"Sephiroth, wasn't he the famous member of soilder until he vanished about 5 years ago?" Barret asked.
"I'll get into that later, come on we have to get Aeris." Cloud responded.
We ran to the Elevator that the scientist, Hojo, had used. I picked up the poison materia that was lying around and gave it to Cloud. The elevator took us up to a test facility where we seen her. Aeris was locked in a tube with Hojo standing there mumbling some crap.
"Stop it, what are you doing!" Cloud shouted as we ran to the rescue, right towards Hojo.
"Hehe, you'll see." Hojo gave the signal to a man in a control room. An elevator came up with Red XIII, and it looked like it was angry. He jumped at Aeris, as she moved away from the red creature.
"You see both these creatures are on the brink of extinction, so I'm helping to preserve the species." Hojo laughed and grinned.
"You monster, Aeris is a human being." Tifa yelled at the deranged scientist.
Barret steps up to the plate and starts to blast away at the tank. I would of helped, but I try not to waste THAT much ammo. The tank started to glow a flashy bright color, and nothing insided was visible.
"Stop that, what are you doing!" Hojo yelled as he opened the tank. The light dimed and there was Red XIII, ready to pounce. It jumped on Hojo and started to claw away at his arms, while his real target was the face. Meanwhile, Cloud went and got Aeris and made sure she was safe. I wanted to blast Hojo in the face, but that might really screw up the storyline, and so I just watched as the helpless Hojo got malled by the Beast. It was then that the elevator started moving up, and with something alive on it.
"Prepare to meet on of my deadly experiments, hehehe." As Red XIII got off Hojo, he jumped away and ran.
"Get Aeris out of here, Ryan." Cloud demanded.
"Aeris, get to the elevator, but wait for me, I just want to cause a little trouble. HELL BOMBER!" I shot a rocket as the abomination got out of the elevator, taking out all its little flukies. I ran and got Aeris, entering the elevator. As we got to the next floor, some Turks were there to greet us with guns in our face. I wanted to do something, but Aeris might get caught in the cross fire, and Riker might get himself too riled up if I start blasting, so I couldn't do anything but surrender.
We were taken to the presidents office, where the fat balding man sat smirking in his chair. I killed the silence by firling a few rounds, trying to break the bonds that restrained my arms in the back. "knock this one out, hes obviously insane." The president told a guard.
"You will suffer a fate like no other, you will..." That was the last thing I said before the butt of the gun hit me on the back of the head.
I woke up in a dull looking cell, feeling a little light headed, and unequal. I checked my right side to find my arm removed. "Dammit, wheres my arm!" I screamed out. The guards outside shouted...
"Shut up in there or your arm will become scrap metal." Damn, I liked my arm, hell anyone would be upset waking up to find a limb missing. Aeris was also in my cell, laying down. I must have woken her up in the process of my fit.
"How did you loose your real arm?" she asked.
"I don't want to talk about it here, maybe later, if there is one. Hey do any of you have riker?"I asked.
"Hes with me and the tiger like thing." Barret shouted.
"I do have a name, thank you."Red XIII stated. At least Riker was ok.
I was upset, not to mention still tired. I went back to sleep, but it wasn't the same. My rest was short slept. Cloud ran inside the cell.
"Get up something is not right." He said. I got up, brushing dust of my pants. I ran outside to see a guard brutally slaughtered. His organs were laying on the ground, and where his body lies, a trail of blood follows out. I look around. There are weapons were in a safety box that looks like it was blown apart. Riker's protect vest was there as well. My lupine came out with Barret and Red, and jumped into me. I patted him hello and looked for my arm, it was way in the back. I sid it into the socket where it belonged and winced. It was slightly painful, but I got over it fast. I looked over at the body again and wince. I'm thankful that it wan't me. I had to shoo Riker away from eating him, and he was disappointed. Red followed the trail of blood to the jenova tank. We all followed him and gasped at what we saw, the tank was broken into, and the mutated creature inside was gone. We ran past the tank where i seen the flicker of a yellow materia. I went over to get it, the enemy skill materia. This would allow me to copy the moves of a enemy, and use it as much as I wanted to. As I pick it up, a message goes right into my head. :You don't need it, give it to someone else. Mech skill will also copy any enemy skill move.: I wince back and almost fall, but Aeris catches me.
"Are you alright?" she asks worried.
"Yeah, just a little tired. Here I found something." I handed her the yellow materia. "I have no need for it."
"Huh, well thanks." she said puzzled. I just grinned and got up to catch up with red XIII.
