Yuffie Kisaragi

"We should just take them as prisoners and take them to Junon?" asks the blonde woman as Rude became stiff from hearing that.

Tseng didn't know why since the reports only stated that he was defeated by them not how. But by seeing Rude stiffening up like that made it clear that they weren't pushovers.

"We aren't here for them, Elena. Reno is with another group searching for Sephiroth somewhere else. We should leave and extend our search to the western and northern continents," says Tseng as he walks away without looking back when Elena follows promptly while Rude gives a slight bow before leaving.

"It seems they are looking for our enemy," says Nesiara as they see them leave.

"We should concentrate on our comrades' training," says John as Nesiara nods.

They looked at the tunnel the three Turks left and found the exit when Nesiara says, "Well we secured the exit but we will train for two days as John said before."

The group sighs as they felt exhausted when Kieron says, "Remember we are doing it for your own good."

They stayed for two days in the Mythril Mine to train before continuing on their journey as they leave the cave feeling light hit their skin after two days.

They could see a forest right in front of them while John was looking in another way. Some turned their direction as John says, "That must be Fort Condor over there."

"That thing with the giant bird?" asks Tifa as Nesiara nods.

"Yes, it's said that it's the only one ever seen and it's protecting an egg. Making it obvious that there need to be more of them somewhere else," says Nesiara as she knew about Fort Condor.

"Do we have to go there?" asks Barret as John shakes his head.

"That's optional on if you want to fight Shinra," says John as Barret already made his mind up.

"We are going. I won't miss an opportunity to kick Shinra's ass," says Barret as wanted to leave already making everyone sighs.

"Barret remember that we are still wanted by Shinra even if the Turks didn't fight us, doesn't mean the Shinra troops won't," says Tifa as Cloud and Red XIII had to agree with Tifa.

"What will happen to the Giant Bird if we don't help?" asks Aerith naively as John didn't have a good look on his face.

"They might kill it and destroy the egg since Shinra's troops seem endless while the people fighting against them have a limited amount of people," says John changing the minds of the three that agreed of leaving it alone.

"We are going," says Tifa seriously as she was furious about what Shinra wanted to do.

"Well, you all will be going," says John as they Chocobos appeared in front of them. They were well-rested and didn't seem to be hungry when John and Nesiara mounted their Chocobos.

"We will be going into the forest over there. We will reunite at the coast near Junon," says Nesiara as all looked suspicious at them when Nesiara says, "We are only going to get a person that could help us in our quest."

"Do we really want to know it. Let's just go to Fort Condor and help them against Shinra," says Barret as he mounted his Chocobo before riding toward the south the others follow him while John and Nesiara ride to the west to the forest nearby.

"Do you think we will find her here?" asks Nesiara as John was using the Force to scan the forest.

"A human is nearby, so yes she should be here," says John as he was quite sure as they rode through the forest.

They didn't even waste too much time as they encounter her sooner than expected. She was wielding a Giant Shuriken as she stopped both in their tracks.

"Give me all your Materia and I will let you leave," says the girl as she pointed the Shuriken at them when John and Nesiara smiled at her when she asks, "Why are you smiling?"

"Because you are pretty loud for a Ninja," says a feminine voice behind the girl as the girl was suddenly stiff when a male laugh sounded as well behind her.

She turned around and sees the same people that were riding on the Chocobos behind her as she asks, "How is that possible?"

"Look closer," says Nesiara as she points at the Chocobos when the turned into smoke while the Chocobos were still standing there.

"What was that?" says the girl as she falls over hitting the ground with her rear making John laugh again.

"Now girl how about you calm down," says Nesiara as the girl suddenly had some black balls in her hand and threw them at the ground.

Smoke rose and the girl used that opportunity to escape only to find John already at her hideout taking a look at all the Materia she already stole from other people.

"You seem to have a good business here," says John as the girl throws her shuriken at John who catches it and says, "But you still need some training, Yuffie Kisaragi."

"How do you know my name?" asks Yuffie as she walked back towards the entrance of her hideout while facing John only to touch with her head something soft.

