Jade: I am determined to finish this story by the end of this week or next week. I have already been toying with another TifaxReno story….it will be an AU. I am really having a lot of fun writing these action scenes…I keep on listening to a lot of rock while I write them…it seems to help. Oh you know this chapter will be good. Lots of blood and violence as always. The ride is almost over…so enjoy it while it lasts. EXTREMELY VIOLENT CHAPTER…KIDS SHOULD NOT READ IT.

Reno's Revenge

" Stupid boy…" A voice resonated from the shadows of the room as Reno entered with his gun drawn.

Ryu stood parallel to Tifa's battered and poisoned body and offered a coy smile. In his hand rested a strange orb of material.

" What the fuck is that!" Reno demanded as he cocked his gun, ready to take action if the need arised.

" It's a special material called Plague…I suggest that you drop the weapon now otherwise I'll cast it."

" I don't think so…anything can be cured by a counter materia. Any idiot knows that."

Ryu smirked as he held the materia over Tifa's head and chanted its incantation. Instantaneously Tifa's body began to convulse violently with shivers. Her flesh paled to the color of snow, her veins becoming more and more prominent. She was then racked with a series of violent coughs, the last one forcing her to spit up blood.

" You son of a bitch!" Reno screamed as he fired his weapon, lodging the bullet into Ryu's hand. He dropped the material to the ground and cradled his injury for a moment. Then he did the unthinkable, he brought the wound to his mouth and licked the blood from the puncture.

" Delicious…"

" Sick fuck!" Reno roared as he withdrew two throwing daggers and hurled them at his person. Each one lodging itself into each of his shoulders. Ryu only laughed at his actions as he removed the offending weapons with his injured hand.

" I can't feel pain Turk…so I can't understand the pleasures of love, or the dangers of death. I am freed from such finite trivials."

Ryu then advanced towards Reno, abandoning Tifa's shivering living corpse.

" Oh how I will enjoy watching you suffer….under my will. I'll torture you of course but the twisted thing is…I'll give you the privledge of watching her die…"

" HELP ME! I CAN'T SEE…OR HEAR….RENO? VINCENT? YUFFIE? ANYONE!" Tifa then began to tremble even more sporadically before finally slipping into a state of unconsciousness.

Reno's body shook with fury as his gaze shifted from Tifa to Ryu. Within an instant Reno's feet were alive with movement, carrying his body towards Ryu. With one violent push, they were both out of the nearby window and onto the roof.

Ryu laughed as Reno pinned him to the shingles. Each blow he received from Reno's fist yielded more bruises upon his face yet his maniacal cackles never ceased. Displeased with his results, Reno grabbed Ryu by the collar of his suit and brought his forehead against his before stepping up and away.

Ryu quieted for a moment before rising to his own feet. " What is that it Reno?"

" No….what I am going to do to you Ryu will never be enough….ever. Nothing will ever be equivalent to the amount of suffering that you have put her though…what you have put me through…your reign of hell is going to stop tonight so I hope you wrote out your will and selected the level of hell that you want to stay on because that's your next destination….even if I have to go with you!"

With that said Reno delivered a series of kicks to Ryu's chest, shattering a few ribs in the process. Ryu retaliated with an uppercut to the jaw. Reno hardly flinched at the attack as he doubled back for a moment to regroup his thoughts. He then reached behind his jacket and retrieved his EMR. A simple flick of the wrist was all it took for the weapon to become active. Electric waves roared over the steel baton as Reno twirled it playfully though his fingers. His tongue smoothed over the corners of his mouth as he approached Ryu and punched him in the stomach, forcing him to double over. Reno then grabbed a fistful of his hair and forced his face into the ground, grinding it crudely against the hardened tar of the roof.

The it happened. Reno brought the first blow of his weapon down into the center of his spine and pressed it firmly against him, not only snapping his spinal chord but allowing the currents of electricity to transfer from his weapon to Ryu's body.

The man twitched violently for a few moments before Reno gave him release. He then rolled Ryu's weakened body over with the kick of his left foot.

" Not so tough now are you…."

" I can't feel pain…" Reno knew he was lying.

" Ok…." Reno then grabbed Ryu's left hand and snapped his pinky finger.

" Feel that?"

Ryu bit into his lip as Reno continued to break the rest of his fingers on that one hand alone.

" How about that one or that one….any of those?"

After receiving silence, Reno lifted his EMR over his head and brought it down upon Ryu's left knee cap.

" Still nothing?" Reno mused as he awaited a response. Blood leaked from the corners of his enemies mouth, he had drawn blood from digging his teeth so deeply into his lips.

Reno waited a few more seconds before giving the same treatment to the other knee cap before dropping to his knees to retrieve one of his knives.

" You tell me when you feel pain…and maybe it'll stop." Reno purred as he moved the blade to Ryu's right Achilles tendon.

