Chapter 3
A Hero's Stand. Standing Together Forever

Cloud looked over towards the sunrise, noticing movement in the water he shook his head sideways as he seen a gusty wind blow towards Cosmo Canyon, the blades of grass being ripped from the ground, dirt starting to fly at him he stood there to face it, to face this new evil, by himself if he had too; he wouldn't let the planet go this easy, he was stronger, he saved it once, and he suppose he'd save it again if he had the chance.

Nanaki makes his way over to Cloud. He loves to watch the sunrise. It gave him a feeling of peace and well being that nothing else could do. The feel of a new day? Yes, it was the feel of a new day, and new hope. It was facing the day that was easier for him; he really didn't have trouble doing so. Now, the idea great danger was on them all, seeing the sunrise was extra special.

"Its coming again." Cloud said self confident, as Barret walked over beside him looking forward that same weather beaten look on his face as he stood there looking two the two, nodding, throwing in a few words of his own, "No matter what it is, I'm with you guys, standing tall and strong�forever."

Out of the air came what looked to be like Typhoon, it seemed to take Barret's words and shove them down the toilet; it was as if the large man had said nothing. The sight of Typhoon was that powerful to the people, but to the group Barret's words remained true. It was almost like Typhoon but a dark green and brown, almost like the color of wind and dirt, and ridding on typhoon as a little bitty pixie like sprite with a fancy spear, the pixie was Enki god of wisdom and water ridding atop of Enlil god of the winds. Apparently Myth had arisen in the land? Or evil just lingers on after it dies.

Cid wonders over to them. Nanaki woke his old ass up and he never saw the sunrise in what seemed to be several years. He didn't want to see the sunrise. When he woke up one might have thought he was a vampire witnessing the sun come by way he hissed and covered his head with a blanket. He got up and ready anyway. Now he was there and looks at the sprite confused. "What the fuck is that?
Na
Nanaki, "looks like some form of sprite... water sprite."

Cloud spoke, "If you feel weak, this is the time to throw that feeling out, don't give up, you have to search deep within, and find your inner strength, and don't give up, and don't be a quitter, don't fall like the rock, of this cavern."

Vincent replied almost out of nowhere, he was standing on a broken concrete pillar near cid and the roof apparently he had been on the roof on watch all night, "You are both correct."

Cloud took a step forward and made an attempt of communication with the creature, "You have no business here, take your creature and leave."

Cid yawns and grabs his spear, "I need some coffee before this bullshit." The pilot wasn't adjusted to early morning habbits, apparently he had grown lazy over the years; even though his vigor and youth was renewed.

Enki spoke softly and rather well articulated, "My business is destroying you." The water colored sprite remarked rather darkly a chuckle slipping out of its mouth.

Nanaki smacks Cid in the leg with his glowing tail to wake the pilot up more. The pilot squeals almost like a pig, but instead a yelp comes from him and Nanaki smiles a bit to himself.

Enki spoke once more, "Your on our native land, which we intend to take back."

Nanaki growls and steps beside Cloud sending out a thundering almost booming voice, "This is the land of my people. I shall not let you do them harm or to harm my friends, your intentions are wrong, and will only create fighting that shouldn't be caused. This is the land of anyone who wants to live here, it will not be ruled by some dictator!"

Cloud looked to the left and to the right as Barret shook his fist yelling out words, that were garbled and jumbled, Vincent on the other hand took the time to have both guns loaded up and ready and his rifle out on the roof aimed right at the creatures head, leaned back looking through the scope.

Cid looking at this creature and yelling loudly snorted raising up his spear. The pilot had way too much pride, which would get him hurt eventually, "I can take it."

Enki, "Then Die!" Enki raised up his arm to hurl his spear at Cid but before he could hurl it, the sprite's arm was shot off by the gunman who raised his head up smiling with that sad delight he had. Enki's arm started leaking water then all of a sudden it froze all jagged and odd, as the creature slid down a fountain of water that appeared sliding down Cid's ankles and the fall went back around to where Cid not being awake full starts to freak at this. He really needs caffeine in the morning. His eyes go wide and his arms spin and he falls off the edge of course. "Aw shit!"

