Chapter 2

It was the morning, Cloud had woke up, and found himself waiting next to Cid's plane, watching the mechanic rave and rant like usual, Vincent stood next to him almost emotionless like usual, almost colder than the thickest ice patches, it was off to Cosmo Canyon next, since it was near their location, Cloud waited for Cid to give the go; wiping some sleep out of his eyes, they had to get up early if they wanted to make their appointment with Nanaki, apparently Nanaki had made Cosmo Canyon prosper again under his leadership doing trips and whatever came along.

Cid kicks the PHS out the door... why because his head hurt, he got bad sleep and he had a method he always used, it was one of those sick pilot games, that they used top lay about if a kick don't' fix it, then your screwed, Cid exclaimed many curse words and went on raving and ranting like a madman, throughout the hallway, tossing things over. Apparently the whiskey had kicked in.

Cloud then spoke after he seen that Cid had disappeared, "Cid?" He said sleepily almost idle, leaning on the tarnished walls, from one of Cid's drinking binges.

Cid storms over to it and kicks it one more time like a football player, it went across the concrete steps, and slid across the ground hitting, a pothole flying up hitting his windshield on the plane, cracking it slightly.

Cloud chuckles looking back to cid, grinning ear to ear, "I suppose that means all aboard? Right?" said the swordsman rather sarcastically

Cid scowls and then laughs at what he is doing, lighting up a smoke in a better mood, his mood shifts tended to be drastically sometimes as he grabs the poor PHS exclaiming, " Why not!" then the pilot scratched his head blurting out loud, "Umm where are we going?"

Cloud spoke with that natural born leadership, "Were going to Cosmo Canyon to See Nanaki, are you with me?" That smile slowly slid up on his face again

Cid exclaimed, "Have ta'be! I'm the fucking pilot, unless you think you or vamp boy can do the job!" the pilot light up a cigarette, taking a long drag off it, blowing the smoke towards Cloud then went to work on the engine.

Cloud nodded laughing to himself being followed by the former Turk who politely took his seat chuckling about Cid's comment quietly as he found a spot in the back , leaning up against the cargo hold, Cloud looking down at the PHS before setting next to Cid pulling out some new form of the PHS, with a 25 mile radius on them, putting him one on the dashboard.

"Just fucking great, mainly because I fried the other one." The pilot cursed shaking his fist in the air then spoke once again, "Apparently dropping more than a few splashes of beer on it months ago did more damage then I expected." The Pilot took another long drag finishing the cigarette then put it out in an ashtray, leaving the bud in the tray, Cid easily lifts the plane up and off the ground like this was kid's play for him, he seemed happy just to be flying and away from the constant pleasures and pains of leadership.

Cloud chuckled, to himself speaking to his small group; those eyes of his focused, his figure composed not showing any type of weakness or nervousness the pilot so often displayed, "Nanaki wants us to rezendovus soon with him, so we can meet, I'm hoping to convince him to join our little pilgrimage, and instead of dropping by Barret's place, he's going to Cosmo Canyon as well. So we might be able to knock out two ninjas with one huge rock." He said slyly looking at Cid that so often, all of a sudden smile back on his face, he knew Cid hated.

Cid spoke once more in that usual voice of his narrowing those weather beaten eyebrows, "Get that fucking smile off your face before I kick your ass out the plane; you make me nervous when you smile like that. I know your planning something stupid, just like that damn idiot Nanaki. Probably get me and my baby shot again" Cid was referring to his plane, and his own ass, after all Cloud has bad luck when he smiles and forms together a plan. Usually things go in the other favor than theirs. Cid's hand waving in the air as he talks and gets back on the stick as he starts to land as close to the canyon as he can, making it a bumpy landing just to annoy the swordsman.

Vincent stood up as soon as they made their landing, scouting from the window looking, noticing Nanaki and Barret standing over near the midway entrance, looking at them then moving back up to the laboratory, Cloud stood up soon following him, but he stood and waited for the pilot to follow, who jumped out as soon as he finished with the plane. Cid looks at them, a smile on his face among the scruff skin that showed he hasn't shaved in a while... fact he could never really grow a beard worth shit. But Cid's head was like a twenty inch thick barrier of Titanium; if you said anything to him, you couldn't budge the pilot's will.

Nanaki was happy to see some of his friends of course. Though the situation was not what he would have preferred. He wasn't even certain if he could help them, the beast was willing to listen to their reason and try to back up his old friends the best he could, that was the right thing to do.

