The Great Fair Chase

This short side story takes place in the Mako City- 's a story about Reno and the now deceased, Zack Fair, doing an action packed chase all around Midgar. The point of this chase, it was for the hell of it, just kidding. It was Reno's attempt to capture Zack Fair and bring him back to the Turks, not SOLDIER. But Reno sadly fails, but their friendship never ended, though Zack's life ended shortly after this happened.

Chapter One: Reno

"*Huff huff huff*….Is he gone now?" someone questioned, he peersover the corner to see no one was there, "Good, he's not here yet. Let's keep moving." He said. He ran to a parked car and slide underneath it to hide for a few moments.

Suddenly, he heard someone running closer and closer to where he was hiding, and yelled, "Come on out, Zack! I know you are around here somewhere!"

Zack couldn't see much from underneath this car, but he clearly saw that this person was wearing a tuxedo, and carrying a thin silver club. Zack couldn't do much, but wait until something happened before he could go anywhere. He followed the guys feet all the around the vehicle and then stopped in front of Zack's face. Zack was now extremely nervous. He did not dare to crawl forward to peer upwards at the figure that was chasing him. From Zack's point of view, it looked as if the figure started to catch on where he was hiding; so Zack slowly crawled backwards away from the mysterious person.

"ZAAAAAACCCCKKKKK, WHEERRRREEEE AARRREEE YOOUUUUU?" the person screamed at the top of his/her lungs while looking around.

Zack knew he has a chance to get away still, because this person he knew personally was not that bright, and he is a klutz. Zack crouched beside the car and looked through the windows and saw that, this person had a long red pony-tail, with spiky hair on top of his head. He wore goggles over his forehead and waved his club around knocking and breaking stuff around him. He thought to himself: Man, I'd hate to be this guy's partner. He is just waving his weapon around as if it is a pointer. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about that, SOLDIER 1st Class Operatives work alone, depending on the mission of course. We also are in command of a small elite fighting force of 20-35 2nd Class operatives. There is only one Turk I know of that acts like this, Reno.

Just when his thoughts had finished, Reno looked to the right and spotted Zack. "Zack, come back with me, please!" Reno begged, "Don't make me use force."

"No! I'm not going back there! I have my pride and honor to protect!" Zack retorted as he gently rubbed the Buster Sword's red leather covered handle. When he finished, he ran into an alleyway that was close by. He knew that this particular alleyway had a secret; it leads down into the 6th District of Midgar, otherwise known as the Air Depot. But he has to cut through this alleyway, Main Street, The Midar Museum, and finally get past the 6th District's heavy duty, missile proof, 10 foot thick, iron-steel plated door.

"Zack, please, you don't understand!" Reno pleaded.

"No, I know what you are going to do with me once you capture me! You are gonna give me to the SOLDIER Science Department for their messed up experiments!" Zack hollered as he ran into the alleyway and climbed up the fire escape ladder.

"Che! He really doesn't get, well Cissnei did say 'He probably won't listen to us because of his pride and honor towards SOLDIER.' Well, she was dead on on that part. When will he learn to swallow his pride a little and come back with us, we're trying to protect him since SOLDIER has no control in Turk Territory. I hope he doesn't take this to the very bitter end." Reno said as he was hot on Zack's Trail, and then stopped. He realized what would've happened if he took another step forward. If had taken another full step forward, he would have fallen five stories to his death.

"Whew! That was a close one." He muttered. He looked up to the other roof side to Zack waving to him and dancing.

"REEEEENNNNOOOOO! I BET YOU CAN'T JUMP THAT FAAAAARRRRRRR!" Zack yelled.

Reno looks straight ahead to see the gap between the two buildings, then looks down to see how far down of a fall it would be. "Ok, it's time to try these out. If they fail, I fall to my death. If I don't get enough momentum, I fall to my death. No pressure ha ha ha ha." Reno worriedly said as he was reaching for a button on each of his shoes, "Alright, if I had done this right, all I should now is to~…..jump up and click my feet together to start the rocket boosters built into these shoes." And then the rockets burst out and started to hover. "So far, so good. Now, all I got to do is lean forward a bit and I should be able to go forward. Ha! Take that, Zack! Now you won't be able to escape from me now!"

Shocked to see that he was hiding rocket boosters in his shoes, Zack starts running across the rooftops as fast he could, as he saw that Reno was catching up quickly.
