I'd like to point out a minor mistake in the chapter where Tifa is telling Trent where all the members of Avalanche are. I forgot to mention Rude, Reno and Elena. They're part of Avalanche too!
Chapter 3: Reno vs. Trent
Trent entered the Shinra HQ with a big grin on his face. His plan was about to take action. "What're you so happy about?" Ice asked when he entered the common room. "I've found the locations of the Avalanche members. Four of them are already right under our noses." Trent replied sitting next to Gemma on the large couch.
"So, we like, get a chance to kick some ass now?" she asked.
Trent laughed, "Precisely."
Lillith, who had been looking through the files on Avalanche, narrowed her eyes at Tifa's profile. "Trained under the great Zangan?" she muttered. It was very surprising, for Lillith had also trained under him. When she was ten, her father had died. Zangan had been traveling and happened to stop in their village. For a fee, Zangan had offered to train Lillith for awhile. "Lily. Are you up for a fight?" Trent interrupted her thoughts.
"My name is Lillith. I don't particularly care for these Avalanche people. I don't like to fight the weak. But—this Tifa Lockheart. She's a Martial Artist also. I'd like to see her skills." she replied. Gemma groaned. She knew her sister thought she was the greatest Martial Artist to ever graze the Planet. Suddenly the doors opened and Lady Angel swept in-accompanied by her 'Lap Dog', Scarlet. "Romasova!" she said sharply. Trent got up from the couch and faced her. "I do not pay you and your Turks to sit around. Have you found the whereabouts of Avalanche?" she asked. "Yes, my Lady. We were just going to carry out our mission." Trent replied.
"Very well. You cannot afford to fail." and with that, Lady Angel took her leave.
"Crazy bitch." Trent muttered. He snapped his fingers for his fellow Turks to get up too. "Let's go."
Reno, Rude and Elena stopped in front of the Shinra building. "Well. It's been awhile. Doesn't seem like much has changed." Reno said, pulling out his nightstick. Rude adjusted his dark glasses and looked around. "Except some new bitch is trying to take over other than Rufus and his lard ass of a father." he commented. Elena shook her head. If Tseng could see them now. "Shall we go in?" Reno asked. His two friends nodded and they walked through the large doors. The lobby was dark and silent. Lady Angel hadn't really gotten a chance to employ many people besides the Turks. She didn't even have Soldiers. "If I remember correctly. All the important Shinra scum were above floor 64." Elena pushed the button on the elevator. They heard the ding of the elevator arriving and the doors opening. To their surprise, the Turks stepped out. They looked just as surprised as Reno, Rude and Elena. "Well. You went after me Reno." Trent said calmly. "Yeah. To kick your ass!" Reno challenged, charging his nightstick. Trent laughed, "I'd like to see you try." he sneered. With a growl of anger, Reno charged, ramming his nightstick into Trent's chest. Trent's body convulsed as the electric currents went through him. Reno pulled it back and Trent stumbled. "Boss…" Raven started but their leader held up a hand. "Go to Sector 7. To that chick's bar. You know what to do. Leave me here. I need to finish this."
His comrades nodded and hurried away. Reno glanced at Rude and Elena. "Make sure they don't hurt Tifa." he said.
"But Reno. We can't leave you!" Elena protested.
"Go Elena!" the red-headed ex-Turk growled. Rude nodded and he and Elena hurried away. "It's just you and me brother. You got a lucky shot the first time." Trent circled Reno. He pulled out a simple switchblade. "You expect to beat me with that?" Reno almost laughed. But his laugh was cut short when Trent lunged, delivering a swift roundhouse kick to his jaw. Reno staggered back, dazed but quickly recovered. Trent didn't use a weapon but he wasn't quite a Martial Artist like Tifa and Lillith. He learned most of his fighting from the streets.
"I'm disappointed brother. You couldn't even dodge a simple kick?" he asked. Then with the speed of light, Trent started beating up Reno with a flurry of kicks, punches, slashes and magic spells. Reno couldn't even blink. Suddenly as Trent was about to deliver a kick to Reno's head he managed to dodge and cast a Bio 3 spell. It didn't even hurt Trent. "What the hell?" Reno stated as he wiped blood from his lip. "It's called a Ribbon dear brother. Maybe you should get one." Trent stated and cast a Bio 3 back at Reno. Luckily he had an antidote on hand. Trent looked down at his brother pitifully. "Reno you are pathetic. I was actually looking for a real fight."
Trent lunged again embedding his switchblade into Reno's shoulder. Reno grimaced in pain. Suddenly, with a surge of anger, Reno jammed his electrically charged nightstick into Trent's face. The Turk fell down in pain. "Bastard." he spat clutching his bleeding face. Reno cast a Knights of the Round Summon that Tifa had let him have. "He can't survive that." a smile formed on Reno's lips. He cast Full Cure on himself as the last Knight slashed the life out of Trent. Reno walked towards his fallen brother and looked down. Trent's body was bleeding and broken at what seemed beyond repair. But Reno gasped when he saw Trent's ice blue eyes open and a grin form on the man's face. "How could you have survived Knights of the Round? Tifa told me it killed Sephiroth himself!" Reno practically screamed. "Well…it seems…I'm mightier…than Sephiroth…" Trent muttered, coughing up some blood. Reno was prepared to finish Trent off with another Knights of the Round, but Trent raised his hand to stop him. "If I were you… I'd think before I act… That girl at the bar…your friends won't be able to stop my Turks."
Reno narrowed his eyes. He was debating whether to kill his brother or go and help his friends. "Dammit!" he kicked Trent in the side as hard as he could. "Trent…we'll finish this later." and he ran off towards Seventh Heaven.
Tch. This chapter was really bad. Anyway, please R&R. I need feedback!
