Once they had entered the realm, he dispersed the portal and was still holding her hand when he was taken aback by her opinion of the place. He had only just constructed it moments ago and though it was an effortless task he suddenly took great pride in his creation. "Thank you very much, Rhapsody. I am flattered by your approval." He smiled at her and his surroundings as he motioned with his free hand that the door to their left would be her room and the door opposite hers was his. "If you require anything, please do not hesitate to ask for assistance. I shall be across from you. However due to the nature of the world around us, I can only have portals open for a short time. I do not wish for my adversaries to be able to find me as of yet. So please use this as a means of exitting through the gates." Serge handed her a blank card that was magically sealed to allow her entry and exit from the realm any time she pleased. Howver the cards magic was limited to only a few uses, but he did not bother to infom her of that yet. It could wait for another day.

Rhapsody smiled, still looking around the room. When he spoke she nodded indicating that she had heard him and then walked slowly around the room, taking in everything. She looked at his door, then at hers. She then walked back and accepted the card. "Thank you very much Serge, I owe you a great deal." She said softly as she curtsied and then slowly made her way to her room, her hips still swaying from side to side sensually. She entered her room and barely made it to the bed before falling asleep in full clothing.

Ignoring the rude words of Reno, Vincent allowed a small smile to turn the corner of his lips as Aerith embraced him. He put his un-gauntleted arm around her to return her hug. "It is good to see you well, Aerith."
As Elena spoke Vincent shot her a quick glance; he had not been thourough with his assessment of the situation, taken aback as he was with the sight of Aerith.
The storm had ended, the city seemed silent, dead. There would be many injured and left homeless.That was not his concenr though, he had come back to find the truth of the rumours.
Cid Highwind stood in the centre of Rocket Town, his whoop of joy echoing round the empty town. Finally, the storm was over and he could get back into the skies.
Gradually people began ermerging from thier homes, calling to each other and the Captain. Supplies would be needed to fix the town up again; that would be his main task for the next few weeks.
"Right then boys; get yourselves back in the ship, we'll be takin' off for Corel soon's you got her engines warm!"
A unanimous cry of "Yes Sir!" erupted from all areas of the town. His crew, the best airmen in the world (well, they had been trained by Cid Highwind himself!), jumped to follow thier captain's orders.
Cid gave his wife, Shera, a tight, rough hug and ascended the rope ladder into the airship he had named after her. Within moments the great ship was in the air, whipping the dark clouds in thier wake. Cid stood on the deck, leaving the pilotting to his crew. He loved to just stand and watch the sky as his beautiful ship passed through it; it cleared his head, helped him to think.
Corel would be a pit stop more than anything. Timber, stone, fuel, food. Rocket Town had not faired well in the storms. Cid pulled a battered phone from his jacket pocket and dialed Barrett; he would be the best man to call, he had contacts now.
There was no response; maybe he was busy, or the storm had dameged the relays. Perhaps Cloud would be able to point him in the right direction. He dialed again, this time the blonde boys number. If that failed, well Vincent had been travelling, he could probably help with finding suppliers.

After a few moments, Aerith let him go. Though she was glad he had returned her hug. Vincent had probably the most pure heart of all the group, Through his harsh past, and everything the man had gone through, he still had something nothing would ever take from him, that was his heart. The young women smiled softy, How long had it been? She almost wanted to hug him again just because. She wasnt jumping up and down of happyness, but Aerith was a little more mature then that! Her happyness showed within those pure emerald green eyes of hers. "Thank you, Vincent..I'm so glad..to see you.If I only knew where you were, I would of come see you so much earyer.." She tilted her head to the side a little, watching him. " How have you been? I hope you plan to stay for a while..We all need to catch up...after all the time.."
She paused, glanceing about the church at the few people that were still inside. Then, looked off toward the doors. She realized the storm had passed away moments before, but..With Vincent suddenly showing up, it distracted her thoughts from it all for that brief time. "..Oh..We should go out and help the others..I hope everyone found a safe place to stay during that scare.." She really didn't have any idea how much damage was caused, seeing as she was inside the church the intire time during the storm...

