The Turk
Three Characters owned now, but Square-Enix still owns the rest. This is a slightly shorter chapter, but it serves its purpose.
Part 5 – Bullet proof
"Such power, impressive," Adam said, his upper body burned and gashed by the shattered glass. He was too stunned momentarily to notice that he was falling at an exaggerated pace towards the ground. "Shit, time for the brakes!"
"And as I was saying we could clearly increase our...AHH!!" Elena screamed in mid-sentence as he landed in front of herself and Tseng, using his right hand to balance himself against the floor before falling over backwards.
"Man what a rush," he said, sitting there picking bits of glass off his torso.
"Adam...what happened this time?" Tseng asked, hands on hips looking up towards the smashed window, it sticking out like a sore thumb.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I'm alright?" Atonia gasped at two thousand miles a second as she rushed out of the front entrance (gotta love that elevator speed).
"Yeah I'm fine. Tseng, meet Atonia, what happened this time," he answered climbing to his feet. "Her magic power is incredible; fighting skills could do with some work though."
"Oh really? It's nice to meet you Atonia...SOLDIER?" Tseng asked whilst shaking her hand and inspecting her physique. She stood at about 5'6 with and averages frame, and some evidence of muscle.
"There you are, we've been looking for you," Sephiroth called as he walked out of the front with Cloud and Zack shortly following. "Let's go, we have new orders."
"But I want to stay here, I want to see if he's okay," Atonia pleaded, but she realised it was futile against someone liked General Sephiroth. "Alright, I'm coming sir."
Adam walked back inside, brushing off more glass, Elena and Tseng either side of him. "Looks like the medical room for me."
"Right...Adam has a girlfriend, Adam has a girlfriend," Tseng chanted as they approached the lift.
"You know I would've expected that off Elena Tseng, I'm very disappointed in your homosexuality," he responded in mock anger
"I'm sorry," he pouted as they ascended, picking a glass shard off Adam's back. The elevator stopped and Adam stepped out to gets his gear and get himself patched up.
"Remember we start the mission in an hour, so get back to the front entrances by then," Elena reminded.
"Ma'am yes Ma'am!" Adam sarcastically shouted back.
WARNING! Forrest Gump moment approaching
The hour soon passed. He was sat on a bench in the lobby with a small box in his hands when a suited man sat down next to him. He turned to the stranger. "Chocolate?"
"No thanks" The man responded.
"Okay...my mum always said life was like a box of chocolates...and how do chocoboes do that and keep walking at the same time," he said. As he saw the rest of the Turks approaching he tossed the box away and went over to them.
"Right, Adam and Keiti, since this is both your first missions, you'll be working with Vincent, understood?" Tseng explained. The other party being Reno, Rude and Elena obviously. "Your mission is simple, we want to start using the mythril mine again for a short period to start developing weapons with it, your job is to go in there and make it safe." He continued. "...that's about it, good luck to you."
"Say, why are we doing this and no the Shinra army?" Adam asked as they were being driven to location in a truck.
"The Shinra army are incompetent, and intelligence indicates strong monster activity in the mines," Vincent answered. "Got any threes?"
"Go fish."
The truck came to a delayed halt as the driver peered into the back "This is as far as I can take you, you'll have to go across the marsh on foot."
"Great...have fun with the Midgar Zolom before we begin the mission," Reno rolled his eyes.
Everyone bailed out of the back of the truck, and all apart from Reno and Adam straightened their uniforms. It was only a short way into the stink infested marsh before the giant serpent reared it's scaly head, hissing furiously at the strangers.
"Everyone get ready" Reno barked, igniting his Turk rod. He pointed it in the direction of the Zolom, attempting to encase it in the golden energy of the Turk Pyramid, but the creature easily broke free.
The giant snake roared as it cast Trine, which sent every member recoiling with electrical damage, and pushing Rude to his limit break.
"This is real electricity...Grand Spark!" He struck the ground and a trial of electricity sped towards the Zolom. The trail erupted into a cascade that shocked the creature, injuring it and sending it into a fit of rage.
"Now is the time to finish it off, everyone attack it!" Reno ordered as him and Adam leapt in unison, striking the creature with their respective weapons before vaulting off. Vincent aimed his rife and fired, catching the Zolom between the eyes as Adam showered it with bullets. The monster recoiled in pain before Rude and Elena attacked it with gloved knuckles. Keiti then skewered it right in the head for the finishing blow. The serpent crashed to the ground defeated.
"Oh yeah! Nothing stands in our way!" Adam said as he loaded a fresh clip into his sub-machine gun.
"That was nothing, these mines will be infested by now," Rude said in response.
"Bring 'em on! I'm ready for them!" he jeered
About an hour later
"Man this suck ass!" Adam yelled as his party of himself, Keiti and Vincent defeated another group of enemies. Almost an hour of constant fighting, exhaustion was starting to kick in. Yet another group of monsters had entered the field, and they decided to escape and rest rather than risk it. All three ran in the same direction, expecting to find the other three but only found more tunnels. Pretty soon they all got separated, or maybe it was just Adam, but he soon found himself in a medium sized room that had been excavated, rocky outcrops restricting movement, the only exit now being cut off by monsters that were in pursuits.
He turned and swung at the nearest creature, a crab like monster which he caught straight across the head, killing it outright; its blood splattered the wall. Two small dragon-like creatures with large, almost fairy like wings entered into the room, forcing him into the back. These two were not like fairies however, as they bathed him in flames, giving him just enough time to cover his face. He dropped to the ground, his clothes burnt and smoking. His weapons lying at his sides, the fight clearly drained from him. He thought he was done for until he heard battle cries and swords cutting through flesh. When he opened his eyes Atonia was standing over him, looking at his wounds.
"What are you doing here?" he murmured
"I said I wanted to see how you were...my god, any normal man would be dead, are you bullet proof or something?" She replied.
The moment would have been heart-felt if not for the large, more ferocious non-winged dragon creature bursting into the room
"Stay there...I'm at my limit," she said to him before rising for the encounter.
"It won't be enough to kill him...besides, so am I," he grinned, blood trickling from his mouth as he rose, sword in both hands aimed straight at the monster
The red flames surrounded them both. Atonia unleashed her Maelstrom Super Ball, which went hurtling towards the foe. Adam used his Rapid Blade limit, whish passed through the large concentration of lighting, super charging the beams. The beast was hit by the beams and didn't even have chance to think before the ball hit him. It was thrown hard against a wall and dropped dead in a charred heap.
"Hehehe, we showed him who's boss," Adam said as the pain overcame him and he slumped to his knees.
"You Turks really are insane aren't you?" Atonia joked as she squatted beside him, only to look up and find the rest of the Turks and her team, all of the Turks looking very beaten and fatigued.
"Mission accomplished, time to go back to HQ," Reno said as everyone gathered up their equipment and slowly walked, or limped out of the mines.
That's it for chapter 5, sorry this ones taken long but I had some loose ends to tie up...and I've started playing FF7 again . In case you were wondering about the title, I started writing this one whilst listening to the Red Hot Chilli Pepper's Fortune Faded song, in which Anthony Kiedis sings "Come on God do I seem bullet proof?"
Next time in The Turk: We learn what all the Turks do in their off time, and some are rather...unique to say the least.