Reno's eyes locked with his enemies as he sliced his blade clean through it. Ryu's eyes slammed shut, his body now shook with pain, but there was still no audible sound so Reno repeated his actions.

" Like I said…nothing that I do to you will ever be equivalent to what you have put her through…"

Ryu parted his lips as if he were about to speak the words of submission but there was no such occurrence. Instead, he pursed his lips and spit blood into Reno's face. The consequence of such an action was intense. Reno took the bloodied blade that he held in his hands and drove it right in between the legs of Ryu. He gasped in pain and shock as the blade pierced his sac. Unfortunately for Ryu, Reno wasn't done, he twisted the blade a few times before dragging it from side to side before finally removing it.

An inhuman scream emerged from the lips Ryu as his eyes began to glaze. Reno grabbed him by the shirt collar as he dropped his weapon and slapped his hand across the face.

" Now, now sunshine…don't roll over and go to sleep on me just yet."

A few grunts emerged from Ryu as he wheezed for air. Reno dropped Ryu back onto the ground before breaking each of his arms. Ryu was now truly at the mercy of Reno's wrath.

" Now that you can't really move…" Reno stated lazily as he took his blade into his hand again and began to twirl it. Reno then sat down upon Ryu's chest as he pressed his hand to his opponents forehead and forced his right eye to stay open.

" No!" Ryu screamed.

" No?" Reno mused.

The blade now hung less than an inch away from his pupil.

" I wouldn't move…I might drop it."

" I'm sorry!" Ryu cried out.

" Oh? Really?"

" Please…"

" Tell me…is there a cure for what you did to her?"

" Yes…2 gyshal greens followed by a cast of heal, and restore…and then life…you have to cast life last…"

" Why!"

" The plague is eating away her body…she is technically in-between the planes of life and death right now…you have to restore her body first to get rid of the impurities. If you cast life on her first then the plague will only grow stronger and pull her over the edge into death…a death that can't be brought back with a phoenix spell…you restore her body first and then you cast life on her to bring her away from death's doorstep."

" Thank you…" Reno then plunged the dagger into the man's eye and pulled it out. Ryu howled in pain.

" Now I'll make it all stop…all of your pain."

Reno tossed his weapon aside as he took out his EMR once again and began to deliver blow after blow against Ryu's face. He only ceased when he could lift his arm no longer.

He fell to the ground and rested on his side for a minute next to Ryu's corpse before dragging himself off of the ground and climbed back inside the window he jumped out of.

Tifa was alive, but just barely. Her retrained body struggled for each breath, her eyes were now had a milk colored film over them, her nails had turned purple. Lesions had erupted in her flesh as well.

Reno gently reached down and ran his fingers through her whitening hair. She twitched against him but relaxed. She knew it was him just by the gentleness of his hand.

Tears stung his eyes as he cried out for Vincent, Yuffie and Reeve. The pair appeared in the door instantly, The Turks right behind them.

Tifa's appearance took them all by surprise. Reno sat down beside her and rested her head in his lap.

" He cast….this materia called Plague…does….does anyone have some gyshal greens?" Reno croaked as he attempted to remain calm.

" I do…." Yuffie chimed as she reached into her pockets and tossed them over.

"Those are for chocobos…" Elena stated, stupefied as she watched Reno force them into Tifa's mouth.

" Has anyone mastered a restore and a heal materia?"

" I have…" Tseng stated as he stepped forward and placed his hand over her body.

" Which one do you want first?"

" Heal…"

Tseng chanted the spell and watched as the magic resonated within her body. Reno observed her to see if any progress had occurred. Coloration seemed to restore itself slightly and her tremors seemed to lessen as well before coming to a complete stop.

When restore was cast upon her all of her coloration had returned to normal, and the strange film that had formed over her eyes dissipated as well.

" Tifa…can you hear us or see us?"

She groaned an inaudible reply which Reno took to be a yes.

Reno then looked down to her as he uttered the word " Life."

As the spell took hold, Tifa's body jolted slightly. All of her lesions and other ailing symptoms disappeared. She then fell into a deep sleep from pure exhaustion.

Reno sighed with relief as he looked to her then the others. Vincent then removed his cape and draped it over her sleeping form.

" Reno you're covered with…" Rude started.

" I know…"

" My hands are unclean…but it was worth it…they can't get anymore soiled then they already are…"

Reno then looked to Tseng and Yuffie cradling Tifa in his arms as he brought himself to stand.

" Let's leave this hell hole." Yuffie announced.

As everyone exited the house, Rude dropped his black duffel bag on the floor in the middle room. Once everyone was safe by their vehicles he handed a detonator to Reno and smiled.

" Shinra technology..."

Reno then pressed the button as he watch the house explode into nothing but fireworks and splinters.

" At its finest..." He finished.

TO BE CONTINUED…
