Chapter 22: Sibling Rivalry

It was round about two o clock in the afternoon when Emily had finally woken up. Back when she was living with Drogo and her grandfather she was forced to wake up at the crack of dawn, however since she started living on her own she soon broke out of the habit. She threw the covers off her and crawled slowly out of bed and got changed, she walked over to the wardrobe and took out her dual wheeler, she hadn't used it since she fought against Rosso, Nero and Azul in the Mount Nibel reactor. She looked at herself in the mirror and she sighed sadly.

"I never thought I'd actually miss home so much," she thought to herself as she grabbed a hair brush and started to brush her head spines getting them into their usual style, she grabbed her ribbon from the dressing table and she tied up the top most spine into a short pony tail. She took one last look at herself in the mirror before she grabbed her dual wheeler again and she walked out of the room. She proceeded down the corridor and out into the grounds hoping to get some practice in, she saw that the grounds were completely deserted. Emily sighed but she began to practice nevertheless, she swung her weapon round above her head with amazing skill. She swiftly brought it round behind her and spun it round like a windmill bring the dual wheeler round in front of her as she spun it at top speed. She thrust it out in front of her quickly and then she brought it over her head and around behind her when she felt one of the blades clash against something.

"Huh?" Emily uttered as she quickly whirled round to find herself face to face with Drogo. He held one of his katanas out in front of him and the blades of both weapons were grinding against each other.

"You're skills have improved," Drogo remarked as Emily pulled her dual wheeler away from Drogo's katana she leapt a few paces away from him and she held her weapon behind her.

"Thanks," she muttered gratefully, "I was just practising, you never know when they might show up again."

Drogo nodded, "mind if I practise with you?" he asked, a playful smirk on his face.

"Not at all," Emily replied as Drogo unsheathed his other katana and got into a fighting stance. "Maybe I can give you a few pointers," she replied slyly.

"Heh," Drogo laughed when he heard this, "not likely," he replied arrogantly as he leapt forwards with his katanas thrust out in front of him. Emily quickly spun her dual wheeler round in front of her and thrust it forwards with all her might and both weapons clashed with an almighty clang. Emily rotated her dual wheeler as Drogo moved his katanas out of the way and thrust them forwards again to clash with the other blade of Emily's weapon. "Face it Emily!" Drogo goaded as he quickly ducked and dodged to the side to avoid Emily's overhead attack. "A dual wheeler is nowhere near as good two katanas!"

"You wish!" Emily retorted as she spun her dual wheeler round like a windmill to deflect Drogo's lightning fast attacks. "You always used to say that!"

Drogo laughed as he and Emily leapt into the air and they began exchanging blows at an exhilarating speed the clashing of the blades could be heard from miles around. "You were so easy to wind up then!" He joked over the sound of the clanging metal, "you still are!" He soon regretted that remark when Emily roundhouse kicked him square in the jaw. He fell to the ground and moved out of the way just in time as Emily lunged at him and dug her blade into the ground where his body was a few seconds before. She quickly pulled her weapon out of the ground and pointed it at Drogo who was still lay on the ground. "Owww…" Drogo managed to utter as he relocated his jaw, "Shit!" Drogo cursed as he staggered to his feet, "did you have to kick me that hard?"

Emily grinned as Drogo picked up his katanas and held them out in front of him. "Well you were winding me up, like you used to…Dualist!" Emily remarked jokingly as Drogo scowled at her.

"Yeah," Drogo replied, "I remember on our 9th birthday, you kicked me through a tree because I stole your slice of cake when you weren't looking. Your kicks hurt even back then."

"And I've become even stronger since then," Emily replied proudly as she and Drogo lunged at each other again at top speeds running, dodging and leaping round the grounds as metal clashed against metal. Even though Drogo and Emily had a fierce rivalry, they would never harm each other and if a real battle situation ensued they would fight to protect one another. "So you'd better watch it!"

"I know," Drogo agreed as he threw one of katanas into the air and created a fireball in his hand. (A/N, Drogo is an elementalist, meaning that he can control fire, water, earth and air. Emily is also an elementalist.) He threw the fireball in Emily's direction but she quickly deflected it by spinning her dual wheeler, Drogo then caught his katana as it fell and he resumed his normal fighting style. "I hope to never be on the receiving end of one of your kicks again!"