Cloud, looked over to the people they nodded to him, a few of them got down on their knees like they were saviors of some sort, then he motioned for them to stand up as they escorted them through Cosmo Canyon, the Turk going first noticing movement underground almost putting a hand back motioning for them to stop. As they reached Nanaki, the Turk spoke loudly and clearly, "Don't move." Apparently Vincent had noticed movement in the ground, with his heightened senses.

Barret looked over at the cat then to Vincent then moved around almost nervously, "What da' hell do you mean foo'? Ain't nothin' out here, Vin." The mayor of North Corel exclaimed, "Just dirt n' worms, that's all."

Nanaki stopped and sniffs the air. He trusted the Turk to know what he was saying; for Vincent was the best of the best, maybe better then the Turks they went against in the past. His ear also open, his paws feeling the vibration on the ground. Which he thought was odd for them to have ones that large in hard rock like they had.

Cid found the hero worship annoying, he pauses even his smoking and looks at the Turk a bit confused like but he doesn't speak, instead he lets the Turk do his job and hopes it isn't just Vincent going nuts on them, doing all that crazy demon shit. That always ended up biting him in the ass after beating the bad guy.

The sound of moving gravel was heard as Vincent almost got a shot out, a large tentacle erupted from the ground taking his gun, it had teeth on it; but the Turk had outsmarted it. Vincent beat it to the punch. Vincent chuckled pulling a grenade from his side pulling out the pin as soon as he lifted his gun, as if knowing it was going to try something of this manner. Turks were trained bytinctinct, he remarked a few times before, he dropped the grenade down the tentacle pulling the trigger shoving his gun through the gaping hole grabbing onto the nose of it ripping it out speaking loudly, "Move, Get down!" The Turk turned around pulling out his other gun firing two shots while in the air the recoil sending him up into the air almost as he spun off to the side hitting the ground hard rolling down the dirty dusty rock towards Cid and the group.

Cid dropped under the plane, not thinking about the others of course just his own skin against the far wall away from the explosion. The rocks were being thrown like hail coming down hard, almost like it was busting through glass sheets. He looked seeing what the blast had revealed, the great wyrm of darkness, and twilight. Hyakuhei, Nanaki jumped to the side covering the other with a barrier spell, growling fiercely.

Cid blurted shit out loud, which many thought was the only thing he knew how to say, Cid pulled his spear charging the Wyrm, he wasn't one to back down from a fight unless he though it was hopeless and the pilot didn't give up hope yet.

Nanaki shakes his manned head and growls taking a place near Vincent of course, guard the gunman incase another comes, maybe to attack it before it hits the Turk. The Wyrm stood still all eyes on Vincent as it went to snap at him, but turned back in mid degree to find the pilot charging at him going straight for him, it looked almost as if it was part of the Dragon family, except it had large branching tentacles.

Cid grippes his spear and stabs at an eye, regardless of his own safety, he grew a bit suicidal almost in the time since meteor has been stopped and took risky chances sometimes though only with himself like in this case.

Cloud soon charged, too watching Cid's spear enter the Wyrm's eye, the Wyrm recoiled back going from left to right, Cloud reached back grabbing his Buster sword throwing it letting it slice into the Wyrm and get logged in the tough skin, then he ran and leaped onto the sword springing up moving his left arm in front of him as he chanted speaking loudly, "Phoenix!"

Nanaki was in his guard station, watching impressed by them. He did miss the times they fought as a team. Cloud's eyes glowed with fury as he seemed to fade the Wyrm turned around to see a ring of fire around cloud's finger as clouds armor resembled a knight's armor he stuck his hand out shouting with the fury of divine power, "Bring the Light forth and destroy the Darkness." A phoenix flew through him, taking the armor off his body, the phoenix was almost like a knight and the legendary bird merged together flying through the Wyrm ripping its soul from its twisted socket, then forming into the knight of old ancient lore pulling out the large buster sword, watching it grow with divine power into Heaven's Might. Phoenix's fury rivaled Clouds own, slashing down on the Wyrm Hard cutting it into pieces, and burning it into nothing but ashes.

Cid took the time to collect his spear, laughing his ass off, his cigarette fell from his lips not that cid noticed the fact the wrym was falling at him, but it turned into ashes as it hit him; causing the pilot to blurt out more obscenities, "You Bitch ass, I knew you'd do it, You kids these days always tryin' to hurt the old man."

Barret stood there scratching his head looking to cloud, "Yo spike what the Fuck did you just do?" Cloud looked over to Cid now laughing and nodding as he looked to Vincent and Nanaki speaking, "Shall we get down to business?"

