A New Ally (Remake)
Sephiroth was fighting Hiro, who tried to dodge every strike the One Winged Angel threw at him. Of course, he was having a hard time, since Sephiroth was way stronger then him. Hiro quickly dodged the strike to his head, and he jumped back.
"What do you want from me Sephiroth!?" Hiro asked the One Winged Angel, who smiled.
"I want you dead.." Sephiroth said, and he tried to hit Hiro, but Hiro quickly jumped back.
"So it was you who summoned that Behemoth! I should of known! You just want me weak so I won't hurt you!" Hiro began to get cocky, and Sephiroth shook his head.
"I wanted to see how much you have grown. Apparently, not much." Sephiroth mocked Hiro, who glared at him.
"Why can't you just go back to hell where you belong! That would make everyone happy!" Hiro said, and Sephiroth chuckled.
"Are you sure everyone would? What about her?" Hiro's eyes widen, but he closed them quickly.
"Just shut up!" Hiro charged at Sephiroth, sword up in the air.
From afar, Aeris and Cloud watched, both shocked to see Hiro fighting Sephiroth head-on.
"Should we help him Cloud? He is having a hard time..." Aeris asked Cloud. Cloud was thinking if they should or not.
Should we? I mean, Hiro does have something against Sephiroth. What is it though? I should just let him fight.
"No, this is between Sephiroth and Hiro." Cloud said, though he did have some regret for the decison he just made.
"Are you sure? He looks like-" Aeris tried to get Cloud to just go help him, but Cloud shook his head.
"No, leave him alone. I'm sure Hiro can beat him." Cloud said. Please God let him.
Hiro tried to slash Sephiroth in the chest, but failed. Sephiroth threw a roundhouse kick at Hiro, but Hiro luckly jumped back. Hiro was breathing heavily, but he ignored his fatigue and pain, and he charged at Sephiroth again. Hiro tried to strike him again, but Sephiroth was to fast for the blonde. Sephiroth appeared beside him, and he hit Hiro with the pommel of his sword on his back. Hiro landed on the ground on his stomach. Sephiroth tried to stab him, but Hiro rolled to the side. Hiro jumped up and tried to slash Sephiroth, this time aiming for the head. Sephiroth caught his sword with his bare hand, surprising Hiro.
"Patheic." Sephiroth said, throwing Hiro back. Hiro was still standing up, and he charged again.
He tried to hit Sephiroth, but failed since Sephiroth used fire on him. It burned his arm, and Hiro ignored the pain.
"Ah!" Hiro yelled in pain, jumping back. He held his left arm, and Sephiroth narrowed his eyes.
"Give me Obilivon, I need it. Mother wants it." Sephiroth said, pointing his sword at Hiro, who was luckily was out of range for Sephiroth to cut him with it.
"That fool wants it?" Hiro mocked Jenova, and Sephiroth growled.
"Don't you dare insult Mother." Sephiroth warned Hiro. Hiro chuckled.
"So Jenova wants Obilivon huh Sephiroth?" Hiro said, and Sephiroth nodded.
"Yes. She wants it." Sephiroth said. Hiro chuckled again, and he smirked afterward.
"Well.."
A part of his left arm glowed, and it was a black color.
"What the-" Sephiroth was surprised. Hiro quickly dropped his sword, and held his wrist. He pointed his hand at Sephiroth, and smirked. "What are you doing?" Sephiroth asked the young blonde, who smirked.
"Something I should of done years ago! OBILIVON!" A giant black ball appeared, and he shot the black ball at Sephiroth, hitting he stomach. It sent Sephiroth back a couple of feet. He held his stomach, blood coming out of it like a waterfall. He glared at Hiro.
"I will get revenege boy..but before I go.." Sephiroth charged foward and stabbed Hiro in the stomach a bit, making him puke out some blood. Sephiroth stepped back, and disappeared through a black portal.
Hiro felt dizzy and hot. The last two battles wore him out. He fell to the ground, holding the wound that Sephiroth gave him. Cloud and Aeris quickly ran over to him.
"What was that big black ball Hiro made?" Aeris asked Cloud, who shook his head.
"I do not know. Is he alright?" Cloud asked Aeris, who nodded.
"Yes, I will heal him when we get back to the inn." Aeris said, and Cloud nodded. Cloud picked Hiro up, and put him on his back. "Kid is pretty light.." Cloud said, and Aeris smiled.
"Well, he does look pretty fit."
Later, at the inn.
