Peace and Relaxation My TAIL! (open)

[Reno]

Reno sat in the farthest corner of the bar so as to not be disturbed. The red headed Turk was drinking once again. However, not to the point where things were getting blurry. Eventually, he'd reach that point, knowing Reno. A ruckus broke out in the streets of Midgar and seeing as he was literally one of the few that attained the peace around here, got up reluctantly.

His metallic rod had been retracted so that he could put it into his pocket. Seeing as there may be a chance where he'd need to use it again, Reno had it extend after pulling it out of his right pocket. Having pressed a black button that made it do so. It irritated him to have left behind his half drunk drink behind as he left the bar. Looking around to find one hell of a sight.

There were a bunch of people facing each other off. They appeared to be in uniform. Just what was this all about? Reno slowly made his way to the side of what appeared to be a fight. Putting his free hand in his pocket as he let his rod rest upon his right shoulder. Giving them all a look with a raised eyebrow as he waited for them to take notice of him. "Hey...What cha guys doin'?" he asked them all.

Smirking a little in slight amusement. It was then that they all blinked over at him. One person had another in a headlock. The fight had ceased but might end up breaking out again. "You fellas DO know Midgar's got laws, right?" he inquired. Too bad Rude wasn't with him at the moment. He and Rude could easily end this whole thing right now. Reno wasn't aware that Gaia was being used to harbor Nexus's headquarters.

[Garnet Til Alexandros XIII]

Garnet was fuming. She finally escapes from her kingdom for a few days and travels to another city, and what does she find? A brawl. She wondered if she should just summon something to split and/or scare the brawlers away, or should she run into the fray swinging the rod at her hip? She saw a red haired man walk out of the bar and get a large metal rod out. Another summoner? She didnt think so, he had on the uniform of one of the Turks, one of the head fighters of Midgar. She didnt know if she should leave it to him, or if she should help him, there seemed to be alot of other fighters..... Eiko would know what to do, too bad the girl had gone back to the Lifa Tree. Garnet would have brought her with her on Bahumats back, but since all the worlds had crammed together, she no longer knew how to get to the Tree, its location changed. She took out the long golden rod, with its ruby on top and focused, chanting the name of Shiva, who had enough beauty and strength to split the brawlers up. She didnt want to bring attention to herself, but.... blue speckles of ice and magic trickled down, creating a large-ish sized circle of ice on the ground, which shattered and Shiva crashed through. Shiva's skin was blue, her light blue hair reaching down to her posterior. Shiva's clothes consisted of a breast band and a few cleverly placed leather straps. This Shiva looked quite different of the other countries' Shiva, all of them looked different and had different clothes, though Garnet had never gotten around to asking if they were different entities or the same ones in different forms. She told the floating woman to wait, hoping the brawlers would notice.

[Reno]

Reno could've easily handled the situation himself considering he was the leading authorities in this vicinity. A red eyebrow raised as a glowing icy blue aura caught his attention as well as everyone else's. What everyone was now looking up at was Shiva. Reno definitely recognized the ice woman summon. He glanced down towards the ground behind Shiva and spotted a brunette with a golden rod.

Just whom was that? No matter, he wasn't the type to care who was who these days. The brawlers had definitely stopped earlier when Reno spoke to them but now they were looking up at the ice summon with wide staring eyes. The guy that had been holding another guy in a headlock had let the other go and ran. Reno leaned on one leg as he watched the brawlers flee for their lives. Snickering, Reno commented "Chickens!"

His blue eyes then returned to the brunette and Shiva. He shifted his weight to the other leg as he let his metallic rod go to his side in an nonthreatening way. He had no intentions of using it on a girl. Not unless he was directly ordered to by Tseng or Rufus Shinra whom weren't here at the current moment. "Smart move, there...I could've handled it myself but thanks! Much appreciated!"

