Yuffie could relate when Terra admitted she also wondered what had happened back home. Although Yuffie wondered if it was the same for her. For Yuffie, it had been on the cusp of the destruction of everything. They had defeated Sephiroth but the meteor was still falling, and she had no idea if Aerith and the Life Stream had stopped it in time. She had to believe it had, but... she didn't know. Sephiroth had been no help, obviously. Caius kept mentioning Cloud, but she still hadn't found him. Maybe he could offer some answers.
"Eh, I'm sure things back home are fine for me," Yuffie said with a confidence she didn't feel. "I mean, we saved the world, right? That means it should stay saved for, like, at least five minutes. It's probably a lot less awesome there now, though, since I'm not there anymore," she quipped with her usual bravado to avoid having to actually think about it too much. Since she couldn't get home or do anything about it, it was best to just try and be confident, she decided.
The girl seemed a bit distant about something though, and Yuffie did what she thought was best; pry. Of course. With her hands clasped behind her back, she peered at Terra thoughtfully. "Ohhh, are you scared 'cause you think one of YOUR bad guys might be here too? Don't worry! I'll totally kick his butt too! I beat up Sephiroth, I can take anyone! Just watch me!" she said enthusiastically, running from spot to spot throwing fake punches suddenly, just to demonstrate her total badass-itude, of course.
She listened intently as Terra explained magicite again, in case it was access to more power. "Wait, so magicite gives you access to magic and grows as you carry it? Whaaaat? That's just a total materia rip off!" Yuffie protested, as if somehow one universe doing something her universe did was a 'rip off'. "Bet materia's prettier though! Look at it!" she pulled out an orb, throwing it into the air, and catching it, before returning it to her materia slot. "Neat, huh?"

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie groaned when Caius mentioned that he could slow Vordun down if she wanted. While that did seem like it might make her feel slightly less like she was going to throw her own stomach up out of her mouth, she did also think that getting to where they were going faster might be the best option. She just groaned, half slumping against Caius's back. "No, no, I'm... I'm good... the sooner we get there... the..." she stopped to wretch, and force any potential vomit back down, and just let out a long groan. Ugh, this had been a terrible idea. She hated flying. Why oh why hadn't she stuck to the original plan?
Oh yeah, 'cause dragons were cool. But she decided dragons were definitely better being admired from the ground.
"Y'knoooow, you could at least be a little sympathetic, I'm dyin' back here...." she said with a groan, when he told her there were no sick bags, but she could have water if she wanted. As if that'd help. Honestly, she just wanted to get back on the ground as soon as possible. Cautiously, she looked over the edge, peering down at the ground below. It didn't help. Below she saw the ground whizzing by, and the tiny trees. Wow, they were high up. This was not a place to fall off.
Okay, deep breaths, Yuffie she thought to herself, breathing in and trying to focus as her stomach did somersaults. She tried to think back, what was that advice Cloud had given her on the Highwind for dealing with motion sickness? She thought back, trying to picture him speaking in her head.
Blah blah blah, I'm Cloud, I totally lied about who I was, but everybody's fine with that even though they were really moody with you for lying about stealing their materia. Look at my spikey hair. Isn't it dumb? Blah blah blah.
Darn it! Why hadn't she paid attention? She just groaned again.
"Um, so, like, not that I'm not doing totally awesome back here, but, uh, how much further is it?" she groaned miserably.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie considered Terra's question for a moment. The way she described Yuffie's world was, well, if Yuffie was honest, fairly accurate. A war and a madman. Yep, had both of those. Although the war back home hadn't really been endless. It had ended when Wutai surrendered. And then had just what happened really been a war? Shinra had everything and AVALANCHE had nothing and it wasn't like Wutai committed their forces, outside of Yuffi. And they'd won!
Soooooooo basically this meant that Yuffie was as good as an army. Just like she'd always suspected! "Well, the wars kinda come and go. Our last one ended when I totally kicked that madman's butt!" Yuffie grinned, throwing a few mock punches to demonstrate as she got to her feet. "I mean, I had a team, but we all knew I was basically in charge," she beamed. And then she paused, and looked a bit more uncertain. "I thought we killed the madman too, Sephiroth, was his name, but now I've seen him wondering around here... drinking coffee. It's WEIRD. But we definitely saved the world, though!" she added, smiling again.
