'Interesting technique.' As the last Shinra guard fell the sound of pumping blood in Zack's ears was replaced by a voice.

'So your the fruit of Cloud Strife's loins interesting.' The voice chuckled sending a shiver down Zack's spine it was cold and mocking.

'Who are you?' Zack growled his eyes widening at the sight of the figure who moved out of the wings of the training room, it was him.

'Yyou but it can't be your, your dead!' The bogie man of his nightmares stepped out of the shadow, causing a lump to form in the young brunette worrior's throat.

Sephiroth.

He was even more terrifying in the flesh his long silver hair flowing down his back his face, which seemed be incapable of emotion.

'Didn't anyone ever tell you that your Father is a liar and a murder.' Sephiroth hissed his voice flat and veminus.

'The only murder here is you!' Zack spat defencivly clenching his fits in a attack stance as the second greatest soilder moved in front of him.

'You're not half the man Cloud is.' Sephiroth chuckled coldly as his eyes wondered over Zack.

'I'm not interested in hearing this I know what you want and I know why you're here, so lets cut out the chat and fight.'

'Impatient to die young one.'

Zack didn't indulge the silver haired soilder with speech instead he launched at him fits raised.

Saffy pulled off the VR headset at the sounds of gunshots, reaching for the gun sitting on the desk next to her she took a couple of deep breaths for a princess who lived in the largest house in the nicest area in Edge what she was not experiencing was intence. She was prepared for what was coming next but she still jumped at the door to the Turks office being rattled.

This was it.

'Saf babe it's me open the door!' Ronnie's voice floated through the fabric of the door not missing a beat she lept up from her chair and ran towards the door unlocking it quickly.

'Babe!' Before he could say anything else Saffy's arms were wrapped around him and she was squeezing him tight. Grinning Ronnie kissed her warmly.

'You came for me, you risked your life!' Saffy breathed kissing the Turk again.

'Don't ever doubt it babe you're my lady I'll never leave you behind.' Letting her arms slip from around his neck she soon realised that the hallway was littered with the bodies of Shinra guards, most of them dead.

'Did you...did you kill all of these people?' Her voice trembled as she spoke, a frown gracing his features Ronnie grabbed her hand.

'We don't have time for this we have to get out of here, there will be more on the way.' Saffy shook her head this wasn't the time to bring him up on his conduct, if he hadn't have killed them they would have killed them both she struggled to keep an open mind.

'Okay let me just grab my headset and my mobile.'

'We don't have time for that!' Ronnie motioned his ears pricking up at the sound of multiple footsteps coming down the corridor.

'But I have to!'

'No come on it's not worth dying for.' Ronnie exclaimed pulling Saffy hard out of the Turks' office dragging her behind him as he ran.

'Ronnie wait please you're hurting me!' Saffy gasped as they keep running her arm felt as if it was about to be torn from the socket. Suddenly they took an extreme left running through the Shinra buildings' cafe.

'Ronnie please let me go!' His rough palm slipped from hers clutching at her sore wrist she rolled her eyes.

'Jeez finally.' She mutered under her breath the breath suddenly being knocked out of her chest as she was pushed to the floor, Ronnie was on top of her and gun shots filled her ears her heart started to beat faster.

'Keep you're head down.' He whispered against the side of her ear raising himself up from her glancing over the counter they had fallen behind more shots rang out.

'Ronnie.'

'Ssssh.' He whistled under his breath pulling his gun from his belt, raising the gun he scored a consecutive head and neck shot ducking back down quickly trying to think in the dark.

'What are we going to do, how many of them are there?' Saffy questioned fighting to keep the fear from her voice as she spoke.

'Too many they've got us trapped babe.'

'Trapped.' She whispered the colour fading from her cheeks as she contemplated her own death for what felt like the first time.

'Babe don't look like that I won't let anything bad happen to you I promised remember.' Ronnie motioned leaning down planting a kiss on her cold lips flashing her a warm reasuring smile. Once their lips had parted Ronnie wasted no time in getting down to bussines.

'Do you know how to use one of these?' He inquired holding up his own gun Saffy nodded silently her hands suddenly filled with another smaller gun where it had come from she couldn't be sure.

'Ron I've never...I've never killed anyone before I'm not sure if I can.'

'Well look at it this way babe if you don't kill em they'll kill us.'

With that simple statement Saffy raised her gun and started to fire becoming a Turk finally and giving into the darker side of her personality.

