The Canalization

The monster wasn't alone as some little monsters resembling him came with him. Everyone was ready to fight as Yui turned into BurningGreymon this time while her siblings were in similar armors only their color was different since Nora had a blue armor while Kieron a red one.

Cloud and Tifa were surprised to see them in armor while Aerith smiles while saying, "It seems they won't be using their weapon."

"What!" says Tifa thinking Aerith was joking when suddenly the giant monster attack. Kieron rushes at it and clashes head-on as he catches it by the horns.

Kieron then begins to lift him when Yui uses Pyro Barrage making the monster catch fire while Nora killed little monsters that were on fire. This surprised the trio as they watched when Kieron says, "What are you three waiting for attack the giant pork."

The trio begins to attack as Aerith used Fire against it while Cloud began to swing at the flying monster that was wrestling with Kieron to get to the ground. Tifa was helping Nora and Yui taking out the smaller monsters before joining the others to take out the big one.

Kieron suddenly used too much strength breaking the horns of the boar-like monster. The monster tried to escape when Kieron grabs it by the tail and says, "Where are you going pig."

He pulls the monster towards him as he throws it against the wall he wanted to destroy before while saying, "Tonight we will eat Porkchop."

The monster flies through the wall opening a way for them. The monster stands up and runs away from them when Kieron wanted to chase it when Nora stops him and says, "We have better things to do right now."

"Right," says Kieron as he turned to the others and asks, "Do you think the canalization is connected to Sector 7?"

"It should if we find the right way. The canalization is connecting the whole slums with each other. The only problem is that monsters live in it," says Tifa as she was still surprised by the performance of the family.

Seeing how fast and precise they were and how strong as Kieron was to break the horns with pure strength making her teacher look like a child.

They walked a bit through the canalization fighting against monsters that looked like turtles that had spears in their hand making Kieron take them out while mocking them for their poor technique. There were some crabs as well as some flying pufferfishes monsters attacking making the group fight their way through the canalization.

"So how comes you are stronger than SOLDIERS?" asks Tifa as they tried to find the exit.

"I was trained by my parents when I was adopted. Nora was trained by our father's grandfather while Kieron was trained by our mother's great-grandfather," says Yui as she wanted to explain it further when Aerith interrupted her.

"Jack trained you," says Aerith at Nora as she took Nora's hands into hers and continues, "That means you were trained by someone really powerful right."

"Yes, but before he trained me I had to train under our parent. Then under Escanor and Arturia before Jack trained me," says Nora as Aerith then looked at Kieron.

"And you?" asks Aerith as she looked like a lost puppy to Kieron not being able to resist that question.

"Almost the same first our parent and then Escanor. After that, I was trained by Gilgamesh and Emir before Logan trained me," says Kieron as Aerith looked confused at him since she didn't know Logan, not like Jack.

"Let's just say we all are stronger than average humans," says Yui while winking at Aerith to not blow their cover.

"Really just stronger. If it was just the case Kieron shouldn't be able to lift such a monster. Even the SOLDIERS I met before couldn't do that maybe slice them apart but not lift it as if it was nothing," says Tifa as they crossed a bridge in the canalization.

"Maybe Kieron can help you with that later. He is quite good with Ki," says Yui as she showed a little ball made out of Ki to Tifa and the other two.

"Is that magic?" asks Cloud when the three begin to laugh.

"It might seem like it is, but it isn't. Every person has Ki...," says Yui explaining that Ki was in every person with some having better control over it than others.

"So that ki is in every person. It sounds almost like Chakra," says Tifa as the trio looks at her and suddenly Yui puts her hand on Tifa's belly to confirm if it was the same Chakra they used.

"What are you doing?" asks Tifa as she looked at Yui.

"Confirming something but it seems it's only an underdeveloped Ki that you have. If it was really Chakra you could do some really funny things," says Yui as she felt Ki inside Tifa it wasn't strong but stronger than the other two where radiating.

"So she has Ki. It would be good to train her. She could become a powerhouse," says Nora as they arrived in another section of the canalization.

"It seems we are almost there. Do you see the door over there," says Aerith as the group nods and she continues, "Passing it we should be able to enter Sector 7."

