Terra shoots multiple fireballs towards the three figures from the tips of her sword. Her aim isn't doing that great due to the multiple shifts of movements from Cloud trying to avoid all of the cars and people that are simply passing by. Meanwhile, the three men in coats simply leap into the air with their own motorbikes. They each land on multiple cars, without a single care in the world. The process was something that was getting quite infuriating that Cloud increases the speed before rushing over towards a highway entrance after leaping over five cars at once.

At this point, the three figures turned around with one of them readying their gun, pointing it straight towards Cloud. With his quick thinking, Cloud takes out a sword from the slots.

"Hold on tight Terra!" Cloud yells out. Terra holds on to Cloud tightly as Fenrir starts to strafe a little. One of the figures starts shooting multiple bullets towards the two. Cloud dodges side by side or blocked with his blade. Another figure simply smiles as he gathers energy to summon a bunch of weirdly distorted dogs. The distorted dogs start to slow down in order to attack the two. Cloud slices the dogs as they come close with relative ease as Terra does her best to shoot at the mysterious figures.

The brawny one simply smiles before getting off his bike teleporting in front of the two. He readies to slam them. Terra shoots a quick thunder spell at him, stunning him midair. Cloud goes in for a quick slash only for the man to teleport to stand on the bike. Realizing it too late, Cloud gets knocked into the air from a single punch, leaving him little time to recover. Almost as if he was specifically targeting Cloud, he jumps towards Cloud punching him multiple times midair.

Terra was forced to take over Fenrir as to not lose control. She was able to stabilize the motorbike, in order to dodge a few small gunshots from the other man. In response to this, she summons multiple magical attacks, readying from Blizzara and Fira to keep the two them focused.

Cloud was able to predict where the man was going to teleport next as he spins around, giving him a spin slash with one of his swords before landing on the back of Fenrir. He blocks a few more bullets before jumping towards the brawny one again. He responds with a quick punch, only be miss as Cloud dodged in the air.

Cloud spins around him and kicks off him into the highway leaping his way over towards Kadaj who prepares to fight with his katana.

"Loz!" One of the other men exclaimed from the scene before shooting Cloud. Cloud blocks the bullets midair and clashes blades with Kadaj.

"Yazoo!" The brawny man exclaimed in pain before immediately teleporting onto his slowing motorbike, speeding up as he tries to catch up. Terra spins around shooting multiple magical spells before readying her blade to block the metal arm weapon around Loz's arm.

"Who are you?!" Terra exclaims. Loz simply chuckles with the contraption on his arm activates, shocking Terra's arm, pushing her away instinctively. He jumps toward her readying to activate his machine again when he's suddenly pulled back towards his bike by some force of gravity. He looks back at Terra who drives ahead of him, allowing Cloud to jump back onto Fenrir.

Terra moves back to allow Cloud to take control once again of Fenrir. He accelerates towards the two, only to be slammed into a wall by Loz. He readies his arm gauntlet again with Cloud simply opening his sword cases, knocking him away.

"Yazoo, Loz. Enough with the fooling around. We simply did what we were asked to do. They didn't tell us where Mother was. We'll meet up with Big Brother another day." Kadaj said with a smile as he spins his motorbike to look around at Cloud, dead center in the eyes. He didn't say a word after that, he just smirks at him before disappearing into a black portal with the other two. The three motorbikes enter the black portal and closes the moment Fenrir got close.

"You okay?" Cloud stops the motorbike to check up on Terra properly. The girl slowly nods before passing out from exhaustion. The stress was obviously getting the best of her. The two needed a place to stay for a while so that Terra could rest. Knowing this, Cloud starts Fenrir up again before driving away. He still needed time to think about the situation itself.

"This just in. The corporal building for the "Army for Hire" and electrical service, otherwise known as Shinra Inc. has been destroyed from what seems to be a terrorist attack leaving 14 dead, and 45 injured, including President Rufus Shinra. It is led to be that these terrorists are insurgence from a previous escapade that Shinra has suppressed in the past. There are no current suspects currently, however, eyewitnesses have shown a man with blond hair on a motorbike around the scene during the explosion. He is accompanied by a green hair girl and quickly fled the scene after the explosion. If you have any clues onto the whereabouts of these suspects, please contact your local authorities. Back to you Zero."

The news anchor was definitely a surprise for those that have been watched. Shinra Inc. has shown to be one of the biggest companies in Remnant, sprouting multiple buildings across the world. It even rivals with the Schnee Dust Company in Atlas. Led by the new President, Rufus Shinra, Shinra Inc. became from just an electrical company, but a massive corporation due to their applied weapons science and an army behind their disposal. Unlike Atlas, Shinra does not hold any ties to any one nation, but simply to the highest bidder.