We took the elevator to the presidents level where I was knocked out cold. When we arived, we saw him the president...dead. Cloud walked towards the dead body, checking it out. In the corpses back stuck a six foot sword.
"Sephiroth." Cloud said, stairing at the fatal wound. "This is his work."
As he looked, a fat man looked from behind the pillar. He saw us and started to run for the exit. Cloud and Barret caught him.
"Who did this!" Cloud asked in a harsh tone.
"Let me go, let me go!" he yelled it was him...sephiroth. He is back. he said something about the promise land, and left." the scared man said. As they let him go, the sounds of a helicopter approched. It landed outside, in the balcony. We all ran out and went to see what was going on. A tall dark blond came out of the it.
"Hello to you all, I'm the new president of SHINRA."
Barret stood up. "Only because yer old man died."
"What a shame. By the way, who are you.
Cloud started."An ex-member of soilder."
Barret,"a rebel group member."
Tifa,"same here."
Aeris,"A flower girl."
Red XIII,"A research specimen"
finally me,"Psycotic teen."
Rufus laughed. "Quite the motely crew, huh?"
"Everyone, get out of here." Cloud shouted as he took out his sword. We nodded and ran into the office and down the stairs, where tifa stopped.
" Everyone go, I'll wait for Cloud. Barret, watch over them.
"Got it, lets go." Barret ran to the elevator and went inside. I held he rear as everyone went in the giant glass elevator. I thought this was going to be simple, but it sure as hell wasn't. The other elevator started to go down and down came a giant tank.
"...Oh shit." I said as I looked ot it. It fired bullets at the glass, shattering it to pieces. Everyone ducked down to avoid the firing line. Me and riker didn't waste time. I knew that that distance was even too much for Red to attack, so I handed another bolt to Riker. He held it in his mouth and charged his magic, firing a bolt of electricity. Me and Barret simultaniously fired assult guns at it, and with each of my bullets charged with lightning, It definitely left more of a mark than my origional shotgun. Aeris stayed back and waited, for all she had was healing materia. The tank, hundred gunner, shot at us with the aux artillary, the wave of bullets, towards our legs, I tried to dodge it but my left leg was starting to fill with bullets. I shouted in pain, pure pain as blood flowed out. Aeris didn't hesitate, as the white light of cure restored my leg, popping the bullets out.
"Thanks, really." I got up and nodded. I had gotten to my limit as I charged the photon shotgun. The dark got even darker as light was placed into an orb and fired. It was still small though, as the beams shot out and hit the armor, making holes in it. It was damaged, but still fully operational. I felt energy being sucked into its large cannon.
Barret gave the order," We got to finish it now, before it fires. If it does, we'll be blown straight off the elevator." Red and Riker shot magic as me and Barret fired at it. We finished it, but to little to late. It fired the wave cannon straight at Aeris, who it computed to be one of the bigger threats, as with her around, its counter part would not be able to finish us. The attack schematics were processed into my head, but so was desolate fear, as the unconscience Aeris fell to the ground, when we were still at least thirty stories up. I did one thing that I knew i was going to regret. I jumped also. I was heavier due to my arm, so I caught up around the twenty-fifth floor. On the elevator, I could hear gun firing, and the explosion of big shot, along with Barrets screams of rage.
I grabbed onto Aeris and used the mini-copter, but we were falling too fast and I couldn't slow down enough to use it. Twentith floor, fifteenth, tenth, It struck me, I had to do something or else we were going to die. I loaded a new clip and prayed to the heavens that this would work. I pointed the shotgun arm to the ground, holding on to Aeris tight. "Wave Cannon!" An energy pulse shot out, hitting the ground with enough force to slow down the fall. "Mini copter!" The propeller blades shot out and luckily let us glide safely down the rest of the way.
I fell to the ground and started to cry, and cry hard. I was completely terrified that we were going to die, and I would never live to lead my normal life again, as much as I hated it. The Elevator reached the botto floor as barret, Red, and Riker ran out to check.
Batter started yelling"ARE YOU OKAY? YOUR F&KING INSANE, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, JUMPING LIKE..."
Red entered the conversation. "Barret, right. Now is not the time, just give him a moment."
Aeris was still unconscience. I looked at her, wiped the tears away and turned to Barret, smiling.
"Remind me not to do that again."
For those of you joining, Mech skill was an add-in materia, which fused with Ryans arm and gave Ryan the ability to mimic machine type weaponry. It also will serve as an enemy skill, so here is the current list of mech skills
Hell bomber-cost ten bullets from a clip.
Mini-copter- One mp for every second
assult gun- ten weak machine gun shots for every one bullet.
Wave cannon- full clip, twenty.
