Cloud, Gordon, Coomer and the rest were currently traversing through Mt. Nibel in pursuit of Benrey and Sephiroth. They had been climbing for a while and were at a fairly high point on the mountain.

Cloud was overlooking from a cliff side with binoculars to see if their were any towns nearby.

"See anything?" Gordon asked, as him and everyone else stood by.

"Not yet." Cloud replied, as he continued to scope out the landscape.

"Wait." He said, noticing something in the distance.

"There seems to be a town nearby, we'll head there and see if we can find out where they went."

"Got it." said Gordon, as Cloud went to rejoin everyone.

"Gordon, look out!" Coomer shouted, pointing at the sky

Everyone looked up to see a flock of Zuu's descending onto them.

"Oh fuck!" Gordon shouted, as he, Tommy, Coomer, Vincent, and Barret began unloading onto the birds.

Some of the flock were able to get past the gun users and began fighting those who used melee weapons.

Cloud and Tifa were fighting a group of 6 Zuu's with Cloud slashing at half of them while Tifa punched and kicked her way through the other half. She cast Freeze onto one which fell, one then tried to charge at her but she was able to give a powerful side kick to send it flying. The last one of the Zuu's was able to grab Tifa's arm and tried to drag her but she was able to punch it off with her free arm and sent the Zuu flying into a nearby rock.

"Tifa! Are you alright!" Cloud asked, as he continued fighting his half of the Zuu's.

"I'm good!" She replied, joining Cloud in fighting his half.

Red XII, Yuffie, Cait Sith, and Aerith were fighting their own group with Red XIII and Cait Sith fighting them up close as Aerith and Yuffie stayed back to provide support.

"These damnable birds screwed with the wrong people!" Coomer shouted, continuing to fire off his M249.

"Hey uh guys!" Barret shouted, "A little help here!"

Gordon, Coomer, Tommy and Vincent turned around to see a swarm of Zuu were flying over Barret and were pecking at him. They also noticed Barret was dangerously close to the edge of the cliff.

"Guys, help Barret!" shouted Gordon, as they all turned their guns and began firing on the birds.

They were able to kill the birds pecking at Barret, but unfortunately, the worst possible scenario happened: Barret didn't know how close he was to the cliff, and he began to fall off.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Barret could be heard as he fell.

"BARRET!" Gordon shouted, as he and the other three ran over to the cliff side.

Cloud and Tifa, having defeated their group of Zuu's, quickly ran over to where they were.

They all looked down and saw Barret was able to grab onto a small edge of the mountain, but his grip was starting to loosen.

"Stay where you are Barret! I'll come get you!" Cloud shouted.

"Wait!" Gordon said, turning to Coomer.

"Coomer, you have to use your extendo arms now!"

"Sure thing Gordon!" replied Coomer, as he stashed his gun and stood over the edge.

Unfortunately for Barret, his grip was almost gone.

"Come on, come on!" He shouted, hoping to hold on for a little longer so someone could come to his rescue.

He then heard a cracking noise, and looked to see the edge he was hanging on was beginning to break loose.

"Oh s-"

The edge broke off, his life flashed before his eyes as he closed his eyes ready to fall to his death.

Only he didn't feel himself falling. He opened one eye and saw a long stretched out pair of arms holding onto him. He looked and saw it was Coomer holding onto him from above.

Slowly he began to ascend upwards as Coomer's arms pulled him up. He was then able to get his feet back on solid ground.

"Barret, are you alright?" Tifa asked, as Red XII and the rest rejoined the group.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." replied Barret, calming himself down from the near death experience.

"Thanks for that Coomer."

"Not a problem at all Barret. I did that all the time whenever Gordon fell." replied Coomer.

"Yeah that shit definitely came in handy." said Gordon.

"So Cloud, you said you saw a town nearby?"

"Yeah, it looks like it's in walking distance too. We'll head there and see if we can find out where Sephiroth and Benrey went."

