"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
"Exactly!" Yuffie responded cheerfully. "If I can fight a way bigger, way scalier dragon, I can definitely ride a smaller one. Don't worry, I got this!" she exclaimed, full of her usual confidence. She paused to see how Caius did it, took a moment to take a run up to compensate for her lack of height, ran, did a small jump, grabbed Caius's hand, half missed the saddle, nearly fell off, but this time managed to cling to him. "WhoawhoawhoaWHOA!" she shrieked, before finally wrapping both of her arms around his waist to stop her falling. And then she let out a small laugh and let him go. "See, easy as pie?" she grinned unconvincingly.
"Soooo, you have like, an alternate dimension you can stash loot in? That's SO cool. Do I get one of those? Now I'm a Dragonblade an' all?" Yuffie asked, keeping up her usual perkiness and good cheer. There was a lot she could do with an invisible storage portal. It'd make stealing a BREEZE! And imagine all of the materia she could store in there for any given emergency. And of course, add any materia that she found to it too...
"Okay, I made it, I'm ready. Let's gooooooooooo!" Yuffie announced, pointing dramatically at the sky, and then remembering what she was doing and grabbing back onto Caius for support. "But, um, maybe slowly at first, yeah?" she said with a slightly less enthused laugh.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
"Eh, how hard can it be? I've ridden a golden chocobo, and those things are WILD," Yuffie replied casually as Caius seemed to try and imply that she was still going to struggle with a dragon, despite the fact she had just explained how she was awesome and therefore would be fine. "And I've summoned dragons. And fought dragons. And fought dragons by summoning dragons. I'm pretty much a dragon pro," she added confidently. Which wasn't untrue, even if Cloud did most of the dragon summoning because, as she recalled, 'nobody was going to trust her with Neo Bahamut'. "Nah, he likes me best," she said dismissively when Caius claimed that Vordun liked everybody. "Yes you do, yes you do, don't you, you big bad flying death machine you," she continued to baby talk him as she scratched him under his chin.
She jumped back a little when he summoned a saddle seemingly from nowhere. "Whooooa. How'd you do THAT?" she asked, approaching the saddle and prodding it with one finger curiously. "I get you can teleport and stuff, but you can just make STUFF appear outta nowhere? Could you make gil appear? Ohhh, or materia?" she asked enthusiastically. The ability to make anything appear was clearly pretty awesome magic, and as such, she immediately wanted to learn it. Of course, the fact that it'd nearly get rid of the need for materia entirely hadn't crossed her mind, since her first thought was simply using it to make more materia...
"Uh, I'm a deadly super skilled ninja who helped save the world, of COURSE I can get on a dragon myself," she said with her usual brazen confidence. "Watch THIS!" And then, she took a run up, leaping into the air and flipping around to land on the saddle with the perfect ninja twist.
It looked impressive. It would have looked more impressive if when she landed on the saddle she'd found the reigns in time, instead of carrying straight on and sliding straight off the other side with a cry of; "WuhwhoawhoaWHOA!" before a crash as she fell clean off the other side of Vordun, who seemed to turn his head to look at where she had landed on the floor with what she assumed passed for dragon-amusement.
"Don't laugh at me, you... mean... dragon..." she groaned from the floor, sitting up and rubbing her head. She quickly got back to her feet, brushing herself off. "Uh, that was, um, a practice run. But why don't you get on first, so, uh, just, y'know, I can fully focus on my getting-on." By which she meant she wanted to copy how Caius did it, of course.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
"I get airsick on airships. Not dragons," Yuffie countered to Caius's otherwise very good point. "Airships are lame. Dragons are awesome. I'm also awesome. SO, mathematically, I should be fine on a dragon," she said cheerfully. She didn't QUITE believe it, but Caius was sending the chocobos away now, and it was too late to back down. She'd just have to grin and bear it. And well, if she threw up, she'd just aim off the side of the dragon. Maybe she'd hit Sephiroth. He had to be around somewhere.
