Healing the past. (Open)

(This thread is open to all but just don't do annoying short posts or be inactive or we'll just continue without you)

The rumbling of a motor bike echoed in the small town, as it grew closer there was no reactions, the village seemed dead before it almost burst into life as Cloud drove round the corner, pulling on his brakes and coming to a stop, he looked around noticing the town was empty before leaning the motorbike on its stand and stepping off. Cloud placed his goggles from his eyes onto his bike then removed the keys. The sand sent scattering into the air by the bike soon settled back to the ground.

"Mm... Long time no see." He said talking to the town. He didn't really know why he had came, he just wanted to see this old place again and to see Zack's resting place. He hadn't talked to Zack's parents but he felt that he had a duty to tell them how he died and how he was brave and how Cloud had failed him by letting him die.

Cloud clicked his knuckles before removing his gloves and also placing them on to his bike. He then tensed and stretched his muscles sending his arms in to the air before resting them by his side again. Cloud then began to walk forward up the hill in search for any life in this village but life seem to have fled when Shinra attacked the village.

"Is this a waste of time?" He asked himself as he wondered if they had deserted this old place.

(Sorry it may take me a while to get to big posting again... xD)

[Yazoo]

"Is this a waste of time?" Yazoo grinned as he heard that. The black leather clothed and silver-haired man came from behind a wall. He grinned and looked up to Cloud. The blond soldier which he called his brother. Kadaj called him the black sheep. But they all were sons from Jenova. They had been through a whole mess last time they met. Yazoo looked over the town. At least they hadn't emptied Edge like this town. He turned back to Cloud.

There were so many memories about what happened here, on Gaia. Yazoo and his two brothers, Loz and Kadaj, had caused many problems that time. In the end they all died. But now Yazoo had returned, same for his two brothers. Kadaj now seeking his own darkness, controlling and manipulating it, he still thought he was the leader of the three, but Yazoo had changed. Loz, crying as always, hadn't changed much, but he did dare to jump in between Kadaj and him. Stopping them. They had changed since they died. All seperated.

"Yo! Brother, how're you?" Yazoo said to Cloud with a smile. "Long time no see. Did you get the message from Reeve, Yuffie or Vincent?" Yazoo looked questioned at Cloud, wondering if he received his message, hoping he would get some reply. And the most important thing, wondering if Cloud would trust him.

[cloudshinra]

Cloud's eyes burst open from his daze, hearing a slow, deep familiar voice. 'He was dead? What? I killed him myself!' He quickly thought, the wind blew quickly forcing Clouds blond hair to raise and then fall back down in to its perfect shape. He quickly scanned around searching to find the man that once called him brother, a confused young boy tricked by the Jenova cells passed on through the life stream to kill everything in there way and bring back Sephiroth, tricked like he once was.

He glared at the young man, clenching his fists ready to withdraw his blade within seconds and send this boy back to the life stream. Thoughts began to cloud Cloud's head, confused that how he could of came back to life, did he also transfer like Zack did? 'Is he a remnant of my past?' He thought, keeping his lips sealed showing a frustrated face as the silver headed boy called him his brother. Before he began to ask questions about a message and mentioning his old friends, he hadn't talked to them in so long and was wondering more about what message they were going to give him.

"What message do you speak of!? And What are you doing alive!?" He roared in a confused temper.

Cloud began to think about it may be a clone created by the New Shinra. Whatever it may be Cloud wasn't happy.

[Yazoo]

Yazoo watched Cloud's movements, it seemed he was confused about him being here. Yazoo took it as he hadn't met the others yet, that he had been too busy with Sephiroth or something. Yazoo had no idea what Cloud had been doing when he died, nor what he had been doing when he returned. They both knew things the other didn't knew. Questions and questions. There were so many questions out there and they all brought confusion with them. Confusion is an enemy of men-kind. Yazoo's face became solid when Cloud seemed to take out his sword and throw him back to the Lifestream.

"What message do you speak of!? And What are you doing alive!?" Yazoo blinked surprised. So Cloud hadn't hear a single thing yet. Yazoo took up his hand to his chin and thought for a moment. Thinking about the battles and travels he had gone through. "My message... I spoke Reeve on a hill on some other world. I left him my phone-number so you could contact me when needed. I have no intentions to fight against you guys. I plan to create a new life."

A pause, Yazoo thought a second again. "I'm... sorry for what happened in the past, brother. And why am I alive? I do not know, but I think life is giving me another chance. I plan to use it well. I even met the king of 'light'. This King Mickey." Yazoo raised a hand. "Do you accept my offer to cooperate and fight against the darkness?" He smiled friendly.

[cloudshinra]

Cloud temper slowly calmed down as Yazoo wasn't being saracastic he seemed to have changed for the better but Cloud kept his stance, he didn't yet trust the boy. He began to listen to what Yazoo had to say and wondered if what he said was a lie or the truth. Could of the Jenova cells settled in his body like Cloud's. He looked at Yazoo's eyes noticing he still had the chemically green eyes.

"A new life...?" He mummbled as he began to think of his own life and how he could do with a new start to forget and forgive, maybe but Cloud just dismissed the idea and then almost chocked on Yazoo's last words. "I have no interests in fighting the darkness. So I doubt I will be needing your number." He said with a sturn face, sliding his legs together and letting his fists drop and then turning away from the young man.

"I'm not interested in your childish games." He mummbled downwards as he began to walk the other way from Yazoo, still searching for a new form of life and feeling that Yazoo was just a annoying destractions. Cloud was confused and this wasn't a position he liked to be in so he ignored it.