"Alright," says Kieron as he takes Cloud and flies over while the other two picked Aerith and Tifa.

Once on the other side of the door, they get attacked by a group of turtle monsters again just that this time one with a crown was with them.

Kieron then takes Lightbringer out and shouts, "I have enough of you all."

He rams the spear into the ground making spears of light penetrate the turtle monsters from below killing them while making Tifa say, "Don't you think you went overboard."

"Maybe a little," says Kieron as his spear disappears into the void for the two newcomers.

"Where does your weapon go all the time? I can see that your sisters are having them either in their pockets or beside their hip. But yours just disappears," says Cloud as Tifa was curious too.

"I have a pocket dimension if we say it simply. The real explanation might have to wait for when we have more time," says Kieron as he picked Cloud up again to fly to the other side of the water while the others did the same.

"How comes you can fly in the air?" asks Tifa curiously.

"Because of the Ki. We are using it to fly but we could also use chakra to pass the water but that would be too dangerous since we don't know if there are still monsters under the water surface," says Yui as she was carrying Tifa.

"So Ki can be used for many things then," says Tifa as Yui couldn't deny nor agree with her.

"Ki can be used for many things but mostly it is used to fight since it can strengthen your body making it stronger the more ki you have. If you meet my parent you will know what I mean if they were to use Ki they can attain Godhood for the duration of the fight and before you ask I don't know how. I still haven't knocked on that door," says Yui as they landed.

A ladder was on that side as they climbed it more turtle-like monsters appeared and Kieron says, "Make fast it shouldn't take me long to catch up to you all."

But Nora had another idea as she rammed her sword into the ground making two knights appear and she says, "Galahad and Tristan cover us."

The Knights nod as Nora takes her brother by the shoulder and says, "Move we are going."

"Fine," says Kieron a little bordered that Nora used her Knights to cover their retreat.

Once out of the canalization they find the night sky looking at them before looking around when Tifa says, "We are on the Train Graveyard."

"Is that bad?" asks Kieron before Cloud could.

"It depends if you believe in the stories they tell of it. They say that no one returns from it after entering at night. They also say that ghosts live here and take your souls to join them," says Tifa as the trio was now on alert when Cloud notice them.

"Why are you on alert?" asks Cloud as the trio's eyes turned red with tomoes inside making Cloud nervous as he looked into them.

"Because of the Ghosts. They are quite real," says Nora as she had to confront some ghosts before in the time chamber thanks to Jack.

"Ghosts are real?" asks Tifa as she was pale from hearing that.

"Yes, pretty much. They normally haunt mortals to prank us but not to harm us but just to play. Those that want to hurt mortals are evil spirits that want to eat your soul," says Nora as they advanced slowly through the Train Graveyard.

And like Nora said they were pranked by spirits that were showing them the way. They might have to fight here and there against rat and centipede monsters but that wasn't really the challenge.

"What were those knights from earlier?" asks Aerith as she wasn't really afraid of the ghost right now because of her protectors.

"They are my guardians. They see me as their Queen because I am the only one able to swing this sword. There are twelve souls in the sword that swore to serve the wielder of the sword for all eternity," says Nora as Aerith knew about the knights but not their origin.

"So anyone that has that sword could summon them. Aren't you afraid that someone might steal it from you?" asks Tifa as Nora smiles at her.

"Here try it," says Nora as she held her sword out to Tifa when Cloud suddenly tries to pick it up and fell with the sword once Nora took her hands from the sword.

"Why can't I lift the sword?" asks Cloud as he was on the ground.

"No one can swing that sword even if I were to make a copy of it, trust me I tried," says Kieron as he told the trust he copied Excalibur before and he still couldn't move the sword as it was on the ground.

Nora has the copy inside Justice for the day she might need to use it. Nora then picks her sword back up as she says, "This sword is my destined sword."

"How about we continue," says Yui when suddenly Shinra Helicopters overflew them. They were flying towards the Slums of Sector 7.

"We should hurry. I have a bad feeling about why they are flying towards the slums," says Cloud as everyone nods and they continue on their way.
