Chapter 1 A Gunner's Lucky Shot

Underneath the metal Plate that hid the blue sky, there lived the city of Midgar ruled by the massive company, Shin-Ra Electric Power Company. The company's main target for experiments was a young woman with long deep brown hair and sparkling emerald green eyes. But lately, their target has been the woman's companion, a mysterious young woman with short light brown hair and heterochromatin eyes, everyone in the slums found it strange she wore a long tail in the back of her hair and often wore different clothes, wielding different weapons.

The people who saw her told others that she fell from the sky, through the ceiling of an old church in sector 5. The strange woman told the people she was on a journey to find the one she loved deeply. But despite the efforts she had made, the only clue she had a small sphere which played a video of a young man with spiky blond hair and bright sea blue eyes.

One day, she was by herself, leaning out of a two story cottage, staring up at the hidden sky, the sky whose color was the same as the eyes of her dear beloved. She sighed, and heard some footsteps, just the sound of footsteps made her heart leap into her chest and she turned to see who was coming. A man who was slightly older than her with long fiery red hair tied back into a ponytail and light sea green aqua eyes, resting in his wildly red hair was a pair of sunglasses, strange marks almost seem to encircle his eyes, and he wore a blue tuxedo with the white shirt underneath opened a bit. The woman gasped and took a step back; she couldn't back but get a strange feeling from this man. The man smiled and sighed.

"I don't mean to frighten you, I'm Reno, a Turk." He said, introducing himself, holding out his hand to shake hers. The woman hesitated and took his hand, introducing herself, "I'm Yuna." They shook for awhile, but then Reno pulled Yuna closer to him and kissed her on the lips, Yuna struggled to break free, but unbeknownst to her, Reno pulled out a needle and stuck in it into her upper right arm. He pulled down on the needle and watched the strange colored liquid inside disappear inside Yuna's body.

Then he pulled away and left, Yuna felt weird for a moment, gripping her right arm. As if on cue, the woman who Yuna met when she came here stepped out of the cottage. She wore a light pink dress underneath a short sleeve deep jacket, wrapped around her wrists were silver bracelets, and on her feet were brown boots. Her hair was up in a braid, tied in a ribbon of the same color as her dress.

"Yuna, is everything alright?" she asked, worried about her, Yuna nodded and smiled, hugging the woman. "I'm fine, Aerith. No need to worry…" she said softly. Aerith Gainsborough sighed and hugged her back. After a few moments, they headed into the cottage, Yuna slowly pushing the strange kiss from Reno out of her mind.

A few days later, Yuna found herself on a train heading for the first sector of Midgar; she let her mind wander as she listened to the leader rant about the mission. The leader was a rough looking man; he had short black and dark brown eyes, wearing camouflage style clothes. Yuna found it very interesting how his dark skin went well with his dog tag necklace, dark green vest, and camouflage pants.

For some reason, he had only black leather glove on his hand; the other was a machine gun. She completely ignored the stares she was receiving, she was in her Gunner dressphere, and it only consisted of the white sleeveless shirt with the Zanarkand Abes symbol, the red hood, the blue semi-dress that only covered her right leg, her brown belt, the yellow shoulder pads, and her knee high black boots.

Standing next to her was a young man with spiky blond hair and dull sea blue eyes, he wore a navy blue sleeveless sweater-like turtle collar shirt, a rusty old shoulder pad covered his left shoulder, brown gloves on his hands, violet colored pants, and brown combat boots. From what Yuna knew, this man used to work for Shin-Ra and was a member of a brute group called SOLDIER.

In a way, Yuna thought about the Crusaders, who fought against Sin two years ago. She sighed again, immediately thinking of her beloved. She remembered how confused he was when he heard of the Crusaders, and wished he was with her right now. The man was only part of this rebel group to get some money, Yuna also wanted to get money, but to help Aerith and her mother pay the rent for their home.

The train soon stopped in the station with a couple Shin-Ra Company guards protecting the platform. A woman with short brown hair and bright blue eyes jumped out and knocked out the guards. Two men joined the blond haired woman ran up the stairs. The leader jumped out and behind him, shouting, "Follow us, newcomers."

The leader ran up the stairs to join the others, Yuna was the first to jump from the top of the train; the man followed close behind her. Some new guards appeared; Yuna took out her guns and twirled them, before aiming them at the guards while the man took out a huge sword. The two knocked out the guards quickly, and then joined the woman and the men.

"Wow!" One of the men examined the man and his outfit. "You used to be in SOLDIER, alright! I can just from looking at you!"

"SOLDIER?" The woman shouted. "Biggs, aren't they the enemy? Why is HE here?"

The other man, Wedge, told her, "Calm down, Jess. He USED to be a part of SOLDIER. Didn't catch his name though..."

