As they stepped off of the air trolley, they were bombarded with a large array of sights and sounds.
"Welcome to Gold Saucer," said this lady with pretty smile.
"I'm just glad we can finally glad we can rest without having to worry about having monsters jump us in our sleep." Sephiroth said as he made for the entrance.
"And that this is the world's greatest theme park is no never mind to you." Yuffie said, following him.
"Well, only a little." He replied with a Chester cat grin.
At the door, Sephiroth flashed his gold ticket. "I'm sorry but you ticket only allows a party of two, not of seven. You'll have to get it updated."
"Hey Cloud, do you have a gold Ticket?"
"No, never been here before."
"Can we afford one from the party cash?"
"…No, we only have 17,000 Gil."
"Miss, do you have check card reader here?"
"Yes sir, right over here."
Sephiroth slid his card though, pressed a few numbers, and was asked how many people he wanted on this one.
"Ten people please."
"Okay, that'll 35,000 Gil …and the transaction has been approved. Please enjoy you stay."
"Here Cloud, I don't need this."
"Thanks…"
"So, let's have fun!" Aeris said.
"FUN? YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN WHILE WE STILL NEED TO FIND GANGLERE? FINE, GO HAVE FUN!" Barret yelled then ran through one of the chutes.
"Wow, he's really on edge." Cloud said, wondering why.
Sephiroth shook his head and grabbed said to Yuffie, "Come on, let's go before our resident love triangle causes us trouble."
"Sure. See you three later guys!"
"Wait, when did those two starts spending so much time together did?" asked Red XIII.
Everyone else only shrugged.
They came out at the event square where a concert was being put on. The band was called Ilphbryn, meaning Emerald Agents in ancient tongue. There really was no lead singer for the band, just the person who sung the song the best. This time it was the female guitarist. Though the song was in Wutian, it was so popular that no-one cared.
Just being close to you doesn't make love happen.
Even if I make a puzzle you can't solve it because you're slow
We came to the spring sea, wearing summer clothes.
Please cover me gently with your shirt.
My heart won't let me say
"Please kiss me."
Day dream... My dream gets bigger
and disappears high in the sky.
Any girl can be happy.
When they fall in love, they start shining.
Even if the tears start flowing, or my heart aches,
if it's because of you, I won't be sad.
I want to have a secret. I want to feel guilty.
Though I know what's happening with you, I pretend I don't
Even if my heart races in fall, or I feel sad in winter,
I'll be okay if this precious love bears fruit.
I want to be certain of your heart.
I believe in your fingers touching me.
It's my first true love,
which is why my cheeks are burning.
When a girl is in love, she can become beautiful.
She doesn't even need red lipstick.
Even if she can't sleep, all she does is dream,
overflowing with feelings of love.
Any girl can be happy.
If she is full of love, she can be invincible.
Even if tears start to flow, or her heart aches,
if it's because of you, she'll become gentler.
"My Heart, Your Heart," Sephiroth said, saying the name of the song. "A song about what happens to women when they're really in love."
"Well, aren't you full of surprises?" Yuffie said with raised eyebrows. "Not many people learn that language anymore."
"The language is beautiful as is the culture."
"Was beautiful," Yuffie corrected. "Now, it's just a tourist trap."
"I know, and I'm sorry."
It's too late to cry I love you.
The wind still blowing, my heart still aching
One side of my eyes see tomorrow,
And the other one see yesterday
I hope I could sleep in the cradle of your love, again
Cry for me, somebody, with dry eyes
The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real sorrow
It's not bad a life in the muddy river
If life is once
Hopeless hope, and the chance with traps
What is right, or wrong?
It's like a both side of a coin
How long I must live till I release?
The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real pleasure
All that glitters is not gold
The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real sorrow
It's not bad a life in the muddy river
If life is once
Again, that song was in Wutian.
"Ouch," Sephiroth said as he listened to the song and considered the timing. "Real Folk Blues…
"…Hey Yuffie, on the next song…would you like to dance?"
"Sure."
Luckily for him, the nest song was a slow dance. As he held her close, he couldn't help but notice she smelled of lilacs.
But as the song ended and went back to fast pace, some guards ran into the room. "Those two there, they were with him!"
"Grab them!"
"Time to run, Yuffie!"
They were almost to the door when two machines dropped down on them and bound then.
When one of the guards stepped up Sephiroth said, "Shit, I knew Dio was into some weird stuff, eccentric at most. But I never thought he would grab people from his park for bondage. Phh!"
He was hit in the stomach hard enough to knock the air from his lungs. "Was that necessary?"
"No."
