Advent Revenge

vance heard a gun shot off in the distance.
i wonder what that was about...

rose hurried down the dark streets.
it should be just up ahead a short ways.
she continued to run until she saw the 'Strife Delivery' sign.
here it is.

 

Ren dodged the bullet and jumped down.

Vincent held his hand out. "You're coming with me, kid."

 

Red and Ramirez jumped to the ground, spreading throughout the area trying to find worthy people to join the Abyss. They hid in the shadows of Midgar, while then pulling some strings, that made fights between different people. They then looked from up top another building after they climbed it, only to gaze at the sight of all of these people fighting each other. Eventually, this area of midgar turned into an all-out warzone. "Now, ...to find the worthy." Red said, extending out his hands and closing his eyes and saying something in a language that no one of Gaia could probably understand.

"Now show me, show me the worthy in a world stained in its own blood, let the blood of the lost, and the blood of Gaia unite, let her show me those who are marked by the origin of Destiny. Cross her power with mine, and grant me her eyes, show me the chosen!" This was what he was chanting.

All of a sudden, Vance, Ren, Rosa, Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, Cid, Red XIII, Barret, Yuffie, and even Sephiroth could instantly sense someone calling them in their mind, it was voiceless, and not even with telepathy did it really sound like anything, but it was an essence of power which they clearly have never seen before within the planet of Gaia.

Could there be someone with more authority then that of the very spirit of the planet which they stood?

 

"what?"
vance spun around in circles.
where...where is that coming from?
he stood there confused.

rose stood outside the door.
she had reached for the handle when she felt an ominous presence.
rose stood there as stiff as a board.
what...what could this possibly be?

 

Vincent, Ren, Tifa, and Sephiroth shuddered at the feeling. "W-What is that?" Vincent muttered.

 

rose wasn't sure how she felt at that moment, but she shook off the feeling and grabbed the handle.
before turning it she knocked on the door.
"tifa. tifa are you in there?"

 

Tifa blinked. "Uh... yeah, who is it?"

 

Red saw them all in a simple flash, even those who died that were, needless to say, important. He then opened his eyes and dropped his hands back down. "Master Red, what did you see?" Ramirez asked. ".....A lot of those living are truly potentials. ......But I don't think they'd join our cause." Red said as he jumped down from the building. "So what shall we do?" Ramirez asked as he too jumped down. They both bear witness to the fighting, and were about to walk away when one of them found out they were lying and went to kill them. The next instant, a spear made of crimson shot out of Red's hand, and right through the man's skull, killing him instantly before he dropped to the floor. Red then held out his hand, making the blood float into the air and get absorbed into his body, leaving the corpse now completely bloodless. "Pathetic. ......Hmm...?" Red asked as he looked upon this corpse, thinking in his head of an idea about to develop. "......Dead........I have an idea. Come, we head for the outer cliffs of Midgar." Red said to his partner as he began to walk away. "....Master, might I ask what for?" Ramirez asked. Red then looked at him, his glare capable of killing an elephant in shock, as it changes shades of Crimson, as if the iris was flowing blood. "....That is where we shall gain our first member." He said to him. Ramirez stood there for a sec, then catchd up with Red as he walked away.

 

"it's rose. may i come in?"
rose put her palm on the door and twisted the handle with the hand she currently had placed on it.
she noticed it was unlocked but waited until she was properly accepted inside before she entered.

 

Tifa shook off the strange feeling. "Uh, yeah. Come in." She turned to the door.

 

Red and Ramirez walked over to where the buster sword was in the ground, where Zack sacrificed himself so Cloud would live. "A poor soul, Trying hard to protect his friend, only to die...." Red said. "What shall we do, Master Red?" Ramirez asked. ".......We shall offer a second chance." Red said as he extended his hand out into the air and started chanting again. About a minute of chanting, the skies began to turn blood red and the earth around the two began to shake.

 

"thank you"
rose pushed the door open and stepped inside.
she looked around.
"oh, i'm sorry. was i interupting something."

 

"Oh, no. It's okay." Tifa smiled a little.

 

rose smiled back at her.
"all right then."
she walked inside and went to sit on the couch.
"so...did you hear?"

 

"Hear about what?" Tifa asked, sitting next to her. She had a pretty good idea of what Rose was talking about.

 

rose was nervous to speak, in case Tifa had no knowledge of what was going on.
"ab-b-bout ren?...and sephiroth...and..."

vance stood there in a daze, confused as to where the voice had come from.
"SHOW YOURSELF!"

 

Tifa tried not to cry. "Oh... yes... I heard..."

 

rose swallowed back the knot in her throat.
"t-tifa...they'll save him. d-dont worry, everything...everything is gunna...gunna," she stared off into the distance thinking vance, "be fine.."

 

Tifa hung her head down, hiding the tears.

Ren quickly charged at Vincent.

Vincent aimed at Ren.

 

Rose wrapped her arms around her to comfort tifa. "please don't cry."