Nanaki looks at Cloud and ponders what was really going on. He wanted to hear it all now. "Come to the observatory" He goes to what used to be his grandfathers home, speaking which seemed odd coming from the red beast but not anymore; Cid had to get his turn and blurt a random comment out, "I almost felt like doing some new myself, much better than getting chased by ninjas, beasts, or any other damn disaster. " The pilot laughs and slaps Cloud on the back hard in a friendly way before following Nanaki.

Barret went first followed by the gunman, then Cloud, it seems Barret had what looked to be like a metallic arm, apparently he had Nanaki do some modifications to it while in Cosmo Canyon for so long, Cloud laughed looking to the pilot shaking his head from side to side that smile on his face again as he replied jokingly, "Your lucky it didn't eat you Cid, he might have had a taste for Disgruntled Pilots."
Cid shouted almost "Eat the greatest pilot in the world? Ha! I tell you the world wouldn't stand it! besides, I would give it indigestion from hell..!"

Cloud laughed as he looked around the caverns cameras everywhere, robot guards, it seems some modification was made to this simple life so they had an easier life not having to worry about those common problems. The rock looked as it always did that rusty red, as if it had never changed the Gi entrance seemed to have been barred up as if something was trying to escape one night. He went to the observatory, looking around with the rest of the group.

Nanaki easily went ahead and asked the girl who assisted him to start up some tea for his friend, mainly cid to keep cid awake, and waited for his friends. Cid pauses to light a cigarette and thus falls behind the line going to the observatory; not that he wanted to be first but realized he needed a smoke.

His friends followed taking their usual spots in the room, Vincent up against the far wall leaning back examining the scenery, Barret close to the action. Cloud was about midway that way he could hear both sides, Barret watched cloud to see how the boy aged, he was a boy when he was with him, now he was a man, and older man, that was changed by the same green liquid that changed all of them.

Cid had no usual spot, maybe close to the door was his spot the one time he came here and thought the planet scream was full a shit idea. He was handed his cup of tea as the girl hands them out to anyone who wants a cup.

Nanaki takes his grandfather's spot because he was now doing that job and he sits on all fours to look at cloud. His wits till everyone is served and settled before speaking. "Tell us, what is going on."

Most of them didn't notice it early, this Haunting Memory would soon come full force, at them; reaping and taking everything it sees. They'll never figure out what its about in the end probably, but they were getting close the Wyrm was one hint, the Wyrm was supposed to be of Myth,

Cloud thought of these things speaking out loud giving one of his speeches, "Well as you've noticed we should have aged by many years, at least twenty a piece, but look at us, were still young, have you noticed any change within the last few months around the scenery? The places you live at? Or have you noticed the people?"

Nanaki sighs "My people don't age, but even my normal rate has slowed."

Cid thinks and it dawns on him that this was so, "Yeah, I'm like 50, and I look the same I did meteor was stopped, this have anything to do with Aeris and the lifestream; because we were caught in the stream full blast that day. I know, when you all looked away I kept my gaze, I saw her face in the lifestream."

Cloud, "Maybe its all part of some plan, you've noticed the ancient Wyrm of lore appearing again? Apparently some great evil is coming back and I think Aeris wants us to work together to destroy it, I think she's helping us."

Cid, "She is dead... what the hell can she do? Aside float and go thru walls, whatever. I don't care why we're the same. I'll work with your pathetic asses and save the world again." The pilot did that little chuckle to himself.

Nanaki sighs again and thinks a bit, "I can't just leave my people. I am their protector and leader"

Vincent spoke up, "Whatever your decision, I'm with you to the Death." He nodded to cloud, he had to repent, he had to make it up to Lucercia. Then Barret spoke, "I guess'll stay wit'ya Spikey, Since your keeping us alive."

Cloud looked to Nanaki, "Nanaki I know you care for your people, but do you want a city left to protect, I doubt you'd have an easy time if more of those Wyrms came, and even more evil, if we stick together we can fight this thing through and you'll have a city to protect when you get back."

The large red beast sighed, its voice slightly straining then it spoke, "Then I have no choice. I'll go with you and face whatever you must face. I'll stay to the end"

Cloud pulled his fist down towards himself, speaking, "Alright. Lets move out." He chuckled as they went on. Nanaki goes to make arrangements for another to leader while he is gone but will be back to join them. Cid just laughs and smokes, following cloud for now. Not that he had anything better to do and having a purpose in life was what he needed most. This was his purpose alright. Plus, he was willing to jump off a cliff for cloud anyway. "Thank god you stopped using those lame terms!"

He chuckled looking to Cid, "Oh I'm keeping a few of them just for you, mosey definitely stays for later" he replied sarcastically, as the rest of the group followed him outside where they'd watch the sun set, and gather around the campfires and think of the old times, before the long hard road ahead of them.