Hiro was laying in a bed, and Aeris was healing him. Everyone was in the room, expect Yuffie, who disappeared after learning that Hiro was found. After ten minutes of being healed, Hiro opened his eyes. He got up, and he put his hand on his head.
"What happen?" Hiro asked us.
"You got in a fight with Sephiroth, and apparently you lost." Cloud said, and Hiro sighed.
"Yea. I remember now. Thanks for healing me Aeris." Hiro said to the flower girl, who smiled.
"You're welcome." Aeris said happily. Hiro looked around, noticing someone was missing.
"Hey, where is Yuffie?" Hiro asked, looking around.
"We don't know." Tifa said, and Red sighed, making everyone to look at him.
"I'll go look for her. You don't have to worry." Red said, walking out of the room.
When he left, Hiro sighed. "I'm burning up." Hiro said, and Barret sighed.
"Probably because of the Shinra suit your wearing. People have been looking at you oddly since we came here." Barret said, and Hiro gasped.
"Oh. I need to take this off. Hey Cloud, where is my bag?" Cloud threw him a small black bag, and Hiro caught it.
"Alright, hold on." Hiro stood up, and walked into the bathroom. After about ten minutes later, Hiro reappeared. He wore a black T-shirt, and a pair of dark blue jeans, with a rip on the right knee cap. He also wore a gold necklace, with a red ruby in the middle of it.
"How do you like my look?" Hiro asked them, smirking. Everyone laughed a bit.
Hiro laughed a bit, and he sat down at a couch. His smile the disappeared, and he sighed. He leaned back. "It's all my fault that Yuffie is gone." Hiro said.
Aeris shook her head. "Don't blame yourself." Hiro didn't say anything for awhile.
Bugenhagen's
"Can I ask you something personal?" Yuffie asked the old man, who nodded.
"What is it you want to know?" Bugenhagen asked the young ninja.
"Have you ever known someone who liked someone, but the other person hated them? Though they would never give up to get that certain someone?" Yuffie asked the oldman, and Bugenhagen shook his head.
"Honestly, I do not child." Little did they both know, Red was hiding, listening to their conversation.
"Well, do you know Hiro Aoyama?" Yuffie asked Bugenhagen, who nodded.
"Yes, the kind lad?" Yuffie scoffed, surprising Bugenhagen.
"Yea, well, the guy likes me. I don't know why." Yuffie said, and Bugenhagen smiled.
"Oh really? Why don't you give the lad a chance? He is a real kind boy and he-" But he was cut off by Yuffie, who glared at him.
"Hell no! I wouldn't date that bastard!"
"How dare you use that kind of language infront of my grandfather!" Red appeared infront of Bugenhagen, and Yuffie gasped.
"Red! Were you here the whole time!?" Yuffie asked the animal, who nodded.
"Yes, but still, how dare you use that kinda language infront of him!" Red yelled at Yuffie.
"Nanaki, calm down!" Bugenhagen tried to calm his 'grandson', but Red shook his head.
"No! I will not tolerate Yuffie's behaivor!" Red said, and Yuffie sighed.
"Why are you here anyway?!" Yuffie said, and Red glared at her.
"Everyone was worried about you. Especially Hiro." Red said, and Yuffie smirked.
"Tell the others I will be back in a bit, and tell Hiro he can go to hell-"
"OW!"
Red had bit her hand, making her jump back. Blood was coming out of the marks on her hand.
"RED!" Yuffie held on to her hand, and she was surprised.
"Nanaki!" Bugenhagen was also surprised, and Red spit out some of the blood he got.
"She deserved it!" Red said, running out of the building. He had to get back to the inn and tell everyone.
"I..I need some fresh air." Yuffie said. Yuffie ran out of the building too, but to go somehwere else.
When Red made it to the inn, he told everyone the events.
"I think I saw Yuffie running to the city gate. I don't know why. I think she said before I left she needed fresh air." Red said. Everyone was silent, and Hiro stood up.
"I'm going to go look for her."
Yuffie
Yuffie sighed while looking at her hand. She had wrapped it with some cloth she had. "Why did Red bite me? Was it something I said?" Yuffie asked herself. "Was it because I wanted him to tell Hiro to go to hell? Why? He doesn't know what it is like to live as a disgrace. I couldn't protect all the materia for Wutai.." Yuffie said to herself, remembering the materia being stolen.
"And it is all Hiro's fault. He shouldn't of just came in and steal all of the materia!" Yuffie said, but then she was deep in thought. But what if he had a special reason? Yuffie thought. She then shook her head.