"....How did I end up getting lost?" Sephriea sighed. She was getting ever so annoyed. She just did a massive circle, and ended up in the same area she left from! " I want to rest....." She glanced around, tech, if any monsters wanted to show up, who the heck cared? She would play with them. She stopped just then, and dropped to the ground,where she just sat there in the middle of no where.After a few seconds passed,she laid back into the grassy fields muttering something.Tucking her hands behind her head the young girl stared up at the sky as everything was beginning to become more of a normal sunny day,the process was slow, but it was clearing. Turning slightly toward the left, she eyed a particular object in the skies. It was small, seeing as it was quite high in the air, but it was obviously an airship.She had heard from Aerith about some guy named Cid Highwind, who piloted his beloved airship. That thing was probably the second most important thing to him besides his wife, Shera. "Heh....I doubt they would see me. Or give me a lift, for that matter." Giggling softly, she had a sudden image of Cid freaking out about someone who looked like Sephiroth, she wasn't really even sure he knew that that father of hers was around, and 'good'.Hopefully she could be there to see what that scene would turn out like.
(( Would be your choice if you want them to see, if not, continue on with what you were planning on doing. I'm just being random for now.Don't know what to do,really.By the way, I like how you play Cid.))

Vincent did not want her to go out right now, he had questions and concerns."I saw no one risking the storm, those that stayed in buildings should have been safe."
He stepped back from the Flower Girl, folding his arms over his chest. He looked to the stranger, his dark red eyes hidden beneath his windswept inky hair. "You have made new friends whilst I have been travelling the world."
The phone rang, but no one seemed to be picking up. Typical, damn boy never picked up, even when Tifa called him!. Well it could wait, maybe the punk would call him back. He dropped his phone back into his jacket pocket before pulling a cigarette from the crumpled packet.
He leaned over the railings, watching the world spin by below him, a thin whisp of smoke floating about his head before being whipped into the stratosphere. The world was quite beautiful form this height; the filth, decay and damage disappeared in the distance.
As he stared down at the land he spotted a loan figure, almost indistinguishable in the long grass except for one tiny detail; even from so high up Cid could see the glint of silvery hair. In a cursing frenzy the Captain found a pair of binoculars, calling for his pilot to turn around and bring the ship into a hover.
He saw, through the distortions of the glass, long metalic hair, sharp green eyes and black as death clothing... Sephiroth?! What in hell was going on?! Was the storm something to do with that vile, insane man?

Aerith had paused for a moment, before she could head on the way to the door, Vincent had spoken up once more. She turned into his direction again,then took another glance toward the doorway. It seemed as though she was unsure what she should do. Check, just incase, or stay, and speak with the man she hadn't seen in so many years? Letting those deep emerald green orbs rest back onto Vincents own crimson ones,she spoke again. "Really? I hope you're right.." The young women stayed there,dangleing a small flower in her hand in which she had picked earlyer.
"A lot has gone on since I've...been able to return, I did meet a lot of new friends,though! I hope you dont mind, But I really would love for you to meet everyone." She looked at him ceriously, as though detecting a small bit of suspition in his voice. That or he didn't trust them yet?"
Meanwhile, back elsewhere in the world, Sephriea slowly sat up from where she was resting on the ground. She never did take her eyes off that airship, and the thoughts that came to her mind, all the things she could do, well, they were just tempting her.But as it was, it might not of been a good idea to scare them at anytime.She did however, wonder if that pilot she heard so much about had spotted her yet.She brought up a hand, and put it just over her eyes so that she could get a better view, and block out the blazeing sun. "...Hmm..See me yet? What is he doing..I wonder...Freaking out? " Sighing, she brought back her hand, if only she could see!

Serge knelt to one knee and bowed his head as Rhapsody turned and left. Once she was through the door to her room, he smiled and stood. Brushing the hair from his eyes he walked to the door opposite hers and opened it. Once through, he closed the door and changed his body through sublimation into a water form that filled a crystalline bath within the room. Laying within the bath, he thought about the things he had just done, and what was next.
Reno, just tapped the back of his shoulders with his shock stick as Vincent ignored him. 'Whatever', he thought to himself before realizing he had not seen Rude all day. He knew that he was up to something but he wanted to make sure that he was okay, otherwise he would have to go bail him out. Sliding his free hand into his pocket, he pulled out his phone and spoke into it. "Rude", was all he had to say before the phone dialed for him.

After a long, solid sleep, Rhapsody woke up feeling refreshed, and ready to start the new day. She sat up and looked around, and then she washed her clothing while still on her with her water magicks. After that she used a similar technique to dry her clothing, except using fire for heat. She got out of bed and walked out of her room, comtemplating the thought of food. Realising, after looking around, that there was no food, Rhapsody created a chair out of solid wood and sat down. She also held out her hand and there appeared a frying pan with pancake batter. She cooked the pancakes with her bare hands then put them on a plate that appeared in her other hand. She vanished the frying pan and began to eat.

