Chapter 5

Jason is standing in front of a mountain nearby Kalm, in a fighting stance. “This will be good for a little practice.” He says. He is concentrating so hard he does not realize that Cloud, Aeris and Tifa are standing nearby, watching.

“Cloud, what do you think he’s doing?” Aeris asked

“No clue, if I didn't know any better I’d say he’s going to try and destroy that mountain with his bare hands.”

“If that’s what he is planning on doing I am going to laugh when he hurts himself, I mean, god, no one can destroy a mountain with his bare hands.” Tifa said matter-of-factly.

Jason charges at the mountain. He then shouts “STRENGTH” and pulls back his fist. He then punches the mountain with every bit of force he can muster. The mountain crumbles into little pieces. Everyone stands there with eyes about the size of dinner plates with their mouths wide open.

“Well, he can.” Cloud manages to say.

“How did he do that?????” Tifa says in complete astonishment.

“It’s the power of the Ex-Caliber. When it bonds to you it gives you its powers, that sword is second only to the Crystal Dragon.” A voice says from behind. They turn around to see Michael standing, not in the least bit surprised that J took out that mountain without much effort.

“Can you do that???” All three of them ask simultaneously.

“No, my sword, The White Dragon, has nowhere near the power of the Ex-Caliber, plus he trains most of the time so there’s no telling how much strength he has that even I haven’t seen.” They see J walking towards them.

“Well, by how wide your eyes are and how low your jaws have dropped, I’d say that you saw me destroy that mountain, correct?” Everyone nodded. Aeris was the first to completely recover from the shock.

“Hey Jason, can you teach me that teleport trick now?” She asked.

“Sure, why not, follow me.” They both walk off, heading down the mountain towards the beach. Cloud, not fully trusting J yet, begins to go after them when Michael appears in front of him.

“Don’t worry, J is the most trustworthy person you’ll ever meet, whatever you are thinking might happen, erase now, he’s not like that.”

“Let’s head back to the bar, we will tell everyone the deal, we are going to leave in the morning to look for Sephiroth and your little friend.”

“Alright, see you there. TELEPORT.” He vanishes into thin air.

“He can do that too?!? What can’t these guys do?” Tifa asks more to herself than Cloud. They both head back to the bar.

A Few Hours Later

Everyone is at the bar, waiting for J and Aeris to return.

“Where could they be?” Cloud asks to himself. Suddenly, Aeris appeared over the table and crashed into it, breaking it. J materialized near the table Aeris crashed into.

“You have got it, but, you have got to work on specific places so you don’t have big crashes like that one, a little practicing and you will have it down pat in no time. I’m surprised at how fast a learner you are though.”

“I can catch on real quick.”

“I noticed. So, time to order dinner. Where’s Tifa?”

“Right here, what do you want?”

“Same as last time.”

“Same here.” Mike said.

“So, when are we leaving?” Jason asked Cloud.

“Tomorrow morning, hopefully it won’t be too difficult to find him.”

“It won’t.” Jason said as he was staring out the window. “I can feel John and Sephiroths power, but that’s not all, I feel two more incredible powers. But, there’s no sense worrying about it.”

“Well, im going to bed.” Cloud said.

“Me too.”

“Well, goodnight everyone.” J said.

“Goodnight Jason.” Everyone but Barret, Cid and Vincent said.

“I somehow don’t trust him.” Barret mumbled to himself as he climbed the stairs. The only ones left downstairs were J, Mike and Tifa.

“Foods ready.” Tifa said as she handed them their plates.

“Great, my stomach is emptier than a piggy bank on the day after Christmas.”

“You guys are amazing, if I hadn’t seen what you can do with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

“Well, that’s what you can do when you have swords like these and train as much as we do, right J?”

Jason did not reply.

“J, are you okay?”

“Im fine.” He was still staring out the window. ‘What could those two other powers be, they are so strong. I could beat it for sure but it could wipe out everyone else without breaking a sweat. I just hope that I run into it first’ He thinks to himself. They eat, then head to bed, but Jason still has that funny feeling about those two powers, even as he drifts to sleep.
