* A/N: No reviews XD but that's okay. I'll keep writing anyway. I have another story in
the works. I'm brainstorming it right now...but it should be coming soon. I hope you enjoy
this chapter ^_^ *

## Tifa's POV ##
We all looked around to see where the noise was coming from. I really didn't like where
the whole thing was going. I didn't like the room we were in. It reminded me too much of
the mako reactor my father was killed in. It didn't even look that much like it but the
memory still came to mind. It was a cold place. I figured we must be underground
somewhere. "Where are we?" I asked.

"Good question," Barret answered. We all looked around and then one by one everyone
looked at each other.

"Do you think this is it?" Carter said.

"This place is giving me the creeps," Yuffie started, "so it has to be."

"Oh lord, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" Carter screamed at the top of his lungs.

I gulped as I jolted around. Standing on a metal walkway on another level was no other
than Prizmle himself. His holy white hair cascaded down his back in a loose ponytail. His
green eyes could burn a hole through anything. His tan features made him look exotic. I
straightened my posture from the fighting stance I was in because I didn't think he was
going to attack. He began to walk around the walkway. Every time he turned a corner the
metal would squeak slightly underneath his feet. All was silent..except for Carter's endless
taunting.

"C'mon widdit!" Carter said motioning for Prizmle to come down to our level. Prizmle
only half smiled and continued walking. My eyes followed him around the room and he
would glance over at me from time to time. I won't lie, I found him handsome. It wasn't
usual for me to fall for the bad guy but somehow I was attracted to his features. He had cruel
intentions for us no doubt, but we've defeated Sephiroth...I was sure we could defeat him.
He looked at me with an evil grin. I stopped thinking and just looked at him with a cold stare. He
disappeared through a doorway and walked into our level through another.

"Oh, NOW you're ready to bring it," Carter said. God, this guy was stupid. Taunting your
enemy is as bad as losing to him.

"Bring it?" he said with a cocky smile. "My friend, the fun hasn't even started yet." And
with that said he left and ninjas covered in black clothing jumped down from the ceiling.

"Oh, perfect," I groaned getting into my fighting stance. We were encircled but not for
long. We all started to attack fiercely. Limit break or not, we let everything go. I heard
limit breaks everywhere after a while. They were beginning to wear us out. I used meteor strike and
knocked out about four or five ninjas. I wanted to build up for final heaven so I fought
multiple ninjas at a time. I looked over at Yuffie and, I swear, she was smiling the whole
time. She was a true ninja and she didn't see this as a fight. It was play time for her. I
shook my head and punched some guy square in the jaw. I did a spin kick to someone
beside me and elbowed someone from behind. I kicked someone in the face and then spun
around to see who was left to fight. There wasn't many but I was itching to use final
heaven. I did attack after attack and every ninja that was left was on the ground in pain.I
looked over to see Cid using the highwind on about six ninjas. Everyone else had just
finished also. Yuffie, however, was the only one who was dusting herself off after
dragging all of her ninjas into a neat pile by where she was fighting.

"Not that rusty after all," Carter said admiring himself.

"Hello? I'm the one who was fighting for you while you dodged attacks," Barret yelled.

Carter shot him a look. "Don't be jealous," he said. "Green isn't a good color on a black
man."

Barret muttered something under his breath. I snickered to myself. Carter couldn't get
along with anyone, could he?

"C'mon, we gotta get out of here before Prizmle wises up and gives us more of a
challenge," Cid reminded us. We all searched for a way out of the place but the only place
we could go was down another chute. We all decided to be adventerous and attempted to
slide down.

"Hmm.." a voice said. There was no doubt in my mind that is was Prizmle again. "It's just
not that easy to escape." The voice laughed and then faded away. We heard swishing
noises all around us. We all jerked our heads in different directions only to find more
sources of the noises. The swishing had a beat to it. Swish, swish, swash. Swish, swish,
swash. After a few minutes of hearing the swishes they just stopped. All was silent around
us. A rumbling noise came from the chutes and one by one ninjas dressed in white fell out.
As soon as one slid off of the end of the chute and landed on his feet another was close
behind him. Mind you, there were twenty or more chutes around us so if you times the
number of chutes by about fifteen people you'll see we were clearly outnumbered. I had a
feeling these fighters were first class seeing how Prizmle didn't send THEM out to fight us
first. The ninjas stood in a line facing us. We all got into our fighting stances again but we
were almost out of breath. I could tell that everyone else (besides maybe Yuffie) was just
as tired as I was but still willing to fight.

"Let's do this guys," I yelled to everyone but not moving from where I was. I mentally
picked which ninjas I wanted to fight. A couple seconds later the fighting began. I flipped
forward and landed on top of one man's shoulders. He grabbed a hold of my legs and
tugged them so I would lose my balance. I punched a couple of men in the process of falling over
and then twisted my feet out of his grip. He tried to trip me once I had landed on the ground
but I jumped over his foot and kicked him in the face. I jumped on his fallen body to swing my arm around and hit
someone. He ducked and then popped back up to punch me. He succeeded and I fell to
the ground. I saw many scrambling feet so I picked a random foot and swung it (and the
body it belonged to) toward the man who had punched me. Both men fell to the ground
while I hastily got up and proceeded to fight more men. My limit break was building up. It
felt like the right time to use it because I needed a couple seconds to regain more strength.
I grabbed two ninjas by their collars, one in each hand. I lifted them off of the ground and
jumped up into the heavens before slamming them down. Meteor strike is a girl's best
friend at times like this. The impact on them was hard enough to make the ground shake
and more ninjas fell to the ground from the strike. Some even fell where Cid and Barret
were fighting (and they were about 30 feet away). I waited as three men came running towards me. They all jumped when they
were close enough to reach me and I quickly ducked under them and kept my body to the ground. I
got up and turned around fast enough to see them hit the ground. I laughed and then
kicked one of them where it hurts. I slapped him and then one of his hands grabbed his
balls and the other one grabbed his cheek. I flipped him around in front of the two other
men so that his shoes would hit the men a couple of times. It worked and they fell
backwards at the same time. I could feel foot steps behind me so I pretended I was about
to turn around and then turned the other way at the last minute. As he lunged for me I
kicked him in the back. I was getting dizzy so I had to hold onto a pipe nearby to catch my
breath. I hung my head down and took three good inhales and exhales. I looked up to see
a foot hit me in the face. I hit the series of pipes behind me and could feel my head
throbbing with pain. My upper lip was bleeding and when I had fallen my dress strap had ripped.
That was it. I got up and gave him an upper cut. When he tried to
strike back I ducked and kicked my right foot up landing in the coccyx area. He yelped
and then fell backwards with his hands on his lower back. "Don't mess with a lady's
belongings," I whispered standing over his weak body.

"Catastrophe!" I heard Barret yell as he jumped in the air with his gun arm ready.

"Aw $%&&$% no," Carter said moving out of his way.

I looked over to see Cid using dragon drive on his last group of enemies. Yuffie had just
finished using doom of the living and that wiped out the rest of the ninjas in the room. She
yipped in happiness and started dragging the ninjas into a pile again. I could see everyone
was tired and just wanted to get out of here as I did. We all went to the chute we were at
before and slid down before Prizmle could say or do anything. We weren't wimps, we had
just had enough for one day and we didn't want to be captured due to our low MP. We fell
into a utility closet in the back of a Chinese restaurant. We snuck out the back door and
walked back to Carter's apartment.

* A/N: Yayness...another chapter completed. The next chapter will be taking place at the
same time this chapter was...remember, Cloud fell through another chute when he fell out
of one. *
