Threat level(CALLING ALL FF7 CHARACTERS!!!)

(So, here it is! Looking forward to getting this story going! XD)

"The gift of the goddess." The words were softly spoken, and yet reverberated greatly within his mind. He knew that the gift was something that Genesis had pursued with an uneven passion, and had paid for it by losing everything that he had ever possessed. And yet, the pursuit of immortality, or rather, the "S" cells that seemed to produce the image of life that never was quenched, was still very active.

He just knew it.
Why else would he be hunted like this?

Angeal looked down at the three men who had seemingly come out of nowhere to try and attack him, paying a heavy price for their underhanded tactics by being completely knocked out(He still had his combat skills). Their uniforms did not betray who they worked for, but there was a small "s" emblazoned on the chest plate of each.

That didn't help much, but Angeal had a few ideas.

Ever since his return to Gaia, and more specifically, Midgar, he had constantly felt that things had shifted to an even darker overtone than the one that had been in Midgar before Shinra's downfall(Angeal was not surprised by this: Shinra's exploitation of life force had to become their demise). Even though the happiness of Midgar's population at the death of Shinra could not swallow up the fact that something was coming to this world, something dark, something that had to be stopped.

Was he granted physical life again by the Stream in order to stop this by himself?

No. He knew he needed help.
He also knew that other souls had been given up by the Lifestream for this purpose as well.
No, there wasn't definite evidence of his theory, but Angeal could just feel it.
And his feelings were usually never wrong.

Angeal looked towards Midgar, he himself being on the outskirts of the city(that's where he had gotten dropped), now determined to find those who would combat the threat. He began to walk...

[Tifa Lockhart]

The world has truly changed. A lot have things have happened thus far and now they were here. The balance of the universe seemed corrupted and the world was on the verge of destruction as darkness was slowly taking control. Only few noticed this however and Tifa was one.

What was happening did worry her. Tifa was finally back home and she didn’t with to lose Gaia not to the darkness. She sighed placing a few plates to dry as she glanced at her gloves.

Did that mean that there was another fight waiting for them and would they face him again… Sephiroth? Just the thought frightened her but Tifa knew that she couldn’t run away now.

Tifa grabbed her gloves and placed them in her pocket before walking out of the bar and closing the door. What was the first step she needed to take? She had to find her friends or anyone who was willing to fight the darkness to save Gaia.

[Cloud Strife]

Cloud was worried now about the Life Stream...And the worlds being connected with it. Cloud was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that he and Tifa were finally together....He was worried about the current situation with the Life Stream.....Every morning now, he would be on the roof top of the bar. He knew now that Tifa was awake. He just sighs as he looked up at the sky. It was a beautiful sky today. But he knew it was not like that down here. What would happen if he had to fight....? What would happen if he and Tifa were torn apart because of this....? Alot more questions raced in his mind....

Cloud still has not seen any one yet that has possible crossed out of the Life Stream....Cloud remained by Tifa's side....He was scared....That some thing would happen to her and he was not there to protect her as he promised.....Tifa would know where he was.....Tifa knows Cloud inside and out....So she would know what was bothering him lately.....The problems.....Shinra falling....And the Life Stream.....Cloud looked at his cup of coffee not drinking it.....He was too worried to care about his own nutrition....Which was not good.....

[Aerith Gainsborough]

Aerith had been praying for this day....She knew it was the day...That she would need to go to 7th Heaven.....And let her friends know that she was back....She wanted to see Cloud and Tifa more than any one else right now....She was already with Zack....He was back....And she was happy....But with Shinra falling and all that has happened with the Life Stream, Aerith knew that Cloud & Tifa would probably already know about it....

Aerith took a train to the area that 7th Heaven was located in....She sat in her seat on the train, thinking....Thinking.....on what she would say once she saw her friends...She knew they were both alive and well....And that was good....

Finally, the train had stopped....All the passengers including her, got off....She carried a basket of flowers with her.....Just in case for making extra dough....She knew that she and Zack need some gil in their pocket.....As much as she knew, Zack hadn't gotten a job for himself yet....But she was loving life....Alot more now....She was living for the day....

