primum_mobileA/N: This chapter's theme song was suggested by crankyoldman and I went for it.
Rah rah, like a dungeon dragon--
I’m startin’ to feel like a dungeon dragon.
The swirling shadows exploded into the sight of the largest Leviathan Tifa had ever seen--no summon should be that big. It was shrieking and twisting, thrashing about. “It’s going to hit us...”
Elfe leapt out of the truck, sword in hand, not really sure if she was capable of killing what had to be the freaking elder god of Wutai, but it couldn’t hurt to die trying, right?
She was spared from an untimely demise, however, as the creature whipped around for her to hear a youthful war cry followed by a “DOWN, BOY!”
Look at my show footage, how these girls be spazzin’:
The fuck I look like getting back to a has-been?
The “White Rose”, the proud princess of Wutai herself was wrestling the great serpent, riding on the back of his neck like he was a horse. “Heyo! You down there! Move on: I can’t be responsible for bystanders!”
Tifa joined Elfe, both slack jawed at the sight. Yuffie said a few words that were lost to the wind, when suddenly there was a pop and flash and the summon disappeared. The greatest ninja in the world managed a decent landing in front of them with a grin. “Yeah, you’re welcome.”
“Yuffie... what...?”
‘Tifa!” Yuffie flung her arms out and picked up the bartender in a big hug. “What are you doing out here? Where are you headed? Is this a girl’s day out and I wasn’t invited?”
“We’re fetching Dr. Crescent.” Elfe’s voice was flat as she sized Yuffie up. Due to their schedules, they had traded emails, but had little time to really get to know each other--one of Elfe’s regrets, particularly because of how Rufus spoke of her (privately). “What was that?” She gestured around.
“Oh.” Yuffie, “Don’t worry about that. That was just me and Levi cleaning up some business--he’s been a little temperamental lately. Don’t mind him.” She grinned quickly, then her voice became matter-of-fact. “But you can’t go out there.”
“Why not?” Elfe narrowed her eyes. As much as she might respect Wutai’s new acting leader, she didn’t like being told no. “What’s going on?”
“Have you--I don’t know--taken a look around lately? The entire world’s coming apart!”
“Yes, that’s what we’re trying to solve.” Shelke came up behind Elfe’s elbow.
“Hey, bright eyes!” Yuffie smiled, then crossed her arms and shrugged. “Well, it’s not going to work. Rumor has it, that’s where all this mess is coming from. I went out there to check, and there’s a large storm over her cave--sort of a storm. It’s all swirly and things are flying around. There’s weird noises, too. Almost like this singing? I don’t know. What I do know is we couldn’t get inside--Levi went crazy.”
“But we have to...” Shelke broke off. Yuffie shook her head. The two began quibbling.
Tifa stood quietly watching. She finally put a hand on Yuffie’s shoulder, “How much materia do you have on you, Yuffie?”
The young ninja laughed, “I’m in charge of the royal treasury--how much do you think I have?”
Tifa smiled. “All you can carry--meaning enough for us, too. Look, why don’t you equip us and we’ll all go out there? I mean, what’s the worst it could be? Sephiroth? … Again? Whoo.” She made the words sound more upbeat than she felt, but Yuffie caught the spirit for her.
“Um, CHAOS!” Yuffie waved her arms, then dropped them, becoming more serious. She regarded them all for a long time, mulling the situation over.
“This is probably the dumbest thing we have ever done--so we had better kick ass because I don’t want to have to listen to Cidney if this fails.”
Shera hid her own smile--listening to Yuffie and Cid go on at each other was hilarious. “Don’t worry, Lady Kisaragi. If this fails, we probably won’t hear Captain Highwind again, right?” She was more apprehensive than Tifa, Elfe, and Shelke appeared to be. Yuffie gave her an understanding glance.
“Then like I said, don’t fail.”
Like a dungeon dragon, like a dungeon dragon.