"My name is Cloud," The man introduced, then turned to Yuna and everyone waited for her to introduce herself.

"I'm Yuna; I'm just here to help my family…." She looked rather nervous and looked away.

"Cloud and Yuna, huh?" Biggs whispered the name to himself for awhile then said, "Well, my name is..."

"Listen, I don't care what your names are." Cloud said. "I'm just here for the money."

Biggs could only nod when the group heard a familiar voice shout, "HEY! No traveling in groups!" It was the leader running up to them, he looked toward Cloud, then to Yuna, then looked toward Biggs and asked him, "They the new members of our rebellion?"

Biggs nodded while Jessie entered the code to open the door, the door opened and Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie ran inside the reactor. Meanwhile the leader decided to stay behind to talk with Yuna and Cloud.

"I don't trust you, ex-SOLDIER," Barret said. "Name's Barret."

Yuna and Cloud nodded and walked with him into the reactor, Barret turned to Cloud, a sour expression on his face. "Hey, have you been in a reactor before?" Yuna looked away from them, she had only seen the reactors, never been inside one. Cloud, however, had probably in the reactor too many times to count.

"Of course, I used work for Shin-Ra Company before." Cloud replied in a rather cold tone. Yuna sighed.

Barret sighed as well, he told Cloud, "Cloud, the world is dying because of Shin-Ra." Although Yuna wasn't sure if Barret really meant that statement, she couldn't help but feel he was right. Almost every day since her arrival, she would hear a faint cry, but she didn't know where it was coming out.

"That is none of my concern." Cloud simply walked past him. "I'm just there for the money, not a lecture and definitely not saving the world." Yuna sweatdropped, the way Cloud spoke reminded her a lot of Beclem, the new captain of her hometown's Blitzball team, the Besaid Aurochs. She was only grateful of what made Cloud different from Beclem though, all Beclem did was denounce the Summoners, and Yuna was still a little peeved at that memory.

Barret grew angry at what Cloud said, but he sighed and followed him, Yuna walking by his side. The group waited for Jessie to enter the code and open the door, which she did. The one thing Yuna wasn't used to on this strange world was the technology, it was very different on what used on Spira, her home world. As she thought about how different Gaea was from Spira, a soft whistle was heard throughout the room. Everyone, including Yuna, wondered where the sound came from.

Barret entered the room with Yuna as Biggs entered another code to open the next door. They walked into the next room, and Wedge entered the final code to open the door to the elevator. Biggs stood by the door, letting Jessie, Yuna, Barret, and Cloud enter the elevator.

Jessie pressed a green button and the elevator started to descend. The whole room was quiet; Yuna leaned against the cold wall, Barret turned to Cloud and said, "Cloud, the world's going to die if no one does something."

"Look, Barret," Cloud said, crossing his arms. "I don't care what happens to the world. I'm just here for my money." Yuna smiled, she found it weird how similar certain people reminded her of her friends, aside from his attitude, Barret was like Wakka, a leader, she already knew that Cloud's cold attitude reminded her of Beclem. She sighed, thinking about the rest of the people she knew on Spira.

Jessie grabbed Barret's shoulder to prevent him from attacking Cloud while Cloud stood where he was, the elevator stopped and Cloud was the first to exit it. Following behind him was a cursing Barret, Jessie, and Yuna. They came to a long broken thick, Jessie jumped to the other, Yuna jumped after her, Barret followed, and Cloud followed out last.

Jessie stopped at a ladder and turned to Cloud and Yuna, saying, "The spot is down there." Cloud nodded and climbed down the ladder, Yuna went down after him, and Barret followed behind them. They crossed the bridge to the center pillar; Barret took a bomb and gave it to Cloud.

"Shouldn't you do this?" he asked.

"I'm gonna watch you, so you don't mess up!" Barret told him.

Cloud sighed and walked over to the pillar, he planted the bomb and was about to enter the code when he heard a voice.

'Please, wait! This isn't just a Reactor!'

Cloud looked around, but shook his head and entered the code. Soon, a red light flashed, Cloud ran back to Barret and Yuna. Barret smiled and walked back to the ladder when a red machine scorpion appeared.

They took out their weapons, getting to fight the giant red machine obviously sent by Shin-Ra to stop from blowing the reactor.

Cloud slashed at the legs while Yuna shot at the head with her guns, Barret shot with his gun arm. When the machine was about to attack Yuna, Cloud got in the way and was hit. Barret was about to attack when its long tail was lifted in the air. Cloud gasped and shouted at Barret and Yuna, "Don't attack when its tail is up!" Barret and Yuna nodded, Yuna changed to Songstress and decided to boost everyone's defense. She began to sing, "Every night, in my dreams, I see you, I feel you. That is how I know you go on."

