Vincent sat in his room at the inn. He pondered the events that would eventually become a reality. He thought about the return of Sephiroth and the group's partnership with him. Most of all, he thought about Leira. There was so much about her that intrigued him. For the life of him, he could not figure out what it was about her that drew him closer. The dead man was sure that her affiliation with his old employers had nothing to do with it. Until he was sure what his feelings were for her, he decided that he would be by her side. "Best get some rest." Vincent said to himself as he laid his crimson uniform on top of his belongings. He fully intended to travel with Leira and Sephiroth.
Morning came. The sunlit beaches of Costa del Sol offered little comfort to those that were not on vacation.
Reeve had been hoping that the day had never come. He watched as his niece put finishing touches on her packing. She had cleaned her AK-47 and propped it up against her stacks of luggage. "Something wrong, Reeve?" she asked as she sat on the floor cross-legged to sort her ammunition rounds.
"You're really going to do this?"
Leira picked up a hollow point bullet and eyed its silver top curiously. "Can you hand me my side arm?" she asked unconcerned.
Reeve wandered over to her dresser and handed Leira her Turk issue Glock 21.
Leira put the bullet to her mouth and bit into it with her back molars. "I don't have a choice. I want to know as much as I can about what's going on. Sephiroth swore that learning about our…" she wrinkled her nose at the bullet and pulled the magazine out of the .45 caliber handgun. "…Er, my past would help stop whoever. Besides, when it's all said and done, I can decide what I want to do with our white haired friend."
Reeve did not find any solace in her answer. "I just want you to be safe. Maybe you guys will find another way. I'm glad that Vincent is going along. I just don't want anything bad to happen to you. You're all the family I've got right now."
Leira slid the Glock into a holster underneath her left arm and gave Reeve a hug. "We'll kick some ass." She smiled.
Sephiroth entered the resort town with three gold chocobos. These rare birds could travel over any sort of terrain, be it swamp, mountain, river or ocean. He did not want to involve Cloud and the others on this particular trip. This was time that he wanted to spend gathering intelligence and helping Leira develop her true potential before the impending battle. He had told his handlers about his mission but he did not tell them about where he would be visiting.
The sun beat down on his black uniform as he stopped the birds just outside of Reeve's villa.
Cloud had been waiting with Vincent and the others on the steps of the inn. Both men approached Sephiroth. "I anticipated your joining us, Mr. Valentine, so I rounded up another chocobo."
Vincent did not respond as he began to load his weapons onto the back of the large yellow bird.
"She's still at the villa getting things together." Cloud said.
A couple minutes later Leira stepped out of her uncle's house. She frowned when her eyes fell on the chocobos. "You know, I've got a nice car…"
Sephiroth flinched. "Chocobos can travel in any type of environment at high speeds. On top of that, I remember how you drive."
The Elite rolled her eyes and began to put her belongings onto her chocobo. "That's not funny,” she mumbled.
After a quick exchange of goodbyes, Leira, Vincent and Sephiroth climbed onto their chocobos and started for the ruined city known as Midgar.
Yuffie was tucked underneath Cloud's arm as they watched the three yellow chocobos leave. A tear came down her eye as her nightmares began to come true.
"You look just like your mother." Sephiroth said to Leira as he caught up to her. "She was a very beautiful woman."
Leira looked straight ahead. This was not the time for her to be bogged down by the past.
"That's interesting you should say that." Vincent interjected. "You yourself look so much like your own mother...your human mother that is."
Sephiroth drew the chocobo to a halt as he began to process his words. He closed his eyes in wonderment and urged the gold colored bird forward until he was even with Vincent.
"Back in the Northern Crater...it was your thoughts I came across."
Vincent Valentine remembered that fateful day when he was finally able to meet Sephiroth the adult. He closed his eyes and gave a slight nod. "She was beautiful. Long brown hair down past her shoulders. The loveliest eyes, she had." He sighed at all of his memories as they began to wash over him. "Lucrecia." He whispered.
Sephiroth looked upon Vincent as a curiosity. He cocked his head to the side. "You've met her?"
Vincent wondered how to tell Sephiroth about his relationship with the woman that would later become his mother. "I met her a long time ago in a troubled town. She was a scientist." Vincent broke off and looked at Sephiroth. The white haired man was so intent on listening to his tale. Vincent's eyes met with Sephiroth's. "It's amazing how much you look like her. The shape of your face...so much like hers."
Leira noticed that the two men were trailing behind her. "I'll bet you Joe could kick your asses at a race, the way you two are flirting with each other! He'd run circles around the both of you!”
Vincent and Sephiroth eyed each other. "Did she say…?" asked the ex-Turk in shock.
The ex-Shinra general smiled at him and nodded.
Vincent smiled at him and put his right hand behind his head. "She does have a way with words, doesn't she?"
Sephiroth's smile widened. "She sure does."
