Assassins in Gaia√

16. Costa Del Sol

(Hello Final Fantasy 7 and Assassin Creed fans.
Sorry I didn't upload this story in a while. Trying to get the past of FF7 right is difficult as there is not much in the game. I'm going by what I read on game theory.
Assassins Creed and FF7 does not belong to me!
"talking"
'thinking'
Enjoy!)

Desmond gave a sigh as he sat under the shade of the parasol, enjoying the sunshine and the ocean breeze. He looked at where Ace, Cloud and Tifa were goofing around in the water which looked a little too yellow for his tastes. Ace had assured him it was safe and nothing dangerous so he didn't protest when Ace and the others went to the water. The kids were wearing a set of colorful swimwear. Tifa wore a blue and pink one piece swimsuit, Cloud a green and yellow swimming trunks and Ace wore yellow and blue swimming trunks. Vincent had decided to sit next to him opting to stay out of the kid's games although looking at his bright gaze Desmond could tell he was enjoying the peace.

Desmond eyed Cloud's Cockatrice as she played with the kids. Cockatrice was a female, this time apparently, her Sire was Cloud's father's partner. He had appeared when Cloud had first used the summon Materia three months back. Cockatrice had been prepared to rant at his summoner for forgetting about him. But when he saw Cloud instead he realized what no doubt happened. He greeted Cloud and made it clear, Storm was the only summoner he would answer to and instead offered his daughter. The young female was curious and challenged Cloud to test him in combat. She was very impressed by the battle style Cloud used and agreed to become his summon. Cloud had named her Frigga, one month later due to her mother henning habits.

Ace walked over after a while, "Des, come on, join us!"

Desmond, "Oh, no thanks."

Tifa, "Please Desmond, the water is great."

Cloud nodded, "Please, just for a bit. Even Frigga is enjoying."

Frigga, -Join us elder.-

Desmond sighed smiling, "Fine, but only a few minutes, we promised Aunty, we'll be inside in time for lunch."

Cloud smiled, "Yeah, we will, don't worry."

Desmond smiled happy to see Cloud and Tifa smiling happily once again, especially after everything that happened six months ago. It was in a word a clusterfuck. Shinra had refused to answer the Mayor's requests and questions about the death of the workers, half of whom were the villagers. The villagers were livid and wanted compensation from the company and when they received no answer decided unanimously to shut down the mako reactor. It would take two years to shut the reactor down but they would do it. Vincent had in the meantime, gleefully burned down the mansion after collecting the three materia and weapons scattered here and there.

Flashback:

Desmond stood outside the mansion two months after their little adventure. They had more than once tried to contact Shinra about his Uncle, Cloud's father, but there was no answer whatsoever. Cloud got more and more upset the past two months and Ace and Tifa got upset because Cloud was upset. If Desmond had not known better, he would have thought they were triplets instead of best friends. On top of that, according to Vincent, he was experimented on with demon blood. WTF Shinra! And by that he meant literal demon blood and his body used as a conduit to summon and trap demons. Desmond pinched his nose and gave a sigh at how far the scientist had fallen.

Desmond, "Are you sure about burning it down? Won't it attract attention?"

Vincent shrugged, "They are currently busy with war. The thing about wars,assets are always lost in wars."

Ace, "We have spread the flammable material all around the building."

Tifa, "It's ready to burn."

Cloud was smiling a little evilly, "Go for it!"