"Welp, I'll see you all there!" said Coomer.

He then, to everyone's horror, ran and jumped off the cliff. Everyone stood there speechless.

Gordon and Tommy somehow expected Coomer to do that.

"He's fine! He's fine! He's fine, don't worry." Gordon said, addressing whatever concerns that they were all feeling.

"B-But- but he-" said Yuffie, struggling to get the words out.

"Don't worry it's like I said he's a god, we'll probably see him when we get there, now let's get going."

Gordon and Tommy then went down a path that led to the base of the mountain. Everyone else followed, although obviously shook at what they just saw.

'Fucking hell Coomer, try and not scare our party members like that.'


The party entered the town they saw from atop the mountain and saw a large and tilted rocket sitting at the town's center. And from what they could see it was in no condition to fly.

"Mr. Freeman it's a rocket ship." said Tommy excitedly.

"Yeah I see that Tommy, it doesn't look like it's in any condition to take off though." Gordon replied,

"Now we gotta see where Coomer went."

Just as Gordon said that, Coomer came around the corner from a nearby building.

And he was lugging a vending machine.

"Uh hey Dr. Coomer!" Gordon said, getting his attention.

"Ah, hello Gordon!" said Coomer, coming over to the party and dropping the vending machine in front of them.

"Uh, what's this?" Cloud asked, as he and the others (minus Gordon and Tommy) were trying to make sense of why Coomer had a vending machine with him.

"Soda!" Coomer replied excitedly,

"I haven't had soda in so long and I just needed to have my fill! Don't worry I paid for the whole machine, that way it isn't stealing!"

Tommy had a look of lust in his eyes as he stared at the machine.

"I'll let you do the honors Gordon."

"Yeah sure thing Coomer," Gordon said, as he turned to Cloud.

"Back at Black Mesa we drank a shitload of soda to keep ourselves alert and hydrated."

"It also helped us see faster!" said Tommy.

"Yeah that too. Now Cloud, seeing as you're a part of the science team, you gotta drink your fill."

"Uh okay." Cloud said.

He never really drank soda before, but if he wanted to stay on Gordon's good side he didn't seem to have a choice.

"Alright then get ready!" said Gordon, arming his chaingun and aiming it at the vending machine.

Gordon fired and the front of the machine broke open, cans of soda began spilling out onto the ground.

In a flash Tommy and Coomer were on the ground drinking can after can at light speed while making gluttonous slurping noises. Cloud and the rest stood there bewildered.

"Get in there!" Gordon shouted, pushing Cloud towards the machine.

Cloud slowly got on the ground and grabbed a can that Tommy and Coomer didn't notice, he opened it and began to drink.

Cloud stopped after his first sip and looked at the can with surprise. He had never tasted something so good as soda before. He quickly downed the can and jumped into the fray to drink more.

"Uh Gordon." Tifa said,

"Should we be concerned with how much they're consuming?"

"Yeah it's fine, they've drunk like this numerous times before." He replied.

"But should Cloud have all that? I don't think all that caffeine and sugar would be good for him."

Cloud, Tommy, and Coomer all got up. Cloud had disappointment written all over his face.

"I only got to have 5 cans…" He said dejectedly.

"Gotta be quicker next time!" Gordon said.

"How come we didn't get to have any soda?" Yuffie complained.

"Sorry Yuffie, soda is reserved for science team members only." said Gordon.

Yuffie put on a pouty face and crossed her arms.

"Now Gordon, since you're all here let me tell you what I was able to find out." said Coomer.

"What'd you find out?"

"Well unfortunately no one has seen Sephiroth or Benrey at all, but they did tell me if I wanted to find out any information I should go and see someone called the Captain, along with his assistant."

"And do we know where or who this 'Captain' is?" Cloud asked while wiping his mouth.

"No idea! But I did see a cool airplane while I was here!" Coomer said.

"Well if I had to hypothesize, I'd bet the 'Captain' is there," said Vincent.