"He still had no right!" Yuffie told herself that she shouldn't forgive him.
"Yuffie!" said a voice. Yuffie turned around to see Hiro, who was breathing heavily.
"Thank God I found you.." Hiro said, and Yuffie sighed.
"What do you want?" She asked, her voice filled with annoyance.
"Well, we were worried about you. I heard about that little incident with Red.." Hiro said, and Yuffie narrowed her eyes.
"He had no right to bite me." She was about to say it was his fault, but to her surprise, Hiro sighed.
"Yea, you're right. He didn't have a right to bite you." Hiro said, and he looked into her eyes.
"Listen, I want to say I am sorry for what happened years back." Hiro said, and Yuffie scoffed.
"Yea right. You just wanted to make me a disgrace because I tried to stop you! You didn't even leave one materia for Wutai!" Yuffie yelled at the blonde, who remained calm.
"Yuffie.."
"No! I'm not talking to you anymore!!" Yuffie said, slapping him, then running off.
Hiro was sort of stun by her act, but he sighed. He already got use to her slaps.
She was running out of the canyon. "Might as well follow her.." Hiro said, running to follow the young ninja. Why he ran, he was busy thinking.
I wonder what is the matter with her? I didn't mean to do what I did four years ago. It was..for their sake. Hiro thought to himself, remembering they events that happened four years ago.
Hiro finally caught up with Yuffie, but he quickly hid behind a rock when he saw a man infront of Yuffie. He wore mostly red, and he was sort of overweight. He had a strange blonde hairdo, but Hiro was ignoring that. He was worried for Yuffie. He listened to their conversation.
"Why, hello my dear, what is a beautiful flower like you doing out here? Are you running to me?" The fat man asked Yuffie, who scoffed.
"Yea right, like I would be running to you. Now, if you excuse me-" She was about to walk off before the man blocked her path.
"Oh, come on baby. Don't you want to have a little fun with me?" The man asked.
"Ew! No!" Yuffie said, about to walk away. The man once again blocked her path.
"You can't deny it, I know you want me! I'm one of the most powerful men in the world, Don Corneo!" Hiro knew that name, many people said the man was a pervert.
"No! You know what, I'm leaving!" Yuffie said, about to turn around.
Don Corneo grabbed her arm. "Oh no! You will not leave me!" Don pushed her to the ground, and pulled out a pistol. He placed it to her head, and smiled evily.
"Now, you will be my bride, and we will have fun every single night of my life! You will know nothing but pleasure!" Don said, and Hiro noticed fear in Yuffie's eyes.
"Now, let's have some fun!" Don said, but Hiro would not allow it. He appeared infront of Don and knocked the gun out of his hands. Hiro then punched him in the face, knocking him back a couple of feet.
"If you ever touch her again, I will kill you." Hiro threatened the former crime boss of lower Midgar. Don growled.
"How dare you! I should kill you boy!" Don said, but then gasped when he looked at the boy.
"Wait..I know you! You were that boy who almost won that tournment four years ago!" Don said, and Hiro smirked.
"That's right, I suggest you get ready, cause I'm not going to go easy on you."
"I don't have time for this, though I know I am no match for you.." Don said, and Hiro smirked.
"RAPPS!" Hiro was about to slash him, but a giant, strange bird appeared infront of him. It tried to hit Yuffie and him with it's beak, but Hiro quickly grabbed her and jumped back.
"Let go of me!" Yuffie hissed, and Hiro did.
"Go hide..I got this.." Hiro said, and Yuffie shook her head.
"No! I can take care of this myself!" Yuffie tried to sound confident, but Hiro knew she was lying.
"Go, now." Hiro commanded, and he pushed Yuffie back. Yuffie gasped when she hit the ground, and she looked up. Rapps made a bird shriek, and Hiro smirked.
"So you want to fight me? Well, I'll go easy on you." Hiro mocked, and the bird tried to hit Hiro with it's strange tail, but it missed when Hiro jumped to the side.
Hiro began to cast many spells on the bird, which shrieked with each attack. Hiro jumped up, and slashed the first wing, making a giant cut. The bird shrieked again, and Hiro appeared infront of it.
"That screeching is giving me a headache..." Hiro said, jumping up again, and cutting the monster's left wing off.
It fell to the ground, and blood poured everywhere.
"You know what, I'm getting bored, so I'm just going to kill you." Hiro said, pointing his left hand at the monster.
"FLARE!" The bird caught on fire, and it shrieked one more time before falling on the ground, and it died quickly. Hiro sighed, and he put his sword back in it's sheath.
