The
sky slowly became brighter and brighter. The darkness had faded away. It was
another day again.
From
Midgar, the surrounding looked so peaceful and quiet. The barren rocky area
were deserted. The grasslands beyond those rocks show no single movement. But
hiding among the tall grass were large numbers of highly trained military
soldiers.
The
soldiers were lying down on the ground staring at Midgar. They were situated to
the north, east and south of Midgar. Cait Sith led the army at the north,
Takawachi at the east and Godo at the south. Godo traveled with his warrior for
hours in the dark going round Midgar to the south. The darkness provided them
cover and allowed them be invisible to the ancient army. They reached their
destination right before dawn.
Now,
they were waiting for something to happened. They wished to see a stream of
white light blasting right through Midgar, destroying every single ancient
soldier holding their positions there. But that could only happen if Cloud's
team succeed. Their failure could only bring more death and sufferings.
"Everything
all right to the east?" Godo spoke through the PHS.
"The
lion is still in the den, my lord." Takawachi replied.
Godo
shut down his PHS and continued observing Midgar. He hope that those ancient
soldiers will stay in there long enough until Aeris summoned holy to blast them
away. If they knew about his plans, they will rush out of Midgar and they could
probably get past the barricade of soldier around Midgar. Godo prayed that
everything go as planned.
Time
past slowly. The soldiers could feel every second crawling by them. Beads of
sweat started forming around their foreheads. Tension rose and every minute was
filled with fear. They could only hope that Midgar remained the way it was
right now.
The
PHS next to Godo suddenly rang. Godo on his PHS and listened to it.
"Lord
Godo, I think the lion is suspicious. Check out the entrance of sector 7." The
voice in the PHS said.
Godo
picked up his binoculars and looked at Sector 7. He could see movements among
the ruins. At first it was just small movements. But then it turned massive.
Before he knew it, he could see ancient soldiers rushing out from the big
entrance of Sector 7.
"Lord
Godo! The lion is out of the den! I repeat! The lion is out of the den!" The
voice shouted through the PHS.
Godo
only saw those black dots rushing out with astonishment. He then took a deep
breath and talked through the PHS.
"Attack
at will."
Godo
shut down his PHS and threw it away. He stood up straight and turned around. He
faced his soldier and looked at them, ready to lead them into battle.
"Men,
today, we save the world."
Godo
said and his men nodded. Godo pulled his long sword out of its sheath and
pointed it towards Midgar.
"Attack!"
Godo's
soldiers shouted and rushed towards the battlefield. Godo held his sword high
up and mounted a chocobo leading his men to battle. Like he said, he is on his
journey to save the world.
Only
a few minutes ago, the center of the slums of Midgar was filled with ancient
soldiers but now they were all gone. They were forcing theirs way out trying to
break through Godo's defenses.
Footsteps
suddenly broke the silence. Two figure suddenly appeared. Followed by another
one. All three figures wore blue suits and sneaked around quietly. It was the
Turks carrying out their job. They just parachuted down from the Highwind and
were heading towards the power generator. They gotta be very skillful in
sneaking to accomplish their job.
"Now
where to?" Elena asked Rude for directions.
"I
think I know a shortcut. Follow me." Reno said and lead the other two.
"Is
it safe?" Elena hesitated but still followed Reno and Rude. Reno always led
them into trouble every time he says he was sure of something.
"Relax.
I bet my a$$ that it will be perfectly..."
Before
Reno could finish, a flash of lightning struck right under his feet. Reno
jumped and landed skillfully nearby. Reno looked up and saw three ancient
soldiers charging up their offensive spells. These guys were really behind the
others.
"Duck!"
Reno
shouted and pushed Elena and Rude onto the floor. Three fireballs whished past
their backs and exploded on impact on the wall nearby. The Turks coughed and
tried to attack them with melee attacks but they were too far away. Long range
spell will not work on them.
"Now
what?" Elena asked while trying to get as much cover from the hiding place.
"How
in the hell I should know?" Reno shouted back in dodged another lightning
spell.
All
of a sudden, a dark image landed from above behind the ancient soldiers. The
image pulled out a gun and blasted one of the ancient soldier right at the
head. The ancient soldier fell and before the other two knew what happened, the
image disappeared into the darkness.
The
other two ancients soldier panicked and cast their defensive spells. They
looked around, trying to seek for the attacker and take him out. They charged
their spells and will attack anything that moved.
Suddenly,
they saw something moved, the two ancient soldier blasted it with their
lightning attacks and struck it. They took a better look, they just fried an
innocent stray cat that showed up at the wrong time. That means that...
A
dark image appeared behind them again. Before they could do anything, the sound
of a metallic object slicing through something was hear. Then, the head of an
ancient soldier rolled down and fell on the floor. The other ancient soldier
stared in horror and flee with amazing speed. The turks just watch this happen
in astonishment, this could only meant that...
"Two
down and one to go."
A
voice was heard from behind the turks and the turks got the shock of their
life. They turned around and saw Vincent standing behind them already. He was as cold as usual, and his metallic
arm was covered with red flowing blood.
"Damn!
Why must you always..."
"Sorry.
That is the way I work." Vincent apologized before Reno could finish
complaining.
"So
you chopped the guy's head with your arm?" Rude asked and pointed at Vincent's
arm.
Vincent
nodded. That is the only melee attack he got with changing into a beast.
"Wait!
What about the other guy that got loose? He will surely raise the alarm!" Elena
cried out.
"Don't
worry. There is someone waiting for him there." Vincent said and walked away.
The turks couldn't understand what he was saying. They could only follow him
and walked along.
