Sion collected Clouds fixed sword, his newly modified sword, and the sword Yuffie had let him use. He came back out and set them in the side car, as well as grabbed a few other things. He headed a different route, completely avoiding everyone, including Cloud and the others. HE arrived at the compound again, and entered. He checked in on Yuffie and gave her the sword, as well as told her to get her stuff ready. He came back a bit a nd opened the door to Vincents room. "Are you going to give them some more time? Or do you want to leave now?"

He turned to Sin. "Not yet. Shelke's modifications were... a bit more extensive than you might realize."
Shelke stood quietly behind him. "Besides... before we leave, it might be in our interests to keep an eye on that child." Her energy swords were in hand.

Cloud paid a few gil to the shopkeeper to look out for Tifa and the others. "Well... I'm going to go collect the Final. After that..." He felt torturously uncomfortable with all this. He stiffened slightly. "We don't know quite what to expect here. It should be easy, but..."
"But it never is," she said quietly.
He hesitated. "I won't be long this time." He took a deep breath. "I'll miss you."
Ami watched from a safe distance as Tifa stood there, head down, and waited to see how she would react...
(Tifa should take over from here...)

Sin nodded. "Alright. I will leave Cloud's sword here, mine is much easier to use than before." He leaned Cloud's sword against the wall, and took his own up. It was roughly a head shorter than Sin was, with a pale blue color to the blade. Two dragons were intertwined on the blade, as well as on the guard. It curved slightly, coming into a defined tip. The back was serrated until about a foot in the middle of the blade, where a grip was where Sin could fit his hand through, and brace the blade when defending, or if the hilt broke, a double bladed weapon. He had the blade perfectly even, the metal in the hilt a perfect copy of the top of the blade. The hilt was a deep brown, with red and purple cloth entwining it, coming about half a foot off of the end of the hilt, where a large Onyx symbol for Sin was. The sheath was a pale blue matching the blade, with red symbols going down the sides. 'Hell is divided into eight tiers. The first tier is for the nonbelievers. The second tier is for the unfaithful. Tier three is for those who are unready. Tier four is the violent ones. Tier five is for those of another faith. Tier six is for those who commit sin. Tier seven is for Lucifer's allies and pawns. Tier eight is or me, and me alone.' He re-sheathed the blade, and set it next two the blade Yuffie had lent him, both sideways on the tabletop. He removed and altered a few of his new outfit, as well as removed his chest armor and leg armors, which were designed to protect and inhibit movement. It left him in his black shirt and most of the costume. "Yuffie, can you get me some different color hair dyes, as well as different face paints and some time with the costumes?"

"Hmm..." Yuffie pretended to be thinking about it. "Gimme five bucks first!"
Shelke entered the room. "I have a question, Sin. Cloud just left to get his sword. Yet his sword his here. This leads me to believe he thinks it's still at the swordsmith's shop. This could prove problematic." Without waiting for him to reply, she continued. "I've already planned for that contingency. Vincent has just contacted him via his cellular telephone."
****
Cloud sighed a very heavy sigh as he hung up the phone. "That kid..."
Tifa looked up at him. "It's OK," she said quietly. "We'll be all right here." She gave him a very tiny smile.
He found it impossible to keep his head upright and stared at the ground instead. "I'm so sorry... Wha--?!"
Tifa had suddenly hugged him. "Please... come back safe..."
"You're not... Tifa, are you crying?"
"Of course not! Idiot..." She sniffed and backed away. "But don't think I'll let you off that easy! You still get a lecture when you get back!"
He hesitated... then he smiled at her. "Right." He turned and headed back to the truck. "The idea sends me into agonies of suspense."
Ami stifled a small giggle, dried her eyes, and snuck out of the bushes back to the tailgate.
She made it back just after Cloud had gotten into the truck. "Where'd you go, kid?"
She shrugged nonchalantly. "Just stretching my legs."
The kids watched, hand in hand, as they drove away. "So you think they're done fighting yet, Marlene?"
"You really don't know about girls much, do you?"
"You're a girl! We've been hanging around together for two years!"
"Boys only see what girls want them to know, silly."
((OK, NOW Tifa should take over...))
****
Yuffie idled outside the dressing room, tapping her boot on the floor restlessly. "You almost done in there?!"

