Aboard the Highwind, flying towards Nibelhiem at amazing speed.

"Yo Spikey!" Says a big black man, with a white jacket, and fishnet shirt on, black shorts. He walks up to Cloud and Novus, and pats Cloud on the shoulder "Wazzup man?" He says, looking at Novus' ears in slight disbelief. Cloud explains what has happened to everone, and then introduces everyone to them.

"Well thats pretty much whats going on right now" Cloud finishes, and then walks up to a Guy in a dark red cape, standing in the Corner and starts talking to him. Then a dark red animal walks up to Novus and looks at him "You, are a Viera?" The animal asks "He..he talks" Novus says startled.
"Yes, I am Nanaki" He says and Novus states that he is a viera. and the talk alil together. Novus looks around while talking to Nanaki, everyone is chatting..

Jack leans next to the man in the red cape. "So how did you manage to attract such a group of characters?" Asked Jack finally to the man in red. "I guess you could say they keep things interesting." said the man quietly. "By the way Im Vincent, you must be Jack." continued Vincent "You seem like you carry a burden beyond your control? I know what thats like."

"We are almost to Nibelhiem yall" Says Cid to everyone, and then they all go back to chatting, and Cloud comes over to Novus and Nanaki, and sits down next to Novus "Hey Nanaki, you have been really talkative with Novus. Must like him." Cloud says to Nanaki with a chuckle.

"He is kind of like me. I guess i find him interesting" Nanaki says, and then they talk alil more about their past and other stuff as the approach Nibelhiem

"You bear a heavy burden dont you Jack?" Asked Vincent quietly his eyes glistened lightly with blood red color. " Travelers welcome this burden that is placed upon us with an open mind, and often a heavy heart." Said Jack in return there was something familar about vincent he just couldn't place it. "With a great power comes great responsibility" Said Jack "This burden wont defeat you. Keep you eyes to the horizon. Peace lies beyond it." Said Vincent as he walked away.

"We landing, hold on and keep quiet y'all" states Cid loudly as the quickly approached the outskirts of Nibelhiem.

"Well, i guess this is where we part ways.." Says Novus, standing up, and looking around. And suddenly Cloud walks out of one of the rooms and into the bridge of the Highwind. "Not yet, this area has been littered with powerful monsters lately. Vincent and me have agreed to accompany you two for now." He says and looks at Vincent, who nods lightly, and then Cloud walks to a large door, and opens it, pulling out a shining black blade. Then walks over to Novus. "From one Breaker to another, this sword is yours" He says and hands it over to Novus.

Novus looks at the blade, sensing the pulsating energy from it, and then nods to Cloud. "Thank you.." He says lightly and Cloud smiles alil and then walks towards the exit, as the have landed. Vincent slowly following Cloud. Novus holds the sword up for a second and then quickly sheathes it. Running after them, Jack slowly following behind.

As soon as all four of them are out of the Highwind, it quickly starts up and takes off.
"Uhm..." Novus starts, pointing at the Highwind.
"Dont worry, they will be back after we are done." Cloud says, as he unsheathes the Tsurugi, which at the moment, has all but one part in it. "We already have company" Cloud says as Novus unsheathes the Unknown.

OOC: Ok, the unknown is more like the Tsurugi. it has two parts, yes but the styling is more like the Tsurugi. Now, the second part, instead of being an exact copy, is more of a lighter, slightly shorter version.. If you understand

Jack looked out as the dust settled and saw the giant from of what the locals called The Dark Dragon. The scales were of the deepest black, Jack swore if he stared into it he would lose himself in the darkness. "Shall we," He said to vincent as The Kingslayer transformed into a Large Scythe. "Hmm." Said Jack as he looked at the scythe. "Thats new..." Jack began to smirk. " I Like it." He said as he lunged forward.

Cloud looks at the big dragon, and grins, looking to Novus. Novus runs up and jumps, slashing with the Unknown twice at the dragons side, slashing into the deep black skin. Then he looks to the side as the dragons tail nails him and sends him flying away, into a giant cliffside. Novus falls to the ground and slowly gets up.

Cloud runs forward, dodging a few tail swings and then looks up as the dragon rears his had and lets forth a fire breath attack, Cloud rolls out of the way and swings the Tsurugi up and slams it down making a blue arc appear and fly towards the dragon, nailing in the side with a large blue explosion of energy. The dragon flails its tail at Cloud knocking him away. Cloud rolls to his feet, readying himself as Novus runs up to him, holding the Unknown out, hearing a small click, the Unknown ejects a slightly shorter white blade, Novus catches it and gets in a stance, both white and dark blades held at the ready "This is going to be fun" Novus says, and Cloud laughs to that

Jack jumped up and slashed with the giant scythe at the dark Dragons wings. Clipping one of them, The Dragon unleashed a roar of intense pain. "Scatter" Said Jack as the Dragon lunged at him, Jacks blade exploded into a thousand small fragments that swarmed around Jack. Jack looked up and saw vincent Transform into Chaos. "Thats so awesome!" Said Jack with a smile on his face like he was a kid in a candy store. "Devour" Said Jack as he turned and walked away. "Boys Lets get a move on."