"Then let's head there, Coomer, we'll follow you." Gordon said, as they followed Coomer.


Cloud, Gordon, and the gang followed Coomer to where he saw the plane. Aerith was lecturing Tommy on his soda consumption while he silently nodded.

Gordon was surprised he didn't pull a gun on her like he did to him when he told Tommy to lay off the soda.

"Ah, there it is!" Coomer said, pointing at the plane as it came into view.

The plane itself was pink with baby blue outlines on it. It had the words "TINY BRONCO" written in large, dark blue and bold letters. It had the Shinra logo on it too. It was also in someone's backyard.

"Huh, we could use this." said Barret,

"Wonder who owns it."

A woman then came out of the house, she was wearing a white lab coat (although it bore no similarities to the ones Coomer and Tommy wore). When she noticed the group she approached them.

"Can I help you all with something?" She asked.

"Uh nothing! We're just looking." said Barret,

"And say, is anyone using this thing?"

"If you're looking to use it, you should see the Captain. Him and his assistant are in the rocket ship."

The woman then noticed Tommy and Coomer.

"And say, you guys are wearing the same outfits as him."

"As who?" asked Coomer.

"His assistant." She said, as she turned around to head back into the house.

"Wait!" Gordon said, causing her to stop and turn to face him.

"This 'assistant' you said who has a similar looking outfit as these two. Does he have glasses and a balding looking haircut as well?"

"That he does." She replied, as she entered the house.

Gordon's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Yes, YES!" Gordon shouted, beginning to shake with excitement.

"What is it?" Cloud asked.

Gordon looked at Cloud, barely containing his excitement.

"Bubby's here!"


Gordon was practically sprinting towards the rocket, excited with the prospect of getting the whole science team back together.

He stopped at the base of the stairs that led up and inside the rocket and heard voices from inside.

"Did you repair the fuel lines like I told you?" He heard one say, this one unfamiliar.

"I did god dammit, just focus on getting the guidance system working!" He heard another say, this one he knew.

Gordon then sprinted up the staircase into the rocket, he turned the corner and saw him:

Working on an interior part of the rocket was a man in an outfit the same as Tommy and Coomer wore, he had his back turned to Gordon but Gordon could see the edges of his glasses on his ears as well as his balding haircut.

With him was another man who wore a blue jacket and had goggles on his forehead and toothpick in his mouth, when he turned around to check on something he noticed Gordon standing there.

"Uh can we help you with something?" The man asked.

"Who is it Cid? Has Rufus finally arrived?" asked Bubby, his back still turned.

"No it's some guy wearing orange armor or something."

"Orange armor?" Bubby asked.

He put down what he was doing and turned around.

When he saw Gordon his face lit up with surprise.

"Gordon! What the fuck are you doing here!?" Bubby asked, still in disbelief at who was standing in front of him.

"Nice to see you too Bubby." replied Gordon,

"And uh it's nice to meet you too." Gordon said to Cid.

"Bubbs, you know this guy?" Cid asked.

"Yes I do, and I thought I told you to stop fucking calling me that." Bubby replied irritably.

"Now what are you doing here Gordon, and who are those people?" Bubby asked, pointing behind Gordon.

Gordon turned around and saw everyone was with him, including Coomer and Tommy.

"Is that the guy you were talking about?" asked Cloud, nodding towards Bubby.

"Yeah that's him." replied Gordon,

"Just gonna warn you he's not as friendly as Tommy and Coomer."

"Noted." Cloud replied.

"Gordon, you still haven't answered my question, what are you doing here?" Bubby asked impatiently.

"We're here to get you Bubby, we're getting the band back together." Gordon said.

He then put his arm around the back of Cloud's neck.

"And we got ourselves a new member!"

"What?" Bubby said, staring at Cloud in slight confusion with a slight hint of disgust.

"Why the hell is he on the science team? He didn't work at Black Mesa."

