This is the third story in my story line. To fully understand this story first you may have to read The Utariun Forces and Destinies Children

It was a clear, warm and sunny mid July day. The birds were out singing to one another in the tree branches, and the grass was still damp from the rainfall that had occurred the previous night. Yes, the countryside was full of life this beautiful summer day. It appeared the Gods had decided to shine their light down upon the planet for the time being.

Off in the distance a young girl appeared from out of a thick line of trees to the west. The girl seemed to be about sixteen years old. She had long blonde hair that flowed a little ways beyond her shoulder blades. The girl was wearing a black leather top that was very revealing, the top looked to be not much more than just a bra, and it just barely managed to cover her breasts. And if you looked at her from the back, you could swear that she was not wearing anything. The leather bra was tied together by a little string that was attached around her neck. She was wearing matching black leather pants. The pants were very tight, revealing how incredibly fit this young girl appeared to be. It would be very hard for a teenage boy or a man of any age for that matter, not to be extremely tempted by such an extraordinary creation.

There is a popular saying though that says that it is not always wise to judge by appearances. For this particular girl though, those words are an understatement. After taking a closer look at this young girl, it becomes clear that although her outward appearance is very beautiful, inside she is as ugly as a demon. Mother nature seemed to do one of her best jobs when creating her face. Everything seemed lovely, she was free of any noticeable breakouts that seem to appear on youths her age. And her nose was proportioned just right, the aspects of her body and face had the looks of a t.v. model. Yet, their was something extremely wrong with this young blonde. The facial expression on her was very cold, she gazed expressionless across the countryside. Then she just started shaking her head as though she was in disbelief of something. Yes, after closer inspection it was easy to tell that the darkness swelled in her. You could swear that you could hear the Great Creator just sighing and saying to himself "What a waste, What a waste!"

A teenaged boy walked up and stood next to her, he appeared to be about eighteen years old. The boy was a few inches taller than the girl, he seemed to be about 5'11'', while she appeared to be 5'8'' The lad had dark brown hair, and his hair seemed to be slicked back. It appeared he had just wetted it down and brushed it all back. The boy seemed to have great upper body strength, his chest and shoulders were very defined. He was not wearing a shirt at the time, and his body appeared rather damp. It looked as though he had just finished bathing in the pond that was nearby, and had come over to see what the girl was looking at. The teenaged boy was wearing black leather pants also, that seemed identical to the ones the girl standing next to him was wearing. The boy had a very handsome face, and it was very mature and detailed for his age. There was no boyish tone to it at all, which made him look more like a man than a teenager. Even though he was only in his late teens, his facial details made him look as though he was twenty-four or twenty-five. Yes this lad seemed equally capable of attracting female attention, as the girl standing next to him was at attracting male attention. The two teenagers scanned the area for a few minutes, then began walking back toward the forest and disappeared behind the tree line.

Sarah knelt down on one knee by the pond that her and her brother were camping next to at the time. She placed her right hand in the stream and began splashing her face with some water. Once done she got up and picked up her sword that was lying on the ground next to her, and began sharpening it. Over the course of the past five years since her and Mike had started training themselves in martial arts, among other forms of battle techniques; her swords had become apart of her. Sarah had had this particular sword for almost a year now. She and her brother discovered a weapons shop in some very secluded small town. They waited until night came, and then broke in and retrieved some of the best weapons. The two were amazed by the quality of the swords, and were actually thankful about something for the first time in along time. That time the two children had spent in that old mansion some five years earlier, learning all the tricks of the great Sephiroth, was beginning to pay off. Sarah and Mike were becoming expert swordsmen. They had not actually fought anybody during this period. Choosing to remain isolated in an area where they knew no one would find them until they were ready, then they would unleash their fury on those soldiers. And this time they would not fail, failure was not an option. Sarah felt that they were just about prepared, her and her brother would practice with one another constantly. And recently they were both beginning to do some unbelievable things. Her and Mike were becoming extremely quick, and they were doing kicks and flips amongst other things that they were sure their enemies would be no match for. Recently instead of the usual nightmares Sarah would have of that day her family was killed. She was beginning to have dreams about how great she was going to feel after she killed her enemy. Her thoughts were stopped for the moment though by some pieces of meat that had been thrown into her lap.

"Eat up!" Mike said in a demanding voice. He had just finished preparing the meal that the two were going to have for that night. He had killed an animal earlier in the

day and had been spending the past hour or so preparing the food, and had brought some over to his sister.

"What's this!" Sarah said back to him in a very suspicious tone.

"Does it matter what it is, just eat it!"

Sarah gave her brother an evil look, but refrained from saying anything back that might start an argument between the two. She was very hungry, and did not want to get pissed off and end up throwing all her food out. Sarah glared at Mike for an instant, but then turned her attention down to the food that was before her and began eating her meal.

________________________________________________________________________

"Here, catch uncle Barret!" Timothy said in an excited tone. Timothy threw a small football in the direction of Barret. Barret being rather shocked by the ball being thrown in his direction, still managed to catch it.

"Whoa their Tim, settle down now. You don't want to hurt the old man now do you?"

"No!" The young lad said in a giggly voice. Barret was watching Christopher and he was finding it difficult keeping an eye on the one year old Chris, while the four year old Timothy was busy trying to play with him. Cloud and Tifa had gotten married just a few months after Cloud had proposed to her, and afterwards they wasted no time in starting their own family. At first Barret began to feel a little out of place in the newly weds new lives, and was contemplating finding a place of his own. But Tifa and Cloud made it very clear that they did not want him to go, they wanted him to continue to live with them. Timothy seemed to resemble his mother quite a bit. He had dark hair and his eyes and facial details seemed to resemble Tifa more than Cloud. Tifa would joke around with her husband about this, and tease him by saying. "I guess the Gods just think I am better looking then you are, that's why they made our son to look like me!" She would say in a sarcastic tone. Afterwards she would always say though. "But I still think you're beautiful!" Chris seemed to resemble Tifa also, though it was still a little early to tell. His hair was dark like hers though. Barret was beginning to wonder rather the couple would have another child, just so Cloud could have a blonde headed son or daughter that resembled him.