He took his free hand out of his pocket before giving her the thumbs up. A friendly half smirk was upon Reno's face. Reno didn't mind the idea of having to get involved in that brawl back there using his above average human level martial arts skills but that mystery lady over there made it much easier for him. Now he could most likely return to the bar and get himself yet another drink. "The name's Reno by the way....and you?" he inquired.

Reno didn't know for sure but there definitely seemed to be something else about this lady. The red headed Turk didn't fear Shiva at all. He had seen her a number of times in this area before.

[Garnet Til Alexandros XIII]

"I am.....Dagger." She said, using her adventurer name, still not quite sure if people here knew her name. She waved her hand and Shiva shot backwards, fading into the air behind her.

"And, I simply just hated seeing these people fighting."

She stuttered this out, slightly in fear of this man. She knew she could fight pretty well, but she didnt quite know how strong this man was. Although if she didnt act suspicious, she wouldnt be suspected. She slipped her Queen's Rod back into its loop around her waist. She warily walked closer to the man, noticing his eyes and markings around his eyes. He did however, drop his weapon to the side, which she was greatly satisfied by, and sighed an inward sigh of relief. It didnt seem that this would end in a fight.

Her hair, once again long after her adventuring days, blew in the wind of the street as she stopped in front of the man, looking up at him. She squinted her eyes, as if to try to examine the man, trying to find the terrifying-ness she had heard spoken about the aura of the Turks. She didnt find him scary, she found him quite pleasant actually. She stood back and smiled, waiting for the mans reply.

[Reno]

Reno watched this girl closely. Not as if he were checking her out but more so trying to see why his assumptions kept leading him that this woman was more than she seemed. Of course, she could obviously summon and use magic but there seemed to be more than just that. There was a certain air to her. Reno took note of how she responded. It appeared slightly slow and possibly hesitant.

Dagger? The red headed Turk had never heard of such a name before but then again, names here weren't exactly heard of often. "Dagger, eh? Interesting name!" he simply replied. Holding up his metallic rod, not in any hostile way, and pressed the black button upon it causing it to shrink back to a more comfortable and portable state. There was a black band that swung uselessly at the moment. As Reno lifted his right arm and placed the black band around his right wrist, this clearly proved what its use really was. Not entirely useless as it might've seemed earlier.

He let the rod, now six inches or a bit longer, swing a little to the movement of his hand and arm. The Turk's attention once again back on 'Dagger'. He might've seemed the friendliest out of the Turks but never underestimate him. He was capable of terrible deeds too just like his comrades. In fact, he was the main reason as to why the bomb was activated for the Sector Seven's plate to drop onto the Sector Seven slums. Despite that, he wasn't all that bad unless you got on his bad side. The only reason why he did what he had done in the past was because he was simply ordered to. Being a Turk, it was his job to obey orders unless, of course, he was on break then he wouldn't obey them even if he were given orders.

Reno had done that before when himself, Rude, and Elena were on break and were called being harassed by lower Shinra soldiers that they had new orders and deliberately ignored them simply stating that they were off duty. He was even 'nice' enough to let Cloud and the gang go peacefully after having to team up with them to locate Elena and Yuffie whom were both captured and held against their will by Don Corneo. Reno often smirked at the memory of disposing of that fat, blond, perverted, joke of a mafia boss.

His blue eyes remained normal as Dagger stuttered. Was there a hint of fear in her voice? Well, if she knew what he was of course he could clearly see why. Being a Turk meant he wasn't exactly considered one hundred percent good. In fact, Turks were used to do the usual retaining order of the peace but also the dirty work for Shinra too such as kidnapping and the like. Sometimes even being used to 'take out' anyone that opposed Shinra. That fact often set the Turks against Cloud's gang in the past. How very well he remembered it.

Dagger stopped stuttering but then walked up to him. Her eyes seemed to have squinted as though she were trying to tell what he was really like. That weapon she had was placed into a loop around her waist earlier. An odd weapon it was but a rod, judging by the previous appearance it held. Just where did she come from anyways? She didn't look exactly like she came from any of these parts. Maybe she was on another different part of Gaia? "...So....Dagger....which of these parts do you come from?" he questioned her. Keen enough to tell if she lied or not on this subject. Of course, it was very obvious she was a traveler but she was different from the usual travelers. Dagger just had that air to her.

[Kail Lancaster]

A white haired teen walks into the bar and shakes his haed a few times as it was raining out side really badly. As he did a lot of people backed off since he had white hair he could be a clone of Sephiroth or something like it. The Irony of it was that he also had the same name as the one winged angel. Sephiroth walks up to the bar.

"Yo can I get something here that does not have Alcohal in it" Sephiroth asked as he sits down the bartender gave him a non alcoholic drink. As he was injoying his drink a drunk was about throw a punch. Seph flicked his rist and a handgun pops out "Back you drunk ass idiot" he said and the drunk backs off and craped in his pants and ran away. Seph then put his gun back into his slevee and relaxes a bit.

[Garnet Til Alexandros XIII]

Garnet smiled, the man seemed to be a little less threatening with his weapon..... detracted. She narrowed her eyes playfully, putting her arms behind her back and dancing foot to foot a little.

"I have a home, but I'm planning on staying in Midgar a few days, where are you from? Do you live here, or......." She thought she already knew the answer to that question, but she wanted to change the subject away from her. She couldnt imagine what a Turk would do with the Queen of another kingdom. Eiko was her adopted daughter, so she would inherit the throne, but......

She put her hand over the top of the rod. The thing was pure gold, with lots of jewels on the top, and Garnet wanted to cover them. It wouldnt help to show she was wealthy, and that rod was a great indicator. Her yellow velvet clothing was dusty and worn, so that didnt look so, and she really didnt have any other indicators, maybe other than the way she carried herself.

"Yes, Dagger has..... carried me through many adventures."

She smiled, she had adventured with the name, and had met him..... although he was gone now, and she was starting to think the whole thing was a crush. She looked up at Reno, smiling a little, she wondered what his story was, he looked rather interesting, and his hair was very unique and interesting in itself.

"Do you want to go in and get a drink?"

[Kail Lancaster]

As the group enters the bar again another fight has broken out. The white haired teen that was in there was being attacked by several people. Sephiroth doged most of the strikes until he was hit in the arm by a empty beer bottle. And it broke sending glass shards into Seph's arm and some in his face.

"THATS IT YOUR ALL GOING DOWN" Seph yelled as he pulled two tonfa's from his jackit slevees and started kicking the hell out of several drunks. "Get him he's a Sephiroth clone kill him *hick*" said one of the drunks.

[Balthier]

The snap of a metal whip can be heard as the heavy weapon lashes into the backs of the drunks incapictating them. Quistis stands at the entrance to the bard looking dejected as her eyes scan across the room. No longer did she wear the same clothing as before, she now wore a tight fitting leather armor over her chest and padded blue pants with white boots. She sighs after the fight is finished and walks to the bar ordering a hard drink.

[Reno]

(Sorry I hadn't replied sooner than wanted ! I had issues concerning my sisters being on >_<!)

Reno wondered where his fellow Turks mebers were at the moment before being brought back to the present by what Dagger was saying. She hadn't exactly answered his question. However, she didn't appear threatening so there was no need to interrogate her for that piece fo information. The Turks didn't do anything to royalty unless they were ordered to do so by their boss.

They were Rufus Shinra's minions. Whatever he dished out as an order, they obeyed. No matter the circumstances. Reno blinked at Dagger a bit when she took on an odder appearance. It looked like she was being playful. No matter, the girls here all acted like that to some degree. He heard her asking him if he lived here. Well, of course he lived around these parts. "Well, I wouldn't say I'm FROM here but I do live around these parts....maybe not specifically Midgar but I get around." His answer was just as cloudy as her's.

Mainly because Reno really didn't stay home long. He was always out on the field doing assignments and was lucky to have just gotten a break for the time being. He may have appeared less threatening without his weapon but truth be told, his martial arts skills were pretty damn good as well.

