The song that Wedge sings is the one that was used as the opening song of the television series: Highlander.
LYDIA DEETZ AND FINAL FANTASY 7
Capítulo 10: Wedge versus the giant
The group entered the complex and were talking about which way to go and there was so much ground to cover, but Barrett was still struggling after passing through Corel.
“Barrett, let's go play in the games, let's have fun," said Aerith and everyone looked at her incredulously.
“Hey Aerith, what do you think you're doing?” whispered Tifa as she pushed her away from the giant.
“He's just so depressed," said Aerith.
“And that's how you want to cheer him up!” Tifa said incredulously.
“Of course, the best thing for these cases is to act as if nothing had happened," said Aerith, sure of herself.
“Are you sure this is how it works?” Tifa doubted.
“Of course, trust me," Aerith said resolutely and again went to Barrett's and suggested that he go have fun.
As expected, the giant became furious and cursed himself out of the place.
“Wow, the best thing to do is to leave Barrett alone," Wedge sighed, "the rest of you go in pairs and look around the place.”
“I'll go with Cloud," Tifa said hastily, so that Percy wouldn't go ahead and decide who the blond would go with as he did last time.
"Don't even think you won the game," Percy thought, looking at the woman maliciously.
“I think you, Aerith and Jesse have spent a lot of time with Cloud already," Percy said arrogantly. “I think you should give Yuffie a little chance since she's the newest member of the group.”
“What! I don't like the blond guy," Yuffie tried to say, but Percy pushed her hard with his tail towards Cloud.
Yuffie had to hug Cloud in order not to fall, who also hugged the ninja so that she wouldn't fall to the ground.
“See, if they look good, both of them hugging each other, as if they were lovers running away from the law because of the age difference” smiled Percy maliciously and Tifa frowned and was about to answer him but the cat boy interrupted him.
"Ch, ch, ch, no matter how attractive you are, Tifa, you won't be able to compete against Yuffie's youth. Never!”
“What did you say!”
“Wow, it seems that the breasty lady can no longer hear well, well that happens with age... It is, the cycle of life: you are born, you grow, you age...”
Percy pretended to be scared and took Lydia's hand and ran to one of the entrance slides.
“Oh no! Don't even think about running away from this Percy!” Tifa shouted and ran after the cat boy.
“I'd better go after those two fools, I just hope Lydia will control the situation until I gets there," said Wedge sighing and went after Tifa.
Jesse and Biggs looked at each other frowning.
“What are you looking at?” Biggs asked.
“Me? Not too much," said Jesse, looking down on Biggs from top to bottom.
“Would Miss Aerith allow me to escort you through this architectural wonder?” Nanaki asked him.
“Of course, sir," Aerith agreed, seeing that Cloud didn't seem interested in going with anyone.
“Well," said Cloud when Jesse and Biggs, who were the last people on the scene, paired up and went out on one of the slides, "I think we were just left...”
“Don't you dare do anything perverted to me or I'll have you locked up in jail," Yuffie said as she punched Cloud in the crotch with a brutal punch that made him throw up hard.
“Oh please! How delicate! Come on, let's go!” Yuffie ordered him, and grabbing Cloud by the nose, she threw him down one of the slides and then the ninja followed him.
.

In another part of the park, Lydia and Wedge were able to calm the situation and prevent things from getting any bigger.
“Where are we going now?” Tifa asked, who was still upset.
“I don't know, with all this mess I couldn't share the land with the others," Wedge said.
“Let's go to the cable car, from there we can see all of Gold Saucer," Percy suggested.
“Well, me and Lydia will go in one booth and you in another," said Tifa who already knew where the thing was going with Percy's suggestion.
Lydia looked at Tifa in fear, apparently she hadn't fully recovered yet.
“Well," Tifsa sighed, "you go in one booth, Wedge and I will go in another.”
Wedge and Tifa entered their cabin and the tour began.
Tifa was nervous about being alone with Wedge, and started playing with her fingers.
"What's wrong with me? When I'm with Wedge I get nervous, but when I'm with Cloud I get the same thing, hell, my head's all messed up!", Tifa thought, shaking her head without realizing it.
