We entered the the Shinra building, waiting for the others to come. We checked outside to see a group of soilder on bikes headin right for the building. I hell bombed the front, causing some sort of delay. Riker was waiting for me to get the materia I gave it. I placed it into a pocket and ran toward the back ready to shoot. I thought time was up, and Tifa and Cloud might be dead, or dying. I was thinking of all the bad things that could have happened to Cloud and Tifa as Tifa had started to run down the stairs.
"Where's Cloud?" Barret asked.
"He's coming, lets go." Tifa started to run to where a car was, she got in and hotwired it. Myself, Barret, Red, and Riker had gotten in the back as Aeris went to the passenger seat. Tifa drove threw a glass window and onto a long stretch of highway. As we left, A moterbike engine, something not like the shinra's, headed for us. I was going to shoot when I seen the spiky hair, giant sword, and the same frown apon the face that was Cloud. I noticed that he idn't have his buster sword out, though, and went to try to catch up. He was right besides us, kicking Shinra soilders off their bikes while me and Barret shot at more catching up. We went like this for a good ten minutes until we reached a dead, we looked towards the back where we came from and seen a giant monster truck heading right at us. We all got out of the car just in time as the gigantic mech rammed the car and the bike straight outside midgars front entrance. I shot at a tire, but it was a no go. Riker still had his strange fear of getting near anything big and robotic like this, so he was going to be no help here. I reloaded my second last clip, checked my materia, and prayed that I wouldn't be roadkill.
In the game, it started out by raming into the party, but I don't think anyone here would want to get rammed by those spiky tires, so jumping out of the way would be the best plan of action. Riker stayed behind, to avoid most contact with the monster truck, and it was very unaccurate, so it seldom hit us, and when it did, not much more than a scrape. I got ready and fired a hell bomber at its side as it tried to ram me again. This did little more than anger it...badly. I was overwhelmed as it transmormed into what looked like a giant fighting robot, with burners for arms and a spiky base, well that really didn't change much, but the big picture is clear. It was bigger than me and I was almost out of ammo, So I attempted a different approach, one that is probably innaffective.
"HELP ME, I DON'T WANNA BE ROADKILL!" I flailed around, acting like a complete idiot...and a distraction. Cloud caught on right away, as he climbed onto the back of the mech and slammed the buster sword into the back tires as it wasn't looking. It started to spark and get angry, and readied the twin burner, it fired and headed towards everyone. The emense flames where catching up to me, and i would be an instant barbeque. I screamed loud as the fires heat approched me, and I felt as if everything was in slow motion, as a different feeling of warmth overcame me, not burning flames. A feeling of protection as I lifeted up my gun arm and drew in light energy, but not in the same way as my photon shotgun.
"LIGHT SHIELD!" I blurted out as the energy formed into a shield, attached to my arm. It was at least the size of half the road and weighed nothing. The flames hit and pushed against it, causing be to have to brace. The shield held though as everyone moved behind the mech, and started to destroy it. I knew it was over when there was no more pressure. I don't know what happened then, I blacked out and fell to the road.
I woke up outside of Midgar as the sun rose. The first thing I seen was two yellow eyes, a purple face, and a red tongue heading towards my face.
"ACK, I'm ok, I'm ok." I yelled, imbracing the wolf's wet kisses. I got up and stared at everybody staring at me.
"Yo kid, ya never stop amasin me." Barret said, pouring a potion on a wound.
"Are you okay?" Aeris asks.
"Yeah, just startled." I responded. I check my arms and legs, to make sure everything is there. "Yup, nothing missing."
"Either your a complete idiot, or a definite genius. The distraction you gave allowed me to cut a gas line. If it was still there, not eve that sheild would have stopped it. I still say your an idiot, though."
"Hey, I knew exactly what I was doing." I lied.
I walk over to a few rocks with torn up dirt, kneel down, and say a few words.
"Who is that?" Tifa asked, looking at the makeshift graves.
"Doesn't smell human." Red states.
"Yeah...Meet Rikers parents.
