Chapter 21: Confronting Shinra
----------------
The Celsius landed at the north exit in the Al Bhed shop area in the Mi'ihen Highroad. The group quickly, and easily, took out the shooters that gasped when they saw the group and attacked them. Pretty easy for the group, really. Shinra's attendant told him what was going on. Shinra quickly grabbed a silver with red on the sides of the barrel of Shinra's first type of Mako gun. It was like a fusion of a shotgun's handle, and the rest was sniper rifle-like, except it still had a reloading slide, and it was on the thin pipe, which was now below the barrel of the Mako gun, and was near the handle for quick reloading. It was already loaded, he just grabbed some more bullets, just in case. He hid the Mako gun in his heavy brown coat.
"Come on out Shinra!" We know you're in there!" yelled Tidsna, angrily. Shinra came out, and strangely, seemed calm. "You know why we're here..." said Tidus "Uh-huh..." started Shinra "You want answers, right? Fine. Just stop killing my workers." Of course, the group already did, so it didn't matter. "So you thought that by ordering your men to try to kill us, to warn us, to keep quiet, huh?" asked Yudus, her tone suggested that she demanded an answer. "I knew it wouldn't work, I just wanted you dead." Everyone in the group gasped, then they started to get mad. Yuna started to ask the questions.
"Why!" demanded Yuna. "Why what?" asked Shinra "Why did you create Jenova!" demanded Yuna, as she sounded sad and angry, but more sad then angry. "I thought I could build a machine to keep the Mako in track, but I was wrong. I then noticed if I put Mako in fiend blood, it could control the Mako. I also threw in machina to try to control it. But, it had a mind of it's own... and, as you know, it rebelled." Shinra said, his tone was getting more serious now. "Yeah, we know..." said Paine, somewhat angrily. "But, when we beat Jenova's Head, it told us everything Shinra." said Yuna "Figures..." said Shinra, he didn't sound surprised either. "Why are you making guns with Mako shells that will kill anyone and anything on impact!" demanded Vidina. "If anything like Sin shows up again, we'll be ready, and it'll go down easily" said Shinra, with a cocky tone."But Mom and the others destroyed Sin! You don't need it!" Tidsna somewhat yelled "The planet has feelings you know..." started Shinra "It might rebel against what I'm doing and create another "Sin" like creature. Don't say it won't happen, because it might." "Fine..." started Tidus "Then why are you making another Jenova!" Tidus was demanding and answer. Shinra sighed, then he said "Like I said earlier... I need something to control th Mako, and I don't think a machine can do it, so it has to be another Jenova. Don't worry, I'll have control of this one." Shinra smiled an evil smile. "Sorry..." started Tidsna "But we're keeping a promise to Jenova 1, we're going to destroy Jenova 2 so you won't be manipulated by her and stupid, idiotic shit will start happening." "What my son said!" said Tidus, angrily. Shinra smiled another evil smile. "Oh well. Dammit... I'm always left with the dirty work. To prevent you from taddle-telling..." Shinra started to reach for his Mako gun, and continued "I'll kill you all!" Shinra yelled as he took out his Mako gun. The group gasped. He pointed it straight at Tidus, Tidus just looked back at him angrily. "Is that..." Yuna started to ask, but Shinra would answer it before she would even finish "Yes! It's the first prototype of my Mako gun! And it will be the end of you all!" Shinra yelled. The group drew their weapons, and they had no other choice, but to fight their old friend, Shinra!
PS: gasp The next chapter should be up pretty quickly. Because I had a lot of time Saturday and was able to write 2 chapters instead of just 1. Don't worry! This fic stays good from here on, until the final chapter! Yay!
