:----------:

"What do you mean?" Rikku said, putting her hands on her hips. She stood beside Wakka, her foot tapping slightly. Reno's head tilted to a ninety degree angle.

"Yuffie?" his eyes widened. Sephiroth frowned.

"That's not Yuffie..." Sephiroth said from where he stood in the corner.

"Why isn't it?!" Sephiroth sighed. Reno thought that Rikku was Yuffie, that wouldn't be possible unless you were high.

"Because this is not Wutai." Reno looked over to Sephiroth. He blinked a few times, then looked back to Wakka and Rikku. He blinked again.

"You wouldn't happen to be Cid, would you?" Reno asked Wakka. Wakka's eyes grew wide.

"You know my dad?!" Rikku asked, jumping up and down. Reno's head bobbed as she bounced. He shook it off.

"Highwind had kids, I don't believe it..." he smacked his head.

"We're back!" Tidus said cheerfully. Lulu, Yuna, and Kihmari were behind him. Reno blinked at them. Then started muttering to himself. He pointed to Lulu.

"Tifa Lockheart," he pointed to Tidus. "Cloud Strife," he pointed to Yuna. "Aeris Gainsborough," he pointed to Kihmari. "Red XIII." Of course, he had no idea that he was speaking loud enough for everyone to here him. Then he pointed to Rikku. "Yuffie Kisaragi," then he pointed to Wakka. "Cid Highwind." he pointed at air. "And Vin..." he looked around. Then blinked. "Where's Vincent?" Everyone just blinked. He frowned.

"This is not AVALANCHE," Sephiroth said through clenched lips.

"They couldn't be, or else you'd be nothing but a dead carcass rotting in the streets of Midgar." Sephiroth rubbed his eyes.

"What's AVALANCHE?" Lulu inquired. Reno perked up.

"AVALANCHE is an elite team of rebels plotting to destroy all of ShinRa." Reno smiled at his wonderous wave of smartness.

"Did you happen to not pay attention at the Sister Ray incident?" Reno blinked a few times and just stared at Sephiroth, who sighed. "The Diamond WEAPON attacked Midgar." Reno nodded. "The Sister Ray cut through the WEAPON and through my barrier at Northern Crater." Reno nodded. "President Shinra was already dead at this point."

"Actually, it was a long time ago..." Reno nodded.

"Helps to know that..." Reno nodded. "WEAPON fired upon Midgar and killed President Rufus."

"Your point being..." Reno rolled his hands. Sephiroth sighed.

"There is no heir to the ShinRa and the family was killed, and all the mako reactors shut down." Reno blinked a few times. "Therefor, ShinRa has been destroyed." he blinked some more.

"Then how are the Turks still around?" Sephiroth shrugged.

"I'm not sure." Reno frowned.

"Why'd you call Sephiroth a phsyco?" Rikku asked. Reno stared at her.

"Do you know what he did?!" Rikku shook her head.

"No." Reno grew infuriated.

"Let me explain..." Rikku sat criss-cross on the floor. Reno shrugged."Sephiroth was killed in a town called Nibelheim five years ago by a man named Cloud Strife." Rikku nodded as Tidus tilted his head, then sat down next to her. "His body became imprisoned in mako and was somehow moved to the Northern crater." Tidus raised a hand. Reno blinked at it. "Yes," he was still starting at it.

"Can you show us pictures of the people?" Reno sighed and pulled out and envelope from his rumpled suit. He handed it to Tidus. The first picture was of Nibleheim, and Cloud with blood all over his ShinRa uniform, in the next one it was a room of pods with a dude with black spiky hair on top of one- bleeding heavily- and a girl with brown hair was carefully placed in a corner- a large wound across her chest. Everyone looked at the pictures. Then the more recent ones came up.

"The more recent ones are from the security cameras in the ShinRa building." It showed a burly black man with a gun for a right arm, a guy with Chocobo-like hair, and the same black-haired girl but a lot more matured.

"Continuing..." he coughed and the people looked up at him. "After returning to Midgar, Cloud joined up with AVALANCHE. They destroyed a few reactors and caused some major damage." there was a picture of a town square with filth everywhere, along with some bodies, and a guy with a bald head shaking his head. "ShinRa caught on and had them captured when they tried to rescue Aeris..." Rikku raised her hand. Reno sighed. "Yes?"

"Who's Aeris?" Reno let his head drop, but then quickly picked it up. The next picture was of a girl in a pink dress and a red vest, shuddering in the corner of a seemingly glass tube while a balding man in a white coat tapped on the glass.

"The woman in pink." Rikku nodded and flipped the picture over. It read: Hojo and Aeris. She blinked at it. "Anyway, after rescuing Red XIII and Aeris." The next picture was of three cells, in the one to the left was Aeris, laying on the bed, in the middle was the brunette on top of the bed and the blonde up against the wall, the right there was a big burly man using the wall to support himself and then a red cat-like thing next to him. Yuna raised her hand, she was sitting next to tidus. Reno looked at it. "...yes..."

