Defeat

Reveal All At the End

"In the last two weeks over a hundred SOLDIERs have vanished from their posts on the front lines." Lazard's voice was as cool as ever, despite the severity of the words.

Sephiroth tensed. If Wutai were really so strong as to kill the advanced, enhanced elite at such a rate, ShinRa's victory was not going to be as easily obtained as the President originally anticipated.

"Defection?" the General asked. The concept itself left the bitter taste of vitriol upon his tongue, Lazard could see in his frown.

Pushing his glasses back up his nose, the blonde executive leant back in his chair; rolling back a few inches just to regard Sephiroth's ever-stoic expression. "The missing SOLDIERs… were from Genesis' platoon."

A flash of surprise, an emotion of confusion rife with worry flashed across the SOLDIER's slim, pale face. "Genesis?" Now his voice was weaker, lower than the characteristic purr he was known the world around for.

So the rumours whispered through the fighting ranks were true. Lazard felt regretful for even doubting it. Sephiroth and Genesis were lovers.
