"Really, all I get is to sit in the 'copter?" I asked, this bullcrap is garbage. I don't even get to introduce myself.
"Not quite, you will be stationed in an upper position to take out AVALANCHE on the slim chance that they live." President Shinra said, I scoffed.
"So I'm only coming along because of your distrust of Scarlet then?" I stuck my tongue out at the 'pretty' girl. She scowled and was about to lunge and hit me until Reeve came along and stopped her. I smiled at her as she was plotting 10 different ways to hide my body.
"Of course not, however I require results, and a backup is always useful." He had said, he then left to go to his helicopter. As he walker, he pointed to another, smaller one.
"The Turks will drop you off at your location." He said, before entering the helicopter. I scowled slightly. I really didn't want to deal with Reno again today, but whatever. I see Reno waving me over with his shit-eating grin, and Rude in the other seat, looking as stoic as ever. I sighed and slowly headed to the tiny helicopter. When I entered, Reno immediately turned to me.
"Oh, c'mon Aky, It can't be that bad!" He said, I hated when he called me that. He was completely aware of it too…
…Dick.
"Sorry Red-head, but I'm busy and need to go." I leaned back in a seat and closed my eyes. I knew he was glaring at me, but was quickly cut off when Rude slapped him.
"Quit acting like children." He said, still looking forward, finally starting up the helicopter.
"In-reality, I am 17 still." I looked at him, they sighed.
"Can't even share the booze yet." Rude sighed silently. Yea, I'm only 17. The deadliest 17-year-old you'll ever meet, bastard.
Now you may want some backstory as to why I hate these annoying fuckers. To start, I'm not a "Fully fledged" SHINRA SOILDER. See, about 2-3 years ago, I was a mercenary, Hired by some company that doesn't really "Rival" Shinra, but wants to take them down. So, Obviously one mission objective was simple.
Assassinate the President.
~Backstory~
It's raining hard, the lights of the city cannot reach me. My small frame made it easy to hide from untrained SHINRA SOILDER's, not like they'd live if I'd attack. I needed the cover, and avoid detection. I continued to climb the tower, about 1000 meters away from the office window. It's a hard shot to nail, but doable to a professional. The issue is that I only get one shot, so he'll need to be in that chair for some time, I'm not the quickest shot. He stays there for like, 5-10 minutes and he's dead. I finally reached the top of the tower. I quickly get low to the ground and blend in with the ground. I pull my hood above my head and slick my white hair back the best I could. I set up my camo'd sniper and look down the sights. I can see the president stacking up his papers on his desk, clearly tired of signing things. I laugh.
"Don't worry old man, I'll free you from this pain." I make sure my aim is absolutely perfect. I finally am in the position I want to be in. I calm my breathing and await for the rain to lighten up, just a bit.
As I see my shot, finger on the trigger. I get kicked in the side. I misfire and curse as I jumped up, knife in hand. I see 2 people in blue suits. One is bald with sunglasses, while the other has blood red hair. I see the man with sunglasses look through binoculars. He quickly laughed.
"You've got good aim. Would have been an instant death if the glass wasn't bulletproof." He handed the binoculars to the red-head, who chuckled.
"Sheesh, right in the heart too yo. This kid is deadly as fuck. No wonder Tseng wanted us to stop him of all people."
"How did you see me!?" I stated, getting into a defensive position. My switchblade wasn't the best, but its not like they knew it wasn't that good.
"Well your camo IS top of the line, that white hair of yours on your sleeve however, isn't." The man in sunglasses said. I looked down and cursed, I saw it too.
"Well, also, idk, you're holding a fucking sniper rifle, even though it is camo, it's not gonna just disappear." The red-head said. I backed up.
"Now, come quietly to see the prez, or come see him black and blue, I really don't care yo." The red-head stated. I was worried, I couldn't be caught by these people, I needed to report failure first. Damn, I'm gunna regret this. I reached into my back pocket and grabbed my trusted fail-save.
My desert eagle.
I fired a shot at the two who were swift and managed to dodge. I ran forward and slashed to the one who was bald. He quickly grabbed my arm, but not the one with the gun. I shot him in the leg, as that's all I could point to. He hissed in pain and I leaped and kicked him in the torso. His grip finally loosened and I was able to pull away. I felt another presence behind me. I went to elbow him, but I felt nothing but metal. I felt an electrical shot and my arm go numb. I panicked and jumped away.
"Damn you!" I reloaded my desert eagle with special ammunition. I shot at him, only for him to be surprised as he could see a green glow to the bullet. The bullet disintegrated mid-air and turned into a light blue ball. He got hit in the chest, full force from an Ice ball bullet. The other jumped from behind and tried to grab me, I leaped forward, aimed backwards, and fired. I heard a groan escape from the man. I started to run towards the edge, but the red-head blacked my way. I quickly reloaded a new clip of Lightening bullets and fired a Bolt3 shot that nailed him in the leg, he crumpled to one leg and a jumped over him. I hung on the ledge and leaped from ledge to ledge. I needed to get out of Midgar ASAP. I couldn't take the risk of them following me, and this city is like a damn maze. I went all the way down to the slums of Midgar.