"He's not an official member, just honorary." replied Gordon, removing his arm off of Cloud.

"Well whatever." Bubby said, turning his back and continuing his work on the rocket.

"Wait what-" said Gordon, surprised at Bubby's dismissal.

"Aren't you coming with us?"

"Hell no!" Bubby shot at Gordon.

"I haven't seen any of you in years and now you suddenly come back into my life and want me to join you? No thanks! Besides, Rufus is coming here today and he's gonna reset the space program! I'm finally gonna get my chance to go back!"

"Wait a sec-" said Barret,

"Rufus is gonna be here?"

"That's right." said Cid,

"And when he sees the work that we put into repairing this baby I'll finally get my chance to go into outer space."

"We would've had our chance years ago if it wasn't for your stupid bitch of a wife!" said Bubby.

"Hey!" Cid shouted,

"Just because she ruined my dreams doesn't mean you can insult her like that."

Cid then turned to the group.

"Now is there anything I can help you with?"

"Are you the owner of the Tiny Bronco?" Tifa asked.

"That I am!" Cid said proudly.

"Why do you wanna know?"

"Can we borrow it? We're kind of on a world saving mission." asked Gordon.

"No way!" Cid shouted,

"The Tiny Bronco is my most prized possession! No chance in hell would I give it to some strangers!"

He then put on his goggles.

"Now if there's nothing else you want then scram! We both have a lot of work to do!"

He then turned around to continue his share of work on the rocket.

Gordon turned his head to Cloud.

"Well, we tried…"


The party had left the rocket and we're heading over to Cid's house in last ditch effort to see if they could secure the Tiny Bronco. Gordon himself was slightly upset that Bubby didn't want to come with him.

But he had a feeling that was going to change soon.

"Well he was real friendly!" Yuffie said sarcastically about Bubby.

"Yeah that's Bubby for you." said Gordon,

"Guy was always the charmer of the group."

"What are we gonna do now Mr. Freeman?" Tommy asked, clearly upset at Bubby's refusal to rejoin the science team.

"It's fine Tommy. If Bubby doesn't want to join us then that's his prerogative. Besides-"

He then bumped his fist against Cloud's arm.

"We already have someone that fills that void just fine."

Cloud then gave a look as if he didn't know if he should be grateful at what Gordon just said.

"Well Cloud, what's the plan?" asked Aerith,

"For now we'll head back to the Captain's house and see if we can try and secure the Tiny Bronco." Cloud replied.

"Are we gonna steal it?" asked Tommy.

"What? No! Nothing like that." Cloud said.

"Oh it's quite alright Mr. Strife, I've always wanted to rob someone!" Coomer said enthusiastically.

Cloud sighed and shook his head as he and the group came up to Cid's house.

As they entered his house they found the same woman they spoke with earlier doing some house cleaning. When she noticed them she stopped what she was doing and went over to greet them.

"You're all back." She said, "What did the Captain say?"

"Nothing much." Cloud replied.

"He did say we could have the Tiny Bronco though! So hand over the keys!" said Coomer, as he reached to pull out his machine gun.

"Coomer no!" Gordon shouted, stopping Coomer before he had a chance to take it out.

"Let's not lie and threaten people like this. I don't want to have a talk with you like I did with Tommy."

"Okay Gordon." Coomer said, as he let go of the M249.

"He didn't say we could have it or anything like that." Gordon said to the woman.

"But we were hoping you could somehow change his mind."

The door to the house opened and Cid and Bubby walked in.

"We're back you stupid bitch!" said Bubby.

"Bubbs! What'd I tell you about insulting her!" Cid barked.

"And Shera, are you stupid or something? We have guests! Make them some goddamn tea!"

"My apologies." She said, as she rushed to the kitchen to cook up tea.

Bubby then noticed Gordon.

"Why the fuck are you still here Gordon?" Bubby asked, annoyed at Gordon's presence.