Emily laughed when she heard this, "Don't wind me up then!" She commented as she leapt to the side and parried Drogo's attack. They continued in that fashion for sometime and after a while they started to get an audience.

Sunny stood there watching as the two siblings fought one another holding nothing back. Reno came up behind her and watched the twins with his arms folded and an amused expression on his face. Neither of them spoke for sometime but after a while Reno looked at Sunny, "Aren't you worried about them?" He asked as he saw Emily and Drogo get knocked backwards by the sheer force of their attacks.

Sunny shook her head and smiled at Reno, "No," she replied, "I know that they'd never hurt each other, as far as I know they've been rivals since they were kids."

Reno laughed, "so there's no love lost between them," he joked and Sunny laughed at this, "me and Rude used to be rivals when we were training to be Turks," Reno told Sunny, "now look at us, we're inseparable."

"I know, it's like Drogo and Emily, they were inseparable when they were kids, and they're inseparable now."

"That's twins for ya," Reno replied as he and Sunny continued to watch the battle. "Apparently, they have a special bond between them."

"Drogo and Emily definitely have that," Sunny agreed, "Drogo was devastated when he thought that Emily was dead, he even blamed himself."

"Wasn't that the reason he drank in the first place?" Reno asked as he turned to look at Sunny again.

Sunny nodded, "that and one of the thieves he was living with gave him a sip of Deadly Nightshade after a heist. Drogo had been hooked on the stuff since, of course he turned his life around."

"So," Reno asked as he looked back at Drogo and Emily fighting, "who do you think is gonna win?"

"I don't know," Sunny replied as she too turned her head round to look at Drogo and Emily, still exchanging blows, neither was willing to back down. "They've both improved since the last time they met and they're stubborn too."

Reno and Sunny continued to watch Drogo and Emily in silence as the two hedgehogs continued their dual. "You…tired…yet…" Drogo panted as he continued to trade blows with Emily but as time got on, (A/N, even though I haven't specified how long they've been fighting for, it has been for about two or three hours. Yes, Drogo and Emily can fight against each other for that long.) both their strikes became slower.

"No…" Emily panted back, even though she was tired she refused to admit it and she certainly didn't back down, "you know…you can quit…anytime…you…want…"

"And…let you…beat me…ha!" Drogo laughed as he and Emily continued to trade blows at a slowly decreasing rate. "I…refuse…to…lose to a girl," Drogo then grinned as he said his next comment, "even if she is my sister!"

"You take that back!" Emily yelled as she and Drogo fought with renewed energy and vigour. They leapt and dodged around so fast that they could barely be seen. After half an hour had gone by, Barret, Cid, Max, Cloud, Zack, Aerith, Tifa (Yes, they all got back while Drogo and Emily were fighting) and Lance arrived and saw them still fighting.

"Are those two S.O.Bs still at it?" Cid asked as he took out a box of cigarettes, he got out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He then reached into his pocket for his lighter, but he couldn't find it and he frantically felt his jacket for his lighter. "Bloody Hell!" Cid cursed at the top of his lungs, "has anyone got a lighter? I seem to have misplaced mine again!"

Barret shook his head and rolled his eyes, "again," he muttered sarcastically, as Cid glared at him. "I thought you were trying to quit."

"I was," Cid replied irritably, "but those damn nicotine patches itch like hell! AND I HAVEN'T HAD A GOD DAMN CIGARETTE FOR THREE BLOODY DAYS NOW!" Zack suddenly burst out laughing and Cid glared at him, "And what are you laughing at spiky?!"

Zack's grin grew wider, "Oh yeah, I remember you trying those nicotine patches, I think you're expression was a little something like this." Zack transformed into an exact copy of Cid. (A/N, when he transforms into a copy of another human, his hair and eye colour change to the colour of that person's hair and eyes. It's only when he transforms into an animal that his hair and eye colour remain the same.) "Oh damn these nicotine patches!" Zack cursed in Cid's voice as he scratched his arm frantically. "Why do I have to wear them? They itch like bloody hell!" Cid glared at Zack, but Zack ignored him, "Damn it! That's over thirty patches and I've still got the cravings! Hey Shera!" Zack shouted to no one in particular. "I think there's some space left on my butt!"

"Get out of it you!" Cid yelled as Zack changed back into his normal form still grinning inanely at the pilot.

"Damn," Zack continued to joke, "I almost wish I had a camera, that was a real Kodak moment." Aerith glowered at Zack, "what?" he asked as he shrugged his shoulders. "Don't tell me you didn't find that funny when we saw Cid with all those nicotine patches on him."

