Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. Ebony noticed Cloud nod, and he was just about to say something when the door busted open, and PSICOM soldiers poured in. Ebony watched in shock as each and every one of them aimed their guns at Cloud, some even aiming at her. "FIRE!!"The ringing of gunfire and bullets took over the entire bar, and Ebony had to restrain herself from covering her ears. It wasn't until she heard Cloud grunt, when she noticed him up against a wall and bleeding. She could feel the anger build up inside her, and the Source, which lived inside her, flared up, sending power throughout her entire body. She turned towards the PSICOM and put up a Black Protect infront of her for the time being. She watched silently as Cloud shot out lightning bolts, but with the way he was losing blood, he probably wasn't going to be able to do that again. "So, now you've all infiltrated Gaia. Great, just...great."She outstretched her hand towards them, and the PSICOM just stared at her before some went into fits of laughter. They obviously didn't know who they were dealing with it. Ebony's eyes narrowed as she muttered her first spell.
"Black Hell."Black flames appeared around the PSICOM pushing them into a circle so that they wouldn't be burned. They all just stared at her, and understanding started to creep into their eyes. "Black Shot."Small black pentagrams appeared here and there, and at the last second black bullets flew out of each one. They striked at least one soldier, and like flies, they all fell. The black flames then disappeared. Ebony turned towards Cloud. "I lowered the power so that they're just unconscious. I can portal them away somewhere, and they won't remember a thing. Are you ok?" |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "I...I'm fine...."Ebony quickly walked over to where Cloud was trying to get up, but it looked like he wasn't make much of any progress. She placed a hand on his shoulder and kneeled down next to him, examining the wound through his hand and blood. "You're going to have to get that treated. I don't know any White Magic so we'll just have to fix it the old fashion way, with bandages and gauze. Unless you know a mage that can cast Cure, or something along the lines of that.""Do what you want with them....I don't care...."She turned her head to the fallen soldiers and outstretched her unused hand once again. "Black Void."The same large pentagram that had transported Ebony to Gaia appeared underneath the PSICOM. It spinned slightly as each one fell into it, transporting them to an unknown location, where they would wake up, unaware of the events that had just occurred. Ebony turned back towards Cloud. "Need help standing up?" |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "I'm good..."Ebony stood up along with him, but she kept her hand on his shoulder, just so that she could catch him if he lost his footing, or went unconscious. "I got some healing materia in the room on the third floor...The second floor is guest rooms....Could you get that for me? It's in my trunk at the foot of my bed...My room's the last one on the left...."Materia? What was that? Ebony figured it must be something native only to Gaia. In all the magic texts and scrolls she had read, not once did they mention something called Materia. This would be difficult... "I know this may sound like a stupid question to you, but...what's...Materia? Remember, I'm from Cocoon. We don't have this...Materia stuff. Mind sharing some more details?" |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "Oh...Uh...Materia is our special magic...They come in this like transparent small ball....All kind of colors...They're in my bag deep in my trunk...."Ebony nodded, and was just about to set out in search of this Materia, when Cloud started to speak again. "I can understand if you feel like this is too much for you....I understand if you wanna leave...."Too much? Ebony couldn't help herself, and she let out a small chuckle. He obviously didn't know what kind of torment and pain she went through as an abandoned orphan in her childhood. He probably thought she was some posh magician, who was taught by the greatest in all of Cocoon. "Heh. Cloud, you obviously don't know anything about me, and I know you don't. But to me...this is nothing. Now stay here, and don't move. I'll be right back with the Materia."And so, she headed up the stairs, to the third floor, down the hall to the last room on the left, and entered Cloud's room. She headed to the trunk at the foot of the bed, and opened the trunk to see a bunch of multicolor, little balls. She just stared at them, until she realized that she didn't know if there was a certain color for Healing Materia. So, she found one of each color, and hurried back down. |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. Ebony stared as Cloud took one of the Materia off the bar and placed it to vhis wound. The small ball started to glow, before being sucked into his skin. After a few more seconds, she watched as his wound seemed to stitch itself back together, and his wound was gone in minutes. "Wow..."She was broken out of her reverie then by Cloud's voice. "Thanks....."She turned her head towards him, and just smiled. That's what she did. Help those who needed her help, and bring down those who dared to get in her way. "No problem. Anytime, Cloud. So...mind me asking what it's like to be a l'Cie? I never really got to ask anyone back in Cocoon because of all the PSICOM running after them..." |

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. "I hope you never have to find out. But, for me....I think it's crock....I hate it. It changes you. I used to be a hero. Now, I'm an enemy....I don't think there is any other better way of describing just how I feel about it....I just hate it!"Ebony sat down next to Cloud in one of the bar seats, as he talked about how horrible it was to be a l'Cie. She truly felt guilty now for asking him. It was obviously a touchy subject for him...a really touchy subject. She rested her head down on her arms, as her eyes just got that blank, unemotional look in them. "Sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned it...But, you know...there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of things that I hate back in Cocoon as well. But, you learn to live on with what you got. And...I think that's what you have to do, Cloud. Sure, this may have been unintentional and you probably don't want in with all your heart, but...you just gotta learn to live with it. After all, I've done that my whole life. I understand if my life isn't as bad as being a l'Cie to you...but...Just think things over..." |

She was sorry. He was feeling a slight bit better. She was no Tifa telling him all this. But she was at least trying. And he gave her that much credit. He slightly smiled. And just looked up at her then.
"Don't worry yourself about it. It's my problem not yours.....I've learned to deal with it as well. When the time comes, we'll be ready for it. And Ebony...I only hope no one on Cocoon will know you are with me now.....They have settled a base here on this planet searching for me....They want nothing but to kill me. To prevent another world destruction....I can't blame them really...."

Black Researcher Let's get this over with so that I can get back to work. “Don’t worry yourself about it. It’s my problem not your’s…I’ve learned to deal with it as well. When the time comes, we’ll be ready for it. And Ebony…I only hope no one on Cocoon will know you are with me now…They have settled a base here on this planet searching for me….They want nothing but to kill me. To prevent another world destruction….I can’t blame them really….”Ebony raised her head, and just looked at Cloud for a few seconds before smirking. She put her elbow on the counter and rested her chin on the palm of her hand, closing her eyes. “Don’t worry about my safety back on Cocoon. As you can see now, I can take care of myself just fine. And if you want me to, I can sabotage that PSICOM base of yours. Set up Abyss as a guard wolf or something.”She didn’t really know anyone in Cocoon. When you see an orphan walking around a prosperous place such as Cocoon, you configure them with ‘bad.’ And when they grow up, you tend to shy away. And then the matter of Abyss…Well, Ebony was sure he would enjoy messing with PSICOM. |
