My December
Chapter 3 - Memories
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel pet her black chocobo Sykora on the head after feeding it some Gyashi greens, then shot a glare over at Reno, he had once again began to annoy her with the rants of her and Rufus getting together, Reno just continued feeding Yami, his own black chocobo, and ignored Angel's glares. The chocobo stable's owner came in quietly and looked at the two turks, Angel, who was shooting daggers, and Reno, who was interested in finding out how to dislodge a stick from Yami's feathers. "Excuse me, Would you like to buy anymore greens??" The man asked curiously. "Yeah, gimme 2 more Gyashi greens.." Angel said, dropping the gil into the man's hand and taking the greens, then feeding Sykora and returning to her glares at Reno.
"Typical, she's gonna gimme hell all the way to Junon.." Reno said quietly to noone in particular after dislodging the stick and tossing it on the ground, Yami warked happily and nudged Reno's arm, making it clear he was ready to go to Junon. Angel pat her own chocobo on the head and made sure she got one last glare at Reno, unfortunatly for her, he didn't even notice her icy glares at him. "You done Angel? This place smells like shit and I wanna get outta here.." Reno said to her. "I'm going, shut up." Angel shot back, irritated. "You're pissed off." Reno grinned at Angel. "..Reno, I'm about to show you pissed off, and knock you into that chocobo shit behind you." Angel replied. "Oh, I'm terrified." "You should be." Angel finished her speech by opening the door to Sykora's stable with a loud enough slam to make Yami flinch slightly as if to punctuate her sentance.
"Damn this is gonna be frustrating." Reno sighed, looking at Yami. Yami warked and nearly bit Reno as if to tell him "OPEN THE *@!(ing door already!" After Reno brought his arm away from the biting chocobo he reached towards the door latch and opened it, then led Yami out into the open, Angel was getting Sykora ready to ride, and watched Reno with complete irritation in her eyes. She glanced behind her back and saw absolutely nobody, 'good' she thought, if she pegged him with a rock he'd know it was her. Angel reached to grab a medium sized stone and was in mid heave as her cell phone rang, dropping the rock and instinctively turning the phone on, she answered it, frustrated. "Hello?" "Angel?" "Yeah, this is her, who's talkin'?" "Angel??" "Yeah...this is the one and only..." "Angel....You must not go to Junon..." "Yo, who is this?!" "Don't go to Junon! It's too dangerous for you!!" After this sentence Angel thought the mystery caller sounded slightly like Reno, she glanced up and glared at Reno, who was on the phone, and grabbed the rock she had again, then threw it and hit him in the back. "OW!!" Reno shouted, looking back at Angel. "STUPIDASS! TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO NOT GOING TO JUNON!" "What?!" "You heard me Reno!" "I heard you but I don't get what you mean!" Reno shouted. Angel closed the cell phone that had went onto a buzz of a dialtone and placed it back in her pocket.
"It's not like I can't go anyways Reno! It's my job, and I'm not about to let you while trying to do your best 'freak out angel' voice get me scared back into a deskjob in Midgar." Angel growled. "I didn't call you..." "Yeah, then how come you were just on the phone?!" "I was talking to Tseng and making sure that he was sticking me with you.." Reno replied, thinking Angel might have either a, gone insane, b, being prank called, or c, some shit was about to hit the fan. Angel stroked Sykora's head and her cell phone rang again. "Hello?" "Angel, it's Elena, I just got this wierd call about not going to gongaga..." "Elena, why are you calling ME over your personal--wait, what'd you say?" Angel was actually interested in listening to Elena for once, 'god..' Angel thought, 'this day really is getting freaky...' Reno looked at Angel, who was ingaged in her cell phone conversation and seized this opprotunity to return the rock that was thrown at him, hitting Angel square in the left shoulder, she glared at him while talking to Elena. "Yeah, this freaky dude who sounded kinda like Reno said that I shouldn't go to gongaga because it wasn't safe." Elena replied to Angel. "That's wierd, I got the same call, only instead of gongaga it was junon..." Angel sighed. "Something's up Angel, watch your back, even though you're with Reno." Elena replied. "Alright, thanks for the concern..." Angel replied, then her eyes widened in shock. "I mean, I don't need concern, I'm a big girl you know!" Angel continued. This cued a giggle on the other line from Elena. "Well, At least you aren't trying to be friendly towards me, I thought something was wrong with you for a minute there Angel!!!" Elena replied. "Yeah, I did too." Angel shot back.
