Here it is. The fifth installment of what I like to call 'My Reno Series'…anyway. Yes, this follows on from 'Mission Accepted' I guess I'm kinda putting one Turk mission per part…which is okay, cos the damn things usually turn out to be about 11/12 Word document pages long, with one mission. That's pretty long…mind you, I do tend to waffle a bit. And for that, I am sorry. I just get so carried away…
Ahem. Sorry. I think I shall begin now. Ciao!

The Pillar Incident.
Tseng only disciplined Reno a little for his botch-up kidnapping of Aeris…much to his disappointment. And they were having slight difficulties in their relationship.
"Reno, I did tell you, just before…why don't you ever listen to me?!" Tseng cried, on one fine evening. The two were laxing out in their room together, about to watch TV. Reno was kneeling on his side of the bed, Tseng was lying back on his side, arms behind his head. (Yeah, they traded their single beds in for a double.)
"Tseng, I honestly don't recall you telling me that MFV (Midgar's Funniest Videos) was on! I would have remembered!" Reno protested. He looked at Tseng, and could see his mouth moving, but didn't hear anything coming out. Not that it mattered to Reno, for he was quite content with memorizing every inch of his lover's gorgeous face.
"RENO!" Tseng yelled. That got the redhead's attention.
"Mmm?" he mumbled. Tseng sighed.
"What were you doing just now?" he asked. Reno sighed.
"Looking at you…" he replied. Tseng grinned.
"So that's why you never hear me! You're too busy ogling me!" he exclaimed. Reno chuckled.
"Yup. Can we watch MFV now? I love those damn videos…" he said. Tseng nodded, as Reno curled up in his lap with a contented sigh, and kissed Tseng's cheek. Tseng turned the TV on, and Reno voiced his thanks with a passionate kiss, before snuggling into the warmth of his lover's body and watching the carnage on the TV with a sadistic smile. Tseng kissed the top of his head, while stroking his hair, undoing the hair-tie and letting the unruly mop of redness roam free.
"Ha, ha, ha! Look at that idiot!" Reno giggled, as a man on the TV rode a Chocobo upside-down, his head dragging on the ground. Tseng laughed along with Reno, although he didn't really know how the redhead could find other's people's pain amusing.
Just then, Tseng saw what he had been waiting for. While Reno hadn't been looking, Tseng had sent in a video of them both at the last staff party…after they were kinda smashed. On the screen was Reno, who was wearing a long black wig, a long black dress, and fake boobs. Next to him, was Tseng, who had a moustache. They were both singing loudly and out of tune, to 'I got you babe' by Sonny and Cher.
"Tseng!" Reno exclaimed, looking at his lover in shock. Tseng just grinned.
"…Surprise?" he said. Reno burst out laughing.
"This is great! I'm famous! I can't wait to see the look on Rude's face!" He exclaimed, kissing Tseng. "Thanks, babe! You're the greatest!"
The door swung open.
Rude and Rufus stood there, grins on their faces.
"Well, it was funny the first time…and even better on national television!" Rufus exclaimed. Rude nodded.
"Yeah, that was funny…good idea, Tseng" he said. Rufus grabbed Rude's jacket sleeve.
"Come on, Rude. I want to go finish watching the program" Rufus said, and the two waved goodbye.
Reno looked at Tseng.
Tseng looked at Reno.
"What should we do now, lover-boy?" Reno asked huskily. Tseng shrugged.
"Gee…I wonder…" he said, before pouncing on Reno, and wrestling him to the bed. He kissed him hard, while unbuttoning his shirt. Reno took the liberty of removing Tseng's clothes, as the Asian Turk did the same for him. Tseng began teasing Reno's nipples, causing the younger man to cry out.
"Nnnh, good…" Reno murmured, arching up against his lover's touch. Tseng's hands expertly ran their course over Reno's tingling skin. Reno let out a loud gasp as those hands came into contact with his arousal, stroking gently.
"Tseng…" Reno choked out. His lover grinned.
"We've only just begun…" he whispered.
~ * ~
Morning came, (as did Reno and Tseng…~ snicker ~) and they were all situated in Tseng's office once more, discussing the strategy for their next mission.
