A/N: If you haven't read 'Evidence of Sephiroth's Humanity' by dantesdarkqueen yet...WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?! (pant, gasp, drool, pant) You might need to read that to understand what this chapter is referring to. Or at least Chapter 75 of that fic. Mwah ha ha.

Disclaimer: Plot mine, everything else...decidedly not.


Kandi continued her work scanning the computers and PDA's that had, until recently, been the property of the owners of Gaia Records. So much information, so little time. Ram and Sage had been assisting her, but Tseng had called them into his office. The head of IT had a sneaking suspicion it had something to do about them getting freaky in the server room with Spawn running around the building.

For shame.

Didn't they know better than to get caught? She and Rude had fucked in there several times; in fact, she could almost bet one of those times resulted in the conception of the new Spawn currently incubating in her belly. Speaking of which...reaching into her jacket, she pulled out a granola bar. It was Spawn feeding time.

Being knocked up wasn't so bad.

There was a knock on the IT room door and she turned, just as Reno and Akalara came in. "Hey," she said cheerfully through a mouthful of granola. "What's up, guys?"

Akalara smirked and cast a glance at Reno. "First of all," the red-head began. "How are you feeling? Any nausea yet?"

Kandi shook her head. "No, not really," she answered. "If I keep my stomach full, but not too full, I'm fine. Worse is in the mornings, after not eating for eight hours or so. Rude makes sure I have a cereal bar or something on the nightstand before we go to bed. I eat it first thing and I'm fine. Why?"

Reno's mouth pulled back in a very scary grin and Akalara snickered, revealing something from behind her back. It was a DVD case. "We found something we thought would be fun for all of us to watch," she said in a slightly singsong voice.

"But it's kinda graphic, which is why we needed to make sure you weren't gonna blow chunks on us, Prego," Reno explained.

Kandi got up from her seat and took the disk, examining it. It was unlabelled. "What is it?" she asked, turning it over in her hand.

"Put it in and find out," Reno told her taking a seat and propping his feet up on the table.

Kandi went to a computer that was hooked up to the projector and put the disk in the DVD drive. Akalara hit the lights and sat beside Reno, Kandi taking his other side as the video started.

Bright lights faded out to reveal a dark haired figure strapped to an examination table, completely nude. Four other figures stood around him, two male, two female. One male had spiky black hair while the other sported flaming red locks. One female had green hair, the other brown, streaked red. The figure on the table looked confused and terrified.

"Greetings, Professor," the red-head drawled out. "Hope you're...comfortable. You're going to be in that position for awhile."

Kandi burst into laughter. "Oh shit!" she gasped out. "Oh, hell yeah! I can't believe you guys found this!"

"Shhh!" Akalara reprimanded. "Watch! I'm about to say my first line!"

"You have hurt a friend of ours, many times over. And that requires payment, of the 'eye for an eye' variety."

"Payment?"

"Yes, payment."

Blood poured out as they cut open Hojo's torso and began the commentary about his healty liver. Kandi, eyes glued to the screen, reached into her jacket and started passing our snacks to her cohorts. "This is the best damned thing ever," she whispered.

"Look how young we all look," Akalara said with a laugh as she took a bag of chips and soda from her friend.

"It was nearly ten years ago, Ak," Reno explained, shoving some Skittles into his mouth. "You guys were still in your teens."

"You weren't that much older, ReRe," Kandi pointed out before bursting into laughter as she ripped off Hojo's dick. They watched as Reno shoved a spiked metal dildo like object up the hated professor's ass.

"All you have to do is say 'yes, kill me.' And I will end your pain."

Hojo gurgled, the blood filling his lungs. "Y-yes! K-k-ki-kill me! Please!"

On screen, Akalara smirked as she readied her blade. "As you wish, professor."

They watched as Hojo died and then Zack pulled something out of a bag. "Yeah, not so fast, you sick fucker," he growled before administering a Phoenix Down on the man.

"Did you honestly think we would let you go that easily? You have years of pain to answer for," Kandi hissed at him.

"Your torment has only just begun, professor," Reno drawled.

"Gods, my hair looked awesome back then," Kandi commented, running her fingers through her now shorter hair. "Why did I cut it again?"

"Long hair is leverage for an opponent," Reno told her.

Kandi arched an eyebrow and smirked, grabbing a hold of his ponytail and yanking. "Yeah, true," she laughed. She turned back to the screen and sighed. "I miss those days, you know? I miss them."

Akalara nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "We did this for Seph," she told them. "For what that bastard did to him."

Reno placed an arm around each woman comfortingly. "Too bad Seph couldn't join in, huh?" he asked gesturing lazily to the screen. "We have footage of Zack in case of memory of him gets fuzzy, but...did we ever get any of Seph?"

Kandi wiped away a wayward tear. "I think we may have some DVDs of all of us together, but I mostly just have pictures," she said. She chuckled a little. "Andi has that one picture of me and Zack in her room; the one Seph took of us at the Black Cat, the night we met Akalara."

The green-haired woman laughed at that. "Now that, was a memorable night," she said. "And as for video footage of Seph, I've got plenty; but nothing you guys get to see."

Reno's jaw dropped. "You have Seph Porn and you're not sharing?!" he asked. "You selfish bitch!"

Kandi reached for a tissue and wiped her eyes. "These fucking hormones suck ass," she sobbed uncontrollably.

Akalara reached for one of her hands and squeezed. "You sure that's it?" she asked gently. "Or is it seeing Zack again?

The other woman started crying harder. Reno removed his arm from Akalara and pulled the red-streaked woman into his lap, rocking her gently, kissing her temple soothingly. "I know, Babe," he whispered gently, reaching for Akalara's hand as he held the crying woman. "We all miss them."

Akalara laid her head on Reno's shoulder, fighting her own tears as she stared at Zack on the screen. The reason that night had taken place, the reason the torture had happened, was because of how Hojo had left Sephiroth in a near-death state. They'd do anything for each other back then; and the one's that were left, still would.

Kandi reached down and grasped Reno and Akalara's entwined hands. "We gotta keep this, forever," she whispered through her tears. "This, all the other stuff we have of them; everything. And one day, we'll tell this fucking Planet the truth about Seph; that he wasn't a monster like those bastards at the media make him out to be. And he'll finally be seen as the hero he was meant to be, just like Zack is."

Akalara's tears rolled down her face and that and she felt a splatter land on her cheek from Reno's eyes. "Right," she whispered. "Then Azrael won't be shunned for being proud of who his father is."

"His true friends never will shun him, because they know the truth," Reno told her. "Axys has been raised with stories of how Seph really was."

"Andi's heard nothing but good about him, too," Kandi added.

"Give me that rusty spoon. I think he has some eyes that he doesn't need anymore."

The three friends turned their attention back to the screen just as Hojo's eyeballs were popped out of his skull with the spoon. Reno couldn't help the sadistic grin that came to his face. "I think we need to have another Turk Movie Night, with this as the feature," Reno said. "The last one Joel put on was a success, with the Turk Babe, Tifa and Yuffie girl action going on."

Reno yelped as he was pinched by the two women. "You are never to speak of that again!" Akalara hissed.

"We were drunk as fuck!" Kandi exclaimed.

Reno laughed and settled back against his chair, still holding Kandi in his lap, slinging his other arm around Akalara. "Do you know who would absolutely love to see this DVD?" he asked.

Kandi snickered and Akalara chuckled. "Vincent," they replied in unison.


A/N: I was reading EoSH again (I'm hopelessly addicted!), and read Chapter 75. Oh yeah, had to pull the old DVD out and dust it off. Good times, good times.
