The first clue they were in the right place was the blonde Turk they ran into inside.

"Hello. Nice to see you all again," Elena said, sarcastically.

"I'll take this one," Tifa offered and the rest of the group went on.

"Why hello, Miss. Big Breasts. How have you been?"

"Shut up and fight me, bitch."

Tifa threw the first punch and Elena dodged it to the left. Tifa's next punch hit right on the spot and Elena was thrown into the wall. The fight turned ugly from that point. Elena hit Tifa directly in the stomach and knocked the wind out of her, but Tifa was tough. She rebutted with two fists to the face. Both hit. Elena grabbed Tifa's hair and pulled her head down to connect with her knee and she broke Tifa's nose. Tifa wiped the blood off her face and gave Elena a taste of her final heaven limit break and Elena went down for good.

"The name is Tifa, bitch." Tifa growled.

Then Tifa ran to catch up with the rest of the group. They had just run into Rude. Cid had offered to stay and fight him, as to not hold the rest of the group back. Soon after, they ran into Tseng. Vincent stayed for that battle.

"Why, ex-Turk Vincent, what a surprise. I can't believe you have the nerve," Tseng said.

Vincent didn't reply. He made a swift kick to Tseng's chest and that was the beginning of the end. Tseng was able to dodge Cerberus' bullets, but Vincent was too quick for him. Tseng didn't land one hit. The battle was over quickly.

A few moments, later the AVALANCHE members ran into Reno, who seemed to be extra cocky today.

"Well now, isn't this sweet? The whole group reunited. Oh wait, you're missing one. The pretty one with the pink ribbon."

"I'll take this one." Cloud sneered.

Cloud's buster sword and Rufus' lightning stick clashed and there was a great crackling noise. They parted and circled each other slowly. Reno made the first move and Cloud deflected it and the lightning stick went into the wall. One perfectly aimed punch later and the red-haired man was down. It was amazing what Cloud could do when he was angry.

By now, the whole group, minus Aerith, was together, and they all ran into the next room. On the far side of the room there was a cell. Cloud ran to the bars and sighed in relief. Aerith was there and she was safe, but she was hardly untouched. Her arms were locked in an uncomfortable position above her head and her hair and arms were matted with blood.

"Everyone stand back," Cloud announced as he took a swing at the bars and sliced them through.

He ran into the cell and cut the handcuffs and caught Aerith before she fell over. It seemed everyone was going to let them have their space, as it was only Cloud in the cell. He scanned his eyes over her body for any life-threatening wounds.

"Aerith? Are you okay?"

Aerith shifted out of her unconsciousness.

"Cloud? Is that you? Oh Cloud! I'm so glad you're here."

Oh what did they do to you, Aerith? I should have killed those damn Turks when I had the chance.

Just then the sound of a helicopter above started. Cloud had no doubt that Rufus and his minions were escaping via the roof and he didn't care. As long as they had Aerith he could deal with them later.

"Let's go home, everyone." Tifa suggested.

And so they did.