He raised an eyebrow when Dagger mentioned that Dagger had carried her through many adventures. So, maybe she really wasn't called Dagger. "I see....well, I'm not always in one place either....I am usually out and about!" he said. Usually the gossipy one out of the Turks. Maybe even the most amiable but never get on his bad side.

It was then that Dagger asked him if he wanted to get a drink. Glanicng back towards the bar, Reno shrugged in response. "...I already had a few drinks but....still normal." Honestly, Reno could drink many an alcoholic beverage before passing out or ending up truly drunk. "Midgar isn't exactly much but uh...hope you're enjoying it!" he said as he turned to the bar and lead the way in. Only to find yet another fight. Reno rolled his blue eyes at this before taking note of those that either started or broke the fight.

One he recognized from appearance but not name. It was that teenager in Kail's picture and the other....was the Scarlet look alike. Quistis was here too! Last time Reno knew of her she had been unconscious from having used a large amount of magic. Reno wasn't exactly too sure about Quistis but the other seemed er...welcoming. He gestured for Dagger as he approached the bar. Seating himself slyly in a seat two seats down from Quistis and then giving the white haired teenager a curious look.

He looked JUST like Sephiroth yet the eyes were very different. Reno had gripped his weapon tightly in response but calmed down seeing that this teenager wasn't a clone. Reno would be able to tell if this kid was. Mainly by the eyes and attitude. Plus, he had been in Kail's group picture so Reno had no reason to feel threatened. He beckoned the bartender so that Dagger could purchase her drink.

[Kail Lancaster]

After busting a few heads Seph sit down at the bar again "Yo barkeep get me a pepsi now if you can" he asked as Sephiroth needed a real sugar fix right now. Most of the barflys kept away from Seph at the damage he could do. He then starts geting the glass that was embeded in his arm and some on his face. After he did that he used a Cure spell to heal him self.

[Garnet Til Alexandros XIII]

Hearing a explosion of yelling and glass breaking, Garent ducked a little, as the noise reminded her of once in her kingdom when a mob of thiefs had attempted to kill and steal the Queen's Rod, and Garnet had to regretfully kill them with Ifrit. She turned and saw however, that it was simply another bar fight. Sighing in relief, Garnet followed Reno to the bar, and was quite pleased to find the fight over. She stepped over a few.... not-moving bodies and looked at the selection, used to the finer wines, labels, and brands of alcohol of her country, she was quite lost. Not wanting to draw suspicion to herself, she ordered a "Hard Tequila."

She smiled thankfully at the Bartender and also nodded in thanks. Not quite sure what what her drink was, she brought the large mug of it to her mouth, and took a large gulp, she spit out the small amount of alcohol she had'nt gulped down. She choked and coughed, not used to such hard liquor, she was used to wine, which her servants had (she doesnt know this) watered down a little. Her head began to swim. She pushed away her mug, she didnt want to drink this much.

"*cough* Thi......*hic* ith..... terrehbleh...." she slightly spit out, very slurred, as this was VERY alcoholic. (This is terrible.)

Her vision began to swim, and she fell over onto Reno, where she began to giggle. She looked up at him mirthfully, not even thinking much about what she was saying.

"I nevah ha stuff like thith in my castle...... It kinda burnth..."she felt rather drowsy, she clutched his shirt, passing out onto him. Maybe this is why 16 year olds shouldnt drink alcohol.

[Balthier]

As Quistis sits there silently drinking a familar figure walks in. A tall imposing bald headed figure, he looks behind his sunglasses. His well groomed appearance made him look like the bouncer to the finest club in the land. He sees Reno and walks toward him with an almost amused look on his face.

