A/N: Cor and I were talking, and this sort of resulted. Crossover/Substitution for Final Fantasy 7 and Glee. Kurtbastian. I own S2 of Glee, and a copy of Final Fantasy 7. I don't actually own the copyrights however. If I did, I'd be rich as Nazis.

Bright Lights in the City

The city of Midgar was a brightly lit target for the Diamond Weapon, a monster sent forth by the Planet to protect said planet from the forces attacking it. Sephiroth, who had summoned a meteor that was going to destroy the Planet, was ensconced behind an energy barrier in the Northern Crater. So, the other threat to the Planet was apparently SmytheCorp.

Kurt Hummel had to hand it to Karofsky and Sylvester though. They were thoroughly loathsome individuals. They both had the same braying laugh, and Karofsky was half soused three quarters of the time, but he couldn't deny their talent. After all, it wasn't easy moving the Sister Ray cannon from Junon to Midgar.

Somehow, they managed, and somehow they managed to get it hooked up to the six remaining Mako reactors that were still powering the city, giving the Sister Ray a new source of ammunition.

Of course, that smug bastard Sebastian Smythe just had to be Mr. Johnny on the Spot. He just needed to be up in his office to switch the reactors on and fire the cannon. Of course, Kurt wasn't there with him. Instead, Smythe, (Kurt adamantly refused to think of him as Sebastian), had him overseeing the evacuation of the city.

So, instead of being up there, in the SmytheCorp tower that loomed over the Upper Plate, Kurt was down in Sector 4, doing a job that some blue uniformed soldier from the SmytheCorp army could have done. Kurt was not thinking about the reasons behind Sebastian, (Smythe), staying in his unprotected office high above the city.

The city of Midgar was not exactly designed to be evacuated. It sat above the earth, a complicated plate system keeping it suspended. What the city did have in abundance, naturally, were scores of maintenance tunnels. Tunnels to maintain the wiring that supplied Mako energy to the homes and businesses that Midgar had. Rail tunnels to facilitate travel between each of the lower sectors of Midgar, and the upper plate where SmytheCorp and the wealthier districts were housed.

If things went wrong in all the right ways, those maintenance tunnels would become a mausoleum for Midgar. Kurt Hummel was not going to think about that though. He had to, just like everyone else, put his faith in Karofsky, Sylvester, their engineering teams, and, yes, Sebastian Smythe.

Kurt spoke into his PHS device. "Chang, Puckerman, do you need any assistance in evacuating your Sectors?"

"Negative Hummel. Go up to the Upper Plate if your Sector is clear. Puckerman and I can oversee the evacuation of the rest of the city."

"Yeah, Kurt, go get him out of there. Who's gonna sign my paycheck?" Puckerman interjected.

"Over and out, Chang." Kurt closed his PHS device and signaled the lead vehicle in the convoy that they could begin the drive to (hopefully) safety.

Kurt ran over to his motorbike, and started it up, weaving his way through the convoy, heading in the opposite direction toward the Upper plate. He reached the zone between the upper and lower plates just as the reactors that Evans had designed came online, the glow illuminating Midgar in an ethereal light.

Kurt drove faster blessing the empty streets as the Mako current began flowing into the Sister Ray cannon that jutted out of the Midgar skyline like a vulgarity. The stabilizers on the cannon locked into place, and for a long moment, nothing. Then a swirling cloud materialized in front of the cannon, forming into a beam of pure energy taken straight from the Planet.

The scaffolding that had been put in place so that the engineering teams could get the cannon into place was shaken loose by the force of the blast. The blast also shattered the glass fronting of the SmytheCorp headquarters, sending a hail of jagged glass raining down on the streets. The debris renderede the rest of the road impassable by his motorbike, so Kurt eased over to the curb and put it in park. He got out his PHS and tried calling up to Sebastian's office, but the line was busy.

Kurt ran, weaving over and around the scaffolding that had fallen, pumping his arms trying to gain momentum. He would get to that damn office and get that stupid martyr complex bastard out of there.

At least, that's what he thought he was going to do, until the wave of high energy projectiles that Diamond Weapon had fired at Midgar slammed into the Sector 6 reactor, along with the top floors of the SmytheCorp building.