"Oh I did," Aerith said as she tried hard not to laugh, "but Cid really is trying to quit."

"Yeah," Zack replied. "…Bullshit…" he managed to disguise it as a cough causing Aerith to give him another evil stare. "Anyway…" he changed the subject, "who do you think's gonna win?"

No one answered him as they didn't even know themselves who was going to win. They all watched in silence as Drogo and Emily were still fighting against each other, furiously exchanging blows and it wasn't long before they both began to tire again. Emily knocked Drogo out of the air causing him to slam back first into the ground, a blade was pointed at his stomach and Drogo looked up to see Emily stood over him pointing her dual wheeler at him looking exhausted but she had a triumphant smile on her face.

"Ok, ok," Drogo admitted his defeat, "you win, this time…"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Emily demanded as she glared at him.

"Well you obviously cheated," Drogo responded as Emily moved her weapon away and Drogo staggered to his feet, "how else could you have beaten me?"

Emily glared at Drogo and she raised her hand in an attempt to slap him but she thought better of it. "Ha!" She scoffed, "I can beat you anytime I want, what happened now just proved it."

"I know, I know," Drogo said by way of an apology, "but I'll beat you next time." Drogo sheathed his katanas and Emily sheathed her dual wheeler, and it wasn't long before everyone else walked off to do their own thing and eventually Drogo, Emily and Sunny were in the grounds on their own. "You gotta admit that was a good fight right Emily…Emily?" Emily didn't respond, she turned her back on Drogo and Sunny and walked off. Drogo and Sunny looked at each other and they ran after Emily, they found her sat on a bench with her head hung down and her shoulders were hunched, she looked upset and depressed. Drogo looked at Sunny who nodded and he walked up to her. "Emily?" He asked trying to get his sister's attention.

"Huh?" She turned her head round and she saw Drogo standing behind her, "oh, Drogo, I was just…"

"Wandering off," Drogo finished her sentence off, "do you mind if I sit down?" Emily shook her head and Drogo sat down next to her. "What's wrong?" He asked his voice was filled with concern.

"Nothing…" she replied quickly, Drogo gave her a sceptical stare.

"Come on sis," Drogo responded, when it came to the people he knew he was like a living lie detector. "I know you, you were fine before and all of a sudden you become depressed. What's wrong?"

Emily sighed and she looked at Drogo, "do you miss home?" She asked.

Drogo nodded, "yeah, of course I do," he answered, "we all do, but we can't leave now. The rest of the teleportation devices need to be fixed and we need to help Cloud and the others protect their world."

"I know," Emily replied, "I guess I'm just being silly."

"No you're not," Drogo reassured her, "it's ok to miss home, but you can't let it get in the way of what's important and right now saving Cloud's world is more important than finding a way home."

"I know," Emily replied, "don't worry about me, I'll be fine." She smiled at Drogo and tried to be reassuring but Drogo knew the truth. However he also knew how stubborn Emily was and when she became unresponsive Drogo stood up and he walked back to Sunny with a sigh.

"What are we gonna do?" Drogo asked Sunny sadly, "she really misses home, I mean we all do but…" Drogo trailed off, Sunny knew what he was going to say next, she looked back at Emily and then back at Drogo again.

"Hey!" Sunny said cheerfully, "I think I know what we can do to cheer her up." Sunny whispered in Drogo's ear and he smiled at her.

"Sunny, that's a great idea," he replied and he soon cheered up. Drogo and Sunny walked back over to Emily. "Hey Emily!" Drogo called out to her, Emily looked up and she saw Drogo and Sunny stood in front of her. "Me and Sunny were gonna go for a drive round the Eastern Continent, see some of the sights, we were wondering if you wanted to come with us. It'll help take your mind off things."

Emily thought about this for a while, Drogo was right a change of scene would do her good and it would help her to take her mind off the homesickness she felt. She smiled at Drogo and Sunny, "sure," she answered and she stood up, "I'd like that."

Drogo, Sunny and Emily made their way to the cargo area of the Sierra and fifteen minutes later they were driving along the plains in the street car that Drogo had won a while back. They knew that the only places further East of Kalm were Edge and Midgar and considering they were no go areas at that moment in time they decided to go further East until they were off the rocky roads of the Midgar plains and were driving on open country, they drove passed the Chocobo farm and Drogo remembering his previous experience with a Chocobo decided to drive straight passed despite Sunny's protests.

