Chapter 16
The Highwind was thrown up into the air, being tossed around like a toy. Both the right and left propeller tail were broke off. "#$&!" Cid said as he reached for a switch. Several parts of the Highwind fell off as a pair of wings was extended and a rocket engine was exposed and fired from the back.
Yuffie lasted all of a half a second after righting before she ran to the bathroom. Vincent picked himself up from across the cargo room where he was thrown and checked himself over to see if anything was broken. Walking into the cockpit, he asked if the world was saved or doomed.
"Well, there goes Holy, let's see," Barret said, watching it go.
Holy went right over Midgar and set itself to block Meteor. But it was too late; Meteor forced its way trough and even turns Holy to its use.
"Shit…" Cid muttered.
"Hey, what's that?!" Tifa said, pointing to something green started coming out of a near by hill. It was soon joined by thousands of other strands, all of them heading for Meteor. They all converged and Meteor was destroyed.
On the plains on the other side of the world, a woman wearing a simple but elegant dress was laying on the ground looking up at the blue sky, humming and smiling. "You took an awful big chance, Terra." She turned her head up and saw a man in his late twenties standing there. He was six feet tall, had short cropped, black hair, and mako blue eyes.
"It all worked out, didn't it Fate?"
"For now," Fate answered. "There is still allot of trouble to come you way. I'll say it worked out in three years." With that, he turned around and started walking away. "Out of all the well behaved planets in the universe, why do you cause me so much trouble?"
Terra stuck her tongue at him, "Because you had set two good people to be alone. And I'm tired of seeing my children hurt."
Fate shook his head and let his avatar disappear. Terra put him out of her mind and yawned. "That took allot out of me, didn't it?" she asked to no one in particular. A wolf padded up to her and set himself to watch over her as she went to sleep.
Twelve hours later, there was a celebration in Costa del Sol. With Meteor and Sephiroth destroyed, the remaining Weapons had returned to sleep and wait for the next time the planet is in danger. Mako reactors had all shut down from the lack of mako; most had over heated without the mako and was beyond repair on most parts. Even Midgar wasn't safe. Mako Reactor Zero under the Headquarters had ruptured and was flooding the city with Mako. There were plans of building a city at the edge of Midgar for the people now without homes. Creatively enough, it's supposed to be called Edge.
Vincent was sitting in a chair, away from the celebrators. The band was playing a fast beat song and Vincent could see Cloud trying his hardest to dance with Tifa. Barret was worrying over the daughter he hadn't seen in so long. Cid was with Shera, apologizing for how much of an ass he had been to her. Red XIII was lying in the shade, trying not to get to hot in the ninety degree temperature. Vincent couldn't blame him; he had to take off his cloak himself.
And Reeve was sitting at a table with Cait Sith, without the giant mog, talking about creating something about the World Regeneration Organization, or WRO, but he needed funding for it. But that wouldn't be hard to find. When the fighting was all over with, they each had over fifty million Gil.
Vincent looked around, realizing that he didn't know where Yuffie was. He saw her, talking to the materia salesman. "With the reactors about to be destroyed, the only materia that are going to be available is the materia already available and the materia that are produced naturally. So here, this is all the materia I bought from you that I didn't use."
"Yuffie, I don't need them. You keep them; give them to your friends as a gift or to people who need them. And besides, I'm about to change what I sell anyway." The store owner shooed her away and told her to have fun, "This is a party!"
Vincent sighed, with fighting over; there was nothing left for him to do. But he couldn't go back to that coffin. So what was next for him? He knew what he wanted: Yuffie. He sighed again.
Just because he wanted to be with her, doesn't mean he could. The band started a new song and Vincent almost laughed at how much that seemed to be him.
I don't wanna feel anything today
(I don't wanna feel anything today)
Anything at all I'll just be alone
(I just wanna know that you wanna know)
I don't wanna live through another day
(I don't wanna live through another day)
Meaningless to fight for the victory
I just wanna dive in the heart of misery
One love (One love)
One life (One life)
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss (One loss)
One fight (One fight)
Locked me in the heart of misery
I will never be anything again
(I will never be anything again)
I'm tired to give I don't wanna try
(I'm afraid to live, I'm afraid to die)
I just wanna fly throw it all away
(I just wanna fly throw it all away)
Meaningless to fight for your sympathy
I just wanna drown in the heart of misery
One love (One love)
One life (One life)
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss (One loss)
One fight (One fight)
Locked me in the heart of misery
One man forgot to breathe
One heart refused to beat
One love is incomplete
One loss
One life
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss
One fight
Locked me in the heart of misery
One love (One love)
One life (One life)
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss (One loss)
One fight (One fight)
Locked me in the heart of misery
Ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh
In the heart of misery
Ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh
In the heart of misery
Vincent stood up and put on his cloak. Turning around, he started walking away. Outside of town, he heard a voice telling him to stop.
"Vinnie, where are you going?"
"Yuffie, I…I just need to go."
"Why? You're not a monster!"
"Maybe I'm not. But I'm not a human either. I am sorry, Yuffie, I need to go."
During that whole exchange, she didn't even so much as see him turn his head. Stuck where she was, she watched him walk away, from his friends, his new life, and from her. Tears slid down her cheek as she went back. She couldn't help but notice a small river to the west of town that had split off into two small streams not long after they had joined.
Author's notes: sniff, sniff.
I'm sorry Yuffie. But Vincent has new demons he needs to come to terms with before he can be with you.
But I could have helped him!
Maybe, but he probably thinks that having you there with him will hurt both you and him. I believe this demon has something to do with seeing Lucrecia again as his feelings for you were maturing. And then finding out that it was Lucrecia that joined him to Chaos, that couldn't have done any good.
Sigh, I don't owe FF7. Nor do I own the song above. That song is called Heart of Misery, with Rasmus the ones who sing it. I don't know the creator.