"Who are those people?" Reno sighed.

"From left to right it's Aeris, Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Red XIII." Yuna nodded. "A 2000 year old test subject somehow escaped a certain scientist's lab. Thus resulting in the break out of AVALANCHE. When they reached the top floor, the President had been stabbed with Sephiroth's Masamune." he looked over at Sephiroth, who remained his composure, then back at the group in front of him. "AVALANCHE looked for Sephiroth everywhere. They met up with a stuffed mog and mechanical cat, and a hyperactive- materia-stealing ninja named Yuffie." There was a picture of Yuffie standing next to Cloud, holding a victory sign over her head while Cloud was probably sighing.

"That's Yuffie?" Reno nodded. Rikku looked closer at the picture. "What kind of a weapon is she using?"

"It's called a 4-point Shuriken." Rikku nodded. "When they arrived in Nibelheim, they found it rebuilt and teeming with Sephiroth clones. After meeting the quiet Vincent Valentine and lustrous Cid Highwind," a picture if Cid steering the tiny bronco, grumbling. Then a picture of Vincent standing on the Tiny Bronco's wing. "They went into the Temple of the Ancients a little after we did. We found the room that held the black materia and Tseng ordered us out. While we were gone, Sephiroth slashed up our boss." Reno pointed an accusing thumb over to Sephiroth.

"Would it be helpful if I told you that he got in my way?" Reno gaped at Sephiroth.

"No it wouldn't! Tseng almost died there!" He coughed at turned back to the group. "Ahem, after the mechanical cat gave his life to retrieve the black materia, Sephiroth stole it. Aeris went and prayed for Holy... yes..."

"Did she really have to pray, just for Holy?" Yuna asked. Reno nodded.

"It's complicated." Reno shrugged.

"Meaning he has no clue what's going on." Sephiroth said from the corner. "You also forgot a few key meetings between me and them." Reno blinked. "On the ShinRa boat, in the ShinRa mansion, and the Temple of the Ancients." Reno sighed.

"This is supposed to be a quick version!" Sephiroth sighed.

"No matter how you tell it, there is no quick way." Reno sighed and went back to talking to the group.

"After Aeris was stabbed by Sephiroth," he looked accusingly at the ex-general, who only shrugged. "AVALANCHE went to Northern Crater, I'm not sure how the Black Materia returned to them though..."

"I dropped it." Reno snickered.

"I didn't know you military types dropped stuff." he snickered again.

"Only so Cloud would give it to my body, that was imprisoned in the mako." Reno continued to snicker, then he looked back at the group.

"Soon afterwards, Sephiroth summoned Meteor. Sephiroth was stopping Holy from working, so after the Sister Ray incident, AVALANCHE made it's way to Northern Crater."

"Only after destroying the WEAPONs." Reno blinked at him.

"How do you know these things?" Sephiroth shrugged.

"I keep myself well informed, as did Jenova." Reno frowned. Then continued to tell the story.

"He was killed and Meteor was destroyed!" he jumped up and down and flashed a victory sign.

"He really reminds me of Seymour now!" Rikku was now jumping up and down, she handed the envelope back to Reno. Reno stuffed it back into his pocket.

"Except he hasn't asked Yuna to marry him!" Tidus said, jumping up. This people are idiots. Lulu sighed and rested her forehead in her hand.

(Back in Midgar, near the never-ending hole that leads to Spira)

"Reno sure is taking his time." Rude nodded. "I hope Tseng doesn't get mad..."

"Where's RENO?! It doesn't take that long to get something from a rooftop, does it?" Elena shrugged.

"... maybe he's stuck..." Tseng grumbled and started to climb. Rude and Elena close behind him.

A/N: Okay, so I said that I was going to make Sephiroth and Reno friends at the end of the chapter... then I realized that wouldn't be nearly as funny if they got in an argument... heh, heh. I'm losin' my mind here! Reveiw, reveiw... I beg of thee! )Goes on hands and knees( actually... that's a big dramatic. )Gets up, brushes self off( The joke I leave you with:

Scarlet and Sephiroth sat at a table in the ShinRa cafeteria. Both eating some food.

Scarlet: Sephiroth, could you spell puci backwards?

Sephiroth: ... huh?

Scarlet: spell p-u-c-i backwards.

Sephiroth: Alright. I-C-U-P.

Scarlet: )blushes( you dog... )scoots closer to him( ... would you like to see more?

Sephiroth: ... )scoots to the other end of the bench(

Scarlet: )follows(

Sephiroth: )runs away(

Scarlet: Humph... oh, well... the chase is on!

A/N: Okay, it was kind of the same joke last chapter, but I'm working with my brain. My brain, you know how it gets... all strange-like... that made no sense. Review for me... and if you send me a flame... You will DIE! Muahahahahahaha!
