Cloud was surrounded by white light. He looked down to see the world far below his feet. He was suspended in the air far above the planet, but he felt no fear or discomfort. He looked up and saw Aeris standing a few paces away. He reached out to her and tried to call out her name, but he heard no sound. Still, she seemed to understand, for she looked at him and smiled. Then she looked down. He followed her gaze and saw a large island below them. He recognized it as one of the southern islands, the one that had held the Temple of the Ancients, in fact, for he could just barely make out the small clearing where it had once stood. He looked back up at her. She looked at him expectantly, her face showing no emotion except for her calm smile. It seemed she was trying to tell him something, but he had no clue what. He tried to ask, but again no sound came out. Then she looked down again and pointed. He looked down one more time. And then suddenly he was falling. He looked up to see her disappearing rapidly into the distance, the calm smile still on her face. He looked down and saw that he was dropping not onto the island but towards the water off it's southern shore. He felt no impact as he hit the water, but suddenly he was below it, sinking rapidly into the depths. He sank for a long time, but he still felt no discomfort or need for breath. The sea was filled with life, but none of it paid any attention to him. He looked down and saw that the bottom was now in view, and then he saw a cave on a small rise in front of him, a faint green glow emanated from it. He drifted down to the bottom right in front of it, and then slowly felt himself being drawn in. The glow grew brighter and sparkled in a familiar way, and suddenly he realized it was the glow of the lifestream. It filled the air all around him as he slowly drifted into the cave. He felt the tug of the current become stronger. The cave seemed to be filled with shadows that moved around him like living things. He had felt nothing but peaceful contentment up to this point, but suddenly he felt uneasy. The current grew stronger still, and for the first time he tried to resist. He made an attempt to swim back the way he had come, but it had no effect. He felt the current grow stronger still and now he was being pulled swiftly through the tunnel. Suddenly he saw the lifestream fade away into darkness and a black vortex opened up in front of him. He desperately tried to halt his progress, for he knew that if he was sucked into the dark abyss he would never return. His efforts were useless, and even as he felt himself being swept helplessly to his doom, he heard a familiar laughter ringing in his ears. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloud woke up with a start. He thought he had cried out, although he could not be certain. He sat up in the bed, looking around the room for a minute, confused. In a moment he remembered he and the others had headed back to Kalm after their little excursion to Midgar, and he was now sitting up in a bed in the backroom of Tifa's bar. The sun was shining brightly through the window, and he wondered how late it was. He got up and a short time later strolled into the bar proper. The others were gathered around one of the tables in the center of the room. Tifa came over to him as soon as she saw him. "We knew how exhausted you were from the battle and didn't want to disturb you," she said. "Sleep well?" He looked at her for a moment. It was obvious that she knew more about his dreams than he had thought, and he wondered now if she was somehow aware of his most recent one, but he could read nothing in her face. "Well enough," he replied. "Good," she said. "We've been waiting for you to get up so we can decide on the next step." They walked over and the others greeted him. He and Tifa both sat down. "Well, we've got the Crystal Materia," he said. "So I guess you're all wondering where do we go from here. Red?" "I'm afraid we don't have much to go on," Red replied. "I've been working on translating the book but it is difficult work. From what I have deciphered so far the Crystal Materia can only be used successfully in certain locations on the planet." "And where might that be?" Barret questioned. "There are several places mentioned," he replied, "but I have never heard of any of them, nor can I find any reference to them in any other book. I think this is because that they are not actually on the planet." "What do you mean?" Yuffie asked, puzzled. "I don't think the locations mentioned are geographical locations on the surface of the planet, rather they appear to be locations within the lifestream." "What exactly does that mean?" Tifa asked. "It's kind of hard to explain," Red answered. "There are certain places within the lifestream that are places of power. They are not tied to one geographical location on the planet, but rather represent crossroads in the flow of the lifestream." "So if they're not always in the same place, then how are we supposed to find them?" Cait asked quite reasonably. "I said that they are not tied to one place," Red replied. "But that doesn't mean they move. It just means they