The Turk
Wow, it's been a while, but here comes the third chapter. Thank you to the person who reviewed it April, you gave me the inspiration to continue. I still don't own most of the characters, but I now own two!
Part 3: First Day
Three days has past since the Turk encounter, Adam is now fully recovered and is ready to enter the Shinra HQ.
He stood in front of the neon building. From the ground the building seemed to reach high into the sky. The automated door slid open as he entered. The reception was huge, he was completely in the dark about where he was supposed to go.
"Mr. Draven?" The receptionist questioned.
"Yessum?" Adam retorted. 'How come even she knows my name?' He thought.
"Here's your all access key card, you're expected in the 67th floor meeting hall," she said.
"Thanks," he replied. He stepped into the elevator, slid the key card and went up to the 67th floor."
Meanwhile, in the meeting hall
The top Shinra big wigs sat around the huge table waiting for Adam's arrival.
"So, what's this new kid like?" Heidegger, head of urban development questioned.
"A real vigilante, almost as bad as Reno when he first joined although a lot more mysterious," Tseng answered.
"Hey! I'm mysterious," Reno retorted whilst trying to sport a very shadowy pose, but failing miserably.
"Oh yes, all fear Reno, child of the night," Adam butted in sarcastically as he strolled into the board room.
"You're a bit late aren't you?" Heidegger questioned, who looked at his watch.
"No watch," he replied whilst showing off his bare wrists.
"Either way, lets get down to business," President Shinra intruded.
"Adam, since you're new to the company, please share with us your views and aims for the future," Tseng piped up.
"Err...I wanna work with you guys, get severely wasted and make lots of money," he replied with a big grin on his face.
"Sounds like a plan!" Reno beamed with anxiety.
"Reno! How could you say that!?" Elena yelled down into his ear.
"Because it's true?" Vincent added, meaning it to be a question but his low voice made it more of a statement.
"Enough! This is a business meeting, not a 'see how much the Turks can get pissed' meeting," Shinra butted in angrily. "Now, lets discuss last weeks business,"
"The Shinra army has finally removed all the rebels from the Wutai area," Scarlet said with an evil smirk on her face.
"We recruited Adam and we discovered a group of thieves," Tseng blurted out.
"What were the thieves after?" Adam questioned
"Shinra weaponry," he replied, all to quickly for Adam's liking.
"Well, what are you going to do about it?" President Shinra interrogated
"That's what Adam is here for, they seem to be hiding in an area familiar to him," tseng replied, looking confidently at the purple haired one.
"Come again?" He replied clueless.
"The rebels in question have managed to bury themselves somewhere in the Icicle Inn area," Tseng answered whilst pushing a file in Adam's general direction. He opened up the file and scanned over the details and profiles of the group in suspect.
"I see...so all I have to do is take them out, what equipment do I get?" He pondered.
"Whatever materia you may have on you, your weapons, transport and a complimentary uniform," Tseng replied sliding another folder along, which Adam threw straight into the trash bin after two seconds of opening it.
"Right, with that sorted, I'll get to work," he said rising from his chair, "Mr. President."
Shinra nodded at the title as Adam went to leave the room.
"Whoa there gunslinger, equipment is on the 52nd floor," Scarlet called to him as the door was half closed behind him.
He followed Scarlet and Tseng's instructions and went to equipment floor, where he got himself kitted out with a Turk uniform, which he had to admit looked sharper than his mercenary gear, and surprisingly flexible.
The helicopter journey to the drop-off point was terribly boring. He had decided to keep his mercenary gear on for now with his Turk uniform in a backpack with other supplies. The helicopter touched down, and Adam departed, but not without the motorcycle he had claimed as "transport". It was only a 15 minute ride to Icicle Inn, which passed without event, to Adam's dismay. As it was late afternoon/ early evening he decided to spend the night and start the mission in the morning.
