"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie began to piece it together as he seemed confused about her mentioning another world. Right, so he was a newbie to Zephron. That made sense. Although Yuffie didn't like to admit, she HAD spent quite a few weeks running around thinking she had become trapped in the past and being worried about stepping on butterflies and stuff before she realised what was happening. It made sense that this other thief was confused. Although she had to admit she was both a little impressed and related; when she first got to Zephron, her reaction had been to go on a crazy crime spree with no consequences. It was only after being there for a while she began to realise that actually there was something worth fighting for in that place. That she could be a hero there too.
"Okay, well, you'd better get used to the whole, leg, pully, thing," she said, glaring where she hung, since he had now pinned her arms too. Well, this wasn't going well. "'cause it's the truth. We're all stuck on some other world. It's called Zephron. You're in a town called Torensten. People are coming here from all kinds of other worlds," Maybe she should rethink opening that tour business. It'd be a sure way to make gil, helping newly displaced people finding their feet. For a modest fee, of course. "Also, JERKY McJERKface, I'm NOT a kid! I told you! I'm Yuffie Kisaragi! I helped save the WORLD. AND I'm a badass ninja! So... less of the... lip... yeah! Besides, you're lucky I'm NOT a kid 'cause the blood is totally rushing to my head and making me feel super woozy and if I was just a kid hanging here and you were letting me hang here you'd be totally guilty of cruelty to kids so you're lucky I'm NOT!" she half-yelled, mostly rambling but feeling that she had made a good point.
He let her go, and went on about some team called... what? "Returners? Your big team of heroes is called 'Returners'? What do you do, team up to return overdue library books?" she guffawed where she hung, with a big grin on her face. Okay, it wasn't like AVALANCHE was much better as far as names went, but Returners!? A particularly bad name, she thought, for a thief to join. "Anyway, like I told you, you're on a new world. So there won't be any Returners. Or an Emperor or a Kafitkia or whatever you said," she told him. "Unless there is," she paused. "Uh, maybe. Look, sometimes the bad guys come over here too. But then they don't have their memories or whatever. It's SUPER weird..."
He listed his terms for cutting her down, and she stared back. "Okay, firstly, we're both thieves, so, of COURSE we didn't see each other. Total thief code," she nodded. "B), I told you, I'm NOT a newbie. What part of 'saved the world' didn't you get? Maybe that bandana is wrapped too tightly around your ears," she remarked. "And number three, what kinda name for a place is 'Narsh'. It sounds like something a cartoon character would say when they laugh. 'GWAHAHAHAHA NARSH!'" she mocked in a goofy voice.
"Anyway, if you DO cut me down, I can tell the Dragonblades about your bad guys and we can put 'em on our list of totally bad guys we're looking out for. They don't have silver hair do they? 'cause, like, so far, that's the ONE defining character trait..."

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
It felt like it had been a long journey, but finally, there he was! There was no doubt that the person currently fiddling with one of those stupid two wheeled motorised bike thingies that the Shinra peeps liked was Cloud. She'd recognise that spiky hair anywhere! He seemed to be busy, trying, to figure out how to attach his dumb giant sword to the bike, which just proved to Yuffie that yes, it was a really dumb weapon and it'd have made way more sense to just have a shuriken. You know, like a normal person.
"Ha! I knew it!" she beamed, running over. "I knew you couldn't get that thing around easily!" she announced, jabbing a finger at the sword. And then she struck a pose, hands on her hips, hips cocked to the side, wearing a big smirk. She kinda wished she'd brought her moogle cloak to dramatically throw it off and reveal who it was, but, oh well. "Yep! That's right! It's me! Did ya miss me!?" she asked with a big grin.
"Now, I didn't bring enough materia for BOTH of us, 'cause, well, I didn't realise we were all gonna get sucked into an alternative dimension thingie, but I got some, and I'm TOTALLY ready to help!" she insisted, pausing to throw a few punches to show her level of preparation. "An' I got Caius here who is basically my new sidekick! So, like, the three of us should be TOTALLY ready to go deal with Sephiroth, don'tcha think?"
She paused, and then she peered at him, leaning forwards. "I HEARD you tried to fight him on your own and got all beat up," she added, critically. "I mean, that's you for you, right? Always getting into trouble," she went on, before leaning back to talk to Caius. "See? He's useless without me," she told him. "But now me and my kick-butt materia are here to help, we can't loose! Look, I got, uh, Fire 3, and Ice 3, and Bolt 3, and Cure 3, oh, and Chocomog! 'cause, I bet Sephiroth won't see a GREAT BIG CHOCOBO coming to kick him in the face!" she explained, juggling her materia orbs to show them off to Cloud. "Caius doesn't have materia 'cause he sucks but it's okay he's got a gun that's also a sword. Or maybe a sword that's also a gun. I dunno. I told him it was dumb but he insists it works."

