RPG Final Fantasy 7: Resurrection

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cloud had just come down from his room with Lethe behind him. He had been sitting up there telling Lethe why he cried. After he was done he had heard what sounded like a body hitting the ground, he walked down the stairwell and saw Blaze sitting back up, he then explained what had happened back in Cosmo Canyon to Blaze. Now the group was sitting down around the table discussing what will be going on today. Cloud had wanted to go to this new Midgar but in disguise and do some reconissance, of course they would be on the upper level and they would infiltrate the main building.[/i]

Cloud: So, we agree we're going to this New Midgar in disguise right?

Vincent: I agree. We should also take a Shinra plane or something like that so as not to attract attention.

Cloud: Right. Blaze? Can you go tell Cid what we need? I'll go get some civilian clothes. Okay?

Tifa: You weren't planning on leaving me behind were you??

Cloud: Uhhhh... No, why would we do that, besides if we did you'd follow us anyways so what's the point??

Tifa: You're right there. I would follow you.

[i]Everyone started to make preperations for the upcoming events for today.[/i][/COLOR]

[The Harlequin]

[font=gothic][color=crimson][I]Vincent didn't exactly have a lot of preparations to make. He strapped his shotgun to his back, under his cloak, but still within easy reach, and left. Before someone dragooned him into helping pack.

He walked quickly, his long easy strides eating up ground at a rapid rate. The town quickly gave way to wilderness, and he felt far more at home. Beasts always did.

But then, they were all beasts at heart. Every human being, and especially those not so human, was corrupted. Most were born corrupted. Some were drawn into it. A few embraced it. But it was very rare for one to be dragged kicking and screaming into it. But then, he now welcomed the darkness.

His thoughts continued along this brooding path for nearly an hour. He started, noting the time, and returned to town, waiting for everyone else to get organised.[/font][/color][/I]

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Blaze stood, knees shaking so hard he could barely stand. He was real after all. But Shinra had ruined his life, tried to, at least. And Sephiroth was behind it all. Blaze walked out to Cid's hangar, where Cid had left the PHS.[/i]

[b]Blaze:[/b]Hey, Cid, you there?

[b]Cid:[/b]Blaze, that you? Whatcha need, I'll be right over.

[b]Blaze:[/b]Cloud, Tifa, and Vincent are heading out to New Midgar and they need a Shinra plane.

[b]Cid:[/b]The only "Shinra" plane I got's the Highwind.....alright! I get to bring out the one and only Highwind again! I'll be over in a sec, just gotta handle this little problem.

[i]Blaze sighed and tossed the PHS to Tifa, who had followed him. She looked at the tired, apologetic look on his face and sighed.[/i]

[b]Tifa:[/b]You aren't coming with us?

[b]Blaze:[/b]Nah. I can't fight like this. My nerves are shot. I gotta talk to Siren....[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]Lethe quickly grabbed her various elixers and potions and dropped them into her leather bag, then she slung it over her back and tied down the straps easily. She belted her robes with the chain silver she had been given....then picked up her staff. With light movements, she went downstairs and pulled her cloak off the wall. Then she waited with Vincent....

Unconcerned, but somewhat worried for Cloud's sanity.[/i][/COLOr]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cloud stood in his room packing at least 20 ethers, 10 elixers, and 30 Hi-Potions. He looked at himself in the mirror, he had put on a long trenchcoat with a hat on over his regular blue clothes (i really don't know if they are blue or not, i'm talking about the clothes from the game.) his sword was also hidden underneath his coat, he sighed and walked down the steps and outside, the warm mountain air greeted him, he breathed in deeply as he walked towards the hangar, he could see Cid was tinkering with his baby, the Highwind. After they had defeated Sephiroth and rebuilt Nibelehim Cid had started reconstructing the old engines for the Highwind and some new features as well, such as two nicely sized laser cannons, but he had never had the time to practice with them, or a large enough target. Cloud walked into the Highwind and into the bridge, he saw Cid and Tifa sitting there, but Blaze wasn't there for some reason.[/i]

Cloud: Where's Blaze?

Tifa: Said he was sitting this one out, said his nerves were shot and he wanted to talk with Siren.

Cloud: Oh. Okay. Say, are we gonna stop by Yuffie's hometown before we head for this New Midgar??

