"This is Vincent Valentine! He's a good friend of ours, and I'm sure you'll get along just fine. What are you doing here anyways Vincent?" Yuffie said with a grin.

Vincent just stared at Yuffie like he didn't understand a word she was saying. He didn't seem like a very outgoing person; in face he sent chills up my spine.

"I sensed you coming...and I felt an unknown presence traveling with you. Tifa asked me to check on you."

I didn't know what to say, so you I just stared at him. There was something mesmerizing in his face, and he was one of the most beautiful creatures I had ever laid eyes on. He was very cold, and he reminded me of myself in a way. He had noticed that I was staring and our eyes met in an icy collision.

"What are you staring at? I'm not a monster or something…"

I was slightly taken aback by his remark; I didn't mean to insult him.

"I didn't mean to, but you could be a little nicer about it! I mean, you just stumbled upon me for Christ's sake!" I yelled out with fury.

Yuffie's eyes widened in horror at what I had just said and she jumped in front of me as she watched Vincent reach for his gun holster. Seeing this, I immediately became defensive and slightly agitated that he would even think of shooting someone like me.

"Go ahead, shoot me! I dare you; I would love to see you compete with me." I said with a cocky attitude.

Yuffie tackled me to the ground as Vincent quickly took out Cerberus and shot right for my head. Lucky for me, Yuffie's specialty was her speed, and she quickly brought Vincent down.

"Alright, you saw what was happening and who was traveling with me, so Vincent if you will, please go! I don't want any trouble...and please tell Tifa that I'm bringing a friend, and don't say anything to offset her opinions!"

Vincent threw her off of him and stood up, as did I.

"I make no promises, but I'll try." He said.

He looked me over one last time and then materialized into the red cape that engulfed his body. Yuffie turned around and looked at me, sighing.

"Well, you made a good impression on him, didn't you?"

I just rolled my eyes and scoffed. We continued on our journey once again toward the awaiting AVALANCHE group sitting at the seventh Heaven.

Yuffie was humming softly a few inches behind when I heard the sound of gun shots and the engine of a motor cycle approaching. We exchanged nervous glances and pulled our weapons out. Back to back, guns and ninja stars bared, we were prepared to face anything that came. Just as we both had thought the sound dissipated, three large black bikes peaked in the distance over the top of a hill. Yuffie's blood immediately ran cold and she pushed me aside toward the route of escape.

"Run, Kaylee! These guys aren't something we can handle, they're too powerful!"

I got the hint from the look in her eyes and began to sprint away as fast as I could. Being one of the most uncoordinated people around, I tripped over a very large rock and went spiraling toward the ground and into a face didn't notice, so she kept running ahead. As I was standing, I felt shadows creeping up and saw the three bikes circling around my sprawled out form. Before I lifted my head I heard three voices conversing above my head.

"Well, well lookie what we have here boys. New meat? Well isn't she a pretty one! Let's take her back to the house to have some fun."

I stood up immediately and swung Angeline around by the trigger hole. They all had silver hair of three different lengths, and were wearing tight black leather suits. They were creepy looking in every way, and their voices were also quite unsettling.

"You won't be taking anyone home boys. Not me, anyway. I'm not going without a fight to the death!" I yelled.

From hearing this, they all just started laughing. Those laughs were never to be forgotten as long as I lived. The way they carried themselves was just so utterly disturbing that it was like living in a bad horror movie. The one with the medium hair spoke first.

"You really think a petite little thing like you can take all three of us on?"

The one with the shortest hair spoke then.

"You could never beat us, we're even more powerful from the all the materia we just took!"

Then the one with the longest hair finally spoke. His voice is what creeped me out the most.

"You stand no chance, girly. Hey, Kadaj, what should we do now? She's not going to go easily...should I just shoot her in the limbs, so she can't run away?"

I froze after hearing that and immediately gripped Angeline as hard as I could. The one with the medium length hair, now known as Kadaj, pondered this for a moment. He seemed to be the leader from the way the other two looked up to him. I hoped they were all aware that I would never let them take me so easily; I wasn't going without a fight.

"No, don't damage her. She has a great physic, and once we break her spirit, we can use her for other things."

I heard enough, they were making evil schemes and I was standing right there! I aimed Angeline right for the one with the longest hair; he needed to go he was just too freaky. However, as soon as I raised my arm to fire, the one with the shortest hair pounced on me and pinned me to the ground.

"Hey let me go! Get off of me, you big lug!"

I flipped my body, sending him rolling, and kicked him where it hurts the most. The other two became infuriated and yelled at the same time.

"Get up, Loz! You're completely useless if you can't hold down a little bitch like that!"

Kadaj then turned to the one with the longest silver hair and nodded once.

"Yazoo, it's your turn to prove yourself to me. If you do this task right, I'll be sure to tell mother what a good job you did."

The one with the longest hair, apparently named Yazoo, looked up at the cloud-filled sky with an expression of hope. When his gaze returned to reality, he looked at me with a demonic face. He ran straight at me...and I was too stunned to move. I was frozen in fear just from the look of his face. Just as he was about to grab me, he fell to the earth and prostrated there, motionless. Blood spilled from his right arm, and he seemed to be unconscious. Where the hell did that come from? I looked to my left and saw yet another black bike zooming into the scene. There was a man with spiky blonde hair and goggles driving in the front and he had a small gun in hand. He sped right by the scene and grabbed me gently by the arm and threw me onto the back of the seat behind him. Automatically, I grabbed him around the waist and held on for dear life as he sped away from the three angry, silver-haired brothers.