Cloud and Tifa were away on a vacation plan that the Utariun Forces had provided for them. They were extremely busy raising their two new sons, along with the assignments Cloud had to do for the Forces. So they were very excited about the chance to spend some time alone together. Barret was watching the children while his friends were away for the time being, and he was looking forward for when they would return. He was realizing that watching two youngsters all by yourself was quite a task. Barret

decided that once Cloud and Tifa return from their trip, he was going to go to sleep for a week. Timothy jumped on Barrets back and tried to wrestle him to the ground. Barret figured it was time he should give Timothy some attention instead of watching Chris. He turned around and began wrestling with the young child in a playful manner.

________________________________________________________________________

"Wow, that was a blast! Don't you think honey?" Tifa asked Cloud after returning to their hotel room.

"Ya! It makes me think how exciting it might be to live on a ranch!" Cloud said back to his wife. Cloud and Tifa had spent the day horseback riding in the country. There were several different places in the area that let you rent some horses to go out in the countryside to ride and do whatever. The couple pretty much just rode around on their horses and admired all the spectacular scenery their was in this part of the country. The Utariun Forces offered them a vacation plan at a resort town in the mountains for two weeks, and Tifa and Cloud were more than enjoying their time away. Tifa layed down on the bed and turned the television set on to a soap opera that she tried to catch every now and then. Cloud layed down next to her, figuring to rest for a little while.

After about ten minutes of watching the soap opera, Tifa grew bored with it. Realizing she had gotten too far behind to understand what was going on with the characters. She picked up the brochure that was sitting on the table next to the bed and began to look through it.

"So Cloud, what do you think we should do tomorrow?" Tifa asked him after a minute of looking through the brochure.

"I don't really mind. I kind of wanted to go river rafting though before we left, I think that might be really fun. It doesn't matter though, I just love spending time with you." Cloud started combing his fingers through her hair while he said that last line.

Tifa tuned to her husband and looked into his eyes. "I love you so much!" Is what she said. "You know what I want to do Cloud."

"What?" Cloud responded back. Tifa whispered something into his ear.

Cloud smiled and said. "I'm so glad I married you!"

Tifa giggled and kissed Cloud on the lips, then she moved down to his waste area. She unsnapped his pants and opened his fly, then she pulled his pants all the way down. Tifa then layed back down in front of Cloud with her head just above his waste. She glanced up at him for an instant with a smile on her face. Then Tifa honed in on her target and began doing her business, as Cloud liked to call it.

_____________________________________________________________________

John Moffit was sitting down on a chair along the porch of a rather old looking house. He was looking enthusiastically at the two dogs who were playing just out in front of his yard. The two animals played for an instant, then heard their master yell out telling them to get back hear. John was feeling as happy as he had ever felt in his life. He was now thirty years old, and positioned well with in the Utariun Forces. His life had definitely taken a turn for the better the last couple of years. John turned around and caught a glance of the main reason for his recent happiness.

A young women walked out of the doorway and on to the porch that John was sitting on. She was definitely a stunner, had long dark hair with a very attractive dark complexion. She looked to be in her early thirties, maybe thirty-two or thirty-three. The lady was wearing a short sleeved white shirt and a pair of jean shorts. The woman walked up behind John and leaned up against his shoulders, then put her arms around his neck.

"Hey good lookin! Did you just get up from your beauty nap?" John asked the young lady.

The lady just chuckled and kissed him on the neck. John had met Laura two years earlier at a club just outside of Midgar, where he was being posted at the time. He was on leave for a couple of days from the forces, and had decided just to stay in town. There at the club that night, he caught a glance of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his life. He had never been much of the out going type before, but at that time something with in him was telling him that he must go up and introduce himself to this lovely lady. He did and he soon found out that he was able to carry on a conversation quite easily with this woman. He discovered that she had come to the club that night with a couple of girlfriends, and was just taking a break from the dance floor for a little while. The two talked into the night and when the time came for them to head off in separate directions, John summoned up the courage to ask her for her phone number. He was surprised how willingly she agreed to it, she started writing it down without a seconds hesitation.

The next day John called up Laura on the telephone.The two got into another lengthy conversation, and after a while he asked her if she wanted to get something for dinner. She agreed and the two went out and had a great time. They dated for about eight months, then John decided it was time to ask the big question. Laura jumped into his arms when he told her his offer, and the two have been happily married ever since. Both felt that the other was an absolute dream come true.

Laura and John sat down on the porch cuddling one another for a little while. Then walked hand in hand back into their house.

"Come on you ass! Can’t you do better than that! I know you can do better than that! So why don’t you just fucking do it!" Sarah was screeching, becoming infuriated that her brother was not giving his all. Sarah aimed her sword at Mike’s head and with all her might, attempted her next blow in that direction. Mike easily caught her sword with his own though. He swung around behind her, and caught her left arm with his left and held it behind her back. With his right arm he knocked the sword out of her right hand, and then held both of her arms tied together behind her back. Mike kicked her from the

back side and Sarah flew to the ground. This all happened in an instant, and Sarah was no where near quick enough yet to counter it. Sarah stayed down on the ground for a few minutes. There were many scars along her back from the beatings that Mike had given her during their practices with one another. And after this beating another one yet appeared. After a moment Sarah began to move. She turned her head around to look at her brother. Her face was rather bloodied up from todays many beatings she was taking, her hair was all ragged and was covering much of her face. Sarah hissed at her brother and began to get up.

"Stay down you stupid bitch!" Mike walked up to Sarah and pointed his sword up against her neck. "Do you know why I don’t try my hardest! Because every time I do, this happens! How do you ever expect to get better if you just get beaten like this all the time! So don’t fucking complain anymore!"

Sarah spit at her brother and got up. She found a rock lying on the ground next to her and threw it at him with all her might. Sarah hissed at Mike again and gave him one of her common evil looks. She turned around and began to walk off. Mike knew that she would most likely be gone for the next couple of days.

"Mommy, Mommy, Daddy, Daddy!" Young Timothy yelled out loud when he saw his mother and father arrive in the driveway. He ran out and jumped into Tifas arms.