Team RWBY and JNPR were sitting by themselves in the lunch hall when the news was projected over an overhead screen. The news was definitely a cause of concern for some of the students in Beacon Academy, with the scene of the crime being so close to the school itself. Whispers were passed back and forth about the incident itself. It was even enough to stop the students from harassing the Keyblade Wielders for once, letting them have a moment of relief, however brief it might be.

"The idea that someone would stage a terrorist attack against someone like Rufus Shinra is insanity!" Weiss looked furious after taking a look at the news. Seeing that she came from a similar background as Rufus, it was little to no surprise that she would react in such a manner. If anything, it was an eye-opener for certain aspects around the world. "They didn't even try to send some kind of message. It was like it was a personal attack."

"His face was clear in the news reports. Yet there hasn't been any facial recognition that links him or his partner. It's like he doesn't even exist." Yang comments. It was definitely something to ponder about for the group. Their faces were clear as day. It would have been easy to link them with federal databases. Even if they were from other nations, any records on people should be able to track.

"So we're basically dealing with some kind of ghost… I don't buy it. Maybe it's their semblance. That way, they would be able to be tracked so easily." Ren states, offering that to the table.

"While that could be an idea, there something about this that just doesn't sit right." Blake ribbon twitches. She slowly turns around to see Sora sitting by himself on one of the lunch tables. She had noticed him sitting by himself before the news clip. He was acting normal, but after the News report came in, he started to act a little bit shifty. He takes out his Scroll before talking. It was quite a distance away but she was able to hear a few words.

"... Cloud… Don't know… Ozpin." Sora puts his scroll away and stands up.

'Clouds? What did that have to do with anything?' Blake thought to herself. He takes his tray towards the turn-in station before leaving the area. It was definitely suspicious no matter how you looked at it. So Blake starts to follow him. Through the hallways, outside the courtyard to all around Beacon Academy.

It was almost as if Sora was trying to shake off any stalkers that were following him. After a while, Sora stops at an area where there were no people following him before taking out Master Keeper.

"Who's there?!" Sora yells. He gets ready in battle position, looks around for a bit. Blake didn't leave from her spot. She stayed hidden, with Sora looking around. After a while, he shakes his head before walking towards Ozpin's office. It was a bad area… Blake couldn't follow Sora without being caught herself. However, she did notice the rest of Teams SRVX and RLIK enter Ozpin's office as well.

'What exactly are you hiding?' Blake thinks to herself.

"You know the man on the motorbike during the bombing of one of Shinra Inc. stations?" Ozpin was definitely shocked by the fact. He didn't really expect something like this. If anything, it looked like someone who had a personal vendetta against the President.

"I know him from one of the worlds that we've visited. There's no way that he's the guy who bombed that place!" Sora crosses his arms. It's been around four months since Cloud disappeared with his clash against Sephiroth at Radiant Garden. For him to pop out here of all places, was a surprise. But what was interesting was the green-haired girl that he was with.

"Given his record of him not popping us anywhere, we'll have to presume so. However, let us say that it's true that he didn't bomb the place… He was still seen fleeing the scene with multiple eyewitnesses pointing him towards there. There must be a reason why that would be the case." Ozpin looks through the video footage from the news once again. He studies it with a close eye.

"Before we could answer that, we should wonder why Cloud was there, to begin with? Would he be meeting with the President himself?" Isa states.

"Perhaps he was chasing the ones that staged the bombing. You know, the real culprit." Kairi says. It was the only thing that really made the most sense if that were the case. If he wasn't the one who did the crime, he must've chased the culprits.

"But now, he's gone and missing. Which means we have no idea what to do exactly." Ozpin stops the recording before standing up. "Since Beacon Academy since to be the closest towards the scene of the crime, I've been asked for help, revolving this Cloud person. Seeing as the police are being stretched quite thin due to this massive outbreak. Normally, I would send a team… but not from your year. Especially, since it's so early."

"But, we know him the most. That way, we can track him down and deal with him accordingly." Riku states. He had an uneasy feeling from the idea. It would make sense. Due to their personal relationship with Cloud, it would make sense for Ozpin to not send the group. Especially since all of the hate for the group for the past two weeks now.

"You bring an interesting point, Riku. But this situation is dire. You all know so. My hands are quite tied at the moment. I have to deal with all of this accordingly." Ozpin takes a look at the group. He ponders a little. "Plus. If I send both of your teams, especially now of all times. It would scream suspicion to every single student on campus. Chaos would consume the school if that was the case."

