Before I begin I would like to say thank you DevilAngelResa18 for reviewing my story. You are the first one to review it. *Throws confetti and balloons fall from the ceiling.

Chapter 13
It was one hour after this discovery that the Reeve, Barret and Cid arrived back at Seventh Heaven. Cloud explained to them what had happened when they arrived.
"This really is a problem. We don't need a repeat of what happened a couple of years ago with Kadaj and his gang." Reeve said.
"Angela, you have premonitions. Can you see what they're going to do with the materia?" Yuffie asked.
"No. The reason is because it's not definite yet. They don't know what they want to do with it. They are most likely looking for that materia… Cloud out of curiosity, what did Reno want to talk to you about last night?"
"Shinra wanted to know if I would take up their offer on being their hired muscle. Apparently they have noticed these three as well and wanted to hire me to be his hired muscle. I declined their offer." he replied.
Angela nodded and then had a flash in her mind. She saw four people enter the bar and she immediately knew they were Turks. Two she recognized but the third man and a woman she didn't know.
"Angela did you see something?" Kyra asked.
"How many Turks does Shinra have?"
"Four. Why?" asked Tifa.
"A man with long black hair and a woman with blonde hair?"
"Yeah, that's Tseng and Elena." Tifa answered.
"Well, they along with Reno and Rude are going to be coming in here in a few minutes, give or take."
About five minutes later the four Turks entered the bar. Everybody stood up as they entered.
"What do you want?" Cloud asked.
The man with black hair spoke. "We need your assistance. It's the president-"
"He's gone right?"
He looked at Angela. "Yes, but I would like to know how you knew that."
"It's obvious. All four of you are here. He wouldn't send all of you out at the same time. He would keep at least one of you with him for protection."
"Yes." he answered stunned.
"You also want us to help you find him." Angela added.
"This is to creepy." said Reno.
"Your assumptions are correct. Will AVALANCHE help us or not?" Tseng asked.
"Alright, we'll disperse and look throughout Edge." Cloud answered.
"Kyra stay here with the kids. Keep them safe." Angela said.
"Can do. I'll call if anything comes up or if any of them show up."
Angela nodded and followed the group out.
'Man you really shook that Reno guy up back there. Let me really freak him out by making your eyes glow in front of him.'
'I'll think about it.'
Somewhere in on of the construction sites of Edge…
"You know what materia we are searching for. That group didn't have it. Tell us where we can find it." August said.
"I told you. I don't know anything about an ultramateria." replied Shinra.
"You know we have no reason to believe that." Trisha said while brushing the edge of her sword across his upper back and bringing it to a rest on his shoulder near his neck.
"Go ahead and kill me. I have no information that you seek."
"No. If you won't willingly give up the information, maybe someone else will in exchange for your life. Trent, go try out some of our new materia, but don't kill her." August said.
"With pleasure."
Back in the main city of Edge…
'Do you really think you'll find a needle in a haystack this size without me?'
'Forget it Brutality, I'm not releasing you.'
That was when she saw a shift in the sky and knew a summon had been called upon.
'Oh no. Not Bahamut Zero.'
'How about now? Will you release me now?'
'No. I can fight without you.'
Angela didn't have to run far when the other members of AVALANCHE were seen running towards the site, save for Reeve who sent Cait Sith in to fight.
"History really likes to repeat itself doesn't it?" Tifa asked.
"I'm going to kill those three for touching my materia!" yelled Yuffie.
All of them threw themselves into the fight. Red with Cait Sith lunged at the summon with Tifa, Cloud attacked with his sword along with Cid using his spear. Barret used his gun arm along with Vincent using Cerberus shooting at it. Yuffie used her shuriken when she was sure she wouldn't hit her teammates. Angela also shot at it using her revolvers. She noticed Yuffie was about to be blasted by it's magic while she was waiting for an opening to throw her shuriken again. Angela gathered electricity between her hands and shot it at the summon turning its attention onto her.
'Come on and try it.'
The summon lunged at her and at the right moment she jumped on his head and continued to shoot at it. It flew upwards trying to shake her off and she back flipped onto the roof of one of the buildings. She gathered electricity in her hands again and shot it at the summon causing a bigger explosion than the last time, defeating it. She was watching it fall when she spotted Trent run off into the ruins of Midgar. She followed him, hot on his heels.
She found him not to far away on some abandoned buildings with his sword in hand.
"Don't try your premonitions crap. I'll just block those anyway." Trent warned.
Angela unsheathed her sword and waited for Trent to attack. She didn't have to wait long for Trent to lung at her. She quickly went on the defensive trying to figure out his fighting style. Cid's airship appeared at a distance.
