Chapter 6: Avalanche vs

Chapter 6: Trent and Tifa

There's a little bit of suggestive themes in this one. And don't flame me for putting two certain people together (check title of chapter.) Enjoy, even though I think this one isn't all that great.

Tifa was sleeping when Trent came back in. She didn't stir when he sat down on her bed. He stroked her face and traced her lips with his finger. She's a true beauty. Better than Gemma could ever be. Trent smiled to himself. There was something about Tifa-something that actually made the Turk leader feel warm inside. He had been very pissed off when Ice and the others had brought her back bruised and battered. Even though he hadn't specifically ordered them to bring her back healthy, they should have known better. Trent knew that Lillith had been the one to cause the most damage. She despised everyone that was weaker than her. He sighed and looked down at Tifa's face again. "She has the face of an angel." he whispered to no one in particular. His radio crackled to life.

"Sir. Avalanche has been spotted coming towards HQ." Ice's voice said.

"Roger. I'll be right down." Trent hoped the radio hadn't woken Tifa. He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips and left the cell.

Tifa was awake the whole time. She heard the words Trent said, she felt him kiss her. But she wasn't disgusted at all. It made her blush and she got butterflies in her stomach whenever she thought of Trent. "What is wrong with me? I'm-I'm falling for Trent! He's a villainous, cruel person!" she yelled. Her yells echoed off the walls. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn't have that butterfly feeling when she thought about Cloud anymore.

The members of Avalanche, except for Rude and Elena, didn't quite know how strong the Turks were. They expected it to be an easy fight. "There's the HQ!" Yuffie yelled. She had been ahead of everyone. Cloud unsheathed his sword as they approached the front. Suddenly, five people appeared in front of them. "Not so fast Avalanche." Trent said.

"Who the hell are you?" Cloud asked. The guy had red hair, blue eyes and wore black clothes. "I'm Trent Romasova. These are my Turks, Lillith, Gemma, Raven and Ice." he replied casually.

"Where the hell is Tifa you jackass!" Barret yelled.

"She's inside. But first you'll have to get past us." Trent replied. Raven pulled out his gun. Vincent noticed this and quickly pulled out his Death Penalty. Yuffie wasted no time talking. She threw her Conformer straight at Trent's head.

"You've gotta be quicker than that little girl." Trent caught the weapon. Yuffie gaped in surprise.

"Wh-what! How?" was all she could say before Trent threw it back at her. It embedded itself in her leg.

"Ow!" Yuffie fell to the ground clutching her leg. Red XIII cast Full Cure on her.

"Bastard!" Cloud swung at Trent. The Turk easily dodged and tripped Cloud. He fell but rolled over and jumped back up. Vincent and Barret were having an all-out shootout with Raven. Bullets were flying everywhere. One caught Vincent in the shoulder but he didn't flinch-only cast Cure 3 and kept shooting. Red XIII cast Fire 3 on Ice. It caused a great deal of damage. "Damn dog!" Ice cast Freeze and cured himself. Cid was having a hard time catching Gemma. Every time he got close enough to spear her with his Venus Gospel, she'd Teleport to another spot. She thought it was very funny as she kept giggling uncontrollably. Lillith was fighting Rude again and he managed to get a few blows in, one of them sent her flying through the air. Cait Sith and Elena stood in back and cast spells-mostly cures-to their team members. "Enough of these games!" Trent hollered. A yellow aura surrounded him.

"MIST OF DEATH!" he yelled. Suddenly all of Avalanche was enveloped in a black mist. Trent watched happily as all of them fell down, dead as doorknobs. "Why didn't ya just do that in the first place. Then I wouldn't have gotten my hair messed up." Gemma whined to Trent. Her hair stood on end where Cid had managed to get her with a Ramuh Summon. "None of them were worth fighting. Now they're all dead, so you can kill the girl." Lillith said to Trent. He glared at her and walked away in silence. The Turks slowly followed him.

Cloud groaned and stood up. He had been wearing a Safety Bit which prevented him from Sudden Death. After seven Life 2's, his team members stood up too. Barret punched the ground and made a rather large hole. "Damn, they're too strong!" he yelled.

"We just need better strategy. They expected us." Cait Sith said sadly.

"Damn it Caitty! Why didn't you tell us?" Cid snarled.

"I didn't know until now. It's kind of obvious, how else would they have known we were here?" the cat snapped back.

"Look. How about we go to an inn, rest and devise a plan to get Tifa." Cloud suggested. His team members grumbled in reply as they all left the HQ.

"Trent!" Lillith called. She saw he was headed towards Tifa's cell.

"What do you want?" he whirled around to face her.

"I need to know what our next orders are." she replied. As he was about to reply, both their radios crackled to life. "Sir! One of the Avalanche members survived. He had protection against sudden death. He's revived the group and they've left." Raven said.

"Shit! Where are they headed?" Lillith asked.

"An Inn by Wall Market." Raven replied.

"Roger. We'll take action tomorrow." Trent said and the radio went off.

"What do you mean? We must go after them now!" Lillith protested.

"Leave them alone for now. We'll devise a plan tomorrow. Take the night off ok Lillith?" Trent was clearly irritated by her presence. The purple-haired woman frowned at him. "You're making a big mistake Romasova. I know you've fallen for Lockheart. She's an Avalanche member. How could she love you anyway? You're a cold-blooded killer. And when you kill her friends she'll want nothing to do with you." she said icily. Trent glared daggers at her.

