Chapter 5

October 13, 8:30 P.M. ~Gongaga~(Zack's House)

*Zack is daydreaming in the living room*

*He sees a blurry figure standing on a foggy lake*

???: You're getting closer...

*The figure turns around but Zack can't make out the face*

???: You're getting closer...

*Zack squints his eyes*

Zack: Do I know you?

*The figure shakes its head*

???: No...You'll...never know me...But I've known you since you were very small...

Zack: I...can't see you very well...

???: I know...I'm not entirely completed now, but maybe by tomorrow...

Zack: What do you mean? I...I can't understand you...

*The figure turns around and slowly walks away*

Zack: Wait! Where are you going?

???: To the place where I'll meet you...where all with green-blue eyes were created. Your origin. I will wait eternity for you. The key...

*The figure fades away*

*Zack wakes up*

Zack: Wait! 'The key' what?

Cloud: What's up? It's like you're here in body, but not in spirit...

Zack: It's nothing...

Cloud: So you're saying it's nothing when you suddenly wake up and yell "Wait! The key what?"

Zack: ...

Cloud: So tell me.

*Rufus rushes in*

Rufus: That's right. I found this.

*Rufus shows them the Huge Materia*

Rufus: Tell me as well what two of the Turks are doing here.

Zack: Err...I think we'll need to get comfy for this one.

October 13, 9:00 P.M. ~Gongaga~(Zack's House)

*All three of them had grabbed a chair at the kitchen table*

Rufus: Both Tseng and Reno are here searching for me and something else as well. I'm not sure what they're looking for, but all I know is that someone probably tipped my father off that I was here.

Zack: ...I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you some of what you want to know.

Cloud: So we're asking you questions?

Zack: Fire away.

Rufus: All right then, question number one, why are Reno and Tseng here besides that fact that they're looking for me?

Zack: What you have there is a piece of the Huge Materia.

Cloud: Only a piece?! That's gigantic! How do you know about it?

Zack: The answer to question number two is...I don't know.

Cloud: What to do you mean you don't know?!

Zack: It just...comes to my head...the answers...I probably can't answer everything, but...

Rufus: Okay, okay, question number three. Why are you letting me follow you?

Cloud: Because you wanted to tag along, that's all.

Zack: No, it's because I've been having a strange 'dream', like someone is talking to me. It tells me to meet it "where all green-blue eyes were created"...I know that Cloud wants to go to Midgar and it's in that direction. But you needed to get to Gongaga and the Undersea Reactor, which may give me more clues as to where this 'person' is.

Cloud: ...

Zack: Which is kind of funny concluding that all three of us have 'green-blue' eyes.

*All three of them stare at each other's eyes*

Rufus: Well that's something I didn't notice.

*knock knock knock*

Tseng: Anyone in there?

Cloud: Oh jeez...who are they.

Rufus: No! Don't open the door. It's the two Turks.

Zack: We can jump out the window. Don't worry about the lights, they won't care if we leave them on.

*knock knock knock*

Reno: Hello? Open the damn door!

Cloud: Go now!

Rufus: Right.

*The three of them jump out the window*

Tseng: I guess nobody's home. Reno, let's try another place.

Reno: ...sure...

*Cloud, Zack, and Rufus rolled down the hill behind Zack's house and were unconscious for a bit*

October 14, 9:00 A.M. ~Gongaga~(Forest)

*Zack's senses come to*

Zack: Aughh...Cloud? Cloud...you okay? Damn, out cold...

*Zack looks around*

Zack: Where's Rufus?

*He walks to a deep river and find's Rufus's white trench coat*

Zack: Rufus must've been here.

*He spots Rufus sinking deeper into the water*

Zack: Rufus!

*Zack takes off his shirt and dives into the water*

Zack: Hold on Rufus. I'm coming.

*He grabs hold of Rufus's heavy inner coat*

Zack: Damn! You're heavy. We need to get you into lighter clothes.

*Zack drags Rufus safely on shore*

Rufus: *cough, cough*

Zack: Are you okay?

Rufus: Thank *cough* you.

Zack: No problem. How'd you end up here? I thought you only jumped out the window.

Rufus: *cough* I was purposely drowned. By someone...*cough* I couldn't see their face.

Zack: We should get back to Cloud.

Rufus: Agreed.

End Chapter 5...