"We just wanna borrow the Tiny Bronco, as soon as we have it we'll leave." replied Gordon.

"And I told you, you can't freaking have it! Now sit down and enjoy your tea!" Cid shot at the group.

"Shera! We'll be in the backyard if you need us. Make sure they have they're goddamn tea before they leave!"

"And try not to fuck it up! Just like you always do you useless good for nothing sack of shit!" Bubby added, as he followed Cid.

"I told you to stop insulting her Bubbs!"

"And I told you to stop calling me that!" They both shouted at each other as they went into the backyard.

Gordon sighed.

"Hey we're sorry about this, as soon as we have tea we'll get out of your hair."

"Don't apologize, he's always like this." Shera said, as she dished out tea onto the kitchen table.

"And it's my fault to begin with."

"What happened? Cloud asked, as he and the rest sat down.

"It all happened the day we were supposed to launch Shinra No. 26. Cid and Bubby were eager to get the rocket into space but I knew something was wrong with the oxygen tanks. I kept insisting to them that there was an issue but they wouldn't listen."

"Wait a sec." Gordon said,

"Bubby worked on the rocket too?"

"Correct, he was a recent hire that was put on the project."

"Wait." Cloud said, "Are you saying he works for Shinra?"

"That would be quite the twist if it's true!" said Coomer.

"I don't know." Shera said.

"But he claimed that he went to outer space before and that was enough for Cid to bring him onboard."

She then took a sip of her tea.

"Just as we were set to launch I was in the engine room. I still thought there was an issue with the oxygen tanks so I stayed in there to try and fix them."

"What happened next?" asked Tifa.

"Cid noticed I was still in the engine room. Bubby and I were insistent that he go and continue the launch, but…."

She then looked down at the ground, guilt etched on her face.

"Just as the rocket was launching he hit the emergency stop switch, saving my life."

She then took a long sigh.

"After the failed launch Shinra cut funding to the space program and suspended Shinra No. 26's take off indefinitely."

"Sounds like you fucked up their dreams!" said Coomer.

"Coomer!" Gordon shot at him with an unhappy look.

"No, it's fine. I did ruin both their dreams. They have every right to treat me like that."

She then looked up at the group.

"Although Bubby's always been an asshole ever since I first met him."

Gordon slightly laughed when he heard that.

Cid and Bubby then walked back in from the backyard.

"Well I see you've served them tea. At least you're good for something!" Cid said, sitting down to join the group.

"Now as soon as you're all done you can leave! Rufus is coming soon and I want to make sure everything is good for his arrival!"

"And this is our big chance to get the space program back up and running. And we don't need anyone fucking up." said Bubby, looking at Shera and Gordon.

"Bubby, are you working for Shinra?" Gordon asked.

"So what if I am?" said Bubby,

"I wanna go back to space and I need them to get me there!"

"Are you serious!?" Barret shouted, getting up from the table.

"You're gonna help those bastards just for your own selfish desires?"

"I don't see why not?" said Bubby,

"Going back to space is my only goal in life!"

"There's nothing out there," said Coomer.

As they were all arguing with Bubby, the front door opened and a man walked in. He was overweight and had a brown suit on. He had a similar haircut to Bubby's but had slightly less hair.

"Ah Cid, Bubby! there you both are!" He said.

"Palmer!" said Cid, getting up to go and greet the man.

"Is Rufus here too? Is he restarting the space program?"

"He fucking better be!" Bubby said, as he put his hand inside his coat.

"Or else."

"Why don't you ask him?" Palmer said,

"He just got here!"

"Well why didn't you say so!?" Cid shouted, as he and Bubby ran out the house.

The group all looked at each other.

"Well this might be our chance to get Rufus," said Gordon.


"What the fuck do you mean you're not restarting the program!?" Bubby could be heard shouting angrily. Cloud had the door to Cid's house slightly ajar as he and the others watched and listened from inside.

Rufus Shinra was outside surrounded by several Shinra troopers.