[Yazoo]

Yazoo noticed that Cloud seemed to calm down a little. He didn't feel like fighting another brother after Kadaj. He watched Cloud as he remained in his stance. "A new life...?" Yazoo nodded and he wondered if Cloud would accept him. But the words that came then shocked him. "I have no interests in fighting the darkness. So I doubt I will be needing your number." Yazoo blinked as Cloud turned away.

"W-what? What are you saying, brother? A-are you j-just gonna w-w-walk away." Yazoo stumbled all confused. "Sephiroth is also back! Same for Kadaj and Loz! A-and more people appeared. I-I even h-heard that... J-j-jen-... Je-Jenova h-has returned." Yazoo totally stumbled over Mother's name as he wasn't used to speak her name. "Would you just walk away? After everything that has happened in the past?"

Yazoo looked shocked at Cloud's back as the man walked away. "Brother... why?" He asked to no one in particular. Then he turned mad. "Why? First Sephiroth! He disgusts me! Then Kadaj allowed himself to get swallowed by darkness! I don't want this!" Yazoo slowly started to cry and ended up on his knees. "Why does my family turn against me?"

[cloudshinra]

Cloud stopped as he heard the news of Sephiroth and Kadaj, with Jenova finishing it off. His eyes peered open in interest but then his expression turned back to normal. He wondered why Yazoo was getting so upset about Cloud not being bothered about the darkness and etc. He heard that Sephiroth had come back but he wasn't willing to believe it until now. He cracked, Cloud's expression turned to a shock and all of a sudden it turned into anger.

"I will clean my mess up. Then I will... Clean myself up." Cloud's tone seemed almost evil, this wasn't something that had ever come out of his mouth before, his deepest fear had came true and he was terrified. He then quickly groaned and began to walk away slowly before stopping again and saying, "This is my fault... Leave this to me."

Cloud soon reached his bike and quickly leaped on it, reaching his gloves and sliding them on before saying, "and I am not your family... I have my own family."

[Yazoo]

Yazoo noticed that Cloud stopped, he slowly crawled a bit towards him, but then heard a voice that sounded evil. Cloud's own voice sounded evil, which surprised Yazoo. "I will clean my mess up. Then I will... Clean myself up." Yazoo looked now even more shocked than before. "B-brother?" Cloud groaned and walked slowly away and Yazoo tried to get back on his feet. He noticed that Cloud had stopped again. "This is my fault... Leave this to me." Yazoo blinked. This is bad!

Cloud reached his bike and Yazoo walked towards him. He prepaired to leave and then spoke again: "and I am not your family... I have my own family." Yazoo's expression changed to a bit of a mad one. "Brother! Unlike I, you have many people who give for you! They would be sad, cry and sob for you, if you'd disappear! You shouldn't do this." Yazoo stood suddenly in front of Cloud's bike. "It isn't your fault! Mo-... Jenova, Sephiroth, Kadaj, they all were not your fault. Everyone has returned. Let's go home. Don't act foolish, bro-... Cloud. Everyone's missing you. People care about you, you shouldn't do this. It isn't your fault." Yazoo stayed in front of Cloud's bike with the same expression.

[cloudshinra]

Yazoo began to get on Cloud's nerves, Cloud felt responsiable for Sephiroth, Kadaj, Loz and Jenova's return. Sephiroth had returned once already, he was the darkness in his heart and now the hole seemed to be getting deeper people, remnants of his past seeping through in to reality.

Cloud began to rev the engine as it burst into a loud bang and then a large growl, smoke began to escape from the exhuast pipes, he reved again making the noice louder, trying to block out what Yazoo was saying. He then realised he could barely take out Sephiroth with his friends by his side never mind taking on Jenova, Kadaj and Sephiroth all by himself.

"Are you going to jump on then?" He moaned not pleased that he had invited him in to his party but he had no chose. He would have to gather his friends he will need everyone, he will need Avalanche.

"I will need the others help as well. This time no one is going to die... I will not fail." He whispered to himself. As he began to rev the engine quicker and louder, ready to blast off in to the distance. He would have to pay his dues later.

[Yazoo]

Cloud just seemed to make more noise to get rid of his words. Yazoo felt strange to speak this much and to speak about this. He never expected to try and get Cloud to get his friends to help him. He'd earlier say: Have fun! I hope you have a great time in hel. Kadaj was right, he really changed. Yazoo noticed Cloud changed again. "Are you going to jump on then?" Yazoo blinked surprised, but nodded then. He walked to him and came on the bike as well.

Yazoo noticed Cloud whispered to himself and Yazoo hoped it wasn't a bad thing. Like throwing him off in some valley somewhere or something else. Yazoo looked over the place again to register it into his mind. He needed to get back there later. The engine suddenly got louder and quicker. Yazoo expected that Cloud would leave any second now and grinned. "Sorry about all this."

[cloudshinra]

The bike leapt off the groad speeding up on to a wheelie and then back down to the ground hard, making Cloud jump slightly. He quickly flew off into the distance sending the sand and dust flying behind him. His hair blew wildly in the wind and so did his jacket.

When Yazoo appoligized he quickly sent the bike harder and faster forward ignoring him, Cloud didn't feel that it was his fault but he couldn't forgive what he had done in the past but being Cloud he kept this all bottled up in his head.

He decided he would go Gaia first try and get Tifa to help him.
