Me: …
Sera: What's the matter now?
Me: Why can't my favorite stories be updated faster?
Sera: 'Cause everyone is enjoying their last few days of summer. Either that, or they already started school.
Me: …Oh well…I don't own FF VII…ok, well I own a copy of it, but I don't own the characters or places and some of the text. I only own Sera and myself (Sam).
Sera and Sam ran to where both Cloud and Barret were, followed by Tifa. "Good so far everything's going as planned. Better not let your guard down till we get to the Sector 5 reactor. Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie got everything ready for us. So MOVE it. Well, the reactor's just down this tunnel!" The group nodded and the five of them headed towards a couple of light beams that Cloud recognized as Shinra security sensors. Sam, having played the game pretended to examine the area with the hole.
"Look! There's a hole over here!" Everyone crowded around to examine the hole. After some discussing, the five of them climbed down to where Wedge was. They then climbed the ladder nearest him and talked to Jessie. She apologized for causing the situation on the train and showed them the way to the reactor. The three oldest members of the group then went down the pipe. Once Barret, Tifa, and Cloud slid down the pipe, Sera refused to budge.
"…"
"Yes, you are going down there whether you like it or not."
"…"
"Eh, fine." Sam said and acted as if she was going to go down by herself. Sera looked relieved, then the gypsy-like girl grabbed her friend's hand and pulled them both down the pipe. A short yet fun while later, the two of them landed on their feet.
"Where are they?" Sera asked.
"Follow me." Sam, using her amazing memory of FF 7 used the route that the adults had used to get to the room that they were bombing. "Hey guys!" Sam shouted when she saw them running away from the engine room. Just before anyone could say or do anything, they were surrounded by Shinra soldiers and graced with the presence of President Shinra.
"Hmm… So you all must be that...what was it?"
"AVALANCHE! And don't ya forget it! And you're President Shinra, huh?" Barret shouted.
"Long time no see, President." Cloud said calmly.
"Forgive me for asking, but I can't be expected to remember each person's name. Unless you become another Sephiroth. Yes, Sephiroth… He was brilliant. Perhaps too brilliant…"
"Sephiroth…?" Cloud seemed to be a little dazed at the name of the famous general.
"Don't give a damn 'bout none of that! This place's goin' up with a big BANG soon! Serves y'all right!"
"And such a waste of good fireworks, just to get rid of vermin like you…"
"VERMIN?" Sam and Sera shouted along with Barret. President Shinra looked a little bored.
"…You are beginning to bore me. I'm a very busy man, so if you'll excuse me…I have a dinner I must attend."
"Dinner? Don't gimme that! I ain't even start wit' you yet!"
"But I've made arrangements for a playmate for you all." A large robot walked through the Shinra soldiers, at least 3 times the size of Cloud.
"What the hell is this?" Barret continued to shout.
"Meet 'Airbuster', a techno-soldier. Our Weapon Development Department created him. I'm sure the data he'll extract from your dead bodies will be of great use to us in future experiments." The president acted as if their lives were merely children's toys.
"Techno-soldier?" Cloud was confused.
"Now then, if you'll excuse me." The president hopped into a helicopter that had arrived at the scene. He didn't even here Cloud's protest before he flew away.
"Surround him!" Cloud shouted and the group split up to begin their battle.
"Cloud! You attack first!" Barret shouted at the spiky haired man. Sam and Sera were on the same side of the robot as Cloud, while Barret and Tifa were on the other side. Cloud cast Bolt 1, making the machine a little damaged. The robot turned around and shot at Cloud as a counter attack. Tifa then attacked with her limit break, Beat Rush that also resulted in her getting hurt by the robot. After Barret's attack, which was a few rounds from his gun arm, Sam pulled out her two whips and lashed at metallic creature. Her attack didn't hurt it much, but the counter attack hurt her a lot. Finally, it was Sera's turn. The brown-eyed girl's rushed foreword and punched the machine's body a couple of times, causing the legs to malfunction and the robots body to fall to the floor. It wasn't finished yet, but it was very damaged.
"Good work!" Shouted Cloud as he cast yet another Bolt 1. The resulting counter attack was Big Bomber, which hurt him greatly. Tifa, instead of attacking, threw a potion to the leader of the group. Barret, on the other hand, used his limit break, Big Shot. He received damage from the robot's rear gun. Sam attacked on her turn, only to discover that she was using a limit break. She closed her eyes involuntarily and saw an attack by the robot to Sera. It also showed Sam pushing her friend out of the attack's way and saving them both. Her eyes opened and found that her wounds had been healed because of her limit break, which she knew to be Future Sight without anyone telling her. Sera's attack was also a limit break. The quiet girl clapped her hands while closing her eyes (kinda like how Ed from FMA does) and felt her power pulse into the earth not too far from the battlefield. She shook a lot earth loose from a close area and opened her eyes when six stones about her size surrounded 'Airbuster.' One at a time, the stones pounded into the outer shell of the machine, causing a lot of damage. The robot used its Big Bomber attack, but missed because of Sam's quick interference. Cloud then used his turn to attack with Braver, which destroyed their opponent.
The explosion from ending the battle caused some of the bridge to explode with it, leaving Sera, Sam, and Cloud hanging. Sam was holding onto Sera's waist, while the earth-girl held on as tight as she could to the ledge. Cloud was holding onto a ledge as well. "You know…you're really heavy Sam…" Sera gasped out.
"Sera, this is not the time to be commenting on my weight!"
"It's gonna blow! Let's go, Tifa!" Barret shouted while trying to pull the woman away from the edge.
"Barret! Can't you do something?"
"Not a damn thing."
"Cloud! Please don't die! You can't die! There's still so much I want to tell you! And Sam and Sera are so young!"
"I know, Tifa…" Cloud said calmly, despite his situation.
"Hey, you gonna be awright guys?" Barret asked, a hint of worry on his face.
"Oh we'll be hanging." Sam said sarcastically.
"That's not funny." Sera rebuked, then looked worried as her grip was losing its hold.
"I don't know if I can hold on. Shit! Can't hold on much longer. Barret…Hurry!" Cloud called out.
"Don't go cryin' like a woman. There ain't nothin' I can do for ya. Ya gotta do it yourself."
"I am a woman!" Sam shouted.
"Barret…" Cloud said softly.
"Alright, then, later." Barret looked like he was going to cry as he dragged Tifa away and all three of them fell while the reactor started to blow up. Sam's last couple of thoughts before she blacked out were, I'm too young to die! and Couldn't Sera save me from this fate?
Me: Mwahahahahaha! A cliffy for so few reviews!
Sera: You're not evil.
Me: I know. I just act it sometimes.
Sera: And crazy.
Me: What's new? If you know the plot of FF 7, you know what happens next. Unfortunately, it'll take longer now that school has started where I live. Just so you know. Also, I hope that Square Enix won't kill me for using some of the text for the scenes that I typed. I just don't remember enough of that part of the story to write my own.
Sera: That, and she's a lazy bi-
Me: Finish that sentence and face my wrath…:vein appears:
Sera: Well it's true!
Me: Art of Sera will be very appreciated. Just send me the link. I need to go jurt her now...:chases after Sera:
