"Mmm. It's complicated."
Cloud said, some dejection filling his voice as he thought about Tifa and Reno. The words 'What the hell' screamed in his head, but he psuhed it aside and continued.
"To put it simply, worlds collided. Literally. This place seems to be a mesh between several different dimensions. Everyone who was formerly dead..."
Cloud swallowed as he thought abour Sephiroth, Zack... And Aerith. Then he shook his head, and continued.
"Everyone who died is back. There's a few bad guys running around, and one who's trying to make, well, I assume the 'heroes', of each world look bad. So far, he's doing a damn good job."
Cloud said with a shrug. He looked to each of them in turn.
"But it seems as though some other things are going on. Each of us seems to have come from a different point in our respective worlds. The Tifa that I know is a bit older than you, and would definately know Vincent..."
Cloud said, trailing off. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Anyways, we've banded together to try and fix this mess. Although we have no idea how, at the moment. Our mission is to head to this Iafa tree, which seems to be from Vivi's world. It's grasping at straws, really. But there's nothing else we can do."
Cloud paused once more.
"As far as you and I, Tifa... We saved the world from Sephiroth, then we re--built and opened the bar once more. A few years went by, everyone did their own thing, more or less. And now, we're here. You, Vincent, Zack, Sephiroth, and Aerith are the only people I recognize, but we've mad enew friends, like Vivi here."
Cloud said as he indicated Vivi.
"The rules of the worlds have also been meshed, as we've seen with Vivi's magic. He doesn't need a channel, like materia, as we do."
Cloud shrugged once more.
"And that, lady and gentlemen, is as far as I know. From here on out, we're learning together."

It was strange to hear the tales. Tifa, not knowing who he was, but only remembering so-called 'recent occurrences' in meeting Reno. Cloud seemed older, more mature than he recalled, and his information seemed knowledgeable enough. There was no reason not to trust Cloud, he'd always been trustworthy, and he seemed to know more about the going's on than anyone else around.
The former Turk looked to Vivi. So he's from another world to our own? Impressive. he considered the possibilities that could be present in such new worlds, that could help rebuild their own, if they ever got back to it. The knowledge alone would be useful enough.
"Correct me on something Cloud," he began, looking at his friend insightfully, "you said those dead, are alive again? You mentioned Aerith, Zack and Sephiroth as people you recognised." he paused, letting this sink in on the younger Tifa, and the black mage, so they might keep up.
"Sephiroth's alive again, and so is Zack." it wasn't a question, he'd seen the evidence himself when they fought of the creatures that had dealt him a spiny wound. "Aerith also, correct?" he finished.
He waited for Cloud's response, or someone to pipe in before he continued as he had more to say.
"I'm not quite sure how, but I've been able to do some things without Materia. They appear significantly weaker, without our channeling Materia, but they are possible." he felt like bringing to their attention this fact, so if Cloud or Tifa felt threatened, they may be able to mimic a power they'd known -or in Tifa's case, would know- to save their hides without the necessary Materia to go with it.
Any help, was good help.
(I was rereading the old threads we were in, and realised I'd made an error. A fatal one. I've already seen Sephiroth and Zack in the flesh. *facepalm*)

Cloud waited a moment before responding to Vincent.
"He is alive, yes. But he's the Sephiroth I remember from before the Nibelhiem incident. He's not evil, not yet at least. I know Zack and Reno wouldn't be hanging out with him if he was."
Cloud said, shaking his head. It was a subject he didn't really want to think about.
"As far as the materia deal goes, it seems we only need to channel physical magic. As I said, the rules have been meshed and/or changed. It will take some getting used too, to be certain, but it may not be all that bad."

Vivi listened carefully as the two men in front of him were talking. What they were saying made no sense... but neither had anything that he had seen so far. Vivi thought about it a little. He saw a mountain appear right in front of him. he stepped through a solid step. He was in a place that was not supposed to be where it was... yet here it was. At this point Vivi could not dismiss anything that they were saying.
he snapped back to attention as Cloud spoke up again. This made Vivi wonder. "Um... if i don't have to use materia to use my physical magic... then is it possible for you guys to be able to learn to use magic without using 'materia' as for the channel... I use myself to channel the magic through. It is difficult to learn and master, but very effective and potent. I have heard of other channels being used to learn magic such as weapons, but they are not meant to be permanent sources of the magic. Maybe with my help we can cheat these 'rules' that govern your world. And who is Sephiroth, Reno, and Zack?"

The black mage's words made sense to him. Perhaps it was possible to cheat the Materia? It was unbelievably joyous. The possibility of exceeding the constraints of their own world was a wonder which Vincent wasn't sure how they'd control themselves. After all; rules existed for a reason. Didn't they?
Who was to say that the victory over the rules of their own world wouldn't warp them in some way? Who was to say that the intense power they would be able to call forth at will was controllable? The truth struck him like a Bolt3 spell: It was simply beyond their reach. The possibility wasn't unreachable, however the set-backs it implied were highly possible. And that needed to be impressed upon.
"I don't think that wise for us, Vivi." he started, pausing briefly, letting Cloud and Tifa's eyes fall upon him. Once their attentions were gained, he continued. "It's best for us to abide the rules of our world. Who know's what consequences lie in wait, should we depart from the laws of nature of our own world. This also applies to you, Vivi. For there are powers we have, that you should probably not come to possess. Or it may possess you." his voice was monotonous, usually, but the last word was said with some vigour. "I feel that we may fall into chaos should we get too much stronger than what we are capable of maintaining."
It was a thought that the group should know, or -in Cloud's case, at least- be reminded of. Too much power could drive someone crazy. They knew that well with Sephiroth as he possessed far too much power, and he was using Materia, but he was still damn near invincible.
"What shall we do when we get to the Iifa tree? Only Vivi know's what to expect from it."