I think I lost them. I need to get the hell out of here, I heard there is a door in Sector 5. Yeah, it's predictable, but I can get there first.
I continue running through the slums, no monster or person questioning me or getting in my way. A single shot of my powerful desert eagle sending them backwards if they even try. I finally reach the door, only to see a single man in the same suit, but slik, black hair.
"Clearly, I had underestimated you. Somehow you took out both Reno and Rude, which is no ordinary task, young man."
"I'm 14, I hardly classify as a young man." I repied, he laughed slightly.
"True, however your experience says otherwise. Clearly wiser beyond your years. Now, care to show me how you managed to take down my best men?"
I smiled. "With pleasure." I pointed my eagle at him and fired a shot to his arm. He dodge, but was slightly surprised by an electrical shot.
"Trying to cripple me?"
"Easier to get away." I Fired another shot, and he dodged again. He never ran forward, but dodged the bullets.
"Seems like someone doesn't trust his fighting."
"Haven't you've ever heard the phrase; Don't fix what isn't broken?" I reloaded my gun and fired an Ice3 bullet. He dodged again.
"Isn't Broken?" He ran forward, much faster than I saw, and punched me backwards into a wall. He then ran and kneed me in the gut, I crippled in pain.
"It is broken to the trained eye, young man." He lifted me upwards as I groaned in pain. There was absolutely no way I could possibly fight him off. "What is your name?"
~Backstory Over~
"Yo. Wake up." I heard a familiar voice say and felt a hand on my head. I groaned and swatted the hand away.
"Get your flithly hands off my head." I said, yawning. He grabbed me and put me in a headlock, with a tick mark on his head,
"What did you say, again." He said
"I didn't realize you needed hearing aids, maybe I'll just spell out what I need to you on paper next time." I heard Rude snort at the front. I swear he would have killed me instantly if it wasn't for Rude breaking us apart again.
"Maybe I'll send for Tseng next time, Akira." I scowled at the sunglassed man. He knows that me and Tseng hate yet respect each other. I may respect him, but I still hate his guts. I stopped talking and walked out the helicopter. I was on a building with green lights to the right of the reactor. I grabbed my sniper and set up my position. Rude and Reno watched me.
"Why are ya watching me?" I asked, without looking.
"Orders."
"Can't be having you run away now, little fail-save." Reno smirked and I flicked him off. I focues on the door, and waited for my target to show themselves.
~Rude~
This kid has multiple sides to himself. One minute, he and Reno can be fighting constantly, and the next, he's a cold-blooded killer. I forget about it every time. The amount of damage and blood on this kids' hands can be compared to ours as Turks. I know when he gets like this, there will be enough red to paint the streets.
~3rd person~
The terrorist group, AVALANCHE, finally exited the reactor, unfortunately they, were unaware of the Shira also being there. They could hear a helicopter in the distance. They turned to see the president.
"President Shira, it's been awhile." Akira twitched slightly, had this man met him before?
"I'm sorry, but I have seem to forgotten you…" He said with no sincerity.
"Cloud Strife, Former SOILDER 1st class." He said, Akira's eyes widened and a smirk graced his lips
"I'm sure you must understand that it is hard for me to remember everyone who is in solider." He said, still with no care in his voice.
"Like Hell!" A big black man said. Akira eyed the man through the scope and saw a gun attached to his arm. His eyes lit up in danger. He aimed towards the mans' gun in-case he got trigger happy. He continued to blank out the rest of the conversation, and focused on the stance/weapon of each member. He waited, and eventually heard the whirling of a machine. He continued to watch, and saw the machine get cornered immedietly. He sighed in irritation.
'See, this is why you don't trust the AI!'
He saw the machine get destroyed rather easily. Before it was completely dismantled though, he seized an open shot…at the machine.
The bullet nailed a secret compartment, filled with explosives as a self-destruct. He saw the man named Cloud fall down, but catch himself on a metal beam over the edge. He could hear them yelling and caught the names of the other two. Tifa and Barret. After getting the crucial information, he fired another bullet at the steel beam holding cloud up. he heard yelling and a bunch of bullets being fired. He took one last calm breath before firing at the gun of the man named Barret, destroying it instantly. He than took out his desert eagle and loaded it with ammo. He fired multiple Fire shots towards them. He's pretty sure he could hear "What the hell is this bullshit!" or something like that. He finished firing as soon as they left. He sighed in irritation. Reno and Rude watched him, before Reno asked a questioned.
~Akira~
"So, why'd you save him?" Reno asked me. I laughed.
"You really think that kept him alive?! Hah!" I laughed. "Not even a SOILDER 1st class would be able to survive that kind of fall."
Rude shrugged, Reno snorted. "We'll see, if he lives, it's on your name. Though he wasn't the only person you saved yo."
"You mean trigger happy and big tits?"
"Yes, I mean them."
"I didn't kill them to get their names. Barret and Tifa, the man who fell was Cloud." They stared at me.
"How did you hear that from here?" Rude asked calmly.
"Trained ear man, Trained ear. Now come on, I got to break the news to the President." I said as I walked passed them. Reno sighed and Rude followed quietly.
