Door of twilight

Chapter 5

Let's get going

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC's.

(Now that the plot's going, I can finally write more Cloud. Of course I'm still going to focus more on Riku for a while, until things are really moving. Also note that I will keep the poll of who Riku and Leon should be paired with open until chapter 12. And I will tell you who at the end of chapter 13.)

Normal POV

----------------------------------

"So you don't remember anything, huh?" Zell asked, while leaning against the wall. Personally, Cloud thought it was a dumb question. Why would he say that he had no memory? "Well, you remembered your name I guess." Why did Cloud find himself fighting the urge to hit Zell over the head?

At this time a nurse walked into the room carrying a black backpack. She brought it over to Cloud and handed it to him. "Here," she said, "These were with you when you came in." Cloud took the bag and looked inside it.

It looked like there was a change of close. A red cloak that looked like it had seen better days. Several bottles of potions, ethers, and elixirs. Some materials that he could probably trade at a store some were. And finally there was a chain that had what looked like a wolf head on the end of it. But nothing to give him a hint of who he was.

"Dude, that's a syntheses chain. Put that on a sword, gun, some type of weapon, and its power goes up." Hm… why would Cloud have a syntheses chain? "I guess you made that for the sword you had with you when we found you." Sword, what sword?

"Oh, right, we put the sword down in the storage room." Ok, that explains why he didn't see any sword. "I'll take you down there in a little bit. Then there are some people that you should meet." Cloud had a feeling that this was going to be a long day.

Riku POV

----------------------------------------

What happened to me? The last thing I remember is fighting Sephiroth. Why can't I move?

"Promise me that if I'm ever in danger, you'll come and save me"

Save who? What's going on? Why am I hearing things?

"You turn you back on the prescient and live in the past, because you can't take the light of the prescient."

What I don't live in the past. Hell, I try and forget the past, living in it only makes things worse.

"Think you can handle this many? ... Then that'll have to be the one I take care of."

What the hell is going on! Why am I hearing things! Huh, what's that light?"

Normal POV

------------------------------------

"Hey he's waking up!" Riku groaned when he heard a voice yell this. If he had to guess, he would say it was Yuffie. Riku noticed that his right hand hurt like hell, and his right arm seemed to be strapped to what he guessed was a bed.

Opening his eyes, Riku could see just about every on was coming though the door, minus Yuffie, and Aerith, who he guessed were already in the room. Glancing down at his right arm he saw it was strapped down. But what got him were the facts that were his right hand once was, now there was metallic hand in its place. The metal hand was mostly silver, with gold on the fingers and knuckles.

"Hey Riku, how are you felling." That question came from Sora. Riku gave Sora a look that said "What-do-you-think-I-just-had-my-hand-cut-off." Sora seemed to get what the look meant and quickly said, "Studied question."

Leon however seemed more interested in asking questions then anyone. "So when did you fight Sephiroth?" It seemed like a fair question so Riku decided to give an answer. "About a year ago. I didn't know his name till now." Leon didn't seem satisfied with the answer so Riku decided to keep going.

"I was looking for Roxas. Sephiroth came out of nowhere and said something about testing my power. We battled for a few minutes and then he just left." Riku explained while lying on the bed. "By the way, can someone untie me form the bed now?"

After being untied, Riku got up and started to move his arm. It felt weird, his hand. He was guessing that whoever had made it was able to attach it to his nervous system. He could move it but if felt really wired.

"Before Sephiroth teleported away, he swung his sword at your head. You jumped back, bit your hand was caught be the sword." It was Aerith who said this. She passed a moment before continuing. "You go enough distance between you and the sword that it wouldn't kill you, but it took off your hand and left a scar a crossed your face." Hearing that Riku looked in a mirror on the wall. There was a long scar on the left side of his face. It was in-between his eye and ear, going about from his eye to his chin.

"So, let me get this straight, you fought Sephiroth by your self. You fought Roxas by your self. Anyone else you've fought by your self and not told us about?" Sora asked while looking at the scar on Riku's face.

"Let's see, I fought Saix, Xigbar, and Axle." Riku said with a shrug. "I pretty sure that I'm the reason that Saix and Xigbar had those scars a crossed their face."

"What do you mean pretty sure?"

"I fought Saix and Xigbar at the same time. We all sent the strongest blast of energy we could at each other, and then charged forward, swing or shooting our weapons. Everything after the explosion is kind of fuzzy."

"Well I hate to do this to you Riku but we have to get going soon. We can give you a day or two to get used to your hand, but the sooner we leave the better." It was the King who said this. Riku knew that if they didn't go soon that a lot of worlds would fall to darkness. "And this time we all do it together."

"Just a minute," Leon spoke up, "we talked it over and were coming to." Looking around Riku could see that everyone that lived at Radiant Garden was nodding in agreement. "You're going to need all the help you can get. Plus Cid has a Gummy ship big enough to take all of us."

"All right, with all of us this should be easier than before." Sora was as cheerful as ever. That was on thing Riku was never good at, being cheerful. But he had to admit that it would be nice to have some extra backup.

But for some reason he couldn't shake this felling that something big was about to happen.

End chapter

-----------------------------------------

And here's a short chapter I was able to write after doing my homework. Here is what the voting poll stands at right now:

Yuna1

Tifa1

Rinoa1

Pleas I need someone else to vote on who Leon should be paired with.

Also I have a list of worlds that I know I'm going to do that are not from the game, they are:

Star wars knight of the old republic (one and two)

Avatar

Teen Titans

Unbreakable

The Matrix

I will most likely add more later on. Also if you have a idea for a world pleas tell me.
