Chapter 21
"Wow, I never imagined it was him. I saw tension in him, but I was thinking that was from training. So, he is Wutaineese? What a coincidence." Sephiroth was talking to Vincent in the lobby of headquarter.
"I know, it's a shock," Vincent pulled up a cadets file on his laptop, "Kyoko Kasami, assassin for the Wutai government, how ruthless, sending a boy to do a man's job. It's impressive that he was accepted into the SOLDIER training; I believe Kyoko knew Tseng, not very well at least. You should know of Tseng's origin correct?" Sephiroth replied with a curt nod
"Kyoko must have taken part in the attack on Shin-Ra HQ a little while ago right? I can't believe I couldn't see it. I need to tell Zack immediately, thank you Vincent for your time." Sephiroth turned to leave in search of Zack
"This will change your life" Vincent said softly, barely above a whisper
Sephiroth stopped walking and bowed his head, "I am aware, it must be done." he continued on his way leaving Vincent to his thoughts
The intercom beeped, "Vincent, get in the conference room immediately." Vincent sighed and gathered his belongings and obeyed orders.
He approached the conference room and found a very angry president perched on the table with a mellow Turk beside him.
"We are under attack, this time it is full force. Assassins are swarming the building and they are looking for Professor Gast's journal, do you know where it is?" Tseng asked in need of a quick answer
"I think I might know a little. I will find it for you." Vincent said respectfully
"Take Reno and Rude with you, the more the merrier. Please hurry, when you get a lead, phone in."
Reno and Rude followed Vincent through the halls cautiously. "So Vince, what's the lowdown? What is in this journal?" Reno asked
"It's a book with journal entries about Gast's' previous finding in his experiments, very important to Hojo, or so he claims. It has something to do with mako and the Jenova project, I'm not quite sure though, I've never actually read it, besides, I heard it's quite a bore, anyway." Reno shrugged as they entered a familiar hall.
Loud noises got the attention of the three as they slowly approached, "Get ready boys." Two ninja's fell from the ceiling ready to attack, "this one's gonna be big."

The mad scientist rummaged thought his lab in search of something, something that he would never find.
"Damn it! Where did it go! I put it here, but, who moved it?" Hojo walked frantically around the room worried about the journal. It seemed he knew exactly what would happed if Wutai got a hold of it. He wiped the sweat building on his brow and continued his search. He walked up to his desk and saw a vial of HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) spilled on several papers.
"Interesting, the only person in this room today has been pathetic assistance and," he paused with urgency, "Sephiroth." He shot for the door in search of someone he might never find.

Daggers flew through the air as Reno quickly ducked to the ground. Recoiling, Reno stood to his feet and began defending and avoiding the countless attacks the ninja threw at him, not getting a hit otherwise.
Rude prepared his stance as the counterpart ninja began to advance him. As Rude began to punch the enemy, the ninja, recovered from the intense fighting with Reno, jumped up and used Rude's shoulders as a base and flipped over him, kicking him full force in his chest. Rude collapsed to the floor in need of air.
Reno ran to the ninjas and pulled out his new weapon, the Electro Rod. Luckily, one of the enemies fell to the ground, semi paralyzed. Reno stood back as it was Vincent's turn.
He pulled out his gun and aimed it at the remaining opponent. A quick pull of the trigger would take care of them, like he hopped for. A gun released a bullet, but it hit something that was not intended.
Thump…a limp body fell discreetly to the floor.
Reno cried out, but it was too late. The once paralyzed ninja stood on his feet. Out of pure anger, Reno swiftly ran to his target and knocked him out with a kick to the temple. Rude climbed atop the other and broke his neck. Successfully the ninjas were defeated, but there stood a man with a smoking gun, and a devilish sneer gracing his face. The man cocked his gun one more time, and a shot rang through the now darkened hall.
