Yuna stepped back slightly when the woman began to yell and ask very confusing questions. "Cloud?" Yuna mumbled holding a hand near her head as if the strange people were making ti jump straight from her chest. She looked to both of them her expression still in shock. "This is Zanarkand... " she replied looking up at the ruins. " Can i ask who you are?"
-----------------------------------------
Balthier heard a little commotion when he began to approach the church. The door was slightly open so he pushed it only lightly to allow it to creak the rest of the way. Near the doorway was a short brunette woman who held a staff in her hand, while across from her was another short male with bright blonde spiky hair and dark clothing, a sword hidden behind his back. "Uhh, sorry to interrupt but could you dear people tell me what city this is?" He asked as he leaned on the door frame.

---------------------------------------------------+-Sephiroth-+----------------------------------------------------- It seemed that Zack was completely unaware of everything Sephiroth was. It was like looking into the past, watching a movie repeating his past, and mixing with Seph's own present, much to the audience's confusion. But it wasn't just them confused, as he and apparently Zack were also confused. Not to mention the people alongside them. It seemed the blonde and energetic guy, whilst quite similar to Zack in personality; was quite out of place as far as his clothes went.
I mean, who wore such a rag-tag array of clothes? There were no Midgarian's who wore such silly clothes. Not even those in the slums had such poor taste.
The scarred young man had voiced his disassociation by not knowing the location. That helped none of them.
-----------------------------------------------------+-Tidus-+------------------------------------------------------- Either he was being ignored, or they just didn't find him interesting enough to pay any attention too. Those were pretty much the same, weren't they? But oh well, fur and leather seemed as lost as he himself was. So, leather-trench and purple jumpsuit knew each other. Fur and leather seemed to know neither of them, so he turned his attention to him.
"Nice to meet ya. I'm star player of the Zanarkand Abes. Blitzball's hero." he gave his introduction, placing his hands on his hips and standing as though he was further advertising his 'awesomeness'.
-----------------------------------------------------+-Squall-+------------------------------------------------------ He didn't pay much attention to the other leather-clad man, when his friend came over, quickly gaining his attention. Obviously they weren't too fussed as to where it was they actually where. It seemed goldilocks wanted to strike up a conversation.
"I'm Squall." he stated, void of emotion or any form of care, giving a glare that said "And I care who you are...why?"
But what the hell was 'Blitzball'? He wasn't going to ask, for the very simple fact that he'd get chatty, and Squall didn't want that. It'd just be more background noise he'd need to try and block-out. He then looked back out at the water, wondering again who that Sorceress looking woman was.
-----------------------------------------------------+-Zidane-+------------------------------------------------------ One of the girl's seemed completely disconcerted. She seemed to be having a mild freak-out, about not being with some guy named Cloud? What kind of tool name was Cloud?
"By chance...were you somewhere else a moment ago, and now you're suddenly here? I had the same thing. I was just in a castle looking for someone I was asked to...uh...release from captivity, but then found my head spinning, and here I was."
He stood in the view of both the girls, trying to show he was friendly. Very friendly.
"My name's Zidane. Maybe we could all help each other?" he said smiling gently.
----------------------------------------------------+-Genesis-+------------------------------------------------------ He had been watching the chaos unfold only a moment ago; as his clone's wrought destruction and terror upon Shin-Ra. They had had it coming. He needed to find and eliminate Hojo. That scientist was what stood between him and Hollander curing him of the degradation. He flew over-head, keeping an eye on the mess unfolding below, quoting LOVELESS to himself.
But then he closed his eyes, and all felt different. The wind had changed, and the location had brightened, as though to early evening, rather than late at night. That had changed? Then, he opened his eyes; disgusted by the sight before him.
He was no longer watching the assualt on Shin-Ra, but was rather thrust into a location he didn't know. A castle lay before him, wrapped in darkness on a floating chunk of rock, that was chained to the ground by several massive chains, much like what you would see on a prisoner chained to one place.
"Though the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return. To become the dew that quenches the land, to spare the sands, the seas, the skies. I offer thee this silent sacrifice." he quoted from the back of his mind.
"Now, where shall I find myself?" he wondered, landing gracefully on the stone steps into the castle entrance; the door's wide open. He entered carelessly, sword in hand.
He went deep into the expanses of the castle and soon came face to face with a winged woman, odd tattooes on her face; her look discomforting. She had some common traits that dissuaded him of his certainty to enter.
"And who may you be?" he asked, not at all caring that this was clearly her realm. Her home...or her prison.