"Rude, you'll be doing the reconnaissance, okay? I need to know where the Ancient is, so you'll be in charge of locating her, and then keeping an eye on her. I'll grab the Ancient, then meet up with Reno, who'll be in charge of activating the Emergency Plate Release System. Reno, once you're done, just jump into my chopper. I'll be waiting below, ready to grab you" Tseng said, as they all snickered.
"Yeah babe, I'm sure you will be…but what about Rufus?" Reno asked, jerking a thumb towards the VP. Rufus smiled and waved. Tseng paled.
"Oh…sorry, I'd forgotten about you, Rufus…" Tseng said apologetically. Rufus pouted. "Don't worry, I'll get Elena to look after you, okay?" Rufus pouted again.
"A girl?" he whined. Tseng nodded.
"Well it's either that or a straight man. Besides, she's a well-qualified bodyguard" he said. Rufus frowned.
"You're straight?!" he asked of Rude, who nodded.
"Yup." He replied. Rufus looked puzzled.
"Why are you and Reno so cuddly, then?" he asked. Tseng, Reno and Rude all laughed.
"We're like…brothers. Not literally, but Rude helped raise me from infancy. I've known him for all my 21 years!" Reno said, grinning at Rude, who returned it. Tseng grinned too, but at the VP.
"Wanna know something else?" he asked. Rufus cocked his head to one side.
"What…?" he asked slowly. Tseng put an arm around Rude and Reno.
"We all grew up in the same orphanage!" he exclaimed. Rufus' jaw dropped in shock.
"Wow…" was all he could manage. Reno looked thoughtful.
"Which reminds me…we must go visit Davis some time…" he said. Rude and Tseng mumbled their agreement.
"But right now, we need to concentrate on the mission…we assemble at the helipad in about ten minutes, alright? Go get organized" he commanded, standing up and dragging Reno to their room. He looked at Reno's rumpled Turk uniform and sighed.
"Don't you have any other suits? One that isn't all mussed?" he asked. Reno grinned.
"Well, yes…but, it won't make any difference. As soon as I put it on, it'll look the same" he said. Tseng didn't look convinced. Reno sighed.
"Fine, I'll prove it…" he said, trudging over to his closet and changing suits. He turned to look at Tseng once he was done. Tseng had a look of disbelief on his face.
"I don't believe it…" he muttered. "That was a perfect suit, no creases…nothing!" Reno sneered.
"Told ya so…" he said. His suit was still in a state of disarray. Tseng flung his hands up in frustration.
"I give up! Come on, let's go prepare ourselves for the mission, okay?" he said, and strode out of the room, Reno in tow.

* At the Helipad *
"Elena, you'd better take good care of Rufus…I don't wanna hear any complaints from him, alright?" Reno said. Elena gulped.
"Yes, Reno…don't worry. I'll take really good care of him…" she said. The VP snorted.
"Will you all quit talking about me like that?! I'm right here!, Geez, it's like you're talking about babysitting a two-year-old, not a 22-year-old!" he exclaimed. Reno opened his mouth to make a snide remark, but shut it quickly.
"Too easy" he said. Tseng grabbed him and pulled him over to his helicopter.
"Go" he commanded. Reno grinned, before kissing Tseng deeply. A shocked gasp came from behind them, and they spun to see Elena gaping at them. Reno and Tseng sighed.
"First Miho, now Elena…alright, who's next? Who wants to fall in love with the gay guys, huh?" Reno asked, rolling his eyes.
"Y-you're gay, Tseng?!" Elena stuttered. Tseng nodded.
"Y-yes I'm g-gay, Elena" he said nastily. The blonde's eyes teared up, but she held her ground. Tseng turned back to Reno.
"Good luck Reno…catch you later" he said. Reno grinned.
"Literally…" he said. The three male Turks split up into three different helicopters, and left to do their part of the mission.
~ * ~
Rude leapt from the helicopter, intent on finding the whereabouts of the Ancient. He was walking through the Train Graveyard, when he spotted the Ancient, a blonde guy with a big sword…and the most beautiful girl he'd ever laid eyes on. She had long, chocolate-brown hair, an angelic face and a great body.
