Hiro woke up that morning early,to find Jean,Leo and Ronfar standing above him.
"What's going on?"Hiro tried to get up.
"Your not yourself."Ronfar said."Were looking for Sephiroth and your coming with us."
Hiro got up."I already said no."
Jean was about to speak when Cloud broke in.
"He's got her!Let's go!"Cloud yelled and headed for the door.
"Calm down who's got who?"Hiro said grabbing his arm.
"Sephiroth....took Aeris."Cloud said with sheer terror in his voice.
Hiro looked at him funny."Aeris?He took Aeris?"Then grabbed his head."Uhhhhh........"
Cloud looked at him."You ok?"
Hiro crumpled to the floor holding his head,the gang stood around him and wondered what was going on.
Hiro's mind flashed back to the day he saw him.
"You....your."
"Sephiroth?"The figure said coming out of the alley."Yes and your Hiro."
Hiro looked at him."How did you know my name?"
Sephiroth laughed and punched Hiro."Don't worry you will be a perfect subject."
"Yes he will."
Hiro saw a strange man walk out of the alley just before he passed out.
"Hiro.Hiro?"Jean said rubbing his arm.
Hiro got up with a jolt."I'm fine."He said with a strange look on his face,his eyes had a faint glow,which evryone ignored.
Cloud looked at him."Sephiroth has Aeris.I need your help."
Hiro looked at him with a confused look on his face."Aeris?"Then shaking his head."Of course.I'll help you Cloud."
The gang headed to the bar.The others were there for breakfast.
"Good Morning."Tifa said cheerfully.
"No time."Cloud said."Sephiroth took Aeris,and were going to get her."
That's when the group eating got up and scrambled to Cloud.
"Who's going?"Barret said.
Cloud looked at him."I don't know."
Hiro walked up."I am."Tifa looked at him funny."I already told Cloud I would.There's no telling what he'll do to Aeris."
"The group should be small."Vincent said."It would take too long with all of us."
"We'll never find her that way."Cloud said.
Hiro's face brightened."We can use two groups."
Cloud looked at him funny,then."Yeah,we'll get more ground covered that way."
Hiro sat down."There's one problem.Our magic dosen't work here."
"Materia."Yuffie said holding up a small round stone."This has magic in it."
Hiro looked at her.
"I'll go with them,and teach them about materia."Tifa said.
Hiro smiled."So we have me,Tifa,Jean,Leo,Lemina,Ronfar and Ruby."
Cloud said."I have my bunch.Yuffie get seven 'Wizard braclets.' For our friends."
Yuffie ran out and came back with the braclets."Here."
"Now Materia."Cloud said."Who are the magic users?"
"Lemina and I can use magic."Hiro said."Ronfar is a priest."
"Ok.You and Lemina use magic all the time?"Barret said
"Sort of."Hiro said."I use my wind magic with my boomerang."
"Oh."Yuffie said."The healers and magic users get the spell materia then."
"Lemina you get Fire,contian,destruct and three all."Yuffie said getting them and putting them in Lemina's braclet."There only on loan."
"Ronfar needs Healing magic."Cait said."Let's see 3 all,revive,shield,and fullcure."Then he brought them over to Ronfar,putting them in.
Vincent walked over."Leo is a warrior.Deathblow,doublecut,slash all.That's all."He said getting the materia and putting them in Leo's bracelet.
Ruby looked at them."Hold on.I can't wear a braclet."
Red XIII looked at her."They will be too big for you.Here."He said Flicking his head and a feather came out.
"Thank you."Ruby said,then Jean got a small stretchable headband and put it on Ruby's head and stuck the feather in it.
Jean looked."I don't want any thank you."
Barret looked and nodded."Then take this."He handed her a ribbon.
"Thanks Barret."She said tying it around her hair.
Hiro looked at the pile of materia."What's this?"He said picking up a small green stone.
"Put them down!"Cid yelled."We'll pick them for you,green horn."
Tifa walked over to Cid."Leave him alone Cid.Unless you want to mess with me."She waved her fist at Cid who backed off.Then sweetly."It's barrier,Hiro"
Hiro played with the small stone,Then seeing what the others did placed it in the slot of his braclet.Then looking agian at the pile."There all green how can you tell what is what?"Hiro said picking up another green one.
Tifa smiled."That's time.We just know what they are."
Hiro shrugged and put it another slot of his braclet.Then picking up a purple stone."This?"
"H.p.plus."
"Ok."He said placing it within the third slot.Hiro picked up two blue ones that they had idenified as all,and placed them with the barrier and time materia.and left the last spot open.Then picked up a purple stone.
"Ok.Hiro.I'll find you some..."Tifa started."I see you found some of your own."
Hiro smiled and presented her with a purple materia.
Tifa smiled."Thank you Hiro."She said putting it in."A h.p. plus.I don't need any more."
Then Cloud's group got their materia."We'll start with the ruins of the temple of the acients."Then to Hiro."You should try the Forgoten city."
Hiro nodded and they headed for the door.A hour later Hiro watched as the Highwind took off."How are we getting there?"
Tifa looked at him."Tiny bronco?"
"It will take forever to get there."Jean said grumbling.
"No it won't."Ruby said."Come to a big clearing."
They walked to a huge clearing and ruby flew to the center.
"Ok.Here I go."Ruby said and transformed into a dragon."Climb on my back."
Hiro smiled going to Ruby."Thanks Ruby.Now we can find Aeris faster.I hope Sephiroth hasn't hurt her."Hiro said climbing on Ruby's back.
Everyone agreed and got on Ruby's back.
"Hold on."Ruby said flaping her wings.
She lifted off and started towards Bone Village.