Apparently, Cloud and Barret was awestruck at her singing, from what they were seeing, not only were their defense being boosted, the two got to see a different side of Yuna, her expressions seemed to match what she was singing, "Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go on." As for Yuna, she was singing about her beloved, the man who touched her heart with not wits or looks, but kindness. Although coming from the holy city, Zanarkand, he still had a kind of kindness that she loved. She would journey until she found him.

"Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on. Once more, you open the door and you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on…" Yuna began to cry, her memories of her dear beloved beginning to swell in her heart, she saw everything about him fading, his eyes, his words, even his smile…. Yuna cried harder, and continued to sing.

Cloud wondered what made Yuna what she was, he was told she was looking for the one she loved, and she won't stop until she did. He sighed as he listened to her sing, "Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime and never let until we're gone. Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to, in my life will always go on." Ever since becoming a SOLDIER, Cloud had abandoned all emotion, but upon meeting the beautiful strange woman, he felt a certain change come over him, she had an aura that reminded him of someone, although who he wasn't sure.

Barret couldn't help but think about his family, he was only fighting Shin-Ra because they took away his wife and his friend from him, and he took it upon himself to care for his friend's only child, who was waiting for him at AVALANCHE's hideout. As he listened to Yuna sing, he felt something, but he couldn't place on what it was. "Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on. Once more, you open the door and you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on….."

Yuna, for her part, continued to think about her beloved, and how she deeply missed him, her new journey to find him, and the mysteries that surrounded her search. "You're here! There's nothing I fear, and I know that my heart will go on! We'll stay forever this way! You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on…"

By the time she finished, she reverted back to Gunner and gripped her gun tightly. That's when the laser at the tail blasted a large beam at the trio. They all fell to the ground, but the damage wasn't too bad, thanks to Yuna giving sung to boost their defense. Yuna stood up and aimed her gun at the scorpion, but shook. She couldn't pull the trigger, Cloud and Barret stared at her and gasped.

Yuna didn't see it but a pair of slightly solid transparent hands belonging to a tall young man standing behind her wrapped themselves around her trembling hands and helped straighten her figure. Then the hand over her trigger hand gently pulled down on her finger and a small bullet came out of her gun.

The bullet hit its mark and went through the machine; Yuna dropped her arms and fell to her knees as the machine exploded, her gun still smoking from the blast. She sighed and felt something cold next to her hand, looking down, Yuna gasped. Laying on the ground right next to her hand was a silver necklace with a pendant in the shape of the Zanarkand Abes symbol and an earring in the same shape. Picking up the items, Yuna cried and held them close to her heart, smiling at one more clue to find him. Yuna, along with Cloud and Barret, stood up and ran to the ladder, wanting to leave before the bomb exploded. Cloud seemed to notice something wrong with Jessie.

He walked over to her and saw one of her legs was struck. Sighing, he helped her free her struck leg, she smiled, Barret and Yuna arrived at the top. They ran back to the elevator and entered it. Jessie pressed the button and turned to Barret. Yuna gasped for air, still cradling the two objects she found.

"Jessie, how much time is left for us to escape?" Barret asked.

"I don't know, probably two or one minute," she said, a discourage look on her face.

Cloud slammed his fist into the wall, a ticked look on his face. Before anyone could do anything, Cloud ran out of the elevator when it stopped, with Yuna right behind him, and past Biggs and Wedge as Barret and Jessie joined them as well as they exited the elevator. They were well out of the way when the fire ring from the explosion appeared, but the shock wave made the group fall to the ground.

Only one person cried out, it was Wedge, the fire was caught on his pants, he was running around like crazy. Yuna sweatdropped and laughed, Barret stood up and said, "We'll meet up at the station." With that said, everyone went their own way to station, leaving Yuna with Barret.

"Hey..." Cloud spoke up, Barret waved at him, telling him to wait til they got to the hideout. Sighing, Cloud walked around the town when he heard a voice.

"Excuse me..."

Oh my. I hope you enjoy the story! ^^

 

Well, that was certainly.. interesting. I'm not sure whether I am fond of the story line yet, the exchanges shared between the characters is interesting but the whole singing and Tidus' arms appearing around her was extremely cheesy and not really too my liking. xD

I congratulate you on your use of dialogue; you're one of those people who use it to tell a part of the story effectively. Your grammar and spelling is also flawless.

I have one major complaint, and it can be summed up in two words- purple prose. Your descriptions are overbearing and I almost drowned in your overuse of adjectives. There is absolutely no need to go into so much depth when describing a character or a scene. A good writer can describe a setting or person subtly and not just launch a sea of adverbs and adjectives.