"Oh I missed you so much honey! It seems like it has been an eternity since I have been able to hold you!" Tifa told her son as she was holding him.

"Don’t ever go away again mommy!"

"Don’t worry Tim, I will never leave you!" Cloud jumped out of the car at that moment after gathering together some of his and Tifas belongings. Tim jumped into Clouds arms as soon his father came over to the youngster and his wife.

Barret came out of the front door at that moment. He was carrying Christopher in his arms. Chris had sprained an ankle the day before while playing outside, and he was unable to walk on it.

"Oh my baby!" Tifa said when she saw him. Barret handed Chris to his mother, and Tifa began wiping away the tears from his eyes.

"Mommy, I got an ouchy!" Chris wailed to her.

"Oh my angel! Does this make it better?" Tifa kissed her sons swollen ankle.

"A little!" Christopher said back to her in a wimpering tone. His mother smiled at him and said.

"Come on, let’s go inside and put some ice on it."

"Ok mommy." And the two headed into the house. Though Chris was injured, the overall situation appeared glorious.The family was back together again.

"General, an issue is beginning to develop along the Central Continent."

"Yes Captain Sharks, a certain group of people have become displeased with the actions of the Utariun Forces in that area, that much I know. Has anything else come up Captain Sharks?"

"Yes, some of the commoners have begun to form a committee. They are displeased with the high number of bases that we have formed in the area. And they insist that we are becoming to controlling. As of now they are just voicing their disapproval through protests. But if we continue to let this go on, they could become violent."

"Very well Captain. Gather together a group of officers, and station them in the area in which we are having the most difficulty. They should be able to control the situation."

"Yes General Akia."

Sarah wiped the sweat from her forehead. The temperatures outside were scorching, and she was becoming very uncomfortable. The month of August had been rather cool, and Sarah and Mike had begun to feel accustomed to the cooler weather. But the first few days of September the weather patterns turned 180 degrees. "This had to be one of the hottest days of the year,"she thought to herself. The young girl turned her head to look behind her. Her brother was walking some twenty to thirty yards behind her at that moment. Sarah had thought up some knew techniques to use while sword fighting with her brother, and they really seemed to be paying off. These past three weeks since she had been using them, she had become more capable of carrying on sword fights with her brother. And two weeks ago Sarah got her first real good victory over Mike. She used a new spin move that she had come up with. It completely fooled Mike, he lost his concentration for a split second and Sarah flung his sword out of his hand. Then she kicked his feet out from under him and he fell flat on his ass. Mike just got up, stared at her for an instant and said "Let’s go again." She was not able to do anything like that to him again. But she was able to counter his attacks with much greater ease, and carry on the battles.

Sarah saw that she was nearing a stream, and she stopped to cool off for a little bit.

"You ready honey." John called out to Laura from the front balcony.

"Almost, I’m just looking over things to make sure we have everything we need.

"All Right, we need to hurry up and leave pretty quick though, we have to be at the new base by morning.

John was being transferred to the new base that had just recently been set up in the Central Continent. He was not sure yet at this point what the purpose of his transfer was. But he was told that as soon as he arrived at the base, he would be informed of the purpose. The news came as quite a shock to the couple. They were both extremely relieved though when they were told that Laura would be allowed to go also.

Still, John was still bothered by the whole situation. It seemed that throughout his whole lifetime, he was never able to stay long enough at one place to become comfortable with it. And once he did find a place that he felt he could finally call home, he was moved again. And now the whole process seemed to be repeating itself. John had finally met a person, and found a place that he really felt comfortable with. Now it was like one of those things was being ripped away from him. He was not sure how long the Utariun Forces was planning on posting him at the base. But he hoped he would be back home very soon.

Mike and Sarah were sitting on the outskirts of a small town in the northern part of the Central Continent. Their was a weapons shop their that they were eyeing. And they were waiting until nightfall when they would be able to break in and see what was available. Their weapons now were becoming rather tarnished, due to the heavy use that they had been getting. Sarah and Mike had known this for sometime now. And they had been roaming around area towns for the past couple of weeks, searching for a good store that was available. Dusk was beginning to set in, and they knew within the next few hours they would be able to move in.

"Goddamn look at this shit!" Mike yelled at an exuberant pitch as he saw the weapons that were available. He picked up what he viewed to be the best sword of the whole group. He began running his hand over its blade. The sword was like nothing he had ever seen before. If he ever had an image of the perfect weapon before, this would be it. Mike looked at it for a second longer, then placed it into the harness he had tied around his waist.

Sarah walked over towards her brother at that moment. She was holding another sword in her hand that looked almost as deadly as Mikes new weapon was. Sarah stopped a few feet in front of him, and began looking over the shelf to her left. She scanned over the various items that were being displayed on the shelf, and eventually decided to take a few well sharpened hunting knives. A few minutes later the two siblings were just about ready to leave, when they began hearing some rustling just outside the store.

Steven Kelley had just recently joined the Utariun Forces. He knew when he joined that he would not be doing anything exciting right away. But he didn’t feel that he would ever get stuck with what he was doing right now. During his early twenties he spent some time on the police force. During that span he never got to do anything other than just a regular security guard. He waisted away in what he considered to be a very boring profession for five years. And just last year he discovered that the Utariun Forces were searching for some extra members. He did not hesitate for a moment on whether or not he should put his name in. For it was well known that members of the Forces always were assigned to go on exciting missions. At least that was what all the rumors were.

So Steve was very excited about joining them. He was very shocked and disappointed though when he found out what he was assigned to do. The police forces around the various small towns in the area were very small. And with grumblings from all the commoners about some of the laws, the Forces felt it was necessary to send some of their men out to the local small towns, and help the police force out. So that was the position that Steve was in now. He was called out to the local weapons shop, on the account that someone had called in, saying that they thought they had seen two people trying to break into it.

Steve stepped out of his car with his flashlight in hand, it was around 11:30 p.m. and it was very dark outside. He called out to see if anyone was there, but no one responded. He stepped up to the door, and noticed that it had been tampered with. Steve continued to call out to see if anyone was still inside as he stepped through the door. After several minutes of no response, Steve figured that whoever was in here before had left. He sighed to himself and turned off the flashlight.

