Riker and I walked towards the city of Midgar. "Holy shit, I never realised it was so big." It was. The size could easily compare to the city of New York. It was, as it looked circular and you could see the shinra building from where I was standing. There was what looked like security copters flying around the headquarters. "Well here we go."
We walked through the giant door, while walking the door shut and locked instantly. I tried opening and shooting it, but it was no good. I continued on to where I seen the sector 5 church. It was like a rose in a patch of stinkweed, and it was under disrepair. I walked into the church to see flowers growing in a hole where there are broken floorboards. I sat on a bench and Riker jumped next to me.I prayed to all those that will lose their lives in the reacter bombings and walked out, with no sight of Aeris.
I continued on to the neighborhood part of the slum, and went into the Item shop to get some antidotes just in case. While walking out, two bandits came running out of the materia shop with green orbs in their hands. The owner screamed "Come back here you theives!" My chance to earn some street credit. "Freeze you scumbag son of a bitches!" I yelled they dropped the materia and took out knives.
"What do you suppose we have here Ron?" One of the bandits asked the other
"I believe it is a punk who can't keep his mouth shut." replied the other. By their looks, they needed the money, but stealing wasn't right.
"Listen here. You can give back the materia you stole and we can all forget about this. Or my buddy here will have a fresh piece of meat to chow down on." Riker glared evily with a wicked grin on his face. The bandits screamed and ran away like little sissies when Riker charged at them. "Thought so." I picked up the materia and walked into the shop, Riker waiting outside like always. People tend to get scared when a wolf creature walks into a shop so he knows to wait outside. "Here you are, I hope they didn't cause that much trouble." I hand the materia back to the owner.
"Thanks boy, business is hard enough without these looters roming these streets." He replied. He handed me a fire materia as a reward.
"I don't except freebies, but I will gladly pay for it. I hand the man 500 gil and walk out. He looked so happy, that it made me feel a sensation I never really felt much, ya know the feeling where you feel like you can do anything, happiness."
Walking out, I see Riker growling at someone around the corner. I take a look to see more thugs, lots more, around ten of them. Looking at them I say something I will probably say alot. "Oh shit" They all take out knives and glare at me. In the back are the two from earlier.
"Thats him boss." He points to me
"Whoop him good."
"We will fight for what is wrong." I look at them with their short knives and laugh, morphing my arm I say
"Never bring a knife into a gunfight." a classic line. I took ten shots and soon all of them but one was grounded. What I wanted to do was not kill them, but shoot their legs and cause them to fall in pain. The one standing was the supposed leader, who had amazing speed. He ran toward me and slashed my arm, causing blood to flow out.I flinched from the pain but still was ready to fight. I shot at him some more but he dodged every shot. Not wanting to waste my clips, I retract into my regular arm and and get ready. "Riker, Poison Fang!" Riker chaces after him with great speed, biting him in the leg, the man cries out in pain, and by the constant screams, you could tell he was poisoned. "Listen here," I say taking the knife and lifting him up with the metal arm. "If I ever see you around the slums again, it will be your last." I droped him to the ground and threw an antidote at him, then I evily stared at the others who used potions on their legs to burn out the bullets and fix up." That goes for all of you too." They nodded obidently and got up and ran away as fast as they could. "Damn it." I held my arm, staring at a potion one left on the ground. I picked it up and did what the thugs did and pored it on my arm, the wound closed up and left a small mark. Riker walked towards me. "Good job boy." I patted him on the head and he panted happily. A lady in a pink dress and a basket with flowers walks towards me.
"Are you ok?" she asks
"No sweat." I look at her and notice something very familar. (ITS AERIS.) I think to myself. I acted like I didn't know her. "This kind of stuff happens all the time." I lied.
"OK just making sure. Thank you for what you did, helping this part of the slums. These people are having rough times right now." Riker walks towards her and sits in front of her. "Is he yours?"
"Yeah, his name's Riker. I raised him from when he was a pup." Riker walks back towards me. "Listen, be carefull and look for me if anything happens."
"I'll be in a different part selling flowers, would you like to buy one, just one gil."
"Sure. Why not." I take the flower and hand her 10, walking away, tuning out her voice as she tries to tell me I gave her too much. (She is going to a different part tomorrow, that must mean...the reactor event is tomorrow.) I think to myself. I start on my way to sector 7 slums.
(A/N...Thank you to all that have supported me from the begining. I plan on completing this. keep sending advice on how i might be able to improve.)
