Both Ramza and Cloud fell, but all of a sudden their fall was broken by a wooden structure. They fell in something
        suprisingly soft.
 

        Girl : Oh my !   What happened to you two ?

        Ramza : ( unconscious )

        Cloud : ( unconscious )

        Girl : Hello !  Hello !  Are you ok ?!

        No response until 5 minutes later....

        Ramza : uhhnnnn......

        Cloud : Damn, what a fall !  I'm suprised we're still alive....   EH ??!!  Who are you ????

        Girl : Thank Goodness you're safe !    So we meet again.....  Do you renember me ?

        Ramza : Never seen her before, how about you Cloud  ?

        Cloud : Yep, I renember you, you're that flower girl I bought a flower from....

        Girl : Oh ! You renember, I'm so happy you bought some of my flowers.

        Ramza : Um.... is this flower bed yours ?

        Cloud : Whoops !  Sorry....

        Girl : It's alright, don't worry.   Oh my !  We haven't been introduced, I'm Aeris.

        Ramza : I'm Ramza, please to make your acquaintance, dear lady.

        Cloud : Name's Cloud, nice to meet ya....

        Aeris : Ramza and Cloud, how nice.  Say, do you people have any materia ?

        Ramza : Not me, sorry.

        Cloud : I've got some right here. ( Shows Aeris his materia )

        Aeris : Well, I have some too, but it dosen't have any magics at all...

        Cloud : You probably don't know how it works....

        Aeris : No, no, it just dosen't do anything, it like an amulet or something....

        Ramza : I see, so it protects you in a sense, so to speak.

        Aeris : Right !  Well, what do you people do ?

        Ramza : I fight for my land and it's people, we recently learned that the legendary Lucavi does exist...

        Cloud : I do just about anything...

        Aeris : Ramza, what is Lucavi ?

        Ramza : Let's say another term for Devil or Demon....

        Aeris : I see.  Well, would you two be my bodyguards for now ?

        Ramza : I will, if you help us find our friends.

        Cloud : Gonna cost ya something.....

        Aeris : Thank you both ! Cloud, how about if I repay you with a date sometime ?

        Cloud : A date ?!  All right.

        Everyone is silent as Reno of the Turks shows up followed by another man...

        Reno : Well, well, so we find you again...

        Man : Of all the people I'd expect to see, you were the last one, kid !

        Ramza : That voice.... where did I hear this ???? It's so familiar, no, it's impossible....

        The man steps out of the shadows to reveal himself.

        Ramza : Gafgarion ????!!!!  But, but, I... killed you at Lionel Castle ..... How ????

        Gafgarion : Let's say High Priest Funeral heard of the protection I gave to Cardinal Draclau,
        so he revived me.  I've also joined the Shrine Knights.  But, how did you get here like us ?!

        Ramza : So.... you too is now at the claws of Lucavi....

        Gafgarion :  What the Hell ??!!!!   What are you mad, boy ? !  There's no such thing as Lucavi !

        Reno : Enough, Gaff !  Get the Ancient before she escapes !

        Aeris : Please, don't fight here, you'll ruin the flowers.  This way. ( Exit Aeris, Ramza and Cloud )

        Gafgarion : You're not getting away from me !!  ( He runs after them, folowed by Reno )

        Ramza  and Cloud are already at the top of the church ruins, while Aeris is still struggling to reach them.

        Aeris : Wait, wait up !!

        As she tries to jump one ledge to another, Gafgarion takes a stone and throws it at her, making her
        lose her balance and fall.

        Gafgarion : Got ya !!!  Heh heh, did you really think you'd get away from me ?

        Aeris : Ramza, Cloud, help me !!!

        Cloud : Hold on, I've got an idea. Ramza, give me a hand here.

        Ramza : Ok, what do I do ?

        Cloud : Help me push that barrel over there !

        Ramza : Got it !  Here goes !

        Ramza & Cloud : UGGHHHHH !!!!!!!

        The barrel is pushed and rolling down, crashing on Gafgarion.

        Gafgarion : OOF !!!!  Damn !

        Ramza : Alright Aeris, Cloud, let's get out of here !

        They all manage to run away, and heading to Aeris' home.
 

        Meanwhile, back at Avalanche Headquarters.....

        The others safely returned, but Agrias and Tifa were in tears as they entered the bar...

        Wedge : Woah ! What's with the waterworks ?  Where are Cloud and Ramza ???

        Barret : We were fightin' some damn robot when it blew up, just where they were standin' !

        Rad : They fell obviously, we don't know if they survived or not....

        Agrias :  Ramza.... *sob*

        Tifa : Cloud, oh how could this happen ?  *sob*

        Opal : I pray that they're safe and sound, whereever they fell...

