Author Note: Oww...long time since I've updated. This part focuses on the Well of Awakening and Rufus Shinra.
Kyo stared at the ghostly figure sitting on top of the well.
"Excuse me? Find what? Why are you a ghost? And why the heck are we in this creepy cave?" she asked.
"That's Greg Marrow, Kyo! He's an Ancient!" Jill exclaimed.
"Uh, that's great. What's an Ancient?" Kyo asked.
"I'm an ancient being that lives to help the planet, or used to live. I'm dead now," Greg explained.
"I see that," Kyo said.
"I also have magical powers. Want to see?" Greg asked enthusiastically.
"No, I want to know what's going on," Kyo said. Greg looked a bit disappointed.
"Okay, where you are right now is called the Well of Awakening. I teleported you two here before you got eaten," Greg explained.
"That's so nice of you!" Jill said happily.
"Yeah, yeah. Why do you save us? And what's the Well of Awakening?" Kyo asked.
"The Well of Awakening is where travelers meet their destiny," Greg smiled, "I made that part up. It sounds cool, huh? Anyway, I need you to find a special treasure for me."
"What kind of treasure?" Jill asked.
"It's the Crystal of Funk!" Greg said. Kyo and Jill gasped, looked at each other, then looked at Greg.
"The Crystal of Funk?!" they exclaimed together.
"Yeah! See, it was stolen from me. There's this party in a few months and without the crystal, I just don't have my funk," Greg said sadly.
"That's so sad," Jill sniffed, "we'll get your crystal back!"
"We will?" Kyo frowned, "wait, don't I have a say in this-"
"I can send you back home the moment you return it," Greg said. Kyo jumped up and grabbed Jill's hand.
"What are we waiting for Jill?! Let's help this poor guy get his crystal back!" Kyo and Jill ran toward what looked like an opening, and slammed into an invisible wall. Kyo and Jill both fell backwards with large bumps on their heads.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you. There's only one way out of the Well of Awakening," Greg said. Kyo sat up and rubbed her head.
"Now you tell us. How do we get out?" she asked. Greg smiled and jumped off the well. He pointed to the well.
"Just jump in!" he said. Kyo and Jill looked at each other, and gathering every bit of courage, leaped into the well.
Rufus sat in his desk, organizing papers. He glanced outside and notice the gloomy, dark atmosphere.
"Ah, another wonderful day," he said aloud. Rufus's phone began to ring. Annoyed, he picked it up.
"Hello? Can't you see I'm very busy? What do you mean you haven't found Sephiroth?! Oh fine, let the Turks handle it. Send in that new recruit to replace uh...what's his name? Oh yes, Reno. Send in the replacement," there was a muffled sound from the other end of the phone. Rufus scowled as he listened.
"Just hurry up! And my name is Rufus, not Doofus!" Rufus hung up, rubbing his forehead, "I work with morons..."
Elena nervously walked towards Rufus's office. This would be the first time she would see the new president of Shinra. She had heard a lot of rumors about him. Some said that he was very handsome, other said that he was fat and ugly. Others had said that he was sixty feet tall with giant feet and purple hair, but Elena found that hard to believe. She entered Rufus's office and gasped as she saw him.
"Oh my," she thought. The new president was gorgeous. He had blonde hair, beautiful eyes, and a slim body. She felt a bit intimidated by the scowl on his face.
"Snap out of it," the voice in her head told her, "start acting professional." Elena tried to hide the blush on her face.
"Are you the soldier they sent?" Rufus asked.
"Ye-yes, sir," Elena said.
"Good, you'll be replacing Reno of the Turks," Rufus said. Elena's jaw hung open. She knew that if President wanted to see her, it was something important, but she hadn't been expecting being promoted to the Turks. Even if it was only temporary, Elena wanted to dance with joy.
"You're one SOLDIER's best recruits," it was true. According to the reports, Elena was the most accurate and deadly with a gun. Rufus wondered if he shouldn't just keep her in the Turks. After all, having one more Turk wasn't really a bad thing.
"You seem to be fit for the job. Don't disappoint me, I'm looking forward to hearing about your first mission," Rufus said.
"Y-yes sir! I won't let you down!" Elena replied.
"Tseng will give you further instructions. You're dismissed," Rufus said. Elena nodded and then left.