"Thank God.." Hiro said, and he turned back around.
"Hey, are you okay? Sorry I had to push you." Yuffie got back up.
"Don is finally gone. I suppose he ran off-"
SMACK
Hiro stood there, annoyed by Yuffie hitting him."Yuffie I'm pretty use to this by now...."
"I could of taken care of myself you fool! I'm a ninja from Wutai!" Yuffie yelled at him, and Hiro just stood there, taking the verbal abuse. He listened, his arms crossed.
"You can just go to hell!" Yuffie yelled at him, and she turned around. She ran back to Cosmo Canyon.
Hiro was still standing there, and he looked down.
I saved her life, and this is how she repays me. That man was about to rape her. Hiro thought to himself. I guess she really does hate me, I might as well just go. Hiro thought. He ran out of the canyon, and decided to never return to see Avalance. Maybe it was the best choice, considering that he couldn't get along with her.
Two hours later, at Gongaga
Hiro sat down down near the entrance of Gongaga. Of course, no one saw him. Hiro sighed. "This sucks." He said, as he put his head down. "Now I have nothing to do." Hiro said, and all of a sudden, a voice was heard.
"Yo."
Hiro looked up to see a man with blue hair, that was pretty wild. (It looks like Zack's in Crisis Core.) He had green eyes, and he wore a black shirt, with a black cloak on. He wore blue jeans, and black sneakers.
"What's up with you dude?" The blue haired guy asked Hiro, who sighed.
"Nothing. You don't have to worry man." Hiro said, and the guy smirked.
"It doesn't seem like nothing. But oh well. May I ask you your name?" The guy asked, and Hiro nodded.
"My name is Hiro, what's yours?" Hiro asked the boy, who smirked.
"Names Arxen, nice to meet ya." Arxen said.
"Nice to meet you too Arxen." Hiro said, standing up. Arxen noticed the sword that Hiro had.
"Nice sword." Arxen said, and Hiro smirked.
"Thanks. What kinda weapon do you use?" Hiro asked Arxen. In a flash, Arxen took out two swords, which was put together. It was short. He took the two blades, and put his hand on the strange hilt that held it together. He made it longer. "What the hell is that?" Hiro asked, and Arxen smirked.
"It's the double blade. Its pretty cool huh?" Hiro nodded. "Yea, that is cool."
"So why you here in this boring village? I hate it here..no friken women!" Arxen said, laughing, as Hiro did as well.
"Well, I ran away from this group. Someone hates me for a reason that happened four years ago." Hiro explained.
"Sucks dude..." Arxen said, sitting across from Hiro. "I'm here cause I can't take my bullshit of a family. You know? Friken annoy the hell out of me. Families...abusive, to caring, not letting us free." Arxen said, and Hiro shook his head.
"I wouldn't know, I don't have a family. Never knew my real parents." Hiro explained.
"Oh man, sorry about bringing it up. But hey, you're lucky." Arxen said, smiling. "Not knowing what it's like...being forced into dumbshit."
"Haha, I guess you're right!" Hiro laughed.
The two talked for hours, as the day began to become sunset. Arxen and Hiro got to know each other, they were like in so many ways. As they talked, Hiro was shocked to hear a voice.
"Hiro!"
Hiro looked to his right to see Avalance, which took Hiro by surprise.
"W-What the? What are you guys doing here?" Hiro said, and Aeris ran up to him. She hugged him, and after that, hit him in the head.
"You idoit! You worried all of us!" Aeris said, and Arxen took a step back. He rather not be in this conversation.
"Why did you run off Hiro, you worried all of us." Red said, and Hiro sighed.
"It's nothing..I-" Cloud narrowed his eyes.
"Something happened between you and Yuffie right?" Yuffie, who was standing behind of Cloud, gasped. Hiro was surprised as well.
"Well...yea." Hiro replied.
"What happened?" Tifa asked, and Yuffie glared at him.
"He fought some monster to 'protect' me, even though he knew I could beat that thing by myself! And some guy named Don Corneo tried to kidnap me, and Hiro 'protected' me." She said the word protect as though it was poison. Cloud sighed deeply.
So the dumb pervert's back...huh?
"Yuffie, you looked like you were in trouble. Don had a gun to your head and you were on the ground! What else was I suppose to do?" Hiro asked the ninja.
"Alright. I think I get it." Aeris said, and everyone turned to her."You protected Yuffie, and she felt as though you were just doing that to impress her. Though you were really trying to protect her, right Hiro?" Aeris asked the blonde, who nodded.