        Diaz : You really think they're ok after that fall ???

        Rex :  It's possible, have faith.

        Jessie : Well, we got some disturbing news...

        Barret : What ??!!!!  C'mon, spill it !!

        Biggs : Seems someone knows about Shinra's activities, such as the collapse of the pillar near the bar...

        Barret & Tifa : WHAT ???!!!!!!

        Wedge : Yep, we caught the guy, why don't you ask him yourself....

        Barret : Where is he ??!!!

        Jessie : I'll get him, hold on...

        The man, tied with ropes, is sat on a chair where the interrogation takes place...

        Barret : Awright, now tell us, what did u hear about shinra...

        Man : I dunno, it's something I overheard from some Corneo guy...

        Tifa : Don Corneo, the big shot at Wall Market ????

        Man : Yeah, that guy, maybe he could tell you more...

        Marilyn : Who is that ???

        Tifa : Not exactly Mr. Nice Guy, I hear he sleeps with lots of women...

        Opal : Ugh !  How disgusting !  Blech !

        Marilyn : Hmm..... maybe if we simply try to gain control while having an audience with him...

        Tifa : Are you crazy ?  You could get hurt !

        Agrias : All of this seems disturbing, but it won't help us find Ramza or Cloud.... if they're alive.

        Marilyn was fuming, she could not bare to see Agrias act like a poor defenceless person at all.

        Marilyn : Why you..... coward !  If you don't want to help, then'll I'll do your part ! Hand me your sword.

        Agrias : What ? Why ?

        Marilyn : Dammit !  Hand me that f@¢*ing sword !!!! NOW !!!!

        Everyone, especially Opal, were suprised at her burst of anger and use of swearing.

        Agrias : All right, take it ! Make sure you bring it back in one piece.

        Marilyn : Hey, where's Mustadio..... ???

        Mustadio : Sorry everyone, I was just shopping for essentials.

        Mustadio unloads the bags, which were filled with potions and other curative items.

        Marilyn : Tell us next time, we were worried about you...

        Mustadio : Sorry...

        Tifa : Well then, who'll go to find out about the Shinra ?

        Marilyn : Leave this to me !  I'll do it !

        Rad : But alone ?

        Rex : Don't worry, I'll accompany her.

        Marilyn : Rex, thank you.

        Barret : Awright, you two go to Corneo's Mansion, it's in Wall Warket, in the Sector 6 Slums.

        Jessie : I'll show you the way be careful.

        Marilyn & Rex : We will.  Thanks.

        Everyone but Marilyn & Rex : Good Luck you too !!!

        ( Exit Marilyn, Rex and Jessie )

 
        At the Shinra Headquarters

        Pres. Shinra : Now, would you kindly explain yourselves how you lost track of the Ancient ??!!!

        Gafgarion : It wasn't my fault I was hit by a barrel, ohhhhh, it still hurts.

        Reno : They were too far away, so we could catch them.

        Wiegraf comes in, with Professor Hojo.

        Wiegraf :  You loser !  I'll show you how's it's done next time !

        Hojo : I still can't beleive you lost her !  Incompetents you are !!

        Pres. Shinra : Anyway, you're dismissed for now, be sure not to forget the meeting tomorow at 3:15 PM.

        Everyone but the Pres. : We won't.... sheesh !!!

        Wiegraf goes into his chamber, a voice is heard...

        Voice : So this is where you turned up, Vormav won't be too happy you know...

        Wiegraf : Who's this ? Show yourself !

        Voice : As you please....

        An Archaic Demon appears, looking angrily at Wiegraf.

        Demon : Let me introduce myself, I am Sinogue, one, no, the smartest Archaic Demon you'll meet.

        Wiegraf : So, what do you want with me ?

        Sinogue : Well, it seems Sir Vormav assingned me to find you and guide you to your destiny.

        Wiegraf : Which is ???

        Sinogue : Oh come now, you know of Altima, the Bloody Angel, right ?

        Wiegraf  : Yeah, so....

        Sinogue : Well, the more blood is spilled, the faster our Master can be revived... so your task is simple :
        take out as many people as you can....

        Wiegraf : Don't worry about that part, I have a feeling the President dosen't have long to live....

        Sinogue : Excellent !  Carry on then !

        Wiegraf : I'll do that !

        Sinogue : So be it, I'll return later. Good Bye for now.

        Sinogue warps away magically.

        Wiegraf now holds the Aries Zodiac Stone, thinking on how he'll kill the president.

        All of a sudden, an unknown man enters his room...

        Unkown man : Are you interested in an alliance ?
