Chapter Nine

AVALANCE ARRIVES

Junon was in a panic today. Today a huge party was prepared for the two 1st Class SOLDIERS that were visiting. Sephiroth and Sienna had been ordered to attend to some stupid celebration that was going on for the President. Neither of them really cared so just ignored it, stepping off of the helicopter that brought them there. Genesis and Angeal had wanted to come, but they had a mission to take part in and had been taken to Wutai. A great fight was starting to begin between Wutai and ShinRa, though, so it didn't seem to be a good idea in Sienna's opinion.

They had only been in Junon for about an hour before the panic began. AVANLANCHE had launched an attack. Sienna didn't know what AVALANCHE was so she had to listen to one of the head Turks, Tseng, explain it to her.

AVALANCE was an eco-terrorist group that attacked ShinRa. They sought to save the planet from the misuse of Mako energy. AVALANCHE was created by an unnamed figure when he went to Cosmo Canyon and participated in the study of life. The members were trying to take control of the Junon Cannon. The two SOLDIERS had been given ordered by the President to put a stop to it. Sienna had wanted to refuse it, but there was a sight of a young boy on the street that seemed to…catch her off guard. He had been searching for his mother. Guilt rode her. If she found that AVALANCHE had caught ahold of the boy's mother…

"AVALANCHE must have used an underground passage to get here," Sephiroth commented, swinging his blade to remove the blood from it.

"Yeah, but what do they want with the cannon?"

"Most likely to attack ShinRa," Her partner told her. "At least, that's what we heard from them before their end." He referred to the men beneath their feet.

Sienna smiled, looking at all the bodies and blood herself. "You wasted no time in that, Sephiroth. Didn't even save me any."

"Go stop the cannon, Sienna." He told her.

"On it!" She moved quickly, turning the corner and jumping onto the controls. It wasn't hard to figure out what buttons to push. "There you go," She turned back to the man behind her. "So, what do you want to do now?"

Sephiroth stared at her for a moment before turning away. "The celebration is on hold for the day, so we're not needed here anymore."

"Then let's go do something before we return to Midgar."

"Why?"

"Why?" Sienna repeated her partner. "I'm tired of just going out to do missions just to return straight to Midgar. What's wrong with wanting to relax for a little but before doing so? Besides, we just saved Midgar from AVALANCHE, did we not?" She crossed her arms and moved out of the room through a door in the wall behind the desk. "If you want to go, then just go. I'll stay here on my own for a bit."

Sephiroth watched her walk from the room before giving a sigh and following her outside.

Sienna gave a smile as she stared down at the water beneath the Junon Cannon. Sephiroth was close beside her, his eyes closed as he let her have her fill of the different city. Sienna was going to open her mouth and talk to the man with her when grabbed her attention. She turned and sighed at the sight. A Turk and another woman, most likely an AVALANCE member, were about to fight. "Did they really have to follow us?" Sienna asked.

Sephiroth gave her a soft smile before walking towards the two women. "That's as far as you go."

The woman turned to face the duo; a look of horror passed over. "It couldn't be…You! Both of you!"

"Sephiroth," Sienna pulled out her sword. "Let me handle this."

The silver-haired man gave a smile and turned. "If you wish it."

A look of pure joy flittered across Sienna's face as she took a step forward. The AVALANCE member felt her knees began to tremble but tossed it aside as the other woman ran forward to begin the fight. She dodged the first three slashed before using her own blade to parry the other. Her arms almost buckled from the strength behind it. She pulled a furious face. This woman…she knew that the SOLDEIR was just toying with her. There was no way this was her full strength. It couldn't be…

"Oh, so you can block my attack, can you?" Sienna grinned, her excitement growing. "That makes it so much more…entertaining."

"So it was the two of you…" The woman hissed. She watched as ice began to twirl around her blade and jumped back, ripping it free before it could get a strong hold. "The Silver-Haired SOLDIER...Sephiroth!"

"Damn, do I not have a name yet?" Sienna asked, glancing back at Sephiroth.

He smiled at her and gave a shrug. "Maybe women just don't like you. All the men seem to know you."

Sienna turned back to the AVALANCHE member, trying to control the blush she knew was spreading across her face. "Just who are you?"

"My name is Elfe."

"Ahh, the leader of AVALANCHE, huh?" Sienna replied.

Elfe looked surprised. "How…how did you know?"

"You just told us." Sephiroth smiled.

The female Turk behind them all gave a snort, hiding her laughter.

Elfe growled and lifted her sword again. "Why do the two of you fight?" Sephiroth and Sienna exchanged a look with the other. The woman continued. "We fight for a reason. Thus, for the sake of victory, we now retreat." Elfe gave them both another glare before running off. Sienna glared after her for a moment as Sephiroth approached the Turk.

"Hey, you." The silver-haired man began. "There was an exceptional strength in her. Tell your superiors not to take her lightly." Sephiroth walked back past Sienna before pausing again. "Fighting for a reason…"

"Come on, Sephiroth," The woman moved up beside him, curling her arm around his. "Let's go home." Sephiroth let the woman drag him through Junon, ignoring the Turks and others that called out to them as they tried to thank them. Sienna gave an exasperated sigh. "Why the hell can't someone go to Midgar and attack it while the four of us aren't there?"

"The four of us?" Sephiroth gave a smile.

"Yeah. You, me, Angeal, and…and Genesis," Her voice flawed for a moment. Sephiroth raised a brow as they approached the helicopter that was waiting on them. The moment the pilots saw them, they hurried onboard to get ready. "Let AVALANCHE attack Midgar when the four of us aren't there. Burn it all to the ground. I just…I just want it gone!"

"Gone?" Sephiroth asked her as they came to a pause as the copter started to whirl.

"Yeah, just…gone…" She hung her head. "All we are is tools to them and I hate it! I hate ShinRa! I hate Midgar! I hate-" She lifted her head. "One day, I want to…" She glanced at him and gave a soft smile. "Never mind. Just ignore me. I'm just letting my words fly out of my mouth, so ignore them. Let's just go home. I'm sure Genesis and Angeal are there, waiting on us. They'll want to hear all about this over dinner."

Sephiroth watched her as she stepped onto the Helicopter. She was worried about something; it seemed to be hitting her more than it was hitting him. To see her so stressed out like she was, it made him feel guilty. He could keep his under wraps and behind a plain face. Sienna tried to hide her's, but it didn't work out the way his did.

Closing his eyes, Sephiroth stepped up onto the copter and took his seat again. The phone in his pocket stared to go off and he pulled it out. It was the president, most likely looking for the two of them. Glancing a look up at the woman across from him as she stared out of the window, Sephiroth closed his eyes and turned his phone off. If she wanted to go home, then he was going to let her go. If Sienna ever wanted to do anything, when she wanted to do anything, then he was going to make sure, no matter what it was, that she was going to get to do it.
