"This
way!"
The
young Shinra soldier shouted and led everyone towards Sector 1.
The
Avalanche, the Turks and the remaining Shinra soldiers followed that young
Shinra soldier. He seemed to know the way very well. He kept on moving forward
and didn't bother to stop.
"Strange."
Red
XIII said softly to himself. Barret overheard him and walked beside Red XIII.
"What's
wrong?" Barret asked.
"Look
around. The whole place looked like it was tore up." Red XIII answered.
"So?
Da slum's like this after the meteor nearby wrecked Midgar right?" Barret asked
curiously.
"No.
These ruins looked quite fresh. Like it was done not long ago." Red XIII said.
"What's
yer point?" Barret asked curiously.
"There
was a big fight here just now." Red XIII replied.
"So,
what's so big deal wit dat? It's war, right?" Barret asked again with much
thought.
"Did
you see any dead bodies around?" Red XIII asked.
Barret
was shocked to hear this. Red XIII's right. This whole journey sounds strange.
It looked like someone laid the path. Someone waiting for them to walk pass
this path. When the time is right, they will…
"Prepare
for battle."
The
two heard a soft whisper. The two turned their heads and saw Vincent walked
past them. Vincent increased his speed and walked towards to front of the line.
"Look!
The exit is right in front of us!"
The
young Shinra soldier shouted and pointed towards a source of light. Everyone
cheered. They don't need to die in the slums now.
"Stay
right there, soldier."
The
young soldier turned his head. He saw Vincent pointing his gun towards him. His
face turned white and tried to keep himself calm.
"Cool
down, man. What wrong?" the young Shinra soldier tried to defend himself.
"Who
ordered you to do this?" Vincent asked coldly.
"I
don't know what you are talking man!" the young soldier replied.
"Calm
down, Vincent." Aeris said and try to push Vincent's gun away.
"You
have three seconds to reply." Vincent ignored Aeris.
"You
are out of your mind!" the young soldier shouted.
"Three."
Vincent started counting.
"If
it ain't me you won't make it this far!"
"Two."
"Vincent,
what are you doing?!" Tifa shouted.
"One."
Vincent prepared to pull the trigger.
"Help!
Come out and save my %$&** a$$ now!"
The
young Shinra soldier shouted at the top of his voice. Bright light appeared
among the ruins around them. In just seconds, all kinds of elemental spells
came striking at them.
"It's
an ambush! Take cover!" Reno shouted as loud as he could.
Almost
everyone was taken by surprise. They know that there was something fishy with
this journey, but they never expected it to be so near to their goal. They were
so close to the exit.
The
offensive spells cast by the ancient soldiers behind their cover struck a few
Shinra soldiers. They instantly fell onto the ground, dead. The Avalanche and
the Turks were in an extreme disadvantage situation. They were heavily
outnumbered and they don't have places to take cover. The enemies were
attacking from long range and they had a bad time attacking them hand to hand.
They were sitting ducks.
Soon
after the attack, Vincent hit the young soldier with the back of his gun and
pulled his gun away from him. He started firing at the enemy. But the ancient
army's barriers were too powerful. His bullets can't penetrate them.
"Scatter!"
Reno
shouted again. He spotted a green light growing. Everyone ran into different
directions and then a burst of green light was seen. Reno covered his eyes with
his hands and felt that he had been blasted off the ground.
Barret
felt onto the floor after that ultima blast. He tried to crawl up but he was
instantly struck by a lightning spell.
"Barret!"
Tifa
shouted as she saw Barret unconscious. She was in a bad state too. Everyone was
hardly able to get up and they were still been attack by offensive spells. Tifa
shook her head. This was when they will be known as K.I.A.
"Charge!"
A
loud voice was heard. Tifa brought up her head. She saw a man on a chocobo
coming her way. She can't see him clearly.
Tifa
forced her eyes to open. She was shocked yet happy to see what she just saw. It
wasn't only a lone rider. It was a whole army charging towards them.
"Attack
at will!"
The
rider shouted. Instantly uncountable chocobo rider stormed out from behind him
and charged towards the ancient soldier that were behind cover. The ancient
soldiers quickly cast spells at the chocobo riders but the chocobo rider dodged
those attacks with ease. These chocobos were really well trained.
"Banzai!"
A
chocobo rider charged in front of an ancient soldier and slashed him with his
long sword. The ancient soldier fell dead onto the ground and the chocobo rider
charged towards another ancient soldier.
Tifa
saw as the chocobo riders attack the ancient soldiers. The ancient soldiers
stood no chance against the chocobo riders. They were either kicked by the
chocobos or slashed by the long swords the riders held.
Suddenly
Tifa saw a green light surround her. Immediately she was rejuvenated and could
stood up again. She took a look at the others. The others already joined the
chocobo riders in attacking the ancient soldier.
"Time
for some payback."
Tifa
cracked her fingers. She leaped forward and kicked an ancient soldier. She
lifted up that ancient soldier's body and threw it at a group of ancient
soldiers. The ancient soldier were caught off guard and Tifa dashed towards
them and beat them up.
"Seize
attack!"
The
chocobo rider shouted. There was silence at once. Tifa just knocked out the
last ancient soldier and looked around. There were only members of the Avalanche,
the Turks and the chocobo riders standing. They had just won the battle.