Tifa: If we didn't i think she'd kill us all in our sleep for not taking her.

Cloud: Heh. Lets just hope she doesn't get airsick anymore.

???: Not funny Cloud Strife!

Cloud: Wha?? Yuffie? Good to see you.

Yuffie: I was in the neighborhood and decided to drop by and see what you were up to. So is you know who back or is just me?

Cloud: Yes, he's back.... But we'll kill him again if it garuntee's the planet's safety.

Cid: Well, i gotta do a few more repairs, otherwise all we could do is go to Midgar and not back.

[i]Cid walks off the bridge as his boots clank against the metal grating Cloud takes a seat at a console and thinks to himself.[/i]

Cloud: [i]Thinking[/i] I promise Aeris, i will make Sephiroth pay for what he did to you, on my sword i swear it, i will kill him! [/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Like a thunderbolt, Lethe's thoughts crashed through his head, quickly and painfully.

"I have my own claim to fufill Cloud. You'll have to be quick if you want him to die by your hand."

He stared at her, unbelieveing that her calm adittude betrayed such a dark and sinister thought. She smiled at him egnimatically and looked away lazily.[/i][/COLOR]

[Raquel]

Siren sat in a dark corner of her room, plauged by thoughts of the past... Her body shook and she wrapped her well muscled arms around her knees... Her entire existance had been devoted to hunting down and slaughtering Sephiroth... By all rights, she should be going with the others... Only, she coulden't force her light dazed body to move...

She stared out the window at the true blue sky... It at been so long... The last time she saw the light of day was the day Sephiroth attacked them... She ran her fingers along and jagged scar across her throat... What she woulden't have given to slaughter the silver haired demon...

She shook the thoughts of murder and hatred from her mind... She stood, her cloak falling from her shoulders to form an inky pool of darkness at her feet...

Her pale skin looked to be lit from the inside with a cold silver fire... Her ebony hair spilled down her back, stopping just short of her thin waist... Her hands were like pale spiders, clutching her shoulders... The scar was obscured by a black scarf, wrapped around her neck... Amber eyes peered out from behind stray strands of her raven hair...

She slipped down the stairs, barefoot in her decision to step into the light once again... At the door of the inn she hesitated and looked back... It wasen't too late to return to the dark saftey of her room... Banishing that thought, Siren stepped into the light and threw her arms up, blinded by the bright day all around her... Tears squeezed through her tightly shut lids and she blinked them away, slowly lowering her arms... A hand on her shoulder caused her to turn and blink away the spots left in her eyes...

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Blaze's tortured eyes met those of Siren. He held up his hand, trying to steady himself on the doorway. He fell backwards onto a chair a woman in a pink dress left him, wondering exactly who she was. When he turned, nobody was there. But there was a Great Gospel playing on the self-playing organ, and a Full Metal Staff laying against the wall.[/i]

[b]Blaze:[/b]Siren....the word that's kept me going. The very thought of completeing my promise drove me to find you. I thought Sephiroth had killed you...

[b]Siren:[/b]Hush....you're shaking. You need rest.

[b]Blaze:[/b]I don't need rest, I need to come to grips. I mean, first Spehiroth reappears, Shinra resurfaces, weird things keep happening in Cloud's bar, you show up, and Cait Sith has been trying to tell fortunes again.....

[b]Siren:[/b]Yeah, you have to be Blaze Feneris. Only you could have a sense of humor during a complete nervous breakdown.

[i]She took Blaze's hand, held it firmly. A woman wearing a pink dress walked up the path, heading for the church and beckoning Blaze and Siren.[/i]

[b]Blaze:[/b]What the hell?

[b]Woman:[/b]Now's your chance to fulfill your promise....

[b]Siren:[/b]Church....priestess....promise....

[b]Blaze:[/b]This is kinda scary. She looks like that picture on Cloud's dresser...

[b]Siren:[/b]Well....I'll take the chance if you will.

[b]Blaze:[/b]Are you sure? I mean, we only just remet....[/color]

[color=green][i]It had been a long flight. Cid's constant swearing and disregard for any political correctness interested Kief, like not many people could. Cid had been, and still was a friend of Cloud, and was going to see him, as it happened. Unable to let an oppertunity to meet the man his uncle spoke so highly about pass, Kief strapped himself in, and sailed off into the skies.