(Guys, I edited my second last post to repair my error. Vincent's already seen that Sephiroth and Zack are alive. It's been so long since we started this adventure, I'd completely forgotten all about that! SORRY!! '^^)

Vivi listened to everything that Vincent had to say. he thought about the costs of "breaking the rules", and agreed silently that they should probably just stick to the rules that they were familiar with already.
"What shall we do when we get to the Iifa tree? Only Vivi know's what to expect from it." Vncent said.
Vivi thought about the last time he had been to the Iifa tree. He thought again about his friends back in his world and how they would all react to the whole situation that he was in... if they weren't already in it with him.
It wasn't long before he realized that he had fallen asleep. It didn't surprise him really. He had spent a tremendous amount of his magical energy in the fight they had been in. He was rather surprised that he hadn't passed out sooner. but he was pleased that his magical energies seemed to be replenished from the rest. Vivi looked around and it seemed that the others had fallen asleep as well... as far as he could tell. He looked around wondering why he suddenly woke up.
Then he heard it. A very faint clicking noise. It sounded like a bug, but a giant bug, and while it seemed to be far away, it was getting closer. Vivi jumped up and started looking hard in the direction that the noise was coming from. he was glad that his magic was fully recovered and started to bring some offensive spells to his mind. He noticed that there were more spells in his mind than he knew that he had, but vowed to explore those later when he did not have to worry about being attacked.
"Hey guys! something is coming!" Vivi shouted trying to alert the rest of the party. As soon as he did though, the Gargant came around the corner and Vivi relaxed his stance in relief. he walked over to the plant he had seen earlier and picked off a branch. He then walked over to the path and held it up so the gargant could see it. Immediately the gargant came over and started to eat the branch. "Hey guys, this thing can take us at least part of the way to the Iifa tree. Lets hop on it and try to get there. And with that, Vivi hopped onto the gargant.

"But he's the Sephiroth I remember from before the Nibelhiem incident. He's not evil, not yet at least. I know Zack and Reno wouldn't be hanging out with him if he was."
Tifa's thoughts drifted away from her friends at those words. It seemed impossible that she should recall Nibelheim burning and her father's death so clearly, but to be in a time and place where it may not have happened. If Sephiroth had no memory of it, and here had never committed such a crime, could it be possible that her father still lived on, here in this blended world? Aside from Cloud and Barret, her father had been the only person in her life that had supported and cared for her, and never failed her. She would give anything to have him back.
Tifa couldn't understand why her heart skipped a tiny beat at not only hearing Reno's name, but Cloud's apparent assurance that Reno wasn't evil himself. He was a Turk. He wasn't worth her time. Besides, she was only interested in Cloud, had only ever been interested in Cloud. But then why did she find herself wondering what the handsome redhead was doing, and if he was alright?
Handsome?! The thought jumped out at her. Girl, get a grip! Quit acting like some idiot child. You hardly even know the man! You finally have Cloud back in front of you, and you're thinking about a Turk?!
Shaking her head slightly, she cleared her thoughts in time to listen to the last half of what Vincent was saying. Keeping with the rules they knew from their own worlds made definite sense. Who knew what trouble you could cause for yourself and others by meddling in things you didn't know or understand.
"Hey guys! something is coming!"
The shout startled Tifa. When had she fallen asleep? No time to think. Vivi scrambled over to snatch up a branch and wave it around. What appeared to be a giant insect emerged from the surrounding foliage and nibbled at Vivi's offering.
Tifa's breath caught, momentarily worried that Vivi was about to be devoured by the creature. That concern was immediately eased as she saw him scramble up onto the thing's back. It seemed to be calm enough, as it ate up the last of the branch still hanging from it's mandibles.
Walking over to the insect's shoulder, Tifa patted it apprehensively in what she hoped was a reassuring way, and called up to Vivi. "What is this thing Vivi? Or do you just have a way with animals?" She smiled and began to heave herself up, placing herself astride behind Vivi. It was smooth, like sitting on polished marble. Forcing her skirt down so it covered as much of her as possible, she motioned to Cloud and Vincent, who still seemed a bit groggy. "Are you two coming, or are you going to walk the entire way to wherever it is we're going?"

((yeah that happens to me sometimes. That is a bit weird. It is registering now though))
Vivi saw Tifa get up and walk over to the Gargant. a look of worry and apprehension across her face. He looked around at Cloud and Vincent to see if they were up yet. "we re lucky that this was just a Gargant..." Vivi muttered under his breath at the realization that the other two still seemed to be asleep.
"What is this thing Vivi? Or do you just have a way with animals?" Vivi heard Tifa say. He looked around again and remembered that they were not from his world.
"This is a Gargant." Vivi said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. "they eat these thorn like plants, and are tame enough to give people rides. This should be able to take us to the Iifa tree..." he turned to look at cloud and Vincent again, "... but only if we GET UP!!!" he said jokingly.

Cloud had an apprehensive look on his face, although it didn't stop Vivi and Tifa from trying to urge Vincent and himself to climb aboard.
"Are you sure about this Vivi, that may have been so in your world, but we don't know how things have changed. Regardless, you know more than I do, so..."
Cloud climbed aboard, still with that apprehensive look.
"Just be sure all of you are ready for anything."