Barret opened fire on the creature busting shards off of it, as it hissed, Vincent took open a shot on Enlil causing the creature to slightly fall towards Cid in a tailspin, almost grabbing him, Nanaki tries jumping at the sprite spin and slashes at the sprite with an extended paw, trying to slash it in the throat but willing to hit whatever he can reach, Nanaki isn't picky. Nanaki put a claw mark down the side of its face as Enki was assaulted by a barrage of attacks, then Enki dealt some of his own, forming an ice lance, hitting cloud in one knee, then the other and jumping up hitting him in the back of the head causing him to stumble then swinging it around hitting barret's arm over which the lance shattered and Barret picked up the creature crushing it almost with his metallic arm. Enki sent out some frost breath at him, but Barret leaned back and avoided it barely. After getting back to his feet, Cid throws Venus Gospil at the creature of course. H didn't want to be left out of this fight. Wishing he had some coffee, and a cigarette to boot. The creature was hit dead in the throat, Enlil sent out a gust of wind at Cid who goes tumbling and reaches out for Vincent with his right arm, not wanting to be smacked like a doll against the rocks, Vincent grabbed his arm standing still. The gunman wouldn't give up, he had to make a stand like Cloud and not give up and not be a quitter. Nanaki jumps into the air in a spin and thrusts at the sprite with an extended paw again, trying to shove his big furry claw, through the sprite's skull, and break through his cytoskeleton. The sprite struggled but was beaten in the end by the large cat, the claw cutting through its face ripping through its very face, turning it inside out, then the head being barely hanging on was decapitated when a reflex made the sprite lean back and try to avoid the hit, its head flew off to the side, Barret released the creature, "Damn Cat, done got guts on me, jeez..." Vincent noticed something while standing tall with the callous pilot, it was something in the back of the scenery, it looked like the Cosmo Canyon entrance sign, he fired two shots at the creature estimating he'd fall down, and avoid, Vincent through success, as the bullets reflected off the metal against tign,ign, flying back, the creature wailed out in pain as the bullets ripped holes in its head, then left a trail of red which detonated when blood came in contact blowing Enlil to bits and pieces.

Cid meanwhile, made his way to a tree nose diving at it, exclaiming shit every once in a while finally the pilot grabs the tree like an awkward man who doesn't climb trees to save his own life, to fall out of the tree but land on his ass anyway. He was okay but complained and sent out excuses like usual, "I need a coffee and a fucking goddamn smoke! All creatures we'll kick your asses later, just let me have a smoke�Jesus!" Cid proceeds to light up a cigarette his hands shaking in a nicotine fit.

Nanaki smiles at Barret in that full tooth grin as he looks the big man over, "I would think you were used to wearing disgusting stuff Barret."

Vincent slung his cape to the right real quick, shaking the mess of it, as he kicked off the tree jumping up putting his hands on the edge of the canyon near Cloud and the group on top of the cliff, pushing himself up with ease as if he weignothnothing, it was so slow as if there was no gravity, kind of odd, he stood there looking over to Cid now shaking his head.

Cid sighs as his hands slowly stop shaking and the nicotine enters his system, a happy grin on his face now. He knew better then to forget his first morning smoke. It was just he was so sleepy it didn't come to him till full fit. The pilot had grown lazy in their wake, apparently his new youth and vigor wasn't as powerful as the human habits and cngs.ngs.

Barret shook his head sweat dripping down the side of his face, "No, mayne', cat', whatever, that stuff ain't cool, messin' up my shine." his shine referring to his shinny metal arm

Nanaki, "Pardon me, we better get you cleaned up then." Has some of the lads of the canyon get something to help clean the large man off with. Get his "Shine" back." He can't help but chuckle some. Nanaki makes his way to look cloud over, "Are you okay?"

Cloud was still on one knee looking down at the ground, blood seeping from his head, going down the side of his face he replied, "I'm fine, just thinking." Cloud said to himself I hesitated, Sephiroth will kill me if I do that, he'll slice me into bits. He's take advantage of my weaknesses.

Nanaki calls for someone to get some healing potions for Cloud. He doubted the man was *okay* and didn't inquire further. While he has resources at his paws, he was going to help them.

Cloud spoke "I've seen images, when I was hit. Rather disturbing and troubling, considering my plans now have changed."