And then she paused.
"Well, I THINK we did. Honestly, it was kinda not very clear. This big meteor was still falling then there was the Lifestream and Aerith's spirit and storms n' stuff. And Midgar began to get all battered and suddenly I was here and I have no idea what happened. It's... super weird," she reiterated, with a frown. "I mean, c'mon Zephron! You couldn't have waited like, five minutes so I could see how things ended?" she yelled up at the sky.
Yuffie eyed up the cloak as Terra showed her it and considered the backstory Terra offered. "I mean, it's not as cute as my moogle cloak, but it's pretty sweet," she agreed, picking up a corner of the cloak to peer at it a little closer. "If Caius says it's okay, he might take it as proof you can join," she nodded. "Uh, I mean, obviously, as I'm in charge, the final decision is mine, but Caius likes to think he is so I let him pretend to decide," she added quickly.
Yuffie had seen enough people use magic without materia in Zephron by now, but she always thought it was unfair, and a little cool. She looked closely. "Ohh, awesome! On my world, the only person who could do that was Aerith. She was totally the last Cetra. She... died, and it was super sad, but it's okay, because she might be alive again as a kind of life stream ghost spirit thing that stopped the meteor. It was... um, really unclear," Yuffie paused. "On MY world, you need materia to cast magic. Like this!" She held up her hand, and the orb in her shuriken on her back glowed as she produced a similar tiny fireball. "See? And the more you use it, the more powerful the materia gets!" she explained cheerfully.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie cocked her head to the side and grinned when the girl told her that she wasn't so bad. "Of course I'm not, I told ya, I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie. I'm awesome!" she beamed with perhaps slightly forced cheer, to push down the emotions of what she had just been talking about, but she could see that the girl was crying. Poor Jenny. Janey. Jessie! She guessed it must have been pretty rough.
Wait a minute, she was Jessie from Midgar! And Tifa and Cloud and Barret used to know a Jessie from Midgar! Who they said had died in the Platefall and they'd been SUPER sad about it. Sometimes they talked about her. And Biggs and Wedge too. The other members of AVALANCHE. Yuffie knew how that was, because she had her own team of AVALANCHE peeps that she had no idea whether they made it out or not (but it was very possible they didn't). There had been Nayo, and Zhijie, and Billy Bob, and Polk. She still remembered them all. They had been good friends, even if at first Yuffie hadn't known what to make of them. Nayo had been sweet and Zhijie had been brave and Polk had taught her Fort Condor. She had last seen them getting out of Sector Seven, and she hoped they had stayed out, but Yuffie realised she had no real idea what had happened to them... "Saaaay, if you're Jessie, you're like, THE Jessie, right? The one who used to hang out with Tifa and Barret and Cloud? Do they know you're still alive? 'cause Cloud's here in Zephron somewhere. Except I haven't found him yet! But I keep hearing about him, and I will sooner or later. Someone's gotta look out for him! That Cloud can't take care of himself, y'know?" she said with a chirpy smile.
"You're not dead, silly!" Yuffie laughed. "Also, you're not back in time. I spent a LONG time thinking that. This is Zephron. It's like, another planet or something. No idea how we got here, but loads of different people from aaaaall over have ended up here. Some from our world. Some from others. It's kinda super strange," she explained the best that she could.
"An' awwww, I'm sure you're not a jerk. Not really. I mean, everybody does some jerkish stuff some times. Like when they steal materia from their friends and run away and try to hide it but they totally had good intentions, honest. Um, just as a random example...."

The Great Ninja Yuffie!
"Huh, well, okay then. Noooo problem!" Yuffie agreed to the 'going fast' thing, while she desperately tried to think of an excuse to not agree to the 'going fast' thing. "He knows I don't have a weird alternate dimension storage pouch like you, right? 'cause if my shuriken falls off and goes flying it might stab someone, like, RIGHT in the eye and be all gross and bloody and stuff, and then that'd be your fault 'cause you're the driver? So, y'know, maybe, it's safest to go slow..." she suggested, the idea suddenly coming to her. She did, of course, stop to mime blood gushing out of an eye part way through her excuse too, because some things just had to be done.
