Chapter 19
"What's so damn funny about me having a kid!" Cid shouted much to his annoyance Yuffie kept laughing
"It…isn't so much funny…more or less weird how you never told us, that and the thought of you having a kid at all is just plain funny to Yuffie" Tifa explained
"Daddy, are you sure you aren't seeing another woman?" The girl asked
"If Cid had the ability to get a woman at his age or any at all for that matter it died long ago!" Yuffie stated soon bursting into another fit of laughter
"Oh shut up A cup don't make me send your little boyfriend here packing" Cid retorted
Yuffie's laughter morphed into a look of anger and Sora had confused look about him
"How do you plan to send me anywhere last I checked I was stronger than you!" Sora had a challenging look in his eyes that Cid wasn't about to answer the call to
"Rikku, I think it'd be best not to egg this on more than it should, I think everyone else would agree" The other girl with for an odd reason two different eye colors responded
"….Well this isn't going to be fun she has the same name as Riku"
"Well it's not like daddy to lose to someone, so why would this be any different?" She asked innocently much to Cid's annoyance
"Example A" Sora swept Cid's feet off the ground and then sent him flying as a ball of fire exploded in the exact spot the pilot was standing
"It seems you decided to show yourself," Cloud glared
"You're trying to find your friends, I see, then I'll help you" The red head smirked lightly much to his elevated ego she blushed
"Th-Thank you Genesis" Selphie whispered adverting her eyes from his
"What are their names?" Genesis asked
"Riku, Tidus and Kairi oh and Sora too" Selphie pondered
"Anyone else?" Genesis asked a bit aggravated
"Well…Sora has other friends here he's seeing one of them is named Cloud"
Everything else she said was lost to him as an eerily wicked smile came over his features
"I…see which way did you come from again, will find them shortly" Genesis calmly touched the young girl's cheek to which the girl came completely flustered
"A-Ah, I-I c-came f-f-from th-that w-way" She stuttered out
Genesis smirked "Urgency always makes it that much easier to get the truth out"
"What do you want Reno, better yet you brought your bald friend and you're leader what is this want to extract his cells for SOILDER use?" Tifa berated exasperatedly
"So feisty, but no we came here to warn you," Reno had a stoic smile plastered on his face
"Warn us, about what?" Cid asked after finally getting up from the initial shock of getting tripped
"Weiss" Shelke answered everyone's gaze was solely focused on her
"Ah, Shelke, so nice of you to remember me…but have you met…my brother…I think you two would get that…spark!" Weiss vanished in a haze of blue striking the closest person to him, which was unfortunately Cloud. I say unfortunate only because…Weiss picked the worst possible opponent for himself, Cloud parried his strike easily which lead him to two possibilities this was a diversion or back up was surely on it's way, and if that was the case they had to take him down fast, but after noticing how weak his attempt to attack was it seemed the companion was close at hand.
"Well, how strong do you think…brother?" Weiss asked
"He'll be enough to keep me occupied…for about twenty seconds" Another man draped in red clothing his eyes glowing red faintly a wicked smirk on his face
Cloud glared instantly looked towards the voice with nothing but anger, possible hatred without waiting even a second he charged as if on cue the brunette was behind him the trio clashed the look-a-likes had faces of struggle and contempt. For the red head who had a condescending smile spread across his face, he finally decided to push them back and sent them not even a foot back, this time they took action. Mimicking each others stances they both charged Sora swung first using his speed to keep the red head on guard then Cloud rushed in with a bone crushing vertical strike that connected easily with the red heads arm sending him into the dust below them a few feet away from them.
"Is that…really all you can do?" Genesis asked almost perplexed
"I'm not even trying!" He shouted, flames encircled his blade and with blinding speed crushed through Cloud's guard. Sending him into a crater of flames Sora rushed the story teller only to be sent back inch by inch - only to gain one foot hold Genesis finally got the upper hand and sent the brunette into the air and sent him into Cid's ship. the red head laughed he couldn't help but laugh at the attempt he stalked over to Cloud as the rest of the group stood waiting for the end of the blonde swordsman.
"All the opposition I'm faced with…is a child and a coward, how form fitting I suppose…but know this all you are is a legacy…you will never be a hero" Genesis dropped the blonde and stalked off with Weiss in tow
"Lucrecia…She's the key, she's worked on genes like these, the only other person we could ask as to defeating genesis, the only other person we could as would be Hojo but…" Shelke stopped herself
"How…would we go about getting the information?" Vincent asked in a bit of a rush
"For her to be free, someone…would have to take her place" Shelke said just loud enough for the bar at seventh heaven to go deafly silent
"Well Tidus, I guess you're up" Riku gestured
"W-What, I'm not doing it!" He shouted
"Well you are staying aren't you?" He asked
"I…I haven't decided yet!"
"Well unfortunately for you we aren't. Selphie's heartbroken and I really don't like being in a hostile place, so you can ether head out now or stick around." Riku stated in a serious manner before walking out the door, the rest of the trope of the blondes happened to be outside with Cid and the blitzball ace rushed outside and was greeted by the brunette along with Yuffie.
"I really didn't expect you to have been taught by Auron" Sora said softly
"It was more of a here take this and fight these" Tidus explained
Sora looked at him dead in the eye almost as if glaring
"You and your friends should leave as well; here on out things will get dire…should you stay…" Sora's expression was never a serious one, well for all the time he knew him the brunette was always a carefree guy.
"Sora…will-"
"Resurrect them both and combine them to create the ultimate being, one that can transcend even death itself"
"Do you think it will work brother?" Weiss asked
"Of course…as long as-"Genesis grabbed his blade
"You accept your place!" Genesis stabbed his blade into the center of Weiss's chest absorbing a black liquid from his brother which flowed into the redhead Weiss's body faded into nothingness and all Genesis did was laugh…
"The first phase…is finally complete"
