DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters of Squaresoft, I think you all know this.

Author's Note (AN): I like Axel, and I like Reno…and I thought that Reno would make a good 'other' for Axel. But I wondered how Reno would have become Axel…so I'm trying to figure that out by writing randomly…; Please don't be upset if it doesn't get finished…but I'mma try my best! Q(OwO) Well...if you guys like it. I hope you do! ;A; I'm kinda having fun with this one! Reno's an awesome character XD

CHAPTER ONE

Reno propped his feet up on the coffee table and clicked on the TV just as Rude stepped in.

"New orders from Tseng." he said.

"Aw, shit man, I just got comfortable!" Reno whined popping a beer can open. "Tell Elena to do it." he said taking a sip.

Rude peered over the rim of his sunglasses, "Elena's still working on the last assignment we were given."

"Oh yeah." he flipped to a different channel and grinned, "The one in the mountains."

-Elsewhere-

Elena shivered and rubbed her arms looking around her at the surrounding two feet of snow. "I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM!"

-

"But Tseng said this one's important." Rude said. Reno just flipped to a different channel and re-sipped his drink, "He has received documents from Restricted Personnel, and wants us to investigate illegal experimentation going on in a place called Hallow Bastion."

"Illegal experimentation, huh?" Reno said not sounding the least bit interested, "Like on what?"

"That's what our job is. To find out." Rude said.

Reno clicked off the TV, chugged his beer, then threw the can on the floor with the rest of their usual garbage, "Well, let's go then." he said getting up with a sigh.

-

They arrived at SHINRA HQ, where they were greeted by Cougar, a 2nd ranking commander. He eyeballed them, then snorted, "I'm surprised you managed to get your lazy-ass up!" he snapped at Reno, "Where's Elena?"

"…she's busy." Reno responded scratching his nose.

Cougar narrowed his eyes, then reached in his coat pocket and carefully pulled out an envelope, "These are your orders. Tseng wants your report by Monday."

"Righty-O!" Reno said snatching the envelope from the commander and shredding it open. Rude peaked over his shoulder at the letter. He whispered the words to himself, but froze at one in particular. Reno had been glancing at him annoyed through the side of his eye, "It's Xehanort." he said aiding his friend, then looked at Cougar, "Who is this guy?"

The commander shrugged, "Hell if I know. Apparently works for a scientist named Ansem." he crossed his arms, "But you're to follow me to meet the client. Some weird-looking messenger from 'the King'"

"The King?" Reno and Rude asked in unison.

"Just follow me!" Cougar growled starting to walk off without waiting.

"No need to be pissy." Reno said.

"What was that?" Cougar had stopped and craned his neck to glare at them over his shoulder.

"I said 'You're a sissy.'" he turned to Rude chuckling, "Or was it 'Look at Miss Prissy'? I can never remember these things!"

"Very funny." the captain snapped, then looked back ahead of him and turned walking into stomping. Rude and Reno followed, quite amused.