“Tifa, is something wrong with you?”
What?....? No! Nothing's wrong with me," Tifa startled as she moved her hands in front of her.
“Were you thinking about Cloud?” Wedge told her, but not in an angry way, but rather with a calm tone and a look wise and calm.
Tifa looked down on the floor in response.
"I wonder if I hurt Wedge?" thought Tifa and looked up. Wedge looked out the window with a small smile on his lips even though he had a sad look on his face.
“You know," Wedge started talking, "I don't think it was a good idea to leave those two alone in the cabin, we should have put a chaperone on them.”
“You're right, sometimes I'm surprised at the maturity of those two. Lydia didn't experience the same horror that Barrett or I experienced, but at least my parents weren't so cruel.”
“It's true, Tifa, after the incident they went to my old apartment in Midgar and spent some time with me. Lydia was devastated, but fortunately she was counting on Percy.”
“How did you react when you saw that Percy was a cat boy?”
“You can imagine, Tifa, I fell on my back!... Yeah, I hope those two aren't doing anything weird back there.”
“Don't worry," said a relaxed Tifa, "I'd be more worried if they were on a huge Ferris wheel.”
“Did you ever ride a Ferris wheel before?”
“Never Wedge, never had the chance.”
“I don't believe it! As pretty as you are, I'm sure the boys were lined up behind you.”
“Well, I was kind of popular when I was a kid in my hometown... But after Sephiroth, I focused on learning martial arts. Did you know I won the bar on a combat bet?”
“What, really!”
“Of course! How do you think a girl would put neon signs with cowgirls in front of it and call the establishment "The Seventh Heaven"?”
“And why didn't you change the front and the name?”
“You know how bad the economic situation is to make changes to the facade. Besides, the bar already had its regular clientele and was afraid of losing it.”
“I see... Well, when this is all over, I promise to take you to the biggest Ferris wheel there is.”
“And you got on a Ferris wheel?” Tifa asked him to get out of the way.
“No, you may think I'm cheesy, but I've always wanted to go upstairs with someone special... But I never met that someone, at least not until I saw you... Seeing you for the first time, it was as if my brain was forcing my sight to turn off all peripheral vision to concentrate only on you...”
“Wedge, please don't... I... Cloud...”
“I know... I know...”
The cabin arrived at its destination and the two adults waited for the back cabin to arrive.
“What a frustration," Lydia complained, "we couldn't see anything, no sign of Sephiroth.”
“It was a waste of time," Percy also complained. “Damn Sephiroth, where have you gone!”
Tifa looked at the boys in surprise, those two were the mature ones.
The four of them returned to the square and Wedge was frustrated because he didn't know where to go.
“If you don't know where to go, sir, come here, and I'll tell you the luck that fate has prepared for you," a robot from the park suddenly told them, it looked like a cat with a crown wearing a megaphone, and it was on a kind of robot that looked like a very big cat-golem.
“Cait Sith, that's the name, yes sir, come and I'll show you your fortune," said the robot who approached the group in the cat-golem.
“How nice Lydia!” Percy exclaimed and happily jumped up to the robots.
“What a curious creature you are! Cait Sith said “Do you want me to tell you your luck in love?”
“I don't need any of that," said Percy, stretching his tail around Lydia's waist and drawing her to him.
“Lydia and I clarified our feelings a long time ago," Percy said as he looked at Tifa and Wedge with serious expression and wide eyes that were as big and beautiful as dark gems.
"We decided that we would not lie to ourselves and we agreed to be together forever, in a mature way and no matter what," Percy concluded without taking his eyes off the two adults.
“Why don't you tell my cousin and his lady their fortune? Lydia said radiantly as she hugged Percy.
“What a good idea, miss!” Cait Sith said and went over to the blushing adults who looked at each other.
“Just push the robot's leg down like a slot machine and your luck will come out," explained Cait.
Wedge looked sidelong at Tifa, and as she did not seem to object, he pulled the robot's leg and then a strip of paper came out.
“But there's nothing here," Wedge said and showed the robot a blank strip of paper.
“That can't be it, try again!” Cait insisted but the result was the same over and over again.