Cid, "Umm. . thanks Vincent! You saved my old ass again." He says before he makes his way back to the others of course. Vincent saved him way too many times, but the pilot didn't care that his edge was rather dull now. To himself he wouldn't quit, not matter the odds, he would go down fighting, Till he collapsed.

Nanaki thinks a moment before calmly saying, "Share what you seen. We are a team and if they are vital, we need know it."

Cloud shook his head from side to side, almost shaking as he forced himself to stay calm he lifted his head looking to Nanaki with those blue eyes showing a little bit of fear, hate, and remorse all at the same time, that same old gloom, like when he was around, "I think he's alive......Sephiroth.....but he's different, faster, stronger, bigger. He doesn't' care this time, he goes on slaerinering as if they are nothing but simple animals, no thought or time to evaluate."

Nanaki speaks calmly but soothing way, "We shall then face him again cloud. You overcame him before. Must stay strong and true to yourself. Not let the lies, fear, and self doubt creep in."

Cid yawns as he leans against Barret, the callous man used him as a wall but, the man was taller then cid; almost like a wall of muscle and bone, not very comfortable. The pilot spoke up now quirking a brow coughing, as if he had cancer at Cloud's words, "Sephiroth? We'll kick his ass even harder this time. Don't worry, I won't let him get to you kid." Laughs like the overconfident man he is. Anyone knew that Cid believes he could beat Sephiroth just because he was a Highwind. His philosophy was that Highwinds were the best, the most civilized and should act adequate and take on all challenges chin held high.

He didn't tell them of the other part, the forbidding part, "We need to go to Nibelhiem." Cloud turned around masking his emotions, he couldn't tell them of the large mass scale violence about to happen.

Cid spoke up now, gruffly then in his regular tone after coughing a bit, "Then lets get moving!" fact he was already standing didn't stop him from jumping up some and off the ground in a full turn as he hurries to his plane. Flying was just as good an eye opening to cid as coffee. It was his breakfast in a mission, flying put him in his own little world, it was his best skill, best friend, and best nemesis at the same time. Flying was life for Cid as it was for all Highwinds, he took it with all seriousness hurrying to the plane.

Nanaki eyes cloud a bit longer for he suspects Cloud isn't telling them everything. Cloud keeps many things to himself. Too much to himself and it will make him crash if he doesn't open up soon. Nanaki, "Tifa is still in Nibelhiem. If something is going to happen, we better hurry back."

The swordsman simply nodded, not really a solemn nod. His nod was more of a forced nod, against his better judgment of course to him it seemed everyone made their way to the airplane, forming their own opinions, and bickeringthemthemselves and muttering aloud, getting aboard the plane.

Nanaki kept quiet of course as he settles inside the plane. Cid had the engine started, just needed them to pile inside the plane of course. Once their all in the pilot proceeds to take off and head to tountountain town which was close by. His own home was beyond the town after all. Then the gruff man spoke up once more, "Got good news! The propellers arrived in my town and soon the airship will be ready to use again!"

Everyone did their little cheer and nod as they went back to their own little world thinking and bidding their time. Many thought of their home town, their friends, families, and lives they left behind on this quest. It had to be done so they could have a family and town to come home from.

Nanaki, "Umm... does it still work?"

Cid sputters a moment before he can get what he wanted out, "OF COURSE IT STILL WORKS?! That is the most damned question I heard since Cloud told us to mosey out, and hurry and get Sephiroth! You doubt my skills and I'll kick your furry little ass out the plane!"

Nanaki knowing Cid, and that he would throw him off the plane at any moment stayed quest, the cat chuckled and took a cat nap going quiet meekly.

As the heroes fly , one waits already in Nibelhiem. The figure hide in the shadows of the secret lab. Waiting and watching. Hatred and anger boiling in his once gentle mind like a festering wound. He turned his thoughts into chaos. Waiting for what he doesn't understand but yet unable to leave the place that was a prison to him again. The prison of his own making. Eyes that glow a violet blue in the shadows glimmered. He has waited and can wait longer. Knowing he shall be realized and given direction. Needing it so soon, the thought of revenge boiled much like scar tissue, when exposed to hot water. The figure shook a little bit as a tear ran down the side of his face, a single black thick colored tear
