Because I'm so brilliantly incredible, I updated with 2 chapters last time! Yay, go me!
Disclaimer: The almighty one does not own Final Fantasy VII, or it's characters. Just the made up ones. But then again, her friends own them. Except Safiria, who she made herself. What a clever girl!
Damn, the disclaimer hates me again. Maybe it's Reno in disguise, getting back at me for writing that stuff about him...?
Disclaimer: Dammit, who told you!
Oh yeah...I'm not using the usual FFVII spells, but the ones from the later games, as Thundara and such like sound better than Bolt2. :D
Reno in disguise as the disclaimer: She doesn't own them either. Haha. Feel bumped.

After waiting for all of his Turks to get back in fighting shape, Tseng called a board meeting of all the important staff in the building. The Heads of departments were all present, and were seated at the large board room table. The Turks stood to attention behind Tseng's seat. Standing out most was Reno, whose shirt was unbuttoned and untucked, adn was leaning against the wall smoking.
Tseng surveyed the people sitting at the huge table in the board room. He had gotten rid of the useless Palmer, not because he liked to drink lard in his tea, but because he was useless. Well, maybe it was to do the lard, but he wouldn't tell anyone that.
"Ahem! Would everyone please look this way?"
Tseng addressed the people at the table as a whole, standing up and motioning for attention. The Head of Weaponry Development sat to closest to Tseng, a female with pale pink hair. Even more efficient than Scarlet had been, Shigo was obsessed with explosions which was the reason she got on so well with Safiria, who had a little obsession with hiding small 'packages' in the desks of those who irritated her. Many a time had Reno opened a drawer on his desk and came face to face with a fire cracker. He still didn't know who the culprit was, not thinking at all that his rookie ould ever be so evil.
As the General of Soldier, Tetsuo Wolfe also sat at the table, opposite Shigo. He was in his purple uniform, which hadn't changed at all since Cloud had once worn one. Although it was a board meeting, he still had his trusty gun at his side.
The new crazy professor sat near Tetsuo, Azrial. He looked as if he had gone insane with some hair gel, with dark green hair spiked in all directions. In Heideggers place was a young woman, a 'friend' of Reno's. Sari was the floor whore. She must have had some use, or she wouldn't be getting payed so much. Reno just loved it when she came into his office. She would leave some paperwork on his desk, and if Reno was in, she wold bend over slightly, giving him full view of her chest. The only one not dressed smartly, she was wearing a black miniskirt with a very tight corset of black and red. Her knee high stiletto's didn't help either.
"Now that I have your attention, we can begin. As you all know, the President Rufus has been gone for some time. However, we have recieved reports from our intelligence that he has been sighted in several places. Tetsuo will bring you all up to date."
Taking his seat at the head of the table, Tseng sat down and waited for Wolfe to stand. Wolfe however, looked around the room for someone named Tetsuo. He was always called Wolfe, and hadn't realised that the Turks leader was speaking to him. Recieving a sharp kick from Shigo, he stood up quickly.
"My intelligence reports-" Wolfe glared at the Turks behind him. He heard one mutter 'what intelligence?' and then saw Reno trying not to laugh. "-that the young President has been seen in both Nibelheimand Mideel. How he has been in both places at once are mysteries to us. Recent reports however, say that he has been sighted here in Midgar. Currently, a team of my best men are out collecting information. As for Yazoo, the report that he was heading for Kalm was indeed true, but we arrived too late. We do know that he has been in and out of Midgar, always leaving with a new fighter on his side."
Sitting back down, Wolfe waved a hand in the air to motion that he was finshed. Tseng stood back up to address the room.
"Well, as you all know, we need to find the President before our silver haired assailent does. I want you all to work to the best of your abilities to co-operate. Shigo, as Head of Weaponry Development, I need to you come up with some powerful weapons, and fast. Our enemy is no push over. Our first priority is the the Turks weapons-"
At this, Tseng could hear groans from behind him. Turning, he saw Reno holding his dear EMR to his chest, Safiria hiding her twin daggers behind her back, and Ayaka taking off her clawed gloves and hiding them in her pockets. Teioh tried to hide his katana in his jacket, only succeding in making a hole in the side of it, while Elena and Rude exchanged worried glances.
"As I was saying!" Tseng said sternly, turning back to Shigo, "We need those weapons done first, as they're constantly...working. Then, we'll need improved ammo for the soldiers weapons, and then some explosives. I have a feeling they'll come in handy."
"I'll get right to it sir. If you'll all excuse me please..." Rising, Shigo walked to where the Turks were standing. Much to the disgust and dismay of the Turks, she asked for their weapons, Not wanting them to embarass him in front of the Heads of Departments, Tseng glared at them with an 'I'm going to kill you all if anyone makes a scene' look. Reno hugged his EMR, getting a shock in return as it sparked him. Deciding that he now hated it for attacking him, he guiltlessly handed it over, glaring at it.