Finally, she turned the corner on the side walk. And saw the bar....She walks up to it's front door....And knocks.....But she also takes a deep breath.....

[Sephiroth]

Midgar has changed, it's been a while since Sephiroth took a look at the town. He never did like Midgar, he preferred the forest, even tough it was crawling with all sorts of bugs and monsters, but they were never a problem for Sephiroth, only a glimpse of him would make any monster run from him. Why? Because he was the biggest monster around...
On top of a hill on the outskirts of the city, Sephiroth watched the city has it moved, people wandering around, joyfully talking and walking, living they're pathetic lives, probably unaware what was happening through out the world... Sephiroth wasn't a part of what was happen, frankly he didn't even care and had no intention of helping it. He had only one goal in his life... Defeat Cloud. HE didn't even know why, he felt like he needed to and every time he did so, he felt alive! It kind of reminded when he battle his only two friends... Genesis and Angeal...
Humph... Pathetic... I feel sick just by witnessing it... Living they're lives, oblivious to what's happening around them..., Sephiroth stood tall on the hill, the fallen hero, the one winged angel. He was wearing his usual garments, his sword Masamune on his hand and his dark wing withdrawn to his shoulder.
I wander what Cloud is doing now... Well I could always pay him a visit..., Sephiroth grinned, his black wing stretching and flapping, making his body go upward. He swore through the plain until he noticed something moving, a familiar figure between the rocky hills. He stopped in mid-air and went walking to where he saw the figure.
When he finally caught a glimpse of him he finally saw who it was... He opened his cat like green eyes... It was Angeal, but how?! Angeal was supposed to be dead!
With a small grin between his lips he said It's been a while... Angeal..., Sephiroth stood there fencing his old friend.

[Vincent Valentine]

In a dark corner a small red mass twirled, all before merging up into a fairly tall figure of a man. Lifting his head, Vincent turned, seeing that the only witness to this was a small cat. His gaze met those green eyes, the image of Sephiroth popping into his mind. It was an image that Vincent knew he wouldn’t forget, a monster of a man, made in similar ways to himself, yet in a league of his own. He continued to stare at the small creature until the moment a small girl came towards it, picking the cat up before looking at Vincent wide eyed. He was used to this, people looking at him like that, with that fear.

“Girl… is Seventh Heaven around here?” He nodded softly as she pointed, moving in the direction. He’d noticed the evil spreading around in Midgar a while ago, having seen the changes in the life stream, changes in the way Lucrecia’s own location had changed…. and these changes worried him. And that, was why he was here, looking for the only people he could actually depend on when he needed to. He knew he wouldn’t count as the best type of friend, he was far too distant for that, but he was one that could be depended on, and he knew that Cloud and Tifa were just the people he needed at a time like this.

He needed information, any type and his first source made no sense to him at all, ‘theres a darkness coming… it wants to swallow your world’ … rantings of an old man or truth?

He continued walking, ignoring the odd looks that came his way, the parents pulling their children from his path. It was just another day in Vincent’s life. He moved down another ally, having to ask once more for directions. It wasn’t that he’d never seen the bar, he had, he’d even been there a few times, but he couldn’t find it in himself to remember how to get their by foot. And if that old man had in fact, been right about this…darkness… he needed to know if Cloud knew.

After a few more moments of walking, Vincent sighed, giving up on the walk to the bar. Moving into another ally, Vincent pulled his cloak around him as he jumped; moving from roof to roof, almost bat like, until he saw the roof that belonged to the bar. Pausing for a moment, his head tilted, seeing the younger human male looking out over the town. In two clean leaps, Vincent landed on the roof top of the bar. Licking his lips as he lifted his body up straight, looking over the male as he took in his friend posture. Vincents own betrayed him slightly, it was easy to tell that he was worried, but looking into his eyes, over his facial features, it seemed as though nothing was wrong.

“Seems it wasn’t just me than that noticed it…” he moved towards Cloud, looking out over the town of Midgar. He’d never liked places like this… too many people; he liked the isolation that came with his home in the forests

“Does the woman… Tifa know?”