"Yes. Don ran away, and he summoned some giant bird named Rapps. I killed it though." Hiro said, and Aeris nodded.
Cloud shot a glare at Yuffie, who sighed. "Anyway, who is this?" Aeris pointed to Arxen, and Hiro smiled.
"This is Arxen." Hiro said, and Arxen smiled.
"Yo." He said. Apparently that was his favorite greeting.
"Well, nice to meet you Arxen. Anyway, we have to go. Come on Hiro." Cloud said, but Hiro shook his head.
"Can Arxen join us?" Hiro asked Cloud. Cloud stopped in his tracks, and he turned back around.
"You want Arxen to join us?" Arxen just stood there confused.
"Yea. I'm sure he is capable of fighting. He won't get in the way of anything. I'll make sure of that." Hiro said, and Cloud looked at Arxen. He was studying Arxen, then he nodded. He never did that for Hiro or Cait Sith, so he finally decided to do it.
"Alright. Arxen, you can tag along if you want." Cloud said, and Arxen smirked.
"Ok." Arxen said, and Hiro smiled. "Nice to have you on the team." Hiro said, and Arxen nodded.
"I'm proud to be on the team." Arxen said.
"Anyway, how old are you Arxen?" Aeris asked.
"Oh, I'm seventeen." Arxen said, and Hiro smirked. "Same age." Hiro said, and Arxen chuckled.
"Anyway, do you have a family?" Aeris asked. Arxen nodded.
"Yea, but they are way far from here. I hated living with them. So, I came here in hopes to get away. I succeded." Arxen said. "I'm a only child too."
"Enough with the trivia questions, we have to keep going." Cloud said, and everyone nodded.
Later..
As they walked across giant plains, Hiro was staring at Yuffie. Yuffie didn't notice of course, looking at materia. Arxen was confused why Hiro was looking at her.
"He likes her." Aeris blurted out, and Arxen looked at her.
"Really?" He asked, and Aeris nodded, then made a deep sigh.
"Yea..but Yuffie apparently 'hates' him. But deep down, I think she likes him. Hiro tries to get her, but she always releases some anger on him. Apparently, that's what triggered Hiro into running away for a bit." Aeris explained, and Arxen looked at Hiro. He notice Hiro blush every once and a while. When Yuffie would look that direction, Hiro would take his eyes away from her. When she turned to the oppostie direction, Hiro would look again.
I gotta hook them up. Arxen thought.
Arxen then noticed Yuffie catching him. She narrowed her eyes, and Hiro quickly turned his head away. Arxen chuckled.
"We gotta hook them up." He told Aeris, who nodded.
"Yea, I think they would make a good couple." Aeris said.
"Yo Hiro." Arxen got the attention of the blonde boy, who walked up between him and Aeris.
"Whats up?" He asked, and Arxen smirked.
"Want to have a sparring match? Just me and you sometime?" Arxen asked, and Hiro smirked.
"Alright..can't wait."
Everyone walked in silence, until Hiro spotted something.
"Wait a second." Hiro said, stopping the others. As he studied it, his eyes widened.
"Wait..no..that can't be, Nibelheim!?" Hiro said, suprised. Tifa and Cloud were just as shocked.
"That was suppose to be-" Before Cloud finished, Hiro finished for him.
"Burnt down." Hiro finished, and everyone gasped.
"Yea, your right." Cloud said, and Hiro clutched his fist.
"Sephiroth burnt down Nibelheim. He was to obessed with whatever it was..but that bastard.." Hiro didn't finish.
"Whats the matter Hiro?" Tifa asked the blonde.
"That..bastard. I was there. I was there at Nibelheim." Hiro explained.
"What? You were there?" Cloud was surprised.
"Yea. You see. When Zek and I were there, Sephiroth attacked. Zek tried to hold him off, but failed. He was injured to badly, and Sephiroth was about to finish him off. I took Zek's sword, and I tried to fight Sephiroth myself. But I was to weak back then, and Sephiroth defeated me easily. That was the day I got the materia from Sephiroth. Also, Sephiroth is the reason I have this scar." Hiro ran his hand across the scar, which went across his right eye, straight down. His hand flinched a bit as he softly rubbed it.
"A year later, no one could heal Zek's wounds, and he died." Hiro explained, and everyone remained silent.
"But right now, that isn't important. What is important is that we go to Nibelheim and see what is up." Hiro said, and everyone nodded.
I wonder what she is doing right now..