She just wore her usual grin as he took her sketch and seemed to try and keep a straight face. Of course, Yuffie, for all her goofiness, was sixteen and aware her sketch did not actually constitute a battle plan. But it was funny, and seeing Caius try and take it seriously was even funnier. Plus he agreed to add it to their research notes which made her grin more, because she just imagined some boring Dragonblade librarian looking through the notes and finding her picture. So, okay, Caius hadn't laughed out loud, but she was pretty pleased with the outcome regardless.
Yuffie approached the dragon as she was told, still grinning, although a closer examination would reveal that she was slightly tense. She was ready to spring away at any moment, and that was her obvious nerves. Or her awesome ninja reflexes, if anybody called her out on it. She reached out a hand, to scratch the dragon under the chin. "Yes, who's a good flying death machine? Is it you? Yes, it's you. What a good flying death machine, yes you are..." she baby talked to him as she touched under his chin lightly. "Are you gonna let Yuffie ride you? Yes you are, yes you are, aren't you, 'cause you're such a good boy. Yes, you're a good boy who's also a big flying death machine, yes you are..." she continued, talking to him.
She turned, grinning to Caius. "See, even dragons love me!" she said proudly.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie arrived after the hour as eager as she had been an hour ago. She'd spent most of the time thinking about how she could totally kick this apparent Kuja's butt. After all, she beat Sephiroth! Well, she'd HELPED beat Sephiroth. Sephiroth had been beaten, and she was there. And then she'd been thinking about this Kuja guy. He was no doubt pretty evil if he'd blown up a planet. Worse than Sephiroth even! He probably had horns! And spikes!
Yeah! So as long as Yuffie kept an eye out for a horny guy with spikes she'd be fine!
......But not like Cloud. Cloud had spikes. And she didn't know for sure but she was PRETTY sure he got horny with Tifa sometimes.
Yuffie Note to Self: Find out if 'horny' means what you think it means.
After that she got bored. She doodled for a bit. Went to buy some candy. Ugh, patience. Caius sounded just like her old man! Patience wasn't FUN. Nobody ever got to be a good ninja by patience! Well, except when doing ambushes. And sneaking. And hiding. And all those vital ninja things. But those things were BORING! Ugh!
But finally, the hour was up and she met Caius by the town exit, where he'd secured the two chocobos. And... a dragon!?
"WHOOOOOOOOA! You have a DRAGON!?" Yuffie beamed, running over to the giant beast. Well, giant by her standards. "What are we doin' riding chocobos like some losers when you have a DRAGON!? C'mon, let's saddle him up and fly into the air, and then we can reign fire down on those thieves like total badass dragon riders!" she cheered, obviously filled with enthusiasm for the new idea. Yes, there was the slight problem of the motion sickness, but she didn't get too bad riding on a chocobo, so maybe she'd be okay riding a dragon?
Only one way to find out, right!?
"By the way, I spent the hour drawing up a fool proof plan to beat that Kuja guy, since I have the most experience fighting planet busters," she said proudly, before presenting a crumpled up piece of paper to Caius. "Whatcha think?" she grinned, holding out a... questionable... diagram for him to review.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
"Planet Buster?" Yuffie repeated, as Caius casually dropped Sephiroth wasn't the only apocalyptic murderer on his watch list. "That sounds pretty cool! Yuffie Kisaragi, defeater of the Planet Busters!" she announced proudly, throwing a few quick punches as if imagining a title card appearing over her head. Of course, no such thing appeared, but, hey, the thought was there. "Wait, you mean, there are MORE bad guys out there who might blow up the planet? Why aren't we out there gettin' 'em! We're the good guys, right? We should be out savin' the world, not just hunting bandits! C'mon! I bet we can take 'em!" Yuffie said enthusiastically, throwing a few more ninja punches and a kick as if to demonstrate. She turned back to Caius, grinning, arms pulled in tight in enthusiastic readiness. "Uh... just, two questions. Where are they and who are they?" she decided to ask, before her epic glorious victory could occur.
