Three friends go into battle. One is captured, one flies away...

So, Cloud has been captured and Angeal has flown away. Which is weird, because I don't know if I'd put Cloud down as a "friend", but it does beg the question of who is the third one.

Oh my god, oh Cloud, on Angeal. ): Damn woman, you make me so sad annd so. Ugh.

Huh, I doubt Tseng is going to get wind of this unless he's been secretly following the two without them knowing. Can't wait for this Sunday :>

Huh?!

Wait! That's it?! Oh gosh.

I'm so utterly flabbergasted at the incredible characterization you have here, I can't really say how...simply amazing it is. I love the pace as well, fabulous plotline...my biggest problem is more or less that this isn't on FF.net (or a similar site), so I'll have to remember to keep checking back. ^^; Very much looking forward to more.

Thank you! And I do intend to upload the fic to ff.net, just been lazy and haven't gotten around to it yet. ^_^;

LOL. Very well then. I read through the other comments, and they said you update every Sunday?

Re: Huh?!

That's right. So next chapter will be in a week. :)

At least Angeal admits he was desperate. Now he just needs to learn to stop flying off before anything can be explained. *shakes fist*

Though hee, bored Genesis while Sephiroth gets dumbapple pie is so cute and hilarious to me. x3

I really am seeing a new angle to Genesis's character here that I didn't before. It connects to canon in a way I hadn't realized, but it's so apparent now, with new eyes.

It parallels Crisis Core so well, but you can see he didn't have that final push (like, the wing, most symbolically, but also defecting and murdering, etc.). His reaction to Angeal's mutation is... well it sure is. He didn't think of himself as a monster, yet, just as a desperately sick man.

A powerful ending to a tense chapter.
