Mako and Reality
Chapter Two
Scorpians and Bombs Don't Mix
As Zack followed his companions through the short street between the gate and Mako Reactor Barrel Entrance, he ran into a ShinRa Panther. For him, this was nothing, because he was in SOLDIER. But, the problem was, the fact that he only had two materia orbsequipped. He noted this and sighed. No Restore meant he couldn't get badly hurt. And with a Panther here, that would be sort of hard. The Panther growled at Zack, which triggered Zack to draw out his Buster Sword. Zack ran up to the Panther and tried to do a downward chop onto its skull. The Panther rolled over to the left and pounced onto Zack. He dropped the Buster and fell onto his back. The Panther wanted dinner, so it gnawed at Zack's neck. He was getting badly injured. Not what he needed. He kicked the little kitty off of him and rolled towards the Buster. He grasped the hilt and hopped onto his feet. He sacrificed some life force to the glowing green orb in his sword. In his hands he felt the rush of energy, andwas getting readt toshoot a beam of ice at the panther. The ice was forming in his hands and he felt the energy drain. His life force lost a little energy and gave it to the materia. The ice flew out at the panther and hit it dead on. It formed into a giant snowflake and killed it. The Panther fell onto its side and stopped breathing. Zack wandered up to it and grabbed a bag filled with 130 gil. What gil was doing on a ShinRa Panther, was kinda weird. But, hey...Gil is Gil...Zack stood up and fastened his Buster onto his back then, grabbed a potion he found on one of the guards. Hedrank some, and felt ten times better. Some cuts and bruises healed and he continued into the Reactor to meet up on the Bridge with the other AVALANCHE members.
In the Reactor, Wedge was waiting on the other side, near their exit. Zack ran up to the fat man, "Where's everybody else?"
"Up there," Wedge said, referring to the other door at the other side of the bridge, "Better hurry up. Barret hates it when people are late."
Zack nodded and continued onwards. 'Memo to self, Stay on Barret's good side.' Zack thought to himself. He opened the door to reveal an angry black man, with a machine gun attached to his arm, tapping his foot. 'Shit...'
"What the hell took ya so damn long!" The black man said. He was most likely Barret, "Come on, You an' me are gonna take out the core ourselves. I'm Barret. An' you're Zack, right?"
"Yeah..." Zack replied, "I know this place inside out."
"Then, let's get a fucking move on god dammit!" Barret yelled, ticked off. Zack nodded and walked up to Jessie. She nodded and ran to a pad.
"Code deciphered," she said. Biggs ran in followed by Jessie, Zack, then Barret. Barret was mumbling something about 'Teef', 'old friend', and 'asshole'.
Zack shrugged and nodded at Biggs. He ran up to the next pad and said, "Code deciphered." The first door closed behind them and the next door was about to. Barret jumped through, but the door closed on him, making him stuck. He was holding it open, which made Zack chuckle. Jessie hopped on his back and rolled into the next room. Biggs did the same. Zack did it too, but when he jumped on his back, he made sure to make it hurt. Barret then chose to yell a hell lot of curses.
Zack plugged his ears while Jessie and Biggs pulled him out. Biggs stayed behind while Barret, Zack, and Jessie went into the elevator. Jessie stood near the door.
"Push that button over there," Jessie ordered. Zack nodded and went over to the button and pushed the bottom one. The elevetor started up and headed down.
"You see, this Mako that ShinRa is-
"Shut up, you big bear. You told me the 'Mako and ShinRa' speech eight times already, so just shut the freaking hell up!" Zack bursted out. Barret just stood silent.
"DON'T FUCKIN' TELL ME WHEN TO SHUT UP! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, SPIKE! I'LL JUST SET THE DAMN BOMB AND TIE YOU UP NEXT TO IT AND SET UP A LAWN CHAIR TO WATCH YOU BLOW UP! I DON'T CARE IF I DIE WITH YOU! I'LL BE HAPPY JUST KNOWING YOU BLEW INTO BITS AND I WAS THERE TO WATCH IT!" Barret exploded. Jessie shivered and Zack fell backwards and scrambled to a corner.
"We're here..." Jessie muttered. Barret walked out and Jessie followed. Zack stood up.
"Holy...Shit..." Zack spat out. He ran out to find them. He found Jessie running down a huge staircase and Barret walking down it. He ran behind Barret and shoved him down the stairs.
"You're too slow, Mr. Tough Guy," Zakc said, closely following the big rollig ball of Barret. Barret starting yelling like a maniac.
"WHEN I STOP ROLLING, SPIKE, I'M GONNA MURDER YOU, YOU FUCKIN' PIECE OF SHIT!" Barret yelling falling down another flight of stairs. Jessie opened the door at the bottom and was about to walk in.
"Wait! Let the big black man go first!" Zack yelled. Jessie turned and Barret rolled through. In the next room, Barret fell through a gap in the wall.
"FUCK!" Barret yelled, falling. Jessie came to the gap, and jumped it. Zack followed. Jessie jumped on the ladder and climbed down.
From the bottom she yelled, "Press the CONFIRM button to jump onto a ladder and use the Directional Arrows to climb up and down."
"What in the fucking hell are you talking about?" Zack asked, confused.
"I...Don't...Know..." Jessie replied. Zack shrugged and climbed down the ladder. Jessie stayed behind. He ran down two pipes and climbed down two more ladders to reach the bottom, and Barret.
"Hey, Barret. How'ya doin'?" He asked.
"HELP ME UP! LET'S GO SET THE FUCKING BOMB!" Barret fumed. Zack helped Barret up and they continued down this bridge and to a Mako Surpressing Core, "Set, the bomb Spike!"
"Shouldn't you do it?" Zack asked.
"No! I'm keeping watch."
"Fine...Fine..." Zack replied. He kneeled down and grabbed a bomb out of his pack. He placed it to the Mako Surpressing core and set the Ten Minute Denonation code. '08937.'
'Wait! This isn't just a reactor!'
"Shut it, Sephy!" Zack yelled.
'Sorry...Watch out!'
"Huh!" Zack turned to Barret, who was staring at a robotic Scorpian. The Red Scorpian grabbed the bomb and attached it to itself. The two AVALANCHE members looked at each other and said the same thing.
"Holy Shit..."
END OF CHAPTER!
R&R...This is pretty slow but it'll speed up. And Zack yelling at Sephiroth? You'll find out why.