"Also, don't mention his Mom, he hates that," Yuffie chimed in with helpful notes to the secretary (or whoever she was meant to be) that Caius was giving notes to on Sephiroth. She turned back to Caius. "She's a weird space alien goop monster, super gross, and he gets really weird if you bring it up," she added conversationally, feeling that this was important information.
"Sure, matter-for, that's what I said," Yuffie replied cheerfully as he tried to correct her pronunciation. She didn't hear any difference though. She was pretty sure she'd gotten it right. It wasn't like she made MISTAKES, right?
"Ugh, flying's the wooooooooooorse," she replied when he said they might have to fly. "Seriously, don't laugh! I get super motion sick! It's not funny!" she protested. "I knew I shouldn't have had that chocolate milkshake before coming here," she groaned, already able to feel her stomach lurching at even the thought. "I'm sure I can find chocobos! Chocobos love me!" she said cheerfully, switching tracks (she meant changing tacks, but, uh, even in her head, she sometimes got words wrong).
"An hour? But I'm ready noooow!" she whined. "Ninjas travel light, don'tcha know? I got everything I need, right here!" she exclaimed, giving a little twirl, as if to show off her equipment, before slightly losing her balance and stumbling. She managed to catch herself out of the twirl, and came back to her feet with a slightly sheepish laugh. "See?"

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie trailed along behind Caius as he walked in to speak to his minion. Or secretary. Or whatever she was. But she definitely noticed that he seemed to move straight on to the topics of chocobos, and didn't respond to her telling of Cloud's story, nor her emotions over Aerith.
"Hey, didn't you hear me? I just told you Sephiroth was the baddest of the bad. That he tried to blow up a planet and murdered, like, a qazillion people. And that he's loose somewhere on Zephron? 'cause I totally ran into him too. Obviously, we didn't have a big showdown, I think he was scared of me, but he was acting all weird. Pretending he didn't remember stuff or something. I dunno, maybe he fell out of a tree and hit his head. I know, one time, when I was settin' up an ambush, I fell out of a tree and totally hit my head and forgot what I was doin' there. I mean, I only assume I was setting up an ambush, 'cause, what else would a super awesome ninja like me have been doing up a tree?" she asked, as she followed along behind him.
"Anyway, the point is, you gotta warn people, and be ready. 'cause if Sephiroth remembers what he was doing up that tree, then the entire world might end up gettin' blown up. And lots of people are gonna die," she said. And then she paused. "The tree he's up was a matter-for, by the way," she added helpfully. She meant 'metaphor', of course.
She sat back, peering around the room curiously, while Caius spoke about getting them a job. She stopped to laugh when he explained what happened to his beard.
"See! I'm so awesome, I totally ninja'd your beard off!" she teased gleefully, before returning to poking around, like a curious kid wanting to see what was inside every plant pot and on every weapon's rack. After all, that was where the materia might have been!
She perked up when she heard the assignment.
"Ohh, beating up bandits? I'm on it! I've been beatin' up bandits since I was a little kid. Easy! None can escape the wrath of the ninja!" she cried excitedly, like it was her birthday. No more yackin' about borin' stuff. Time to go out there and kick some serious butt!

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie folded her arms and looked at Caius for a moment as he tried to justify his 'for her age' comment. "See, that's what y'call a 'cultural bias'. I'm from Wutai. In our nation, it's normal to train as a ninja from when you're a kid. Especially if you're the daughter of the guy in charge, like me! What you're sayin' is 'normal' for kids you mean is normal for kids where YOU came from. Where I came from, learning to kick butt at a young age is totally normal. There's loads of young ninjas. So why don't ya think about that, huh?" she said pointedly, proud of herself for making a point most would, likely not, expect Yuffie to make. But hey, she'd learned a lot about how people treat people from Wutai, and learned to defend herself! Just because Shinra stooges or foreigners thought it was 'normal' not to be a ninja didn't mean it WAS. They wouldn't know normal if it bit them on the butt!