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Caius pointed out that Yuffie should have asked about Cloud's location. Which maybe she should have, but she had just assumed that he'd tell her. Oh well, she guessed it didn't matter. They'd see Cloud soon. And she could tell him about how she was joining the Dragonblades to do good! That'd show him! She bet he'd think she'd go right off the rails and just steal and be a brat if he knew she was there. He'd be surprised to see her being a hero! Yeah, that'd wipe the smug look off his face!
The smug look she had just imagined all on her own.
"Yeah, I know. But the job will be easy! And once you've seen how much butt I kick in the field, you'll be begging me to join the Dragonblades!" she pointed out confidently. Of course, some of this was Yuffie's usual arrogance. But it wasn't untrue. Bandits and small things like that Yuffie really could handle. Her skills had grown immensely travelling with Cloud, and she felt confident that she could handle anything small time easily. After saving the world, bandits seemed like small fry.
He didn't seem to say anything about Tifa and Cloud. Maybe they had broken up? "Y'know, maybe Cloud isn't over Aerith after all. That was another girl back home, but she... uh, well, she died," Yuffie's expression changed for a moment, and for the briefest moment, she looked serious. She didn't like remembering Aerith. Well, no, that was a lie. She had loved Aerith. She had been one of the few people Yuffie hadn't teased. She hated remembering how she had died. "Tifa... I think Tifa has always loved Cloud. But Cloud... I dunno. If Aerith hadn't... I dunno who he would have chosen," she admitted.
"He's just lucky Aerith beat me to asking him on a date! Or was it Tifa? I dunno. Barret maybe? Someone did. But I was gonna, at the Gold Saucer, and I bet if I'd asked him, he'd NEVER have even thought of those two!" Yuffie added, grinning broadly.
Her grin faded a little when she noticed Caius's glare at her comparing him to Shinra people. "Oh, don't give me that look," she said dismissively. "I don't mean, like, people who WORK for Shinra. I mean, like, the people who lived in Shinra Cities. Y'know, back home, Shinra controlled most of the world. So like, y'know, Gaijin. Foreigners. Non-Wutaians. They were always trying to develop new technologies, and new ways of doing things. New robots, new mechs, new machines, new weapons. But in Wutai, we believed in honouring the old ways. Honouring our past. It's why we fight with weapons like my shuriken, and not their dumb guns," she explained.
"You like tinkling?" she asked, frowning a little. "Sounds gross. You should learn to play Fort Condor. THAT'S a fun way to kill time. I could teach you?" she suggested cheerfully, although she wasn't sure where she'd get a a Fort Condor game board from in Zephron. Maybe she could remember it well enough to teach him. Maybe change some of the more unfair rules, while she was at it...