Although the flight stretched on for hours, Cid kept Kief entertained with stories of how a band of eco warriors (himself included), brought to an end the reign of the Shinra corporation, the threat of Meteor and the man responsible for it all, Sephiroth. Sephiroth - the ex-Soldier who's tainted life and twisted ideals hurt many people beyond recovery. The expert swordsman, whose origin's were shrouded in mystery. The man whose impossible ambition had been within his grasp, only to be taken from him by outside influence. Oh yes, he had heard a lot about the fabled Sephiroth, and he intreguied Kief more than any other person. The man was a monster, yes, but Kie respected him, and admired him - he was a master in his art, his goals far surpassing any other mans, much like Kief himself. How could he loath such a great man? Yet he did.

And so, Kief fell asleep miles above the air, on his way to an adventure he never would have dreamed of.

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Spooked by Lethe's little conversation to him mentally, Cloud had left the hangar with the Highwind, he wandered around and saw a flash of pink fabric heading into the Church.[/i]

Cloud: No...It couldn't be...Could it??

[i]Cloud ran into the church and looked around, he then looked right in front of him, a girl had her back to him, a long light brown braid fell down her back, and atop the back of her head was a red bow. Cloud walked up behind her, the woman stood up and turned to face him.[/i]

Cloud: :eek: Aeris? Is that you?? But...I thought you were...I thought you were..

Blaze: Is this you're girlfriend Cloud?

Cloud: Yes..But i thought she was...

Aeris: Dead? I was, but somehow i was revived. Cloud.. I missed you. I..

Cloud: Sssshhhhh...

[i]Cloud wrapped his arms around her waist and the two shared a passionate kiss, right then Tifa and Yuffie walked in.[/i]

Yuffie and Tifa: OH MY GOD!!!! AERIS YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!

[i]Tifa ran off to get the others and show them who just made a miraculous return from the dead.[/i]
--------------------------------------------
OOC: User Name, i don't know what you mean, Cid is in the same town as everyone else. Oh well. [/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Lethe eyed Aeris thoughtfully. There were only two ways for her to have appeared again. One was the Crystal materia...and the other was an illusion conjoured by a very powerful sorcerer of some sort.....no other could have been able to reproduce a homunculus of Aeris that could be physically touched and felt and sensed....this real. She looked at Aeris....she seemed real enough.

But Lethe wasn't placated....she couldn't be enough.[/i][/COLOR]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cloud saw Lethe eyeing Aeris rather carefully, he stepped away from Aeris and walked over to Lethe.[/i]

Cloud: What's wrong? You look distracted.

Lethe: Not to burst your bubble or anything, but i don't think that could be the real Aeris, it could be a fake.

Cloud: You're right. Here, here is something only she would know about.

[i]Cloud produces a piece of clothing that looked like a woman's clothing article. He walked over to Aeris and held it out in front of him.[/i]

Cloud: If you are the real Aeris, you'll know what this is.

Aeris: Its part of that woman's outfit you wore when we infiltrated Dario's place. (is this the right name? I don't want this to sound weird but i think thats the name.)

Cloud: She's right.. She is the real one.

Aeris: What, you thought i wasn't??? You do know that the White Materia responded to two lovers wish to be together right??

Cloud: No.. Explain please.

Aeris: Say there are two lovebirds, except the female one dies, well lets say that the White Materia were to react to this loss, it would respond to the Male's strong love for the female and the Female would be brought back to life, comepletely.

Cloud: Whoa... Well, we're going to fight Sephiroth..

Aeris: What?? I thought you killed him.

Cloud: We did, but somehow he came back to life.. I don't know how but he is, and he's rebuilt Midgar anew. We're going there to put a wrench in his plans, if not kill him.

Aeris: Well i'm coming. Plus, i can help heal anyone.

Cloud: Great, just stay next to me the whole time. This time i will protect you, I swear it.[/COLOR]

[Talon]

[color=teal][b]???:[/b]You're all wrong. She is the real Aeris, but she has only a short amount of time here.

[b]Blaze:[/b]Who....who are you?