Just as he turned off the light and began heading back outside, he heard a little bit of a rustle just to his right. Out of no where a very powerful arm grabbed him and threw him up against the shelves. The intruder began punching him in the gutt with great force. His attacker was extremely quick and seemed to have great fighting skills. Steve was very shocked by what had just happened, and he was not able to bring himself together in order to focus in on who was doing this. Steve could do nothing else other than just absorb the blows and hope that it would soon stop. He tried to counter punch, but found he was just throwing punches wildly in the air.

After several more minutes of trying to absorb the attackers blows, the invader suddenly stopped. In a very mellitious tone, he asked Steve.

"Who are you!"

Steve decided to tell the truth about who he was, hoping it would scare the invader away. Knowing that he had just attacked a member of the Utariun Forces, so Steve told him.

"I am a member of the Utariun Forces. I came out here tonight because somebody called in saying someone was trying to break in here."

"What did you say!" The attacker said in a very angry manner.

"I am a member of the Utariun Forces." Steve said again. Before he could say anything else, the villian punched Steve in the jaw. The attacker hit him with such force it felt like his jaw had just been broken. Then he seemed to call out to someone else in the room, he said.

"Sarah, take a bucket and go drain the gasoline out of this motherfuckers car!" That was the first indication that Steve had that someone else was in the room also. He heard the partner respond.

"OK!"

It was a feminine voice, Steve turned in the direction where it was coming from and saw a female figure standing in the doorway. Steve could not make out any details though, as it was very dark. She appeared to have been standing at the doorway, making sure no one walked in on what was taking place inside. She found a bucket and headed outside to Steves car. After she left, the man said to Steve.

"Guess what buddy, tonight we are going to have a barbeque!"

The attacker went on to tie Steves hands and feet together, and gag him also.

Mike went around making sure all the doors around the weapons shop were all shut and locked. He then lit a match and threw it through a window onto the gasoline that Sarah had poured around the inside of the store. Mike got an extreme amount of pleasure thinking of how terrified the officer inside must be right now. He started to think about his family again. Sarah and he were finally beginning to get the revenge they wanted on the son of a bitches who murdered their family, much more was to come yet though. They were in no way, in any shape or form, going to end what they had just started. The two backed away from the store as the blaze began to grow larger. After several minutes of watching the burning building from a distance. Mike turned toward his sister and said.

"Sarah, I think we are finally ready!"

"Commander Moffit, what are the reports of the situation you were assigned to watch? General Akia asked John when the Commander stepped into his office.

"There is still a certain number of persons who are not satisfied with the way things are. But the percentage of disapproval rate has gone down considerably over the course of the past couple months. It seems the tactics we used in order to ease the tention amongst the public seem to be beginning to work.

"Good work Commander Moffit. I still need you to keep watch on things here though, until we feel there is no threat of a rebellion from the commoners at all."

"Yes sir." John said back to the General.

John had been posted around Base Corel for the past two months. He was in charge of easing the tention in the surrounding area against the Utariun Forces. He had

come up with several different plans of how to bring back the peace, and so far they seemed to be working. Him and Laura had been given their own house to live in within the base. And for the time being they seemed very happy. Being the main person in charge of this mission, John and Laura were given one of the nicest homes available on Base Corel. Laura seemed to be becoming quite proud of it also, she really enjoyed keeping the place up for her new husband. Still, even with the nice material things that the couple received when they arrived at the base. They still could not wait until they were released, and they could head back to their real home.

Cloud and Barret were in the middle of a meeting being held by Captain Sharks. General Akia was becoming increasingly uneasy about the tentions that were taking place between the commoners and the Utariun Forces. Though the Commander in charge assured the General that all was going well, and the tentions were decreasing, the General was not so sure. For everybody knew that as long as unrest was still going on. One misshappening could cause everything to go haywire.

Home life though for the two men could not be better. Timothy was entering kindergarten this year. And after only being in school for a few months now, had already found several playmates to hang out with. Timothy and several of his friends would often come over after school and play outside. Barret and Cloud enjoyed very much going out and wrestling playfully with the young children.

Tifa loved being in the role of a mother. She made sure that her two youngsters were always safe, and in good health. Tifa would tell Barret and Cloud almost everyday about how happy she was, and how she hoped that things would always stay the way they were right now. Motherhood had definitely not taken away any of her sex appeal either, she was still an absolute knockout. Her Seventh Heaven bar was still the hottest place in town. The men still flocked to it, hoping to win the friendship of the beautiful specimen who worked there. Though it was not quite as popular now, as it was before Tifa and Cloud were married. The knowledge that Tifa Lockhart was now married with children, turned a few away.

Cloud and Barret got up from the meeting and began walking out the door. They got the information they needed, on what to do if civil unrest began getting out of control.

"The things that they are forcing us to put up with is an absolute outrage! The taxation on incoming goods, and the sweldering prices of the goods once they enter the continent! It is getting to the point to where some people can not even go out and buy the things that their families need! My children are practically starving nowadays! And those are just some of the aspects of this dictatorship of a government that they have built! They are now breathing down our throats, building all these damn bases everywhere you look! The Utariun Forces are not trying to build a free land like they promised us! They are trying to enslave us, attempting to watch our every move. I promise you people, before long things will be even worse than they were with the Shinra! I for one do not just want to sit around and let this happen to us! How many of you people are with me?"Brett yelled to a large gathering of people. The crowd began to cheer wildly. This was one of the many assemblies that had been taking place over the Central Continent

over the course of the past year. These assemblies were full of people who opposed the Utariun Forces greatly. And they did not understand the Forces actions at all, claiming that they were trying to turn the land into a dictatorship. This particular assembly was being held by a man by the name of Brett Passle. Brett was a rather harsh person. He got married and started having children when he was still a teenager. He was not able to get a very good education, therefore he did not receive a very well paying job when he went into the real world. Brett had been spending all of his adult life just trying to put enough food on the table for his children to eat. And the Utariun Forces were raising the prices of all goods coming into the Central Continent, due to the great population booms that they had in certain sections of the continent. If you lived in the Central Continent, and you lived in one of the cities that were forming. You tended to live a life of luxury, because many of the people who chose to enter the cities were rather wealthy. However, if you lived in the countryside, or in one of the small towns along parts of the Central Continent.