Reno sighed, just listening to Angel ranting to someone else on the other line, and hoping that she wouldn't get pissed off more and hit him with a larger one than the rock he hit her with. "Well Angel, see ya, remember, watch your back, if this person's right, something's going to happen and it's going to be bad..." Elena finished. "Yeah, alright, bye." Angel replied, hanging up and closing her cell phone before stuffing it deep into one of her pockets. Reno's back was turned, she had her chance, Angel picked up her rock and hit Reno in the head with it, this cued numerous curses and rubbing of the back of his head. "DAMN ANGEL!" Reno shouted. "Hm?" Angel said quizzically, putting on her most innocent look. "Why'd you hit me?!" "I didn't, you must be feeling things Reno.." "Yeah, I'm feeling a lump forming on the back of my head no thanks to you!!" Reno shot at her. "Whatever.." Angel replied, getting onto Sykora. "Let's go." Angel finished talking to Reno and gently nudged Sykora in the sides, making the chocobo run out into the open and head for Junon. Reno followed on Yami, making sure to stay behind Angel, unfortunatly, the dust that Sykora kicked up ended up in his and Yami's faces, making them catch up on Angel and Sykora's right side.
****************************
Angel stopped her chocobo, looking up at the rain clouds forming. "We better hurry before we get wet.." Angel said to Reno, who was rather more interested in trying to find an overhang that the group could stay under while the storm passed. "We can't make it to Junon in time probably, that rain's already starting to come down.." Reno told the girl, who watched rain drops hitting her hands. "Yeah, good point, let's find a campsite." Angel replied, gently hitting Sykora in the sides, cuing the tired chocobo to half walk half jog to a large rock tunnel that Angel knew about. Reno followed on Yami as the rain got heavier and began to pummel the group. Suddenly Angel stopped in fear, looking at the huge impaled snake as lightning illuminated it. "The Midgar Zolom..How could something do that?!" Angel said, shocked. "Easy!" Reno replied, "You just fight it, get a giant pointy stick..and..." Reno looked at Angel, realizing that's not what she meant. Angel just kept a completely shocked look on her face as her green eyes glowed with mako. Reno looked at the impaled Zolom quietly and shivered slightly in the rain. 'Damn...I need some alcohol...' Reno thought to himself while dismounting Yami, going into the cave Angel had led them to, leading Yami in after him. Angel dismounted Sykora and led her into the cave as well, Angel's hair hung around her face in wet strands, and Reno's flame red hair was a tangled soaking mess, Angel shook her head and looked at Reno then opened her mouth to speak.. "....He was here...it had to be him..." Angel said, Reno instantly recognized who she was talking about by the look in her eyes, the same vengeful look that had been seen when she had fought Sephiroth, that same look he had seen when Nibel was being burnt to the ground when they were kids..