The dragon releases a black fire breath, knocking most of the shards away from it, and then its eyes shine a bright white color. "This cant be good..." Cloud says, and Novus looks to Jack and Vincent, then to cloud and then runs past them all, jumping up and slashing a few times on the dragons neck, the dragon flails and knocks him down. Novus slowly stands up and growls. "Im tired of this...." Novus says as hes enulfed in a dark aura, and a dark black wing juts out of his left shoulder blade. Cloud looks back and stares at Novus, as Vincent does also. Novus rises off the ground and floats there.

Novus raises his left hand up, and a large black arcane circle appeares below the dragon. Novus waves his hands lightly "Vanish" he says as the circle glows a dark black red-ish color, and then explodes, englufing the dragon in complete darkness, after the darkness settles the dragon is laying down, dead. Novus touches back down lightly and looks around, the wing not dissapearing like before "What is everyone staring at..." He asks worried.

Jack looked at Novus with a shocked look on his face. "No!!!" thought Jack as time began to slow to a stop. Linaly appeared in front of Novus and looked at the wing that sprouted from his back. "Jack, Its starting to take hold of him." Said Linaly quietly, as she touched Novus cheek lightly. "What the hell am I supposed to do about it?" Yelled Jack his voice filled with rage at the gods. "You said Guide him to the light. Its been less than a month." Jack glared at Linaly with hatred. "He'll be fine, the wing should fade soon, though the more he uses his dark powers the closer to the shadows he gets." said Linaly as she touched jack on the shoulder. "Also, would be wise to remember you arent a god any longer." She kissed Jack on the cheek. "You, can bring him to the light." She said as she faded and time returned to normal.

Novus looks around and then back noticing the wing, now understanding why everyones staring at him
"Novus, why hasnt your wing dissapeared.." Cloud asks as he walks up to him.
"I...dont know, nothing feels different about it.." Novus says and then closes his eyes for a bit, suddenly getting engulfed in a dark aura, the wing dissapears, the aura dissapates and a few black feathers fall to the ground, and Novus opens his eyes, looking at everyone "There.. all better" He says and smiles, and Cloud lifts the Tsurugi up on his shoulder, and smirks at Novus. Novus slowly sheathes the Unknown, and then he and Cloud walk past Jack and Vincent heading For Nibelhiem.

"You two coming or not?" Cloud yells back to them

"Lets go." said Vincent as he put his hand on Jacks shoulder. "The burdens we bear are heavy, Dont lose yourself in the darkness of your sins." Said Vincent as he walked alongside Jack. "How do you manage to Find peace?" asked Jack quietly. "We travelers must do as our god, commands. They place so much on us then do not aid us when we need them." Said Jack as he looked at Vincent. " We must follow the with faith that we are doing a greater good." Said Vincent as they walked. "They chose us because we can handle it, Because we have seen both the darkest dark, and the most holy light." Continued vincent "That is where I find my peace amongst the Chaos. Find your truth, its your greatest weapon as a traveler."

Cloud and Novus walk around a corner of a cliff and turn to face the entrance to Nibelhiem. The town, even though it is seemingly abandoned, is brooding, like evil is overflowing from it. It send chills up and down Novus' spine "This place..creeps me the hell out..." and Cloud chuckles and nods his head, walking into the town, Novus slowly following.

"This is a copy of my hometown.." Cloud says and Novus looks at him and asks "What...a copy?"

"Yea.. back when i was an infantry man in ShinRa, Sephiroth, Zack and me came to Nibelhiem to work on the reactor.. everything went wrong after that.. Sephiroth lost his mind and destroyed the town.. he killed everyone.. even my mother..." Cloud explains

"So...Sephiroth destroyed the town.. by the way..who is Zack?" Novus asks and Cloud smiles lightly "Zack was my best friend.. he kept me safe after everything happened here for almost a year.. he died protecting me.. that sword back at the church.. the buster sword, was his.." Cloud says as they slowly walk to the water tower. "So how did you meet Vincent.." Novus asks another question "What is this, an interrogation Novus? heh, well hes a traveler, like Jack, and i'm a Breaker.. i guess it was fate.." Cloud says with a shrug and then turns to wait for Vincent and Jack

Jack looked over the edge of the cliff and saw the dark and menacing outline of what he guessed was shinra Manor. He glanced at Vincent who's face flashed a look of great distaste at the Manor. "You have a history with this place dont you?" Asked Jack as he walked behind Cloud and Novus. "A tale for a later time." Said Vincent as he turned his eyes away from the Manor. "We must be on guard, We know not what awaits us." Said Vincent quietly.

Novus and Cloud slowly walk up to the manors gates, and Novus examines the large building "This place.. is large..but..it feels evil.." Novus states and Cloud looks at him "It is.. its where most the Sephiroth clones were made, and used to have many monsters roaming it all the time.. it appears to be cleaned out by Rufus and the Turks" He explains and then Novus reaches into his bag and pulls out the ShinRa emblem "I wanna know why the man named Tsung gave me this.." Novus explains and looks up at the mansion gates, putting the emblem away and pushing open the gates and walking in, Cloud following alittle far behind.

Out of the ShinRa mansion comes a guy in a blue suit with bright red spiky hair and runs up swinging a baton at Novus, who barely dodges the first few swings before getting knocked down.
"heh.. you have alot to learn kid.." The spikey red haired guy says, and then looks to the rest of the group
