"Reeve, who were those men?" Vincent asked as we sat in a truck, on our way to the city of Edge.

"Deepground SOLDIERs." Reeve answered, and I sat up quickly.

"Deepground?" Vincent raised an eyebrow.

"Special SOLDIERs that were…Well, let's say they were specially modified." I replied darkly.

"Modified like you?"

"No, of course not." I said, running a hand through my hair. "I can't really tell you how they were modified-I was never there-but I can say that they're tough bastards."

"Yes." Reeve concurred. "The man you met earlier, Azul, he's also a member of Deepground, but he's part of an elite group known as the Tsviets."

"You met a Tsviet?" I asked, turning to Vincent, who nodded slightly. "Did you kill him?"

"No, he left before we could fight." Vincent answered.

"Huh." I shrugged.

"Deepground was a well-kept secret within ShinRa. Only the President, Scarlet, Heidegger, and Hojo are the only ones who knew, so far as we can tell. There is very little information on the area." Reeve commented. "We've only recently started finding Scarlet's notes on it, and most of those are incomplete copies. I also doubt that Rufus was ever briefed on the project, considering the transfer of power was done so quickly."

"I knew of it." I raised a hand. "But then, Hojo liked to brag about whatever project he had a hand in. When I was first told of it, it wasn't even really started. They were to be SOLDIERs with no morality in them. Like me." Vincent glanced over at me, a touch of sympathy in his eyes. Vincent knew, of course, that I did not like to have someone's sympathy, but was careful to not sympathize more than I could handle.

"Yes, well, as Head of Urban Development, I was clearly not on the need-to-know list." Reeve said, his voice ringing with bitterness. What an idiot. He knows quite well that he was never really useful to ShinRa. "Anyway, have you two heard about the mass disappearance in Junon?" We both nodded. "The report would like you to believe that 20 or 30 people suddenly vanished, but the actual number is somewhere around 1200. It was determined that if the truth got out, there would be no handling the panic."

"Damn straight." I agreed. "People panic when things like that happen."

"You would know all about that, wouldn't you, Sephiroth?" Reeve glared at me.

"Enough, you two." Vincent interrupted, and I sat back in my seat. Reeve isn't worth my time, anyway.

"Anyway, the WRO conducted a private investigation, but came up empty handed. Well, there are rumors in Edge that the people there can hear people wailing in Midgar every night. It could be the wind, but let me ask you: Does the wind sound like a thousand wailing souls?" Reeve asked seriously.

"Commissioner! There's a rogue transmission over the airwaves!" The boy driving said over the speaker.

We all turned to watch the screen behind Reeve. The figure who came upon it was wearing no shirt, only pants, and sitting on a throne. His white hair made a mane behind him, and he leaned upon his knees.

"At last," he began, "the time has come to cleanse this world. The pure will be spared for the cause, while the tainted will be hunted down and exterminated. They shall be slashed, strangled, and slaughtered, beaten, stabbed, and crushed, garroted and impaled, shot and executed without mercy. The time has come to cleanse this world." He gave his speech before leaving everyone with an evil laugh. I'm almost proud of him. Too bad his laugh is nothing compared to mine.

I turn to bring this up to Vincent, but the truck is hit with something on the outside. Reeve jumped up, running to the back doors and opening them to show a pack of guard hounds, the first of which Vincent shot to save Reeve the pain of having his face ripped off. Too bad. It would have been funny to watch.

So while Vincent got to use the nice little machine gun Reeve had laying in the floor of the truck, I climbed onto the roof to play some ball. Yes, there really was no difficulty until the dumbass driver decided to jump over the river, since the bridge was out. I had no warning, and lost grip on the roof, nearly flying off. Thankfully, Masamune is 6-foot long, and easily pierced through the roof of the truck to give me purchase. As soon as we landed, Vincent ran out of the truck, looking worried.

I merely pulled Masamune from the truck and smirked at him. He sighed in relief upon seeing me. So I do worry him sometimes…I thought I was the only one who worried.

"Vincent, Sephiroth…The engine is shot. Please continue to Edge, if you can. Help the WRO squad that has already been dispatched there to liberate the city." Reeve begged of us. I opened my mouth to say 'no', but Vincent decided to answer for us.

"I guess we have no choice." He said with a sigh. Silly Vincent, there is always a choice. But, this is one of his friends, so I suppose there's really not.

So we started on our way. Of course, the first place we come to is completely surrounded by large stone walls and filled with guard hounds. What luck. The battle didn't take long, they never do, considering Vincent's aim with a gun. I merely took out the little bastards running around while Vincent took out their leader, who stayed on the tall stone pillars. Once they were finished, we continued on our way. The guard hound leader decided she wasn't down for the count, however, and came for Vincent. She met the business end of Masamune, and did not get back up after that.

"Thank you, Sephiroth." Vincent commented while we walked.

"Only for you." I said cheekily, grinning.

It didn't take long after that for Deepground to try killing us again. This time we were attacked with Riders. They rode Airbikes of a sort, and I felt a brief pang of jealousy. I never got any of those things to ride. Fucking ShinRa.

These proved a bit more difficult to fight, considering the fact that they are moving on high-speed vehicles. I finally just settled for holding Masamune out like a clothesline and decapitating some of them that way while Vincent attempted to snipe them off. Of course, we finally just used magic on their asses, and went on our merry way. And I mean merry because I got Vincent out of his clothes on the basis of needing to dry them out from all the blood.

Hey, I can't be blamed for wanting my lover unclothed, now can I? We'll make it to Edge later.

A/N: That chapter was kinda hard to write, since it's basically fighting the whole way through, and if it's not, it's talking. Stupid Reeve…I actually have nothing against him, he just talks too much. Anyway, R&R, please! And I'll try getting the next chapter up sooner!