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie dangled helplessly, her expression a mixture of annoyance and playful embarrassment. She gave a slightly sheepish grin at him as he seemed to correct her on calling him a thief. Not a thief but a treasure hunter? Well, THAT sounded familiar. "Oh yeah? Well, I'M the Treasure Princess," she replied. Okay, it had been a few years since she'd used that particular nickname for herself, but it seemed a good time to bring it up. "Also the World's Greatest Materia Hunter!" she added. In Zephron, she was possibly also the world's ONLY materia hunter, but she decided not to bring that up. "So I know EXACTLY what you mean," she said, meaning, yes, she knew he was there to rob the place.
He prodded her with a broom, which, well, rude, causing her to swing around, dangling in a circle. "Hey! Quit it!" she called out, but there wasn't much she can do. "I-I mean, I could break myself free, but, uh, I wouldn't wanna- Uh, um, hang on..." she said as she span around away from the thief, no longer facing him. "Hold on. Back in a minute..." She trailed off as she continued to rotate, until eventually the thief came back into her view as she span around. "What was I saying? Right, yeah, totally, could break myself free, but, I wouldn't wanna use up all my badassery doing that. Besides, it'd probably make you SUPER scared about who you're facing, and you kinda look like a pants wetter, and nobody wants to cause that..."
He then asked about her being a General in the Dragonblades, which caused her to pause. "Well, I'm not, I mean, they haven't OFFICIALLY given me the rank of General. I'm more like, a new recruit. BUT, but, BUUUUUUT, I am by far the most experienced and most kick butt. I saved the world y'know? I mean, not THIS world, another world, but I totally did! So I'm basically, an honorary General," she explained. Besides, Caius was bound to give her that rank soon, right? "My boss, he's- Oh, um, hang on-" She said, as once again she rotated around to be facing away from him. "Uh, gimme a sec...." she called out, as she slowly rotated, until Locke came back into view.
"Anyway, my boss, uh, well, I wouldn't say I have a BOSS. Obviously. I mean, he knows I'M the most experienced one, so I'm basically in charge. But, like, I guess, officially, it's this guy called Caius," Yuffie said. "Don't tell him I said he knew I was the most experienced one though. He gets totally embarrassed about it and doesn't like admitting it," she explained. "I don't know about any dumb Empire though. Sounds evil and like it needs a butt-whupping, though!" she remarked, and then gave another sheepish grin.

"AH HA HA HA HA HA!" The sudden voice rang out across the otherwise quiet, darkened gallery, seemingly from nowhere. (Or, maybe, from one of the rafters where clearly somebody was crouched and hiding, but it was from NOWHERE, okay!?). "You're in for it now, evil doer!" the voice called out, and then, suddenly, there she sprang, out into full view on one of the rafters, cloaked in her big moogle cloak. Yes, of course it was Yuffie. Who else?
"You thought this place undefended? Well, maybe you'd have been right! If it wasn't for ME! Yeah, you better panic, now, 'cause you're up against The Guardian of Torensten! The Legend from Wutai! The honourable General of the Dragonblades herself! The Champion of the Earth and Sky, the Conqueror of Evil... That's right, it's me!" And she threw off her moogle cloak, posing dramatically on the rafter. "The one and only YUFFIE!" she declared, striking a pose with her shuriken on her back, and her hips cocked.
"And as an OFFICIAL Dragonblade and defender of this city, I'm here to stop all and any thieves and sneaksters, and guess who just made my naughty list? That's right, buster! So get ready for the biggest ass whooping of your life time!" she announced, leaping from the rafter. She got about half way down before the safety chord that she had tied on went taught, having completely forgotten that she was tied onto it, and she came to a halt with a "-WUH!?", where she froze, suspended in the air, before slowly rotating upside down, the obvious safety line tied around her waist keeping her from getting any further down and leaving her hanging there.
"Uuuuuuuh, that's right! I'm so confident I can beat, you I can do it.... while hanging in the air! SO THERE! BRING IT ON!" she called as she dangled upside down from the rope, without much ability to move or, well, do anything at all....

