2 Years later...

A red haired man was walking down one of the many corridors in the old ShinRa Inc building; behind him were a blond lady and a bald man.

"Reno, are you sure we should be doing this?" The blond girl asked, slightly shaking.

"Do you have a better idea, Elena? We have to do this!" The red head replied.

"Don't be afraid Elena..." The bald man said.

"Don't be afraid! That wouldn't be a problem if the Angels---" The blond woman stopped in her tracks.

"That's why we're doing this Elena..." The red head said softly.

"I wish Tseng were here..." The blond said, nearly in tears.

The red haired man stopped. "This is it, they should be in here."

"You sure you want to go through with this, Reno?" Elena asked, one last time.

Reno got out an old key-card and slid it through the electronic lock. The metal rusty door opened slowly and loudly. A terrible loud creaking sound could be heard, as it scraped open. Behind the door was a lab, one that clearly hadn't been used in years. The lab was dark, and everything seemed to be broken, and gathering dust.

"Rude, you check over there, Elena, you over there." Reno ordered, pointing to two desks. Rude and Elena did as they we're told, and started scrounging through the desks.

"Reno... I think I found something." The larger bald man said, holding up some old files.

"Great!" Reno said, snatching the papers out of Rude's hands. Reno's eyes scanned over the papers, and a smile grew on his face.

"Reno, what is it?" The blond girl asked.

"This is what we have been looking for! Files on AVELANCHE! This has all there weaknesses, strengths, everything!" Reno said, not even bothering to keep quiet. "This calls for a celebration drink!" Reno grinned, Elena giggled a little. Even the expressionless Rude was wearing the faintest hint of a smile on his face.

"Lets get out of here, before the Angels decide to show up." Reno said, still grinning ear to ear.

"Your not going anywhere"

"Oh no..." Reno whispered. "The Angels..."

A bright green flash blinded the room. Reno fumbled to put on the black sunglasses. When the light cleared, Tifa Lockheart was standing, glaring at the three ex-TURKS. Tifa opened her eyes that should have been a beautiful reddish color, but we're bright green.

"You fools... Why do you bother? You cannot defeat Lord Sephiroth." Tifa said, her unreal green eyes peering through their minds. Then, without warning, Tifa raised her hand slowly and pointed a finger at the ex-TURKS.

"Run!" Reno yelled, as all three of the ex-TURKS dived out of the way of a blast of power from Tifa. Tifa spun around, her loose hair falling in her face. Reno and Rude were hiding behind desks about two meters apart from each other. Elena was on the other said of the room, backed up to a wall, dead silent.

"Rude, we have to help Elena!" Reno whispered, but loud enough for Rude to hear.

Rude nodded, and they both jumped up and opened fire on Tifa. Powerful gunshots hit Tifa, but the girl didn't even flinch, and they had seemed to have very little effect. Unfortunately, she did feel it. Tifa turned around to face Reno and Rude, glaring.

"Now!" Reno yelled, and Reno and Rude jumped opposite sides of Tifa. Elena got the message, and came out; her shaking hands trying to hold her gun steady as she pointed it towards Tifa.

Tifa grinned. "Humph, this is a waste of my time." Tifa flipped her hair back and put her other hand on her hip.

"Die!" Reno screamed as he fired multiple shots at Tifa, but again, she wasn't affected, the bullets just slowed her down. One of the bullets however, tore a hole through her top near her shoulder.

"You jerk!" Tifa screamed, as she shot another green blast of light at Reno. Reno jumped out of the way as the desk behind him blew up. Reno ran, dodging powerful blasts from Tifa, with Rude and Elena shooting at her.

"That's ENOUGH!" Tifa shouted, Rude and Elena we're blown back from the sudden blast of energy from Tifa. Reno was thrown into a wall, dropping his gun.

"I've had enough of this, I'm out of here. You on the other hand, will not leave this building, bye." Tifa winked that evil green eye, and jumped out the window.

"Elena, Rude!" Reno called out for his friends. The ShinRa. Inc building was collapsing; they need to get out of there now. Reno looked around everywhere for his friends, but they we're nowhere to be seen.

A huge chunk of the roof fell right in front of Reno, and the rest of the building started to fall around him.

"Damn, I gotta get out of here!" Reno said to himself, as he ran through the corridors of the ShinRa. Inc building. "Rude, Elena where are you two?! You better be safe..."

Reno dodged pieces of the building trying to crush him, leaping over and ducking under things while running. "Finally, the exit!" Reno said to himself, as he used the last of his energy to sprint out the huge broken doors at the front of ShinRa. Inc.

Reno dived out the door just in time, because just as he hit the ground a there was a huge explosion at the top of the building. Reno jumped just in time as a chuck of cement smashed on the ground.

"Shit, I gotta get out of here!" Reno yelled, and ran into the slums of Midgar, hoping that Rude and Elena made it out too...