"I never liked you anyway..." He grumped to his weapon. He was about to turn on his heel and flounce dramatically from the room when he realised he was still in a Board Meeting.
Tseng gave them the 'look' again, and the rest of the Turks handed over their weapons.
"Good. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I need you to up the training schedules of the soldiers. We need as many good men as possible."
Wolfe stood up and saluted Tseng, before marching out of the room, presumably towards the elevator.
"Professor Azrial, as the new Head Scientist, you've yet to come up with anything which would be of great aid to us. I intend to come into work next week and find a report from you that's worth seeing. Now get moving!"
Azrial walked slowly to the door, muttering to himself, and plotting some new experiments. When he left, Tseng told Sari to make herself useful, and heard Reno wooping behind him. When Sari had left, he turned angrily to his Turks.
"That was ridiculous! If any of you embarass me one more time, I swear that it will cost you your jobs!"
Reno spoke up, obviously not knowing when to draw the line. "You wouldn't fire me, yo? You love me too much!"
"RENO!"
Knowing that he had touched one nerve too many, Reno ducked as Tseng swung at him, and darted for the door. Laughing insanely, he retreated to the elevator, and went back to the office that he shared with Rude and their two rookies.
"I swear, I'm going to accidently knife him one day." Safiria strolled leisurely from the room with her hands behind her head. Ayaka left as well, to her and Elena's office.
"Aww man, I'm gonna have to go get this fixed..." Teioh started grumbling, looking at the hole in his black suit.
"Then go get it fixed!" Tseng hissed. "I don't have anything else for you high school drop-outs to get done today!"
"For your info, I didn't drop out, I was kicked outta my school!" Teioh told his boss. "Hey, does that mean we have the day off?"
"Oh piss off..."
As Teioh ran from the room wooping, to tell his comrades, Rude shook his head. Tseng didn't swear unless absolutely neccessary, or he was under a lot of stress. In this case, it was probably both. Teioh had the extremely annoying ability to get on any nerve possible, but then again, it was better to spend the day locked up with Teioh than Reno. Reno was First-Class annoyance and irritacy. Elena stepped forward to her boss.
"Are you sure sir? I could stay behind and help with any work you need done? I'm sure searching for the President requires quite a lot of work."
"I have nothing I could be doing either sir." Rude chipped in.
"Ah, Elena and Rude, the only two sane Turks I have left..."
Elena laughed at him. "Saff's quite sane too sir."
"Oh? I'm really beginning to doubt that. I know for a fact that she's the one who's been blowing up Reno's desk every time he opens the drawer.
Rude smiled visibly. "What Reno wouldn'tdo to hear that sir."
Tseng smiled as well. "As it is, I only have some small amounts of paperwork to get through. You two are free to go as well."
Still smiling, Rude left the office. He knew that Reno would be waiting for him so they could go get smashed, and he wanted to see how far Reno would go to get the name of the fire cracker perpetrator. Elena went with him to get Ayaka. She hated trains, so Elena drove her to work. No right minded person would trust Ayaka with a car anyway.
-x-x-
Teioh's plans were to go get his jacket fixed, then meet the rest of the Turks in a bar of Reno's choice. Reno had managed to persuade everyone that they didn't get much time off, so they should go passout together, even though a silver haired maniac was hot on their heels.
"It's good to see that you hurt yourself instead of my bike, Saff."
"Oh shut up, or I'll pull my daggers across the paintwork."
Smirking at her, Reno patted her on the back. "I hate to break it to you, but Shigo stole your daggers remember?"
This time, it was Safiria's turn to smirk. "She knows I use a dagger. She doesn't know that I use twin daggers..."
The colour drained from Reno's face, and he jumped in front of his bike, holding his arms out to protect it, as Safiria pulled out a familiar black shiney blade.
"She got my good one. But this one has all my favourite materia on it, so watch it or I'll knife you in a back alley."
Ayaka appeared behind Safiria and laughed at her. "And what would you be doing exactly in a back alley with Reno?"
Reno looked thoughtful as he leaned against his bike, then laughed out loud at the look on Safiria's face. "It's not everyday someone makes you speechless, baby doll."
Ayaka gave him a high five, and waited beside Elena's car. The cute yellow sports car was Elena's pride and joy. She had once broken Reno's wrist for attempting to scratch it. Safiria glared at Reno and Ayaka in turn, before sitting to wait for Elena. She wasn't getting on the train, since they were all heading out to the same place.
Ayaka suddenly giggled, attracting Reno's attention
"What up, yo?"
"I can just imagine Elena, tucking Tseng up with a warm blanket and a cup of hot milk into the chair behind his desk."