"Awwwww…" Sunny moaned at Drogo, "why can't we stop there and see the Chocobos?"

"Because," Drogo answered without looking at her, "I remember the last time I rode on a Chocobo and my nether regions were aching for days after being hit twice by that saddle."

Emily burst out laughing when she heard this, "you're nether regions got hit, oh I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this!"

Drogo glared at Emily through the rear view mirror, "thanks Emily," he muttered, "just what I need, my own twin sister laughing at me."

"Oh lighten up," Emily said she was trying hard not to laugh again. The car screeched to a halt when it approached the marsh area and the three hedgehogs got out of the car and looked around. "What is this place?" Emily asked as she looked around her.

"Hmmm," Drogo thought as he looked around him, "I remember Tifa telling me about this place, she said something about a monster dwelling here but I can't remember what it is."

Emily and Sunny weren't listening, they walked over to the marsh itself and stood near the edge of it and looked out. The wet ground bubbled slightly but they didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "There's something a little creepy about this place," Sunny said to Emily, "but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Hmmm," Emily thought about what Sunny was saying, "you may be right, why don't we take a closer look?" Emily slowly took a pace forward and placed the tip of her foot into the water, and then sensing that it was safe she stepped into the marsh and took a few paces forwards. "Come on!" She called out to Drogo and Sunny, "it's perfectly safe." Emily was about to walk a few more paces when she heard a low rumbling sound from the ground beneath her.

"What was that?" Sunny asked as she looked out into the marsh and she saw the ground vibrate as the rumbling grew louder.

Drogo walked up next to her, "I don't know, but it doesn't sound good," it was at that moment that he remembered what creature dwelled in the marsh. "Emily!" Drogo called out his sister's name and he ran out into the marsh and he grabbed hold of Emily's hand and dragged her away just in time as a giant serpentine creature emerged from the marsh with an almighty roar which rumbled through the ground like an earthquake causing Drogo and Emily to almost lose their balance and they were staring into the eyes of the monster.

"What is that thing?!" Emily asked, her voice shook with fear.

"Tifa told me about this thing," Drogo answered as he unsheathed his katanas, "it's called a Midgar Zolom, it dwells in the marshes and waits for unsuspecting prey then POW! It strikes."

Emily unsheathed her dual wheeler and she stood along side Drogo, "I guess the only way we can make it to the other side is to slay the beast."

Drogo and Emily charged forwards with their weapons thrust out in front of them, Sunny saw this battle ensuing and she brought her bow out and prepared it just in case. Drogo and Emily sped towards the monster and they slashed it at the same time. The Midgar Zolom roared in pain and it wriggled and writhed but it was still very much alive. It opened its mouth wide and flashed its pearly white fangs, it drew its head back and suddenly without warning it lunged at Emily but she leapt out of the way just in time and she held her dual wheeler above her head and spun it round like the blades of a windmill causing the fearsome creature double back, nevertheless it didn't take its eyes off Emily. Drogo saw his chance while the Midgar Zolom was focused on Emily he jumped up on to the Zolom's tail and he ran up the length of its back dragging his katanas behind him as he ran up. When he got near to its head he brought his katanas out in front of him and he dug one of his katanas deep into its flesh.

The Midgar Zolom screamed in pain and thrashed about causing Drogo to be swung around in the air. Drogo closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and he held on even tighter to his katana. Sunny seeing that Drogo was in trouble, quickly loaded up an arrow and aimed at the Midgar Zolom, she then fired the arrow with deadly accuracy hitting it square in the eye. The Zolom roared in even more pain as it was now blind in one eye, sensing her enemy's weakness Emily sped forwards and with a quick flick of her wrist she slashed the Zolom twice in the chest. The Zolom roared and flicked its head a final time dislodging the katana, Drogo and the arrow. Drogo fell to the ground and landed on his back, fortunately the ground was soft and he wasn't hurt too badly he staggered to his feet and he looked over at Emily just in time to see the Midgar Zolom sweep its powerful tail and hit Emily square in the stomach knocking her flying back first into a tree, she slid down the tree and lay there unconscious.

