A/N: This is another Mixed Up Realities Stand alone Fic. I thought that it would be fun to see how the heroes in Final Fantasy could handle Umbrella's B.O.W.s. This was actually written before FE2.0, but takes place in that arc's future. Though this is written to be stand alone. Which means with luck, you don't have to read the first arc to understand what's going on in this on. Again, Cole, FANGZ and Taima are mine. The rest belong to either Squaresoft or Capcom... Hm... wonder if I have too many emo boys in one fic?

Cole Ghost kicked at the hull of her fighter. It would take weeks for the crews on the ship to fix it. Even longer for them to get to her, which meant she was on her own for the time being.

At least I won't be for long. With luck the report we got saying that Leon might be here's right. After all it's my fault he was left behind. She bit her lip and heard the hatch open allowing her AI sidekick to come out of hiding. The large robotic cat stretched and looked at her.

"This doesn't look like the hangar bay."

Cole rolled her eyes a little. "It's not FANGZ. We're not with the fleet. I had to make a side stop. And seems at least part of the report was true. We were shot down. I already radioed the others. With luck we'll get a rescue party in about a month. Well, Ray was wanting me to take a vacation. Looks like we're on a forced one." She sighed stretching. "Glad to know that you weren't destroyed. I would have hated having to rebuild you again." She smirked a little.

"Well, I do have that new body waiting for me. Prime says it should be better than this one." He padded over to her. "Where too now?"

"I'm still trying to create an image map. Though, there's a settlement not far from here. The beings here are humanoid. Not sure if there are other races on the planet as well though. Maybe you should hang out a while here. Just so we don't freak out the locals."

"Oh, like a black eyed dark haired woman dressed in the latest "Ass-kicker-apparel" TM, isn't?" FANGZ flashed a small grin. She glanced at her clothes and sighed. FANGZ was right, in her battle armor, she did look like something out of a really bad nightmare. She pulled off her helmet and tossed it into the cockpit of her fighter, shaking her head, letting her hair fall where it wanted. The purple locks fell neatly to the sides of her face, in front of her shoulders. She slipped off her gloves and thought a moment. "FANGZ, my Civies still in storage?"

The robotic sabertoothed tiger pulled out a battered duffle bag and she pulled off her flight jacket, tossing it with her helmet as she rummaged through the bag to find what she wanted. Pulling out the light weight purple and black armor she put it on. "Better?"

"Now you look like yourself." FANGZ nodded. "All dangerous..."

She looked at him and shook her head. "You have been hanging out with the rest of the MAGE Squad too much. Keep it up and I'll start thinking some of your programing is getting reworked by Satsuki and Beast." She shook her head. "Either that or you've been patching into S.T.A.R.S. again."

"Oh no way. Beast isn't as sophisticated as me or S.K.U.L.D." He grinned at her. "S.K.U.L.D.'s hacked him a few times, much to Virus's dismay. Though, it's fun to tease the Chambers girl. Though I think she has a problem with me. Must be because I corrected her on how she looked at life. I don't think she can handle knowing that there is synthetic life, let alone Cybertronian life. I'd hate to see how she deals with Prime."

"You need to lay off Satsuki a little okay? She's trying. She's not an Edward, but she's close. Hell, Ed's even impressed by her machine. And I didn't think anything would shock the red head." Going back to the situation at hand Cole stretched. "I want a check list of our suplies FANGZ. Can you get it for me? I'm going to try to get to the fleet again. Maybe I can trick the radio into working."

"Well, you can try, but our communications are fried. I can't even reach Sis. You sure they got the message before we crashed?"

"Yeah, I was able to give the last readings before we hit atmosphere to 'Bee. He said he'd relay it over to the ship. Lucky we were on our way to see the bots eh?" She looked at the one person fighter. The Valkarie was trashed. She could handle losing it, after all, hardly anyone used them anymore. Only reason she had grabbed it was that it was a custom job, it had been fitted for a cubby big enough to fit one of two items inside. One being FANGZ, the other being her Cyclone.

"Looks like you have enough rations for a while. Water's no problem either. Power though. That might be a problem. I'm reading that the nanites are acting up again with you."

"It's okay right now. I was damaged in the crash. They're fixing it." She sank down next to the Valkarie and looked out over their surroundings. "How about you?"

"Systems are running at optimal capacity."

Fluck! Cole had played into an amature's trap. Diving for cover she touched her shoulder feeling the warm tackiness of fresh blood. "Ow, I manage to get this flucking far and now get a wound. You better hope it doesn't scar asshole!" She touched the small flashlight like cylinder at her hip then stopped. She wasn't sure if this world had lazer capabilities. Best if I keep that to myself a while. She stood only to see that her attacker had moved incredibly fast. "Shit."

