The Ultimate Organization II

Xane headed inside as well. As he did, he had a thought...Whatif CLoud was the bad guy! That'd be weird.

 

Inside Cloud sat at the bar while Tifa worked behind it. Cloud turned at the door and eyed Xegreny up and down, then stood as Tifa stopped washing dishes.

"I'm supposing since Sephiroth let you inside that you aren't our enemy," Cloud said. "My name is Cloud Strife, and I'm honored to make your acquaintance."

"And I am Tifa Lockhart," Tifa said, bowing slightly. "Tell us, what brings you to our world?"

 

"Uh, fine, I guess. Nice seeing you, Tifa. Even though you're a different Tifa.." Xane said. "Real nice to see you...Heh." he thought. Though this was rather boring to him, seeing as this Midgard didn't seem too different from the original..."We're here top help against the Brotherhood."

 

Xegreny returned the bow. "I'm Xegreny Meion. Number Nine of the Ultimate Organization. The Energetic Bolt? Ever heard of me? Yes? No? Anyway, we're here to check out the state of the dark worlds. We decided to take a little vacation on Midgard to compete in a tournament.. and well.. yeah, bad stuff happened.. and now were here I guess!"

 

Tifa smiled. "Well, we certainly need the help. Kardas has been terrorizing us lately. However, we'll have to judge how good you are, and since you seem to be a fellow martial arts expert, we should spar some time..."

Cloud coughed into his hand, and then Sephiroth entered the room, followed by Aerith, Zack, Cissnei, Tseng, Rude, Reno, Barret, Red XIII, Rufus, Yuffie, Vincent, Shelke, etc.

As they piled in, they took seats, talking amongst themselves.

Sephiroth nodded to Cloud and Tifa, Cloud relaxing against the bar and Tifa sighing in relief.

Sephiroth turned back to the UO members (and Tera Roth and Janet of course).

"Allow me to introduce Aerith," he said, motioning to her.

She stepped forward and bowed to them. "I know you are from the light side of the worlds. From your expressions, it seems this is not the first time we've met. Tell me...what are our counterparts like?"

OOC: Took me a while to think of everybody, and still...

 

"Pretty much the same really." Xegreny said, "But I've not met all of you before. The only real difference is though.. that Sephiroth is insane... and evil."

OOC: Am i doin' it rite? :(

 

OOC.........Sighs.......I'm sorry......My nephew took the computer all day......And he threw a fit any time I tried to get on........

 

"Yeah. Basically the same," Xane repeated.

 

OOC: Yeah. XD

BIC: Sephiroth grunted. "As I suspected."

His hands squeezed slightly, but Aerith laid a hand on his arm and smiled slightly at him. He shrugged.

Aerith turned back. "Sephiroth has always felt that his life was split into two different arcs or paths when he made a choice several years ago in Nibelheim. That choice was to accept Jenova as his mother and to take revenge on the planet...or not. Sephiroth chose the latter. From what I assume, the other Sephiroth did not."

"Sephiroth began contacting old friends and their friends, and made a motley army of people who were against ShinRa organization," she said, waving a hand to include the people in the room. "After a time, ShinRa was deposed, and now Midgar has a rightful government. Lately, the Brotherhood has attempted several times to take over, but we have pushed them back each time."

"However, Kardas is a problem. He is preying on the citizens of our city, and we need somebody to take care of him. We suppose he is simply set to lure us out of the city, so another member can destroy our government and take control, so we're at a bit of a loss about what to do."

"My proposition, all of our propositions, are to ask of you," Aerith finished, "the Ultimate Organization, to kill Kardas and stop the Brotherhood from taking over our world."

OOC: And with that, I go. Hobey-ho, see you tomorrow.

 

"....What?" Xegreny asked, somewhat dumbfounded. "I know that the Brotherhood is evil and all... but we're not really mercenaries for hire. I dunno. I'd like to help personally, but I also don't think it'd be a good idea for this world to become dependant on a group of powerful individuals from the Light Worlds to fight it's battles. I dunno... What do you think, guys?" Xegreny said, as he thought out loud.

 

"Yeah, I mean...Can't you all handle it?" Xane asked?

 

OOC: OK, one more post.

BIC: "Yes," Cloud said, speaking up. "But we can't leave. We have to deal with the other member...and that means rooting him out. We know he's here."

Sephiroth shrugged. "I will go with you. You can measure our worth then."

Cloud frowned for a second, then shrugged. "Take someone else with you. It'll give us a chance to actually use all of our powers."

Sephiroth nodded. "So, will you accept? If all goes well, it shouldn't take long..."

"And I hear you are trying to destroy the Brotherhood, aren't you?" Tifa asked with a wry smile. "Isn't it in your best interest?"

 

"Well. We were SUPPOSED to keep that on the down-low... but SOMEBODY forgot to keep it a secret. But yeah, we are. But, we also can't simply solve this issue for you... what if you need help again? We'll be on the opposite side of the universe, literally. By the time we'd get here, what if it's too late?" Xegreny said with a frown. He didn't like how this was going.

 

Sephiroth nodded. "I see your point, but...I can't kill Kardas. I've tried...I have killed him. But he doesn't seem to notice. I can hack him to pieces and he comes back."

He shrugged. "If you get rid of Kardas, that should get rid of any problem we'll have. Everything else we can handle."

 

"Don't worry too much, "Xane said. "If we take care of two Brotherhood members here, I'm sure that'll turn the tide for this world as a whole."

 

OOC: !!!!

BIC: "We've arrived," Vecked muttered, as he approached the large castle on the foggy hill. "Scourge is inside," Nulix muttered, "Right?"

Vecked nodded, "Right."

OOC: Dk, it's posting time. And Pirate, where are Lexx and Skinny at?!

 

OOC: That sucks, because I have like 10 minutes, but I'll try...Post away Nulix, and fast.

 

"Fine then... I guess I'll help eliminate this Kardas or whatever. If Sephiroth can't kill him, It'll be a good chance to try out my new abilities...." Xegreny said, thinking out loud. Testing them out, he created a shield, sword, and other various weapons, and then destroyed him. Ever since the merge with Adumbral, items he made weren't as solid as his. The ones he'd made now seemed good enough. He still had a lot of work to do.

OOC: Speaking of Adumbral... I'm thinking that I'll finish his plotline in the next thread. Give us something to do before everyone else gets their own ideas going.

 

Vecked opened the Castle door. "Hello?" Vecked yelled, walking into the castle...

 

"I suppose you're here to see me," Scourge said. "The two brothers..."

He stepped away from the wall, and unfolded his arms, hands held loosely at his side.

"What is it you want from me?" Scourge said. "I'm quite busy actually."