Angel just stared into the black abyss that was further down the cave silently. Reno looked at her then started to make a conversation. "...You sure about that?" "Yeah." "But it coulda been some other psycho.." "How many psychos do you know that are that strong Reno?" "Not many." "In number form." "One or Two..If you can count that guy on AVALANCHE..." Reno said, thinking of his hurt pride when he had been beat by Cloud, then looked at Angel again. "It couldn't be that guy though...he seemed too...wierd.." "Who're you talking about? Strife?" "Exactly." "Well, He's not my main concern at the time." "I noticed, too worried about Sephiroth." "You would be too if you were in my position." "What's that mean?" "..Nothing Reno..just..ignore what I just said." "There's a real challenge, I do that every day." "..you're so kind." "I know I am." At that Reno produced a rather evil yet delighted grin. "Damn, man, you have the personality of a rock without any alcohol in ya." Angel said, stating the obvious. "Exactly, that's why I think drinking on the job should be allowed because Elena wouldn't talk so much, Tseng wouldn't work so hard, Rude talks more, I have a better personality, You calm down and relax..." Reno trailed off into explinations of why drinking on the job is good. 'Damn it..Shouldn't have said that.' Angel sighed, not even paying attention to Reno's rants about alcohol on the job.
Yami and Sykora both went seperate ways to find somewhere to dry off, Yami sick of listening to his master rant about alcohol and Sykora sick of her master's down attitude. Angel idly wandered around, collecting sticks and stacking them, knowing the weather in these parts the storm could last for days. After making a stack that resembled a campfire, she cast a simple fire spell on it and watched idly as some grass burnt, the flames reflecting in her eyes, she watched the flames dance along the dark cavern walls and lick the ground, leaving in their wake only ashes. 'Just like Sephiroth did to Nibel..' Angel thought to herself, watching the flames continue to burn the grasses in the cavern, she watched as the last blades of grass burnt out and surrendered to the flames, leaving ashes lying everywhere on the ground where the flame's path went. Angel knelt in front of the fire and put her hands out, water running down her face and dripping off of her chin from her soaking hair, and she pulled her hands in to the pockets of her navy blue jacket, checking to make sure her phone was alright, then, something nobody would have expected happened. Reno stopped his ranting to look at the figures in the lightning.
Angel looked them up and down, full uniform, machine guns, glowing eyes, they must have been..SOLDIER.."Well, nice to see ya'll, but we don't need your help, we're taking a rest stop on the way to our mission." Angel said, making sure she had her Nibelheim accent in her voice. "Angel Lockheart?" One SOLDIER said. "Yo?" Angel replied. The SOLDIER stepped aside, allowing Tseng to walk fowards "Sorry Angel, but I have a mission too, from Hojo and Rufus." Tseng said, frowning. "Waaaaiiiiitttt a minute here, why're you here Tseng?" Reno asked. "...A mission Reno.." Tseng replied sadly. "What mission Tseng?" Angel said, her eyes sparking viciously. "..Capture the soceress in my ranks." Tseng said, looking at Angel. "Bullshit Tseng, you don't have to.." Angel said, standing up and reaching for her swords in her sheathes. Tseng shook his head and snapped his fingers, SOLDIER after SOLDIER, all 1st rank, poured into the cavern, grabbing Angel who unsheathed her swords and began to attack as much as she could. Reno was grabbed and held by SOLDIERs, who were falling as quick as they ran up to hold him.
Tseng watched quietly and let free the 2 chocobos, who ran back to the stable at full speed. Angel continued her desperate struggle until she got slammed in the head with the butt of a machine gun, which was when she dropped to the ground and got grabbed by 3 of the uniformed warriors, she heard the sound of an electrical shock and they yell of one of the SOLDIERs as she got released from 2 of the 6 hands. Her eyes searched for who had helped her as the other 2 SOLDIERs released her after falling, Reno pulling her up. "Why Tseng?" Angel said, looking at the black haired man sadly. "I-It's my mission.." Tseng replied coldly. Now the 2 were surrounded. "These guys just keep coming!!" Reno yelled irritated. "You know what? Screw it...Let's go!" Angel said, clenching her swords tightly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, That's that, Angel and Reno are trapped in a cave, Angel's a soceress, Hojo wants her to experiment on, Tseng's betraying the 2, Angel and Reno's pasts are beginning to be revealed, what'll happen next? Stay tuned folks! And don't forget to rate (pwease?)
