Twist of Fate

Chapter 2

"So what do you think your gonna do, huh?!" The angered, almost seething voice of Kadaj rang out through the cathedral walls of the church as she spoke softly. "I was just watching..." The moment was tense, that was for sure. He stood there, staring hard before finally flinching and speaking. "Gah...fine. So, why were you watching?" "I wasn't. I saw you come into town and thought maybe if I hid in here, you wouldn't see me." Again, silence. He spoke once again, this time his tone of voice sounding suspicious. "So...I take you heard what all I had said, huh?" She bowed her head, choosing not to say anything. He spoke. "So, what's your name?" "Tsuki." "Kadaj. Er...Doesn't matter. No one cares about us anyhow. We're gonna bring her back, no matter what...no matter who dares try to stop us. And if you try to stop me...well...I won't hesitate to end you where you stand..." And with that, he huffed impatiently and stormed out of the church. Tsuki, the pink haired woman stood there, now putting a finger to her lips in a thoughtful look, trying to think of something.

As Kadaj came back, he spotted his brothers over by their motorcycles. Yazoo was the first to speak. "So, did you clear your mind yet?" "Enough small talk. We're going to Shinra. We're getting the chemical to bring back our mother." "But Kadaj, I don't wanna..." "Can it Loz. We're going...now..." He spit out the last word in a rude tone before hopping onto his motorcycle, clicking it on and starting it. The other two just simply stared at him as he turned to them and spoke. "Well, what are you doing, standing there? Let's move. I don't have time to waste..." And with that, the other two hopped on their motorcycles respectively as they roared the engines to life, Kadaj speaking. "Next stop...Shinra..."

For the next hour, the only sounds that were heard was the winds whipping past the heads of the trio, and the monotonous tones of engines humming as the motorcycles tore through the desert unlike any other force in nature. Before they knew it, the Shinra building was beginning to surface out of the sandy dunes, Kadaj roaring the engine more as the vehicle lurched forward and sped all the more, the other two following suit. Within the next moments, they arrived, Kadaj hopping off of his motorcycle, keeping the engine sputtering still. He turned and spoke. "Wait here...alright?" He then made his mad march up to the doors of the building.

Before he could realize what was going on, the sirens of the base began to alarm quickly before he could so much as make it to the door. He took a few steps back before turning, seeing a familiar sight: the girl. Tsuki, whom looked out of breath, looked at Kadaj and then back down at the container before returning her gaze back to Kadaj. "You..." This had drawn the line for Kadaj; he revealed his plan to that girl, and now, she was taking away the chemicals that brought his mother back. The blood rushed to his face, clouding his judgment. "I knew I couldn't trust you!" And once again, for the second time that day, his anger surfaced unlike never before. And this girl, Tsuki, held the only key to success in bring their mother back. Little did he know once again, this girl was unique, and she wasn't about to give up the container without a fight as she took her stance, clutching the container as if there was no other way around the situation. It was tense, and now, the showdown was immenent.

Thanks for reading. So, Tsuki has taken the container. What does she plan to do with it now? How will Kadaj get it back? And what forces is Kadaj dealing with when facing an enemy he's never faced before? All this and more. For now, please re-read, comment, whatever you feel like. This is Muerte Xanders, signing out
