Chapter 9
Cosmo Canyon
As they near Cosmo Canyon they are seen by the Turks who hide, knowing that they weren't seen. Nanaki meets them at the gate.
"Why have you come here, planet destroyers?" he asks.
"What do you mean, planet destroyers?" Fia asks.
"You wish to destroy the planet. You are no better than Sephiroth."
"We are not trying to destroy the planet. We are just trying to stop an Ex-Turk from taking over and creating a new government like Shin-Ra. The Turks and Rufus are trying to set Shin-Ra up again."
"Rufus was killed when weapon attacked Junon," Nanaki says.
"Not according to the Turks," Eleanor says.
"And you believed them?" Nanaki asks in disbelief.
"Well yes, I guess we did," Sarah says.
"Never trust a Turk," Nanaki says. "Although I did believe what Reno said about you wanting to destroy the planet."
"Maybe you should use your own advice then Nanaki," Fia says. "Can we come in now?"
"Fine, but be warned. The Turks were here this morning but no one has seen them leave." Nanaki runs off, back into Cosmo Canyon. The group head up to the inn to rest the night. During the night the Turks sneak out. The next morning they head to the Materia shop and by a Revive Materia. Soon they hear shouting coming from outside Cosmo Canyon. Reno is trying to kill someone. The two of them are fighting. Reno cast an Ice spell on the boy, who retaliates with a Fire 2 spell. The boy attacks Reno with his Spear. Reno attacks the boy with his Electro-Mag Rod. The boy charges at Reno with his spear but Reno blocks the attack. Reno attacks with his Neo Turk Light. The boy stumbles and falls to the ground. Reno moves in and makes the final blow but Fia jumps in between them, blocking the attack with her sword.
"Stay out of this Fia," Reno warns.
"Or what?" she questions and Fia attacks with Bolt, knocking Reno back. Reno charges at Fia but Fia blocks his attack once again.
"Sword sweep," Fia calls and uses her limit break. Reno falls back holding his shoulder, blood seeping through between his fingers. Reno runs off.
"Thank you," the boy says. "My names Mike."
"Hi. You haven't seen anyone in a clock near here have you?" Fia asks.
"Yeah, someone came here in a black clock and left in a red one. Said his name was Simon."
"We had better get going. Where was he headed?"
"Nibelheim." Fia and the other start to leave. "Hey wait, I'm going with you." Mike takes Eleanor's place and swaps her Materia to him. They head out to Nibelheim.