"Not good." Reno stumbled to a stop just inside the doorway of the building. He saw Ghost standing in front of the white haired being before her, hands out to show she was unarmed.

"You think?" The bald man commented to his red haired companion.

"So, Turks, who's your pretty little friend here? She's prettier than the other one you had. More exotic looking, bet you got her from Market street didn't you? The Don give you a discount?" The white haired man who walked up to her caught her wrist before she could swing the blade in her hand toward him to stop him from getting close to her. Cole hissed as he pulled her closer, twisting her arm behind her. She lowered her face only to have him roughly tilt her head up.

"She has Mako eyes." Kadaj breathed softly catching the green glow to her eyes. He dug his fingers into her wrist, making her release her knife. Ghost reached her free hand for the secondary weapon she carried, only to have him catch it as well. All bantering was lost on him a moment. After all, their black sheep brother was supposed to be the last of them with a Mako infusion that had colored their eyes.

Oh, there were a few Shinra projects roaming around, like Shelke for instance, but none that had shown any real promise for a good fight. The look on the woman's eyes though, hinted that she might actually be a challenge.

"What the fluck is Mako?"

He smiled at her, keeping his hand tightly on her wrist, twisting it slightly to make her yelp and turn to prevent him from snapping it. Okay, this guy's starting to really piss me off. He keeps it off I'm ripping off that arm. Ghost didn't bother hiding the anger in her eyes as she looked up at him over her shoulder. She caught sight of two more moving to flank them as the long haired pretty boy wrapped an arm around her throat to keep the red head and his bald headed partner back. Since he had let go of one arm, she reached up, trying to try his fingers off her neck.

"She's not even from here. Leave her alone." This was the red head who spoke up. Ghost would normally bitch about being treated like a normal girl, but, it was kind of cute seeing someone she knew was weaker than her, stand up for her. Besides, the man was kind of amusing. Not to mention she was having a hard enough time trying to act like she had to breathe.

Okay, now's not the time to be thinking about jumping in the sack with someone. I die and I don't find out if Leon's even here. I'm not going to let Umbrella keep him. Besides... This guy's pissing me off. If I thought that they could handle seeing a cyborg in action I'd take care of this asshole...

Ghost tensed a little more smirking slightly when she felt the man's weight shift. He released her arm and waved it, sending the red head flying back. "Okay, you know, I really hate it when SPB's pick on normal humans." Enough is enough. The red head was only trying to help me.

She stomped down, making him release her. Ghost turned balling her hands into fists, she spun on the balls of her feet kicking out.

There was a beep from her wrist and she scowled, her Glitch system was informing her she needed more rest. Not now Glitch. Seriously... Hang in there a while longer will you?

"Reno, you okay?" Ghost didn't turn to look at him yet. In fact she was scared to. The man had proven that he was strong, and she wasn't sure how strong she was in comparison.

"Damn, that hurt." Reno sat up rubbing his jaw, wincing as he felt something in his back pulled.

Cole gave a faint smile. Okay he's up and moving, so he'll live for now at least. Let's just hope that they'll run when I tell them to.

"One on one ass. Let's see if you boys are a match for me. I win, you let me and my companions do our business here and leave. You win, you get to make the deal then." Ghost rolled her neck trying to act like she was calm, she could feel five pairs of eyes on her knowing they were trying to figure out how she was moving without any sign of pain. Oops, I should have acted a little hurt. "I've faced bigger baddies than you." She pulled the light saber from where it was hidden in the small of her back. Though I usually had better armor and weapons. Hell all I have at the moment is a light saber and a lot of wishful thinking. Let's just hope that Aries is on my side. She thought deciding it was well worth the risk using her light saber. The man had already fucked up her plans after all.

"Whoah, how many of those you have hidden on you?" Reno yelped as Rude bopped him. After all, Reno had thought she had broken one earlier when they had been attacked by a red dragon.

"Pocketspace is a wonderful thing." Ghost turned giving Reno a smile as she stepped back, letting the white haired man stand.

Kadaj laughed rubbing his jaw. "That actually hurt a little." He looked at the smaller woman and smiled. "Been a while since someone could actually get through my defenses."

"Ghost, this is suicide." Rude moved to her side. "We'd be lucky to get out of here alive."

She gripped the saber in her hand tightly, not activating the blade. "One on one, Rude, get Reno out of here. Finish your mission and just go. If I fail I fail." She didn't bother looking back. "Besides, they don't look so tough. The big one might give me a little trouble, but I like a little action now and then."

The two Turks looked at each other.

"She's as crazy as Cloud and Vincent." He watched as the woman dodged a blow, and a ball of purple colored flame flew at the man. "And I'd love to see what materia she just us-" Reno's words were cut off as Rude grabbed him, jumping back out of the way of the stranger's fight.
