Evacuation
"Cloud trust me, I've got everyone out and I'm checking the area now to make sure," I groaned. I wasn't in a good mood tonight because of that blonde.
"If you're sure then," He replied down the phone. "Just make sure you look everywhere and stay safe."
"Cloud if anyone attacks me I'll smash their head in before they try anything," I yawned and stretched, looking up and seeing how cloudy the sky was. Oh I could be doing other things right now. I still enjoy being hero and helping people but I would have liked my extended break to last a little longer, maybe an hour or two then I'd be completely fine doing this.
"Alright, Tifa and I will see you in Healen."
"Oh Cloud, just as it's on my mind," I stopped him from hanging up. "Were you and Tifa planning on having sex tonight?" There was a long silence before I got a reply.
"... Maybe."
"How about I phone you in the middle of it and see how touchy you get?" I snapped half threateningly. Honestly he had to phone at exactly the wrong time. Arsehole. My voice then perked up a little. "Alright I'll talk to you later Cloud." I hung up and started walking down to the warehouses. A WRO squad was supposed to have went there but we couldn't contact them. I tried phoning Reeve but I couldn't get him. What is it with people not answering their phones when it's urgent for them to? I'll never know.
It took me a bit to get to the warehouses and the rain was getting heavier. I triggered my Aura and started looking about for any sign of anyone. Nothing at all. Great, this couldn't get anymore unnerving. I shoved open a door that was ajar and went into the dimly lit warehouse.
"Anyone in here?" I asked, triggering Aura again to help me see. There were dimly lit Auras all piled up together so I approached them slowly, realising they were the WRO troops. Shit... who killed them. I looked around, sensing a strong Aura nearby. "Whoever killed these people... I know you're still here so show yourself before I crush your skull." There was a thick silence until footsteps echoed, getting closer. It was behind me. I lost my Aura and turned around, seeing a woman approach. A woman with red hair and red eyes.
"Crush my skull? Darling I could do better than that," She said in a heavy accent. She was smirking at me, malice in her entire face. "I must say, the WRO soldiers were even less impressive than I suspected them to be. They wouldn't last a day in Deepground," She chuckled darkly. "Are you Christie Wilson by any chance?" I remained calm, keeping my composure.
"I am, sorry I wasn't spying on you to learn your name though," I remarked with a straight face, which caused her to chuckle again.
"You may call me Rosso the Crimson, one of the top Tsviets in Deepground," She introduced. I noticed a bizarre weapon in her hand but refrained from drawing my own. "I don't suppose you know where Rhapsodos and Valentine are? Usually you are together or nearby."
"What do you want with Angie and Vincent?" I asked, doing my best to keep calm. Why did she want them? I didn't like it though and I wasn't prepared to let this Rosso get her way.
"I can tell you're determined to stop us," She sneered, her weapon folding out into a strange double bladed sword of sorts. "We know of your strength, Christie, but you have yet to stand against the might of the Tsviets!" I didn't even flinch when my arms blade ripped my skin and were drawn. I focused and breathed in, remainining calm and jumping back as she dashed towards me and hacked at my legs.
I blasted her with Aura which hardly fazed her. She leapt and slammed her weapon into me and it threw me back into a wall. I ducked underneath another slash and impaled her in the stomach, pulling my blades out then kicking her back, grinding my blades together and flinging a spark at her. She was knocked back and stumbled but all she did was grin and fire bullets from her weapon. I didn't have time to dodge and got struck by most of them. I was glad they were hitting my bones though.
I calmly shrugged off the bullets and narrowed my eyes at her. All Rosso did was glare back and put her weapon away.
"You are getting off easy this time, Wilson," She said. "If you try to interfere with us finding the Protomateria and Angevale then I will kill you." Before I could ask what the Protomateria was or why she wanted Angie she had disappeared. I made the smart decision of getting out of Edge before she came back.
"Chris? You okay?" Reno asked me as I grabbed my Restore Materia from the box I kept it in and began to heal all my wounds. "Shit what happened to you?"
"Some bitch named Rosso shot me," I replied calmly as I healed myself. I wish I brought it with me the blood loss was making me dizzy and faint. "I'm fine Reno, don't worry." He sat on the bed and got behind me, kissing my shoulder.
"Everyone's getting settled, you don't have to go back out," I nodded and put my Materia away, taking off my clothes. I really felt too dizzy to change into pyjamas or anything. I was too tired. I went under the covers and yawned.
"Reno," I looked at my future husband with a half glare as he jokingly groped at me. He pouted at me so I put my hand on his cheek and pushed him away. "That Rosso woman... she was at the warehouses... and she wants Angie and Vincent," Reno blinked then got on top of me. This was the point I realised he was in his boxers and nothing else. "Reno I need to warn her, she's my sister," He seemed to ignore me and started kissing my neck, irritating me. "Reno for fuck's sake I need to tell her."
I would have told her if I hadn't felt faint and fallen asleep a couple of minutes after that.