However, it didn't seem to stop him, and he kicked off, with the dragon taking to the air. While it didn't seem PARTICULARLY fast to Yuffie, who had at least experienced flying on the Highwind (well, she had experienced laying on the deck of the Highwind trying not to hurl while it flew), it was a very different experience, sitting on the back of a soaring dragon rather than actually on an airship itself. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Yuffie yelled out as the air flew past, her arms flailing slightly. Perhaps the small mercy was that she didn't feel as sick as she usually would; it turned out she really WAS better at riding animals than vehicles. In a vehicle, where you were detached from the moving... whatever it was, well, her stomach couldn't handle it, but on the back of a dragon? It was just like a chocobo. A chocobo you had no control over because somebody else was flying it. And it could go up and down too and you felt the lurch and beat of every huge leathery wing.
"Hrk." Nope, never mind, there it was. Her hand flew to her mouth, and Yuffie turned a particular shade of green as the dragon began to take them on their journey. She let out a groan, and half sunk into Caius's back as she clung on for what was rapidly becoming dear life. "Um.... just.... uh.... it's... it's super.... awesome.... going this fast.... but.... uh.... tell... tell Vordun... he can... he can slow down.... if he likes...." she said weakly, clearly feeling very ill.
She let out a long groan, and buried her head between her hands for a moment, against Caius's back. "Um, totally unrelated.... I don't... suppose dragons come with... sick bags?" she groaned uncomfortably.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie paused when Jessie asked how Yuffie could say that they had taken revenge on Shinra, and she looked across at the girl, for a moment a pang of regret in her heart. Yuffie stopped to consider how to explain what she meant, without sounding like a total brat. She could be pretty combative, she knew, but she'd been there when the plate fell. And nobody should have gone through that.
"I was there, y'know?" she mentioned after a moment. "When the plate came down. I was on a mission, inside Shinra HQ. I was trying to steal their ultimate materia, only... well, it all went wrong. There was this lady, all in red. In Shinra. And she told us about what they were planning. I didn't really understand at first. I mean, she said they were gonna drop a plate and I thought she meant in the kitchen or..." Yuffie trailed off, the seriousness of what she was saying for once overriding her somewhat jokey tone. "But he knew. Sonon. He was... He was my partner..." she explained. "On the mission. Me and Sonon. We were working together. And he knew. He understood. And together... I don't know. We thought we were heroes. We were inside Shinra, and we knew they had this evil plan, and it was like a storybook or something. We were gonna stop 'em and save the day. Except..." She trailed off, and sighed. "We didn't. Sonon died, saving my life. Shinra killed him and then they dropped the plate anyway. And I saw it happen. And all I could think was... that it was just... wrong. The story wasn't meant to go that way. We were the heroes. We were meant to stop the evil scheme. But we... we failed. And all those people died. And even though it was Midgar and Shinra, sometimes... I think... if I'd just done something differently. If I'd been smarter or understood earlier or had made that stupid red lady come with us, maybe I could have stopped it. Maybe it was my fault..."
"But then I realised something. It's not MY fault and it's not YOUR fault. It was Shinra's fault. It was all Shinra. This is what they do. They did it to Wutai, and then they did it to Midgar. They kill all the good people and make us feel like it was our fault. I spent my life blamin' my Dad for losing the Wutai war. But it's not his fault we lost. It was Shinra who attacked us. Shinra who were killin' us. Shinra are the bad guys. They always were," Yuffie explained.
"An' maybe you're right. Maybe it don't mean anything in the long run, but we beat 'em in the end. We got Shinra back. Shinra are gone. All those high up stuffed shirt guys who ordered it... All of 'em are dead. Even the red lady and President Shinra and Rufus. Shinra's gone. We won. That's gotta count for something right? It's gotta have been for something?" she asked, sounding surprisingly earnest, for Yuffie.
Yuffie just quirked an eyebrow at the girl when she asked her next question though. "What? No, I'm not here for you. Especially not since you don't have Fort Condor," she replied. "And I'm not a Torminator, I told you! I'm Yuffie!" she added, getting the word wrong, obviously.
