"I...hope so. I can't go back. Look I don't except you to understand. But...Years ago...That company was once who I worked for. And then...They captured me and Zack...Performed experiments on both of us...This was when I defeated Sephiroth for the first time. When I was not even a 1St Class..Well...I was never a 1St. Class but...that's besides the point...I don't know why they would still be looking for me after all this time...I've seen them...And....I thought they just thought I was dead...But...I just...I can't let it go....Apparently they can't either...I don't even know if Hojo is back....He's the guy that experimented on me and Zack years ago....He infused us in Souped up Mako Energy....With J Cells...The JENOVA Project....I doubt that Hojo stopped trying to achieve his goal...And that's when Sephiroth found out what he really was....If not for a friend of his Genesis, then none of this would've happened...." Apparently Cloud had a lot to get off his chest...

Man, Cloud really had it rough didn't he? Sora's problems seemed like nothing compared to Cloud's. Well Sora would help all he could if needed, of course he helped everyone without hesitation. "Wow Cloud, that's...i dont even know how to describe." Sora said taking i a breath "and i thought i had it somewhat rough." He said with a shrug. Then his mind flashed to sephiroth. Cloud's...darkness? Was that it? He didn't remember what sephiroth had said when Sora had encountered him that one time. Of course the big memory of that meeting was Sora kicking Sephiroth's butt. But he then quickly went back to Cloud's problem. "Listen, you're right, i don't really understand, but I'll tell you this, if you ever need help, im always here and im always willing to fight for my friends." Sora said seriously, no goofy smile but a straight face.

"Thanks Sora...I'd appreciate the help..." Yup Cloud had a lot on his chest to get out. The last time he did this was with Tifa. It just helped him feel better. "Sorry I just blasted out like that...But the one person that taught me to open up is indeed the one I'm destined to marry. Tifa....How am I going to explain this to her? That this happened...Well, one things certain.....I've not lost my Light in this fight...She'd be happy to hear that. If I ever get back to her in one piece. I say we camp out here til night fall then I can try and make to the ship....You up for that?" It was clear that Cloud wanted to get back to Tifa now. He felt like he endangered Sora's life enough as it was. Those troops would not give up on finding Cloud. And now it was a matter or life and death...It was up to Cloud to protect Sora from them....Sora was a good fighter...But Cloud doubted that the boy had skill with gun fire...."I'm sorry for this...."

Sora nodded, his smile returning to his face. When wasn't Sora happy? Did he EVER have a problem that brought him down? According to some people (xion and roxas) he was obnoxiously happy all the time. It was like he didn't have a care in the world!
"Yeah sure we can camp in here, it's pretty well hidden so we should be good...and..its okay. like i said before, no worries." Sora said with a shrug as he sat down against a wall. "So. you and tifa huh?" He said with a smile. "You must be pretty happy now and days, i can tell."

"Yeah sure we can camp in here, it's pretty well hidden so we should be good...and..its okay. like i said before, no worries." Cloud smiled then...He was glad this had not affected Sora's spirit...."So. you and tifa huh?" Cloud blushed when he mentioned Tifa...And smiled.... "Yeah me and Tifa...Strange huh? It's kinda funny too...She was there all the time...Just took me a while to realize it..." "You must be pretty happy now and days, i can tell."
"I am?...Yeah I guess you're right. Thanks to seeing Zack again is a bigger part about it...But Tifa's in love with me...I never thought I could feel that way towards some one...I'm sure this is all pretty boring to you....But...trust me....Once you find that one girl...You will never stop thinking about her...." Cloud of course had no idea that Sora was probably thinking like that with Kairi...Cloud had a lot ot catch up to...."So...What about you? Is there a special girl in your life now?"

Sora nodded and shook his head as Cloud spoke "I never thought I could feel that way towards some one...I'm sure this is all pretty boring to you....But...trust me....Once you find that one girl...You will never stop thinking about her...." Sora's mind instantly went to Kairi. Oh much he missed her. He'd been crushing on her for a LONG time and just never had to guts to say anything abou it. Of course now and days were different, had told himself many times that next time he saw kairi, he would express himself. That is if he didn't chicken out first.
"Nah its not boring. It's good to get filled in on things." Sora smiled as he stared off into space, still listening though. "So...What about you? Is there a special girl in your life now?" Well there definately was and Cloud had asked at the right moment because just as he did Sora sighed with a smile. "Kairi." He then realized what Cloud asked and What sora Blurted and went back to paying attention. "Yeah, kinda, sorta...." He had given himself away, but that was okay. Cloud was cool so it didn't bother him. Its not like Riku was around, or even donald and goofy to poke fun at him.

