII. When Cloud and Hobbes looked at it, they seemed confused. Red XIII, however, was shocked.

"Is…is that?"

"Look, Nanaki," Bugenhagen said comfortably. "Look at your father, the great warrior Seto."

Hobbes' ears perked up at the sound of those words.

"His father?"

"Yes," Bugenhagen explained. "It was him, Seto, which went through the caves, fighting off the Gi tribe and protecting Cosmo Canyon. Even when he had petrifying arrows pierced through his skin, he continued to fight. He fought until the last of the Gi tribe had been killed. Even as he stands up there petrified, he continues to protect us, not allowing anyone into our canyon."

Red XIII seemed shocked as he was trying to absorb all he had just heard. He had taken his father for a coward all of these years when in reality, he was the bravest warrior in Cosmo Canyon. He never felt so ashamed of himself, nor did he fell so proud of his race, his canyon, and his father. It was the first time he felt pride for his father. He was speechless.

"Wow!" Hobbes said in awe. "I come from a canyon where numerous warriors are born! Man, I wish I could remember what Seto was like. It would be an honor to me if I could say that I knew him. No, I take that back, It would be a true honor if I could call him a father. Right Red? I mean, you must be so proud of him! He defended your whole canyon and everyone living in it by himself pretty much! If that doesn't make someone proud of him then I don't know what will! I mean…"

However, as Hobbes continued his excited monologue, Red XIII continued to say nothing for quite some time.

After a minute or two more of silence, he finally muttered quietly, "…father…"

Hobbes must have heard Red XIII say this, because he instantly stopped speaking.

"I'm sorry," he said sympathetically. "I didn't mean to go out on an edge like that."

"No, it's not that," Red XIII assured. "It's just...well…"

"I know the feeling," Hobbes assured. "I thought my parents abandoned me when I was a cub, but they were warriors and I didn't even know they were warriors. I remember the shock I got when I found out. I still get goose bumps thinking about it…not that that's a bad thing, mind you."

"Cloud…Hobbes…" Bugenhagen interrupted. "Could you leave the two of us alone for a minute? I need to have a word with Nanaki."

Both Cloud and Hobbes nodded and started to head back to the Cosmo Candle.