Disappointment flickered across Yuffie's face as Caius confirmed he couldn't teach her his universe warping trick. Well, that was sucky. What was even the point of becoming a Dragonblade if you didn't get ker-azy magic powers out of it?
Well, Yuffie supposed it was still a cool name.
"Aw, hey, I get it. It's kinda like me bein' a total badass. Some things just can't be taught," she grinned, although it was obvious Yuffie was playing around.
She, unusually for Yuffie, followed his safety instructions regarding strapping herself in. The fact that she didn't make any quips about ninjas not needing seatbelts or how she was too awesome to need to tie herself to a dragon was probably a bigger indicator that she was actually slightly nervous than anything else she had said so far. Still, she steadfastly refused to admit it, even as she looked back at Caius as he joked back about going as fast as possible.
"Oh, I'm totally ready to go SUPER fast!" she replied. "But, uh, Vordun isn't used to having two people on his back. So um, best we go slow. For his sake, yeah?" she suggested quickly. Not because flying super fast on a dragon wouldn't be AWESOME, but mostly because Yuffie was still aware of her travel sickness, and not exactly entirely sure if she would be okay on a dragon or not. She was suspecting not, and she didn't want to do anything to encourage that...

The Great Ninja Yuffie!
The last time Yuffie had spoken to Jessie she had been equally grumpy. It seemed that her attitude had not improved. Maybe she was just the grumpy type. She made a comment about dying, and Yuffie just shrugged. "Eh, I guess that makes sense," she said, sounding a little disappointed. She missed Fort Condor. It had been fun running all over Midgar, challenging people to games and collecting prizes. Back in more innocent times. For a moment, something that almost passed for sensitivity flickered across Yuffie's face. "I saw the plate fall, y'know. It was pretty... rough. But... we got Shinra back! TOTALLY wrecked 'em!" she added, trying to encourage her.
Okay, so maybe Shinra's downfall had been inevitable and probably hadn't really involved much input from Yuffie and the gang, but hey, she could take credit for some of it, right?
"Jessie!" she repeated, "Yeah, totally, that's what I said," she confirmed, despite the fact she hadn't really been close. "I'm Yuffie, as in, 'The Great Ninja', and the 'Scourge of Shinra', the girl who totally whupped Shinra's butt," she beamed, throwing a few quick air punches to show off her awesome badassery.
"Soooo," she said, jumping down to sit on the fountain wall. "Seems like people's memories are pretty wacko when they come to Zephron. Do you remember any of that? The great big meteor? Sephiroth unleashing all the Weapons n' stuff? 'cause, I totally stopped that!" she said proudly. "I mean, I had a LITTLE help, but I was basically in charge," she boasted.

The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Mysteries ran through the world of Zephron like a river flowed through a mountain. Where ever you looked, there was a puzzle, whether it was a dimensionally misplaced adventurer, or an abandoned carriage with a missing passenger. But, at that moment in time, the immediate mystery that came to the mind of anybody in the vicinity was probably...
...where had Yuffie found a trench coat and fedora?
As usual, the Dragonblades were a port of call when problems arose, and so they had heard about the carriage that had been discovered, and the mysterious missing passenger. Of course, as soon as Yuffie had heard about it, she had persuaded Caius (through much nagging) that they should investigate, given that there was likely a reward. And a person in danger! She remembered to mention that second bit. So it was time to go and be heroes, right? That's what the Dragonblades were for!
And so, that was how Yuffie and Caius arrived at the scene. Although, of course, it didn't answer where Yuffie had found the trench coat or fedora. But, some things were better off not asked.
Travel by dragon had gotten them there quickly, but the mysterious scene was still cordoned off by authorities. Yuffie strode towards them brazenly, without a concern in a world. In her mouth, she chewed what looked to be a cigarette, but closer inspection would reveal was the stick of a lollypop she was currently sucking on. "Detective Kisragi, Dragonblade Investigations," she introduced, flashing a Dragonblade insignia that she appeared to have drawn on the inside of a leather wallet to look like an 'official' badge. "This is Detective..." she looked over at Caius. "...uh, Caius."
Yuffie note to self: learn Caius's last name.