"Nah its not boring. It's good to get filled in on things."
"Kairi." Cloud looked up...So there was some one..."Yeah, kinda, sorta...."
"Kairi...? So there is some one...Hey...If you're sure about it...Then things will come naturally. The way I found out about Tifa...Was well, I pushed her into a kiss...Then we argued...But after that...Everything was a bliss...It's been wonderful with her...And I wanna spend the rest of my life with her...As her husband..."
Cloud smiled at that thought...He leaned his arms on his knees and placed his chin on his arms...As he just sat there thinking about Tifa..He hoped she was okay...Damn this cave was blocking all his calls. He wanted to talk to her so badly. To let her know what has happened...If he knew Tifa like he thought he did, she was worrying her head off about him now....

Sora grinned. He never had an older sibling to give him advice or anything. The closest thing he had was Riku, who was like a brother to him, but wasn't older by enough to give sora a good source of information. So Sora thought this was cool. His friends were like his family and he loved the fact that through thick or thin...they'd be there. Just like family.
"Kairi...? So there is some one...Hey...If you're sure about it...Then things will come naturally. The way I found out about Tifa...Was well, I pushed her into a kiss...Then we argued...But after that...Everything was a bliss...It's been wonderful with her...And I wanna spend the rest of my life with her...As her husband..."
"Wow Cloud!" Sora said with an even wider grin. "Thats really something! Congrats!" He said resting his arms behind his neck and leaning against the cave wall. "Im happy for you. I hope i get to see Tifa sometime after you ask her, Which you should do very soon, that way i can congratulate her too"

"Wow Cloud!" "Thats really something! Congrats!" "Im happy for you. I hope i get to see Tifa sometime after you ask her, Which you should do very soon, that way i can congratulate her too" Cloud laughed out loud then....Which was a bit out of the norm for a guy who never hardly ever showed any emotion...Especially laughter....
"I've actually already asked her hand in marriage....And she said yes. I was shocked....It was not the right time to do it....But she found the ring...And I had to....I didn't want to wonder why I had it...But don't tell her that...Okay..." Cloud was just glad that he had asked her....He remembered that he was scared to death that she would say no....But amazingly she didn't. She was ready to spend the rest of her life with him....Cloud smiled at that thought....They both have been through so much....From child hood to adult hood....Why shouldn't they be happy and be together?

"Oh." Sora said with a slight shrug. "well then I'll just congratulate her next time i see her." He said with a smile. Happyness was key for Sora. If his friends were happy, he was happy, and right now he was definately happy. "Haha i won't say a word." Sora said turning towards the entrance to the cave. "I miss Kairi...and Riku" Sora said looking outside. "They're my best friends and ever since this whole entire thing started....i barely see them anymore." Sora sighed heavilly, well that happiness lasted for a couple minutes then deminished. "You don't think...with friends being so far apart...that bonds can break....can they?" He asked turning back to cloud.

"well then I'll just congratulate her next time i see her." "Haha i won't say a word." "I miss Kairi...and Riku" Cloud looked up as he said that...He missed Zack...."They're my best friends and ever since this whole entire thing started....i barely see them anymore." Same with Zack....."You don't think...with friends being so far apart...that bonds can break....can they?" "No...I don't think they can...." Cloud looked down then thinking about Zack...He hoped his friend was not in any trouble...."Zack..." He didn't realize he said that out loud...Zack was Cloud's best friend from Shin-Ra....They've both been through hell and back...And they were both still alive....Well, poor Zack, died trying to protect Cloud from the very company Zack worked for....All because Cloud had within him the S Cells...((Sephiroth))....and J Cells....((Jenova)).....Cloud sighed as he thought again about that fateful afternoon outside of Midgar....Why did this all have to happen to him and Zack? What worried Cloud was that Zack was not being careful....And seeing old friends from Shin-Ra...He was scared that if Zack got in a bad situation that, Cloud could not help him...Zack was the strongest from the both of them though.

"No...I don't think they can...." Sora nodded, Cloud was probably right. He just stood there with a sigh and folded his arms as he thought of his friends, not just Kairi and Riku, all of them. Donald, Goofy, everyone! From all worlds whether it be twilight town to halloween town, he missed them all. Maybe after this he would go visit some people. "Zack..." Sora then looked over at cloud, apparently he was missing a friend too.
Sora sighed again and decided right then and there, he'd go visit his old friends again. He'd go see what Jack and Sally were up to in halloween town first, then maybe head over to Agrabah and see Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie, He'd go see them all to keep in touch.
This was one of those rare occasions where sora said. NOTHING.