They were over the door way leading to the Coral remains. "Look, go get Dio, there's been some kind of mistake."
"He was the one who ordered us to put the man with the gun arm and his companions down there."
"Well, shit," was all he could say before going down.
They landed next to each other but Sephiroth took a moment longer to get up because of his armor.
"Hey boys, fresh meat," was said a few feet away from them. As Yuffie got up, a man grabbed her. "And look what we have here. I bet this cute little thing had never even been kissed."
"I bet she's tight," one of them said.
"Let go of me you sick bastard!"
"Now why would we do that?" said the man with his arms wrapped around her. A knee to the crotch was his answer. "Bitch!" the man said before throwing her to the ground and kicking her.
"She wants you to leave her alone." It was said in the most dangerous voice they had ever heard.
Sephiroth had gotten up and was standing on his feet, unwavering, but his left arm hung limp and his left shoulder hurt like hell. And his right also hurt, just not as much.
"And if we don't?"
"I'll kill you two and put you through hell for what you've done to her."
"I doubt that. I bet you can't even lift the katana."
Sephiroth knew that was true but that wasn't his only weapon. His right hand went to his wakizashi at his hip.
"Like a short sword will do it."
"Then why not try your luck?"
The bastard smiled and said, "Let's get him, those diasho will give us food for a month."
One guy went for him and Sephiroth side stepped him and plunged the blade of the sword into his back and through his heart. As the body fell, Sephiroth ran forward. The blade then slit the throat of the third man.
"Just you left."
Seeing his friends die in a mere moment, he decided to run. Sephiroth threw the wakizashi and it went through the man's kidney and the man fell. Sephiroth walked over and put a boot on his back, keeping him down, and retrieved his blade.
"When I'm done, you'll be wishing for hell." The Dragon's Fang went into the right side of his chest, finding a lung.
"No… Sephiroth… just finish him."
As much as he wanted to go through with his threat, he listened to Yuffie. The Dragon's Fang came out and went through his heart.
"Did they seriously hurt you Yuffie?" Sephiroth said as he cleaned the blade and returned it to its sheath.
"No, I'm just a little sore. What about you?"
"I'm fine for now."
"Yeah, right, with your arm hanging like that, I doubt it."
"I don't care what you doubt; I care about are you well." He went over, picked her up, not caring about how much his arms hurt for it, and went in search of a place to rest. Everyone who watched gave him a wide lip.
"Hey, put me down!"
"Sure, when we're inside there."
Sephiroth pushed the door open and found everyone else already there; and Barret's gun smoking from just being fired. "Okay, what did we miss?"
"I want to know the same thing," Aeris said, eyeing them.
Sephiroth ignored that and put Yuffie on the couch. "Idiot! What if you hurt your arm even worst?"
"I'll be fine, it's just dislocated." I hope. "Go ahead and continue your discussion."
He walked over to the door frame, grabbed it with his left hand, and pulled. His teeth were clenched so hard that he thought that they would brake. He opened his mouth and took a deep breath. But his arm still hurt in the mid section. It was either cracked or broken.
"Anyway, to get out, we'll need to talk to Dyne. I'm going with Barret, who'll be the third member?" Cloud asked. "Sephiroth, can you fight?"
"No, I'm out of commission for now."
"I thought so," Yuffie said before sticking her tongue out at him.
"What's happened?" Tifa asked.
"When we were dropped, my arm was dislocated and broken, Yuffie was nearly raped. They didn't get close though."
"Do we want to know what you did to them?" asked Cait Sith
Sephiroth pulled out the wakizashi. "The two that were only planning to mug us died quickly. The third…" he let it hang at that.
"Then you're both staying here," Cloud said. "Tifa, you're with me. Aeris, can you mend his arm? Please do."
She placed her hands around the brake and used a cure 2. The crack closed and the bone was well on the way to being fixed. "That's all magic can do. Go easy on it for a few days."
After a few minutes, they heard a large amount of gun fire coming from north of them. "I guess they found who they were looking for." A little bit later, they came back and went up. Sephiroth was so bored that he kept readjusting the position of the Dragon's Claw and Fang. But when he heard a car horn, he ran out to see what was up. A buggy was there with a representative from Dio.
"I'm to give you Dio's personally apologies about the mix up and this. I do hope you'll give me a ride back to North Coral," the man said as he tossed the keys to Sephiroth.
"Get in the back. Hey, everyone, our ride out of here has arrived."
"About #$&& time!" yelled Barret as he jumped in.
"Good, the climate is drying out my nose," said Red XIII as he also got in.
"M' ladies, the car awaits," Sephiroth said to the three women.
