BONUS CHAPTER 3
Pyrrha and Zack were facing each other in the training room. After spending some time talking, they decided to have a sparring match to test their strength. They haven't done it too often and given how rare any free time was in SHINRA, they should take advantage of it while they can. Pyrrha had her sword and shield ready to go, while Zack spun around his buster sword with the same confident smirk he always had. Pyrrha always liked that about him. Zack was confident, but not arrogant, and never let it go to his head. He took every fight seriously, even if he didn't show it.
"Alright sis. I hope you are ready for this. And don't get mad when I win" Zack said.
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch Zack. I am not going down that easy" Pyrrha said as she got ready to fight.
Zack did the same "Just so you know, I won't hold back".
"I would be insulted if you did" Pyrrha said, before the battle began.
Zack charged forward. He thrust his blade forward, its girth and size acting almost as a barrier. As the blade sliced and grinden against the metal floor, Pyrrha instinctively raised her shield. The two tools collided, letting loose a metallic ring all throughout the training room. Pyrrha recovered his footing first, and raised her blade for a counter attack. Zack blocked the strike but was sent back by a shield bash to his chest. He only smirked, knowing full well that his sister from another mister was not going to be taken down that easily.
Zack charges at Pyrrha and tries to swing his Buster Sword, but Pyrrha blocks with her own Sword. Zack is sent backwards, while Pyrrha is sent into the air. While in the air, Pyrrha throws her shield at Zacl, who deflects it with his sword and Pyrrha used her semblance to pull it back to her. Zack then jumps into the air, performs a flip and smashes his Buster Sword into the floor, causing a shock wave to go straight at Pyrrha, who blocks the attack with her shield, but gets launched back. Zack charges at Pyrrha who recovers and does the same. They both swing at each other, each strike being either blocked or deflected. Zack uses a swift slash on Pyrrha who blocks with her shield and on the last swing she rolls under Zack.
Pyrrha strikes at Zack with a swift kick, Zack is sent flying back. Zack uses some Fire Materia and fires multiple fire balls at Pyrrha, who runs and blocks them with her shield. Then Pyrrha jumps and performs a spinning attack, deflecting the Materia and strikes ast Zack who retaliates with a powerful strike that send Pyrrha futher in to the air. Zack jumps into the air after her and strikes at Pyrrha from above. Pyrrha uses her Sword to block the strike and was sent back to the floor, landing on her feet like a cat.
Zack landed too and smirked "Still able to keep going? Or should we call it quits now?".
"I am far from finished, brother" Pyrrha said with a smile.
"Good, because I was just starting to have fun!" Zack said as he got ready to continue.
Zack charges at Pyrrha, who gets ready to meet his charge with a strong defense. Once Zack is close enough, she blocks his strike with her shield, and counters with a sword sing that Zack barely avoided, only to be caught of guard by a kick to the chest that sent him sliding back. Zack charges back in to the fight with another strong swing, but Pyrrha dodges and throws her shield like a dangerous frisbee, leaving her mostly defenseless for a moment as Zack was able to dodge it and to deliver a series of sword strikes on her. Zack then proceeds to deliver and overhead strike and Pyrrha attempts to counter with her sword, and managed to knock the Buster Sword to the side. Zack eventually performs a mighty upswing, knocking Pyrrha back and is forced on the defence as Zack delivers blow after blow on her sword.
But Pyrrha had a plan and managed to use her semblance to bring her shield back, hitting Zack in the back of the head. Giving Pyrrha the opening she needed to kick his legs out from under him and put her sword to his neck. She smiled down at him, knowing full well she had won. And Zack knew it too as he laid down in defeat.
"Alright, you got me" He said in a defeated tone.
Pyrrha puts her sword and shield away before offering Zack a hand up, which he accepted "You gave me quite the work out there Zack, as expected".
Zack smiled at that "I almost had you there for a moment. Next time I will see through all your tricks".
"Then I will have to think of new ones. But now I could use a shower, I really worked up a sweat" Pyrrha said.
"Same here, but next time we have a day of, we will settle our scroes" Zack declared.
Pyrrha chuckled "Looking forward to it. See you soon Zack".
"See ya sis!" Zack replied as they went their separate ways.
Soon enough Pyrrha was in the women's shower room, and believing no one could hear her she began to sing one of her favorite songs, she even began dancing a little "Baby, it's time to make up your mind! I think that tonight is when our stars align! Honey, it's time to leave the doubt behind. Take my hand 'cause you and I are gonna shine".
But she forgot she was on a wet and slippery floor and ended up slipping and falling on her butt.