Yuffie had expected him to bite back at her criticisms, but instead he said he'd just take them on board, which meant that her preparation to argue more went nowhere, and she paused, a little confused, and then decided, yeah, of course he was taking them on board. It was because she was such a pro! He knew that he had to listen to her! It made perfect sense. "Yep, of course you should. Not every day you get free advice from a world saving champion like me," she pointed out proudly.
She paused though when he mentioned Cloud. So Cloud had fought Sephiroth too? Had that been before or after she ran into him? If it was after, it meant that Sephiroth DID know what was going on, and all his pretending to be clueless had been lies. She'd KNOWN it! The liar! Ugh, she should have known she couldn't trust the evil guy who tried to blow up the world. That was like, Heroing 101! Duh! "Okay, but, like, uh, it sounds like you're taking that out of complex," she said. She meant 'context', of course, but Yuffie only had a lose relationship with words a lot of the time. "See, Sephiroth is like, MAJOR bad news. Like, the WORSE news. As in, wants to blow the planet bad news. And he very nearly did it! But to Cloud especially, he's just... the WORSE. Like, he murdered Cloud's parents, burned his hometown to the ground, slashed open his childhood crush, murdered her father, impaled him, forced him to endure five years of mind bending torture that broke his brain, came back, murdered a bunch more people, killed... killed his ... well, I think he loved her. But he killed Aerith! Right in front of all of us! She was our friend. She was... my friend..." Yuffie paused. And then she got back on track. "...And then he took control of Cloud, took away all of his free will, and made him hand over a world destroying materia to him. THEN he used that materia and summoned a ginormous meteor to blow up the entire PLANET and it's only 'cause we were so super kick ass that we JUST managed to stop him and save the world. So yeah, you can't blame the guy for trying to take Sephiroth out before he wrecks this place like he wrecked our world," Yuffie said defensively.
"Chocobos are okay. I can ride chocobos, as long as we're not in a cart," Yuffie answered. "Chocobos are usually super cute," she added.
"Provo? Spikey? You mean, we're gonna look for Cloud! YES! Awesome!" Yuffie cheered. "Um, just because, y'know, I need to meet up with my squad. And check in on him. As the leader and everything. That's all. No other reason," she added quickly.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
"Whatcha mean, 'despite my age'!?" Yuffie fumed at what he said, hands on her hips as she gave him a full blown pout. "I'm nearly eighteen!" she remarked, and then she paused. "Well, I'm nearly seventeen, which is the same as nearly being eighteen! You grown ups are all the same! Always thinking us kids can't handle ourselves, but we totally can! I kicked your butt! And I helped save the world! Trust me, I got PLENTY of experience," she ranted.
And then she paused, and listened to his feedback. She nodded a few times. "Uh huh, uh huh. Well, I got some feedback for you too. 'cause, you realise, I'm the Champion of the Pagoda right? Wutai's Greatest Warrior? Don't think jus' 'cause I'm young I don't know what I'm doing. I'm a ninja expert. And you, buster, rely WAY too much on your tricks. I mean, that teleportin'? Flashy to start with, but once your opponent starts to predict it, you're gonna find that they can get the drop on you before you do. An' that stupid gun blade thing of yours? That's the dumbest idea for a weapon I've ever seen, and I know a robot cat who fights with a megaphone! I mean, a sword is for bashing, and a gun has all delicate innard-y bits. So all you end up with is a weaker sword, 'cause it's all hollow, AND a gun that's gonna break and jam all the time 'cause you're bashing it. STOO-PID," she replied, before folding her arms and looking smug because she felt she had given him enough feedback as he'd given her.