[b]???:[/b]My name is of little concern, but you ought to know, if you wish to revive that young woman completely, you need my blood, mixed with the blood of my son. Cloud, your Buster Sword is covered in my son's blood from the time you used it right after Zack died....

[b]Cloud:[/b]Zack? But that means...you're Jenova! But you have to be dead! Your blood, Sephiroth's blood....what th hell is wrong?!?! Don't take her away from me again! Damnit, i'd give her my life, just don't take her from me....

[b]???:[/b]You have my blood, the blood of Sephiroth IS my blood. But my son......my son is in your very midst. My TRUE son.....my Feneris......help your cousin....help your sister Cetra....

[b]Cloud:[/b]Feneris? Isn't that Blaze's last name? Blaze....

[i]The party turned to the young man in their midst, but he was writhing in pain. His body contorted harshly, his very being disrupting upon itself. A pink, gooey figure appeared in the altar, drawing the spilling blood of Blaze and the blood from the sheathed Buster Sword into one large, blue materia. The Sapphire Materia. Good for absolutely nothing, as Aeris once thought. Yet it had one use. Resurrection. The Sapphire conjoined with Aeris, melding and forming a complete form. Yet still Blaze writhed.[/i]

[b]???:[/b]Wait! Mother! I found you! At last mother! I have come!

[b]Jenova:[/b]No! Sephiroth, you are not my son! Blaze is! You are nothing to me! Let my son be!

[b]Sephiroth:[/b]ARGHH! This rat cannot be my brother! Look how he writhes at the truth of his own past! See how he...wait.....that isn't natural.

[b]Cloud:[/b]RUN!

[b]Jenova:[/b]Yes, Blaze, live up to your name as the Feneris! Become one with your wolf self!

[i]Blaze contorted, his body wracking upon itself. He stood once more, his eyes glowing with rage. Sephiroth vanished, presumably back to Shinra, and Jenova shook her head. Blaze calmed his breathing, settling into his mind.[/i]

[b]Blaze:[/b]No....I am Blaze Feneris. I am human. I don't care, mother or not, I have a life. My goal is to avenge the wounds inflicted upon me by Sephiroth. I am in love with Siren Kojia, and as such I would cross the ends of the Earth and make them meet if it would mean keeping my promise.

[b]Cloud:[/b]I am Cloud Strife, hero of Meteor. I am human. I am in love with Aeris Gainsborough, and as such, i would give my life to preserve hers. My goal is to destroy Sephiroth for the murder of Aeris, and to thank and praise the blood of Blaze Feneris for reuniting me with her.

[i]The rest of the present party made similar vows. Jenova shook her now-immaterial head, drifting into nothingness. She left mere statements, directed at her son and Cloud.[/i]

[b]Jenova:[/b]My son, Cloud, take care of those you love. And Blaze, my son, I am sorry you didn't know sooner. I am sorry nobody knew sooner. Remember, Cloud, never make Aeris cry....Siren.....take....care...of.....Blaze.......

[i]The church fell silent, Marlene gasping for breath.[/i]

[b]Barrett:[/b]Omigawd! Marlene, sweetie, you okay?!?

[b]Marlene:[/b]It was an angel! An angel!

[i]The entire church filled with the sound of easy laughter for a time. Then Blaze smiled and Siren's hand found his. They sat down in a pew together, watching Cloud and Aeris tearfully catch up on their lost time...[/color][/i]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cloud and Aeris walked out of the church, they stood in the square, just standing there. Cloud looked over at Aeris and saw tears flowing down her cheeks, he took off his gloves and with his bare hands brushed her tears away.[/i]

Aeris: You know, the whole time i was with you on your adventure i never knew what your hands felt like.

Cloud: Well, what do they feel like to you?

Aeris: Rugged, callous, but also gentle and loving.

[i]She turned to him with a huge grin on her face.[/i]

Aeris: Cloud, ever since i met you i knew i loved you, i.. I just never had the courage to tell you. Well you now know i do.

Cloud: When I saw Sephiroth stab you, it felt like a part of me died as well. When we buried you, you looked so...

Aeris: Please, don't talk about that. So, when will we be taking the Highwind to Midgar?

Cloud: Soon. Cid needed to make some...

