We'll be back. I swear. Cloud remembered those words he kept to himself. He swore correctly.

This time there was an addition to the group. Cid Highwind had returned to the ground for supplies and to see old faces. Cloud was surprised when he went to Rocket Town. He was going to get Barret but saw Cid there.

Cid jumped at the opportunity.
The group flew in the Highwind. They set it down outside of Junon.
"I would've never thought that damn red-eyed freak would've turned out to be this world's biggest evil." Cid said.

"Yeah. We all were surprised." Cloud said, looking at his watch. They were running the same entrance as last time, through the vents.
"We go in three, two, one, now!" Cloud said. The group ran to a wall and hid by a doorway.

Cloud looked at the watch again. "The guards change shifts in . . . three, two, one, go!" Cloud opened the door. The group ran in and up the stairs. The guard that was normally on the stairs was beside them and headed away while a new guard was on his way towards them. The group was up the stairs and out of site before the switch was complete. They found themselves pressed against a wall again.
"Barret, pull the vent access ladder down in . . . three, two, one, now!"
"Time for lunch." The guard said, and walked away as Barret pulled the ladder down. The group climbed up.
"Cloud, aren't there any security cameras here?" Barret asked.
"Lieutenant Sabin on the Highwind disabled them from his computer." Cloud replied.
"It's his specialty." Cid put in.
"Now, we all need to reach that vent turn within four seconds when I say go . . . go!" The group crawled towards the turn in the vent. A guard saw the ladder down and walked towards it. There was an opening in the vent but just as he passed it the group crawled by. The group made the turn just in time. The guard went up the ladder a little ways.

"Hello?" He asked no one and slid the ladder back up.

The group was now riding the elevator to the thirtieth floor. The doors opened. This time Vincent and Reeve didn't greet them. Instead Cloud saw them in a room with tanks holding Galian Beasts. The group busted in. Barret had his Gatling Gun Arm ready this time. Cid had his Spear out, ready to impale Reeve.

"I see we've returned Sephiroth." Vincent said.

"Cloud is my name."

"If that's what you wish Sephiroth, so be it. I'll call you Cloud." Vincent replied.

"Don't you go anywhere, Reeve!" Cid screamed at Reeve who was reaching for something. The Spear poked Reeve in the back.

"And doncha do any of your fancy gun tricks," Barret said to Vincent, "I got my baby trained on ya."

Cloud unsheathed the Buster Sword. "We want you to stop now, Vincent. This destruction of the planet is useless."

"This is Lucrecia's planet, my love's planet. I want it to be hers. All these other people, they are in our way."

"Who's this 'our'?" Tifa asked.

"Me, and Lucrecia." Vincent replied.

"What about Shinra? Why are you working with them?" Cid asked.

"I need their technical equipment. Once the world has been ridded of civilians I will destroy Shinra also." Vincent said.

"What?!" Reeve exclaimed. Reeve reached for the phone. "President, General Valentine has . . ." Vincent pointed his Quicksilver at Reeve's head. "He's been attacked by AVANLANCHE Nation. Where? Here, floor thirty. Come quick!"

"Good," Vincent said. "You mention none of this. Or die."

"Yes General. But soon soldiers will be here to stop these AVANLANCHE Nation scums."

"You assholes! Both of you, once loyal to us!" Barret yelled.

"Once a spy, always a spy." Reeve repeated.

"Gya, ha, ha!" Heidegger laughed. The group turned to see him outside the glass room. He pulled a switch that made the room split in two. The group's side was sliding away. Barret started to blast at Heidegger, only to hit his guards. The small strip of metal separated from the main building. Before the group knew it, they were outside and over shark infested waters.

"Hey, we're turning!" Tifa exclaimed. But it was a turn for the worst. They were in front of the Junon cannon.

"Run to the edges!" Cloud yelled!