"Surely there must be some way that we can get over there so that we can search for Cloud," Xion stated. It felt like not just Ozpin but the whole groups were tied up, unable to do anything for this.

"Luckily, for the next week. Classes will be coming to a halt due to these events. From there, you all will go and find this Cloud and try to find these true culprits." This gave a positive reaction to the group. To the fact that they let out sighs of relief before Ozpin raises his hands. "However, this must be a secret. None of the students here are to know of this. Is that understood?"

"Yes, sir!"

"You all must leave tomorrow. Good luck to you, students." The group starts to leave when suddenly a notification pops up in front of Ozpin. As soon as Ozpin takes a look at the notification, he immediately calls out. "Team Relinquished. Please stay for an extra moment if you would."

"We'll start to get ready for the thing. Don't take too long…" Roxas comments with Team SRVX walking towards the elevator.

"What else is it that you need from us, huh?" Riku questions.

"You all will not be assisting Team Service on their lookout for Cloud." Ozpin states.

"Huh? What the hell?! Why not?" Lea yells.

"Lea! Calm down! There must be a reason!" Isa grunts holding Lea back.

"You are to assist President Rufus Shinra to carry precious cargo and protecting it… from his alleged attackers." Ozpin looks up at the email towards the four students.

Blake definitely alerted everyone else about the suspicious activity that Sora and the others were. She told the others not to come, as she staked out the entrance towards the elevator to Ozpin's office for quite some time now. It was critical that she got the information that she needed. So when she sees the members of Team SRVX exit the elevator leaving trying to be as casual as normal.

"Man… We're going to have to leave tomorrow really early if we want to get to the city without anyone noticing." Sora yawns with Roxas covering his mouth.

"Not so loud you idiot! You never know if something could be here, listening to us!" Roxas growls. After a second, he finally lets go before sighing. "In any case. This definitely doesn't seem like a one day venture."

"If that's going to be the case, we should pack clothes for the trip. Who knows how long it'll take to find Cloud." Xion states at the idea.

"Then let's hurry on back to the dorms and get a head start on everything!" Ven nods with the group running towards the dorm rooms. Blake leaves her spot of hiding. She takes a look to see a notification for classes to be temporarily closed for a week as she calls everyone else.

"We need to pack some clothes. We're going to Midgar."

Cloud lays Terra on a bed inside a rather empty yet clean inn. After this, Cloud takes a seat on one of the chairs. He lifts his sword and places it next to the chair before starting to think. The situation he's in is a rather crazy one already. The news that Rufus gave was eating through his mind. What really ate him the most was the resurrection of Sephiroth. It was already a painful subject for him. Sephiroth, a massive figure in Cloud's past. A lingering darkness that Cloud had kept close to his heart for years. It's eaten him up for the longest time. No matter how Cloud tried to refuse him, Sephiroth came back. And now Sephiroth is being linked towards Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. The group was mysterious to Cloud. He didn't know much except for their faces and names. There was one link that caught his interests though. Their outfits. The outfits that they wore were similar to an outfit that Cloud has seen in the past.

"Organization XIII!" Sora's voice echoed in Cloud's head. That was where Cloud has seen those outfits before. It's been a rather long time by the fact. So he wasn't sure about any of the information given to him. He didn't know much of the organization, to begin with, and being outside of the loop for so long, he simply gave up on keeping things tracked. All he knows is that he had to find Kadaj again.

"Mmh…" Terra mumbles in her sleep. It startled Cloud a little before letting out a sigh. He stands up to take a quick peek at Terra's condition before making his way back to the chair.

"Night…"

Season 1

The Final Piece

Finished

Wassup my homies! This is NexusMHX here with another episode of "The Final Piece"! So... I don't think that I have ever done seasons before today. I mean, I did separate segments of Nexus the Multiwielder, but that was it mostly. This is the first time that I'm actually placing a proper stopping area for a small break during a fanfiction instead of stopping altogether. It feels so weird. It's almost like I'm an actual writer and I just finished the first book in my novel series with so much left to go. Oooh. It fills me up with so much excitement and energy that I'm basically jumping for joy at this rate! My hands are feeling tingling... Are they supposed to be? In any case, I don't know when I'm going to properly return back to this, but until then I hoped that you enjoyed what have you have seen so far. I greatly appreciate all of the support you guys have shown for me. It really does mean a lot to me. Also, I'm gonna add some stuff that are in FF7R but not too much. Whenever the next season comes out. But for now, this is NexusMHX signing off! If you enjoyed, I would greatly appreciate it if you followed/favorite/comment for more content. Stay Classy you all!
