Chapter 9

"What do you mean, he lied to us? Tell me the truth, Angeal." Lazard said.

"I just have this gut feeling that Zack lied. I don't know why, but I felt an immense power coming from the dead bodies. Did any of you feel it, too?" Angeal asked. Lazard, Genesis, and Sephiroth thought over what Angeal had just said.

Then Sephiroth said, "I actually couldn't really feel anything, 'Geal. I guess you're special like that."

"I didn't feel anything either, 'Geal. Sorry." Genesis said. When Lazard didn't respond right away, Genesis, Angeal, and Sephiroth looked at him.

He looked away and said, "It felt like someone was in my head. The voice had said, 'Lazard, please help us get away from the three 1st Class SOLDIER's. We can't be in the labs because we're shape shifters and we're very wild when confined.' Now do you see why I couldn't tell you? They don't want to be captured. Can't you see that?" The very close friends were shocked when they heard Lazard say that. Now that they heard what Lazard had to say, they felt sympathy for the animals they had captured. But, Angeal still wanted to lecture Zack about lying to them. He was about to say something when Sephiroth cut him off.

Sephiroth then said, "What do you want to do, Lazard?"

"Let's go help them. Are you with me?" Lazard asked. The three friends nodded their heads in agreement. They then went off to find Zack, Cloud, Reno, Kunsel, and the shape shifters.

What his friends didn't know (even Lea) was that Zyme had called for Lazard, Genesis, Angeal, and Sephiroth to come help them escape. When said men had showed up and didn't capture us or anything, everyone (except Zyme) was confused and shocked.

Zack asked, "What are you guys doing, Angeal? I thought you needed to find your prisoners, not help us. What's going on?"
Genesis then said, "Lazard actually got us to come. He told us that someone sent him a mind-message to help your friends." When Genesis said that, Reno, Kunsel, Zack, and Cloud made "Oh" faces.

Angeal then said, "Puppy, when this is over, we need to talk. You need to learn your lesson on not lying to people, especially your superiors. Do you understand, Zack?" Zack nodded his head. When no one was looking, Zyme and Lea had come out from under the covers.

"Hey, Zack, can we escape now? People are looking at us weirdly. So, we kind of need to go. Now." Zyme told them.

"Yeah. Cloud, come on. Let's go. By the way, Zyme, where should we go?" Lea asked. When the group heard their voices, they jumped.

Then Zyme said, "Let's go back to Gongoga. I love that place. It's been fun hanging with Zack and his friends from back home. What do y'all say?" Everyone was now confused because they didn't really know what to say or do.

"Don't you remember Neibelheim? That place was fun with Cloud and his friends, too. I like it there." Lea said.

"I know. Me, too. Well, we love both places, but where should we actually go?" Zyme asked.

Sephiroth then said, "How about Banora?"

Kunsel said, "I've never been to Banora before. Have you guys?"

"Cloud and I haven't been in a while since it was blown up." Zack said.

"I haven't even been at all. I want to go, yo." Reno stated.

"Like Zack said the two of us haven't been in a while." Cloud said.

"I don't think I have. I don't know." Zyme stated.

"The same as Zyme for me." Lea said.

"That's a very good idea, isn't it?" Angeal asked.

"It is indeed." Lazard said.

"Since everyone's agreed, then let's go." Genesis announced. Everyone nodded their heads.

(A/N: I'm ending here because I need more time to do other things. If you want faster updates, then R&R. Until next time!) (If the FF VII: CC characters are OOC, don't be mad at me. It's technically my first fan fiction & I don't know how else to write it.)