He first expected the night in the inn dungeon bar to be a boring one, but there have been a group of snowboard fanatics in the area, as two fights broke out in the evening. Once again he did not get anywhere without someone knowing him, but he managed to escape a long drawn out conversation about where he's been the past five years.
Morning came around, and he departed into the wilderness, leaving the motorcycle behind. The snow was blowing down hard, Adam kept a scarf covering his mouth. The visibility was poor, the sounds of an angry pack of wolves being the only thing keeping him company. At the foot of a small mountain he found the crevice mentioned in the file, and entered in a quiet fashion. The inside was a vast chasm of stalagmites, a light shining at the far end. Vices were heard, about five different ones, the most prominent being a very feminine one. Sneaking over without notice because of their loud banter, Adam began scaling the closest stalagmite, occasionally causing pieces to fall, one larger than the other in the middle of the stalagmite.
"What was that?" A male voice called, the party beginning to scan the chasm. It was time to strike.
Adam dropped from his position and laid waste to the area with his sub machine gun. Everyone was caught unaware apart from the female leader who managed to dodge the gun fire and ready her weapon as the group fell.
"Who the fuck are you!?" The enraged woman growled, her spear weapon ready.
"Adam Draven, mercenary extraordinaire and now Turk, and who might you be?" He answered with another question.
"I'm Keiti, and how did the Turks manage to track us here?" She replied.
"Because...we are everywhere?" He said, trying to mock Vincent as he holstered his gun and unsheathed his sword ready for combat.
She took the initiative, using both ends of the spear to attack him, which he's very lucky to dodge or block. The fight continues back and forth for a while until they end up outside in the snow storm. For one small moment Keiti seemed to disappear into the whiteness: which gave her the opportunity to attack. The bladed end of the spear came out of nowhere and struck Adam across the right shoulder, blood pouring onto the snow.
"Agghh! No problem...Swipe in the dark!" Shadow surround the area and Adam surged forward, penetrating the right side of Keiti's mid section.
"Ugh!" She dropped to her knees, resting on her spear. Those familiar red flames began to surround her. "Heaven's skewer!"
"Huh?" She grabbed Adam as he stood in bemusement and launched him high into the air. Closing towards the peak of the launch, she took aim and hurled the spear at him, piercing him in the chest, barely missing his vital organs.
On the way down, he aimed his sword down at her. "I'm not...done yet...Rapid blade!" Bolts once again firing out, crashing down on her.
She slumped to the ground bleeding, as he hit the deck hard, blood oozing out of his wounds. At least half an hour passed before they started clambering to their feet, Adam rising first. He stuck his sword into the ground and pulled out his gun, aiming it straight at her forehead. "Sorry love, it's only part of the job."
He could see the fear in her eyes, her wet brown hair sticking to her face. If it weren't for the visual sign of combat fatigue, she'd be rather beautiful.
"Now, now Adam, that's not part of your objective," Tseng called out whilst sitting on a rocky outcrop with the rest of the Turks.
"What the...how long...why?" Was all Adam could utter, leaning on his sword but keeping his gun aimed at Keiti.
"About an hour, because we're everywhere, and to pick up our new recruit," Elena answered as Tseng was looking longingly at Rude.
"Oh...okay, I'm just gonna collapse now," Adam said before passing out with Keiti, blood covering the ground
Half a day later
"Hmm...back at the inn I see..." Adam said looking up at the familiar ceiling.
"Yeah...we gave you the express healing this time, the new recruit has gone back to Midgar," Reno said, him and Rude sitting on chairs.
"Well then why are you guys still here?" He questioned.
"You haven't had your induction drinking session yet," Reno beamed like a small child.
"Alright...hope you boys can keep up!" Adam said before getting up and adorning his Turk uniform. 'I'm ready.'
Well, that concludes the third part of The Turk, tune in next chapter when we learn more about the characters so far, which much drinking...that's about it, cyas. Oh yeah...please review
Wow, it's been a while, but here comes the third chapter. Thank you to the person who reviewed it April, you gave me the inspiration to continue. I still don't own most of the characters, but I now own two!