Tifa seemed a little too nervous at first as both the man and woman present voiced their confusion and offered friendly words. Slowly she lowered her fists, seeming to calm a little, but she still wanted to know where Cloud had gone... "Z-Zanarkand?" She breathed, frowning over at the strange tailed-man, "Somewhere else...?" She gripped her head, 'What could have happened?"
------------------------
"Uh...." Zack mused nervously, suddenly remembering he was in the presence of THE Sephiroth. "Permission to express sheer bewilderment sir?" He asked, blinking first at the two others on the beach, then finally around at the beach itself, "I was in the training simulator a minute ago..."
----------------------------------
Cloud frowned, pausing and turning as Aerith begged him to stay for a moment, why the sudden change of mind? "I'm Cloud..." He begun, but before he could say anything further a newcomer burst into the church. Without thinking he leaped forward, Buster Sword hastily drawn and in hand as he placed himself defensively between Aerith and the stranger. "Who are you??" He demanded hastily, anxious about Aerith's safety.

Aerith gasped quietly as the blonde 'Cloud' quickly drew his weapon. She felt a short head-spin. He seemed somewhat... similar to him. The sword, the stance, the readiness to protect her... She shook her head, gathering her thoughts. No good to fall into that mindset again. Hesitantly, she moved forward a little, reaching out with a delicate hand to touch Cloud's arm lightly. "Easy... Cloud," she said in a soft tone. She looked up to the strangely-clad man in the doorway. He hadn't done anything threatening. Yet. "You're in Midgar sir. Sector Five." She seemed a little confused. "Are you a tourist?" It seemed strange that anyone would want to travel to Midgar for leisure at all...

Balthier stepped back slightly when a male drew a large sword. He put his arms up as a smirk grew on his face. "Easy there, you could poke an eye out with that thing...." He shrugged looking at the size of the weapon. "or worse." Looking to the woman who seemed a little more welcoming as she answered his question. Midgar? what the.... "you could say that" Balthier replied lowering his hands. He had never heard of this city before and never been here, which was very strange to the sky pirate. He looked to the blonde male and smiled slightly. He seemed very stiff and protective of the girl. " So sorry to intrude.. obviously you two were..." Balthier rolled his wrist trying to think. " busy..".
------------------------------------
Yuna was getting more confused. The words which the male with the tail spoke were strange. " There are no castles in Spira.. only temples" Yuna replied. She switched her eyes between the two people and tilted her head. Somehow this all seemed so familiar. Strange people from other places, coming to Spira. It reminded her of him, it reminded her of how he was from a strange land that no longer existed. Perhaps these people were just like him. Yuna suddenly got really excited about these new comers.

---------------------------------------------------+-Sephiroth-+----------------------------------------------------- Sephiroth was stunned. Zack was asking for his permission? Zack never did that before. He knew the SOLDIER respected him almost as much as he respected his mentor, Angeal, but in the time that Sephiroth and Zack knew each other, and had worked together; Zack never once asked for Sephiroth's permission. He knew Zack was shaken up by Angeal's defection; but he didn't expect Zack to develop dual personalities: one coping with promotion, and his mentor's defection, and one that was during his training under Angeal.
"Zack...when I last saw you, I was sending you to Modeoheim, to track down Hollander. Our fight against Shin-Ra to protect our friends; isn't over." he was sure none of these other people were Shin-Ra employee's, as none of them wore the SOLDIER or Shin-Ra emblems.
Hell, the way they looked; they didn't even look like the knew what Shin-Ra was in the first place. He turned his attention to the man named Squall.
"What is it you do?" he asked, curious to learn something about these odd fellows; because Blitzball was something he was not in the least bit familiar with. There was something strange going around.
"Actually; was anyone else just somewhere different? Zack here, says he was in our Simulation room, but at Shin-Ra. I was just at Junon, giving Zack a new directive." it seemed to him, that they all had a common factor; if his hunch was correct, of course...but they were all moved from someplace else.
What was going on?
-----------------------------------------------------+-Zidane-+------------------------------------------------------ No castles? What? Only temples? Okay, that meant Zidane was MILES from Alexandria, in the least. Spira? Was that the continent? Well, he wasn't too fussed as he was in the company of two very delicious looking ladies. Sadly, one seemed to have been with some guy named Cloud, that was a shame. But the other chickadee...he scanned her with his eyes briefly, careful to not be caught in the act. She was attractive, no doubt about that, but she seemed...a tad confused.
Actually, now he thought about it; he was pretty confused himself, and he supposed that the both of them, not just the one was confused.
"So uh...yeah...what are your names? Maybe we can all help one another out?" he posed, trying to get them to follow suit. He'd introduced himself, after all. He didn't want to look silly. He looked strange enough, being the only person he knew to have a tail in all of Gaia.