You tended to have to scrap for food somewhat. And that was the exact problem that Brett, and the people like him were facing. They were the ones who were stuck in the small towns.

And due to the large population boom in the Central Continent, the Utariun Forces felt it was necessary to build some extra bases in the area. They did not want to put them in any of the large cities though, they built them along the countryside. So the people in the small towns were very unhappy about another aspect of the Utariun Forces.

Brett went on to talk about some other things, trying to increase the disrespect people had for the Forces.

Sarah was standing atop one of the many hills overlooking Base Corel. The area was heavily forested, so it was easy for her to confide herself behind some of the many trees. Her and Mike had just arrived in this area within the past couple of days. It had been two months since the two teens murdered their first victim. Ever since then, the siblings had been brushing up their skills, preparing for the onslaught of terror that they would put upon whatever soldier that would happen to cross their path. Now, Sarah and Mike were eyeing the base in which they would introduce themselves unto the Utariun Forces.

The hatred was swarming through the blonde teenager as she watched the soldiers below her go about their business, having no idea who was watching them from above.

"Those motherfuckers! Those motherfuckers!" She said to herself over and over again. "You all destroyed my life! So I am going to destroy yours!"

Sarah began to think back to that day that her family was killed by those soldiers. She remembered that day as the day that her life turned into a complete hell. Sarah tried to remember back to what her life was like before her house was burned to the ground, along with her whole world. Back then, everybody who came into contact with her said she was suck a joyous child. Always laughing, smiling, and dancing. She remembered that she did love to sing and dance along with her mother so much. Until the age of 9, Sarah swore she was the happiest girl on the planet, nothing could make her frown. Her,

Mike, and Mary would spend all day giggling and playing with one another in the fields that surrounded their home. But that fateful day changed everything. Sarah now at the age of 16, could not even comprehend feelings of happiness like that. She would suffer through the days, consumed by nothing but feelings of anger, jealousy, and hatred. Yes, Sarah stood above Base Corel saying to herself how she was going to get revenge on the men who turned the sweetest girl ever created, into a devil woman.

"Four kings, ha, ha, ha, I win again!" Tifa said sarcastically after laying her cards down on the table.

"Ya whatever Tifa! You know that the only reason why you are so good at this game is because you are such a nerd, and spend all your time at home!" Jennifer said back to her friend in her own sarcastic tone.

Tifa was hanging out with a few of her friends while her kids were at school for the day. Kelly, Becky, and Jennifer had become very good friends with Tifa over the past couple of years. Cloud and Barret were both out on an assignment at the time, and her friends offered her some much needed company while her children were away. The group was over at Jennifer’s place for the day. Jennifer, Kelly, and Becky were all in similar age range to Tifa. Kelly was 29, Becky was 31, and Jennifer was 30, Tifa was the same age as Kelly, 29.

The four friends decided to hang up the game of cards, and just sit around the table and chat. The group talked for a few minutes, just talking about some of their kids, both Kelly and Jennifer had kids of their own also. The girls talked about this subject for a few minutes. Then Becky brought up a subject that almost any woman would find very interesting.

"You girls have got to see this new guy that just moved into the apartment just down the hall from me! I tell you, he is fine, fine, fine!"

Becky was talking about someone who had just moved into the apartment complex where she lived at. Becky was single at the time, so she was constantly looking around for all the good looking men.

"So what’s he look like?" Kelly asked her friend.

"Well, he is about 6 feet tall, slender, has dark brown hair, and a dark complexion, and I would say he is probably 27 or 28."

"Mmm, sounds delicious!" Jennifer said next after hearing the details of this mystery man.

"Does he have a good looking ass?" Kelly asked again

Becky smiled a little and said.

"Definitely!"

Jennifer remarked sarcastically. "I think somebody wants to get in this guys pants!"

"If I get the chance, don’t think I will pass it up. God, their hasn’t been a naked man in my apartment for a good 3 months now!" Becky said in response to Jennifer’s remark.

Kelly noticed that Tifa was not participating in the conversation and said. "Hey Tifa, why don’t you put your two cents in. Come on, we all know that you like men just as much as we do."

Tifa had trouble though associating with her friends when these kinds of subjects came up. Though their was little doubt that Tifa enjoyed the male body just as much as her friends, their was one key difference between them. While Tifa’s sexual desires were consumed by one man, her friends sexual desires were not. Kelly had already had an affair while she was married. Jennifer had not met anyone yet that would make her want to have an affair with. Though she did not have any problem with picking up a young man that she found attractive, taking him to a private place and giving him a blow job.

And Becky was the worst of the group, she had absolutely no intention of settling down with anyone. Becky would move from man to man, judging the relationship that they had off of how good the sex was, not on how well they connected with another. And all of Tifa’s friends were very attractive, they had no difficulty at all in getting the guys attention.

Tifa’s views on men, and her friend's views on men were light years apart. While Kelly, Becky, and Jennifer loved men, Tifa loved Cloud. Tifa loved to fuck, and give blow jobs just as much as her friends did. But she loved to do those things to just one man. She had never even considered doing those things to anybody else.

"Here is a toast to us." Laura told her husband as they were eating dinner together.

"And may it stay this way forever." John said back to his wife.

Laura leaned across the table in order to give John a kiss on the lips.

"You know honey, before I met you I didn’t think their was anyway that someone could make me feel as good as they way you make me feel now."

Laura smiled at him passionately and said.

"You make me feel so special baby, and I love you so much."

Laura and John were taking a break from Base Corel for the time being. John was on leave at the moment, and the couple had decided to go somewhere where they could be alone. They had bought a small cabin that was positioned only about 10 miles outside the base. It was off in the hills and forests in the surrounding area, and the couple was enjoying being around all the beautiful scenery.