Reno and Ayaka's laughter was cut short when Elena tutted at them. She had heard what they had said and glared at them.
"I can hear you, you know! At least Saffy doesn't say nasty things about me!"
"Think what you want 'Lena, think what you want..." Reno said, turning and getting on is bike.
Safiria growled at him. "What's that supposed to mean! I was gonna wait till no one could see, but I just decided that I'm gonna kill you now!"
Safiria was held back by a firm hand on her shoulder. Lifting her with one arm, Rude picked her up and locked her inside Elena's car.
"Someone needs a time out."
Reno revved the engine on his bike and laughed. "Nice one Rude. Thought she was really gonna kill me, yo?"
Still laughing, Reno shot out of the building's parking lot. Ayaka dived in the front seat before her friend could, while Elena got into the drivers seat. Leaning out of the window she asked Rude for directions.
"Just follow on behind me. You really couldn't lose me."
Elena found out what Rude meant when he pulled out in a flashy black 4x4. It looked like it was made out of the same substance as the bullet-proof choppers in which the President used. Motioning for Rude to stop, Ayaka climbed out of Elena's window and in through Rude's. His was much more dangerous looking.
-x-x-
Rude sighed with relief when he finally pulled up outside the bar. Reno's bike was there, which suggested he had started drinking wothout him.Ayaka never new when to shut up. She could wear out any enemy just by constantly talking. First, she laughed at the dice hanging from his rear view mirror. Asking hundreds of questions, she finally stopped when he explained that they had been a present from Reno one time, and he had insisted that Rude show them off. They were black and fluffy, with shiny dots. Then she asked stupid questions about the traffic signs, finally asking why he was bald before he gave her the cold shoulder. Turning around, he saw Elena pulling up beside him, and get out of the car with Safiria.
"How do you make her shut up?"
Safiria grinned and flipped something to Ayaka.
"Aya...Shut up."
Ayaka let out a happy squeal. "Yay, money! Now I'm one step closer to gaining massive riches and buying the planet!"
Rude sighed at her. It wasn't like she had no money, she came from a rich family and was one of the wealthiest people around. She'd apparently do anything for more. As they entered the darkened bar, they caught sight of Reno in a corner, smoking. As always. He beckoned over the barman when they sat down around the small table. He gave the man some gil and told him to bring some drinks over to them. Elena glared at the smoke around them
"Must you smoke those things in front of everyone, Reno?"
"Hey, I can't live without my goddamned smokes!" he moaned, then took a drink from the tray the barman had placed in front of them. "Or my booze. How about a seating plan, yo? You three ladies can sit with me, it's not like Rude speaks to me in public or anything."
"Shut up Reno."
Reno grinned at his friend before stretching out on his chair. He couldn't help but notice that the seat beside him was empty.
"Now I feel lonely..."
Safiria glared at Reno, as did Elena. They both knew that it was him who kept brushing his legs against theirs. Ayaka started giggling something about Reno being gay.
"We all know how much you really love Teioh..."
"Are you implying that I, of all people, am gay. If I were to take my clothes off, it wouldn't be my face that everyone in here remembered. If you know what I mean."
It was Rudes turn to try and put Reno down next. "Yes, we all know what you mean Reno. And considering that these three are the only females in the bar, and that you haven't been in bed with either of them, I'd have to agree with Ayaka's point. As much as she annoys me."
Ayaka piped upagain. "Yeah, and how could they really forget you? Smallest dick in all of Midgar."
At this,Safiria fell out of her seat laughing. Elena looked shocked, more to do with the facthat she hadn't though of this reply. Rude hid an amused expression and grabbed a drink, turnng so that no one could see the smirk slowly spreading across his usually stoic face.
"Shut up yaka, I still haven't forgiven you for losing my favourite accessory."
"Hey, I'm the one who lost 'em. What's up, feelin' insecure without your nightstick?" Safiria taunted Reno.
"As a matter of fact, it's called an Electro Magnetic Rod. But if you swing by my place later, I'll show you my nightsti-"
Before he could finish, Reno doubled over as he felt a boot collide with his gut. Elena looked pleased with herself as he looked up in pain. Laughing, she grabbed something to drink and turned away from Reno, as did the rest of them. Rude quietly listened to the conversation, sipping some unknown red substance. It was obviously strong, else he would have finished it already. Reno had been silent after Elena's swift kick, while the three girls were loudly talking about Moomba's, much to Reno's disgust.