Cloud backed down a little as Aerith urged him to be calm. He didn't lower his weapon yet though, not trusting this stranger to be around his friend without protection... his heart was filled with fear. "There aren't many tourists in Midgar..." Cloud said stiffly, backing off to let Aerith have some space to talk to this man. He had nothing to say to him.
--------------------------------------
Tifa was very slow to respond to the male's question. She was still uncertain about where she was... she was already horribly missing Cloud. Where could he be? "Tifa." She said in a rushed voice, "Tifa Lockhart." She brushed anxiously at a lock of her long dark hair, "I just want to go home..."
---------------------
Zack blinked at Sephiroth completely bewildered, what was he talking about? "Modeohiem? Never been there.... and Hollander?" He rubbed the back of his head, "Whose Hollander?" He glanced at the newcomers, wondering the same as Sephiroth what was going on. They certainly didn't look like SOLDIERs, or Shinra men of any sort to be frank.

Aerith frowned a little at Cloud's tone. Was there any particular reason he was being so hostile to this man? At least he wasn't intruding and sleeping in her church... She turned her attention to the newcomer. "Oh no we weren't--" She shook her head. "I wasn't busy." She took a step forward, clasping her hands in front of herself. "Are you passing through? Do you need some help?" she asked with a sweet smile.

Balthier shook his hand in response to the womans question for help. "There be no need for much, just wondering where in Ivalice I be?" He asked politely, giving a small grin. He was standing his hands by his side and weight slightly leaned on his left leg.
-------------------------------------
Yuna slowly began to walk up closer to the two people, though her eyes still curious. "Yuna" She spoke to the tailed man, not giving her proper entitlement, she did not think it necessary. Her voice was soft and calm with a tone that had no evidence of fear in it. " Where do you live in Spira? I might be able to help you" Yuna spoke to the dark haired woman that was dressed all in black.

---------------------------------------------------+-Ultimecia-+----------------------------------------------------- The Time Compression had been successful, she realised. But now she realised something was terribly different. It wasn't so much time that had compressed, but more to the point; space itself. Timelines for a variety of people had compressed, and altered; this she knew from encountering Squall during a very strange circumstance on a beach. But now she herself had changed.
She realised a great portion of her sanity had returned, which was unnerving. She remembered everything she had done, everything she had accomplished. She was sane now, and all her plots and plans were coming into the light, and not even she herself could understand them. Perhaps, she could still perform them as she had planned, and they would make sense later on.
Within her Castle, nestled high above the orphanage, she rested upon her throne. Darkness wavered around her body, as though correcting that which was broken. Some of her features were bruised, bloody and snapped. The fight against Squall and his company had been trying, leaving her quite physically wounded.
It was then, during her recovery, that a strange looking man with a single black wing, and a long red coat. He asked bluntly, who she was, though she knew, that he knew it was clearly her domain he had trespass upon.
"I, am Ultimecia. Who, are you?" she responded coldly, her voice startlingly calculative. She remembered how she must have sounded in her insanity, and was even surprised by her own voice. "Why have you come to this place?" she sounded stern and tense.
What business did this man have in her castle?

