Chapter 1
Colonel Richard Grimoire Valentine was nervous that Brigadier Mage had called him to his office and why was the colonel nervous. You ask because the brigadier was most likely going the kill him and why. Well with the death of the General Heidegger makes the brigadier the highest ranking office alive and me the second highest ranking office and the brigadier got his rank with the help of bribes and murder. Where as I got my rank the right way fighting and leading my men and out foxing my opponent. So the next boss of shin-ra will as the men say will chose me to replace Heidegger and that the brigadier will be past over. So what's the problem well a couple of mouths back while drunk I may of implied that if I ever out ranked the brigadier and I quote "I would bust that idiot's ass down to private so fast he would break his feet when he hits the floor" end quote so you see my problem.
Well nothing going to happen just waiting outside his office may as well face the music. So I knock and enter his office. "Sir Colonel Valentine reporting as ordered sir" at ease the brigadier replied with what sounded like a defeated tone "takes a seat colonel and let me explain why I ordered you here. Now this is not how I though this would go I didn't expect to take 2 steeps with out getting a bullet hole in the fore head so I slowly take my seat. "What is this not what you expected colonel" the brigadier chuckles "well Valentine I want to kill no point lying to you about that but I can't do it you know". I shake my head showing the brigadier that I don't understand. The brigadier sighs "respect" I raise one of my raven black eye brows at this "now colonel the men respect you greatly and would follow you into lifestream if the though took you so I am willing to bet that if I was to kill you I would be hanging from the nearest object of sufficient height before your body got cold" after hearing that I relaxed a bit but just a bit. "and valentine I can't bribe you because you are one of the few offices that are not corrupt so I would like to make a deal let me retire valentine and you get no trouble from me so what do you say" OK to say I was shocked would have been an understatement big time but from the look in his eyes left me with 2 options a) I let the old guy go and get a big promotion or b) don't let the guy go and have him kill me hard choice So I say "I guess that make me acting General" the brigadier smiled and says "I will be gone with in the hour General". Then his console started beeping the brigadier reach out to answer it but stops and grins then looks at me "I guess this is for you now as I am now retired and you're the acting general". So he gets up leaves the room and I am left to answer the summons and what do I see on the screen Midgar contacting Junon high priority. Now
It's my turn to smile I open the link and say "Hello Reeve sir"
"Acting General brigadier valentine reporting sir"