[i]Just then Cid came over the PA.[/i]

Cid: Hey! Everyone that is going to Midgar please head to the Highwind at this moment. We're gonna go kick Sephiroth's ***!! So anyone thats going better get here NOW!!!

Cloud: Well, looks like he finished. We better go.

Aeris: Okay, let me get my staff and my healing Materia.

Cloud: Okay.

[i]Cloud waited for Aeris, she came running back out, then they headed for the airship. As soon as they boarded they saw everyone else, except for Blaze and Siren, Cloud told everyone he would be back. Cloud ran out to where Siren and Blaze were.[/i]

Cloud: Are you two going now?[/Color]

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Blaze sighed, pulling out his kitana, but Siren stopped him. She pulled out a long, red kitana with dragon insignia on the blade. His Muramasa.[/i]

[b]Siren:[/b]The only weapon I would ever enjoy seeing you use. Use it now. It isn't the strongest blade in the world, but it does look good on you.

[i]Blaze pulled his mythril kitana from his scabbard, replacing it with his beloved Muramasa. He felt his troubled mind wash int the battle rage, his aching heart healed by the love at his side. Sephiroth was going to die, oh yes, he was going to die.[/i]

[b]Barrett:[/b]Looks like we're gonna need a leader. I nominate ME!

[b]Aeris:[/b]You think so? I was thinking Blaze!

[b]Tifa:[/b]Blaze!

[b]Cid:[/b]The fires of Hell are colder than that kid! Blaze!

[b]Siren:[/b]You all know what I'm going to say.

[b]Cloud:[/b]Finally, somebody else is leader!

[b]Lethe:[/b]Blaze.

[b]Vincent:[/b]I care not who becomes leader, but I do care who stops that familiar creature from destroying the Highwind.

[b]Cid:[/b]Hey, that thing looks like one of those WEAPONs, you know, Ultimate, Ruby, and Emerald?

[b]Cloud:[/b]But those were only......oh no! He's not going to do it again! He can't! We have to stop Sephoroth quick!

[b]Barrett:[/b]Look! On WEAPON's head! The white-haired freak's got a materia! But it ain't black! It's red!

[i]Sephiroth held his hands up to the sky, summoning Ramuh against the party and vanishing. The lightning attacks hit the engines of the Highwind, overloading them. What's more, the giant Sapphire WEAPON was closing in on the ship.[/i][/color]

[The Harlequin]

[font=gothic][color=crimson][I]Vincent silently sighed, and when he spoke, only he heard it.[/I]

Vincent: Now why the hell can't any of these people do anything without all this I wanna be a hero, and lets all be cloying noble, and whatnot crap?

[I]As usual, he didn't get an answer. Perhaps if he'd bothered to say it loudly...But that tended to annoy people. Not that he cared. Vincent took his usual room on the airship, and locked it behind him. (OOC: Look, I don't care, there are rooms now) He sank down on the bed, his shotgun beside him, as always. An old axim he heard once "Keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark". It had saved his life more than once. Of course....he'd also heard that you should wreck the malls with cows on Harleys. He wasn't exactly sure what it meant, but he was pretty sure it was irrelevant. But then you got that.

You also got the forces of the universe aligned against you. At least, he always seemed to end up along side the person the universe currently didn't like. I mean, once was one thing, several times? If Vincent ever got his hands on the cosmic jester that controlled his life... The cruel hand fate had slapped him with would be returned in kind.[/font][/color][/I]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cloud saw the huge weapon closing in, it was bigger and probably stonger than the other weapons they had encountered, and plus, Cloud didn't have his Ultima Weapon anymore, he buried it in Cosmo Canyon, all he had was the Ultima Materia but he was a little wary of using it. Cloud turned to Cid.[/i]

Cloud: You ready to use the backup engines and your two new laser cannons?

Cid: You read my mind. Everyone on the ship!!!

[i]Everyone hightailed it into the ship as her backup engines roared to life, the propeller engines Cid had re-installed fell off to reveal the hidden Jet Engines, the ship then screamed out of the hangar and took to the air, Cid posistioned it right in front of Sapphire but at a safe distance.[/i]

Cid: Charging laser cannons....Ready....Aim....FIRE!!!!!