She's beautiful…her breasts are a little too big…but I don't mind. She's perfect…oh, but she'd never want me! She's probably already with that blonde jerk! Rude thought, his fragile heart deflating at the thought.
I can dream, I guess…
He crept along behind them, hiding behind random piles of junk when they looked behind them. Once they had reached Sector Seven, right outside the Pillar where Reno was soon to be, Rude paused and eavesdropped. The Ancient was told to find a little girl…
"Don't worry, I'll put her somewhere safe…" the Ancient declared to the brown-haired beauty…Tifa.
So her name is Tifa…what a pretty name…oh! I need to contact Tseng! He thought, rushing from the scene, and pulling out his communicator.
"Tseng. Its Rude." He said.
"Rude? Have you got the location of the Ancient?" Tseng's voice queried.
"Yes, sir. She's headed for Tifa's bar, Seventh Heaven, which is in Sector Seven, to retrieve a little girl called Marlene. She said she would put her somewhere safe…" Rude said.
"Good work, Rude. Now retreat from that area, it's too dangerous!" Tseng commanded. Rude closed off the communicator and ran back to his helicopter.
Mission accomplished…I hope Tifa makes it out okay…
~ * ~
Tseng intercepted Aeris as she was on her way to hide Marlene at her house.
"Hello, Aeris…" Tseng said. Aeris gasped, and spun around.
"Flower Lady?! Who's this man?" Marlene asked. Aeris patted her head.
"Don't worry yourself about him, Marlene. He's no-one you want to know…" she said kindly, casting a scalding glare towards the Turk. Tseng smiled sweetly.
"Aeris…we've known each other for a long time…don't be like that" he said. It was true, too…Tseng and Aeris used to play together, way back when Aeris' mother, Ifalna was still alive. But after Ifalna died, and Tseng's parents were killed by a bunch of thugs…Tseng went to the Orphanage, and Aeris, of course, got taken in by Elmyra.
"Tseng, you've changed for the worst. I don't want to have anything to do with you!" she cried. Tseng pouted.
"Well, that's a shame…oh, and Aeris?" he said.
"What…?"
"Either you come with me, or I take the girl. You choose…" he said. Aeris became enraged.
"How dare you?! How can I choose?…Fine. I'll go with you. Just let me take Marlene to my mom's place, please?" Aeris begged. Tseng shrugged.
"Fine with me, but I'll be following you…" he said. They walked to Elmyra's house, where mother and daughter parted ways. There were tears, and promises. Tseng merely stood in the corner, and sighed.
"You finished yet?" he asked, and both women glared at him. He sighed again. "Look. I've got things to do. Important things. You're coming with me now, Aeris." He said, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her out to his waiting helicopter.
I hope Reno's okay…
~ * ~
Reno grinned as he watched the big black guy with a gun for an arm fire wildly at his chopper. The helicopter pilot nodded at him, as they swung around for the drop. They were dropping something very important…Reno.
"Here they come!" the silicon-clad female cried, as Reno jumped from the platform on the helicopter. He landed gracefully, and rushed over to the control panel, as the dumb gun-arm guy shot at the helicopter instead of him. He reached the panel, just as the three idiots on the pillar ran to observe him. Reno turned to look at Cloud with a maniacal grin.
"You're too late. Once I push this button…" he trailed off, pushing the big button. "…That's all folks! Mission accomplished." He finished with a laugh.
"We have to disarm it! Cloud! Barret! Please!" the brunette exclaimed. Reno frowned.
"I can't let you do that. No one get in the way of Reno and the Turks…" he said coldly, beginning the battle.
Hmm…three on one, not good odds. I'll use Pyramid on that Cloud guy…heh-heh…Reno thought, and did so. Cloud was now trapped in a yellow pyramid of light.
"See if you can break it." Reno said, as he began to battle the other two. The brunette attacked the pyramid, and it faded, releasing Cloud from its confines. To counter-attack, Reno cast Pyramid on that annoying Barret guy. Cloud reached his limit break, and used Braver on Reno, followed by the brunette, who used Beat Rush. Reno was mad, and began to use Electro-Mag Rod on everyone. His opponents cast Bolt and Ice on him, as well as using their powerful limit breaks, and Reno could feel himself weakening. He heard his signal to leave…the comforting hum of helicopter blades.