((well, don't seem like Grenz wants to get back to me... now, to pick a colour...))
Vincent simply nodded his assent, but was not going to wait for her to introduce him. Aerith was not very... wise when it came to picking her allies. She was too innocent, too trusting. However, Nanaki was here; he at least had the good sense to choose his friends well.
Vincent sidled around Aerith, taking a few sure steps towards the stranger. He allowed his arms to unfold, his cloak falling open just enough to show the tri-barrelled Cerberus at his side.
"If you are a friend of Aerith's then you have no need to fear me. My name is Vincent, would you be kind enough to inform me of your own name now?"
He would have to wait before asking her how she had returned.
((I seem to have lost Vincent...))
Cid squinted at the figure on the ground as it moved... she moved. No doubt aboutit; Cid was no stranger to the female figure.
"What in the hell is that? Another one o' them goddamned avatars?!" He spoke to no one except himself and his ship, then turning he hollered; "Bring her down, slow and steady! But keep her off the ground!"
"Aye-aye, Cap'ain!" resounded back to Cid and the Shera began to drop, almost as if falling gracefully through the atmosphere. Cid did not want to endanger his crew; if this was another Sephiroth's larval forms Cid would just have to risk it, but someone had to find out, warn the world.
The Captain hefted up his trusty lance, a powerful weapon he had crafted himself; the Venus Gospel, in part inspired by the dearly departed Aerith, strength and will, and in part inspired by his love... or was it lust... for Shera, beauty and skill. Watching the ground as the airship plummeted he hopped onto the railing, waiting till it was low enough for him to drop to the ground.
If there was too much trouble his crew knew what to do; lower the ladder and get him the hell outta there!
Rude was lying under a small pile of rubble as his thigh began to vibrate. He groaned, flicking pieces of black glass from his forehead, and heaved himself out of the broken concrete.
"Damn punks," he muttered as the three thugs he had been fighting saw him getting up and prepared to continue the fight. What kind of men pull a dirty trick like dropping half a house on a man?
Rude patted himself clean, his leg still vibrating, and pulled out another set of glasses. As he turned his back on the thugs they jeered, but he had more important things to deal with than letting off steam. If his leg was vibrating then that meant someone was calling, and that could only mean a mission. Good, he was getting bored, and Reno had wandered off... again!
He pulled the phone out of his pocket and flipped it open, only to grumble at it; "Damn idiot."
It was not Rufus, it was not Tseng, it was not even Elena... it was Reno. With a sigh Rude pressed the phone to his ear, hit the recieve key and gave a huff as his salutation.

Nanaki and Vincent could relate quite well. As the large fire-red beast had always seemed to be very cousious. He still didn't quite know if he fully trusted the three turks, even. But, he was letting that part go and watching the group as best he could. However, for Kaizer, he knew him, and if he trusted him, it had to mean something. Instead of giving Aerith the chance to react, he spoke.
"His name is Kazier. Do not worry, He has been a kind help to the team. We have know him for quite sometime.."
Sephriea crossed her arms, watching the airship with interest.Now she was sure he had seen her.But, she wasn't so sure about that airship as it begain to plummet to the ground. "...Go any faster and you might crash..Heh heh! This is going to be fun.." Sephriea kneeled down, and picked up the long staff in which she had laying there on the ground.It was a strange weapon,a sort of scythe, and spear like sword at the very end.As for the scythe, it was shaped as a black wing, with pink ribbon dangleing off of it. She could just get a small scare on him, couldn't she?

