AN: This one's much shorter then the last one as Reno isn't around for very long.
Enjoy!
Chapter 2
We've Been Ordered to do Worse Than This...
Reno's eyes narrowed as the pillar came into view. "Well, this is it," he said to Rude who was piloting the helicopter.
Rude spared him a glance. "You're okay with this, right?"
Reno waived off Rude's concern. "Yeah, I'll be fine." He snorted. "They just want us to give an entire towns worth of people a clean death. It's not like they want us to take them to Hojo's labs or anything."
Rude's jaw hardened at the mention of Hojo. "Do it quick then. I don't want to be here when the Plate falls."
"Sure thing man." Reno grinned cockily and swung out of the helicopter and landed on the catwalk. He glanced over at AVALANCHE and quickly raced over to the console imbedded in the wall. AVALANCHE rushed over to him and Reno put his finger over the button that activated the Emergency Plate Release System. "You're too late," he smirked. "Once I push this button..." He pushed it and grinned. "That's all, folks. Mission accomplished."
AVANLANCE flinched. "We have to disarm it!" the girl screamed. Reno realized she was the bartender Rude had a crush on. "Cloud! Barret! Please!"
Reno looked over at them. For once, he was serious. "I can't have you do that. No one gets in the way of Reno of the Turks..." Especially not on a loyalty mission. There was a moments pause and then AVALANCE rushed him.
The fight went by quickly, Reno wasn't trying to beat AVALANCHE as much as he was waiting for Rude's helicopter to swing by. The first thing he did was trap Cloud in a Pyramid spell. That changed the fight from 3-on-1 to 2-on-1. It was still difficult as the girl, Tifa, Rude called her, and the man with the gun on his arm, Tifa called him Barret, kept hammering Reno with magic spells. Reno retaliated with his EMR. It all went downhill though when Tifa charged up a physical attack Reno suspected was a Limit Break and randomly attacked Cloud instead of Reno. That ended the Pyramid. In turn, Cloud charged up a sword attack Reno knew could only be a Limit Break and attacked Reno. It ended up hitting Reno five times. Fortunately, Reno's PHS vibrated at the same time.
He turned back to AVALANCHE and smirked, "It's time." And you nearly finished me. With that he ran past Tifa and jumped over the railing and into the waiting helicopter. Safe.

AN: This isn't all there is to the pillar scene. Thanks for reading!
