Cloud and the others arrived at Shinra headquarters.

" I still don't understand why we didn't just go to their new headquarters in Junon." Yuffie complains. " Wouldn't they be there. "

" Yes, for once I agree." Vincent adds.

" Because, this place should be deserted after the attack by platinum weapon. And they had a huge library of research and they probably have some information that will help us find the promise land." Tifa explains.

They enter the rundown building just as the elevator reached the bottom floor. Reno, Rude, and Elena exited and the two groups stared at each other, both surprised bye the other's being there.

" What are you guy's doing here?!" stated Reno and Nanaki.

" None of your business" Elena and Yuffie respond.

" Fuck this" Barret says and begins to open fire on the three Turks, sending them running for cover.

" We probably shouldn't tell them about Rufus and Tseng upstairs!" Elena yells over the gunfire.

" You know Elena." Reno says. " I try to be nice but you're about dense."

" Cloud, take Tifa and Vincent, and head upstairs" Barret says. "We've got these thr…"

Barret doesn't get out the last part after getting surprised by Rude, who had been going around to flank them.

Barret and Rude struggle on the ground as Reno and Elena take this time to jump on the other three, Elena tackling Yuffie, and Reno hitting Shelke with his baton knocking her out, then jumping on Nanaki's back, riding him like a horse.

" Just go" yells Barret.

" Yeah we can take them" adds Yuffie kicking Elena in the side, and going to help Nanaki.

Not waiting Cloud, and Tifa Rush to the elevator, Vincent stays behind to help against the Turks.

"Who are you" Rufus demand's.

" I am Jera, I am the Cetra that has been sent to make sure you don't return to the promise land." The figure replies. " You and your lackey."

" Well, that is inconvenient. Wouldn't you agree Tseng?"

" Yes, sir, inconvenient indeed." Tseng answers nervously.

" Enough! Give me the key!" Jera interrupts.

" What key is that?" Rufus bluffs

Jera starts towards the two men. " I am not here to play around."

The elevator stops at the top floor and Cloud and Tifa rush out. And head for the stairs, taking separate staircases in hope of attacking from both sides. When they reach the top of the stairs, they are greeted at a shocking sight. Rufus is being held off the ground by his collar, by a behemoth of a man, he has to be eight feet tall. And near three hundred pounds. He has jet-black hair and wears extravagant brown robes. He has a black sheath on his belt holstering a three-foot broadsword. On the ground thirty feet away Tseng is unconscious, a bloody cut on his forehead.

O.K. I don't think it's as good as the first but I think it is better than the second. At least I finally got to put some action into it. This is harder than I thought it would be though I already know the ending but I have to get there some how. Keep reviewing and I'll keep writing.

Don't own these character, except maybe Jera I'm not sure how it works exactly.

And finally thanks to Le Pecore Nere. For reviewing my previous two chapters. I really wasn't going to write this quickly but since I know some one is reading I know I hate to be kept waiting when I'm reading on of these so I'll try to keep writing the chapters.
