The Shera flew in what seemed to be an endless journey. Port Kilika was formed very, VERY close to Wutai, and yet, they still could not fly there in a short period of time.

"So, Yuffie," Vincent Valentine said to the young ninja. "ever play Truth or Dare?"

"Omigosh!" Yuffie yelled out. "I love that game! Hey... wanna play?"

Vincent quickly remembered his past experiences with that game, and was sorry that he had brought it up to her. "No." he replied. But he knew, that now Yuffie wouldn't stop whining 'til she'd played a game of Truth or Dare.

"Aww, come on. Please?" Yuffie whined at the gunman. Vincent sighed.

"Fine, I'll play one round. ONE. You first."

Yuffie laughed with glee. "Okay, Vince, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Vincent gulped. Yuffie was now in control.

"Have you... ever done it w-" The young'un was interrupted by Cid.

"Yuffie! Focus on our god damn mission!" Cid was fumed. Vincent managed to stay stoic, but on the inside, was rocked by fear. When Cid got mad, he had road rage...

"Forget you, old man!" Yuffie was now asking for trouble.

Before Cid could respond, Nanaki said, "Stop fighting! We're already hovering over Port Kilika!"

Cid looked out of a window. Yep, we're there. Cid regained calmness and sat back at the pilot's chair, when he landed the ship. The team walked out of the airship and onto a rickety pier. Vincent looked to his right, at a sign made from a piece of old cardboard. Port Kilika. The team walked out, with Vincent leading. After all, with Cid's bitter cursing, Yuffie's wisemouthedness, Nanaki's being a fire wolf, and Barret's gun arm, he was the most charismatic to these people, despite his claw hand and apparent emoness.

"Cid. You watch the Shera, maybe mix up a bit of cocktails." Vincent ordered Cid, knowing that he would make the cocktails efficiently... even if he would drink half of them on the spot. Cid groaned at this and walked back into the Shera. But anyone could tell that his face showed joy that he would have to do almost nothing.

"Yuffie. You start "collecting" things off the ground. We need money to hire a tactician, and I'm not fighting a thousand Razor Wire monsters." Vincent ordered the ninja now.

"Hai!" Yuffie jumped off to a nearby house.

"Nanaki and Barret, you come with me. You'll be our side negotiators..." Vincent stopped in the process of ordering Nanaki and Barret to notice something.

The entire city was on weak wooden piers. All of the houses were merely huts. And the Shera was on the end of one of those piers.

Vincent ran into the ship. "Cid! Look out! Take off!"

But Cid was passed out, in the few seconds he had been on the ship, he had made 32 "Manhattans", and drank them all. Suddenly a groaning noise was heard, and a loud snap followed.

The Shera took the plunge.

Tifa greatly feared what Sephiroth would do next. A vibrating piece of pink plastic was one inch away from her eye, and he could shove it directly into her eye and effectively destroy it. So she said the only thing she could think of.

"Please don't kill me!" Tifa shrieked at her captor.

"What, you don't like being jabbed in the eye? I know something that would befit you more." Sephiroth evilly said. But she could really use some rest, he thought. Out of this pity, he concealed her in a five foot by five foot black box.

"Rest. I shall give you 10 hours." Sephiroth tried to hold back the kindness in his voice, and failed a quite a bit.

Tifa was relieved at this, and sighed as she fell into a deep slumber. But she could only try to ask herself, 'What did I do to deserve this?'

'You didn't.' a voice, possibly her subconscious, answered. 'Cloud did. Vincent did.' She was now dreaming.

'I know Cloud did, but Vincent...'

'Should've been protecting you.' the voice interrupted her.

Suddenly, the scene in her dream changed. From utter bleak darkness and non existence she had a form. Or, at least, she could see.

"Sorry I'm late." A younger version of Tifa appeared walking around the side of a well. No, not this memory! Not again! The memory swirled and swirled around in her mind, replaying itself over and over again, when suddenly, she awoke with a loud... thump? She had hit the ground. She tried to stretch out, but realized that she was tied up, and remembered that she had been kidnapped.

"Good morning, Tifa." Sephiroth evilly spoke to Tifa. He remembered, using his stellar sense of time, that it was 9:43 AM. "Before you say a word, Tifa, We are moving to a new place, and I have a something new to show you."

He laughed evilly, and then said to the vixen, "I am going to untie you. Should you try to escape, you shall die. Or worse... We are going to a ride to the Temple of the Ancients. You shall not make a sound while we fly. Do I make myself clear?"

Tifa's response was a very nervous yes, and Sephiroth began untying the vixen.

Now's your chance, Tifa! Save yourself while he's not suspecting! Tifa contemplated in her mind for a second, before responding to herself, 'No. He said he'd kill me or worse if I tried anything. And you know what worse is...' Sephiroth picked Tifa up like a child, and flew off, breaking the roof of the building.

As Midgar disappeared behind them, and Junon drew closer, Tifa pitifully asked his captor, "W-what are you planning to do with me?" Sephiroth's response was his finger to her lips and an evil laugh. Oh boy, this isn't gonna end good. Tifa's subconscious told Tifa as they flew over Junon and even further towards the Temple of the Ancients. Vincent, my love, please save me!

Cloud warned the man, "Listen. There's a nuclear bomb there, ready to blow. We need to turn back now."

The man merely laughed in his annoying accent and said, "We took that out over 600 years ago! We just didn't have the hindsight to grab the machinery before the Great Melting..."

"The Great Melting?" Cloud was curious once more. The man merely handed him a map, which was much different from the one he'd known.

Wutai was now further south, and all of the mountainous regions were the only land left on the map. Midgar was floating above the water of course, but Nibelheim, as he could see, was now a coastal town. New cities were clustered around the Northern Continent, and the Gold Saucer had relocated to right next to North Corel. Rocket Town was also clustered up to North Corel, and every other town was gone. Completely not on the map.

'Aerith, do you see this?' Cloud asked her in his mind. But suddenly, he felt an urge to scratch his wrist. He then noticed that a second wheel had stopped spinning, landing on a zero again! Yes! the spiky haired swordsman cheered to himself, but then, he was sucked through it!

When Cloud finally came to, he saw a strange sight. He was in midair, with some sort of gravity defying boots, hovering over Junon. He looked around, and noticed something flying straight towards him at breakneck speed.

It was wearing a black cape.
