" How do you know?" he asked.
" I know she won't." Val replied honestly.
" Val…I almost killed her." Vincent replied. Val stared at him in shock. The time she had seen Chaos come forth after he was supposed to have returned to the planet, Vincent had had some control.
" How much control did you have?" Val asked him seriously.
" None at all. Not until she threatened me about the coffin. The word coffin jogged my memories of it and the things that led to it and so on and so forth. I barely managed to get enough control to release her. But, since there were no other enemies and I had released her indicating she was no threat Chaos disappeared as quick as he had came." Vincent replied.
" Okay. So far we know that when your life is threatened Chaos takes control to protect not necessarily you, but his host body because he will be seriously harmed if you die. Your death could possibly cause his death. Because of this even in his weakened state he has to protect you. But, as you say even when he takes control you can feel him sleeping restoring his power. When he does take control of you the proto materia does noting at all, it doesn't even stir as if he's doing nothing. When you do feel him stir you can feel the proto materia try to awaken I guess would be the correct term. So in his dreamlike state you have no control over him and his only goal is to protect you." Val stated as she recited all she knew of what was going on with Vincent. Vincent nodded.
" It's much harder taking control of him this way. Harder than even when I didn't have the proto materia." Vincent replied rubbing his eyes.
" Don't worry Vince. I'm sure things will get better. I promise." Val replied. Vincent stood and went to the door and opened and looked back at val.
" I hope your right." he replied as he left. The next day the interrogated Eric and all they got where a few places he kept talking about.
" Okay. Val and I are going to check out the mountains behind Nibelhiem. Tifa and Barret are going to check out Bonetown. Storm your going to check out Junon. The rest of you will stay here and have your phones on. It's untelling what we might run into." Cloud replied.
" You reckon we shoulda be splittin up like this, Spiky?" Cid asked.
" Not really, but it's quicker this way." Cloud replied as Tifa and Barret left.
" Are you not going to take a partner with you?" Shelke asked Storm.
" Naw. I'd rather work alone. Sides if I die I won't be missed that much." Storm replied.
" I'd miss you." Val replied.
" Yeah, but your family you has ta miss me. No one else cares. Adios amigos." Storm replied storming out the front door.
" Some things never change." Cloud replied.
" If they did change we'd have to worry then." Val replied.
I walked the Junon street with no success at all. Finally I turned around and saw a a familiar face. The face of someone I had thought dead. He was tale and pale with messy white hair with black ends and piercing red eyes. He wore white baggy cargo pants. He wore no shoes and white biker gloves. He was strong and well muscled. Snake. That was his name. His parents had named him that because of his red eyes with snake pupils that he was born with. I quickly hid in and alley and peered out at him. He seemed uninterested in Junon and where he was headed. I tailed him for a while before he stopped at the edge of and alley. He ran his hand along a crack and move his fingers a few times. A key pad came out of the wall and he typed something in I couldn't see then his dna was scanned. The as if hidden by mist a sewer hole appeared beside him. He quickly glanced around and entered. Right then I should have called the others, but I didn't. Soon as he was inside and the lid shut it all disappeared as if it wasn't there. I waited for about twenty minutes before I approached. I quickly spotted the mechanism in the crack of the alley wall that he had pressed with his fingers. I mimicked the movement to a t. I had a good memory when it came to important stuff. The key pad appeared. I pulled out my tools. I quickly had the top of the keypad. Seconds later the code had been entered and the dna pass had been overridden. I opened the hatch and leapt into darkness. I felt as if I had fell for a several minutes before I felt my self slowing and land gently on the ground. Cool, I thought.
Quickly I looked around. The walls were made of stone and torches lit the way strait ahead. With no other passages and no way to leave the way I came so I went forward. Suddenly I stopped I would call the others. I pulled out my cell, it was dead as in the signal was being blocked. Well damn. I headed forward dodging sentries and guards along the ways. I didn't recognize there uniforms. They wore dark grey uniforms. The coat had I high collar that came over and snapped on the right side. The coat buttoned down far to the right. The front of the coat ended at the waist but the back continued down to about the knees or a few inches lower. On the left arm the wore a cloth around the arm, each was different colors. I guessed it was for rank. What ever the color of the clothe on the arm that marked rank matched the Chinese like dragon that designed the front. On the right arm the coats had metal plated armor down the upper arm. I dodged them. I watched one slip into a room that had a big map displayed of the place. I saw no exits but I saw the giant room at the center. If they were hiding something it would be there. For a spilt second I thought of donning a uniform, but I doubted it would work. There were few down here so I'd be spotted right away.
I slipped down hall after hall, past guard after guard till I came to the giant room. I took one slow breath and slipped inside. Most would have been blinded by the darkness but I wasn't. I felt my eyes warm and surge with light. I had always been able to see in the dark well due to my unique eyes. It was eye shine, the same thing animals have that lets them see in the dark. And just like animals my eyes shined a certain color, that color was amber. A bright yellow the same color as wolf eyes. I looked around the large room and it was decorated extravagantly. I wasn't at all surprised when the lights were snapped on. I turned towards the sound to see a tall man with messy short red hair in a modified solider uniform. It had a red coat that had crosshatching leather hanging form it. It was a solider uniform of some kind but I had never seen a solider uniform like this.
