Hurt and wondering (open)

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa was fighting off some kind of wolf like creatures. Using the only weapon she had she was getting really beat up. Rinoa began to use the powers she had which was able to stop a couple of them but not all. As she kept fighting Rinoa was flipping around trying to doge them trying to get away. Each time she would run they would follow her. As she kept using the weapon on her arm to stop a few of them it wasn't enough.

Taking a deep breath Rinoa looked up into the sky and soon she was floating up as her angel wings appeared. With that power she could stop the monsters that were after her. Taking them all down Rinoa landed on the ground trying to keep control of her self.

Once she got control of her self Rinoa looked around and found a cave. Trying to walk Rinoa found her self falling. Looking at her self she noticed she was hurt pretty badly. Closing her eyes she had her wings do the work.

As she got into the cave Rinoa looked around and was shocked to see what was all around. How pretty this place. Her wings vanished as soon as she got into the cave.

Leaning against the wall she began to walk till she found something weird. Getting closer she found a human in ice. Rinoa tilted her head and was in shock. "How did any one get like this?" Rinoa asked out loud. Not being able to walk any more she sat to the floor and sat there.

Vincent Valentine, a man of sorrow and pain stood there in the cave Looking up at Lucrecia Crescent. A woman he had once fallen in love with. "Lucrecia..." he muttered before hearing the sounds of fighting from outside.

"hmm?" Fiends were quite common in these parts, Someone must have been fighting some. But the only way one would be able to get to the cave in the first place is either by submarine or by flying.

and just as quickly as he'd herd the fighting begin, it was gone being replaced by footsteps entering the Cave. Fleeing behind one of the large Mako crystals he watched as a woman entered the cave.

(Who is she?) Vincent thought to himself as he placed his hand upon his gun, Cerberus and waited. Many people liked to come here and take bits and pieces of the Mako crystal that surrounded his dear Lucrecia.

When the stranger simply sat upon the cave floor he tilted his head curiously. was she only here to rest? Deciding she wasn't a threat, Vincent stepped out from the hiding spot. "your new here..." he spoke with his normal deep, velvety smooth voice.

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa heard foot steps had heard someone talk. Getting up Rinoa had her weapon ready to attack. When he spoke Rinoa nodded and put her weapon down "Yeah I'm new here." Rinoa sat back down closing her eyes "I'm Rinoa by the way."

Rinoa figured if he was going to kill her he would have done it already. "I didn't mean to bother you at all. I just needed a place to hid at least to rest till I'm strong enough." Looking at him Rinoa smiled "And who are you?" Rinoa asked. She new she shouldn't be smiling but it was in her nature to act that way a smiling girl.

[vincent]

Keeping his had upon Cerberus, Vincent stood in somewhat of a fighting stance, one that kept him ready in case she attacked, yet not allow her to see he was on guard. Hearing her speak her name, Vincent simply nodded, signaling he was listening.

He didn't know wither he should speak his own name or not, but she seemed harmless enough. "Vincent..." he spoke in a almost too quiet of a voice as he walked towards her. "It's fine..." he spoke. "no fiends enter this cave...I assume the mako energy bugs them too much...though I can't be for sure..."

Looking back at Lucrecia he sighed, normally when he came here, it was so he could be alone, but being lonely wasn't the case today now was it. "how did you get to the cave?" he asked. "I didn't hear the roar of a plane engine...or the bubbling of a submarine..."

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa looked at him with a small smile "Its nice to meet you Vincent." Rinoa got up once again and placed her back against the wall. "Mako energy?" Rinoa new for sure she was not in her own world any more "Why is she in this state? Can doctors here not fix this?" Rinoa looked at the girl and wondered what had happened and wondered if he would tell her.

"How I got into this place. Well I was fighting some kind of wolf monster thing. Killed them got hurt and well in the fight I got wings and I flew up here." Rinoa talked as if that was a normal thing. "Its not the safe way to do things but when I have to do things it has to get done."

[vincent]

When the girl spoke again Vincent simply tilted his head in a nod before crossing his arms, the claws of his metal gauntlet tapping on his arm. When she stood his eyes locked on her again, he looked at her like a predator watched it's prey.

He didn't quite mean to look at her like that, but it was just how Vincent was. Placing the hand with the metal Gauntlet upon a Mako crystal sticking up out of the Cave floor he clicked the gauntlet against it.

"Mako...is the liquid form of the Planet's Lifestream in...and the primary energy source used throughout the world....except Wutai and other rural areas." he explained, "The Lifestream can be condensed into Materia or Mako Stones....." he spoke once again. "they give us the magic we use..."

