Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII, if you haven't figured this out by now.
A/N Remember way, way, way back when I did death 28? Well click the chapter button and check if you don't. But I recall that Reno and Rude were talking about various things to do with Jenova's head. With so few deaths left I will now act on my personal favorite. Please welcome Tseng for day 91.
Tseng walked through the lab silently. He was desperately trying to suppress the shivers attempting to run up and down his spine faster then chocobos at the Gold Saucer racetrack. He could hear tortured, anguished screaming, not that he hadn't heard tortured, anguished screaming before. It was just this time it seemed to be bothering him a lot, along with the implements lining the wall that looked as though they would be more in place in a butcher shop. Finally a shuddered managed to cross him, nevertheless he opened the door to Hojo's privet lab. "Professor?"
He walked in to find a lonely looking object on the desk and a note attached to it, 'Went to Company Water Park, do not follow.' Tseng read the note and cocked his head to the side looking over the large paperweight and examining it. It looked like snow globe with little figures of several people in it. He shook his head noticing the tassel coming off of it. He picked it up, it was very heavy, it didn't look it but it was very dense, the Turk hefted it and walked out of the lab.
A short while later he found himself in the Company Water Park, it was a large section that had been converted to do anything from aquatic combat training to a way to blow off some steam at the end of the day. He could see Reno on one of the water slides, "kowabunga!"
Tseng shook out his wet black hair as Reno sprayed him in the splash pool, "Reno…"
"Oh hiya Bossman!" Reno shouted shaking out his wild red mane, "Whacha doin' here yo?"
"Relaxing," Tseng muttered as Reno started up the stairs out of the splash down pool before pushing him back in.
The Turk Commander stalked away to the lockers and changed into some swim trunks still carrying the paperweight. He walked past the tanning area near the wave pool spotting Hojo lying on his back with one of the mirrors and a pair of sunglasses, his nose had the weird white stuff that people always rubbed on their noses. Upon closer inspection he could smell something that smelled like dead skunk out in the sun in the summer, realizing it was Hojo. He carefully approached Hojo and saw next to him a strange blue head with white hair, sunglasses and a tanning mirror.
He picked up the head and tied the paperweight to it before disappearing into the wave pool and sinking it at the deep end. He surfaced watching Hojo panicking before running out to the pool and diving in. Hojo started to swim towards the deep end, Tseng moved out of the way as a black trail followed Hojo's progress.
Underwater Hojo was shouting as he attempted to pull up Jenova's head, "Jenny my love I'm coming! I will save you!" Unfortunately being underwater he took in a lot of water in the process and asphyxiated. But rather then his drowned body floating it sank to the bottom; his hand finally undid the knot ting Jenova's head to the paperweight. She looked at him for a moment, a tendril of hair went to her eye pulling down on her lower eyelid and she stuck out her tongue. At which point she swam back to shore and went to the tanning area to resume tanning.
Tseng had been watching the scene from the surface smiling; he heard the whistle go off for the waves to start up. He grabbed one of the surfboard shaped floats and rode the wave all the way back to shore carving the pipeline professionally. Reno let out a cheer, "nice one Bossman! What'dya say you, me an' Rude hit the new slide?"
Tseng nodded, "could be interesting."