"Hey, I know how to show off, but we weren't fightin' for real. Flashy moves are great, they intimidate people, and they look AWESOME, but when things get super tough, it ALSO means people aren't ready fer you to get real. Plus, they keep people focused on what you look like, instead of what you're doing. Distraction and misdirection are the way of the ninja," she winked.
"Really? Did you not listen to the whole 'saved the world' thing? And united my people to fight back against Shinra! Kinda. Point is, I've done TONS of adventuring, all over my world. I even went on an airship, and lemme tell you, that was NOT fun, 'cause I hate airships," she explained. "But fine! C'mon! I've been dying for an adventure! Let's get out there and I'll show you how much people really love me!" @caius
"I'm not telegraphing. I'm making 'em look AWESOME," Yuffie replied with her usual cheer, even as the two bolt attacks slammed into each other in a huge electrical explosion. She wasn't quite sure how he'd cast so quickly with his weapon still in hand, but it didn't matter. In the flash, she could see that he had teleported once more. But right about now, she was getting used to that.
She leapt into the air in a butterfly flip, spinning around. It looked, for all everybody knew of Yuffie, like a pointless, flashy, showy move she did just to show off. And, well, yeah, okay, she had learned to do it because it looked SUPER cool, but it DID also serve a purpose. In one quick movement, she flipped around so that she could survey the entire battlefield, and spot where an opponent may have moved to. Yes, okay, she could achieve the same effect by using the other, well, known, combat technique of 'turning your head a bit', but it was nowhere near as COOL, and this was faster!
As he hopped down, blade ready, she span to face him, a fireball lighting up in her hand. She stood frozen, pointing it at him, as he pointed his gun at her. 'Bang' he said. "Fwoosh," she replied, her hand glowing with the fiery ball.
"Darned straight! I kicked butt!" she replied when he commented she had showcased her abilities, the fireball disappearing as she let her materia deactivate without casting. "So, when'd I start?" she asked with a grin. "Do I get one of those cool dragon logos to go on my outfit? They're super awesome!" she added brightly. @caius

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie paused, for a moment reaching up to grasp imaginary lapels as if she was some kind of professor of ninjaology considering the evidence that Terra had just put forth that ninjas existed in her world too. "Hmm, well, I dunno 'bout magic scrolls, but we definitely use shuriken. And 'Shadow' IS a very ninja-y name. He MIGHT be a ninja! Maybe he uses scrolls instead of materia. LOADS of worlds don't seem to have any materia, which must totally suck," Yuffie said as she thought about it, offering her expert opinion and approval of this 'Shadow' person. It WAS a cool name. Maybe she should work 'Shadow' into her whole intro spiel? 'Wutai's Shadow'? Ohhh, that sounded SO cool! "Ugh, real ninjas don't ACOST people. I mean, sure, sometimes we ambush 'em. And then rob 'em. And then run off again. Or kick their butts! But it's not accosting! Accosting is totally different!" Yuffie argued, despite the fact she had no idea what 'accosting' meant. "Besides, we were kinda sorta at war. I mean, not OFFICIALLY, Wutai had surrendered, but, the real heroes like ME, we weren't having any of that," Yuffie went on to explain cheerfully.
"Oh my god, I know, right!?" Yuffie agreed as she came over and jumped to sit on the floor next to Terra as she spoke about pigeons ."They're the worse! And they're always after me!" she complained. Always ruining her plans too! "Oh, the Dragon Blades are like, mercenaries or whatever for hire, ready to fight evil! As for who's leading them, well, obviously, that's ME!" she beamed. And then she paused. "Uh, I mean, not officially. Officially, it's some guy called Caius, but, uh, I'm basically in charge. They all know I'm the most experienced, so obviously, they defer to me over, y'know, all the things, and stuff," she 'explained' cheerfully. "I guess you could come along, but there's a totally tough try out! You gotta prove to them what a badass you are!" Yuffie added with a grin, throwing a few mock punches where she sat. "Of course, I passed with flying colours. OBVIOUSLY."