"It's just as I said. We are putting a hold on space exploration until Sephiroth and his accomplice are dealt with." Rufus replied in a professional manner.

"Now Cid, what we need right now is the Tiny Bronco. We have an idea of where they're both headed but we need your plane to cross the ocean."

"Are you freaking kidding me?" Cid asked, clearly pissed off.

"You come here getting both our hopes up that you're restarting the space program, only to nix it and now wanna take my plane from me!?"

"That is what I am telling you." Rufus said calmly.

"This is fucking bullshit!" Bubby shouted, reaching into his lab coat.

Immediately the Shinra troops aimed their rifles at both Bubby and Cid.

"I would advise against that Dr. Bubby." said Rufus, still keeping his calm and professional demeanor.

"Fuck that! You promised me that I would get to go back to space!"

"And you will, as soon as this situation has been resolved."

Neither Rufus or the troopers had noticed that Cloud and the rest were inside.

"Hey." Shera said, getting their attention.

"You all wanted to use the Tiny Bronco right? You better hurry because Palmer looks like he's gonna take it."

"Got it." Cloud said, as he and the group rushed to the backyard.

They saw Palmer was untethering the plane as he was mumbling something to himself.

"I'm the head of the space program and I'm subjected to this?" He complained.

"Hey!" said Cloud, getting Palmer's attention.

"We're taking that plane."

"Hey wait a sec. Don't I know you all from somewhere?" He asked, examining the group.

After a few moments his eyes lit up with surprise.

"I-I know you! You were at Shinra HQ!"

He then turned around and put his hands around his mouth, like he was ready to shout.

"S-Secur-!"

"Oh no you don't!"

Gordon ran in and delivered one of his signature chaingun swings on Palmer, sending him flying about 100 feet into the air screaming. After a few moments, gravity took over and Palmer fell downwards, feet first. Loud crunching noises could be heard as he hit the ground hard.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" He shouted, writhing on the floor in pain and grabbing his legs

"AHHAHAHAHAHAAA! AGHHHHHHHHH!"

"Cry me a fucking river!" Gordon shouted at Palmer.

"I got my arm sliced off! He got his arm shot off-" He said, pointing at Barret.

"And you just got your legs broken, you'll be fine!"

"S-SCREW YOU!" He shouted painfully at Gordon.

Gordon chuckled to himself as he turned to the rest of the group.

"Fine work Dr. Freeman!" said Coomer proudly.

"Yeah thanks Coomer." said Gordon, "Now let's get the hell out of here!"

They all ran onto the plane as its engine began revving up.

The plane then took off and began flying over the town.

"Who's piloting this thing!?" Barret asked, as he held on for dear life.

"Who cares? Just as long as it gets us outta here!" shouted Yuffie.

Gordon peeked inside. The pilot's face was blocked by a black tint but he could see they were wearing a blue suit.

'Wait a sec, isn't that-'

The plane then took a sharp turn, knocking Gordon out of his train of thought. It then flew down to where Bubby and Cid were. When Shinra troops noticed they immediately began firing onto the plane.

Without even thinking both Cid and Bubby chased after the plane, which was still low to the ground.

"Grab on!" Tifa shouted, extending her hand to Cid.

Cid was able to grab it and Tifa pulled him onto the plane. Coomer meanwhile was able to grab Bubby and get him onboard.

"I can't believe you'd leave without me Gordon! After all we've been through!" Bubby shouted.

"You didn't even want to come in the first place!" Gordon shot back.

"Uh guys!" Cait Sith shouted,

"One of the engines got hit!"

They all looked back and saw one of the engines was on fire, and the plane was slowly beginning to lose altitude.

"Oh crap what do we do!?"

"Emergency landing, now!" Cloud shouted, as the plane was now flying over the ocean.

The plane then descended into the sea with a loud splashing noise accompanying it.


"God dammit!" Cid shouted, as he was checking the engine that got shot.

