Chpt1: Conflicting Twins
Cosmo Canyon. Desolate, friendless, the burning sun scorches the very ground and those foolish enough to enter unprepared.
That doesn't discourage some entering the Canyon though.
The sound of tires screeched to halt as their cries echo throughout the dusty valley. A black booted foot stamps the ground as eyes survey the area.
"Kodaj," complained Loz, "we've searched the entire are. He's not here."
"Oh he's here alright," responded the one named Kodaj, confidently.
Yazoo sighed heavily.
"Don't cry Yazoo!" teased Loz.
"But he's our Brother."
Loz's return was drowned out by an exclamation from Kodaj.
"Somebody's out there! Look!" Kodaj pointed to two figures laid on the ground who seemed to glint in the burning mid-day sun. "Come on." Kodaj kicked his bike into life and led his brothers to the two figures.
Reno sighed completely bored as he watched the repetitive scenery roll by through the helicopters wind screen. Looking for something to break his boredom, Reno's gaze fell to his partner's sunglasses. He smiled mischievously and Rude, who was scanning the ground for their targets, caught his grin.
"What?" asked Rude but before he could get an answer he saw something, or rather, somebody's down in the Canyon. "Reno."
Reno followed Rude's gaze and frowned as he saw what was up. What are those silver haired freaks want out here? He thought as he set the chopper down. Jokingly, Reno said, "Think they're the monsters we're meant to be tracking?"
Rude didn't answer and his shielded eyes followed the biker's progress towards-
"Reno, look there." Rude quickly got out and walked towards the 2 lifeless figures. Reno, after turning off all the instruments, followed suit and joined Rude by the nearest of the figures.
The young women wore a white shirt, white trousers and a simple pair of white pumps. She had brown hair that fell a little haphazardly about.
She's cute, thought Reno, an odd feeling fluttering in his stomach. He knelt down and flicked a piece of hair out of her face. His stomach jolted again at this action.
Kodaj squealed to a halt again. Yazoo and Loz also stopped.
Getting off, Kodaj eyed a black mass on the ground.
It appeared to be a youthful female in a black shirt and black trousers. On her feet were black pumps and her hair fell over half her face.
"Back for more?" asked Loz, watching Rude.
"It's been a while," Yazoo commented, looking at Reno.
Reno looked up and saw Yazoo. "You guys just don't know when to give up do you?"
Kodaj smiled dangerously. "Brothers…if you will do the honours."
Yazoo suddenly launched himself at Reno who pulled out his EMR just time to stop Yazoo's strike.
Loz, simultaneously, started exchanging blows with Rude.
With the two Turks distracted, Kodaj grabbed the black garbed girl and put her on the back of his bike, careful to ensure she wouldn't fall off. As he went for the white clothed girl, he felt a powerful shock run through the length of his body.
Reno had knocked Yazoo out and was defending the other girl from Kodaj.
Backing off, Kodaj scowled viciously. He saw Yazoo coming around and, knowing that he weren't going to get the other girl; he waved his hand to signal retreat.
Yazoo stumbled to his bike whilst Kodaj busy and Loz broke of hiss fight with rude and hurried to his bike.
Kodaj also raced to his bike and the three of them created enough dust to create a smoke screen for them to escape behind.
One is better than none, thought Kodaj.
Reno and Rude coughed as the bikers left.
As the dust finally settled, Reno floundered to the remaining girls' side. She appeared completely unaware of what had just happened.
Putting one arm round his neck, he lifted the girl and looked at Rude.
Rude watched Reno and said, "What are you doing?"
"Well, we can't just leave her can we?" reasoned Reno, forcefully.
Rude sighed and helped Reno take the girl back to the helicopter sand Shinra Headquarters.