John and Laura got up from the table, and went outside to sit on the balcony and look at all the stars.

Mike and Sarah were sitting around a campfire that they had built for the night. The two were finishing off a meal that Mike had caught the previous day. He had tracked down some young wolf pup and killed him, so he could bring it back to eat. The two were sitting around the campfire, not saying a word to each other as usual as they finished the meal that they were eating. Once done, Sarah stood up, and picked up the old bucket that the two used to drink out of. The stunning blonde beauty with a tortured soul, headed off to the stream to fill the bucket with water.

Sarah was kneeling down on one knee as she filled the bucket with water from the stream. It was a warmer night than usual for this time of the year. It was the first part of February, and the temperature outside was in the 60’s. Sarah ran some water over her face as she waited for the bucket to be filled. She began hearing some voices over where the old cabin was located. The teenager who had just turned 17 a week earlier, had absolutely no interest in the goings on of the people who were over there. Sarah had absolutely no interest in what the persons were saying, until she over heard two words, Utariun Forces.

Sarah began listening in on the conversation. After a few minutes, she realized that one of them was a member of the army. Sarah went back to the campsite to get her brother.

John and Laura were sitting next to one another on the bench that was located on the balcony of their cabin. It was a particularly warm night for this time of year, and the couple felt very comfortable out there.

Isn’t the sky just beautiful when it is clear enough out that you can see all the stars?" Laura asked her husband.

"Ya it sure is Laura, it is absolutely marvelous."

After her husband said this, Laura rested her head on John’s shoulder. There the two lovers stayed for the next ten minutes or so.

After that time elapsed, John began hearing some voices in the distance. He could not make out what they were saying, and for a moment he did not think much of it. John and Laura began to get a bit more startled when the realized that the voices were getting closer and closer. Then about a minute later, the couple noticed two figures come out of the tree line that was directly in front of their cabin. The two figures continued to walk in the direction of the cabin. It was at that moment that John told his wife that she had better go inside for a second, that he would go over and see what was going on.

John Moffit began walking over towards the two figures, to find out what their purpose for being here was. Once he got close enough to make out the individuals, he realized that it was a female figure, and a male figure. The young woman appeared to be

Entering her late teens. She had long blonde straight hair, and physically she appeared gorgeous. With the light from the moon and the stars, even with it being night out, he could still make out the two youngsters rather easily. The young girl had a tremendous figure, it was obvious she was in excellent shape. If their was a particular person that the saying fit as a fiddle was created for, this blonde teenager would have been it. She was wearing a tight black sweater, which was cut off around her stomach area, so her belly button showed. John figured that the reason for the sweater, was because it was in the middle of winter. He felt that if it was in the spring or summer, she would be wearing even less. She also had very well proportioned breasts, for an instant John forgot that these two youngsters were intruding on his and Laura’s land, and began to undress the young girl with his eyes.

From the waiste down, the girl was wearing tight leather black pants. For another instant, John lost his concentration and began hoping that this blonde goddess would find a reason to turn around and bend over, so he could see how nice and firm her ass was. Yes, if looks could kill, this blonde beauty would have a million victims by now.

The young man that was standing just to the left of the girl, was a fee inches taller than her. He seemed to be in his late teens also. Though John thought it was possible that he might be in his early twenties. The lad was clearly very built. His arms seemed extremely muscular, and his shoulders appeared well stocked. He had thick dark brown hair, which he kept slicked back. And the young man had a very mature and well defined face. John figured that this lad must turn the ladies heads, just as easily as the girl standing next to him turns the men’s heads. He began to think that if Laura was out here with him, her mind would be drifting to thoughts of what this young man might look like naked, just as much as he was thinking about what the girl next to him might look like without any clothes on.

It seemed that he was wearing similar clothes to the girl who was traveling with him. He was wearing tight leather black pants. Instead of wearing a sweater like the girl was though, he was wearing a tight black short sleeved shirt. Though the shirt was extremely tight, the lad did not have to worry about looking scrawny in it by any means, he definitely had the body for it. Unlike the girl, the young man did not seem to find it necessary to show his abdomen off. John figured that he must be much more secure in himself, than the girl was in herself.

Their was something that startled john though when he and the two strangers came into contact with one another. John thought that when they arrived within talking distance of one another that the two would state their purpose for being here, and he could then relax and let them go about their business. But the way john hoped that things would transpire, is not the way they happened at all. John hoped that when the strangers neared him, they would start talking to him in a friendly tone. But he was surprised when the two just continued to stay silent. Their was something very eary about the two teens body language also. If their was ever two people who had lost the ability to express emotion, these two would be them. The teens just stared at John with an expressionless look on their face. Finally, John decided to break the silence, and say something himself.

"What are you two kids up to tonight?"

The two did not respond, and continued to just stare at John. After a minute or so of continual silence, the girl finally spoke up.

"Are you a member of the Utariun Forces?"

John hesitated for a moment, but then decided to tell the truth.

"Yes I am, I am a commander within the army."

After saying this, the two teens turned and looked at one another for an instant. Then the girl looked at John again. This time though, she did have emotion on her face. At that very second, it seemed the girl had just become possessed by a demon. It appeared as though all the evil in the world had just come together and formed within one body, her body.

She reached behind her and pulled out a sword that she had hidden behind her back. John was now very concerned, as he was unarmed. The girl began to walk closer to him, running her hand along the blade of her weapon, then she began to say something again.

"Do you know what killed me?"

John did not respond, having no clue what the girl was talking about. But again the girl asked him.

"Do you know what killed me?"

This time John decided to say something back to her.

"What are you talking about?"

Then the girl began to say something different.

"Once upon a time, oh I guess it has been about eight years now, their stood a nice, very cozy farmhouse. In it their lived a very, very, very, very happy little girl. If their was ever an angel that the God’s decided to put down on this planet, this little girl was that angel.