Looking at her after explaining what Mako energy was to her he rose an eyebrow, "are you not from around the Gaia area?" he asked. When she asked her question he shook his head, "I'm not sure..." he answered. "I haven't asked...."

"you flew?" he asked. its not like flying was a strange thing, he had Chaos within him after all. but a normal looking person? where was her wings? did she have a creature-like form as well?

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa shook her finger at him. A triad mark she was known for. “Its not nice to look at someone like that.” Looking hat his foot and hand. “What happened to your hand and your foot?” Once she asked that question he began to talk about the Mako. Hearing the power thing she began to think about that.

“Can Mako help control powers?” If Rinoa could actually figure a way to control herself when she used her power with the angel wings it would be a great thing. “So nobody here is born with powers?” Rinoa kept thinking this place was weird.

“Well I’m from a place called Deling City; Timber. Do you know where that is?” Rinoa figured maybe if she told him where she was from he would be able to help her a little. “You never asked? Why not I mean there should be someone who could help her in a way.” Rinoa looked at her “How did she get like this?”

“Yeah I flew. I have white wings.” Turning around she showed him the white wings on her back. “They kind of look like those just more real like.” Rinoa looked back at him. “Its my more powerful weapon really. I just really can’t control myself when I’m in that form. So I have to be careful on who I’m around when I’m using it.”

[vincent]

Looking away Vincent cleared his throat, "sorry..." he muttered, "Its a habit..." he spoke before noticing her looking at his Hand and Foot, the ones covered in metal to be precise. What would he tell her? Oh i died by getting shot by a mad scientist and was brought back in the basement of the ShinRa mansion only to wake up with a monster named Chaos inside me? that wouldn't go by too well if he had said all that to her, so instead he shortened it, "I was a Turk of Midgar once...they are battle wounds..."

He was still telling the truth, just not the whole truth, "Some...yes..." he spoke as he began to think about the Protomateria within his chest. The very thing that allows one to tap into the power of omega and chaos and control the creatures.

Vincent Shook his head as his long wild hair flowed over his shoulders, "I'm not familiar with the name..." he spoke before hearing her speak again. "she did this to herself....as a self inflicted punishment...she believed she deserved it after...." he stopped, painful memories began to plague him.

Vincent closed his eyes hearing Lucrecia's words whisper in his mind, 'I'm so sorry' they were sad, tear filled words he would hear every time he entered this cave. A saddened look came across his face as he once again looked at Lucrecia, (Will you ever let my heart free?) he thought to himself with a sigh.

Looking back at Rinoa, her words broke him from his thoughts, good thing too, or else he may have gone into another brooding emo mood where he refused to talk or move from whatever dark corner he could find.

"hmm? white wings?" he chuckled picturing white wings, but all that would come to his mind was chaos and his own torn looking demonic wings causing him to frown. Chaos and Lucrecia were the only things he could ever think of, and sometimes it was hard to even get out of the house.

Watching her turn he tilted his head when she showed him the wings, "is it some sort of magic ability?" he asked before hearing her speak of the uncontrollable actions when used. Vincent sighed again, it was just like chaos. "I know how that is..."

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa nodded “Don’t be sorry its fine. We all do something that is out of habit. Hearing him as he told her how he got hurt Rinoa nodded “What is a Turk? Is that some kind of force?” Looking at them once again she looked up into his eyes. “I’m sorry that it happened to you.” Out of all the fights she had been into she always got lucky. Either she was strong enough or she got saved from someone.

She began to think. “I wonder if it could help me. But I don’t have powers like what you said. Mine were born with me for I think.” Rinoa said with a smile “But maybe I could try one day.” Rinoa looked at the lady once again. Getting up she walked slowly to the lady and touched the crystal. It felt weird on her touch and looked at him. “It feels kind of weird.”

“I guess I’m not from here. I came from a portal actually. I dunno why I never saw it before till that day I walked through it.” Seeing his pain she nodded “Its understandable. You loved her didn’t you? Maybe I can figure a way to get her out of there. That’s if you can trust me.”

“What is wrong with white wings? There is nothing wrong with white wings is there?” Rinoa looked at him. “Magic I guess you can call it that. A while back I gained sorceress powers. But I do got magic though when I fight I do use it when my weapon does not help.” Looking at him “You can not control your self?”

[vincent]

There were a lot of things Vincent did out of habit, the way he looks at people, his grunting sounds he makes, his emoness, ok well that was more of an emotional thisg but sometimes even when happy he still looks dark and dreary.

