Violent Legacy

A Final Fantasy 7 fanfiction by MoJo

It had been many months since the planet had been saved. Those known as AVALANCHE had been scattered through the winds of the planet. Here, a tale of how they were brought together once more in an effort to restore the balance to the planet.

Chapter One

I can�t stand this much longer�I can�t breathe; it�s so dark�there is no way out��

�Dr� the target it heading into the north east, shall we proceed in her recapture?�
�Find her. She will be our ultimate weapon against them��

�Look Cloud, all I'm saying is that, we should think about what we plan to do next in our lives...there is no Shinra or Sephiroth to fight against anymore�� Tifa spoke as she gently placed her glass back on the table.
� I suppose so.� Cloud shrugged before taking a sip of his beer.
�Cloud, are you even listening to a word I�m saying?� She replied with a sign of anger in her voice.
A loud crash came from the entrance of the bar; a young woman struggled to her feet, wearing a hospital overall that was dripping with blood. She tried again to get up but appeared not to have the strength. Everyone stared at the girl, lying on the floor. A man tried to help her �Are you ok miss?� she stared at his hand and proceeded to knock it away. �Get away from me.� she then managed to scramble to her knees, before bending over again and letting out several violent coughs full of blood.
�Cloud�look� Both Tifa and a disorientated Cloud looked at the girl crouched on the floor. �I�m going to try and see if I can help her.� she placed her hand on clouds before walking away in the direction of the miserable heap on the floor still spewing blood.
�Tifa! She could have some sort of disease�you saw what she did when that man tried to help her, it�s none of our business.�
Tifa approached the girl who was attempting once more to stand on her two feet. �Hey�umm�Are you sure you don�t need any help?
�I said fu�� the girl whose short black hair was pasted against her sweating skin stopped in her tracks as she saw Tifa�s face, staring at her with vibrant shining jade eyes �You�I�ve seen you somewhere�where, have I�� At this last faint word the bar doors were slammed open once more and three men all dressed in dark suits appeared and lurched in the doorway. The girl looked at them from the ground.
�You thought that by coming in here�with all these people we wouldn�t try and capture you�we don�t care about casualties�we�re not paid to care.�
The girl wiped her bloody mouth and flicked the remaining droplets in the direction of the three men.
�Come quietly, or we�ll make the pain a whole lot worse.� They all smirked.
�Now hold on just a minute, this girl is ill, who are you? You have no right to take her against her will!� Tifa stepped out in front of the girl whom now stood towering behind her.
�It�s ok�I�ll go with them�quietly�I wouldn�t want to cause a scene� with this she stepped out from behind Tifa and headed towards the three men. She began to cough again violently and leant forward on the first of the three men.
�Coughing will get you no sympathy from me��
The girl then stopped coughing, then there was a sudden crunch, the man the girl was leaning on became limp and lifeless. �I told you to leave be alone�and look what happened�. you didn�t listen to well.� The girl eyes then moved up to her victims face, she moved back slightly, grinning as she did so reviling two sharp fangs. �What the�� cloud ran towards the scene.
She then stepped back revealing a metallic curved blade that she had just removed from under her clothes. She raised the man in the air, still on the end on her of the blade, spitting into his face she threw him into the other men and ran out of the bar into the night.
Cloud came on Tifa�s side as the remaining men tried to get up in front of a very shocked and bewildered crowd. �If Cid was here there would have been a whole lot of cursing going on.� Cloud retorted. Tifa still shocked, looked at Cloud disapprovingly and proceeded to walk towards the two remaining men.
�Who are you people and why were you chasing that girl?�
�It�s none of your damned business Lady, she�s dangerous and we are trying to catch her that�s all you need to know, you saw what she did to our man� The man turn around and headed out of the bar, helping his limping college through the door. �If I was you, I would steer clear of her, you never know what she�ll do next� with that they left.
�Tifa, come on there�s nothing we can do now Tifa, lets just go home�
�Cloud, don�t you think it�s odd?�
�What�s odd?�
�She said she recognised me, but she couldn�t remember from where. I�ve never seen her before. She had these amazingly bright green eyes�like she�d been exposed to mako energy�like you were Cloud.�
�She said she knew you�� Cloud pondered on that thought as they both proceeded to walk out from the bar towards their home. The night air had a slight chill to it and Tifa began to shiver, just as Cloud was about to unlock the door, she stepped out from the shadows.
�You said you would like to help me� she coughed gently �Well can you help me? Shelter me for a while until I am able to *cough, cough*�
Cloud and Tifa were shocked by the sudden appearance, �You expect us to help you after you just maimed that guy?�
�So your telling me you have never killed in self defence before?� she retorted as she gasped for air leaning against a wall
�No�� The girl interrupted Cloud, as she stepped forward close to him and spoke� �I have seen you as well�somewhere�� She coughed violently again and fell to the floor. �Oh god, Cloud! Help me get her inside!�
�Tifa you can�t be serious��
�Just do it Cloud!�

