Zanarkand Blitzball Stadium

Tifa followed after Cloud. Where should they even start looking? They weren't familiar with the city at all yet.

Starts walking in the city that is stange to him. " This is going to be hard. i dont know this town." Stops in a spot and look around.

Kuja stood on one of the pillars near the entrance of the stadium. He slowly opened his eyes. "A new location?" he purred at the thought. The silver haired man looked around. "Such technology." he also admired the architecture of the pillars and statues. He chuckled. He noticed a silver haired man. "hmmm..." he jumped and floated down to the road. He entered the building.

Zack looked around amazed on how the city looked. He had never seen anything like Zanarkand before. "This look like stuff that Shinra couldn't even make." he said to himself. He pulled out his phone again and typed a text meassage to Cloud. He could feel people looking at him because of his sword. He just smiled at them and stood near a wall.

Looks at his pocket then at tifa. grabs his phone and looks at who it was. "a Text.... From Zack." still looking at the screen that says he has a new text message from Zack. Finally decided to read it after having a fight in his head about it

Kuja jumped down. He met up with Zack. "Where are you headed?" he asked. He sighed softly.

Zack Looked at Kuja and said,"I am just waiting for my friend to tell me were he is at." Zack answered. There was something about the other male that made him uncomfortable.

Kuja sighed and leaned up against a pillar. "I'm lost." he said softly.

"From Zack? That's impossible. He's dead. I'd answer it, but... don't get your hopes up. It could be a trick," Tifa said doubtfully.

(OOC: So he's NOT dead in this nyu?)
(OOC: Editted)

"I am supposed to be dead." Zack said softly. He was trying to figure out why he was alive after five years of being dead. Maybe it was a dream. he thought. He shivered as he remembered how he died. nope that was defintaly real. he told himself.

((The lifestream brought him back ))

Kuja closed his eyes, lost in his own memories. "Hmm..it must be nice to have friends."

"did you not have many friends were you live?" He asked. "geez Cloud, you can at least text me back with were you are at." He said after awhile as he looked at his cell phone. The phone read No new Messages. he closed it and looked at Kuja. "Don't you get cold in the outfit you are wearing?" He asked.

Ever silent like an assassin, Atlas, having snuck into the stadium while tailing the mysterious youthful SOLDIER, observed him carefully as well as the odd silver-haired man near him. Luckily, he set his cellphone to silently Record, capturing the conversation before editing out the street noise later on. ". . ."

Zack let out a sigh and looked at his cell phone. "I guess it was too good to be true." He said feeling alittle depressed the his friend didn't believe he was alive. It could be worse I could run into Sephiroth or something. He thought as he stayed were he was with Kuja. Right now the male was the only person he could talk to and it was some one he was Fimilar with in this city.

Sephiroth flew above Atlas when somthing...rather SomeONE caught his eye. "Is that...Angeal's student?" He landed. "Zack!" He smirked

Zack looked over and saw the one person he didn't want to see at the moment. "Sephiroth." He said. He got off the wall and looked at the ex-general. Zack had not always hated Sephiroth. The two had somewhat got along back when they both were in Soilder, but that changed the day Sephiroth went insane.

It's at this point in time that Atlas would make his revealing appearance to the SOLDIER, Zack. This was done by his emergence from behind the obscurity of Sephiroth's form (in laymen's terms, he just walked into view from behind Sephy), and stopped in his tracks while facing Zack, his sword and large shield not drawn. ". . ."

Zack saw the other person and asked,"Is there something you want?" He really wanted to get this encounter done and over with. He kept on his guard not knowing what could be going on in the others head at the moment.

Atlas simply stared at Zack with seemingly empty, soulless jade-green eyes. Almost as a surprise, his sword was nowhere to be seen on his person. Despite this, Atlas' right hand did a "thumbs-up" gesture, though not to congratulate anyone, but to point above Zack.

"Huh?" Zack said confused as he looked at the hand gesture.

In an instant, his blade is seen descending quickly right in front of Zack's face, the blade pointed vertically to the floor whilst doing so. With this, Atlas, for once, grinned mischievously. "Scared you, didn't I?"

"Whoa." Zack said as he backed up alittle. He felt stupid for not looking up. sheesh I am rusty. he thought as he looked back at the two.

Atlas seemed to stare at Zack through half-closed green eyes and a still-mysterious sly grin, a trait that's obviously rare in face-to-face situations such as this.

Zack just stood there waiting for Sephiroth to answer him or to just leave. He was beinging to loss his patiecence. "So what is it you guys want?" he asked again.

Atlas' gaze finally shifted to Sephiroth, as if expecting an answer as well.