[i]Two bright multi-colored lights eminated from two huge cannons located on the bottom of the ship, the lasers intertwined together before slamming into the WEAPON's face, sending it flying back, soon it was retreating into the forest.[/i]

Cid: AWWWWWWW...Little piece of cannon fodder get back here and....

[i]Just then the warning alarms sounded, the cannons had to shut down otherwise they would overheat and blow the entire ship to kingdom come.[/i]

Cloud: You were saying Cid?? I don't think we'll be using those for awhile.

Cid: DAMMIT!! I wanted to use these puppies on Midgar. Oh well, let's get going!

[i]The ship adjusted her course and shot off for Midgar.[/i]
--------------------------------------------
OOC: I hope no one minds if i threw in two laser cannons, i'd mentioned them earlier if no one remebers, i just thought i'd have Cid use em'.[/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Lethe curled up in a corner of her room and buried her face against her knees. Not only was this whole ordeal making her sick, the fact that Aeris was back bordered on nauseation. She was too perfect, and could heal and all that other shît. She closed her eyes and willed herself to block off the negative feelings surging out of control within her. Then a very familiar voice broke into her thoughts. It was both seductive and cold.

"You don't have to stay with them. Come with me."

"What could you possibly want with me?"

"You have a complex mind...and you think that scar on your chest meant nothing? It's something...and Cloud will never be able to use his like yours. You don't love...and he does."

The voice was tempting, and Lethe could feel her better resolve slipping away into nothingness.[/i][/COLOR]

Kief woke just as the night darkness closed in around him. Of course he was still in the abandoned launch site, in Rocket town, Cid would be gone for days yet. Kief had dreamed the whole flight. It had seemed so real and fitting at the time. He was having a lot of strange dreams recently. Mostly about people he didn't know, or things he didn't understand. If only it would have been reality, he could have rushed to the aid of whatever misfits were in need of his services elsewhere.

After buying extensive supplies from the midnight shop, he left town to continue his journey, still alone. Gosh, he was starting to feel lonely. It must have been fate, but just as he was wishing he could have a companion, he happened along a small boy, at the mercy of five strange bird like creatures. Kief checked his adventurers handbook for a reference on his new foe, but found none, whatever these creatures were, they were not in any book.

Kief sprang into action, and took out the threat with a beautiful display of style and finese. They dropped to the ground, dead. He helped the boy to his feet.[/i]

Kief - What's your name, boy ?

Boy - I have no name sir, or at least, I do not recall one.

Kief - But what will I call you ?

Boy - You called me "Boy" before, that seems sufficent.

Kief - Boy ? Boy it is then. What are you doing all the way out here, Boy?

Boy - I do not know, sir, I cannot recollect many memories, only small fragments of the past.

Kief - You speak mighty strange for such a young child !

Boy - If you don't mind me asking, sir, may I come with you, as I am without destination.

Kief - Yeah, alright. But I my next destination is over the water, and I don't know how I'm going to get there.

Boy - Do not fear, sir, as I have the unique ability of flight. I can transport us there.

[i]Kief smiled. The kid was wierd, but he was interesting, and Kief was lonely. Besides, the kid could fly, and Kief needed a lift ![/i]

[Raquel]

Siren blinked once and turned away from Blaze... There was a whispering in the corner of her mind...

Siren: Lethe...

She muttered and stood, walking to the womans room as if asleep... She knocked on the door, and when no one awnsered she slid open the door and stepped inside... Siren's eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness and the whispering grew louder... she took a hesitant step forward, and stopped whrn she saw the figure of Lethe curled in the corner...

Siren: ... Lethe... Don't... Listen to him...

Her eyes clouded over...

Siren: He will use you to his own ends.... Don't listen...

She staggered forward and fell to her knees beside her... She placed a hand on Lethe's elbow and the voive amplified...

"Come..."

Siren felt a force tugging at her, pulling her away from the floor of the ship. Away from the solid reality on the Highwind...

Then everything was black...

She could still feel Lethe's arm under her hand...

Siren: Lethe... Where ar-

"You... I did not summon you..."

Siren looked up at a figure looming out of the shadows, into a pair of burning green eyes...

Siren: NOO!!!

There was a flash of silver and a loud crack as her head hit the floor of Lethe's room...