She looks up and sees Nesiara and jumps forward now between both when Nesiara says, "We want to recruit you in our fight against Shinra."

"You are fighting Shinra?" asks Yuffie as she wasn't buying it.

"Haven't you heard President Shinra died some days before. We were there when it happened. But Shinra is only one of our enemies," says John now as Yuffie turned to him.

"And why do you want to recruit me if you are that good?" asks Yuffie as she was trying to grab something.

"It's because of this," says John as a book appears in his hand.

Yuffie sees the book and the title said 'Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children' and she asks, "What has that book to do with me?"

"Just read it," says Nesiara smiling at her as John throws it at her.

She catches it and opens the book and begins to read it when John walks over and says, "You appear more in the back part of it."

He shows her the part as she says, "It could be any Yuffie on Gaia."

"And every Yuffie is a maniac about Materia and wields a Giant Shuriken. Who do you want to fool," says John as he looked at the pile of Materia that Yuffie already collected.

"Alright, but why I?" asks Yuffie as she wasn't understanding it when John sighs while Nesiara smiles.

"It's because you are one of the chosen heroes of Gaia," says Nesiara as she walked forwards to Yuffie.

"I'm a Thief, not some hero," says Yuffie as Nesiara hugs her.

"You are a hero even if you don't know it yet," says Nesiara as John petted her head as well.

"And what is proof of that?" asks Yuffie as John pointed at the pile of Materia.

"That over there is good enough to prove it. But we get going so you meet your other comrades," says John as Nesiara releases Yuffie while John takes the Materia away surprising Yuffie who was now angry.

"Ah! My Materia! You Demon give them back!" shouts Yuffie angry as John pets her to calm her down.

"You will get them back when we are in Wutai. Our Journey will take us there eventually," says John as Yuffie calms down.

"I hope you hold your word even if I really want it somewhere written to remind you of it," says Yuffie as both adults laughed at her.

"Jack would like you to have you in his company most likely," says Nesiara as she saw how Jack makes deals.

"Anyway, who is the second enemy you haven't mentioned yet?" asks Yuffie curiously.

"The man that killed President Shinra, Sephiroth," says Nesiara as Yuffie dropped the book she was holding.

"You must be kidding!" shouts Yuffie as both shake their head.

"Not one bit," says John seriously.

"I'm out," says Yuffie making both laugh again.

"Don't worry when we face him you will be far stronger than he, trust us. Our son fought him already and defeated him easily," says Nesiara as Yuffie looked at them in disbelief.

"How about this if we haven't convinced you before arriving at Wutai you can leave our group of comrades," says John as Yuffie looked at him.

"Deal but I still get my Materia back," says Yuffie as John nods making Yuffie pick the book back up and hands it over to John who gives her shuriken back.

"Alright then, pack your things we will be waiting outside," says John as he leaves to get their Chocobos to send them back to Paradise when Thor appears instead of them.

Thor was quite confused as he wasn't on his snow-clothed mountain when he sees John who says, "You will be out mount for a day or two, Thor."

Thor roars in agreement while scaring Yuffie who was still packing when she says, "That can't be Behemoths don't live around here."

"Yuffie calm down. The Behemoth is friendly," says Nesiara knowing that the Behemoth had to be the one that John caught in the underground lab.

Yuffie had her things packed up as she looked down to see the Behemoth while John was sitting on it's back when she asks, "Is it really safe?"

"Thor is a tamed Behemoth. He won't do anything to you," says John as both Yuffie and Nesiara jumped onto the back of Thor.

"Fang won't be pleased when he finds out," says Nesiara with a smile while Yuffie looked confused.

"Neither will Jinx when she finds out about the Chocobos," says John as he was seeing both's faces in front of him.

"Who are Fang and Jinx?" asks Yuffie curiously.

"Our pets," says Nesiara as Thor begins to move towards Junon while Nesiara says, "I hope the others don't take long to get to there."

Suddenly the Condor was flying with it young over their head when John says, "They must be on their way."
