Sephiroth read the message that Zack had quickly brought in.
Sephiroth put it down with a frown on his face. As the letter had
stated he had no comprehension whatsoever, but he just happened
to rescue the last Turk a decade or so back. So he picked up his
pen and began to write. Then laughing he crumpled up the paper
and ordered Zack to go out with the Highwind and pick up the
middle aged Turk. Sephiroth pondered the letter over and over.
Who was this cat and what does "she" or "he"
have to do with this weapon?? A thought then dawned on him.
"Duh I haven't even seen the weapon yet!!" he exclaimed.
So almost immediately he stood up and made his way toward it's
holding place.
The figure slowly climbed up to the generals window. Inside it
was dark and full of gloom. The figure opened the window and
crept in. Then slowly opened the closet and sat in a compartment
made in the bottom, closed both doors, and sat quietly awaiting
the mystery generals return.
At the hut Sephiroth gasped at the discovery. He slowly picked up
the weapon and looked at it. It was Lacey's, no it must be a copy.
The shacrum fell into the pit lost forever. He put down the
weapon and turned to ask a guard where it was found. The guard
replied "well we were digging to put in a new soldier
holding place. it was to be an underground one. While we were
digging about 20 feet down the tunnel fell through and we
literally stumbled upon it."
Sephiroth was amazed and he returned to the hut to take another
look but it was gone. Sephiroth ran out looking for someone
anyone that could have taken it when he noticed a small square of
bush that seemed out of place. He squinted his keen mako eyes and
noticed a moving patch of blur. There was no other way to
describe it. It was a transparent blur.
He went to chase after it but it was gone. The "blur"
returned to human form as soon as it returned to a small nearby
beach. It was a young woman and in her right hand she gripped the
shacrum. She began to walk toward a small recess in the rocks,
before entering she looked around to make sure that the tall man
did not follow her. The man seemed familiar, but it was too dark
to notice any features. She ducked into the rock yet again
seeming to disappear. Though, this time she ducked onto her
fortress, and did not become a blur.
Back at the hotel Sephiroth noticed the window was left open. Hmm,
room service, he figured.
So he promptly walked over and shut it. The second he sat down a
tall man with black raven hair entered the room. The mans ruby
eyes sparkled seeming like he was just awakened. Sephiroth
apologized for the
sudden urgency, but he showed the man the letter. The man
shrugged not thinking anything of it. He turned around and found
a place to sit next to Sephiroth.
Zack walked in turning on the light. Suddenly they all turned to
the closet as they heard a small gasp. Thinking nothing of it the
men turned to each other. The man then introduced him self to the
young Zack as......
"Vincent, Vincent Valentine" the figure said quietly.
Squinting to see, the figure almost gasped again at the sight of
Sephiroth. Ha the figure thought "hmm a double prize for the
mistress. She's found hers and I've found mine. Surely their plan
would work now."
The figure longed to just jump out and capture the bounty, but it's
professional senses told the figure to wait for the perfect
moment. Soon the figure was rewarded with the cautions it took.
Zack got up to leave the room, and Sephiroth moved to a far off
corner in the room to shine his masamune.
Sephiroth began to wonder out loud "who is this cat and what
does it want?"
Just then they both heard a voice say "I am" They
replied with a what do you want. The figure replied with the
answer "you" suddenly there was a flash of red orange
as the cat pounced out from its hiding place. Both men glared at
the female warrior standing in front of them. They went to move
but were too late. the cat leaped into the air bringing out a
dart gun, pegging both men.
Though Vincent was immune. Sephiroth lay asleep on the floor
affected by the tranquilizer. The cat then brought out a whip and
snapped it. :::crack::
Vincent took a soft blow to the head. He sat stunned and The Cat
took her chance. She wrapped Vincent in her whip and the Cat
jumped out the window landing on a great black panther below. She
tugged the whip and soon Vincent was with her too. The panther
reared the sprinted off into the forest. None of the soldiers had
the speed nor swiftness to chase it. The two rode off into the
night never to be caught. Sephiroth still lie on the floor in the
hotel and Zack stood stunned at what just happened in his absence.
