Equestria's Final Heaven

A Teenage boy walked through the deep forests of Gaia, the wind blew a gentle breeze, making the spiky brown hair on his head wave in the wind "hm, winds picking up, must be a storm coming…"

(Yeah, that’s me, Denzal Strife , and my god do I miss that forest, but I’m getting ahead of myself, currently, I’m on my way through the forest to the gang's hideout, and no, it’s not Seventh Heaven, heck no, you see, we offspring of the Famous Avalanche Crew have our own little hideout in the forest, miles from any civilization, where we can be ourselves. Don’t look at me like that, and dash those dirty thoughts of yours, we don’t do that kind of thing, especially the weirdos and young men who, apparently, can’t wait to be Fathers. Now, on to what I was saying, you see, I’m part of a little group me and the others came up with, we call it “Group Firestorm” yeah yeah, a bit extreme sounding, but it’s a hell of a lot better than what Mr. Wallas thought of, “Avalanche Jr. or The Sluffs” my god…..that’s too corny, we’re trying to think of a better one. Anyway, looks like I’m about to reach the treehouse now…)

“Ah he reached a large oak tree with a crashed Shinra Gelnika plane, he knocks on the tree”“Denzel-” Let’s see, 1 knock, 2 knocks, 6 knocks, 4 knocks, 3 knock, and 7 knocks.

“A voice yells from the plane” COM’ON UP DENZEL, COFFEE’S FRESH. “A rope ladder falls from a hatch up in the plane”

“As he starts up the ladder, he yells up to the ship” BE RIGHT UP! “Moments later he reaches the top and climbs in”

“The hatch opens into the main cargo area, there's several couches, a cold storage box full of junk food, a large computer terminal hooked up to a small jukebox, and a small foldout table with two boys sitting at it playing cards, one wearing a black ten gallon hat and brown vest, the other with a full suit of Tie dye and a batch of hair that would give someone colorblind nightmares.”

“He smiled” Hi guys, Ben, am I late for the game?“The boy with the Hat looked up” Naw, get yerself some coffee ,then com’on over and we’ll deal ya in." After grabing a cup, he pulls up a seat” cool, I enjoy poker.

(as you can see, these two are older than me by a few years, but I didn’t mind, first there´s Ben Highwind, the one with the hat, he’s the cook and mostly our mechanic, he’s constantly having to remind his father that he doesn’t want to be a pilot, and when he’s not cooking something or fixing something for us, he’s tending to his pride and joy: a single Banora Apple tree. May seem like a waste of time, but when he brings those fresh apples to the table, they make a great treat to lighten the mood on a gloomy day)

“A few minutes pass and another boy wearing a black leather jumpsuit silver armor combo, and a large red scarf dropped through a hatch in the ceiling”

“The three don’t look up from their cards, but respond in unison”  Hi Jak.

“He didn't say a word, but sat down and they deal him in”

(Don´t get me started on Jak Valentine, dudes a mysterious case, he's mean as hell.

“The Chips and Gil stack higher and higher, cards are being laid down and picked up..”

*Martin-* Call!

“The others go silent and look at Martin” I said call.

*Jak-* 2 kings, a Jack of clubs, 9 of Hearts, and a Ace.

*Denzal-* I’ve...got…..a full house.

*Ben-* Ha! Ah’ve got a 2 of spades and 4 Aces!

*Martin-* I win, 5 Aces!

*Ben-* WHAT!?! YOU 4 EYED PILE OF SHIT, YA AIN'T GOT NO 5 ACES!!*Martin-* Begging your pardon my friend, but a pile of shit has 1000 eyes.

“Denzel laughed”

*Jak-* Piss off you multi colored cunt.

“a voice rings from the cockpit”  WILL YOU GUYS KEEP IT DOWN, I’M TRYING TO SLEEP!!

“It almost instantly got quiet” Sorry Ashru…

(Ah, that beautiful tough as nails Girl is Ashru Varsha, she’s a Shinra Soldier that was expelled from the academy, not because she was a lousy fighter, no, she’s a brilliant mystic knight, but because she was blind. Bunch of jerks, ever heard of the superhero Daredevil? Well, she’s pretty damn close.)

“There’s a knock from outside’

*Ben-* THAT’S NOT THE SECRET KNOCK.

Aw, c'mon guys, let me up!

“They all look at one another” Marlene.

Moments later, a brown haired girl climbs through the hatch She smiles at Denzel "Hi Denzie." Denzel groans "ugh, hi Marlene."

(That’s Marlene, my little sis, yeah, your correct,  Barret’s adopted daughter. Tifa taught her all about hand to hand combat, including Karate, Kung-fu, Kenpo, Judo and Boxing. Holy Shit right?)

“She goes over and takes a coke out of the ice box” Hey guys, where’s Kody?

“Jak didn't look up from his cards’’ The ninja prick here?

“Ben doesn’t look up from his cards, he just points at the ceiling”

“Jak nods’’ He should be.

Martin nodded his head "yeah, ever since those stupid remnants showed us up that one time, he’s been wanting to step up his game.

(He’s not here right now, but Kody Kisaragi is a boy about my age, has jet black hair, and a red sweatband, and recently a large scar over his left eye. Thank god he didn’t get much attitude from his mother Yuffie)

Ben turned his attention to Jak "Hey Jak, hows that baby dragon of yours doin?" Jak looked up "What's it to you?" Martin popped in " what's it to you? " He says, HELLO She lights up my hair like a bonfire!"

*Denzel-* Aw Marty  com’on, I thought you were the funny one..

*Martin-* Do you know how difficult it is to manage hair like this? And to keep the colors bright and sparkly? And how Hard it is to repair after it’s been set on fire by that little nuisance!?!?!" Denzel thought for a moment then answered "…..No." Martin nodded smartly "Well, you have no idea."

*Jak-* "Hey asshole, she’s only a baby."

*Martin-* Sorry,I know...I know…