After a while of silence, Reno stood up to get more alcohol. He had had quite a bit, because he swayed a little before staggering to the counter. He growled as he saw the terrible trio point over to him and lean in to whisper to each other. The looks on their faces told him that Aya was her usual cheery self, Elena was slurring a bit and Safiria was 'finely drunkened' as Tseng had once called him. He should really start them off with something lighter. Wondering how Aya could still be conscious with the amount she had had over the past hour, he ordered some more drinks, stumbling with a tray back to the table, drinks sloshing about in the glasses.
"Hey Reno, I have some interesting info for you..."
Reno turned and stared at the person speaking, taking a while to figure out that it was Rude.
"Yo, wassup buddy? Watch'yo talkin bout?"
His head lolled to one side as he slurred, eventually have to hold it up with his hands.
"It's about those firecrackers..." Rude couldn't help but notice that Safiria was now paying attention to him and Reno, not the Moomba talk. She looked rather dazed, but he couldn't tell whether it was the alcohol or the thought of being ratted on.
"You find thefuckin' guywho'sh been blowin' me up!"
"Guy? Yeah, whatever...But first, you've gotta do a few things for me..."
"Hmm...What kind of thingsh, yo? I'll gettem done. If it'sh poshible."
Rude gave Reno a rare grin, and thought for a moment. Giving Reno his tasks, he sat back to watch the fireworks.
Firstly, he approached the bar and started telling off a huge hulk of a man for 'flirting' with him. The man was looking extremely pissed off, not just because his friends were laughing at him, but because now everyone was going to think he was gay. Then, Reno started hitting on the barman. After he had finished that, he pulled Elena onto a table and started dancing to the dull thud of the music that had been playing since they had entered. After being slapped around the head, he yelled for quiet.
"Yo people, shurrup! I gotta shpeak to y'all! See that woman over there!"
Everyone turned, and looked at a man standing at the bar. He had long blonde hair pulled into a tail at the back, but he didn't look at all feminine.
"That'sh the woman I wanna marry! Hey yo, blondie, marry meee!"
As Reno yelled out the last word, he leaned back and toppled off the table, landing in a heap on the floor. Leaning down, Rude whispered a name into Reno's ear. Not caring that Safiria was his responsibilty to look after, nor that she was a girl, he stood up and swung his fist at her. Unfortunately, the barman had saw something bad happening as soon as Reno has entered the bar and called in some help. Safiria ducked out of the way, and Reno's fist collided with a very pissed off and vicious looking face. He remembered it as well.
"What the hell yo think you're doin'! I oughta blow you Turks to gaddamned hell and back, you good fer nuthin' assholes!"
Reno stuttered a bit when he replied. "Yo, B-Barrett my man, how'sh it hangin'? You can put your g-gun arm down by the way..."
After this, all hell broke loose. Barrett lunged at Reno, missing and attacking Rude instead. Ayaka climbed onto the counter at the bar and started yelling something over the din.
"Place your bets here! Come and bet on the fight! Who's gonna win, it's Turks versus Avalanche tonight folks!"
The barman was also on the counter, trying to shut everyone up and take the fight outside.
Elena stood up to try and get out of the way, but slipped on something, falling over onto her back, kicking a hefty looking man in the process. This brought the mans friend as well as Elena into the brawl as well. Rude had stood up and aimed a punch at Barrett, missing and knocking out someone behind him.
Elena stood back up, dusting her suit off. "A banana peel? How did I fall over on a banana peel!"
As she yelled this, she was shoved over the side of the table, onto the floor again. Ayaka was still cheering on the Turks.
"You go Rude! Ooohh, unlucky Reno! Kick him in the-" She ducked to escape a flying chair, and picked up a drink as she dived behind the counter. Climbing back up, she caught site of Safiria, who was now standing on a stool, throwing random spells, and lashing out with her dagger at anyone who got too close, giggling drunkenly all the while. "You go girl! Use Blizzaga!"
Ayaka was them thrown back into the bar as a well aimed Blizzaga spell was cast in her direction. She got up and started screaming.
"Hey, I didn't mean at me! You are so dead! Hey Reno, she's over there!"
Reno laughed out loud, waving a thank you at Ayaka and dived at Safiria's legs before she could attack him, knocking them both onto the floor. Rude however, was taking on three men at once, and having no trouble. He got a bit of a surprise when he felt a gun at the back of his head. Turning slowly, there was another man behind him. He needn't have worried, because out of nowhere, a tall yet slim figure dived onto the mans neck. Pulling him down and taking his weapon. Rude took out the other three before turning to the black haired man who was laughing like a maniac and kicking the other in the ribs.
"What up sir? Ain't you just glad I got your back? I can't believe you started without me though...Stay down you bastard!"
Teioh gave Rude a thumbs up before turning to join the fray, when a loud gunshot silenced everyone.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Muhahahahahahaha! Only two people know who it is! Yay, go me, I'm so nasty!
Reno in disguise as the disclaimer: If you all love me, drop a review, yo?
