Chapter 14

Captured

                                    -1 Year Later-

"Finally! The process is a success!" Hojo said.

"It's been 2 years. Are you ready now?" Jenova asked.

"Yes. Now all we need are our puppets," he said.

"Hey Sephiroth! We got our homework done. You wanna go onto the glacier with us?" Rueh asked.

"Sure," he said and picked up his sword. Rueh, Dete, and Sephiroth went out on the glacier.  They found a few monsters and easily defeated them.

"I guess we scared them all off," Rueh said after an hour of walking around.

"Must have. Let's go back," Dete said. They were halfway back to the village when some soldiers approached them.

"You're coming with us," the leader said. Rueh turned to Dete and Sephiroth.

"You hear this guy? He says we're coming with them," she said. Dete and Sephiroth laughed softly.

"That's what I said. Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way," the lead soldier said.

"You really don't know who you're talking to do you?" Rueh asked.

"I know exactly who I'm talking to. You 3 are to come with us. Hojo wants to see you."

"You're wrong if you think for a second that we'll cooperate and go to Hojo…dead wrong," Rueh said. Sephiroth drew the Masamune. Dete revealed her gun blade. Only when Rueh was angry did she sound like this and they prepared themselves for a fight.

"Ooooo…little kids think they can fight," the leader said sarcastically.

"We don't think…we know we can fight," Dete said.

"I'm sooo scared."

"You should be," Rueh said.

"No…I think you should be," the soldier said. The rest of the soldiers each drew a weapon.

"You're right…I'm petrified," Rueh said in a deadly tone. The leader and another soldier lunged at her. Three lunged for Sephiroth. Two lunged for Dete. Rueh easily defeated the leader but the second soldier put up a good fight. Sephiroth was playing with the 3 that fought him. He could get rid of them anytime he wanted.

Dete had never been as very good fighter. She could fight but wasn't as strong as the other 2. A soldier got behind her and placed a cloth over her nose and mouth. He let her go and she stumbled a few steps…then fell to her knees. A second later she completely collapsed.

"I'm bored," Sephiroth said and kill the 3 in one hit.

"Me too," Rueh said and finished off her last one.

"Where's Dete?" he asked looking around.

"Lets see…1, 2, 3…wasn't there 7 soldiers that attacked?" Rueh asked.

"Yeah…why?"

"Dete's gone…there's her gun blade in the snow there and I only see 5 dead soldiers," Rueh said.

"This isn't good," he said and picked up Dete's weapon.

"We better hurry and tell the others," Rueh said.

"Sir! We were only able to catch this girl," a soldier said.

"That's fine. Her friends will come for her," Hojo said.

"What should we do with her?" the soldier asked as Dete started to stir.

"Put her in that cell for now. Once the drug wears off I'll deal with her," Hojo said. The soldier put Dete in the cell and left.

"It won't be long now," Hojo said turning to Jenova.