“Robot idiot!” Percy shouted at the same time he kicked him.
“Maybe it's broken,” said Lydia.
“That's impossible, I'm a state-of-the-art luck predictor, I can't be broken. I know! Maybe fate has not yet been decided with you two.... This is very mysterious, I will have to accompany you to find out what luck has in store for you.”
They all looked at Cait strangely and explained that they were on a mission, that they would soon be leaving the place, but the robot insisted on accompanying them.
“We can't reason with a machine, so we'll have to accept it as part of the group," Wedge yielded, and Cait was very happy.
.
.
Nanaki wasn't happy about having two other cats in the group, but in the end he accepted Wedge's reasoning as much as the others.
“Wedge, we heard nothing from Sephiroth, but we heard from a man with one arm replaced by a gun that is causing trouble in the Gold Saucer arena," Aerith and the entire group reported, exchanging concerned looks as the only missing member was Barrett.
“We'd better get Barrett before he gets into real trouble," Wedge said and everyone headed for the fighting arena.
When they arrived at the place they saw that everything was destroyed.
“These are the same kind of bullets that Barrett uses," Cloud showed them in a low tone.
“Your friend made all this mess?” Cait asked as several soldiers from the park entered and surrounded the others.
The soldiers ordered them to raise their hands and Wedge looked up and ordered the group to listen. Percy wanted to fight the men but Lydia reassured him and asked him to listen to Wedge.
“I heard a man with a one-armed arm causing trouble in my establishment," said a man approaching the site.
The guy had the most muscular build that any of the group had ever seen in their lives, tall, dressed in the clothes of a wrestler, monstrous veins furrowed the surface of each of their deformed muscles, especially the neck.
“We didn't do anything, as soon as we got there, if you don't believe us, check us out and you'll see that none of us have a gun with the caliber to have made these gun marks," Wedge said calmly and authoritatively.
“Shut up!” Witnesses indicate that you walked in with a man with a gun arm. “I Dio, the owner of Gold Saucer, and one fifth of this continent, sentence you to spend the rest of your days in the desert prison.”
“Wait a minute!” Percy shouted to Dio. “Must have been another man with a gun arm. How about the super agent cobra!”
“That's a cannon-arm and a fictional character. Get them!”
Dio's soldiers attacked the group but were defeated, however, Dio released each and every one of his monsters, fortunately, he did not send them all at the same time but sent them to fight one by one, so they were defeated easily.
What kind of tactics do these guys use? Well never mind, get them and take them to the desert prison! Dio ordered some kind of robots that went to the group.
Most of the group were intimidated by the robots coming closer and closer.
“What's wrong with all of you? Attack!” Lydia shouted in amazement at the attitude of her friends.
“We have defeated very powerful monsters before and now, can't you beat simple robots?” Percy said that just like Lydia, was surprised at the group's behavior.
“Wedge! What's the matter with you? You act like the character in a game whose actions are already predetermined. If you're not going to react for yourself, AT LEAST REACT FOR TIFA!” Lydia screamed furiously.
It was as if Wedge's eyes were opening, looking at his hand he clenched it into a fist and threw himself forward into combat.
Wedge's sword-gun drew bows that hit the robots at a frantic and deadly rate. The shields broke, the wires twisted sending sparks everywhere and the circuits exploded in a multitude of loud noises.
At the end, on a huge pile of robotic junk that kept throwing huge electric shocks, Wedge stood up with his jacket fluttering in the wind and his weapon held tightly in his right hand.
“Here we are, born to be kings, we are the princes of the universe...” He began to sing, at the same time as the electric shocks became much stronger.
“Is that Wedge!?” Biggs said with his mouth open and his eyes open like plates.
“I... I went too far with the training!” Percy shouted, waving her hands nervously.
“As in the legends of my people!” Yuffie waved. “Cat people can turn men into tigers!”
“I just... I just told him to think of you Tifa and he reacted... And he started attacking.” Lydia pointed out to Tifa.
“IS THE POWER OF WEDGE LOVE TOWARDS TIFA!” Percy shouted to the four winds to be heard by Tifa.
