The Untold story of Cloud Strife

by Zak A.

Once there was a great battle that was never herd of. a battle out in a desert, yet there was a family that lived in this desert by a small oasis. When the battle happened the family died. All except the little boy.

One day an old lady came and took the boy. she took him to a little house. The boy grew up there quite a bit. The old lady called him Cloud since they always watched them and made out different shapes.

"WHOOSH!!" the sandstorms where coming. The old lady was calling Cloud in but he couldnąt see her or anything else around him. Then there was something pulling him. Suddenly he was pulled in the back of a big cart being pulled by horses. There where other men in there to. Cloud was probably the youngest though.

After they had been riding for about an hour the one man started to talk. Cloud didnąt speak that language. Finally all the men got up. One of them pulled out a knife. They all where coming towards him. Then Suddenly the man with the knife shot it straight at his head when, "SMACK!!" it went right into the side of the cart. Then he cut a huge hole.

1 by 1 they started to jump out. Finally the one man circled for Cloud to jump out. Since Cloud didnąt want to have the fear of having another knife about to come through his head he just jumped.

Once out they where at some slave place. It seemed as though a fat man was buying them. Cloud had never seen the outside world from the desert. He probably hasnąt even seen the color green.

Then suddenly the fat man turned and saw Cloud. He walked over to him and asked the owner of the slaves, "How much for this fine young one." The owner said quite suspiciously, "That's not one of" Then the fat man interrupted, "how about 50 chicken nuggets." So the owner said without waiting, "Sold!!".

And yet again Cloud was in the back of a cart. Only this time with extremely muscular men. "Clunk!!" The cart stopped and opened. A man was at the door of it. He had armor on and he held a sword in his hand. the big men walked out of the cart. Cloud followed. All the men where lined up like in the army. Cloud just followed. the man started to talk, "You all have been sent here to train and become gladiators."

They did train every day for a long time until a Fat man with two ladies by his side came. it looked like they where being sold again. But this time it was different. Cloud didnąt know why but this was no ordinary sale.

A couple days later they went to a huge arena and people that where picked started to fight each other. Cloud and his friend Barret were talking about what had happed and what was hapening.they both knew one person was going to be left in the arena that meant that one would die.

"Ding ding ding" cloud had just beaten another gladiator. That meant that it was time to fight Barret. They both wished each other good luck. They fought for about 50 minutes. when finally Cloud collapsed and Barret held his sword to clouds neck. everyone started to chant "kill him kill him!!" but instead of killing him he took the sword away and ran up to the gates and slashed them open. Then he yeld, "Come we are no slaves!" so everyone ran through the gates and got away on hourses.

Once they got away they traveld all over and some went back to there homelands. Cloud and barret traveld searching new kingdoms.

One day Cloud and Barret saw something strange in the Desert. They saw a new kingdom that they had never seen.

They went to the gates. The guards wouldn't let them in because they where having a cerimonie. a big celebration. Cloud saw something completly bogus. He saw the same old lady that took care of him in the main palace she had a husband too. she saw him and ran up to him and hugged him.

Ever since then he was conciderd a prince and Barret was also a royal man in the kingdom.
