Chapter 2
The female trooper in the security room removes the brain linking helmet revealing her styled short red hair with bright orange eyes "Vincent Valentine, We have found you." She says in her robotic voice. Just then a hulking mammoth of a man who looks like as if he did way to much steroids walks into the rooms his each step sounding like stomping. Her eyes change color back to there normal deep blue, taking years off her life. She looks to be in her late teens. Both her and the hulking beast are dressed in the same outfits the other troopers were dressed in from Kalm. " Is this the one". Her companion asks her as he takes up the space next to her. "Yes" she replies in her normal feminine voice simply.
Vincent finds a stair case after looking all over the first floor seeing no other option he goes up following the hallway around a corner coming to a large room that had some old cardboard boxes looking as if they had been there for a while. One big monster noise is heard coming from the far wall the sound of all the material crumbling. As the dust clears Vincent takes in the sight of the hulking beast with veins bulging out of his neck, blue mid length of hair. His eyes black with golden yellow irises. He was obviously the enforcer of the couple. Standing there looking around the beast the four foot girl at Vincent with her orange eyes glowing again.
" The proto materia, tell us where it is".
Vincent looks at both the girl and the beast weighing how hard of a target they are.
" Hail Vice" the hulking monster says.
"Hail Vice". Say the three soldiers that had snuck up behind Vincent soundlessly loading there M-16 aiming them at Vincent.
Vincent seeing them quick draws his gun and shoots off three rounds at the three sneaky troopers. Twirling back to face the Monster.
"Challenge accepted". As he steps forward towards Vincent. With out warning the girl behind him passes out.
"This way". Could be herd coming from the another room.
The beast looking down at his companion. "Luck is on your side." he crouches down and picks the girl up in one of his giant hands, holding her like a rag doll. He starts to walk towards the open hole in the wall he had just caused. " I am sorry." the little girl almost whispers to him. Turning back to Vincent. " I am Azul, we will meet again". Azul tells Vincent in a very manner of fact way. He makes his way through the hole.
"What happened here" calls a man just running into the room from the hall way that Vincent had been in a few moments ago.
Dressed in a blue suit the man had a goatee with long black hair neck length some of which draped over his eyes. A guard accompanying him dressed in white fatigues and gray armor covering his chest and legs his head capped with a red beanie on the back of his body armor in large all caps there were three letters, WRO.
"Vincent, are you alright". The suited man asks as he steps over the three dead bodies of the other forces soldiers.
"u huh" he mumbles.
"Reeve, its good to see you again. Not a very interesting out fit though."
Reeve laughs for a moment. "it took me a little while to decide on which costume I would wear today. But enough of the small talk who were those soldiers that just left." As he nodes to the dead people on the ground at his feet.
" I don't know." Vincent replies with wheels turning in his head, trying to think of all the people that would be trying to kill him.
" The large one called himself Azul."
With that Reeve gasps recognizing the name. " Azul a Cerealian of the Sveats, then that could only mean.."
"Commissioner" the guard next to Reeve interrupts. There is shuffling down stairs.
"We'll discuss this later. W.R.O. troops have arrived and have commenced rescue operations. We could use your help Vincent." Reeve turns around giving the WRO trooper the move out sign.
The trooper runs off ahead of Reeve. As Reeve starts to make his exit Vincent speaks up. "Reeve". stopping Reeve in his tracks turning around.
"I don't know what you are up to, but I want absolutely no part of it". Making perfect eye contact with his amber eyes staring into the very soul of Reeve.
"But you have fought beside us three years ago". Giving off the vibe that Vincent had wounded him deeper then any gun could do.
" We need your help one last..."
Gun shots ring out from the gaping hole which Azul had created, hitting Reeve in the back three times. Reeve falls forward, once his head had fallen enough to show his assailant Vincent fires off a shot so fast that the bullet takes to soldier off his feet. "Reeve." Vincent says panic stricken running to his side. Picking him up from the chest to inspect the wounds that had been inflicted on his long time friend. As Vincent lifts up the body the head, arms, and legs fall away from the chest piece. Making way for something to roll out of the head hole somersaulting and landing on his two brown leather booted feet looking at Vincent. The cat stands up dusting his black legs and white belly off with his white gloved hands. Making sure his miniature crown was still on his head and a little red cape tied neatly around his neck. Vincent had the smallest hint of a smile on his lips, glade to see that his friend as mischievous as he was to be OK.