The little girl lived amongst her mother, father, brother, and her sister. She absolutely cherished each and every one of them. During the day if their were no chores to do. Her, and her brother, and sister, would go out in the fields surrounding their home, and play tell the sun began to fall. Then at night, this little girl and her whole family would spend the rest of the hours of the day, singing songs, and dancing with one another. Their was no doubt that this little girl, was the one who put the sparkle in the stars, and the light in the moon. But something horrible happened to her. The one thing that meant the world to her, was lost. The one thing that she could not bear to lose, was ripped away from her.

One fateful day, this little girl went outside for a moment. Once out, she suddenly heard the sound of an explosion. She turned around, and she found that her home was ablaze. Her mother, her father, and her sister were all inside when her home burned to the ground. Do you know what it is like to lose your family?"

John did not respond, amazed by what this girl was saying. The blonde teenager continued on with her story.

"This little girls home burned to the ground, her family was killed, only rubble remained of her previous life. Her whole world came crashing down on her. She tried to cope with this tragedy, but found it all absolutely unbearable. She tried to start a new life, but she could not get it right. The little girl lost the ability to make the stars sparkle, and the moon decided to start shining its light down upon someone else. So all that remains of this once sweet little girl, is what you see in front of you right now. And do you know who brought this tragedy down upon her?"

What the teen said next was said in the most hellish tone John had ever heard before.

"You!"

The girl then looked back at the young man who was traveling with her. He nodded in response, and reached back and pulled a sword he was carrying out from behind his back. He threw the sword out to John, John realized that a battle between he and the girl was about to take place. He caught the sword, and prepared for a blow that he thought the girl would be dishing out. She instead said.

"You first shithead!"

John was a pretty good swordsman himself, so he decided just to test the girl out. John threw his first blow in the girls direction. To his shock, the girl easily caught the blow with her sword, and then swung John off balance. Then the girl kicked John in the side of the leg, and he fell to the ground. She was as quick as lightning, and their was no way John could keep up with her. Once she had him on the ground, she pearced her sword in John’s side. Just wanting it to be extremely painful, but not fatal yet at this point, the girl took her sword out, before it got to far into John’s flesh. She then knelt down on one knee, and moved her sword up against John’s neck, and said in a very villianace voice.

"When you get to the after life, tell everybody that the blonde bad girl sent you here!"

With that, the blonde teenager ran her sword through John Moffit’s throat.

Sarah drew her sword away from her victim's neck. She stood up, and reached for a rag that she was keeping in her pocket. With the rag, Sarah cleaned the blood that was left on her sword after the result of her kill. She then picked up the sword that her victim had used to try to combat her, and threw it back to her brother. Sarah looked down at her victim one last time, and managed to spit on his forehead. She and Mike were about ready to head back into the wilderness, when they heard somebody race out of the cabin door screaming.

"My husband, my husband, what have you done to my husband!" The woman screamed over and over again.

Mike and Sarah turned to confront her, she did not come after them though. The woman just dropped down where her husband’s dead body was lying, and held his corps in her arms.

"How could you do this! How could you do this!" She just kept on screaming.

The two siblings were somewhat surprised that she was continuing to stay there, and not trying to run away from them, thinking that they might kill her also. But the woman just continued to stay by her husband’s side.

After a moment of watching her, Mike began to walk towards the woman. He pulled his sword out of the harness that he had strapped around his back, and ran it through the woman’s throat also.

The lady died an instant later, and the two youngsters were then finally ready to head back into the forest.

Barret walked through the front door of the house with a sense of urgency. He looked around in a couple of rooms to see if he could find anyone, but it seemed as though the house was barren for the time being. The kids were all off at school at the moment, and he wasn’t sure if Cloud and Tifa were home or not. After Barret had checked the living room, the kitchen, and the downstairs area, he began hearing some noises coming from the bedroom. He headed off in the direction of Cloud and Tifa’s room. Barret opened up the door and said.

"Cloud, I need to talk to you for a second."

The couple were obviously taking advantage of the time they had alone with each other while the house was empty. Tifa still had a red sweater on, but her blue jeans were undone and pulled down to about her thighs, revealing the green bikini underwear that she had on. Cloud had his right hand placed inside the back of her underwear, and was massaging her butt cheeks.

Tifa had just finished unbuttoning Cloud’s shirt, and was running her hands up and down his back, all the while kissing along his neck.

Cloud responded to Barret’s remark by saying. "Can it wait a second, I’m kind of in the middle of something?"

"No it can’t Cloud!" Barret said back in a demanding voice.

Cloud saw the seriousness on his friends face, and realized that this must be something pretty important. He pulled his wife off of him, and said in a whisper into her ear.

"I’ll be back in a second honey."

Tifa responded back by saying.

"Ok, but I might not be quite as horny when you come back as I am right now."

Cloud smiled at her and said back in a sarcastic tone.

"Well if that’s the case, let me give you a preview of what I’m going to do when I get back."

He pushed Tifa down on the bed, pulled her jeans all the way down to her ankles, and began licking along her leg. Cloud licked Tifa’s right leg in a swirling motion from her ankle to her knee.

Tifa broke down and said. "Well if that’s the way it’s going to be, I think I am going to be even hornier when you come back."

Cloud winked at her, and then headed out the door to see what Barret had to say.

"Cloud, one of our commanders over at Base Corel has been brutally murdered in the surrounding wood." Barret told Cloud as soon as the two men stepped out of the door.

"What, how long ago did this all happen?" Cloud responded in a shocked manner.

"They think that he was murdered a little over a week ago. His wife was also murdered along with him. The commanders name was John Moffit. Does that name ring a bell to you?" Barret asked him.

"Not really, Damn, do they have any idea who might have done it?"

"Not a clue, they havn’t been able to find any evidence at all. Anyways, they want us to report to Junon by tomorrow morning. And I think they are going to transfer us over to Base Corel for a little while, they want us to help out in cleaning this whole mess up."

"Ok, I guess we’ll have to get some things packed up, and head out tonight. I"ll go in and tell Tifa the news. Damn Barret, this is all quite a shock."

"Ya it is Cloud, Ya it is." Barret responded back.