"I guess you could say that....Shinra is a company in Midgar and the Turks work for the president of the company...the turks are stronger the the SOLDIERS that work for Shinra...so they are more like...Right hand men and women..." he wans't really good at explaining things about Shinra that well, he'd always tried to push those memories aside.

Taking in a silent breath he looked away, "I's fine....I've had many years to learn to live with it..." maybe he shouldn't have said that, would she ask his age next? one would see he looks to be 27, but would he really tell someone he was really about 57 years old?

Being born with these powers does sound quite different, "at least Vincent got to live 27 normal years before becoming a fearful creature, "sounds interesting..." he spoke, "but you'll have to look long and hard....these special kinds of Materia are very rare...not easy to come by..." Vincent was lucky when Lucrecia had found the protomateria, without it, Vincent would still have no control over the beast within him.

Vincent watched her as she approached Lucrecia's frozen form, "Lucrecia...." he muttered before looking at Lucrecia with a look only lovers would share. How he cared for her like no other, even after she encased herself in all of this mako. "Mako crystals aren't like Ice or gems...Mako comes from the lifestream" he sighed.

"Become too exposed to Mako energy and it makes you feel.....loopy....it's very bad for your health to become dowsed with it....but ShinRa SOLDIERS....when they first join they become showered in it...just enough to boost their strength...so if you ever see someone with eyes that look like they shine or glow...then it means they were exposed to it..."

Hearing her speak he was slightly shocked, yet he didn't let it show, too much. "You haven't given me a reason not to trust you...but her wish was to stay in there...I don't think she'd be too happy to be let out....that...and she Might have Mako Poisoning from being in there all these years...."

Looking at Rinoa again, chuckling he shook his head, "nothing is wrong with them...." he spoke, "just....envious....of them I guess..." he answered. "certain things I do...cause the..." he stopped, he didn't wanna speak of Chaos, it might awaken him. "I use to not be able to control my power....the rare materia i spoke of....one was given to me...its the protomateria...it controls the power of only two creatures...Chaos and omega..."

Feeling a painful spike in his chest he grunted slightly, not really wanting to wake the beast up inside him, he silenced himself before looking away.

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa nodded to what he said “Sort of understand Shinra I guess.” Rinoa looked at him “So its like the government right?” Rinoa just wanted to make sure she understood right. If she was going to be here long she would have to understand “Are they the bad guys? That is what I need to learn Vincent as well who not to trust here.” That was one thing she didn’t want. Is to trust the wrong person they learn about her power and try to do something to her.

“Many years..I’m sorry to hear that.” Looking down she looked back up to him “To bad the power of healing is not that of a common power.” Rinoa could heal people but she wasn’t sure if she could heal people who were hurt for a long time.

As she let her hand left the weird thing that was around the girl. “Lucrecia that is a pretty name and she really looks pretty.” Looking at the Mako crystals she looked back at him. “So why do people try to use this then? If it is not good for a person then why use them?” Rinoa was kind of confused but since she was not from here she had to learn what this place was about.

Rinoa smiled at him “Sorry I thought that me being from a different place not knowing me that you wouldn’t.” With shock she couldn’t believe anyone would want this. “So you must let her go then.” Rinoa looked at him “You seemed to really like her but if she is like this should you not move on?” Rinoa didn’t know him but from the look from him being here it had to be a reason.

“Why are you envious? There is nothing envious about it if you can’t use them without losing control of yourself.” Rinoa was really interested in this protomareria but she was not sure how it would affect her since she was not from here. “chaos and omega? Who are they? What does Materia do to a person?”

Looking at him she put a hand on his shoulder “Why are you in pain? Is there any thing I could do for you?” Rinoa looked at him

[vincent]

Nodding Vincent crossed his arms again, "sort of....though not very many people of Midgar really like them all that much..." he spoke with a slight growl deep in the back of his throat. "Rufus uses too much of the planet's resources....If you goto Midgar and see how much of a dump most of it is....you'll understand"

Shrugging his shoulders he sighed, "some think they are good because they help defend Midgar....some think their bad because of how they use the planet.....and their shady past in the science department...." he spoke as he lightly rubbed his arm that had the metal gauntlet.

"but those scientists...they are gone..." he sighed again as he gazed up at Lucrecia once again. How he despised Hojo for all he'd done. all of the pain and suffering he and his friends have all gone through, with Sephiroth and his freak clones. Vincent blamed it all on that blasted professor Hojo.

shaking his head he sighed, "I'ts fine...I've learned to deal with it..." he spoke giving a slight grin. Not too much though, cause smiling just wan't something Vincent normally did. "my friends say it makes me look.....unique..." he chuckled.