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]A violent rocking within his own soul sent Blaze toppling through an open hatch, plummeting down into the forest far below him. One word summed up every single emotion running through him.[/i]

[b]Blaze:[/b]Sir...e...n....

[i]He fell into the forest near Fort Condor, bashing his skull against an oak tree's trunk. He blinked three times, feeling the pain that Siren felt before closing his eyes in a shattered coma....[/i][/color]

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cloud, Aeris, and Tifa were sitting at a tabe in the small mess hall, they were just sitting there sipping their drinks and joking.[/i]

Tifa: As I said, Cloud still can't cook.

Cloud: [i]Chuckling[/i] Yup, I went from not being able to cook to just being able to just burn food.

Aeris: OMG!!! :laugh: :laugh:

[i]Just then Cid came over the P.A.[/i]

Cid: Uhhh guys, we have a problem. Lethe, she's gone a little CRAZY!!!

[i]The three looked at each other and nodded, it was Sephiroth. The three ran for the bridge, as they entered they saw Lethe edging near the helm controls, Tifa ran at her to get her away but Lethe turned around and swung rather violently at Tifa, who managed to backflip away just in time.[/i] [/COLOR]

[Raquel]

Siren stood and staggered out of the room... Blood matted her hair and ran in rivulets down her pale face... She moved forward, past Tifa and the others...

Tifa: Siren! What are you doing?! Look out!

The warning had come too late, as Lethe's fist connected solidly with her jaw... Siren's knees buckled and she fell to her knees... Her hand flew out and touched Lethe lightly... A pulsing red light surrounded the two women and Siren accessed Lethe's limit break, Silver Noose... Time slowed the the pulse of the light sped up... It exploded in fragments And Siren and Lethe froze, captured by the binding affects of the accessed attack...

Scenes played in the her mind... Blaze falling, the location of where he hit, Sephiroth's blindingly green eyes... All the colors swirled together and then went black again...

[Raiha]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]Lethe felt Sephiroth's arms around her, and the two of them were gone. Far away from both the Highwind, and everyone else. Everything turned upside down, and Lethe let go of her better thoughts and slipped away.

Several hours later, she awoke to the sound of Sephiroth's heart beating. She opened her eyes and looked up into his painful green eyes. He stared back and smiled.[/i]

Sephiroth: You had me worried for a moment.....after that girl used your limit break, I actually had to use my power to break you free.

Lethe: Why are you doing this for me?

Sephiroth: ...you have the heart I like.

Lethe: Jaded?

[i]He lauged and stood up, still holding her in his arms. She loked away, but he touched her chin, turning her face towards his. He bent down and kissed her.....and she was lost.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cloud staggered up and saw everyone staggaring to stand up. For the first few minutes all Cloud could see was stars. He pounded his fist into a console, he couldn't believe Lethe betrayed them.[/i]

Cloud: What the hell happened??!! And where is Blaze???

Tifa: Uggggghhh, Maybe Siren could tell us, but first we need to get her to the med bay. So we can bandage her head up.

Aeris: Yeah, i think we need to get her to the med bay. I'll help.

[i]Tifa and Aeris picked up Siren and hauled her to the med bay. Meanwhile Cloud stood by the main window looking out, he had his right arm propped against the frame.[/i]

Cid: Penny for your thoughts kid.

Cloud: Why would Sephiroth pick Lethe? I don't understand? Why her?

Cid: Maybe because she was the only one who supposedly lost all of her emotions....

Cloud: Red XIII is gonna be pissed, we better go get him. I will never forgive myself if we kill her without him knowing why..

Cid: We can't , we gotta find Blaze then we gotta go on to Midgar, cause if we don't who knows what that deranged freak Sephiroth will do.

Cloud: You're right. Where we last when Blaze should have disappeared??

Cid: Hmmmm... Seems like we were over the Fort Condor area...

Cloud: Is it okay if we turn around and head there and land and look for him??

Cid: Yeah, we're gonna turn around.

[i]The ship turned around and headed for the Fort Condor forest area and landed. Cloud and crew stepped out, except Cid, he stayed in the Airship keeping the Highwind's engines going, also Aeris was in the Med bay with Siren. The rest of the group was out looking for Blaze.[/i][/COLOR]
