The return of Zack part 2

I like this story so much and hope that everyone feels the same. Zack: Well you best to hurry up its best not to keep my fans waiting! "Those who live in darkness wonders aimlessly" that's a quote from Yami no Mitsuei and I think that it's a great anime at that well back to the return of Zack.

Tifa, had been staring at the door for hours now wondering when Cloud was going to come back. She had his cell phone number. Though he rarely answered the thing, which made the purpose of having one meaningless. She finally stood up, and left his room taking the food with her. She didn't want it to stay in his room. Knowing him, he would leave it there for days or probably hide it when he returned.

"Idiot..." Tifa said under her breath, before letting the door slam shut behind her.

Cloud on the other hand, had that large buster blade clamped to that leather sheath on his back. Most of the other Soldiers or what was left of them were tending to the children. The ones with Geostigma, though he knew exactly what they were going through. Somehow, the signs were slowly starting to show on his right arm. That discoloration of the skin, the unbearable pain that came along with it. He wasn't sure how he got it, but it was perhaps payback. For his sin. He started to make his way towards the Gym, he didn't mind showing some of the people there a lesson in speed and technique, and it would get him mind off of the world. A gloved hand would reach to push the door open to the newly remodeled gym.

"Hey spike! Come here I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine." A wire like grin plastered itself across those features of his. Those hands reached out to grab those pale digits of his best friend. Long silver hair adorned those features of the general. Cloud was speechless, that was the one man who's face was plastered all over the media. The great general Sephiroth! That long sword that was called the Masamune, that was said, no one else could use. Those hands would rub those bright blues of his, as that jaw of his dropped open. That face turned to Zack.

"You k..know general Sephiroth!" Cloud exclaimed.

Zack would rub that back of his head, and smiled. That blush was evidently there when those cheeks flushed of a shade of a peach over bathed in the sun.

"Well, yah he's my partner in crime you could say." Zack looked over towards Sephiroth, and was shot an icy glare at that point. His expression completely changed from a happy look to one that was more sour.

"Zack, you were late for practice...you see to make sport of my wait. I took on most of the gym at once." Sephiroth, eyes immediately locked onto Clouds.

"Seph..meet Cloud, he going to study for the Soldier entrance exam!" Zack grinned before placing that hand of his on the kids head.

Cloud looked around for a moment, before stepping into the gym. Those eyes seemed to look around the gym, to the large circle that had formed in the center. He of course had to show his badge that granted him access anywhere in Midgar. Though, when he caught a glance of a man flying back into the wall, with force that was almost human. It did capture his attention.

'Were friends right?' Nothing more than a passing thought.

Those eyes widened when he saw the tall man standing in the center of the padded floor. No weapon was held in those hands, though his fists were covered in blood. His own, people in the circle was seeking nothing other than revenge at this point. Was fighting the primal instinct that all humans possessed at some point? Cloud seemed to push his way through the crowd and towards the center of the floor, he found himself face to face with the man.

"Zack? Zack?!" Cloud shouted, as he walked over towards the wild man.

"It's me Cloud, Oh man can't you remember?!" Cloud, would place those hands on the mans shoulders and would shake him.

'Cloud!! Get away! That's not me!!!' A voice seem to echo throughout that mind of his. That familiar voice that taught him everything he needed to know about fighting. Cloud know that he was going crazy, when he saw Zack standing on the side of him. He saw the same man before him? He wasn't dead? This was...

A back handed punch would than be sent flying towards the others face. Causing Cloud to fall face down onto the ground. The other man stood tall, before easing down into a martial arts like stance. There was something wrong with this man? Zack, would have never hit him that way. Everything with him was usually face on.

"Zack! Snap out of it!!!!" Cloud closed his eyes, before pushing himself up from the ground.

The tall headed spiky black haired man was no other than Zack. Who was standing there looking to the spiky haired blond stand up and approach him from the distance.

"People like you who think they can waltz right up into this place deserves to get there ass kicked." The taller man said. Zack, who seemed to know nothing but martial arts. Zack would part those lips of his, and a smug smirk would cross those features. "I'm thinking you know me.." His voice seemed more serious, though at the same time it wasn't him.

Tell me what do you think of the second installment! n.n I tried very hard to capture the element of Zack's past. So tell me who do you think he is? Do you think this fighting machine is really Zack? Or maybe it's just a clone? A lot of expiraments went on in ShinRa. Yah, I had been planning on rewriting chapter two for awhile, since I didn't like were the last story was heading. This is what I had been meaning to post for some time now! Comments are always welcome! n.n Sorry for it being so short x.x