Sarah was entering the land that she knew all to well. It was the land that she dreaded during the day, and could not escape at night. This land was just one of the many things within this cruel world that Sarah despised. No matter how hard she tried, she could not escape it. She fought it with every muscle in her body, yet Sarah was its slave. And once again tonight, the young blonde began to enter this cruel and unforgiving land.

Sarah was brought before an old farmhouse. She recognized this house, for it was the house that she used to love so much. The normal cycle was beginning to take place though. She saw a young 11 year old brown headed boy come up to her. The young lad said "hi" to her, and then looked in the direction of the old farmhouse. Just at that second, the house blew up, Sarah had to turn and cover her head away from all the flames. This was the moment that Sarah would usually wake up, but something different happened this time. The fire was suddenly put out by something. The birds began singing, and Sarah began hearing a soft humming sound. The house now looked brand new now after the fire was gone. It looked about 70 years newer than the house that she remembered from her childhood. Suddenly she noticed that the front door to the house began to open, and a person started walking out. The person began to walk in the direction of Sarah. She noticed that it was a girl in her mid teens, around 16 years old. She had long flowing black hair, and once she got close enough Sarah could tell that she had a very lovely face. At that moment Sarah recognized exactly who it was.

"Mary!" Sarah screamed.

The blonde beauty queen began running in the direction of her sister.

"Mary!" Sarah yelled out again.

Once she got to within a couple feet of her sister, Sarah opened up her arms in an attempt to hug the sibling that she had not seen for the past 8 years. But just then, Mary put out her hand, and Sarah could not get any closer. Sarah tried to say something, but found she was not able to open up her mouth. Then Mary began saying something.

"Your wrong Sarah!"

Sarah tried to respond to her sister’s remark, but found she was still unable to open up her mouth. Again Mary said.

"Your wrong Sarah!"

And after saying this phrase for the second time, Mary disappeared. Then, a second figure started walking out of the front door of the farmhouse. This person was a man looking to be in his mid 40’s. He was a well built human being, he had short dark brown hair, and his hair was beginning to gray along the sides. Sarah recognized who this person was immediately to.

"Dad!" She yelled out.

Sarah ran toward him, wanting to hug him. But he stopped her before she was able to also. And he to began saying.

"Your wrong Sarah!"

She tried to say something to him, but found she was again unable to open up her mouth. Her father said again.

"Your wrong Sarah!"

He also then disappeared. Sarah was beginning to get very frustrated at this point. The people that she had longed for so much for so long, she was unable to say anything to. And all they were saying was something that she could not understand. The door to the farmhouse began to open up for the 3^rd time. A woman in her mid 40’s also, began to walk out.

"Mom!" Sarah said as soon as she recognized who it was.

She ran to her hoping that things would be different this time. But again her family member stopped her before she was able to throw her arms around them. But when Sarah’s mother began to speak, she said something different.

"Oh my precious child, what’s happened to you. You used to be so full of joy, and now look at you."

Sarah again could not respond. Her mother continued.

"Just remember one thing Sarah, I will never stop loving you."

Then her mother vanished, and Sarah woke up from her dream.

Sarah was awestruck from the events that had just taken place from within her mind. She was in a cold sweat, she looked over at Mike, but he was still sleeping. Sarah got up, and headed off for the creek to get a drink of water.

"These are the men who have been opposing the Utariun Forces with the greatest fury. They are Leonard Baisle, Brett Passle, and Scott Williams. These three people have been fueling the flames of the commoners. It is my assumption, that commander John Moffit, could have been murdered by the followers of anyone of these three men. We will bring all three of them in and hold them for questioning!" General Akia was saying to a group of commanders during a meeting.

Cloud and Barret were amongst the group who was listening to the Generals speech.

"From now on men, the Utariun Forces will have 0 tolerance for anything the commoners do that oppose are army. If you hear, or come across a rally against us, arrest all the members involved. We will take control of this situation men. Nothing like this will ever happen again!"

For the first time, Sarah was becoming angry with her family. She had absolutely no clue what that dream that she had had the other day meant. All she knew was that her family would not let her talk to them, and all they said to her was that she was wrong. Sarah was sitting on the ground with her hands covering her face. Then Mike came back and told her.

"Get the fuck up and follow me!"

Cloud was leading a group of men over to the town of Templeton. It was a small town, only about 20 miles away from Base Corel. They were going there to pick up Scott Williams. He was one of the men that General Akia wanted to bring in for questioning. Cloud had brought a group of 6 men along with him. They were traveling through the heavy forestry in the area. Suddenly, the group witnessed two young people walk out of the tree line in front of them. It was a young blonde girl, and a young dark haired man, who did not seem to be much older than her. The two looked at the group of soldiers, then pulled out swords that they had behind their back. Then the two charged Cloud and his group. The swordsmanship of these two strangers was unbelievable. The young man headed in the direction of Cloud, three of Cloud’s fellow soldiers came to assist their commander. The girl headed in the direction of the three remaining soldiers. The young man seemed to be able to take on the group of four with apparative ease. He was blocking each of the blows that they tried to dish out at him, then knocking them off balance. The girl seemed to be winning her battle also. She was kicking them, and doing flips that the three could not keep up with. She had already used her sword to knock the sword out of two of the soldiers, and she was about ready to take care of the third.

The young man knocked the sword out of Cloud’s hand, he punched him and Cloud fell to the ground immediately. He had already knocked the other three soldiers silly, and was seemed to be ready to take his first casualty in Cloud. But just before he was about ready to run his sword through the commander. One of the soldiers got up, picked up his sword, and ran it through the young man’s back. The lad stopped, dropped his sword, and then a few seconds later fell to the ground. Cloud pushed the dying body of the young man aside and got up.

The girl stopped what she was doing suddenly when she noticed what had happened to the young man, and then just put her sword back into the haltar that she had behind her back. Even though she clearly had her three contestants beaten, she did not continue the battle. The girl just looked over the group of soldiers, looked down at the now dead body of the young man, and then just turned around and walked away. The group of men were bewildered by what had just happened, and did not try to pursue her at the moment. One of the men just said to Cloud.

"My God commander, I hope we never run into her again!"

Cloud responded to his soldier by saying.

"I know what you mean, I know what you mean."