"There she is." Cloud said pointing to her.
"Good. I'm glad we found her." said Kyra. She and the kids had been picked up shortly after the fight with Bahamut Zero.
"I've got the materia back, so she can use it with us." Yuffie said.
"She's fighting this one alone." Vincent said.
"Why?" asked Yuffie.
"I believe these three were also experiments of Kraylin, which is why they call her sister. It may help bring some form of closer to her past."
"Vincent's right Yuffie, let Angela fight this one alone." Kyra said. The group continued to watch the fight from the Shera.
Angela continued to be on the defensive until she saw an opening. She spun Trent's sword out of his hands and didn't waste any time on his bewildered expression, and brought her blade across his throat, throwing his blood everywhere on the rooftop. She watched as his body dispersed and returned to the lifestream.
"Oh yeah, she kicks ass!" Yuffie yelled in her excitement.
'She may be a great addition to our group.' Cloud thought.
"Alright, alright calm the hell down." Cid said as he started to make his way towards Angela. The excitement in the airship was short lived.
The next thing Angela knew was she heard a gun shot and felt pain in her arm. She grabbed her arm and turned to see August and a woman.
"How dare you kill our brother." he said as he put his hand gun away.
Angela gathered fire in her hand and just as she casted it, Trisha's bolt magic hit Angela causing an explosion.
"Angelaaaaaaaaa!" cried Kyra.
Angela was floating in the darkness unmoving when she heard that same male voice again.
"Angela, can you ever forgive me?"
'Will you wake up already?'
Angela opened her eyes to the brightness and saw the light was coming from a hole in the ceiling. She also noticed that she was floating in water. She stood herself upright in the small pool and took in her surroundings. It was the ruins of a church with flowers growing everywhere and vines with flowers growing up the old pillars.
"Welcome back to reality."
Angela turned to Kyra's voice and saw the group standing there. She made her was towards them and got out of the water.
"How would you like to be a permanent member of AVALANCHE?" Cloud asked her.
"Angela, I think we should do it." Kyra said.
"We?"
"Yeah. Tifa and Yuffie agreed to teach me how to fight so I'll be able to help."
Angela turned back to Cloud with a small smile and nodded.
"Angela, thanks for saving my ass back there."
"Not a problem Yuffie."
"Angela, how did you use magic when we didn't have materia?" Cloud asked
She held up her hands and electricity began running between them.
"I don't know if I should call this a gift or a curse, but it was a result of the experiments. I can use this, fire and ice without materia. It took me a few years before I could control it."
She then made the current stop running from between her hands and she lowered them.
A few weeks later at Seventh Heaven…
"Angela I have a favor to ask."
"Sure Reeve, what is it?"
"Remember when Cait Sith told you I got your information concerning the materia and that Shelke was researching it?"
"Yeah."
"She didn't find anything and I was wondering-"
"If I would go out and see if I can find any information on it. Yeah, I will. I will also see if I can't find those other two as well."
"Thanks Angela."
Later that day, Angela had finished packing the few bags that she would be taking on her motorcycle instead of taking her trailer. She had been assured by Tifa that she and Yuffie would continue to train Kyra, as well as look after her, and that she would continue school. She said her goodbyes to Kyra and assured her she would be back no later than a year. She exited the bar and started towards her motorcycle.
"Angela."
She turned towards the voice.
"Vincent? What do you want?"
"Please don't go, at least not alone."
"Why?"
"I care about you."
"You have a funny way of showing it. Making a move on me like that and then ignoring me completely." she replied, giving him a cold stare.
Vincent looked down. "I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was feeling at the time and was afraid to show it further."
"Vincent, I understand that you may need a little time because of what happened between you and Lucrecia."
He gave her a questioning look.
"Tifa told me what happened to you Vincent, but I'm sorry. I'm not going to wait around for someone to drag himself from the past and look towards the future."
With that she got on her motorcycle.
"What about you and Damien?"
"Damien will always have a place in my heart Vincent, but he would want me to move on. Goodbye."
'Your being a real fool leaving him like that.'
'I'm not waiting around for him.'
She started her motorcycle and took off. Vincent watched her disappear into the distance.
A/N: Long chapter, I know. Please don't be angry with me, this is not how it ends. I would have gotten this done on Sunday, but I had to work and then afterwards my dad's cousin came over for his birthday and she didn't leave till late. I would have posted this yesterday, but I had school, then I helped my dad and brother-in-law take up some flooring for new to be put down. By the time I was done with this it was late and I really needed to get to bed, I was really tired. I would like to thank DevilAngelResa18 again for reviewing my story. I really do appreciate any reviews any of you other readers out there would leave. You don't have to, but R&R.
