AN: Time to actually continue a story for a change. PLEASE review?

"All right open your eyes Tifa." Cloud pulled his hands away from her eyes to let her see the, um, crappiness that was their new home. Tifa began to frown immediately. Who knows why, maybe it was the fact that even though Cloud kept her eyes closed for hours to pick up the place it was still a mess, maybe it was the fact that it was in Nibelheim, or maybe it was the fact that the Turks were sleeping on the couch.

"What the hell! Damn Turks. All right wake up and get out of here." Cloud had his hands resting on his Buster sword while Tifa already had her gloves ready.

":Yawn: Hey Cloud! What's with that look, aren't ya glad to see us?" Reno inquired, still looking clueless. Cloud looked more confused than ever, his soldier instincts told him to go ahead and kill him without a moment's hesitation, but lately Cloud had become more of a thinker than before.

"Um, Reno, we do live in the same world right? I don't ever remember us being friends." Reno was the one looking really confused now.

"Whaddya mean? It's not like we've ever gotten into fist fights before, and we see each other all the time." Cloud's hand smacked his forehead.

"We haven't gotten in to fist fights before because Rude is the only one who just uses bare fists. And we see each other all the time because YOU guys are trying to kill us!" Reno looked like a small kid when they find out Santa isn't real, he's just a hobo who climbs down the chimney and has an affair with their mom.

"You mean, we're not friends?" Reno started to go all teary eyed right about then.

"Um, Elena, could you please explain?" Cloud was getting more confused by the second. If he reached his limit, his soldier instincts would take over and kill everyone in the room.

"Debriefing drugs. Reno was classified as hell bent on trying to get revenge on you. To make sure that he didn't give away vital secrets upon becoming a prisoner, or get killed, he was heavily drugged to forget everything. Unfortunately to large a dose was used, and so he's still drugged." Everyone looked over to see Reno talking to a girl on a calendar picture.

"Hey baby, I know other people only like you for looks, but I, respect you. C'mere and give me a kiss." What transpired next was strange, disturbing, which is why it won't be mentioned.

"Is there a cure?" Cloud asked, full of hope.

"Heavy drinking, the hangover will wash out all the toxins from his body." Rude answered.

"Great, so either we have a drunken Reno, or a drugged Reno." This was just not Cloud's day.

"Excuse me." All the people in the room turned to face the newcomer in the room, well, technically, newcomers. There, standing in the doorway was the silhouette of what appeared to be a man, and a monster with wings and a lump on its head. They stepped out of the doorway to reveal Reeve in a suit and Cait Sith, which was wearing a blue suit and shades, appeared to be holding a gun to Reeve's back.

"Hey Elena, isn't that our new recruit" Reno inquired, the drug wearing off.

"Yup, Cait Sith, what are you doing here?" All the ex-Turks seemed to be confused, since if Cait Sith was here, then that meant Rufus was either stupid enough, or arrogant enough to remove all protection from himself.

"Mandatory vacation." Cait Sith muttered in an uncharacteristic low, baritone voice, while pointing his gun at Reeve.

"Yeah that about sums it up." Reeve looked calm even then despite the gun barrel digging into his back. "Well, Cloud, Tifa, Turks, looks like we're roommates."

"Alright Shera, can I open my goddamn eyes yet!" He quickly opened his eyes and half-gawked, half-glared at the mansion. Cid, although he appeared to be pissed every day, looked extremely pissed after having to hike through the mountains. "It's a fixer-upper."

"Well honey, at least it doesn't have a car going through one of the walls." Shera seemed to have mixed feelings about this. It was exactly what she had promised him, and yet, it seemed like although she was the one who had tricked him, she was the one getting the short end of the deal.

"Let's just go inside and hope I don't have to stab the living shit out of anything." When they got in, they could've sworn the hue of Cid's face matched the paint job on the Red Leader submarine. "WHAT, THE, HELL, ARE ALL OF YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?"

"Technically Cid, we all arrived here on the same day, and none of us have moved in yet, so we'll have to share the place." Tifa always had been a voice of reason.

Vincent lazily pushed the top off his coffin and got out of his make shift bed. His eyes were still filled with the daze that comes with awakening.

: Wakey, wakey, demon bearer.: Vincent complexion soon became one of shock, then realization. He had never quite gotten use to the demons talking to him.

"Shut up Chaos, I don't feel like dealing with you today."

:'Don't feel like it?' Demon bearer, you're losing your touch. If you would just let us out ounce in a while, you would be your same old self.:

"Hell no, I only let you guys out when it is ABSOLOUTLEY necessary. I'm not going to start letting you guys out to get the adrenaline going."

:Shush, I hear something.: After a little while Vincent heard it to. Upstairs a conversation was going on, as well as some yelling. This didn't make any sense unless. 'Oh shit!' The only reason Vincent could think of was if ShinRa decided to retake the mansion. Vincent quickly grabbed a ShinRa gun leftover from the Meteor War, and a couple of flash, and smoke grenades, and charged up the stairs.

While all of this was happening Barret and Marlene had already arrived and gotten the rundown. Vincent finally emerged at the door to the entry way. He quickly glanced around the corner to see the Turks, which confirmed his fears. He pulled out the stopper for the smoke bomb and through it, chemicals mixing together spewing smoke everywhere. Picking up the rifle, he fired a few warning shots at the ceiling. Cloud and co. saw smoke rising from a small object, this was followed by a few warning shots.

"Looks like ShinRa left some surprises in the basement." Reeve and the former and current Turks pulled out pistols, while Barret brought up his gun-arm. They each began firing a few shots each at the figure near the entrance to the next room. Vincent could see through the smoke and saw them bring up their guns. In response he jumped out of the entry way, his feet just missing a collision with the hail of bullets. He quickly threw a flash grenade, and charged forward into the next room.

On Cloud's end they saw an object fly towards them and explode, releasing a bright, and I mean BRIGHT flash of light. When their eyes readjusted, they were greeted with the sight of Vincent, holding his Death Penalty, and a ShinRa rifle at them.

"Oh, so you guys weren't the ShinRa." This was Vincent's only response to the image that he saw as he charged into the room.
