-1The calm before the storm
When day came Kat was asleep in the guest room. Everyone was downstairs helping Aya. There wasn't much they could do besides patch her up and hope she woke up.
"Who was screaming last night?" Number 13 asked his head through the back door of the bar. He was to big to fit through the doorway.
"That was Kat. She was an experiment of Shin-ra's as well. We have no idea what is wrong with her." Tifa said drinking a cup of black coffee.
"When she got sick, was it just vomiting?" Number 13 asked.
"Yes, then she seemed to be getting better. But when you came she started having spasms." Vincent said listing her symptoms.
"Did Shin-ra inject a series of chemicals into her recently?" Number 13 asked stretching he neck in the door way a little further. Vincent tensed up.
"Yes, what does that have to do with her being sick?"
Number 13 shook his head and said.
"They were trying to suppress her powers. The chemical combination is close to a poison for the body. The body does what it can to get rid of the chemicals but they would already be in the blood stream. So the body starts to have spasms that it cant control. Then the chemicals do what they were meant to do or kill the person trying."
"What!" Tifa exclaimed. Vincent practically flew up the stairs to check on Kat. Everyone else was shocked, Cloud was the first to speak.
"How do you know this?"
"Because that's what Shin-ra did to me and many of the other experiments built for war. I was the only one to survive." Everyone was worried when Aya woke up. They turned to her. It took Aya a moment to remember what happened then she sighed.
"Oh thank god."
"What's to thank?" Cid growled. Aya looked at him them replied.
"Rufus, and Hojo are dead. So the plan to take over Earth is gone." They all starred at her Cid cussing up a storm.
"Aya, the new president of Shin-ra plans to continue all of the projects Rufus was doing." Tifa said. Aya bolted up.
"We have to go! We have to stop them from finding the portal!"
"Aya calm down! We cant go with Kat in her current state." Cloud said.
"What? Where is she?"
"Kat is in the guest room" Marlene said walking down stairs.
" but something is wrong. Vincent went in a locked the door, He said that she was out of control." Cloud, Tifa and Aya went upstairs. Marlene went to follow them but Cid kept her down there.
"I want to help." She complained.
"Kid if four people cant help Kat then you cant."
"Vincent unlock to door." Cloud said but he couldn't hear anything from the room but the sound of wind. He rammed the door till the lock broke and the door flew open slamming against the wall. Vincent was shaking Kat trying to get her to wake up. Everything in the room was blowing around like it was the open desert in a storm. Cloud , Tifa, and Aya started to make their way to the bed where Kat and Vincent were. They were having trouble staying balanced with the wind swirling around the small room. Bolts of blue lightning starting jumping around the room. They seemed to be coming from Kat but she didn't looked like she felt it. When the three got to the bed they saw that Kats eyes were partly open. The lightning was hitting everything in the room, then it all stopped. The wind and lightning was gone but there was a strange light coming from the window.
It was the same light that was in-between the worlds. Then they hit the other end of the portal. There was a loud booming sound as dust flew in the shattered window along with a steel beam thrown threw the wall tipping the bed over sending everyone into the middle of the room. Marlene screamed from downstairs and Tifa scrambled to get up. Once into the hallway there was debris all over the place. Tifa half slid down the stairs to find Cid pushing a wood beam off of himself and Marlene next to one of the bar stools. Number 13 had been forced into the back of the bar. Where he had been before there was a hole letting in pale light and a cold breeze. Tifa walked towards the light and was looking down about 3 stories at people gathered around the building. There were sirens going off all around. People were helping others get out of the building. There were police with megaphones telling people to back away and not to go back into the building. There was snow covering the ground and more was beginning to fall. Cloud made his way to Tifa and looked out in disbelief.
" But this is Kats world. The only portal was at the Northern Crater."
"What the hell do you mean this is Kats world?" Cid asked looking out.
"This is where Kat came from. Where me and Vincent disappeared for those months." Kat, Vincent, and Aya came down and looked out.
"Are you saying that Kat made a portal?" Aya asked helping Marlene get to Tifa.
"But that means that Shin-ra now has two portals to go through." Aya groaned.