"Lillith, if you don't get out of my fucking sight within 5 seconds, I will be forced to kill you." he said in a voice so low and evil that it made Lillith shudder inside. "I'd like to see you try." and with that, the martial artist turned and swiftly walked down the hallway. "Bitch." Trent spat after her and continued walking to Tifa's cell.

Tifa was sitting on the edge of her bed. She had changed into the new clothing, a simple pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. She couldn't stop thinking about Trent. Have I really fallen for him? she asked herself. She hugged her knees to her chest. "I wish he were here. I need someone to talk to." she muttered. As if on cue, Trent opened the door and walked in. Closing it behind him he smiled. She smiled back. Why are you smiling back? He's your captor? He's going to kill you sooner of later! her mind screamed. Tifa ignored it as he sat next to her. "Tifa. I've been wondering…" Trent trailed off. They stared at each other, Tifa was caught in the beauty of his eyes. They were mako enhanced-yes-but still beautiful. Cloud's eyes were beautiful too, she thought. But she willed herself not to think about him, not now. Trent looked down, breaking their invisible embrace. "I was thinking of letting you go." he told her softly. He took her hand and squeezed it. "Trent. You know. I've been thinking about something for awhile. Even though I know it isn't right, I think I've fallen for you." Tifa whispered. YOU IDIOT! What the hell are you saying! her mind screamed.

"As I have too Tifa." he kissed her hand and pulled her closer, kissing her lips. Tifa gladly returned the kiss, ignoring the screaming of her conscience and she didn't protest when he lowered her down on the bed.

Gemma was getting antsy. Usually around Midnight, Trent would get restless and he would make out with her. But he was nowhere to be found. She couldn't talk to anyone. Raven was out scouting, Lillith was in one of her foul moods and Ice was watching TV. No one liked to disturb him while he watched TV, or else he got more moody than Lillith. Just as she was about to leave the Common Room, Trent walked in. He looked quite unkempt, his hair ruffled, his shirt not properly buttoned and he had a blush to his cheeks. "Where have you been?" Gemma said, lazily putting her arms around his neck. She saw a sort of glazed look in his eyes. "Nowhere. Listen Gem. I very tired from today. Maybe tomorrow." he kissed her quickly on the lips, went to the desk to grab some papers and left. Gemma glared at his retreating figure. "I may act ditzy, but I'm not stupid. I know exactly what he-and that whore Tifa have been doing." she spat. As she left she heard a voice.

"Gemma." it called. She turned and saw Lillith leaning against the wall.

"You know what Trent was doing with Lockheart right?" the purple-haired twin asked. Gemma nodded. "Since when do people have SEX with their hostages?!" she exclaimed. Lillith nodded. "Let's go kill her." she suggested. Gemma considered this, but then thought about Trent. "Then Trent will kill us!" she protested. As much as she wanted to see a dead Tifa Lockheart, she didn't want Trent to blow-up at them. He knew 150 ways to kill a person and she was sure he'd try all the ways on her and Lillith. "Trent's a dumb ass. All you've gotta do is bat your eyelashes and he'll spare you. That's exactly why he hasn't killed that slut Lockheart yet." Lillith grabbed her sister by the arm and dragged her down the hallway toward where Tifa was kept. "Alright, I agree Lily. BUT we only hurt her really bad, not kill her." Gemma told her sister. "Fine." Lillith rolled her eyes and they continued their walk.

Tifa was sound asleep. She was smiling because of her night with Trent. But thoughts were jumbled in her head. hey called her a slut, a whore. She admitted, she didn't expect to sleep with Trent. What the hell is wrong with you girl? I thought you were saving yourself for, CLOUD. her conscience screamed. It was true, she wanted to save herself for him but she didn't love Cloud anymore. She loved Trent Romasova.

"Here's her cell." Lillith had stolen the key from Trent's room. They opened it and saw her sleeping figure on the small bed. "So, how are we gonna get her? Ultima spell?" Gemma whispered.

"First I want her awake so she can feel the pain." Lillith hissed. She walked over and switched on the light. Tifa groaned and opened her crimson brown eyes. She looked from one twin to the other. "Hello Tifa!" Gemma said nicely.

"Um. Hi." Tifa sat up. Lillith leaned over the woman until they were almost eye to eye. "Lockheart. Are you ready to die?" she asked.

"What? What do you mean? Where's Trent?" Tifa asked.

"Trent won't be here to save you now you little slut!" Gemma cackled. Jumping out of her bed Tifa went into a fighters stance. Lillith rolled her eyes and looked at Gemma. "Ultima." the green haired girl. Tifa fell to her knees.

"This is too easy. I at least thought she'd put up a fight." Gemma looked at her nails and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "She's a pathetic weakling. She's also a slutty whore." Lillith sneered. Suddenly BAM! Tifa hit her in the face. It snapped Lillith's head to the side. "Little bitch!" she snarled. Gemma cast Stop on Tifa.

"What should I do? So much magic to choose from." she walked around Tifa.

"Whatever. Use something that will kill her fast!" Lillith rubbed her jaw. "Uh-uh-uh! Remember were not gonna kill her! I got it, Tornado!" Gemma yelled, casting the spell. She and her sister left the cell and locked the door. They didn't hear Tifa's body hit the floor with a sickening thud.

Looks like we have two jealous Turks. Don't expect Tifa and Trent to be together the whole story. You'll find out more about why she's 'in love' with him in Ch. 7.