"Don't worry boys, we'll take the investigation from here," she said, speaking with a grizzled, imaginary, fake accent to make her sound like a tough old detective. The guards looked startled for a moment, exchanging glances, before looking back at Yuffie. "You can't just waltz in here! Who do you think you are!? Stand down!" one ordered, preparing to go for his sword. "I told you, we're Dragonblades. You know, those guys who save the world while you're polishing your armour?" she reminded the guard, taking the lollipop out of her mouth for a moment to point at him with it, before realising wide-eyed this revealed that it was a lollipop and not a cigerrette, and quickly shoving it back in her mouth. "Besides, if you coulda figured this out by now, you would have. So why don't you leave it to the professionals?" she growled, still trying her imitation fake detective accent. The guard just sighed. "I am NOT paid enough for this," he grumbled as Yuffie made her way to peer at the carriage.
Yuffie began to walk around the carriage, investigating it with the jaded eyes of a detective who had seen too many murder scenes. Which, look, was REALLY hard for Yuffie, okay? Her usual approach was explosive energy, so not just running around and peering at everything was really difficult and she wanted somebody to appreciate her commitment to the role here. "Just as I thought," she said with a grim nod. "Don't worry, gentlemen, for the great Detective Yuffie Kisaragi.... has already solved this case!" she pointed to the air with excitement as she pronounced this, apparently forgetting her accent and reverting to her usual over-excited voice.
"The reason nobody's been able to find the missing person from this carriage iiiiiiis...." she paused dramatically again. "......because nobody was in the carriage at all! Think about it! Fancy carriages go TWO ways! When they drop someone off, they gotta go back home, OR they gotta go to pick someone up! So, OBVIOUSLY, this carriage was attacked for its fancy stuff, 'cause, look, it's all fancy! But nobody was inside! That's why they killed the driver but nobody else! Because there was nobody else to kill! HA! CASE SOLVED!" she beamed, hands on her hips, with said hips cocked to the side and a big grin on her face, having completely forgotten the apparent personae she was putting on.
The guard sighed painfully, and gave Caius a long-suffering look of 'how do you put up with this'. "Uh, what about the signs of a struggle, and the broken pearls?" the guard asked.
Yuffie just stared back, and then her grin disappeared. "The what-in-the-who-now?" she blinked black, cluelessly.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
It was another reasonably dull day in Torensten for Yuffie. She was patrolling, looking for trouble, as was required of her as one of the elite Dragonblades that defended the city! By which she meant nobody had thrown her out yet and she figured as a Dragonblade she had the right to fight evil, so she might as well look for some.
Except there wasn't much evil in Torensten today. Which was really dull. "So BOOOOOOOOOOORED!" Yuffie whined out loud as she flopped down by the fountain. There was some street bum washing herself in the fountain, but that wasn't unusual. She craned her neck back and peered up at the sky, before looking over again at the bum. There was something familiar about her. Not so much her face, which was hidden beneath that ragged hair, but that dress style. She recognised that armour. She remembered thinking it was weird. Who wore a metal chest plate like that? It wouldn't stop a bullet, and it'd just slow you down in combat. It was like somebody cosplaying as a warrior.
And then it occurred to her that wouldn't be weird in Torensten, where people were so much more primitive. No. It was weird... in Midgar. That's why it stood out to her! She'd seen that outfit in Midgar! Way back, before she'd met Cloud. Before stealing the materia and before fighting Nero and Sephiroth and Jenova and all the weird things had happened. "Wait a sec!" she said, suddenly spinning around to look at the grubby girl. "I know you! You're... Jenny! No, um, Jossie! Something like that! From Midgar! I kicked your butt at Fort Condor!" she said with a sudden smile. "I thought you got squished when the plate fell!" Cloud and Tifa had mentioned the other members of Avalanche, although only now was Yuffie making the connection that this girl was probably the Jossie they talked about (yes, it had been Jessie, but Yuffie was bad with names).
"Hey, don't suppose you brought your Fort Condor stuff? It is BOOOOOR-ING today," Yuffie asked, ignoring of course any shock that the girl might have about where she actually was. Yuffie just assumed she'd been there a while. She had to be to end up that dirty, right? That was those Midgardians for you. Take away their fancy electricity and running water and they had no idea what to do. Not like the badasses from Wutai, like herself, who knew how to survive in the wild!
