Zack struggled to gaze where he saw Cloud heading into Midgar. He was extremely relieved to see that his friend had made it through the Mako addiction. To him it seemed like days ago he was coming out of the Shinra Mansion after fighting Sephiroth with Cloud, best friend and his legacy. But he knew that in a few days to him was actually nearly 4 years.
"I hope that Aerith will be fine,"
Zack thought this as he saw even more white. He thought he was hearing some strange roaring sounds, and he saw a helicopter. Then three familiar people got out of the copter. Reno, Rude, and Cisseni.
"God's," Cisseni shouted.
Tears came to her face, they were to late. She really hoped and believed they could get to them sooner. It was then that she realized the blond one was not there. She approached Zack, picking up his hand to see if there was any life in him.
She felt a faint pulse.
"Zack, stay with us!"
She was unsure if he could hear or not
Reno and Rude approacehed with a medical bed. They would take him to Junon, to a private medical doctor. This was a priate mission requested by the new head of Solider, Kunsell. It was only shortly after Kunsell was promoted to 1st class, that Tseng, himself, requested that he be the new head. The fact of the matter was that Solider and the Turks had mergered into one area. The only problem was that he was there for show... the real person in charge of it was Scarlet. But the Turks themselves did a ton of "under the table" missions all the time.
It was only hours later that they arrived in Junon.
15 hours later...
The doctor who treated him came out.
"I must say, I didn't think that we could save him, but we were able to... however, he will need about a week to recuperate... he is conscious now if you want to see him, but keep it short."
Tseng looked at Cisseni, as he came into the room only seconds ago.
"Go, but be quick there has been an attack on Midgar, and we have to go and find a groups where-abouts."
Cisseni went into the room. Zack had a few scars here and there, but was otherwise looked like he was not shot at all. This doctor was truly amazing.
Zack, who thought for sure he was done for, only to see who was his savior. And realized it may only be temporary.
"So, why did you save me, just to kill me yourself?" Zack questioned.
Cisseni shook her head.
"It's not like that at all, we need your help, but for now, you just rest."
Just then Tseng came in.
"We tried to beat the Shinra security to their ambush, but we failed. We do have a task for you, but now is no the time, as we need to get back to Midgar to find a group known as Avalanche."
Zack had heard the group, but he never thought they would be the target of the Turks.
"You see, Zack, Cesseni said, they have blown up the number one reactor during the time we took you here, and now we need to find them to..."
"Destroy them?" Zack asked finishing their sentence.
"Not exactly, Tseng said, we have a plan to use Avalanche, as your friend, Cloud was seen helping them blow up the Mako reactor 1. We want their help to catch Sephiroth."
"But, Cloud... Zack started."
"Killed Sephiroth, Cisseni finished and continued, we have been having reports near bone village of a tall man with a long sword and long white hair, and glowing eyes."
"We will call you in about a week to bring you to Midgar, but we need to get moving, now."
Zack had to laugh at this. In some ways it is irony that his legacy would be the one to cause trouble for Shinra. But he would need more convincing he thought to help out Shinra, after everything he had seen with what it had done. As he drifted off to sleep he asked:
"Angeal, what would the honorable thing to do be?"
