After Meteor: Rise from the Ashes
The shot rung out and was heard on the 40th floor. Barret was distracted and lowered his gun for just a moment. That moment was long enough for Hojo to push the button on Device. An earth-shattering rumble shook the building as stuff went everywhere as AVALANCHE lost their balance and toppled onto one another in one giant dogpile. Hojo stood in the doorway, grinning, his face eerily lit by the dim light. He cackled evilly and left.
"Shit! WEAPON is coming!" cried Biggs.
"Not if I can help it…" said Cloud as he got up and rushed out the door and into the hallway. Hojo had just run around the corner and Cloud followed him. He soon caught up to Hojo, being younger than Hojo and slid in front of him. "Not so fast…"
"Oooh, I am SOO scared." sneered Hojo sarcastically. The rumble grew louder and was felt more intensely. Cloud made a grab for Device, but Hojo easily evaded and threw a ball containing a pink liquid on the ground. A large white cloud engulfed the two and Hojo fled the opposite direction as Cloud coughed in the dust. Hojo was soon stopped as Jessie plowed right into him. Device went flying over Jessie's head and landed at Cid's feet. Cid picked it up and hit the 'off' button and the rumbling stopped.
"Damn you!" cursed Hojo. He pushed Jessie out of the way and dove for Cid, but Cid took out his Dragoon Lance and speared Hojo right through the heart. Blood went everywhere as Hojo's lifeless body slid to the floor.
"Wow, nice going, Cid!" complemented Jessie as she got up and brushed herself off. She turned to Cait. "Reeve, where are you now?"
"I'm outside Midgar. You got Device just in time, I see the WEAPON's on the horizon now." Cait answered.
"Well, let's blow this Popsicle stand and blow up ShinRa!" cried Barret.
"What was that gunshot anyhow?" asked Tifa.
"Who the hell cares, let's go!"
AVALANCHE tore through the lobby and outside to where their chocobos were waiting, tied to some railing. Each member untied and mounted their respective chocobos and headed for the outskirts of Midgar. Once there, they saw Reeve and waved to him.
"Glad you made it. I hope you won't get mad if we destroy Midgar again…" Cloud said to him.
"No, actually, I'd be glad. I probably shouldn't have even tried to rebuild it. Go right ahead."
Cid took Device from his coat pocket.
"Wait Cid. If you hit that button now, WEAPON is going to trample us. Let's watch the show from Kalm." noted Jessie. Reeve climbed up onto Cait's chocobo and they rode off to Kalm.
Back in Kalm, the group of 11 chocobos and their riders came into town and rode over to the Kalm Rent-a-Chocobo. After that was done, they all went up to the clock tower to get a better glimpse of the re-destruction of Midgar and ShinRa.
"Okay Cid, press it." Barret told Cid. Cid pressed the button and the WEAPONs came alive once again and proceeded to advance toward Midgar. The earth rumbled violently as all of the WEAPONs slammed head on into the city.
After the WEAPONs have done their duty and the ShinRa building had been reduced to rubble once again, Cid set the coordinates on Device for the ocean canyon and pressed the button. The WEAPONs slowly walked into the ocean, where they disappeared beneath the waves.