"No, the portals need to be exactly alike on both ends," Kat said. "But I somehow brought the entire Seventh Heaven with us so there is no portal opening on the other end."
"We have more to worry about than portals right now." Number 13 said as a rescue worker found a way into the bar. He yelled when he saw Number 13.
"Don't fear me human." Number 13 said as more rescue workers came in. They all looked shocked at what they were seeing but ignored Number 13.
"Come on we need to get you out of here the building is collapsing." As the man said that the building shuddered and a groan came from the beams above separating the rescue workers from the rest of them.
"We have to help them!" Kat said as the building shuddered more. Number 13 pushed aside the steel beams and the rescue workers ran out and over to Tifa and Cloud.
"We have to jump." Cloud said to Tifa.
"Jump! Are you crazy we will all be killed." One of the rescue workers said.
"Get on my back humans." Number 13 said standing next to the opening in the building. People below screamed and pointed at him. The workers had no choice but to do what Number 13 said. Once they were on his back holding onto one of his horns he plunged out of the building holding on through windows and climbed down. Cloud picked up Marlene and jumped as well. Tifa, Kat, Vincent, Aya, and Cid were left.
"Come one lets go before we all fucking die." Cid said grabbing Aya's arm and jumping with her. Tifa jumped as well.
"Our best chance is to jump." Kat said watching as Tifa landed on her feet.
" Or we can fly." Chaos said picking Kat up and gliding down.
"Chaos how can you be in this world? The other portal wouldn't let your or Rage come through."
"I figure your portal was different from the first one. Not that it matters now." Chaos landed and instantly turned back into Vincent. ( note his hair is about ear length now it grows fast) People were shying away from Number 13 but the rescue workers were thanking him.
"Kat we have to get to Square Enix." Aya said as a reporting crew rounded the corner.
"Why?" Kat asked not really wanting to go.
"Shin-ra knows about the portal they are coming to this world to take over." Aya said desperate.
"Ok lets go." Kat said and was about to leave when a reporter grabbed her arm.
"Miss care to explain what happened today? Do you know what that blue dragon thing is?" Kat shook off the reporter and started running towards Square Enix main building.
"Number 13 we are going to the 10th floor." Aya said as she ran in the doors and to the stairs. The elevator was to slow for something this important. When they got to the 10th floor Number 13 was there with guards around him.
"Don't shoot him!" Kat yelled. The president looked over at the Final Fantasy characters that just entered his office.
"Don't move!" A guard said pointing his gun at Kat.
"Put your guns down. I am in no danger from them." The president said.
"Why did you come back?" He asked Kat.
"Shin-ra is planning on taking over this world" Kat said out of breath from the run up the stairs.
"How did you all get here?" He asked. Not dropping the topic that he interrogated Kat on last time.
"I opened a portal that destroyed itself ok?!" Kat said.
"Then why do you think Shin-ra can still come to this world?"
"There was more than one portal." Aya said. "I went through the existing one to find Kat and well Shin-ra found out about the portal and plan to bring an army through to take over."
"And why have you come to me about this?" The president asked bored.
"You are the one that made the Final Fantasy games! Cant you close to portal!?" Aya yelled.
"No I cant." The president said glaring at Aya.
"He didn't make the Final Fantasy. He just found it, he found a portal. That how he has been making the games. He cant control the portals he just found one by chance." Kat said glaring at him.
"Smart girl. No I didn't make the Final Fantasy world I just turned it into a game. That way everyone knew about it but no one would think that there was a way to go there. The portal I had found died off with some change in the receiving end of the portal. I haven't found another one since." There was a shudder as if a low flying jet was passing over head. Out the window an Air ship way traveling south of Mt. Fuji. Kat ran to the window and looked down at the street. There were regiments of SOLDIERs and other ranks of the Shin-ra army. There were Chocobo riders and other animals from Final Fantasy.
Kat and the others watched as some of Japans soldiers were shot down. The ranks of the Shin-ra army broke and the war began.
"We need to get down there." Number 13 said.
"Then lets go." Kat grabbed one of the guards guns. Vincent grabbed Kats waist and they dove out the window. Kat looked at Vincent as they fell knowing it might be the last time they were this close.
