Chapter four
Awakening
"Reno," said Zack, "why do you plague this girl"
"I'm sorry Zack president's orders," spoke the red headed Reno. He was a Turk in a Navy blue suit with a lean, yet muscular build. His red hair was in spikes with sun glasses placed on top of his head, and his suit was worn rather messy.
"She is supposed to be brought to Hojo upon capture."
"What ?" spoke Zack in a very serious tone, " you are going to let that FREAK have her, are you mad."
"I have to" spoke Reno with his eyes downcast, " I cant have my job taken away,"
" This is what I live for."
" being a Turk."
" Just leave Reno, " said Zack as he stood to defend Aeris.
" I'm sorry Zack," said Reno regretfully, " I cant do that."
" Well looks like we have to fight then," spoke Zack as he stood.
" It would appear to be that way old friend," spoke a now emotionless Reno in spine tingling tone. Reno raised his hand to motioning for the attack squad to move in. They didn't have a chance. As soon as the first man lifted his gun he was neatly impaled onto Zack's massive sword.
Zack then shoved Aeris down in between the pews and it began. Speed, that's the only way to describe Zack's movements. The young man wove in and out between the attack squad slicing with elegance at each man he passed. With in a few minutes the whole squad was eliminated, leaving only Reno with his electro rod out shimmering with electric power.
They just stood there staring daggers at each other, then in an instant, it all became a blur, they fought with a quickness never before seen. Metal hit metal and the room came alive with sparks. After a few minutes of fighting both men's power could be seen clearly. Each man dodged and blocked the other neither gaining an advantage. That's when it happed, Zack's speed picked up and Reno was put on the defensive, but Reno was known for his brains and cheap tricks in a battle. So the fire headed Turk just stopped. Zack's fist connected with mans head with a satisfying crack. The glory for Zack, however, was short lived, cause as soon as the hit made contact Reno's electro rod hit his open side sending thousands of volts of electricity shooting throughout his body.
" AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH," Zack screamed at the burning in his side.
He fell to the ground., but Zack, being a trained soldier, quickly got his bearings back and swept Reno's legs out from underneath him. The red head fell into one of the church's columns which, luckily, kept him on his feet. But this gave Zack enough time to get back up and launch a series of punches at the Turk's head, the last knocking him out.
" Come on lets get out of here," spoke Zack as he took Aeris' hand, " where do you live."
" I will show you, " she said leading him from the church.

Tifa had been crying the whole time since they head gotten back to the bar. Now two hours later she seemed have calmed a little.
"He didn't die Tif," said Jesse trying to comfort both of them," he is to strong to die from that."
" No normal man could have survived that fall," Tifa choked out as she began to cry again.
" Cloud isn't a normal human," boomed it Barrets voice, " You should have seen him take down that guard scorpion."
" Yeah his strength is unreal I have never seen any body in my life pull off the moves that he does," spoke Biggs from the bar stool.
"I think there is more to Mr. Strife then what meets the eye," replied Wedge from his seat beside Barret, " Not even a first class soldier could pull of those moves."
" He has an awesome amount of grace, and an unreal amount of speed and strength."
" I know that he will live through that fall."
"I hope so," spoke Tifa as she slowly quit sobbing.
" He will Tif don't worry," said Jesse soothingly.
" Well" spoke Barret after everyone was finished.
" We just got news in from some informants."
" Don Corneo has been trying to dig up info on us."
" We need to find out what he knows, who he is working for, and why."
" I need either Jesse or Tifa to go on this one, it shouldn't be to hard."
" The rest of us will be preparing for the next reactor."
" So who is going to go?"
Everyone new why only Jesse or Tifa could go. Don Corneo was the money maker in the sector 5 slums called the Wall Market. "The Don", as he was called, only allowed females to go into his mansion. There he would pick the best one each night to be his girl.
The room was silent for a while then Tifa spoke up.
" I will do it."
" alright its settled then." spoke Barret," the mission starts now.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Cloud Strife slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the blurred images around him. His head was spinning and his whole body ached. Laying for a few moments he collected his thoughts. His vision was now starting to clear so he looked around. He was lying in the middle of a children's play ground. He tried to sit up, but his whole body screamed in protest. Finally, after a few minutes of sitting the pain became tolerable and he stumbled to his feet.
"that hurt," he thought to himself," I wonder where I should go from here."
Cloud looked around his surroundings and noticed a big metal door in the wall that separated the sector he was in from the next. As he was watching it, contemplating what to do next, the doors slide open and a chocobo drawn chariot made its way through, and who was that in the back.
"Tifa," he thought, "what are you doing."
The cart made its way around the corner into the next sector. Cloud stumbled behind it.

The hooded figured made his way through sector four looking around cautiously at the scrap metal thrown to gather to make houses, his face covered in a shadow.
"Cloud," thought the cloaked figure," where the hell are you ?"
The man continued his trek down the darkened walkway passing by collapsing buildings, over grime covered streets, passed the homeless, and by whores.
"This is pathetic," he thought," The lower city of Midgar decays more and more each day."
The man continued when he suddenly felt a spark in his mind. A huge ki was making its way to the Wall Market.
" Cloud," he thought.
" I found you."
So then the dark figure turned and starting heading in the direction of the wall market.

Authors notes: Well I have now finished the first chapter. It should be VERY simple to figure out who the hooded figure is. I sure do wish you all would e-mail me some ideas at LanceStrife69@msn.com . Well I hope this chapter was ok, I didn't like it. Nothing really happened it was kinda like a filler chapter. Well keep the reviews coming.
