Part 4: Nanotech: Turks-Neos Attack!!
When the girls finally stopped beating Ashe three hours later, Cloud stepped over to inspect the damage. Not surprisingly, he couldn't recognize Ashe from what he looked like before. His face was beaten so badly that one would think he looked like a splattered animal. "So,Ashe, You see now that you can't beat me? You may be able to temporarily down me, but you can't beat me when I have team mates to back me up in cases like this."
Cloud looked over at the girls. Sam was putting the tiny blades back into her shield, Alex was polishing her sword, and Clover was washing her gloves. Ashe looked up through his bloodied eyes and said, "I can't compete with them on any field. They are just too powerful. I concede. You win." Cloud nodded and said, "Now. you still want to see if you can get you job back?" "Are you serious?" Ashe asked, looking at Cloud with unbelieving eyes, "Are you actually serious? After what just happened, you're going to let me use you as a token to get my job back?" "Not quite, no. GIRLS, COME HERE!" Cloud called; all three grabbed their weapons and went to Cloud's side. Cloud looked at them and said, "Ok, girls, he really wants his job back, so I'm going to ask you to go with me on this, ok? What we're going to do is this: …" Cloud whispered, and everyone listened intently…
HOURS LATER, . . .
The door to Rufus Shin-Ra's office burst open. Into it walked a man the Rufus could swear he'd seen before. "President Rufus?" the man said. "Yes? Who are you?" Rufus asked, getting the response, "I'm Ashe Shadow, Formerly of the Black Ops unit, Black-Ra. I request my job back. I have even brought you the prize you've been yearning for.." Ashe whistled, and Rufus watched as an automoton rolled into the room, dragging the bound bodies of Cloud, Clover, Sam and Alex. "WHAT?" Rufus exploded, getting up from his chair so quickly that he lost balance and fell to the floor with a THUD.
"WHERE-? HOW? HOW DID YOU?!" "It was rather easy, actually," Ashe said, looking at Rufus with gloating eyes, "I ambushed them on the way here and knocked them out. Then I roped them up and brought them here. So, Can I have my job in the Black Ops back?" Rufus stared at Ashe with unbelieving eyes and started to chuckle. Soon, he was laughing hysterically, much to Ashe's surprise. "What's so funny?" Ashe asked. Rufus looked up, his hand over his eyes, and said, "You honestly expect to get your job back? Just for capturing the enemy? I DON'T THINK SO! You quit the Black Ops, remember? You failed to make it into the Turks, so you no longer have a job here. I can start you back off as a secretary, but you'll need a resume!"
For a moment, Ashe stared at the ground in shock, then looked up and said, "You know what? Fk you, and fk you're crap-ass resume! If this is the bull-shit you're gonna pull on me and everyone else, then not only do you not deserve to be president, you don't deserve to clean the dirt under my nails!" Ashe spat at Shin-Ra, who shook his head. "Ah, that's too bad. GUARDS!" Shin-Ra waited for a minute, then two, then three.
"WHERE ARE MY GUARDS?!" he screamed, to which Cloud, easily getting out of his ropes, "We took care of them long before getting here! Killed every single one." Well, You haven't defeated my Neo-Turks, yet." Rufus pressed a button on his desk and yelled, "TURKS-NEOS, ASSEMBLE!" Into the room ran three people, the exact opposite of the originals: there were TWO women and a man. One of the women was very serious, tall, well-built, had long black hair, a scar across the left side of her face. The other had shredded the standard Blue Turks suit to a more manageable (and revealing) size, had short blonde hair, and was built like your garden variety strip club girl. What was disturbing was her face; it was so… immaculate, you'd think she was really an angel! The man, however, was the weirdest of the three. He was a scrawny "computer-nerd" type. He had a full, flowing head of brown hair, and was wearing his suit completely reversed: his pants were inside out, backwards, and on his torso like a shirt, where he'd even tailored a small collar on it. His shirt, collar stitched closed, was the same as his pants, only the shirt was now his pants. Not one of them seemed to be holding a weapon.
"Ok, Ashe, since you wanted your job back, maybe these three will convince you that you really don't! Meet Orikka, Ulrikka, and Musaji," he said, pointing from the first woman to the next and to the man, "TURKS-NEOS,DISPLAY!" Orikka held her hands up, fingers curved upward, and opened her eyes wide. At first, nothing special happened. Then, they began to look scaly, and soon became a solid metallic form: a pair of giant reaper-like scythe blades. Ulrikka did the same, holding her arms out wide. Soon, her hands had become smaller and pointed, her middle fingers becoming he end points of a small dagger and short sword combination. Musaji, however, acted differently. He held his hand out in front of him, and held it in the other. Then, the uexpeted happened: his entire arm turned into a giant automatic mini-gun, with side-mounted laser cannons.
Cloud, Sam, Clover, Alex and Ashe stared, horrified, while Rufus stood in front of his warriors, laughing maniacly. "Now you shall see the true power of nano-weapons technology infused with Mako Energy and human DNA! Sure, it took a lot of money, but it was a success! I'll leave you three to deal with them, I have a dinner to attend." As rufus ran at the window, jumping though it, Cloud ran forward, only to be blocked by Ulrikka. Then, he saw it, the reason Rufus had healed at North Corel: Nano-technology. As soon as his blade pushed down through Ulrikka's tiny dagger, and sliced her down the chest, he saw the injury begin to heal. "Well, Dress me like a slut and call me Mary-Jane!" Cloud said sarcastically, "How do we beat these guys?" This question continued to runrb through Cloud's head as Orikka ran forward in attack.
Holy Crap! this has to be… wait, I already said that! You know where I was just going. Anyway, This has been Part 4 of the ASHE RESCUE SAGA. R&R, flames are welcome!
