Yeah here's the fifth chapter. Sorry it came out a little late, I had stuff to do and school started. I'll try to update sooner but I have so much homework! Ugh. I'll keep working on it though :) Also, I gave the prologue of this to my teacher and she loved it! XD Anyways, I hope you enjoy this!

Kid's POV

I was walking up the stairs to tell Cloud to come down for dinner. Reaching the top, I turned left down the long, dark hallway. I continued down until I noticed a mirror had begun to ripple. Stopping in front of the mirror, I awaited what I knew was going to be my Father. Slowly, his image appeared before me.

"Wassap, wassap, wassap! How ya doing, Kiddo?" He asked merrily.

"Good, Father"

"How's our guest? Was he any trouble?"

"No, in fact I was just on my way to call him down for dinner."

"Good, good."

"Any word on Noah?"

At this my Father's jolly façade disappeared.

"Noah has continued to collect powerful beings using the Book of Eibon. Right now, we have Stein working on finding his current location. If not, we may have to infiltrate the book. This is going to be one tough battle."

"Infiltrate it…but how?"

"We require a witch's power. Black*Star and Tsubaki are working on it, there's no need to worry"

If it concerned Black*Star, there was plenty of need.

"You focus on getting Cloud to join our side. His soul is very powerful, and he will become a vital part of our team," he continued.

"Why would you send Black*Star? Why not me?" I frowned.

"They were already on her trail before notifying me. I believe they are tracking Eruka. You work with Cloud, I'm counting on you."

"…Alright, Father."

"Good night, Kiddo!" The façade was back. "Night" I said, as I watched the mirror fade back to my own reflection. I stared at myself for a bit, mainly the
three Lines of Sanzu that refused to stay connected. Turning around, I resumed my task of calling down Cloud. Liz and Patty would be waiting.

Walking down the hallway, I stopped outside Cloud's door. It was open a crack, so I slowly pushed it open.

"Cloud, dinner's ready" I called.

Opening the door further, something in Cloud's hand caught my eye. It was some sort of glowing orb, and on the floor was more; purple, green, blue, yellow, and red made up the pile.

"Do you not know how to knock?" he asked, rather annoyed at my intrusion.

"Sorry…but may I ask what those…things are?" I hadn't realized he was carrying anything with him.

"You don't know?" At this he grew very confused.

"It's called materia," he finished.

Materia?

"I have never heard of such a thing…what does it do?" I asked.

"Materia enables someone to use magic," he explained.

"So you are a witch!" I exclaimed.

"A what? I'm not anything. Without this, I wouldn't be able to use magic." Noticing my untrusting glare, he tried to explain;

"For example, this one," he held up a glowing green orb, "is Barrier. It resists physical attacks. If you use MBarrier instead, it'll protect against magic attacks."

Was he serious? If something like that was true, that would make our upcoming battle much easier…but there was one problem. Nothing like that even existed!

"Okay, who are you?" I interrogated.

Face yet again growing into one of confusion, he responded with "Cloud."

"No, I mean who are you really? Your soul feels strange and powerful, and whatever 'materia' is doesn't exist here. You also refuse to answer any of our questions on where you're from. So tell me, who are you?"

I watched as Cloud's face suddenly became very serious.

"You really wanna know?" he questioned me.

"Yes, I'm positive."

Sighing, he gestured beside me.
Closing the door, I walked forward and sat across from him on the bed.

"Now listen closely…"

Cloud's POV

Kid was sitting across from me on the bed, a mixture of understanding, confusion, shock, curiosity, and amazement on his face. I had told him all about materia, mako energy, the lifestream, Shin-Ra, Jenova, and Sephiroth. I had only intended to explain about materia, but one thing led to another, and soon enough I was telling him everything; from Zack's death all the way to my final battle with Sephiroth, which led to where I am right now. I looked back at Kid, who seemed like he was still trying to take everything in.

"Hey Kid, you doing alright?"

Shaking out of his trance, Kid looked at me, his face morphing back into the unemotional expression it usually was.

"Yeah…I think I get it now."
"Mhm"

It was quiet for a bit after this, until Kid spoke up again.

"So…let me get this straight. Sephiroth is still alive?"

"Unfortunately; I don't know if he's wrecking havoc or hiding somewhere, so I have to get back as soon as possible."

"I see. But if he's able to send you here, doesn't that mean he's able to come here himself?"

Oh crap.

I hadn't even thought of that! He could come here anytime he wanted to and ruin this place too, but…

"I highly doubt it" I said aloud.

Looking at me with confusion, Kid gestured for me to continue.

"Why would he need to be here? Everything he could possibly want is back in my world. I have no idea where this one came from, or how he got in contact with it. But he would never go here himself. Sephiroth was never one to waste time." I said with confidence.

"True…also, I was thinking about the materia. How much of it do you have? It would be tremendously useful in our upcoming battle." Kid had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Well, I had on a lot during my battle with Sephiroth, but not nearly enough for more than 3 or 4 people. But the more you use materia, the more of it there is. Materia grows."

"That's excellent! We must inform the others of this materia, and create lots for the upcoming battle!" Kid's eyes were gleaming.

Wait, what?

I wasn't planning on telling anybody else, or sharing my materia for that matter. I would be able to use and grow it personally, but I don't trust anyone else enough to let them use it…and they're not trained.

Sigh

Kid probably noticed I was reluctant, because he spoke up.

"Cloud, I know what you're thinking, but the others have to know."

I really didn't want anyone else to find out.
Kid knew this, so he continued;

"Think about it, Cloud. The materia will benefit us immensely. Do you even realize what it will do for us? And the others are very responsible. You need not worry about that. If we are trained in using it, there will be no problems. They don't need to know anything besides the materia."

I kind of realized I had no choice. But, my world…

Dilly dally shilly shally

I could have sworn I saw Aeris standing in front of me, reminded me not to worry about it for now. What mattered was the present. This world needed my help, and I was going to give it to them. Standing up, I looked at Kid. His face bore the same expression it usually did. But in his eyes I could see the look of determination I used to have when wanting to save the world from Shin-Ra and Sephiroth…

"Okay, I'll do whatever the hell you want me to. Now, whose ass are we kicking?"

Smirking, Kid stood up as well.

"You'll find out later. Now, Liz and Patty are probably furious at us for not coming down sooner, but were probably too scared to come up and get us. Let's go eat"

My stomach growled, agreeing. Nodding, I followed him out the door, into thedark hallway. It really suited Kid. Now that I thought about it, everything about Kid seemed dark. I still didn't fully understand him. He called that Lord Death, God, thing his Father. Was Kid his son? Then again, his full name was Death the Kid, so it made sense. But that meant I was talking to God's son. Ugh, this was hurting my head. I decided to forget about it and go eat. I could always ask him later.

Thank god I got the explaining out of the way! Well, not really, they have to tell the others :P But someone knows everything about Cloud! Aha, I hope you enjoyed that. I'll be working on the next one so that should be out within a week or so. Review please, the box is riiiight there! v
