A Dark Day for Shinra
Reality had returned to normal for the group, who had finally stopped training and gone back to their normal everyday lives. Three months had passed since the last incident with Sephiroth and Tyler. Barret had gone back to Corel. Cloud was building a house out near the chocobo farm for himself and Tifa. Red was in Cosmo Canyon going over his studies. Yuffie was hunting for materia in Wutai and the surrounding area. Vincent had stalked away to some sucluded place to live with his tormenting dreams. Reeve was working in the New Shinra building, helping to rebuild Midgar.
Cloud nailed on the last piece of the rough. He wiped the sweat from his brow and surveyed his work. "Finally, I thought I'd never finish." He said to himself.
"Lookin good." Tifa half yelled from the ground.
Cloud turned suddenly, surprised that Tifa had been watching, and lost his footing. He slid down the house and fell off the newly built rough, landing on the ground with a thump. He looked up at Tifa's worried face and smiled. They both began to laugh and Tifa helped Cloud to his feet. He scratched the back of his head and looked up at their house.
"I guess we're done." He said, circling his arm around Tifa's waist.
"'Bout time." She said, smiling at Cloud.
"Ahhh come on. Didn't take me that long." He looked around the tranquil place and admired the amazing things nature could do. It seemed like forever ago when they had been fighting Sephiroth.
"Now, let's go see what I've been doing on the inside." Tifa said, taking his hand and leading him into the house. The furnishings of the house were not extrodinary nor overly extravagant. They had decided to keep things nice and simple.
Cloud flopped down on the bed. Tifa looked at him, trying to get angry at him.
"You gotta go take a shower first." She said, trying her hardest to sound stern. "You don't want to stink up our new house do you?"
"Of course not." He replied sheepishly.
Five minutes later they both lay on the bed. The sun was just barely setting outside.
"I wonder how the others are doing?" Tifa asked aloud.
"They're probably all fine."
"Yea, you're right."
"You really need to stop worrying so much Tifa."
"You're right." She said pulling the covers over them.

"Mayor Barret, Mayor Barret."
"Goddamnit stop callin me that."
"I'm sorry sir, but we just got an urgent messege sent down from the Gold Saucer. They say some silver haired man is causing some trouble up there." The messenger spurted out.
"Ahh Sh-"
"They say he has a huge sword, but calls himself Tyler, not Sephiroth."
"Everything was going so well..." He jumped out from behind his desk and grabbed his materia and bounded over to the rail station. They let him through without paying and immedietly started the lift when he got on.
When he got out of the rail car he stood face to face with the Sephiroth clone. "You git yer goddamned ass outta here b'for I force ya out."
"Ahh, Barret, so nice to see you too." He said politely.
"I said git."
"Yes, yes, I heard you the first time. And I'll gladly go if you would kindly escort me."
Barret spat at the clone and grabbed him by the shirt collar, dragging him into the rail car. "If you try anythin I'll blast yer head off." Barret said, aiming his gun arm at Tyler's head.
"Why would I try anything? Don't you trust me?"
"'Cause ya jist would." He retorted.
They got out of the rail car and Barret walked him out of New Corel. He watched as Tyler walked away into the distance.
"What the hell was that all about?" He wondered to himself. Then he turned around and admired how nicely the city was coming along. More people had been moving into New Corel since they had redone the place. Lots of the people that went homeless when Meteor hit had come here. Barret went back to his office and looked around.
"Damn, how'd they git me to be mayor anyway." He sighed and slumped into his chair. "I HATE paperwork." He muttered as he started reading through the huge stack of papers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The space station is almost complete sir."
"Thank you for the report."
"Yessir."
"You're dismissed." The leader of Ginku sat in his desk smoking a cigar. Won't be long now till we have the power to toppal Shinra. That station will be the catalyst for my android project. Then we'll see who's the best. Not even AVALANCHE or Sephiroth can stop me then.
"Excuse me Mr. Ginku?"
"Yes what is it?"
"We've just found someone who says she would like to help us. Says her name is Tirla. She has some kind of special power, can move things with her mind she can. Telekinetic I s'pose."
"Hummm, interesting. We could use her to help build the station." He smiled to himself.
"Yessir, she volunteered for that."
"Good, good. Send her up to the station. It seems Shinra will be having problems much sooner than anticipated."
(((R&R!!! Plot twist here. This is what the next few chapters will be over... So tell me what you think!)))