Sephiroth slammed Zack against the wall letting go of his t-shirt the young brunette worrior fell forward taking a slab of plaster with him, every bone in his body ached he'd never been in such pain.

'Are you ready to beg for death yet I will be merciful.'

Gritting his teeth Zack raised his head sumoning all the stength he had left he managed to spit out the word 'never'.

'So shall it be but I want you to know that when I do kill you it will be painful and you'll have wished that you had begged for an easy end.'

'Never!' Zack cried his voice getting stronger as he raised his fits, stumbling as he got to his feet.

'Very well but you should know this once I have finished with you Strife I will put that pretty little sister of yours and that insect of a pilot's daughter to the sword and once I have whiped my blade clean I will end this word and everyone that you ever cared for.'

'Take over from me I have to find Zack!' Sam motioned as she slipped off the belt landing the helicopter.

'But I, I don't know what to do.' Sydney stuttered as she switched places with her sister, she could remeber her Father not in the way that Molly or Sam did she didn't remember him as the greatest pilot who had ever lived she had only known him when he'd been an angry drunk helicopters and airships scared her.

'Sure you do if any of that Shinra scum look like their even about to breath just squeeze this, that'll soon show 'em whose boss.' Sam explained pointing to the red button, which controlled the machine guns, which sat impressivly ither side of the machine.

Jumping out of the helicopter Sam quickly ran past the Shinra guards who were being lined up and hand cuffed by the Turks.

'Sam, wait!' Reno calling her name broke her stride turning quickly to face him she fixed him with an irratated stare.

'What do you want?'

'You're running off to find Zack right to do the whole reunion thing, well I'm coming with you Aeris will be there and she might need some rescuing.'

'Pah, Aeris can take care of herself.' The firey pilot's daughter spat.

'Don't you think I know that what I meant was she might need rescuing from you two, nobody needs to see that.' She sniggered softly the joy and relief washing over her, she'd come so close to the end she'd almost died she'd almost got Zack and her sister killed but it was over now, it was over now.

'Well come on if you're coming.'

'I'm out of bullets.' Saffy gasped as she pulled back glancing at the spent gun in her hands, it was warm to the touch. Ronnie ducked down his breath coming out in raspy gaspes as he checked his own chamber.

'Oh hell!' He exclaimed the two bullets staring at him blankly.

'Ronnie?'

'I've only got two left.' He frowned watching her face fall as he spoke.

'It's okay.' Ronnie breathed reaching for her hand stroking it reasuringly.

'How is it okay, we're going to die!' Saffy cried for the first time losing her nerve, leaning forward he wrapped his arm tightly around her slender shoulders squeezing her tightly.

'I love you that's all that matters, will die together.'

'Together?' She repeated the tears rolling down her cheeks as she spoke, raising her head she managed a weak smile.

'It's a hell of a shame you know you would have made a great Turk, plus we could have made out when ever we liked instead of having to hide away in that filling room next to Rufus' office that always bugged me.'

'You know I think he use to watch us I found a camera in there once.' Saffy chuckled at the memory forgetting for a second where she was and what was about to happen to them.

'So that's why he use to look so weirdly at me creepy.'

'No babe he use to look at you like that because you are weird, you should have seen some of the looks he gave Reno when he'd come up to drop off his paperwork.' Ronnie glanced at her with an expression of mock hurt.

'I'm sorry you know seriously you never should have come back for me if you hadn't you could have gotten away.' Placing his rough palm over her slender mouth silencing her, he shook his head at the suggestion.

'I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life without you, you get that?' Pushing his hand away from her mouth Saffy raised her head planting a kiss on his lips closing her eyes tightly squeezing the last couple of tears from her eyes as she held him.

'I got that.' She whispered never opening her eyes burrying her head in the fabric of his strong chest instead. Frowning hard Ronnie glanced down at her she looked so vaulenrable he'd never seen her like that before she'd always been such a smart arse. His hand felt the dull metal of the gun that he was clutching his sences started to return and the world that he'd created with his girlfriend slowly faded reality hit home hard, in the back of his mind Ronnie knew what she was asking him to do he knew what he had to do but his strength failed him.

'Oh Gaia I love you!' He breathed feeling the fabric of her body tremble against his own as he raised the gun to the side of her head, this was the best way they were doomed anyway it was better to die like this than to be slaughtered, right.

He thought about his parents and his sisters he knew that it would wreak his family but what choice did he have.

'Just do it!'