"Everything about her is beautiful...." he sighed, "she had a kindness....that I'd never seen before...much greater then any of the other scientists she worked with..." talking about her brought back both sweet, and sour memories.

"well..." he scratched the back of his head a bit before lowering his arm to break off a piece of the crystal's sticking out of the floor of the cave. "The raw Mako energy looks kind of like a Flowing green smoke...thats what's dangerous to be exposed to....a decent amount of it is okay...people just cant over do it..." he explained. "Kind of like a heavy drug....though the small amount of it gives people heightened strength..."

Holding out the broken piece of crystal he pointed at it with his other hand, "but when It's crystallized like this its okay....you can have it turned into materia...but with Lucrecia being inside of it....the raw energy if flowing around her..."

Vincent chuckled lightly feeling somewhat like a teacher, but that was okay, Marline had asked Vincent many questions about the planet before, so what would it hurt explaining these things a second time around.

Nodding before tossing the crystals aside he sighed before looking away, "yes...but Letting go is easier said then done...I never even got the chance to tell her how i felt...nor do i even know if she had feelings for me or not..." he spoke before shaking his head. He could feel Chaos slowly string from deep within him.

The room around them grew slightly chilly, and a little dark. Vincent could feel the darkness within him grow, but he tried his best to suppress it. "Materia...gives the power to use magic..." He explained feeling slightly winded and out of breath. "no...theres nothing..." letting out a loud yell, Vincent fell backwards, there was no stopping the beast now.

A red Energy surrounded Vincent, it swirled around him making it hard to see the man. Letting out a growl his wings extended. And as the Energy faded, Vincent no longer looked like the way he did before. His wings were large, red, devil-like wings. They looked worn and tattered. they had rips and holes in in some spots. All together he looked demonic with his sharp teeth and bright yellow eyes.

Quickly he wrapped his wings around himself before leaping behind a large Mako crystal to further hide his hideous form.

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa nodded “that’s understandable. I guess I’ll have to go to Migar one day then. To look at it maybe from there I can find someone who can help me to get back home.” Rinoa looked at him and shook her head “Using the planet is not such a good idea. Bad things always happen when people use the planet.”

Looking at the girl and back at him. “She does look pretty. Just I think that you can find someone else really. Someone who is alive and that can help you.” Rinoa didn’t like how this was going really. How that something could have happened so bad to one person? Live was never fair and she hated that it was never fair.

Rinoa saw what was happening to him and walked closer to see if he needed help. When he hid she moved her self “Please don’t hid from me. It’ll be okay.” She wasn’t scared of him nor would she ever be. Plus she had seen monsters before.

[vincent]

Vincent stayed behind the crystal, he hated the way he looked when Chaos Decided to show himself. Turning around he leaned his back against the crystal before sliding down to sit upon the floor, his knees pulled up to his chest.

"shes more then pretty....shes beautiful...and kind..." he sighed. "yet she hates herself for doing this to me...." he said shaking his head, "and this is the punishment for my sin..." he spoke. "I know I need to move on...but...who would want a monster like me?...." he asked.

Sitting there, he thought about times he decided to got for a walk around Midgar, how many girls had swooned over him and his good looks, his velvety voice, everything they saw or herd of him. "sure there are girls that like me..." he said before he cleared his throat, sometimes yuffie got too annoying with how much she liked him. "but who would accept this!"

Spreading his wings at full length he let out a monstrous roar before wrapping his wings tightly around himself. "nothing is okay until Chaos...." he tried to think of how to put chaos' dormant state, "back to sleep..."

[Rinoa Heartilly]

Rinoa was not liking the idea he was hiding himself. “Come on out Vincent. I don’t care what you look like in whatever form.” She was standing there tapping her feet. “This is not fair how should I learn about this place if you hide from me.”

“Vincent you’ll find someone who will not fear you. Do any of your friends fear you? Maybe someone in your friends would like you.” Rinoa didn’t like how some people stayed in the past. “Vincent as a human you are handsome but I you will not let me see you as this Chaos I could not tell you how you look as him.”

Rinoa could see the wings. “Come on out Vincent.” Closing her eyes she began to lift through the air and her white wings appeared. “Now come on out” Rinoa figured if she lost control any time soon he would be able to take her down. She figured since she was not fighting that the losing control part would not happen.