(I'm a retard, my apologies. Real life and parents keep me off the computer a lot. If Rude is still offered up to take, I'll gladly and if not, then too bad for me. Thankfully, you are a lot better at Cid then I was anyway.)
He just smiled and broke into a grin as a hand lifted to rub the back of his bald head. Dropping it back to his side, the captain of the Falcon shifted a tad to bring his dominant arm up and hold it out to Vincent to shake whichever hand. Of course he was one for introductions, even if he knew who everyone was before they even met him.
"As Red said, my name is Kaizer Faust. I'm the Captain of the Falcon, an airship. And there wasn't much need to tell me your name, Mr. Valentine. But you didn't know that."
His hand held steady, a thought would race through his mind as it brought up any information he knew about Vincent in its entirety. Which was quite a bit from what came up in his photographic-ish memory.
"I've always wanted to ask. How much recoil does your Cerberus have? For a three-barreled shotgun, it must have plenty of kick."
Circling the giant city after finishing unloading the evacuees, the Falcon was currently monitoring the skies itself to make sure that another storm wasn't following the one after the hurricane-like one that just hit the city and tore it apart. Grenz sat in the captain's chair, personally watching the screens for any signs of activities. Of course, the deeply-tanned swordwaltzer would perk up when he saw the Highwind on the view screen, heading towards the ground.
Like Cid himself, that glint of silver hair caught his eye and he tapped his monitor to zoom in. Well s**t. Just had to be him, didn't it? Stopping, he peered for a second and saw it wasn't a him at all...It was a her. Recalling what Kaizer had told him about the Sephiroth-like triplets, he came to the same conclusion, if not the fact he didn't freak like Cid seemed to. Calling to the pilots to slow the ship to a stop not far from the area of interest, Grenz stood and grabbed his blades. He figured his fellow pilot wouldn't be able to handle this...Clone? That's the right word. He would pull his radio up to his mouth and click it on.
"Spiker, get the airship onto Code Orange alert. We might have one of those Sephiroth clones the captain told us about."
"Roger, what are you going to do? Go out and assist him?"
"You got that right, bub."
He clicked the radio off just as he got to the docking bay. Looking to the engineer, the order to open the bay door would release from his mouth. Slapping a hand onto his goggles, he pulled them down and grinned as he stood at the door. Unlocking both swords from his belt, he leapt out the moment it opened and dive-bombed straight for Sephriea.

Sephriea took her eyes away from the Highwind for a moment, as it just accrued to her that there was yet another airship nearby.Maybe the whole needing a ride thing was a bad idea after all? If Cid was going to attack, she wounded who was inside the other airship.She took a small step back, lowering the staff.She had no way of knowing if there were a bunch of fighters on board each ship,ether.
..That thought,only came a bit late."..No way.." She muttered, tossing the weapon to the ground, and instead, retrieving both katana's from there sheath.Taking one more glance to the Highwind, Sephriea shook her head.She hadn't even planned to fight with Cid, didn't even want to hurt him. But now, she had to find another way to keep them from attacking. After all, if they were these good guys, they couldn't attack if they weren't threatened first!
Her mako blue-green eyes darted back to the other strange airship, and there was the strange figure she had seen dive off the ship,into her direction..
"..Great...." Putting up a hand, She waited for him to get just close enough so that she could catch him by a telekinetic hold, and keep him there in the air, away from her. (Gah. I don't want to do the same scene from AC when he stops Cloud like that. >.>)

((Cid had no intention of attacking till he found a need to... lol...
Take Rude, like I said... couldn't stand the thought of Reno going lonely, they're a double act! Although I did quite enjoy writing that...
oh yeah... it's not the Highwind. It's the Shera, Cid's new ship he designed not to use Mako... it was in AC.
You'll have to excuse me, I know little of DoC and do no wish to know any until I can play it in a fortnight... only a fortnight!! *spazzes* so, please try not to throw any spoilers my way?))
Vincent took in Nanaki's words with only a single, slight nod as his acknowledgement. However, he eyed the stranger, calling himself Kaizer Faust, with suspicion. How did he know of Vincent, and what else did he know? Was it purely from Aerith and Nanaki?
At least the man was mannerly, Vincent was not; he declined to take Faust's hand, that was something reserved for trusted comrades. And yet, Nanaki and Aerith trusted him, had known him "for quite some time."
His head tilted, his eyes glanced away for only a second; long enough for him to make his decision. He turned his red eyes back to Faust and raised his hand, palm down and fingers curled, to take the other's.
"How is it that you know of me?" he asked, ignoring Faust's question.
Cid took note of the other airship, he did not recognise her, or her name. As he was about to ask his boseman to make contact he saw a person leap from the ship.
"s**t! Are they insane?!"
Sure, Cid planned to discover what and who this woman was, but the person leaping from the other airship seemed to be in a head-long attack without any idea of who she was... or maybe they did. Well there was nothing for it but to join in the fun!
Cid leaped from the Shera's railings, the Venus Gospel clutched firmly in his left hand. He plunged to the ground, hoping to land a few metres from the silver haired woman.