"Ow! Note to self: No shower dancing" Pyrrha said she stood up, rubbing her butt a little. It was clear she had to finish up and get back to her room.
When she was done, she wrapped a towel around her body and stepped out of the showers. She was about to get dressed until she remembered something that made her face palm hard. She forgot she put her sweaty clothes in a laundry basket and one of the workers must have taken it. Pyrrha cursed herself for being so stupid that she didn't think of bringing some extra clothes, and her phone was in her room so she couldn't call anyone to bring her some clothes. Now she was in quite a pickle.
She thought about her options before deciding to take the risk and walk back to her room in only her towel. Her room was not that far away and hardly anyone was around that place. Not to mention it was late so most should either already be in their rooms or the bar. And for privacy reasons, there were no cameras around either. Pyrrha peeked out, checking the corridors clearly to make sure no one was around. Once she was sure of it, she began her very dangerous trip towards her room. She felt so vulnerable walking around in nothing but a towel. Once she neared a corner she looked around it and mentally cursed as she saw two young boys standing there talking.
The boys looked to still be in their teens, 15 at most. And Pyrrha knew for a fact if they saw her they would be starring like hawks. And she was sure they would be hoping her towel would fall of. If that didn't happen, they might try peek under it. Pyrrha's towel ended just below her butt, so even if she tried to hurry past them, they would still get a nice eyeful. Pyrrha had to think of something quickly before they notice her. Then it clicked. They were hearing helmets. Pyrrha held up her hand and used her semblance to spin their helmets around, covering their eyes.
Taking advantage of their sudden blind confusion, Pyrrha quickly ran past them, praying they wouldn't get their helmets of in time to see her butt as her towel was flapping from her running, briefly exposing her. Once Pyrrha was out of eye sight she took a moment to calm her pounding heart. She couldn't handle the thought that two young boys almost saw her in just at towel. But she had to keep going in case more shows up. She dashed down the hallway, her room was not to far now.
But much to her dread, the sound of two more young boys were heard and they were getting closer. Pyrrha looked around in a panic before jumping up and used her arms and legs to stay close to the sealing. She prayed her towel would not fall of. The boys' voices grew louder as they got closer and then passed under her... but then Pyrrha's towel gave out and fell to the floor with a soft but noticeable sound. The boys stopped and turned around, seeing the towel on the floor. Pyrrha panicked as they walked back and one of the boys picked the towel up.
"This is a towel? Where did it come-" The boy began and was about to look up... but Pyrrha quickly jumped down and smashed both the boys heads in to the floor, hard enough to knock them out cold. She did it so fast they didn't even notice what happened.
Pyrrha knew she used a little to much force, but she could not risk them getting an a view of something not meant for their eyes. She quickly put her towel back on and bolted towards her room. She was almost there, just around the corner... but in her hurry, she did not stop to check first and ended up running in to someone. Pyrrha stumbled back but remained standing. She looked up and her face paled.
"Pyrrha?... What are you doing?" Standing in front of her, was Sephiroth.
Pyrrha's face was already growing red as she gulped "S-Sephiroth! I-I can explain!".
"Then explain why you are running around naked" Sephiroth demanded sternly, clearly not amused by what he was seeing.
"It's not what you think! I wasn't streaking! I took a shower and forgot to bring spare clothes. My phone is in the room so I couldn't call for any" Pyrrha explained quickly.
"So your solution was to run around the building naked" Sephiroth said in disapproval.
"W-Well I am not really naked, I am covered up" Pyrrha argued weakly while keeping her legs tightly closed, hoping Sephiroth couldn't see anything "Are you going to report this?".
Sephiroth sighed "Even though I should report such inappropriate behavior. If what you are telling me is true, I will let you of with a warning this time. But make no mistake, Pyrrha Nikos. If this happens again, I will report it".
"Thank you sir" Pyrrha said in some relief.
"Get to your room and put on some clothes, you won't get another warning" Sephiroth ordered.
"Yes sir" Pyrrha said as she walked up to the door to her room, but just as she was about to open, Sephiroth spoke.
"And Pyrrha" He began, making Pyrrha look at him and noticed his smile "You look beautiful in a towel".
Pyrrha blushed bright red and rushed inside her room, and she could hear Sephiroth chuckling outside.
Back in the present time Pyrrha remembered the old times as she was driving down the highway. It was the most embarrassing night of her life, but Sephiroth kept his word and didn't tell anyone about what happened. He never even brought it up in privet. He was such a good man back then... before he changed for the worse.
Pyrrha dreaded the day she might face him again. She hoped that day never came... but she had seen to much to rule out the possibility.
She hoped when the day comes... she would be ready.
