'Hold on to something Wallace!' Reno grinned as they cut a swave through the Shinra guards, who parted like the sea. The young ex-Turk never took his foot off the gas as they sped on crashing through the glass doors, which acted as an entrance to the building. The sound of shattering glass filled the air as heavy sheets and shards of glass hit the car buffeting the occupants. Clinging tightly to his gun Desiel squeezed the trigger the sparks from the bullets flashed and sparked.

'Reno no!' Ronnie cried appearing just in time to watch his bestfriend's car plough head first into a marble pillar, he wasn't the only one who had witnessed this sight far off in the distance Aeris found herself closing her eyes and hoping for her comrades safety, but one name seemed to linger on her lips for longer. She shook her head there wasn't time for that now, but hopefully maybe later.

'Reno, Reno!' Ronnie called as he ran towards the car reaching the driver's door first glancing inside his eyes widened at the sight, which met them.

'Who are you?' He frowned glancing from the sight of his friend who was groaning and slumped against the steering wheel to the man next to him.

'Oh Gaia my head hurts like hell.' Reno groaned raising his head off the steering wheel glancing at his friend. Desiel was already out of the car clutching his gun he was just on his feet when the first Shinra guard jumped on him sending him spining across the floor and his gun out of his hands.

'Ronnie get me out of here!' Reno motioned his senses returning to him as he struggled with the belt buckle, which had fused itself in the accident. The blonde man bend over his friend tugging at the fabric of the belt struggling with the metal, frowning hard Reno glanced into the wing mirror seeing the mass of Shinra guards advancing on their position.

'Ron.' He whispered his face falling as he stared at his fate, this wasn't how it was surposed to end not for him.

'It's almost there Reno!' The blonde Turk explained oblivious to what was behind him, that was his weakness he could only focus on one thing at a time that had always worried Reno about his bestfriend.

'Ronnie Shinra there are Shinra behind us!' Glancing up brieffly from his task, Ronnie shrugged.

'They've got a few meters to come until they're actually in danger of hitting us with there pop guns, you know Shinra guards couldn't shot their way out of a paper bag.'

'I don't give a damn I want you to leave me, that's an order.' Pulling a knife out of his pocket the blonde hair man grinned at his friend the joke wasn't funny.

'I'm trying to concentrate here mate.' They were coming now running at the car, Desiel had managed to wrestle off the guard that had tackled him and he was back in control of his gun but not even with his skill could he stop them all.

'It's not a joke Ronnie I want you to go you have to leave me or we'll both end up with a one way ticket to the lifestream.'

'Don't be stupid Reno I'm almost there.' Ronnie frowned realising that his friend was joking, knowing that he was lying himself he was no closer to freeing his friend than he had been before.

'No, no I don't want this I don't want you to through you're life away on me I'm not worth it you've got everything to live for even if it does include that annoying Saffy Vale just leave me.' The young Turk glanced up from his actions staring at his friend he wanted to say more but the words weren't there he wanted to pinch himself to know if what was happening was really happening but he couldn't.

'No I'm not leaving you Reno you can't expect me to you're my bestfriend you're the closet thing I have to a brother I'm not going to leave you to die if we go we go together understand.'

Her heart was still raising as the doors closed in front of her she was safe for now at least. Her breathing slowing Sam tried to think as she stared at the flashing pannel opposite her, she had to choose a floor. They'd taken Zack down to the Shinra soliders' training area, but Rufus had gone up to the helicopter pad to make his escape taking Sydney with him. She made her choice in frighting speed, hitting the button she resigned herself to the fact that she was about to lose someone she loved.

Sam didn't waste anytime preparing herself she pulled off the emergancy hatch behind her dragging out the black back pack, which sat in the juction next to a bright red phone. Inside it the back pack contained everything anyone would want incase of emerancy or the lift broke down. She quickly pulled out the small flare gun that sat at the bottom of her bag as well as the two cartiages and rope what suprised Sam the most was how efficiant she was she had never been efficiant in her life, but at that moment something else kicked in and everything started to flow.

Saffy cut the leads in the lifts disgusing Sam's movements. By now Rufus would know she was alive and by now he was sending up a crack squawd of Shinra soilders to take her out. She had to act quickly sealing the doors, which lead to the Turks office. She was all alone now and more scared than she had ever been in her life. Clutching onto the VR headset, which sat on her lap she wondered if the singnal would reach the Cait Sith model, which sat in the draw of her desk. She had restored it in her Mother's pool house but she didn't have the expertise of her Father and Saffy had only ever tested the thing once.

She swollowed her fear and slipped on the headset taking a few deep breaths before she commanded the machine.

'I'll cover you!' Desiel motioned discharging another flurry of bullets in to the Shinra ranks. But nothing seemed to stop the Shinra guards they were close enough now to fire taking up their positions Desiel, Reno and Ronnie ducked down. The bullets flying around them Ronnie continued to tear at the fabric of Reno's seat belt.

'You're gonna have to hurry.' Reno motioned overing his hands over his head as the bullets whistled past him narrowly missing him each time.

'Stupid blunt knife what the hell is the point of a blunt knife anyway!'

'Health and safety, have you ever read the manual you got on induction?' Chuckling Ronnie raised his head up.

'Reno were heavies what is the point in giving blunt knives what are we going to do with it strike fear into the masses by giving them paper cuts?' Reno opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again distracted by the figure, which hovered close to his friend's belt leg.

'Cait Sith.' He whispered his dark eyes widening as he stared at the small robot. Following his friend's gave Ronnie frowned at the furry cat standing up-right next to him.

'What the hell is that?'

'It's me babe.' Cait Sith introduced itself with a broad male Scottish accent.

'Who, what what?'

'It's me Saffy I'm controling Cait Sith from the Turks office I've locked myself in.'

'Babe!' The young blonde Turk turned to face the robot cat, which was being controlled by his girlfriend.

'They're are soilders on their way up there I'm coming to get you!'

'I can look after myself.' Cait Sith informed defiantly.

'Besides I know how to keep boys on their toes. Desiel you shoot at the belt while I work on a little deversion we need to free Reno!'