"Emily!" Drogo yelled as he stared at Emily, then the Midgar Zolom and back to Emily again. Sunny quickly ran over to where Emily was lying, she picked her up, slung her over her shoulder and carried her to safety. Drogo glared at the Midgar Zolom which was now focusing on him. He bared his teeth as he sheathed his katanas and brought his arms upwards as his body glowed and was surrounded by a glowing aura. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Drogo yelled at the top of his lungs as his spines grew even spikier and his fur became florescent and glowed brightly. Drogo watched as his clothing also changed, his jacket and his pants became a deep red colour with orange flame patterns on them, his tunic changed from blue to green and his gloves came to just below his elbow and were coloured a deep blue. Glowing aquamarine gems were set into the back of the gloves and his boots became grey, the glow around Drogo fades as he stood there in his Quadra-elemental form. (A/N As mentioned before Drogo is an elementalist. He has two transformation states, Quick draw, which you may see in later chapters and his Elementalist form which is known as Quadra-elemental. This is because he can control all four elements. As you can see, his spines become even spikier and his fur glows slightly. Also each item of his clothing is coloured to represent the four elements, his jacket and pants represent fire, his tunic represents earth, his gloves represents water and his boots represent air.) Drogo glared at the Midgar Zolom and he suddenly charged forwards.

"Burning Soul!" Drogo yelled as both his hands ignited into flames, he continued to charge at the Zolom he thrust his flaming hands forwards and launched fireballs at the monster, the serpent hissed and it raised its tail into the air and slammed it down aiming to crush Drogo underneath it, but Drogo was far too quick for it and he rolled out of the way. He leapt into the air and spun round rapidly launching countless fireballs at the Zolom completely engulfing it in flames. Drogo then aimed his fists downwards as he fell and he slammed them into the ground causing columns of molten rock to rise from the ground and completely surround the Midgar Zolom causing extensive damage to it and yet it was still very much alive.

"You look thirsty!" Drogo yelled at the serpent as the fire in his hands died down and was replaced by a glowing blue aura. "Let me quench it for you!" Drogo did a double back flip in the air as a giant Tsunami raged behind him and crashed into the Midgar Zolom almost drowning it and put out all the fire in the surrounding area. When the water died down the Midgar Zolom was swept to the other side of the marsh, it glared at Drogo and hissed threateningly as it slithered towards him and raised itself upwards holding its head back and lunging at Drogo to try and eat him.

Drogo dodged out of the way of the snapping jaws, he then ran up jumped and he drove his foot into the Zolom's face, using it to launch himself into the air. He spread his arms out, his body glowed yellow and electricity pulsed through him. "Weather forecast says LIGHTNING STORM HEADING YOUR WAY!" Drogo thrust his arms back the sky darkened and filled with storm clouds. Thunder rumbled in the sky and the entire marsh was illuminated by a sudden barrage of lightning streaks Drogo then focused all of the lightning storm and crashed it all out on the Zolom which cried out in both shock and pain. Drogo landed on the ground he looked up and smirked at the Midgar Zolom which was now close to death. It coiled itself up and it prepared to do its Beta attack hoping to take Drogo with it. Drogo however remembered Tifa telling him that some monster, the Midgar Zolom included always did an attack before it died in the hopes of taking its foe with it. Drogo focused all of his energy as his body glowed red and a fiery aura surrounded him.

"BBQ!" He yelled and he quickly brought his hand up causing a sharp, pointed rock to emerge out of the ground and impale the Midgar Zolom to it. The serpent cried out in pain but it knew that it was useless to try and escape. Drogo grinned as he walked up to the rock holding the Midgar Zolom in the air. "Hmmm," he said mockingly to himself as his hands were engulfed in flames again. "Flame grilled Midgar Zolom…GET IT WHILE IT'S RED HOT!" He yelled as he placed both hands on either side of the rock causing it to be ignited and the flames rushed up the rock and literally BBQed the Midgar Zolom alive. Drogo grinned at the flame grilled body of the Midgar Zolom still impaled to the rock. He decided to leave the monster impaled to the rock as proof of his skills, the glow round Drogo's body faded as he de-transformed. He spotted Sunny and Emily a few feet away from the marsh and he ran up to them, Sunny smiled when she spotted him.

"Drogo!" She called out his name as she ran up to him, hugged him and planted numerous kisses on his face. "I'm so glad you're safe, what happened to the Midgar Zolom?"