All the while it was quiet....Cloud went back into his own past...From when he killed Sephiroth the first time....To when Hojo got a hold of him and Zack...to when Zack woke up in the transparent cubicle that was filled with Mako Energy.....And Cloud being in the same type right beside him....To when Zack broke Cloud out of the mansion....To when they were hunted down...To the time they rode in the back of that beat up old truck heading back to Midgar....And Zack talking about being in business together...What else was there to do while they waited....? The night was long....
Pretty soon day light broke out....Cloud was already out of the cave...He would just let Sora sleep. And remembered seeing a lake not far from the cave...As he walked and stretched....his legs....He even tried to get in touch with Tifa again....No signal....Damn it...Cloud knew by now she was starting to worry about him...But he couldn't leave now....Not with Shin-Ra on his tail.....But he did carry his sword just in case...Cause you never knew what could happen....
As Cloud was down by the lake...He did not know he was being watched...By Shin-Ra troops....Cloud splashed water on his face...as he was bent down at the waters edge....That was when it happened.....A troops came up from behind him and pushed him into the lake! Having a heavy sword on your back was not good! Cloud was struggling all the while he was under water....Trying to unstrap his sword off his back....The troops above started to shoot into the lake!
The troops stopped firing their rifles....And waited. Silence for a few seconds had they got him? Not a chance! Cloud broke the surface of the lake finally and was flying in the air! The troops continued to fire upwards at him as he blocked the bullets with his sword....And finally landing on his feet....At the edge of the lake....And the that was when Cloud got pissed....."You guys...Should know...I'm not a morning person!"
Cloud gave them an evil eye.....And performed the Finishing Touch on them! He created a large whirlwind that sucked the troops into oblivion, which causes them to either immediately perish or suffer extensive damage from falling back to the ground. Cloud at once flew back on his feet.....But didn't count them all dead just yet....As he tried to regain his strength from the massive attack.....He was down in a heart beat! A few troops managed to dodge the attack! And they fired their weapons at Cloud....At that moment....Cloud yelled out in pain as he saw his blood roll down his sword....How many times was he hit, he didn't know....But he was down that was certain....."S....ora...." He called out...But he knew Sora wouldn't hear him.....

Sora was dreaming, he didn't remember falling asleep but instantly dreams flooded his head. He remembered that day he had fallen asleep on the beach, and kairi had woken him up, he asked her about her home world but she didnt remember. Then there was building the raft, and collecting items for their journey. Then the night of that terrible storm and when Sora was sucked out of his world into Traverse Town where he met Leon-aka Squall, Yuffie, Cid, and Aeirth. Thats also where he met Donald and Goofy.
His dream went through his entire adventure with Donald and Goofy and his olther friends, and meeting new people such as Ariel and Hercules. Then the memories of his next Journey where he met new people like the servents from beast's castle and Jack Sparrow. But then...as he, Sora, in his dream was approaching Kairi and Riku in the world that never was...his dream was broken off by the sound of gunfire.
Sora's blue eyes opened and he sat up instantly as he heard the repetitive fire. He didn't hesitate to get up and run out, keyblade in hand and magic ready to summon. He saw Cloud getting shot at and ran as fast as his legs would take him down to help.
"S....ora...."
Sora jumped in the air, angry and yelled out. "THUNDER!" and many lightning bolts came down and struck the troops into a shocking state, But Sora wasn't done yet. "Blizzard! Fire!" Sora yelled out every magic call he had while swinging his keyblade away. Then there was one more thing he needed to do before he was done taking care of these soldier pests, at least what cloud hadn't already taken care of. Sora then aimed his keyblade at them. "STOP!" He yelled and they all stood still in a frozen state. He would portal them out of there somehow. He didn't want to think of all the spells Yin Sed or Merlin had taught him, right now Cloud was hurt.
Sora ran down and kneeled next to Cloud worried as he dropped his keyblade at his side. "Cloud?!" Sora said as he saw the blood on Cloud's sword. His stomach turned there but ignored that. "Cloud can you hear me? Please say you're okay." Sora said almost pleading. "Cloud...?"

Cloud was having trouble holding on to his sword's handle....He gasped slightly...How many times he was shot, Cloud did not know... Cloud heard some one yelling....At this point he had no idea it was Sora..."Cloud?!" "Cloud can you hear me? Please say you're okay." "Cloud...?" Cloud looked up then....The pain was in his eyes.. "Sora....?" He tried to remain calm though...So not to freak Sora out. "It's...not...bad..." Cloud then looked down and saw the blood on his sword...Funny it was his blood on the sword not the men he was fighting earlier...That was when Cloud tried to get up on his own...But fell on side...His sword clanked to the ground beside him...."Guess it is....bad..."
Why was this happening....? What was the purpose? The only thing that Cloud could think of was the S Cells....He was apart of Sephiroth rather he disbelieved it or not...Apparently the Shin-Ra knows of Sephiroth's return....And wanted to whipe out all his living cells....That means Cloud as well....Because as long Sephiroth's cells remained alive....So did Sephiroth....