Cloud gradually put his weapon away and made his way over to where he'd left his stuff, packing it all up quietly while Aerith and this newcomer spoke. He wasn't quite sure what was going on, but he was pretty certain he couldn't just go home to Tifa and the kids... potentially for more than just the obvious reason. As he was packing his bedroll and assorted other camping supplies into the strange metal crate he had with him, he also withdrew a number of brightly coloured orbs from the very large stash he had, pocketing them. I get the impression the world outside those doors is going to be very different... I wont be able to lug ALL of this around with me. Still paying no mind to the strange man and the woman who now haunted his reality rather than his nightmares, he lifted the heavy box effortlessly and headed for the church door.
-------------------------------------------------------
Tifa looked completely confused, a hand moving up to brush at her black fringe, a golden ring on her wedding finger glinting in the eerie light. S-Spira? W-what's that?"

Aerith looked confused. "Ivalice?" Maybe she had misheard. "I've never heard of..." She trailed off when she looked to Cloud for assistance, seeing he was leaving again. "Hey, where are you going?" she asked, urgency in her voice.

Yuna paused.. confused more by the woman. " Spira is the planet? " Yuna looked around but no one else was there but them.
--------------------------------
Balthier was waiting for more information from the girl.. but that was it. " Are you playing with me?" he laughed slightly but frowned afterwards. Perhaps the girl didn't know anything... perhaps she was just unknowledgable? "Uhh what about this? Have you seen my mate, she stands about...." Balthier tried to measure Frans height above his head before just shrugging. " She is a viera.. you know tall, white hair, long ears? It seems she jumped ship"

-----------------------------------------------------+-Tidus-+------------------------------------------------------- Tidus felt slighted by fur's non-responsiveness, so he took it upon his own volition to be the first to voice a response to leather's question. "I was just on my way to Luca. We were traveling by boat, it rocked, and I ended up in the water. From what I remember, I was nowhere near the shoreline, but I ended up surfacing here." he jumped up and down a few times, before recovering his stance. It was just getting boring in this crowd.
-----------------------------------------------------+-Squall-+------------------------------------------------------ Squall carefully calculated his response to the question the leather-clad man posed, and decided it wouldn't be harmful to answer that. He looked toward him, and opened his mouth - before being cut-off by blondie. Glaring at the tanned, blonde man, he waited for him to shut his trap, and responded with his own.
"We're currently on the beach near Balamb Garden. At least, that's what it looks like to me." he looked into the distance, expecting to see the lights of the town of Balamb in one direction, and the fancy light-show the Garden itself gave off. He looked in every direction. But, found no sign of either location. "Hmm..strange. I don't see the Garden."
Were they all moved somewhere? It was then that Sephiroth's earlier question struck him. "And yes; I was just moments ago, informed by my headmaster that I was going to be promoted to SeeD. I'm a mercenary." he answered. ---------------------------------------------------+-Sephiroth-+----------------------------------------------------- Zack wasn't the only one misplaced. It seemed that so were the boys. Squall, the mercenary from a group known as 'SeeD', this...Tidus character, a player of a sport called 'Blitzball'? Neither he had ever heard of, so it was uncomprehending to him. But they shared a common trait: They were all somewhere else, before.
"So, we know we were all somewhere else before now. And suddenly we are all here. Something's going on." he turned to Zack. "Where I just was; you were heading to Modeoheim under my orders. Hollander has caused trouble that has afflicted and affected the SOLDIER's known to us as Angeal and Genesis, and they have defected. You and I were trying to find out why. Genesis was dead, by all records, and Angeal...same status. We believed different." here, he turned to Tidus. "You claim to be a player of "Blitzball", and neither Zack nor I know the sport." then to Squall. "You, a SeeD. A mercenary. Likewise: never heard of it."
He looked thoughtful for a moment. Then: "I have no answers for us. But perhaps we should stick together, till we work things out?" he suggested.

Tifa frowned, looking just generally confused. "I thought... the planet was called Gaia?"
-----------------------------------
Cloud stopped when Aerith called to him, giving her a fairly blank expression in reply. "Uh... away?" He offered with a shrug, "Somewhere." He then turned his gaze onto the stranger, beginning to think he wasn't the only one losing their mind here. "A human... with long ears?" He seemed deeply skeptical.
--------------------------------
Zack blinked in a bewildered fashion. "Modeohiem? Hollander...? And what do you mean Angeal's dead!? Don't mess with my head man, he was running my simulation only a few minutes ago!"
--------------------------------
