"I got to get them of my back!" Yuffie yells to herself, running away from red uniformed soldiers. "Take this!" She jumps turning around, and tosses a group of small shurikens at the soldiers. As she killed a few of them, she landed on the ground and darted for the rest. With the lift of her arm she slashed at one soldier with her large shuriken, and continued running. As she jumps in the air, she kicks one soldier and stabs another in the neck. Suddenly something large casts a shadow over the ground she was on. She looks up and notices the Highwind above her, and a rope ladder is hanging off the deck.

She squints her eyes, and smiles. "Cloud!" then she notices Cloud is falling straight at her, with his sword pointed at her. "Uh! Cloud, NOT ME!!!" She ducks down and rolls on the ground.

Cloud lands his buster sword straight threw a soldiers chest. As Cloud pulled the sword out, he looked at Yuffie, "Your being careless, there was a guy behind you."

Yuffie looks at him, "You make me so mad! Not even a, Hi Yuffie its cool to see you! No! Nothing!" She tilts her head, and throws a small shuriken at Cloud.

Cloud ducked immediately, and heard someone fall down. As Cloud looked back he saw a soldier on the floor with the shuriken stabbed into his neck.

"Your being careless Cloud." She grinned.

Cloud looks up at the sky, only to squint because the sun is blinding him. Suddenly, Tifa and Cid drop down to his side.

"Hi Yuffie!" Tifa said.

"Hiya!" Yuffie jumped in the air. "Well guys sorry to leave so quick, but there's some fighting to do."

As if on cue, a group of soldiers surround the group. They all raise their guns and select their targets.

"Shit! There's two for each of us!" Cid grunted

"Don't give me odds!" Cloud yelled, as he charged with his sword trailing behind him to the right.

Tifa does the same, "I'll cover you Cloud!"

Yuffie threw more shurikens without hesitation, taking her two soldiers down. "I'll help you out Cid."

Yuffie and Cid charge at two more soldiers.

Cloud brings his sword around him and notices they started firing. Bullets whizzed by his ear. He swung his sword straight into the right side of one soldier cutting straight in half.

Tifa charges to the man in the far left, and jump kicks him, knocking the man back a few steps. As Tifa landed down, she brought her leg around and roundhoused the soldier to the ground. Immediately she brough her her arm around and back handed the other soldier in the head, and keeping her momentum she kept spinning with a kick to his face knocking him down to the ground.

Cloud jumped up in the air with his buster sword above his head, and brought it down on his prey. Killing him instantly, Cloud stepped on the dead soldier, and pulled out his bloody sword.

Cid spins his spear around his head knocking the blunt end on one soldier's face, and Yuffie jumped up, and landed down stabbing her large shuriken into his chest. Without hesitation, Cid dashed forward and stabbed the last soldier in the gut with his spear. Then Cid let go of his spear and jump kicked the soldier on the face. Cid pulls out his spear. "That's what you get for shooting at me asshole."

"Lookie here!" Reno walks smootly into the battle ground, "We meet yet again." Rude behind him as usual, as well as two other men. One man, wearing black ninja suit, and the other wearing a blue ninja suit.

"Don't worry about them, their just tagging along. Cloud I challenge you to a duel."

Cloud nods, "Whatever."

They charge at each other, Cloud swung his sword straight down over his head, slamming his sword on the ground. While Reno evaded, he whispered into Cloud's ear quickly. "I'm on your side." The Reno elbows Cloud on the back, and grabs his arm. Reno forces it up Clouds back, but not too hard.

Cloud is struggling, but not struggling enough. Cloud decided to see what this is about. I hope I'm not being stupid, Cloud thought.

Reno started to force his arm up softly again. "Just scream in pain." Reno whispered again.

Cloud did what he was told.

Reno leaned in again, while "hurting" Cloud, "Hey! I'm on your side, I'm spying on that red corporation." Reno let him go.

Rude dashed straight into Reno and Cloud's battle.

"Hey Rude what gives?" Reno asked with a look on his face.

Rude continues charging and punches Reno on the face, knocking Reno back a few steps, immediately Rude starts jabbing at Reno left and right.

Cloud looks up only to see something he would never expect. Cloud jumps up and picks his sword up. "Whats going on?" He charges at Rude with his sword trailing him.

Suddenly the black ninja just appears in front of Cloud. Cloud halted his charge, sliding a few inches. "Whats your problem."

The black ninja disapears and reapears behind Cloud, but before it could do anything, Yuffie kicked the ninja on the back, knocking him forward. Cloud retaliated quickly with a swing to the ninja's side, but it disappeared.

"Cloud spin around swinging!" Yuffie yelled

Cloud continued his momentum, only to strike the reapearing ninja straight into his ribs, cutting him in half. Now the blue ninja appears and Cloud jabs him without a pause. The ninja dodges the punch and uppercuts Cloud. Cloud falls back, but rolls on the ground to his feet, and dashes forward to the ninja. Cloud raises his sword in the air and the ninja disappears. Cloud then swings around him in a circle. "Gothca!" he yelled as he struck the now reappearing ninja onto his head, decapitating him.

Reno dodges Rudes left, right, left combo and elbows Rude in the stomache. "Rude! What the fuck is going on?" Reno blocks another punch by Rude, but gets hit on the gut with the other.

"I'm working for them." He spoke for the first time in a what Reno could figure forever.

Reno jumped back twice, then charged forward. Rude swung forward to Reno's chest, but Reno spun around Rude, and elbowed him on the head. While Rude fell to the ground, Reno unbelted the stun baton. With a pounding swing, Reno slams the baton onto Rude's back, and presses the button by the handle.

Rude shaked around as electricity flows through his body. As Reno stopped he couldn't believe he was double-crossed. Rude attempts to get up, but Reno slams the baton onto the back of Rudes head, breaking it open. Rude finally collapses on the ground. "Can't fucking believe I was double fucking crossed by my own mother fucking best friend."

"Enough with the cursing." Lina spoke as she joined the party, her purple dress swaying along with her.

Reno belted his baton and ran his fingers through his red hair. "Well I guess I'm joining you guys."

"Reno! Reeve is dead." Cid grunted to him.

Reno's eyes fell into shock, his blood curled at the thought, "How?"

"Weapon" Cid said

"Wait a second!" Cloud yelled, "How can we trust you after you hurt Tifa?"

Reno laughed, and put his hands into his pocket. "Well I killed my best bud didn't I?" Reno walks up to Tifa. "By the way, I'm sorry for that, I was under probation, if I wanted to get the information I now know, I would have to hurt one of you. Cloud you were to damn hard to fight, I was surprised I was beating you that last time!" he said turning to Cloud

With his hurt ego, cloud replied, "Whatever! Alright. your in. Everyone, Reno is our new member." Who would have thought, cloud thinks to himself.

"They already retreated." Reno looks at everyone. "They got what they were looking for."

Yuffie looks at him, and realizes exactly what they were looking for. "I'm so stupid! I should have known!" Yuffie hits her forehead a few times.

"What?" Tifa beat Cloud to the question.

"Leviathan." Lina says.

Everyone looks at her.

"How did you know?" Reno asked.

"I. I don't know. I just do." Lina looks then realizing she should have stayed quiet.

Cloud walks up to her. "Lina you and I need to talk"