"Give me a few more minutes, I am almost done." Sin had finished a while ago, but he was focusing on his transformed body, trying to change it. He let out a low moan, as his body started to ripple. He growled, his claws digging into the sink. He let out a yell, and fell to his knees as his transformed limbs slowly reverted to human. He laid there panting, and slowly hauled himself back up to the sink. He washed his face, and started cutting his hair. He put in some dyes, and ended up looking vastly different, with short silver hair, and a black set of clothes. He came out panting, and looked around at the others.  |

Yuffie gaped. "Wow..."
Cloud gave Sin an incredulous look. "And the winner of the lookalike competition is..."
Ami hopped off the table she'd been sitting on. "Just what I was thinking. Maybe you're taking this whole brother thing a little bit TOO far..." She giggled and hugged him. "Not that I mind, though."
"That's my line," Shelke said flatly, bringing Cloud his sword. "I've already had it balance and impact tested."
He took it, looked it over, and sheathed it. "Thanks."
"You're welcome. I was beginning to feel bored, anyway."
Ami pulled back. "This new look might just make things easier for you down along the line, anyway..." She tailed off as she noticed Cloud staring at her. "Anyway! Onward?"
Cloud shrugged and headed towards the door.
Ami let him get out of earshot. "I knew he was in a hurry to leave but... I'd hoped I'd at least get to say goodbye one more time..."
She had entered the sick room earlier, only to find Vincent already gone, the Cerberus also missing, and the bed made as if he'd never been in it at all.
Shelke nodded. "He said he felt it was imperative to make progress as soon as possible."
"You're not upset that he's gone again?"
"I'm certain he could not have traveled far. He has no real means of leaving the island. He'll return."
"Then tell him..." Ami paused.
"Tell him what?"
"Never mind, don't tell him anything." She gave Sin one more grin. "See you around, friend." She shook hands with him and headed out to the truck.
As it rolled out, a dark form hung in the limbs of the tree above it, a metallic hand clutching a large rifle.
You're right, Ami... you can't go more than a few minutes without doing something stupid... which is why I have no intentions of leaving this to chance.
Vincent discreetly followed along behind through the woods. He'd left it up to Yuffie, Shelke, and Sin as to whether they cared to follow him or not...
****
Cloud couldn't help noticing Ami and her brothers spoke only in monosyllables as they picked them up on their way up to the mountain. Bad, bad time to pick a fight with Kadaj, Ami... whatever. He can have an attitude all he likes. We don't need his help.
The ride to the mountain base was silent and tense. Matters didn't get any better when they were finally forced to get out and climb...
((To Wutai Mountain))

Oh, I see.. I thought she was at the tree my bad.]]
Sin headed outside of the building, and decided to play around with controllling these transformations, make them easier, since the bathrrom incident was still hurt him.

Yuffie watched with gape-eyed curiosity for a few moments. She managed to shake herself out of it and tapped his shoulder insistently. "Hey! Aren't we gonna go help Vincent? What are we doing just standing here?"

Sin said nothing, to heavily intent on what he was doing. Finally he removed his jacket, and tried again.

She did a bit of a double take at his shirtless bod, but quickly recovered. "Hey! I'm talkin' to you!" She tapped his shoulder more insistently. "C'mon! Shelke already took off without us! We're gonna miss everything!"

"Vincent is still close by, as a matter of fact from here you can see moonlight reflecting off the barrel on his gun." He told her, pointing to the retreating form on Vincent, just barely visible. He sighed and followed after Vincent, promising himself he would try again later to do what he did in the bathroom.

She followed after him. "Uhhhhh..." Yuffie was blushing. "Aren't you gonna put your shirt on? I mean, heck, it is freezing out here."

This isn't cold, and when we stop I am going to take it off and retry what I was doing before you inturrupted me." HE jumped up into a tree, and looked closely at the mountain, where he could just barely see the truck moving. He dropped down and sighed. "They are heading into the mountains. Come one, or we won't catch them until dawn.

Kidd grinned as he stepped out of the store pulling on his gloves. He looked around as he finished wrapping the scarf around his mouth. Okay, so the battle has started. He took in a deep breath closing his eyes. He could picture his allies in battle losing steadidly. He chuckled as he slowly opened his green eyes. Like that would ever happen. He suddenly took off in the direction of the mountain as the morning sun rose.