could move. If I understand correctly, some do not move at all, or move only after thousands of years. If we found a reference to the location of even one on the planet, chances are it would still be there." "But we don't know where one is," Cait pointed out. "No," Red answered. "It doesn't sound like we have much at all," Barret commented. "We don't even know how to get into the lifestream itself, much less find a major intersection." "We were in the lifestream once before," Tifa pointed out, looking at Cloud. He said nothing, but just sat there, apparently deep in thought. "That's right, at Mideel," Barret spoke up. "Perhaps that would be a logical starting place for us then," Red suggested. "No," Cloud said suddenly. They all looked at him. "No?" Tifa said. "No," he repeated. "We have to go to Junon." "Junon?" Cait and Yuffie said at once. They waited for him to explain. "Cloud?" Tifa prompted, a look of puzzlement and concern mixed on her face. He hesitated a moment more, then told them about the vision he had had that morning. "So what are you trying to tell us," Cait asked when he had finished. "That the dream was real?" "It wasn't a dream," Cloud said sharply. "It was more than that. It was so vivid, so real. I've never had dreams like this before. I can't explain how I know, but I just know. Aeris showed me the entrance to the lifestream. It's not in Mideel, it's in an underwater cave off the coast. If we go to Mideel we'll just be wasting our time." Some of the others looked skeptical, but none of them doubted Cloud's sincerity. Whether it was true or not, it was certain that Cloud believed what he had seen was the truth. Tifa just sat silently beside him, staring off into space. "So, even if you are right," Barret commented slowly. "Why do you want to go to Junon?" "In my vision," Cloud replied, "I could travel underwater with no ill effects, but I doubt if that will occur in reality. We left the submarine at Junon." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Red." Red turned as Tifa walked up beside him. The were alone in the bar now, the others preparing for the trip to Junon. "Do you think Cloud's visions are real?" she asked. "I don't know," Red replied with a shrug. "As I said before, most of what we once knew about the Ancients is lost. It is clear, however, that Cloud believes they are real." Tifa did not respond. She sat down at the table and stared out the window. "What's troubling you?" Red asked. She sighed. "I think he blames himself for her death," she said finally. Red wasn't surprised. "That's nonsense," he replied. Tifa shrugged. "I think he believes he could have stopped it, should have stopped it," she continued. "I think he feels guilty that he didn't. I think..." She stopped. He waited patiently for her to continue. "I'm sorry," she said suddenly. "I'm ranting. Sometimes I think he's losing his mind. Other times, I think I am." Red looked at her with a sympathetic eye. "You think he's having these visions because he blames himself for her death," he said slowly. She looked at him for a moment, then looked down at the floor. "I guess so," she said softly. "I've really tried to believe that she is trying to contact him, but I can't. She's dead, Red. Much as it hurts to say so, but that is what I really believe in my heart. Does that make me a terrible person?" "Not at all," he answered immediately. "To tell you the truth, I had a suspicion you might feel that way. You were the only one who did not hesitate when Aeris vision appeared in the Gi cave." "So what do I do Red?" she asked, turning to look at him once more. "What do I do?" He smiled. "I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of advice," he replied. "I would say that you should just keep on doing what you have been. I have a feeling that in the end it will all work out for you. In the meantime, the only thing I can tell you is to take your own advice." She looked at him, puzzled. "What do you mean?" "There was a time in our last adventure when all of the people with Hojo's tattoos seemed to be going mad. I was afraid that it would happen to me too. Do you remember what you told me then?" She paused for a moment in thought. Then she smiled. "I told you to be strong," she said finally. He placed a reassuring paw on her shoulder. "Be strong, Tifa, be strong." there, happy now? :p

rest of chapter 4.... ---- They were some type of zombie like creatures. Perhaps the residual Mako energy from Meteor had reanimated them. Some of them still wore tattered rags of what appeared to have once been Shinra uniforms. Whatever they were, there were half a dozen of them in the corridor, and Cait could see more coming around the corner. He had just settled into his fighting stance when Cloud burst past him, sword flashing. Three of the zombies went down before they had a chance to react, and the others hesitated, surprised by the ferocity of the attack. But as more and more of them came around the corner their boldness grew, until once again they surged forward. In moments the battle was joined in earnest. Tifa held back a little, using his materia to cast defensive spells around herself and her partners, only moving forward to attack when she was sure they were well protected. Cloud fought with no thought of defense, always advancing, always striking for the kill, and even though this tactic usually caused havoc among their enemies, it left Cloud dangerously exposed. It was usually up to Tifa or one of the other more methodical members of the party to protect him when he did. Cait was more deliberate, only advancing when the enemy was off balance or at a disadvantage. His huge Mog body could take as well as dish out an enormous amount of punishment. Not many of the zombies could stand in front of him for long. But in spite of their fighting skills they found themselves slowly being forced back. There seemed to be no end to their enemy, and for every one that fell two or three replaced them. It seemed that every creature in Midgar had been called to the attack. "There are too many of them," Tifa shouted. Cloud swung viciously and another zombie went down. He glanced around quickly. "You're right," he called back. "Get back into the room. I'll slow them down a little." Cloud held up a green materia orb as Tifa and Cait bolted for the room. They stepped to either side of the door once inside and stopped. There was a flash of blinding green light from the corridor and a tremendous roar, and then Cloud burst into the room. He slammed the door. "That won't hold them for long," he said, panting. "And neither will this door. I wonder were the others are?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barret paced back and forth in front of the door, feeling like a caged tiger. "Damn, " he said again. "That's not going to help," Yuffie pointed out. "I don't hear you coming up with any ideas," he snapped in return. "At least I'm not using up all my energy pacing and cursing," she answered. "And a fat lot of good all your energy is going to do you if we can't get out of here," he replied. Red ignored their repartee and looked at the water. He had to agree that their original assessment was correct. It was running much too swiftly for them to get across before they were dragged away. As he studied the water he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow beneath the foam, and suddenly the water started to bubble even more fiercely near the center of the channel. He stepped back. "I think there's something...." he began. The giant serpent burst up from beneath the foam with an ear splitting cry, showering them in a spray of foam. Even though Red had been prepared, he still was stunned momentarily. The creature reached back and swung a huge clawed hand at him. He recovered quickly enough to attempt to jump out of the way, but was not entirely successful. The hand struck him a glancing blow, yet it was still strong enough the toss him hard against the stone wall. He slumped to the ground. "****," Barret exclaimed. He opened up with his gun, blasting away at the creature. He saw Red go down but didn't get much of a look before the creature swung at him. He dodged and then moved back to the wall to stay as far away from the creature's claws as possible. He saw Yuffie fling her shuriken and then run swiftly in the other direction. The creature reared back and then let out another screaming cry. Then it struck again, this time swinging at Yuffie, who stood there unmoving for a moment, then desperately flung herself out of the way just in time. Barret shook the cobwebs out of his head. "It's using some kind of sonic attack, " he shouted over to Yuffie. "Try to stay away from it when it screams!" "If you see a place to hide, let me know," she called in return. He had to admit she had a point. The path on either side of the channel was narrow, barely six feet across. Well within the range of the huge serpents claws. There was no place to hide. Barret let go another blast, backing away slowly. They didn't seem to be doing much damage. He had his share of materia, but what spell would be best to use? The creature seemed to be at home in the water, so fire would seem the appropriate choice. But he knew he didn't have the fire materia. Who did? He looked at Red, who still lay stunned on the floor in the center of the tunnel. He pulled out a green materia. "Yuffie," he called, "keep it occupied!" She looked at him a moment, then threw her shuriken again and stepped right to the edge of the channel. The creature turned and lunged toward her. She dodged so desperately that she tumbled and nearly fell into the churning water. In an instant she was back on her feet scrambling away. "Thanks a lot!" she called back to him. Barret did not respond, for he was concentrating on the green materia in his hand. Red felt a surge of energy when he was hit with the cure spell. He shook his head and got up, feeling his mind clear. "Red, use fire!" he heard Barret call. The creature screamed at them again. Barret covered his ears, but it didn't seem to help much. The serpent turned and slammed both claws down on Yuffie, and for a moment Barret was certain she'd been crushed, but then he saw her scrambling away again, apparently unhurt. The creature screamed again, but this time in pain as it was hit by a huge ball of fire. Barret stepped forward and started to blast away with his gun again. There was a flash of light as Yuffie hit the creature with a lightning spell. The creature reeled back as Yuffie and Red hit it repeatedly with their spells while Barret continued firing. With one final scream it twisted around and sunk down below the raging water. "We toasted him," Yuffie yelled with glee. Barret sat down for a moment to catch his breath. They had killed the beast but they were still trapped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It only took a minute for the zombies to break through the door, but if they thought at all it was likely they regretted it. For when they opened it they were met by Cloud's flashing sword. The party was making it's stand just inside the entrance, which was narrow and easily defended. The zombies could only come at them two or three at a time, and for a long time they stood their ground. But there seemed to be no end to their enemy. Even after there was a pile of bodies in front of them that almost formed a solid wall, they still kept coming. Slowly the party was forced back in spite of all their attempts to prevent it. Cloud continued to swing his sword viciously at any zombie foolish enough to come within reach, but both Tifa and Cait had long ago resorted to casting spells that caused as much damage to as many zombies as possible. Tifa risked a glance behind her and saw that the back wall was just a few feet away. They could not retreat much further. She cast an ice spell and stepped backwards, almost stumbling with weariness They were all exhausted, and she knew she would not have the strength to continue for much longer. It seemed impossible that they could have attracted so much attention without Barret and the others hearing or seeing something. Or perhaps they were in the same situation somewhere else in the vaults. She was just beginning to feel desperate about their situation when the seemingly endless line of zombies suddenly petered out. Cloud swung his sword one more time and the final zombie fell. Then they all stood in silence, hardly believing that the battle was finally over. "We did it," Cloud said weakly, leaning on his sword for support. Cait sat down while Tifa leaned against the wall. They were too tired to respond. "Looks like we caught you at a bad time," said a strange yet familiar voice. They all looked up to see a man in a neat blue suit standing in the doorway. Behind him two other people stepped into view. "Turks," Cloud said softly. "Great." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So what do we do now?" Yuffie asked. Barret sat with his back against the wall, while Yuffie, without realizing it, was now pacing back and forth. Red was wandering around staring at the tunnel around them. "I'm thinking," Barret replied. "In that case we could be here a very long time," she remarked. Barret did not answer. He was too worried to be baited by her verbal sparring. Someone had deliberately locked them in here, and the only reason he could think of someone doing that was to get them out of the way. He felt that Cloud and the others were in desperate trouble. "We have to get out of here," he muttered. Red strode over to them. "Perhaps we can," he said. "Look at those pipes." Barret followed Red's gaze. In the corner near one end of the tunnel, almost hidden in the shadows, two narrow pipes ran up the wall. He looked up and saw that they ran into the ceiling above, but another pipe ran out of the wall not to far from them. This one ran across to the other side of the tunnel into the far wall right next to the ladder. He looked at Red. "Someone might be able to make that," he said slowly. "But those pipes would never support your weight," Red pointed out. "And you, of course, have already mentioned that climbing is not one of your talents," Barret returned. They both turned to look at Yuffie, who had stopped pacing and was looking at the water now, unaware of their conversation. "Oh Yuffie, " Barret called pleasantly. "We've got a little job that requires your ninja skills. It'll also give you a chance to get over your fear of heights." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Did somebody take out an advertisement in the paper announcing we would be in Midgar today?" Tifa questioned. Reno stepped into the room and looked them over, a sly look on his face. Rude and Elena followed. "I wouldn't know about that," Reno said casually. "The truth of the matter is we have no quarrel with you. We were sent here to obtain a particular item. An item that seems likely now to be in your possession. If you would be kind enough to hand it over we can all avoid an unseemly altercation." Cloud gave a short bark of laughter. "I seem to recall that the last time we had an unseemly altercation the Turks came up at the short end of it," he said fiercely. Elena stepped forward. "I told you they wouldn't listen," she said sharply. "C'mon, let's just finish them." Reno held up his hand. "Control yourself, Elena," he answered calmly. "In their weakened condition it would hardly be a fair fight. Besides, they were kind enough to open up the vault