'I bet you're girlfriend is having a real good time now.' The soilder whispered gritting his teeth as he spoke landing a hard punch in Zack's stomach smiling as he watched him double over in pain.
'Not so tough now humm Strife?' Struggling for breath Zack fought hard to stop himself from crying out in pain he'd suffered worse during training.
He was starting to make the other soilders gathered around him nervous, they had all heard about Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockheart's prowess in battle the myth had spread that their children were even stronger and quicker but the young man standing in front of them did nothing he just stood their and allowed them to hurt him he didn't even cry out in pain when they struck him.
'Yeah I bet she's having a great time you're girlfriend enjoys flaunting herself in all those short skirts and low tops I bet it's better than Christmas, that little tart still she's had it coming.'
'Don't.' Zack whispered weakly at first his voice wasn't audable over the grunts and chuckles of the officers around him.
'What was that Strife learned to talk and here I was think you were some kind of deaf dumb mute.' He was starting to lose his control as he was hit again it wasn't the pain that was getting to him it was the thought of what was happening to Sam he knew he should have been with her he should have been there protecting her.
'Does she like it rough I bet she does nice and rough that's what my men will be giving her now a nice rough hard seeing to.'
'Don't.' Zack breathed as he caught the officer's arms as he swung to take another punch at him.
'Don't ever talk about my girlfriend like that!'
Sam had left the lift far behind her and the short flight of stairs, which lead to the helicopter pad at the top of the Shinra building. As she stepped outside the cold breeze caught her sending strands of long rich chestnut hair fluttering across her determind face. She cluctched the large red flare gun in her small hands as she edged forward.
Rufus she could see him now she could see Sydney with him, she was Sam's only concern now she had to help her sister she had to keep her safe.
'Rufus!' She exhailed the words her voice sounded alien to her ears it was stronger and more self assured.
'Sam!' Sydney squealed as she tried to reach her sister but was pulled roughly back by Rufus.
'So you managed to give my men the slip I didn't know you had it in you.' He chuckled coldly her hands started to shake.
'I was prepared to let you live to spare your life but now it seems that I'm going to have to kill you myself and in front of your sister as well nasty.' He raised his gun but before he had a chance to fire on her Sam pulled the trigger on her own. The flare went wide of it's make landing close to Rufus but not actually hitting him.
'Was that surposed to scare me?'
'No it was a warning.' Sam answered back loading another shell into her gun, she knew that Rufus wouldn't shoot her not when he would be enjoying himself so much watching her struggle and suffer.
'Pah!' The older man spat turning his back on his ex-fiance grabbing Sydney by the fabric of her shaking shoulders twisting her in the direction of the helicopter.
'Don't turn you're back on me Rufus I'm warning you.'
'You're finished Highwind you and that pathetic little gang of yours you're just a joke.'
'Sam!'
The tears were rolling down Sam's cheeks but that didn't stop her she was determind that this time she'd get what she wanted, she get what she came for.
'I'm not here to kill you Rufus I'm here to blow a whole in that helicopter of yours, it is your only means of escape out of this place isn't it.' She sounded serious he chuckled in responce but this time he didn't sound quite so self assured.
'You're forgetting one thing Samantha I know people and I know you you wouldn't do anything you know that if you fire that gun the explosion will blow me and you're precious sister to kingdom come and I know for a fact that you wouldn't risk her life.' Her blue eyes skipped from Rufus to her sister and then back again.
'I'd rather kill us all than let her go anywhere with you!' Her heart sank as she watched Sydney's eyes widened in fear she wanted to hold her she wanted to tell her that it would be alright but she couldn't.
'I mean it...' Her brave words died in her throat as the figure next to her moved forward it was only now that she realised that she wasn't alone. Her eyes rolled to the side, desperatly Sam tried to keep the fear from her face.
'I was wondering when you'd arrive old age must be making you slow Rude.' Rude's jaw tenced visbly at his boss' put down.
'I don't have time for any more games just deal with her Rude.' Sam's heart started to beat fasted as the tall bald man turned to face her.
'You can't do this you can't!' She cried losing her control breaking down into sobs. She wasn't crying for herself she wasn't afraid to die it was Sydney that the tears flowed.
'Elena won't forgive you she was my Mother's bestfriend my Mother saved her life, she won't forgive you if you do this.' Sam begged lowering the gun as he moved towards her, silently Rude reached out gripping the flare gun pulling it skillfully out of her grasp.
'Gaia.' She whispered softly closing her eyes waiting for the end but it didn't come instead Rufus' voice filled her ears.
'Finish her Rude, Finish her now that's an order.' Rude's expression changed as he turned to face the man who payed all his bills and put his children through various forms of education.
'You know what I'm sick of taking orders from you Rufus, Lena knows I told her everything she knows about what happened to Reno and Yuffie and I'm not afraid of you anymore!' The words stuck in Rufus' throat the last person who had spoken to him like that had been Reno and he'd ended up dead for it, however it didn't take long for the Shinra president to come up with a come back.
'I doubt you've told her everything Rude I was in Elena's company for long enough to know that she wouldn't forgive you infact she'd leave you and take your children with her if she knew about everything you've done for me and yourself in the past.' While he was talking Rufus had loostened his grip on Sydney Sam was tempted to run forward and snatch her sister but she didn't want to harm her in the cross fire that would insue.
'Don't play mind games with me Rufus I know what you're trying to do and you can't distract me. One way or another you're not getting off this roof, you'd proably aim straight enough to kill me from there but not before I blow the sides out of that chooper. So we can do this the hard way or the easy way it's your choice.' Grinding his teeth the president's finger itched on the trigger he knew that Rude's wasn't an idol boast, Rufus hated losing he'd hated it when he'd been younger and he hated it even more now. Letting go of Sydney completely he placed his gun on the floor shrugging at Rude who simply nodded in Sam's direction. Not wasting any time she lept forward and collected up her sister.
'Sam where are you, what are you doing?' The young blonde haired girl questioned as she was dragged to the helicopter and dumped inside.
'Making an entrance.' Sam motioned as she started to flip the various switches and buttons on with ran the helicopter.
'Do you know how to even work this thing?'
'Believe it or not I have a pilots licience I took an exam when I was here in the City as a kind of bet thing. Anyway even if I couldn't I'm a Highwind right it's in the blood, now buckle up sweetcheeks.' Sydney giggled at the nickname pulling on her seat belt as they rose into the air.
The helicopter glided down the side of the Shinra building, hovering in mid air as it faced the front entrance to the building. The guns on ither side of the thick black machine clicked into live and Sam grimaced as she squeezed the button that controlled the weapons. Her first shot went wide smashing what was left of glass of the entance ways glass doors.