"This thing's completely fried! There's no way we can fly her in this condition!"

"Well at least we're not neck deep in water." said Gordon, trying to stay optimistic.

"We're still out here in the fucking ocean Gordon! And we've been stuck here for hours!" Bubby shouted.

"Bubby, it's only been 10 minutes since we crashed." replied Gordon.

"Well it feels like hours!" He replied.

The group were currently sitting on top of the Tiny Bronco which had its engines damaged by gun fire. Cloud had his binoculars out and was trying to find any land nearby.

"Gordon, I'm thirsty," said Coomer.

"We're surrounded by a large body of water, Coomer, have that."

Without replying, Coomer got up and went to the edge of the plane and stuck his head into the ocean. His throat began to move as Coomer drank the salt water.

"Coomer!" shouted Tifa, as she dashed to stop him.

"Tifa, it's fine!" said Gordon, stopping her.

"I've seen him drink way worse, he'll be fine."

After much deliberation, Tifa reluctantly let Coomer continue to drink. He then unmerged his head from the water.

"Gordon, I'm full!" He said satisfied.

"Yeah I bet you are."

"Hey, does the water level look different to any of you?" Yuffie asked, as she noticed the water around the plane was slightly less than before.

"Well." said Cid, as he seemingly gave up on trying to fix the engine.

"I've tried everything but there's no way we can fly her in this condition."

"Why don't you join us?" Cloud asked, putting away his binoculars.

"Huh?" Cid asked.

"We're going after two people named Sephiroth and Benrey. One of these days we'll cross paths with Rufus too." Cloud replied.

"I'm not sure…" said Cid, as he pondered Cloud's offer.

"I'll join!" said Bubby.

"If that means I'll get a chance to get at Rufus for fucking me over I'll join you all!"

"Why should we let you join?" said Barret in a distrusting tone.

"You seemed pretty eager to do Shinra's bidding when we first met."

"I never said I worked for them!" Bubby shot at Barret.

"I was only using them so I could go back to space!"

"Hmph, whatever." said Barret, turning his head away from Bubby.

"You know what Bubby? Sure, you can join the group. But you have to accept the fact that Cloud is with the science team now." said Gordon.

Bubby looked at Cloud with a disapproving look before looking back at Gordon.

"Oh alright." He said.

"I'll tolerate him being a part of the Wolfpack."

"Yeah that's right- huh?" said Gordon, confused at what Bubby just said.

"Don't turn your back on the Wolfpack!" said Tommy.

"You might wind up in a body bag!" Coomer said, as he examined the water.

"You know what? If Bubby is joining you guys then I don't see any reason for me not to. So sign me up!" Cid said enthusiastically.

"Glad to have you aboard." said Cloud,

"Now we just have to get to land and find out where Benrey and Sephiroth are going."

"Rufus mentioned they were both going somewhere called the Temple of the Ancients."

"Huh?" said Cloud,

"You wouldn't happen to know where that is, do you?"

"No idea." replied Cid.

"Well for now we'll head to land and see if we can find any info on where it might be," said Cloud.

Although truth be told, something about this "Temple of the Ancients" bothered him.

"How are we gonna get back to land though?" Aerith asked.

"I might have an idea!" chimed in Coomer.

"What're you thinking Coomer?" asked Gordon.

"I believe I can use my legs and push the plane to shore!"

"You can do that?" asked Cait Sith,

"You'll be able to move this whole thing?"

"It won't be a problem at all!" Coomer replied, as he jumped into the water and swam behind the plane.

Everyone onboard felt a sudden jolt as the plane slowly began to move forward. Gordon looked over and saw Coomer was paddling his legs as he pushed the Tiny Bronco.

"Is he really doing it?" asked Aerith from the front.

"Yup!" Gordon replied.

"That's Coomer for ya!"

While they were moving, Barret was examining the cockpit.

"Huh, that's weird." He said.

"What is?" asked Tifa.

"The cockpit's empty."