" Wow that was a close one. I was never good at fighting, luckily I came out wearing Reeve. You really are not a bad bloke are you Vincent. Ah you pretend not to care but you always come through at the end". Cait Seith says in his thick Irish accent.
"Well alright" Vincent sighs. "What do you want."
"Lets run those soldiers out of town. I will leave the how up to you. When you are all done and I have had time to put my self back together I will meet you at the East Chapel."
Vincent walks down the stairs sneaking up on the soldiers texting on there cells. Vincent shoots them both, walking past them with out a care. He wonders out of the house seeing a hand full of white clothed troopers securing the area fires had been started all over the place. Vincent thinking that most of the enemy soldiers were either dead or retreating he started towards the square where the east chapel was located. Down the alley that Vincent is in he runs into a soldier. "Vincent Valentine I am a 2nd class soldier with the World Regenisis Organization. Please speak with me if you are in the need of any assistance. Precede to the church east of here, your way should be clear." He nods the way for Vincent to start heading.
Vincent arrives at the chapel just in time for a helicopter with its propeller blown off, using his stabilizing boosters to keep in the air comes up from behind the church and flies over cutting Vincent off trying to stay balanced smoke coming up from various areas.
"Looks like WRO got this one started but could not finish it. If you want something done right you have to do it your self." Vincent things to him self.
Before it can target him he jumps up from one roof to another vanishing from sight. The wounded helicopter scanning the area trying to locate Vincent traveling in small circles can't find him. Vincent stands up tall on Cross topping the chapel fifty feet above the helicopter . Vincent leaps off plunging towards the engine shooting it several times till his gun clicks from being out of ammo. He lands on top of it grabbing his chest with both hands black and white rings emitting from his chest causing blinding light once it clears A transformed Monster stands there wearing Vincent's clothes partly wolf partly demon with two demon horns and red wings from his back. He plunges his hairy demon hand through the top of the engine compartment ripping out the balancing mechanism with fierce strength. He then rides it to the ground jumps off and in a instant he is back to being Vincent again. Looking around there are ten more enemy soldiers coming up on him all aimed at him, not taking chances at what they had just witnessed. Vincent remembers being out of ammo he stands there waiting for the inevitable. They move in as close as they feel comfortable and start to open fire wildly missing their target Vincent covers his face with his armored arm. A hover diesel transport flies in separating the soldiers from Vincent. The back of the diesel had been modified to be a surveillance hub. The back opens up a five man squad jump out firing at the enemy. Reeve steps out after them giving Vincent a nod, Vincent nods back. Vincent reloads then runs out from cover in front of the diesel as Reeve goes from the back surprising the enemy downing them quickly.
The town is all quiet now other then the crackling of the fires and the hum of the two transports that just made it in time to help Vincent. Reeve pulls a Captain aside giving him an assignment of checking the giant warehouse that they were parked in front of. They salute each other, the Captain calls his men over to him they walk off into the warehouse. Reeve makes his way over to Vincent who is sitting on a grate.
"Good work, Vincent the enemy has retreated. It seems like they have finally gotten there fix from there withdrawals."
"Good".
"However, we still require your assistance. Reports are EDGE is under attack."
Vincent looks around concerned about this news. Then looks down in thought of what to do.
The Troopers head to the warehouse checking around rooms as they go down hallways one at time a Black mist comes and swallows two of them. Once they get to the center of the warehouse there are only three left looking around. The Captain asks the other two " Where is every one." They hear a clicking noise then all look up at the balcony that they had over looked. There standing there is a Female with long black boots with high heels, silver and red metal armor covering her vital areas but not much else. She has silver gauntlets that travel up to her elbows. She has red hair slicked back thin eyebrows enhancing her porcelain face. Her eye color was as red as her hair.
" Who the hell are you" the Captain says pointing his Springfield .45 semi-automatic black hand gun at her.
"Rosa, Rosa Declimistien." she smirks as she gives the Captain her name in a Scandinavian voice. "Sveats." he spits at the ground like he just said something despicable. At the she raises her weapon pressing a button where the handle is it unfolds two razor sharp red blades pivoting from the center piece making a multi use crossbow. She vanishes from sit.
"what the.." the Captain starts as he looks around to find where she went the other two troopers looked just as puzzled as he. Suddenly she reappears behind them striking them down with one fatal swoop. They toppled over not knowing what had killed them. "You might be WRO, but you would not last a day in DEEP GROUND. She says as an after thought.
