He is the next chapter. I am really sorry for the long wait. I have had a lot of schoolwork, but I should have more time now to write new chapters to my stories.
Chapter 12: Information
Barrett and Yuffie had been searching the second floor of the lab, but so far they had found nothing of use. They quietly walked down one of the corridors, neither of them uttering a word. Suddenly a door caught Yuffie's eye. It was different from the other ones they had seen on this floor. Most of the doors on this floor were just plain white, with notices on the front of a few of them, but this door was dark blue.
Yuffie stopped Barrett with her hand, then she walked towards the door. She tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. Yuffie, then noticed that the lock on the door was also different from the other doors on this floor. The locks on the other doors were normal key locks, but this door looked as though you need a special security card to unlock it.
"They have to have something very important hidden in here," Yuffie stated, turning around so that she was facing Barrett.
Barrett just nodded in agreement, then looked up and down the corridor, trying to figure out what they should do next.
"I guess the only way to gain access is to have a security card and I doubt the people here just leave them lying around," Barrett said at last.
"Then we will just have to find someone who has a security card and take it from them," Yuffie deadpanned.
Yuffie then hurried down the corridor on her search for a security card. Barrett sighed and ran after her. It didn't take them long to find someone, though.
Yuffie and Barrett had just turned down a corridor to their left, when they found themselves face to face with three security guards. They had been talking to one another, but upon seeing Barrett and Yuffie they drew their weapons.
The first of the guards was a woman with shoulder length, brown hair. She wore a blue cap and black gloves. Her eyes were a dark blue and she wore a blue uniform with brown, ankle length boots. The weapon she was using was a crossbow.
The second guard was a man in his mid-twenties. He had brown hair like the woman and green eyes. He too wore the blue uniform and brown boots, but instead of a cap he wore a blue bandanna around his head. The weapon he was using was a sword.
The last guard was another man. He was around twenty and had short, blonde hair. His eyes were an icy blue and he wore the same uniform and boots as the other two guards. He had a small silver stud in his left ear and he didn't have anything covering his head. His weapon of choice was a long metal rod.
Yuffie pulled out her Conformer and advanced slowly towards the group. Barrett followed with his gun arm raised, ready to shoot at the guards. There was a moment where the two groups just stared at one another and then suddenly Yuffie threw her Conformer at man with the sword. He dodged it and ran towards her with his sword raised. Yuffie caught her Conformer as it came back to her, then leapt over the man holding the sword and landed behind him.
Meanwhile Barrett was taking on the woman and the other man. The woman was staying far back with her crossbow raised. The man however was trying to get as near to Barrett as possible. Suddenly an arrow whizzed passed Barrett's right ear, narrowly missing him. Barrett quickly looked over at the woman, who was now reloading her crossbow. He was about to shoot her when the man attacked. The metal rod he was using hit Barrett hard on his left shoulder, causing him to stumble forwards a few steps. He soon regained his steps and turned towards the man. This is going to be a hard battle, he thought staying at the man and then at the woman.
Yuffie had the advantage in her battle. She could attack the man at a safe distance, but the man had to get close to her to attack. Every time he got even slightly close to her, Yuffie would throw her Conformer at him forcing him to retreat in order to dodge her deadly weapon. Suddenly Yuffie saw the perfect chance to strike the man down. He had left his left side vulnerable, so Yuffie attacked him with her Conformer.
It slashed across his left side and he fell to the floor in pain, trying desperately to stop the flow of blood with his hand. Yuffie, seeing her chance to finish him off, cast a quick fire 3 spell on him and he fell completely onto the floor, dead.
Yuffie glanced over her shoulder to see how Barrett was doing in his battle. Unlike Yuffie Barrett was having an extremely hard time trying to attack. His opponents were keeping him on the defensive, never giving him the chance to attack. They didn't seem to be paying any attention to Yuffie, which for them was a grave mistake.
In an instant Yuffie had flung her Conformer at the woman. It hit the back of her neck. The woman gave a short, sharp scream before she fell to the ground lifeless.
The man turned to look at Yuffie, which was a big mistake. Barrett gave Yuffie a quick smile as a way of thanking her for killing the woman, then he aimed his gun arm at the man's turned back and fired. He hit the man twice; once between his shoulder blades and a second time in the back of the man's head. The man had no time to scream. He was dead instantly. He fell to the ground, his eyes wide open and a small amount of blood dripping out of his mouth.
"That was a close call," Barrett remarked, as he strolled over to Yuffie.
Yuffie nodded in response.
"Let's check them to see if any of them were carrying a security card," Yuffie suggested, hurrying over to the woman and searching her pockets.
Both she and Barrett searched and at last they came upon a security card in the trouser pocket of the swordsman. Yuffie pulled it out and stood, dusting herself off as she did so.
"Let's see if it works," she said and with that they hurried back to the dark blue door.
They arrived in front of it and Yuffie slid the security card through the slot on the door's lock. She heard the satisfying sound of a click and with that she pushed the door open. Together Yuffie and Barrett entered the room.
It was dark and they spent the first few minutes searching for a light switch. Eventually Barrett found one and the lights flickered on. As the lights came on Yuffie let out a gasp. The room was filled with strange looking machines, filing cabinets, bottles on shelves containing who knows what and boxes filled with syringes and other medical equipment, as well as a mop and bucket being placed in the far right hand corner.
"This is it?" Barrett asked staring at the objects in front of him, "It just looks like a storage cupboard."
"Well there has to be something of importance in here otherwise it wouldn't have been locked now, would it?" Yuffie snapped at him.
Before Barrett could reply Yuffie strolled over to one of the filing cabinets and began searching through it. Barrett just stood there, staying at her. Eventually Yuffie got extremely annoyed at the fact that she was doing all the work.
"Well help!" she yelled at him.
Barrett shook his head in defeat and wondered over to a box and began looking through it. Suddenly he was hit in the back of the head by something. He turned around and saw a folder lying on the floor beside him. He picked it up and glanced over at Yuffie. He saw her tossing the folders that proved useless across the room, hence the reason he had been hit. He shook his head again and went back to searching the box.
After about half an hour's worth of searching Yuffie suddenly stood up in triumph. She held a folder above her head.
"I think I've found something," she exclaimed and Barrett hurried over to her.
One the front of the folder was written THE MORPHIC PROJECT. Barrett took the folder from Yuffie and quickly flicked through the pieces of paper inside . Suddenly something got his attention. It was a small photograph of Vincent. Below it was written:
"Vincent Valentine has been chosen to be the guinea pig for this experiment as we believe he is strong enough to survive the change his body will go through. The fact that he survived Professor Hojo's experiments 31 years ago has lead us to believe this."
"Damn!" Barrett exclaimed, "Those scientists have been planning this for sometime now."
He placed the photo back in the folder and closed it.
"Come on Yuffie," He said, "We'll check the rest of this information back at Cid's place."
Yuffie nodded in agreement and quickly they left the room.
AN - Well what do you think. Please review this story. Anyway there will be more chapters posted up soon. Please read my other fanfic as well. Now review.
