Teddy sat on the church bench near the flower bed as the others listened to him tell what he could remember of what happened to him and where he came from. He told him of the need to find the shards or remnants of the crystal, and its urgency that he find the one in their world fast, before something bad happens.
"Wow Teddy, so you really made that crater?" Aerith asks, as the three others look on in disbelief.
"It would appears so, I blacked out when I hit that building, next thing I remember is waking up to you four standing over me." Teddy replied, looking down at the small meal that the teen had prepared for him. Finishing the sandwich and taking his time with the drink, he turns and looks at the other three people sitting there. "Could any of you three tell me where I'm at now and if anything strange is happening in your world."
"Well,"starts Barret, "nothing more strange then you and your fireball entrance. Right Spikey!" he finishes, elbowing Cloud in the shoulder.
"Barret!" rolling her eyes, Tifa looks at Teddy continuing, "There's nothing that I can think of, but then Shinra wouldn't let anyone know if there was anything wrong anyways.", looking at the other two men, she keeps going, "Its the reason we formed a group to fight against them, Barret and me, and Cloud, who used to be one of their elite Soldiers, we try to stop and bring them to justice for the crimes they commit against the planet." Suddenly Barret whispers into her ear then tilts his head in Teddy's direction, before going back to Cloud and getting into a heated discussion about something.
"Barret wants to know if you to want to join us for our next mission, we're going to assault Shinra HQ tonight." staring at Aerith then Teddy, "after seeing her healing materia in action, and your need for answers, we could, well, use your help."
Teddy looks around at everyone sitting there, then looks at Aerith seeing her looking at Tifa nodding, then he looks back, "Okay, I'll help you. I really need to find the answers before I can leave." seeing her nod thankfully, Teddy and the four of them start planning out their moves, leaving for the target a few hours later just as the sun sets, getting on the pillar train and riding it up to the upper plate(which was kindly explained to Teddy that Midgar was one city).
Arriving at Shinra HQ, the five assault members get their weapons ready.
"Here, you look like you can use these." Cloud comes up and holds out a pair of bangles and a choker, "their equipped with low level defense materia, should help keep you safe as we go" taking them Teddy nods, watching the others finish getting ready. Finally they storm the doors, walking into the lobby expecting a army to be there, but finding no one at the front desk.
Looking around, Cloud looks puzzled but motions for them to get on the elevators, hitting the fifth button from the top they start up, not being able to go further with out a key card. Sitting in the elevator, they all fidget nervously as it climbs higher up the buildings side. Suddenly the elevator stops two floors below where they were heading for, a mysterious laugh echoing through the speakers as the doors open to show dozens of Soldiers standing in the hall, all their weapons pointed at them.
"Heehee, look at whats been found in the building" the speaker squaks "three terrorist, and Ms. Cetra, but a even bigger treat. You mister, the one who feel through the sky and crashed in the slums, yes I watched you appear in our world, it said you would come, Please allow the armed men to escort you to your new homes." still laughing, the speaker goes silent as the soldiers motion for the five of them to exit and move forward, leading them to a bunch of cells, separating the group into individual cells, then dragging Teddy away to another elevator, the soldiers take him up two floors to the science floor. Leading him into a clean room, they strap him to the table in the center and then leave.
"Well, how do you like your new acomedations" says the voice through the speaker, "It was telling me the truth, you did come like it said you would. Now it will reward me with more knowledge on the Cetra and Jenova, making it possible to become a god."
"Wait, you said It told you?" looking around Teddy looks finally at the mirror, guessing it was a two-way mirror, "you have to let me have what ever it is, you have know idea what your doing." Struggling against the bindings holding him down, trying to figure out how to get free. Suddenly alarms sound, a voice coming over the loud speakers.
"All personal, the subject in cell block three has escaped and freed the other prisoners and test subjects. All personal, please subdue and restrain all targets, use non lethal force."
"Blast it, what are those incompetent soldiers and lab techs doing" the voice says before the speaker on the wall cuts out and the lights dim.
Laying there nervous, Teddy starts to pull harder against his bindings, when he stops and listens carefully, hearing battle sounds in the halls somewhere, he starts pulling harder. Suddenly the door kicks in.