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
"Yeah, but I thought we were gonna HUNT for him. Y'know, like an adventure," Yuffie replied when he confirmed he had said Cloud was in Provo. Okay, had she been there when he'd mentioned this Yuna lady? Maybe. But she didn't know he like had his exact address. That was slightly less exciting. And meant that they'd be seeing Cloud sooner than she expected. She was surprisingly nervous. Cloud was... never quite her BIGGEST fan, even if she worked hard to win him over after her... uh, misdeeds... and she wasn't sure how he'd react to it being HER that found him out of all the gang.
Plus he might tell Caius the truth about her and she didn't really want him finding that out. He'd never let her in the Dragonblades if he found out about her materia stealing act.
"Wait, Tifa's here too? But NOT with Cloud?" Yuffie asked, a little surprised by that. Tifa was ALSO not exactly her biggest fan. In fact, out of all the gang of her old party, those were the two probably still holding the most grudge against her. Especially Tifa. Which was unusual because Tifa was pretty compassionate, but Yuffie guessed she'd really pissed her off. Cloud had (mostly) she thought forgiven her, especially after his own lies had been revealed. Even if his lies had been like, a psychotic break, and not, just, basic lying. "That's weird. I thought those two were totally together. They did the dirty underneath the airship once and didn't realise we were all watching," she said, because Yuffie had no filter and sometimes information just blurted out. "Well, kinda. The others covered my eyes and made me look away. Said I was too young. AS IF."
"Oh, you mean, like how I have natural talent for BEING AWESOME," Yuffie replied when he explained Yuna's talent, although she was a little disappointed. Zephron wasn't quite like anywhere she had ever been, and she had gotten around. But here, the rules of what governed magic and ability seemed to completely change upon who was using it. It wasn't like back home, where gathering materia would grant you more magical powers. Here, you never knew what powers somebody may or may not have. It was strange.
"Well, it's not my fault I'm too awesome to make mistakes," Yuffie replied with a shrug when he tried to point out her error tripping over. Although in retrospect maybe that was why she was such a good ninja! If you learned every time you tripped over something, given the amount of times Yuffie tripped over, it was no wonder she was a BADASS!
"D'yknow how many failed modifications my shuriken went through before it was ready?" Yuffie asked back, grinning, when he started the story about his gunblade. "NONE. 'cause it's a shuriken. It's already perfect. They've been around for like, a zillion years, and used by Wutai Ninja since like, the dawn of time or whatever. Sometimes, things are pretty perfect the way they are. You don't gotta spend ages making a new weapon and tinkering with it and putting stupid mechanics in when you don't need 'em. The sword is like, a zillion years old too. It's already pretty perfect," she said, with a cheerful shrug. "I swear, you're just like the Shinra peeps back home. Always messing with stuff that's already good. You don't gotta reinvent the wheel y'know? Sometimes, all you need is four big spikes stuck to a thing you can throw. The ultimate weapon, already!"
"Ooooor, to put it your way, OTHER generations over like, thousands of thousands of years, have made all the mistakes already, so you don't have to!"

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie couldn't help but give Caius a surprised look when he said he knew where Cloud was. Had he said that before? Yuffie had thought he had said that Cloud was missing, but he kind of knew where he might be. Not that he knew exactly where he was. That made life a lot easier! "Hey! You coulda said you knew where he was BEFORE!" she pouted as she followed along behind him, as if that would have improved their situation in any way. It would have at least helped her make up a more convincing lie about why walking was a great idea.
"That DOES sound like Cloud, though. Skipping like a third of the entire adventure bein' sick and restin' up. I wonder if Tifa's with him this time too? I bet she's gotta be around somewhere!" Yuffie exclaimed, forgetting of course that (as far as she knew) Caius had no idea who Tifa was. "She can SUMMON with natural magic? Woooooooooow," Yuffie whistled with surprise. "I wonder if she can teach me to do that! Then I can summon my OWN dragon, like Bahamut! Or Neo Bahamut! Or Zero Bahamut!" she said with excitement, jumping around a little with the idea now that her queasiness had worn off. "No offence Vordun! I know you totally wanna come with me, but, poor Caius there would be TOOOOO upset," she added to the dragon following them.
"Ohhh, okay, gather intel! But don't forget to bring me along if you need me! I'm a ninja, remember? SUPER sneaky, which means I'm great at gather-WHOA!" she tripped over a big stick as she was busy telling Caius how great she was at not making a noise, and stumbled forward, arms flailing as her legs wheeled beneath her, before she caught herself, falling past him and then turning around as she finally managed to right herself before hitting the ground.

