Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vincent nodded and walked over to the door, opening it quietly. "My thoughts exactly... President." He said more politely. He was very pleased to see that Rufus' intellect hadn't dulled in the slightest.

Yazoo twitched and awoke. He frowned and crossed quickly to the window, lying his fingers on the glass. He had a bad feeling... Some one was plotting and he had a large hunch it was that man. He sighed and rested his forehead against the cool, dusty surface. Why couldn't they be left alone?

((XD she's dead! he can be gay now.))

((Even if Cloud DID go completely gay, I think when this thing I ahve planned happens, It will still hurt him >>;; Yeah. It'll be sweet))

Unconciously, Loz stretched completely out on the couch in his brothers' absence. He shifted slightly, and made a loud snoring noise.

The next thing that could be heard was the sound of a large thud on the ground, and then the startled cry of the larger of the three, "Gah...Damnit..."

Loz had managed to roll himself right off of the couch and onto the floor in his sleep. He sat up and rubbed the back of his head, blinking. It was then that he noticed the other two remnants were missing. He looked around and spotted them by the window, before rubbing his eyes groggily.

((And I jumped on the bandwagon of changing colors x___X; Fear me ))

Cloud opened his eyes and looked around his room. It was still, dark out. what had woken him? Then he remembered. Aeris. She'd returned to plague his dreams and though, they were no longer trying to assure him there was no need to feel guilty, it felt as though something new was wrong. He frowned and got up, heading into the bathroom. Not bothering to turn on the light, Cloud leaned over the sink and splashed some cool water onto his face. What's wrong with me?

Yazoo pouted handsomely and glared lightly at his elder brother. "Only because I was worried for my dear sibling who just fell out of the bed." He replied, crossing his arms sullenly.

"You look troubled..." A light, feminine voice sounded behind Cloud.

A woman, dressed in pink took a seat on the edge of cloud's bed. No sound of bedsheets rustling, or bed springs creaking could be heard. The lady seemed to glow in the darkness of the small room.

"What's got you so troubled now? Don't tell me you're going to start dragging things around again." She said lightly with a radiant smile. Lightly, with the back of her hand, she pushed aside her light brown bangs.

Aeris placed a ghostly hand on Cloud's shoulder, though the touch could not be felt "You don't have to worry, Cloud." She said, smiling, "They aren't here to fight you, I know."

She stood up from the bed, kicking a foot out infront of her before turning to lean down so she was face to face with Cloud. "I know why they're really here. There's a scientist wh-"

But Aeris would never get the oppurtunity to finish what she had to say. She crouched down, and cried out in a pained voice, gripping her ears and shaking her head. "N-no...this...this isn't right!"

The area on her chest where she had been stabbed with Masamune began to bleed. Blood fell to the floor, and the ghost infront of cloud began to cough. Then, In the blink of an eye, Aeris and her blood had dissappeared...

-------------------------------------

On the outskirts of edge, in a tiny laboratory, green eyes blinked open. And for the first time in five years, she gasped for breath. Her mouth filled with water, or whatever the liquid was that was inside of the cylindrical glass tank she was in.

'This...it's not possible..." Her eyes washed over the room, everythng looked purple through the colored liquid. There were various tubes connected to her, providing the essentials for life.

It was then that she locked on to the pale gray eyes of the sceintist. "Well...I wasn't expecting you to return so quickly." She heard the man's muffled voice on the other side of the glass.

He pushed a button beside her tank, and the liquid began to drain out. "Now come, my darling. It's time for you to fulfil your purpose." He said as he opened the tank,a nd held a hand out to the woman.
