A New Ally (Remake)

Cloud sighed as he walked around on the deck of the ship Avalance has got onto. "Damn it, why do we need to wear crap like this.." Cloud muttered to himself. Yep, he was wearing a Shinra guard outfit. Pretty much all of Avalance was wearing a Shirna guard outfit, besides Barret, who Cloud made fun of behind of his back. Barret was wearing a salior's outfit, and Cloud thought it looked a bit funny on Barret. Everything was going fine, expect a couple of things. For one, Red was trying to walk like a human, and that could quickly give them away. Another problem they had was that Yuffie was trying to find out where the materia was, and if she got caught, they would get caught. I don't even know why I let her join us in the first place. Cloud thought to himself, as he stood near the railing of the ship. Yet Yuffie was also getting sea sickness, and that was a good thing to Cloud. It wasn't that he didn't like her, it was the fact she would finally shut up about materia.

"Hey Cloud.." whispered a voice.

Cloud knew who it was, it was Tifa, who was smiling. "When do you think we will get to land? Soon?" Tifa asked him, and he shrugged.

"Hopefully." Cloud said, and Tifa sighed.

"I just hope we won't be given away before that. Do you worry about it?"

Cloud nodded. "Especially with Yuffie and Red. Those two would give us away easily." Tifa nodded in agreement, but they were cut off by a Shirna guard's voice.

"HEY YOU! YES YOU!" They turned to see if it was one of their friends, but it wasn't. The Shirna guard was talking to another, who was laying against the railing of the ship.

"Eh? What do you want?" The voice sounded a bit like a young man, and the Shirna guard growled.

"You get your useless ass up and work! We don't need you slacking off!!" He said, and the young Shinra guard just waved his hand.

"Yea yea, I get it old man.." He said, getting up. He was pretty tall compared to the old man, but Cloud was a bit taller then he was.

"Old man?! Why I oughta..." But he stopped when someone placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about that kid, he just is a smartass."

The Shinra guard scoffed, and turned away. "Useless piece of.." But his sentence was finished because he walked down the stairs to see the cargo. The young Shinra guard chuckled, and he sat back down. He placed his back against the railing again, and he became quiet. Tifa giggled.

"That was sort of funny. He is pretty disrespectful to his commanding officer right Cloud?"

Cloud nodded. "Yea." He said.

"So Cloud..I need to ask you a very important question! And you better answer truthfully!" Tifa said, and Cloud looked at her confused.

"What is it?" Tifa took a deep breath, and pointed at her suit.

"Does this make me look fat?"

Cloud's eyes narrowed.

"That is your important question?"

Slap

"Fine..don't answer me. Jerk." Tifa said, walking off.

Cloud's face had a hand print on his face. "N-No wait! Tifa! It doesn't make you look fat!" He said, but Tifa ignored him. Little did he know, she was smiling a bit. But something else was bothering Tifa, it was the young Shinra guard. He looked so laid back. Usually Shinra guards were serious, but this one wasn't.

"Well he is a kid.." Tifa said, and she sighed. Aeris also noticed the young man's attitude, but she was to busy talking to Red, and trying to teach him how to walk. Yuffie, who was by the railing, also heard the commotion.

"That attitude...that hand gesture...I have seen it before." Yuffie mumbled to herself. "He couldn't be.."

Barret was also curious about the young man, but he ignored him while Barret talked to Cloud. "You actually think Sephiroth will be on the other side?" Cloud nodded.

"I'm sure of it." Cloud said, remembering the silver-haired man that he hated so much. He was honestly hoping to get him off his mind for a couple of minutes.

"So what are you going to do when you find him?" Barret asked, and Cloud glared at him.

"What the hell do you think I am going to do?" Barret sighed.

"Sorry! Man lighten up." He said, and Cloud sighed.

"Sorry Barret." All of a sudden, a bell started to ring, and all the Shinra guards got up.

"What's going on!?" All of them ran down the stairs, and Cloud smirked.

"Well, you know what to do.."

A couple of minutes later...

Cloud and the rest of Avalance stood on the deck, out of the Shinra suits. Yuffie still felt a bit sick, leaning on Aeris for support. "What now?" Red asked Cloud, who sighed.

"Well, I guess we should check out what is going on down there." Barret gasped.

"Are you fuckin insane?? We can get killed!!!"

Tifa nodded. "Barret's right Cloud, we should split up." Tifa said, and Cloud was about to argue until a voice cut them off.

"Eh? What?"

The young Shinra guard stood up from his spot, and looked around. "Where did those idoits go?" The young man turned his attention to Avalance. "Hmm? Stoaways?" He walked towards them, and Barret smirked, putting his gun arm up.

"Don't worry Spikey! I got this punk!" Quickly the young man gasped.

"Wait wait!"

He removed the helmet from his head.

It was a young man. The young man had long, blonde hair that stopped at his upper back. The hair would of covered his eyes but he removed it from his eyes. His eyes were a deep blue, and on his right eye, a scar went down in a vertical line. He was quite handsome, and he smiled. "You guys aren't Shinra guards either?" The young man said, trying to get the giant gun armed man to not point his gun at him.

"No. We hate Shinra. Hell I felt horrible wearing that suit." Cloud said, and the young man nodded in agreement.

"Yea, I hate them to. I go way back with them." The young man said, looking up at the sky. Cloud actually liked the kid, and sighed.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Hiro Aoyama."

WHAT!? Yuffie thought, surprised. "Hiro. I think I heard that name before." Cloud said, and Hiro shrugged.

"Hiro isn't really a common name around here is it?" Hiro asked.

"So Hiro, how old are you?" Aeris asked him, and he smirked.

"Seventeen. But don't treat me like a kid! I have lived on my own for two years already." He said, and Aeris giggled.

"If you lived on your own, that means you had to use a weapon. What kind of weapon do you use kid?" Barret asked, and out of nowhere Hiro pulled out a sword.

"Swords." The sword was a simple broadsword, and Hiro placed it back where it was, on his waist. It was behind him, and you couldn't see it until now. "Sorry I interruped you and stuff. I'll leave now." Hiro said, turning around.

"Wait a minute." Hiro turned back around and Cloud smirked. "Why don't you join us? I mean, we could use some help." Yuffie glared at Cloud.

"What? We don't need him!" Yuffie said, trying to make Cloud forget about the blonde boy. Hiro stared at Yuffie. Why does she look so..familar? And cute! Hiro thought, blushing a bit at the last thought.

"I think it is a really good idea Cloud. Who here thinks we should allow Hiro to join us?" Everyone besides Yuffie and Red raised their hands, but Red wagged his tail to show that he wanted the warrior on to their team.

"Well it is offical. Welcome to Avalance Hiro." Cloud said, and Hiro nodded.

"Thanks." He said, but then he noticed a angry look on Yuffie's face. What's her problem? Hiro thought to himself. Hiro looked at her more closely, but Yuffie noticed and turned her head away. She'll get over it.

"Anyway, we are going to spilt up into groups. Hiro, you can go with Aeris and Yuffie to check out the supplies on board. We will check everything else out." Cloud said, and Hiro nodded.

"Alright." Hiro said, walking over to Aeris and Yuffie, who was still looking away from him. "Hiro, you lead." Aeris said, and Hiro nodded.

I'm going to rewrite my old stories to make them better, so here is chapter one!
