A Fallen Heaven

The four of us stood in a large office, our hands tied to our back by handcuffs. A bald man was seated in front of us, just standing there. At our sides were the ones that brought us here: Aerith Gainsborough, Vaan Ratsbane, Zell Ditch and Freya Crescent. If I could guess as things were going, we were in front of Cid from Final Fantasy VIII.

All he did was stare at us, as if we were some sort of spies. Claire looked like she was about to cry. Kira had an annoyed look on her face as if to say ‘How the hell did I get in this mess?!’. Kyrie had a small frown on her face. I appeared blank and I really apprehend us being like the four Links.

Vaan looked a little nervous for some reason. Completely oblivious to me. Aerith was smiling at Claire, as if to calm her down. Only worked a little. Zell was grinning for what a great job he did catching us, I guess. Freya had blank face like mine but she shook her head at Zell as if to say ‘What an idiot...’.

“Do you know why you’re all here?” He finally spoke up as Kira opened her mouth to say something but Claire stopped her and the three of them turned to me. Well, looks like we’re playing follow the leader.

“No, sir. We haven’t the slight clue.” I said politely as he leaned in his chair. Thinking, maybe? I don’t know but these cold cuffs are giving me Goosebumps.

“May I ask why you were hiding in the Evil Forest?” He asked as we looked at each other. Evil Forest? Wasn’t that from Final Fantasy IX? I gazed back at him.

“Well, we were not hiding per say. Merely, veiling ourselves from other individuals we do not know.” I explained as Claire looked at me in awe. I guess I have a way with words in certain situations.

“But why were you in the Evil Forest in the first place?” Vaan blurted out, causing everyone to look at him. There was a silence and I turned to the Headmaster. He nodded, symbolizing me to answer the question.

“We were just hunters that were asked to take care of some monsters that were attacking a near by village.” Everyone but me raised their brows.

“Really?” Zell crossed his arms. “What’s you hunter name?”

“Well, we each have our distinctive name. I’m called Vio.” I smirked slightly as the three of them understood.

“They call me Blue.” Kira said from the side of me.

“Green.” Kyrie said, glancing at all of them.

“U-Um... I’m Red...” Claire said, shyly and I smiled at her.

“Together, we’re called ‘The Yontouryuu’.” I finished and frowned slightly. “Unfortunately... our swords broken in the process. We need to find a weapon so we were alerted when they came.” I gestured over to the four people around us.

“I see...” Cid muttered, rubbing his chin as I felt Zell glare at us. “If you are hunters, and you are not just lying, can you prove it to us?” We flinched slightly but nodded none the less. “Excellent!” He smiled and held down a red button, leaning towards it. “Quistis? Can you let Zack Fair and Cloud Strife in?”

“Yes, sir. Right away.” Was the response and we all looked at each other. The protagonists of Crisis Core and Final Fantasy VII? No way...

Two males walked in, as we thought. One had spiky black hair, with side bangs, and bluish violet eyes. He wore a SOLDIER uniform, just like in Crisis Core. He had the most optimistic face on. The man beside him, not as match cheery. He had short very spiky blonde hair and glowing sapphire eyes. He wore his same outfit in Advent Children.

“Okay then.” The Head Master started. “Cloud and Zack will escort you to the field. Vaan, Aerith, Freya and Zell; you may join then, if you’d like. That is all.” Everyone but the four of us saluted him and left the room.

And just as I thought... both Kira and Claire fainted on the spot.

I smacked my forehead with my palm as soon as we shut the door behind us while I shaking my head and Kyrie started to laugh loudly. Everyone was looking at us strangely as I tried to wake up Claire. Kyrie, over her fit of giggles, she started to slap Kira awake, which only caused a disaster.

“Oi! What the hell was that for, teme!?” The short haired woman snapped, as she jumped up and glared the eldest woman.

“It’s not my fault you fainted!” Kyrie teased as I swear I saw the anime ‘vein pop’ on Kira’s head.

“You wanna scrap?!”

“Damn straight!”

“OI!” I yelled at them and they ignored me as I sighed. “Excuse me.” I said to the people in front of us. “Shut up!”

“OW!”

“Son of a..”

“What the hell was that for?!” They yelled at me and I didn’t flinch but Claire hid behind me.

“Understand the situation we’re in, Buru. Greenu.” I sneered at to them to fault back. “We don’t know where we don’t know these people and do you really want to give off an appalling first impression, do you?” They shook their heads and I turned to the people in front of us. “Sorry about that.”

“Are you the leader?” Vaan said bluntly while Aerith smack him on the head. “Ow! It was just a question!” He whined, rubbing his injury.

“To answer your inquisitive mentality sir, I am the leader.” I told him as he flinched at the name I put him under. He scratched the back of his head as we walked closer to them, Kira and Kyrie holding their heads down.

“Um...” He started, as if he hadn’t a clue to what I said but I didn’t say anything. “You know... you don’t have to call me... ‘sir’. I’m Vaan.” He smiled at us. “It makes me feel old.”

“Just an excuse for not understanding what she said?” Zack laughed out as the younger male glared at him. Cloud shook his head as Aerith and Freya giggled. Though I think Freya was more of a chuckle. “I’m Zack! Nice to meet you.”

“I’m... Cloud.” The blonde said softly, not smiling at all. I wonder why? Zack and Aerith are still with him. I heard Kira’s and Claire’s gasp very lightly and Kyrie covered her mouth so she wouldn’t laugh.

“My name’s Aerith.” The ancient smiled at us, very warmly by the way. I always liked her. She very kind and loving. Her and Cloud are a cute couple. I wonder if they were...

“I’m Freya.” The Burmecian said from beside Aerith. I guess I should call her that, seeing it would be rude to call her a rat.

“Nice to meet you all.” I said as Zack raised a brow.

“Are you going to tell us your names?” He asked, crossing his arms as I smirked at him.

“You heard them in the office, didn’t you?” I retaliated as his eyes shined with pure amusement.

“You’re real names I mean.” He replied as Kira stood beside me, using my shoulder as an arm rest.

“What’s it to you?” She smirked. “I mean, we just had to show you our mad skills and we’ll be on our way.” Suddenly, Kyrie smacked Kira’s head, yelling about ‘No we aren’t!’ and they started to fight again, causing the four, minus Cloud, to laugh.

This is getting interesting every second.