The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie turned around, hands on her hips, with them cocked to the side as she eyed up Caius who had just suggested about walking. "Uh, I'm the Single White Rose of Wutai, I THINK I can handle a little cho-" she paused, half way through snapping back at him, as her stomach gurgled with the newfound energy that she had put into her protests, and she suddenly turned a shade of green, and ran off towards a nearby bush.
A few moments of retching later, and she staggered back to face him, swaying a little uneasily on her feet. She groaned. "...But, uh, I guess, walking is... y'know, better...." she admitted after a moment. "We might run into some monsters. Gotta... gotta keep the skills sharp! You miss all that on a chocobo," she pointed out. "Plus, Cloud! If he's around here, we gotta keep an eye out. Yep, definitely better to walk. Just for those reasons. No other reason," she decided, heading out on foot.
She hadn't really thought about what Vordun was going to do, but she hadn't quite expected him to just plod along behind them. Yuffie took in a deep breath of air, trying to enjoy the feeling of no longer being about to throw up everywhere. She turned back. "See? Isn't this better? Jus' a couple of badasses taking their dragon for a walk!" Yuffie said, her chirpy tone beginning to return the longer they were on the ground. "Now, let's see if we can find that town!" she said confidently, before remembering she didn't actually know the way.

The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie just groaned and gave Caius a dirty look when he told her that he knew Vordun wasn't tired. Ugh. Why did people have to be so mean and call out her lies all the time? Why couldn't people just let her tell obvious lies and stop pointing out when they weren't true? Darn it!
Luckily, Vordun still landed shortly, and Yuffie was off the back seat before Caius could get to her to help her. She might have felt sick, but she was still a ninja, and she'd be darned if she was spending a second longer on the back of the dragon. As soon as she was on the ground, she queasily stumbled forward, and then decided to just lay face first on the ground, arms and legs spread out like a starfish, as if she was hugging the ground.
"Ugh. I am never leaving you again. Never ever, she mumbled into the grass, before rolling over, and laying on her back, where she stared up at the sky, hoping that the ground would stop spinning. "If humans were meant to fly... float materia would be way more useful," she commented with a groan. Then, slowly, she sat up, taking in where ever they were. After a few moments, she spotted in the distance the chocobo farm.
"Hey! Look! A chocobo farm!" she called out, excitedly getting back to her feet, and pausing only to groan as her stomach wretched. "We can go there and get a chocobo instead!" she suggested enthusiastically, apparently as if neither of them wanted to fly on Vordun anymore. Yuffie didn't care about what she had said before, right now, all she knew was that there was no way she wanted to get back on the dragon...

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie gave Caius a look that she was sure he couldn't see, since he was still riding the dragon. She paused, and just decided to stick her tongue out at him. "Water schmater, I'm dyin' here," she moaned dramatically, as if she was on her death bed. Or in a grade school play and putting on an over-the-top death scene. Y'know, one of the two.
"Heeeey," she whined. "It's not an act! I can't help it if I'm super tough and super cool!" she countered. But then she looked down and felt her stomach wretch one more time. "Althoooooooooough, landing for a little bit does sound good. Let's do that," she said with a nod, deciding that this was the best course of action.
"It's okay, I'm sure that Vorlun could use the rest anyway!" she added, trying to bring a bit of chirp back into her voice despite her painful stomach.