�Where am I�my head�I can�t rem�� she gently opened her now pale green eyes and looked upon the faces of not two, but three blurry figures standing above her.
�So what do you think?� Cloud asked as the man stared at him emotionless.
�Vincent, I�m surprised Cloud managed to find you so quickly�. I didn�t think the��. He looks at Tifa, and then at the girl lying on the bed. She began to speak and lunge to escape from the room. Tifa grabbed her before she fell to the ground the girl the raised her hand to her head in obvious pain.
�Who are you trying to run from?� Tifa asked
She squinted at the light coming in from the partly obscured window �I haven�t never seen�*cough* I only remember certain things, a light and an unfamiliar ceiling over my head, and the darkness�*cough* I had to escaped before�� she stopped suddenly. � I can�t understand why I recognise your faces�I�ve never met you!� the girl spouted in anger at her self. Vincent stared at her but made no reply.
�None of us have seen you before, my name is Tifa, this is Cloud and this is Vincent, what is your name?� She placed a wet towel on the girl�s forehead.
��My name is�Heion...�
�I find it hard to believe you recognise us and don�t know who we are�did someone send you to here�� Cloud suddenly spoke. Vincent still kept his eyes fix on the figure in the bed who returned his gaze and without flinching replied to Cloud � I told you what I know, as you can see I�m not in a fit shape to kill you, if that is what you are implying. At any rate�IF I was going to kill you I would have done it by now�and If that�s the way you feel maybe I shouldn�t have come to you for help.�
Tifa gave a dissatisfied look at Cloud. �Ignore Cloud, he�s always so callous.�
�I�m sorry.� Cloud sighed with a tone of resentment in his voice.
�Apology accepted�I suppose *cough, cough*� Heion wheezed as trickles of blood passed from her lips onto the ruffled blanket below. Tifa quickly gave her a cloth to prevent any blood reaching the bedding. �We really should send for a doctor, this looks pretty serious. How long have you been like this?�
�For a while *cough*�� She placed the tissue over her mouth with her quivering hand, muffling her reply which could now barely be heard ��maybe two weeks, very since that last injection, I haven�t been able to stop the bleeding�*cough* I�m surprised I�m not dead already� With this she let out a weak laugh, before passing out and drifting into a deep sleep. Tifa placed her palm on Heion�s damp and sweaty brow, �Well at least maybe when she has had some sleep it will revive her energy.� She turned to Vincent and Cloud �I�ll call the doctor, Vincent can you watch over Heion?�
�I�ll go out and get us some dinner� Cloud shouted as he made his way to the door obviously disapproving of letting a stranger into his home.
�Tifa, Cloud�s suspicions maybe correct; we have no idea where this girl has come from. I think we should be very cautious in our actions.�
Tifa gave a reluctant nodded towards Vincent. �I suppose you are right�But��
�I found this outside� He showed Tifa the bloody curved blade which Heion had slashed the man with, �I take it this was her weapon?� Vincent remarked in a low voice as he took a seat beside the bed, but before she was able to verbally reply, Vincent spoke yet again. �Also, I do not think it is wise to ring the doctor,� Vincent looked down at his claw and the back over to Heion. �This girl has been experimented on, a doctor may ask questions we cannot answer�I will watch her for now, when Cloud returns I shall go and retrieve some remedy which may ease her pain��
Tifa looked sorrowfully towards Vincent and then Heion, and nodded yet again in agreement.

�Doctor, how should we proceed?� A man in a dark-blue suit murmured, as he reloaded his gun. The room was dimly lit apart from a small area where the doctor was working which had data sheets sprawled all over the floor and desk.
��I need to continue by research into the project�s interesting genetic make-up to further my knowledge of how it can be controlled�� The doctor answered obliviously continuing to look into his microscope.
�Yes�but shouldn�t we have a plan on how to retrieve Heion?�
�Do you think me a fool?� The man in blue shook his head. �Then why ask such an unintelligent question�While you fools were scurrying around, I had already implanted a chip, which will lead us right to our pet. So there is no need to worry your empty head over a plan. You just find her and catch her�alive preferably��
