1 Chapter 2 The Shinra Tower
Yuffie stopped short of the entrance and noticed 2 guards stood outside of the doors. Walking up to them Yuffie asked them
"Would it be ok for me to go inside and have a look around?"
"I'm sorry but no-one is allowed to enter under the orders of President Reeve" The first guard said
"The building could fall at any moment, however we are to stand watch here until President Reeve decides what to do about the tower" the other guard said
"It's ok" Yuffie said "I know Reeve quite well and he would not mind me going in"
It was true President Reeve was in fact the human operator of Cait Sith. However much she and Cait argued she was still a good friend to him. She though had not seen him in around 3 weeks. In fact she had not seen anyone from AVALANCHE in 3 weeks. She wondered what they were up to probably saving the world or arguing over the slightest things in the case of Cid and Cloud but then soon remembered the Materia
"That may be so miss but no-one is allowed to enter with out written consent of the President"
Guard 1 said
"Perhaps though you would little old me in for a look" Yuffie replied trying to sound Flirty
"I'm sorry but I'm under order's and I would not like to be sacked because of this. I need the money for my family" Guard 1 said
"Fine then I don't need to go in that badly," Yuffie said
Turning around she walked off in the direction in which she had came.
"I'll find another way in," She said to herself
Walking to the right she followed the building around looking for any way in which she could use to enter the Tower. As she was walking she came to a door half-buried in rubble. The rubble was not that bad so Yuffie decided to move it in order to try and open the door.
The rubble took longer than she thought but after a while she had moved enough in order to try the door. She held down its handle and pushed for all she was worth. The door was quite stiff and Yuffie cut her shoulder against the rust covering the door. After much effort and patience she managed to move the door enough for her to squeeze in.
Looking around her Yuffie saw she was in a stair well and a long set of stairs rose into the air past her length of vision. She could not see where they ended but then again she could barley see as all but a few of the lights there had either broken or burned out. Yuffie was amazed that the place still had power but thought to herself
"Better get going or I might be discovered"
She started to climb up the stairs, a lot of them were missing or very uneven and she had to do quite a lot of jumping in order to move up them. After what seemed like an eternity ( which was about 10 minutes ). Yuffie stopped, she was tired. Sitting to rest and regain her strength she decided to have something to eat. Removing her pack from around her shoulders she opened it and removed a plastic bag containing a few sandwiches that she had bought in Sector 5. Taking a bite out of the first one she banged her hand against the railings of the stairs dropping the sandwich.
Bending down to pick it up she noticed a very faint line of light at the side of the wall. Glancing further she saw that it was an air vent that that was so cleverly hidden that she would not have noticed if not for Banging her hand. Yuffie moved over to it and tried to open it. The cover came off in her hands quite easily and she tossed the cover to one side. Looking down the shaft she could see a source of light at the end. Thinking to her-self that it would be better to go through the shaft instead of climbing the stairs she packed up her pack, placed it on her shoulder and started to climb in.
She was on her stomach crawling on her hands and knees towards the light. she may have been small but so was the shaft and she had a lot of trouble in sliding to the end. Getting to the end of the shaft there was a cover but it was not like the first one, it was more like a grille, turning around, which was very difficult. She placed her feet on the grille and kicked for all that she was worth after a few hard kicks the cover moved and fell to the ground with a large thud. Pausing for a few minutes in case any one came to investigate Yuffie remained silent. After she was sure that no one would come she slid out of the shaft and onto the floor. Turning around to see what was in the room. Yuffie turned and let out a horrible and terrified gasp at what she saw.