Drogo grinned at Sunny, "Let's see, it got burned, drenched, shocked and BBQed alive," he answered smugly as he pointed to the burning, deformed body of the Midgar Zolom still impaled on the rock. Sunny shook her head and she couldn't help but smile at him. "How's Emily?" Drogo asked as Sunny let go of him and they walked over to Emily.

"She's fine," Sunny answered, "I cast a healing spell on her, she should wake up now." Just as Sunny said this Emily moaned as she began to stir.

"Emily," Drogo called out his sister's name as he knelt down beside her.

Emily opened her eyes, "huh…Drogo, what happened?"

"We were fighting the Midgar Zolom," Drogo explained to her, "it whacked you with its tail and knocked you out. So I went all elemental on it, now its remains are currently impaled to a smouldering rock." Drogo pointed to the rock with the impaled serpent for the third time and Emily grinned at it.

"Well Drogo," she replied jokingly, "you sure do know how to leave your mark on a place."

Drogo laughed at this, "yeah, I know," he said smugly, "Tifa said that the Mythril Mines were on the other side of this marsh."

Emily's eyes lit up when she heard that, "did you say Mythril?" she asked as Drogo and Sunny helped her to her feet.

Drogo nodded, "I forgot you were a blacksmith," he replied, "you should know all about Mythril."

"It's light but stronger than dragon scales," Emily answered, "it's a common material in weapons and armour, come on, let's go." Drogo, Sunny and Emily walked across the marsh, now that the Midgar Zolom was dead the marsh was safe to cross. Five minutes later and they were in the Mythril Mines.

"Wow!" Sunny and Emily both exclaimed as all three of them looked all around the cavern.

"This place is completely covered in Mythril," Emily observed as she walked over to the walls.

"Well they don't call it Mythril Mines for nothing," Drogo replied as he and Sunny caught up with Emily.

"I want to explore this cave some more," Emily stated, "maybe I can harvest some Mythril and use it to create more weapons and armour." Drogo, Sunny and Emily walked through to the next chamber and they saw that this room was even bigger than the one they were in before.

"This place is so beautiful," Sunny remarked, "and the walls are so shiny too."

"That would be the Mythril," Emily stated as she walked over to another wall, she withdrew her dual wheeler and she began to harvest some of the Mythril from the walls. After half an hour she had collected enough Mythril to create five swords, or five armour plates.

"You got everything you need?" Drogo asked her, Emily nodded, "good," Drogo said satisfied. "Fort Condor and Junon are on the other side of this cave, let's go and check them out." Drogo, Sunny and Emily were about to continue when Drogo's phone rang, he grabbed the phone from his pocket and answered it. "Hello?" He spoke into the phone.

"Drogo, it's Reno," Reno spoke up on the other side of the phone.

"Hey Reno."

"Where are you?" Reno asked Drogo.

"Emily was feeling homesick," Drogo explained, "so me and Sunny decided to take her to see some of the sights. We had a bit of a run in with a Midgar Zolom, but we're ok. We're currently in the Mythril Mines."

"Well could you make your way back to WRO HQ?" Reno asked, "One of Rufus' agents got into contact with him, there's been a breakthrough. Rufus wants to call a meeting when everyone's together."

"Ok," Drogo replied, "we'll get there as soon as we can." Drogo hung up on the phone.

"Who was it?" Sunny asked as she and Emily stared at him.

"That was Reno," Drogo answered, "he wants us to go back to WRO HQ."

"But, we haven't seen everything yet," Emily protested, "I still want to see Junon and Fort Condor."

"That'll have to wait for another time," Drogo told her, "Rufus wants us back now. Apparently one of his agents got into contact with him and they've had a breakthrough, Rufus is gonna call a meeting and he'll explain everything to us."

"I guess saving the world comes first, huh," Emily remarked, Drogo and Sunny nodded, they were heroes themselves and they knew the drill.

"Come on," Drogo said, "let's get back." Drogo, Sunny and Emily walked back through the Mythril mines and five minutes later they were on their way to WRO HQ to find out what Rufus wanted and what the breakthrough was and it was at that moment that they knew they were one step closer to saving the world from darkness.

Phew, this chapter took me a couple of weeks to complete, I hope it's ok. This was a bit of a light hearted chapter compared to the previous one, but I can assure you that things will get more serious and sinister from now one. But that doesn't mean that I'll be cutting back on the funny moments. There's definitely more funny moments to come, chapter 23 will be coming soon. Just a reminder that I don't own Final Fantasy VII or any of its characters, I do however own characters I created myself.