for us and eliminate any other opposition. We own them a debt of gratitude. Give us the Crystal Materia and I give you my word as a Turk that you will not be harmed." "And if you are hoping that your friends will show up to give you a hand," Elena added, "then you are in for a disappointment." "What did you do to them!" Tifa exclaimed. "Just led them astray with a simple ruse," Reno replied. "I assure you they were unharmed when we left them. Now, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer. Will you give us the materia?" Cloud lifted up his sword and held it in front of himself. "Not likely," he answered grimly. "So be it," Reno stated, as if he had known all along. The Turks attacked simultaneously. This fight was considerably different from their battle with the zombies, who had used brute force and large numbers to try to overpower them. The Turks attacked with a coordinated well thought out plan. They did not press the attack at close range, preferring to hold back and pummel Cloud and his friends with magic spells. Tifa realized the wisdom in this. In their exhausted state they would soon be too weak to use their own spells, and this was a safer course then a direct physical confrontation, where even in his weakened state Cloud was still capable of doing serious damage with his weapon. Tifa saw Cloud fall backward as he was hit by a blast from Reno's electromag rod. She turned to cast a cure spell but nothing happened. She realized she no longer had the strength to use her materia. With a sinking felling she realized they could not win this battle. As if they could feel Cloud and his friends weakening, the Turks pressed forward, increasing the power of their attacks. Suddenly Tifa felt burning pain as fire flashed around them. She stumbled backwards and fell. She looked over to see the other members of the party down as well. With sudden resolve they all slowly got up, and stood with their backs literally to the wall. If they were going to lose, they would sell themselves dearly, she thought. The Turks started forward but were interrupted by a blast of gunfire. With a shout Yuffie and Red ran past Barret and threw themselves into the fray. The Turks were instantly demoralized by the sudden appearance of reinforcements, and immediately were put on the defensive. With renewed vigor Cloud, Tifa and Cait sprang forward to join their friends, but the Turks gave way, knowing that the battle was hopeless now. They turned and retreated into the corridor, and Cloud was too tired to pursue them. Reno stopped and turned toward them. "Apparently our simple ruse was a little too simple," he said. "You've won this round, but you know this isn't the end of it. We'll see you again soon enough." Cloud knew that was true, but he said nothing as they turned and disappeared down the corridor. "You guys got here just in a nick of time," Tifa exclaimed. "That's apparent," Yuffie said, seeing their obvious exhaustion. Barret resisted the urge to snap at her. After all, she had climbed across those pipes in the tunnel and gotten out quickly enough to release them and get them here in time. In spite of her character, she did have her uses. "Well, it's all over now," Cloud said. "We have the Crystal. I suggest we follow the Turks example and get out of here as fast as possible." chapter 5 will be posted, when I can get round to it, bah....

I don't think they should make a zelda movie, they would definately ruin it....

soccer, snooker, and basketball, though I like to play just about any sport, those 3 are the only one's I like watching....

man, that sucks, I hope your principal gets whats coming to him, like james already said.... there seems to be a big homosexuality problem at my university, everyone seems to be afraid of gay people, which I think is just plain wrong, so to piss other people off, I go and hang around with them, they're much more interesting than those who fear them, they're better friends too, heck, a lot of people at university act like kids saying, oh this is gay, thats gay, your gay for looking at those gays, blah blah blah, its just damn irritating, and now they're talking about me, saying how I can be hanging around with gays if I'm married, and I had a good argument with a few people around it, saying.... "what? so because I hang around with gay people, does that make me any different? does that mean I'm becoming gay myself? and why do you fear gay people? its all just sexual preference, they're not going to pull your pants down and **** you if you get near them, if someone isn't gay, then they're not going to try anything with them, and by that I mean flirt, or ask them out, whatever, I just think you guys are being azzholes for having a totally different opinion on someone just because of their sexual preference" so, yeah, I was in a bad mood that day, and just let out both barrel's when I heard them say that crap about me, and about your friend cross dressing, tn, I personally don't see any problem with it, people wear clothes to express themselves, and to take that priviledge away from them is stupid.... bah, in a bad mood today again, I think I'll shut up now....