Tseng…he thought.
"It's time." He said, saluting them mockingly, and running for the edge of the pillar. He deliberately brushed past the brunette female, sending her into a spin, before he jumped off the edge, stifling the urge to yell 'Geronimo!"
He fell quickly, and felt two strong arms wrap around him, and gently lay him inside the helicopter.
"Tseng…" Reno whispered, his vision fading. He was hurt worse than he thought…
"Reno! Oh, no…you're hurt bad…" Tseng cried, panicking slightly. He knelt at Reno's side, wiping his bloodied face with a handkerchief. Reno heard a female voice in the background.
"Tseng…you care about him, don't you?" the voice asked. Reno felt a tear drip onto his face, and he attempted to wipe it away, before having his arm shoved back down.
"No, you're not moving, Reno…just try and rest, I have things to attend to" he said, his voice cracking. The female voice appeared again, and Reno recognised it as Aeris' voice.
"I knew it…you do care for him…that's so sweet" she whispered. Reno heard the faint 'yes' from Tseng, before he passed out.
~ * ~
Tseng wiped away the annoying salty droplets from his face, before dragging Aeris out onto the platform on the side of the chopper.
"Don't move" he told her, signaling the pilot to rise upwards.
"It's not a normal time bomb…" he heard as he rose in sight of the meddling AVALANCHE members.
"That's right. You'll have a hard time disarming that one. It'll blow the second some stupid jerk touches it." Tseng snapped. He was in a very bad mood. A brunette looked at him pleadingly.
"Please, stop it!" she cried. Tseng's eyes narrowed.
These are the people who injured Reno…I hope they don't make it out of here…Tseng thought angrily. Nobody hurts my Reno like that!
"Ha ha ha…Only a Shinra Executive can set up or disarm the Emergency Plate Release System" he said happily. The large black man pointed his gun-arm at Tseng.
"Shut yer hole!" he exclaimed, shooting wildly.
Neanderthal…Tseng thought disgustedly.
"I wouldn't try that…you just might make me injure our special guest." He said, pointing to the crouched form of Aeris. The pink girl lifted her head, and the brunette gasped.
"Aeris!!" she cried. Tseng looked at the Ancient.
"Oh, you know each other? How nice you could see each other one last time. You should thank me." He said with a smile. The spiky-haired blonde spoke up.
"What are you gonna do with Aeris!?" he exclaimed. Tseng shrugged, acting as if he didn't know.
"I haven't decided. Our orders were to find and capture the last remaining Ancient. It's taken us a long time, but now I can finally report this to the President." He lied. Aeris moved forwards, reaching out to the brunette woman.
"Tifa, don't worry! She's all right!" she cried. Tseng reached over and slapped the pink female.
"I told you not to move!" he whispered.
"Aeris!" Tifa yelped.
"Hurry and get out!" Aeris yelled. Tseng rolled his eyes.
"Ha, ha, ha…Well, it should be starting right about now. Think you can escape in time?" he asked, as his helicopter flew off. Once out of sight, he dragged Aeris back inside, and then attached himself to Reno's side, stroking his hair.
Poor Reno…you'll get your chance for revenge…I have a feeling that we'll see those three again…
End of Part Five.
Look out for Part Six: The Dawning of a
New Era.
YEEEHAW! I am so good!! YEAH YEAAH UEHAEJAJYEKMKJJRL!!!
Sorry. But I'm happy to have gotten this far.
I mean, I
thought it would only be a three-part series. BUT NOW IT'S FIVE! And there's more to come, too. Hmm, I have a feeling it'll be about eight
or nine parts by the time I'm finished.
OH DEAR GOD
THAT'S A LOTTA WORK!!
Anyway, I know that there is a large age
difference between Tseng and Aeris in the actual game, and not in this fanfic,
but you know…I DON'T CARE! I had to do something my own way, and I like it
better the way I've done it. I don't
care if you don't think so. That's your
opinion. It's my fanfic, not
yours. You wanna make something
different, THEN WRITE YOUR OWN BLOODY FANFIC!!
Okay, I've
rambled on enough now. Time for
Teletubbies!!…uh, I mean, time to go. ~ Wannon-chan ~
