"Take
that!"
An
ice spell appeared and hit an ancient soldier. But the barrier spell around him
protected him from that hit. The ancient soldier immediately counter attacked
Elena with a fire spell.
"Ah!!!"
Elena
shouted when the fireball hit her. She fell onto the ground but quickly
scrambled up. The ancient soldier was now ready to cast a second spell.
Suddenly,
someone appeared in front of the ancient soldier. That 'someone' hit the
ancient soldier three times in the face and the ancient soldier went out cold.
"You
okay?"
The
man who saved Elena asked. It was Rude. Elena shook her head. Suddenly a
lightning struck Rude.
"Rude!"
Elena
cried out and cast a cure spell at Rude. Rude that was almost killed by that
lightning spell was healed and he immediately rushed towards the ancient
soldier who cast that spell and attacked him.
Rude
hit that ancient soldier in the chest once and did an uppercut. It sent the
ancient soldier flying away and in a while the ancient soldier was nowhere to
be seen.
"Argg!!!"
A
loud cry came from behind Elena. Elena turned her head and saw a Shinra soldier
turned into charcoal.
"Rude!
Behind you!" Elena shouted and pointed behind Rude.
Rude
didn't even bother to look and swept behind him with a roundhouse kick. A cry
was heard. Rude just killed another ancient soldier.
Although
Rude looked like he could handle the situation, but here was too a few of them
left. A lot of the Shinra soldiers were killed and the ancient soldier kept on
coming. The Shinra army's guns won't do
much damage against the ancient soldiers. They could only engage them in hand
to hand combat. They were in a very grave situation.
Two
more lightning bolts struck down at Rude but Rude dodged the attacks
skillfully. But suddenly a third lightning bolt came down and struck Rude's
right leg. Rude fell onto the floor and attempted to cast a cure spell to cure
himself. But then he saw the materia in one of the ancient soldier's hand
glowing. In any second now, he is going to die.
A
shadow suddenly swift passed the ancient soldier that was going to kill Rude.
The materia on the ancient's hand stopped glowing. The ancient soldier then
fell onto the floor, dead.
"Let's
rock!"
A
shouted was heard and then followed by gunshots. Rude and Elena gazed into the
direction of that shout. The Avalanche was here. Reno was leading them here.
Now, they don't need to die.
Rude
then looked at the figure. It was Vincent. But this time his gun wasn't in his
hand. Instead, his metallic claw was stained with blood.
The
ancient soldiers were now not that advantageous anymore. The Avalanche showed
up and that means they will have a hard time defeating them. The member of the
Avalanche rushed towards their enemies and engaged them hand to hand.
"Take
dat!" Barret slammed an ancient soldier with his gunarm. The ancient soldier
tried to pull himself up but he was immediately hit by Barret another time.
"What
is the situation of the other sectors?!" Red XIII shouted after defeating an
ancient soldier.
The
fighting stopped. All ancient soldier here were either knocked out cold or
killed. Everybody in the area gathered around.
"All
of them failed to defend their positions. There is only us left." Elena
answered.
"What?!"
Barret shouted.
"I
believed that they already blocked all exits." Rude said.
"So…you
mean…no way out?" Tifa asked.
"We
could use the path where we come from." Vincent suggested.
"I
know. But they probably already have a blockade there already." Red XIII
answered.
"We
just can't sit here waiting to be surrounded, right?" Cait Sith cried out.
"Da
hell I bother wit them! I say we just blast our way out!" Barret said.
"It
wouldn't be wise to do that. Who know we will meet an army of the black ancient
soldier out there." Red XIII protested Barret's idea.
"I
say we fight our way out through sector 1. I believe that we still have men
there."
Everybody
turned their heads to look for the speaker. It was a young Shinra soldier who
gave the idea.
"How
did you know about that?" Reno asked.
"You
see, they attacked from the south right? Since sector 1 is on the north side of
Midgar, they will probably attack there last. Another thing is, we receive
reports from all sectors that they were under attack except for sector 1. So, I
say we go through that way." The Shinra soldier explained his idea.
"You
sure about this?" Reno asked doubtfully.
The
Shinra soldier looked at everybody.
"It
is worth a try, right? If we stay here any longer we will be killed sooner or
later." The Shinra soldier trying to convince everybody.
Everybody
looked at each other. They don't know whether the words of this Shinra soldier
could be trusted.
"What
this soldier said make sense. I saw how the Shinra soldiers lay their defenses
in sector 1. Sector 1 was covered with debris. The Shinra soldier could make
use of that to hide. Even if the ancient soldiers came in a big group, they
will have a bad time penetrating their defenses." Red XIII added.
"So
that's it. Off to Sector 1 we go." Aeris said.
"Let's
go!" the Shinra soldier shouted and lead everybody towards sector 1.
Everybody
followed the young Shinra soldier from the back. They only hope to get out of
Midgar as fast as possible. If they survive, they might still have a chance to
stand against this powerful ancient army.
At
the last of the line was Vincent. He kept on observing that young Shinra
soldier.
"What's
wrong, Vincent?" Tifa that was in front of Vincent asked him.
"I
don't trust that kid." Vincent spoke with a soft voice.