Dio took off his wrestling belt and tore his shirt with his hands as he roared.
“Bastard," Dio said to Wedge, with a look that would make any man run in the opposite direction.
“That's the best compliment anyone could give me," Wedge replied with a fierce smile.
Dio started running to Wedge, but he had already jumped on the wrestler. It was as if two unstoppable objects collided and then both rolled across the floor intertwined, exchanging blows with tense muscles.
The two contenders stood up and lashed out at each other. Blows came and went with the power to knock down an ox, but the two men stood, crushing each other's flesh and blowing each other's blood in all directions.
Dio grabbed Wedge by the hip with the goal of breaking his back. Everyone could see Dio's impossible back muscles tighten so tightly that they seemed to acquire the solidity of steel, while listening to Wedge's vertebrae creak loudly.
Wedge put his fingers together and extended them as if they were swimming, and then buried them tightly in Dio's armpits, freeing himself in this way. The wrestler looked at Wedge furiously, but he gave him a hard header that squirted a stream of blood over Wedge's face. Then there was another header against Dio, and another one, and another one, and then some others.
Dio punched Wedge's stomach hard, causing him to vomit blood and bend his knees. The wrestler put his fists together to finish off his opponent, but Wedge sent a punch directly into his crotch, followed by two more, making Dio the one to bend his back, a moment that was used by Wedge to plant a brutal knee to his mouth that made Dio spit out most of his teeth.
Dio almost fell backwards but held on to his opponent's clothing and gave him an elbow that would surely make Wedge's future sons feel it, however, Wedge grabbed the wrestler's collar and pulled him into his left ear and bit it off at the root.
The wrestler screamed wildly in pain and covered his ear and tried to see his opponent, but Wedge was already charging at him and holding him by the thighs, then had Dio sit with both legs around his shoulder and then, Wedge turned his body like an athlete throwing a hammer and threw his opponent through a wide glass that protected the electricity meters.
Many sparks went off and Dio's body began to convulse from the electric shocks.
“You didn't expect to face this beast, did you, Dio?” Wedge grunted, adrenaline-ridden.
“Wedge, you're the god of fighting!” Percy exclaimed impressed and ran to his friend, who looked pitiful.
They had to spend several healing potions on Wedge which was made of ground beef, but in the end they made it like new.
“I'm afraid we can't do anything about your clothes, Wedge" lamented Lydia, as all of Wedge's clothes were soaked with the blood of both sides.
“No way," Wedge resigned himself and took off all the clothes that covered his torso, revealing an athletic and muscular body that nothing would have to envy Cloud's, but quite the contrary, all thanks to Percy's training and his desire to please Tifa.
“Oh, Mom, this guy is so hot," Yuffie told Tifsa. “With the opportunities you had and didn't do anything, I'd have already fuc...”
Tifa looked at Yuffie in surprise at the ninja's lewd word.
"What the hell, how can she talk like that, she's still a child," she thought alarmed.
“I connected to the park's mainframe computer and apparently his friend Barrett went to the desert prison," Cait Sith told them.
“How will we get there?” Aerith asked.
“We can take Dio's helicopter and head to that place.“ Cait suggested.
“And who's going to fly the helicopter?” Cloud asked.
“I have a programming for piloting helicopters," said Cait Sith and everyone looked at each other nervously.
“What do we do Wedge?” Jesse asked.
“There is no alternative, let's take the helicopter," he ordered and everyone went to the helipad.
Cait was not lying because he was able to pilot the machine without any problem and in the end he arrived at the desert prison.
“Well, the good news is that we're here," Cait told them.
“And what would be the adverse news?” Nanaki asked.
“We're out of fuel, so get ready for an emergency landing," the robot released and everyone turned blue from the news.
The helicopter flew erratically but was eventually able to land, although the engine and propeller rotor broke down.
“Lydia, are you okay?” Percy asked her.
“Yes, I am, thank you Percy," Lydia calmed him down and, helped by the cat boy, got out of the helicopter and saw the surroundings of the desert prison.
“Now I see why they call it the desert prison," said Biggs and everyone saw that an endless desert of infernal sands stretched across the horizon, and they were in the middle.
