Chapter 7
Cloud woke up in the strange bedroom. "What happened?" he said to himself because he had no clue what happen the night before. All he remembered was seeing Lunar for the first time and again at Junon. Cloud’s senses were still messed up from the strange scent that had filled the room earlier that is when someone entered the room. Cloud’s eyes were too blurry to see anything.
"So this is Lunar’s new toy eh?" said a person. Cloud struggled to see who it was. He’s eyes focused a bit and he saw a tall man about 6’7 with dark brown hair wearing the same uniform that Lunar wore on the first day they met.
"Who are you!?" shouted Cloud.
The man smiled. "Well I’m Taurus the Second sign of the Zodiac." Taurus said with a smug smile on his face. Taurus began to approach Cloud then stopped at the foot of the bed. "You are adorable aren’t you?" he said stroking Cloud’s cheek but Cloud batted the hand away.
"If you ever try to touch me again I’ll kill you!" Cloud shouted once more.
Taurus looked at him. "You are brave as you are beautiful my dear." Then just like that Taurus quickly disappears.
"I’ve got a bad felling about this place. I’ve got too escape." And with that Cloud began to make a plan on how to escape and get his friends. Cloud decided that he would have to observe the place before he could make his move.
Meanwhile at Junon, Reeve and the others were preparing themselves to go the Northern Crater, to see what’s going on around there and to check out the reports of seeing strange people of Zodiac. Cid was feeling better but in no condition to fight. Reno of the Turks decided that he would go with them since Cid is out of action.
"Yo, Reeve!" shouted Barret from the shore of Junon harbor. "Do you have every thing ready to go?"
Reeve looked up at him. "Yeah I do hurry up and get aboard the Highwind Vincent is waiting for us. Vincent was on the Highwind feeling very depressed of what has happened to his love and to fact he didn’t have any idea of what him and his self was getting into. At least with Sephiroth he knew what was going on and what his powers were. In fact Vincent still felt guilty for what had happened to Sephiroth and now his guilt has passed over to what happened to Cloud now. Yuffie and Tifa having a little argument interrupted Vincent thoughts.
"Vincent you okay?" asked Yuffie.
"I’m fine. I’m just a little worried about this mission."
"Oh Vince don’t worry Cid is going to be find and we well find Cloud." Said Tifa as she put her hand his shoulder. He was comforted from this act of friendship and finally let his worries go for now.
"So people were are we going?" asked Red coming in with Barret and Reeve.
"We’re going to the northern crater since that’s were all problems are. I subject that Zodiac’s lair is some were there." Said Vincent.
"Okay then shall we get going then?" asked Reno who was standing at the side away for the group. "Alright then let’s go."
Meanwhile the Zodiacs are having another meeting. "It seems from what I’ve had heard that the Avalanche members are heading here to the Northern crater." Says Leo."Yes this my be the final battle between zodiac and avalanche." Said Virgo.
"Yes this shall be good." Cancer snickered a bit.
"The poor silly bastards don’t know what they are getting into. So are we going to get them when they come are going to greet them?" Leo smiled. "Of course we well but as soon Sago relieves the Amazon Qualet we be able to defeat them without even breaking a sweat!" On The other hand Sagittarius is at the Crater as Zodiac spoke preparing for the on coming of the Amazon.
"Those fools…" thought Sagittarius. "They have no idea for when I resurrect the Amazon Qualet they’re worthless asses won’t be no longer needed and I’ll rule this world with my sisters once more." Sagittarius began to laugh. "And Avalanche well be no more!" As Sagittarius doesn’t know a mysterious man watches her from a distant watching her every movement. This silver haired man is fully prepared for battle.
"So she is from Zodiac." Says Sephiroth. "Soon Avalanche will come and they are going to definitely need my help with this one."Sephiroth continues to watch her. He is not going to attack until Avalanche comes.
Chapter 8 "We are right over the Northern Crater." Says a pilot.
"Good lower us there." Says Reeve.
"Okay." Relined the pilot. "Brace yourselves for landing."
Reeve walked toward the group. "Okay guys get ready this is it." He said softly. Everyone was ready. Armed with weapons and had all their materias on and ready.
"We are ready." Said Vincent stepping out of the shadows.
"Okay then let’s go deep fry some ass!" yelled Barret. As soon as they landed all of them ran out ready to fight. They were surprised not to see anyone out side.
"FUCK!!! Were are they? You would think they would be here waiting for us." Said Yuffie.
"Don’t worry gal they will be here…," said Tifa. "I just know it." Tifa was carrying Cloud’s Ultima Sword.
"Yo Tiff you know how to handle that thing?" asked Barret looking at her puzzled.
"No I do not but IF we find Cloud I’m sure he would want a piece of the action." Everyone agreed at that. "Leo…what is wrong?" said Taurus and Virgo.
Leo sighed. "It is time to greet them Zodiacs. This is our final battle." Everyone looked at Leo their leader puzzled.
"Our Final Battle?" asked Gemini Cern.
"Yes it is."
Meanwhile Cloud was running down the halls of the Zodiac lair trying to find the exist. "It is so cold here…I must be close to exit outta here…" he said. Cloud ran until he saw a bright light. "Freedom!!" he thought! He ran to the light to find himself in a huge snow field with mountains surrounding the place. "FOR THE LOVE OF HOLY I’M IN THE NORTHREN CRATER!!!" Cloud shouted. Cloud felt a chilling cold breeze. "Damn I’m going to freeze my ass off…." Then Cloud felt arms encircle him taking the cold off him.
"What are you doing here?" asked a deep voice that sounded so familiar.
"Oh no it is you!" said Cloud.
Lunar picked up Cloud in his arms. "You want to leave don’t you?" sadly asked Lunar as he looked in Cloud blue eyes.
"I have to… you had no right to kidnap me and bring me here!" shouted Cloud at Lunar.
"But I love you, my dear…that is why I brought you here to stay with me."
Cloud laughed at that comment hurting Lunar deeply. "How can you love me while you attack my friends and me and drug me to have sex with you, monster!?!"
Lunar couldn’t fight back the tears no longer. His emerald eyes were filled with moisture. Cloud felt guilty for hurting this beautiful man feeling and he hugged Lunar and kissed away those tears. Cloud wondered why he was doing this…was it because he loved Lunar too. "I’m sorry for what I said…Lunar. I just want to go home." Cloud lovely. Then there was a big blast that came from the right of them. The fight between Avalanche and Zodiac has just begun.