"Well Reno, I didn't know you were into kids, that explains a lot"

[Reno]

Reno glanced over at the white haired teenager again as he began to pull out glass from his hand and face. That looked painful. It was then that he heard Dagger, seeming to be far younger than the right drinking age, had ordered a Hard Tequila. Reno's eyebrows raised as he looked over at her and said "I wouldn't do that if I were-!" it was too late. She had already drunk the drink. She had coughed and sputtered but, despite that, she was still made drunk from it since it was an extremely alcoholic beverage.

'Now I know why kids aren't allowed to drink this stuff!' he thought. Smirking slightly at the other's slurred words. It was kind of funny but then again, it wasn't. Dagger had no idea what the hell she was saying or doing. The red headed Turk was surprised when Dagger fell on him. 'Uh....this isn't er....good!' he thought as he peered at her in confusion. The teenager was giggling. His eyebrows furrowed as she let slip about something pertaining to her castle. So...there was something about this teenager than met the eyes.

Reno managed a roll of his blue eyes as the other clutched at his shirt before passing out on him. He shook his head at this before saying, well, muttering "I can clearly see why the drinking age is an appropriate one!" A voice came from behind and Reno, with difficulty because of the passed out Dagger, made the stool turn about to face Rude. His long time partner in crime. "Hey buddy!" he greeted with the usual smirk he gave Rude. It was then that he caught what Rude had just said.

Reno shook his head before saying "NO! She just got drunk and the next thing I knew she was passed out on me! I DON'T take advantage of kids, Rude. YOU know that!" He looked a tad ruffled from the comment. Reno never hurt any kids younger than himself unless ordered to do so. In the past, Reno had managed to save a kid from the Bahamut Sin's attack. The kid stuck his fingers up Reno's nose then but at least the kid was alive. Especially when Reno ran. He was pretty fast when the situation was needed.

Him and Rude came out of that ordeal alive. Reno could clearly tell attention had been sparked by the unconscious Dagger. Drunks were eying her hungrily but with Reno there and Rude they wouldn't dare. An icy glare at them made them back off. No one was dumb enough to mess with Rude and Reno. Knowing their reputations. "So, pal....how're things going?" he managed to ask Rude. "After Tifa again?" he questioned slyly. Getting some revenge for the kids comment from Rude. He was speaking loud enough for Quistis or Sephiroth to hear if they felt like eavesdropping.

Casting a glance at Dagger. Having no clue what the hell to do with her. He wasn't going to do anything bad to her. The thing was, where to put her? This clearly wasn't a good situation for him to be thrown into.

[Kail Lancaster]

Sephiroth looks over at Reno and then this girl that went by Dagger. Seph remember Reno from Kail's office and that battle at that space station some time ago and walked over "So uh Reno need a bit of help there" he asked and sat on the other side of Garnet and kept an eye out for some stupid ass drunk that might take advantage of this poor girl.

[Balthier]

Rude has an amused smile by Reno's reaction to the kid comment. It was one of his favorite things to get Reno worked up over things that both of them knew weren't true. He takes a vacant seat nearby and orders his usual drink. It wasn't until he had a few sips that he bothered to reply to Reno.

"Tifa? I nearly forgot about her with the missions I've been on lately. Who knows what she's doing, if she wasn't already with Cloud I would be surprised." Rude says. A drunk glares at him but Rude gave a return that made the guy cower in fear. He then looks at Reno. "You know, we should get that kid out of here before those guys start to get gutsy...if you and I are distracted cracking skulls, someone might get lucky." Rude says. Though he was an unchallenged badass, he had his soft spot for kids...until he was ordered to do otherwise.

[Garnet Til Alexandros XIII]

Garnet felt something.... warm. And it smelt good. It was very reminscent of Zidane, but that fool was too much of a womanizer. Then Garnet noticed the noises around her, and that it WASNT Zidane, but that taller man she didnt know well. She shot back a few steps, blushing deeply, bumped into a stool, and in her drunken state, fell to her bottom, which smarted on the wooden floor.

This tailbone to hardwood floor was bad, but not quite as bad as the table she landed near, which consisted of a large group of horny drunks, all of which who quickly got up to "play" with her..... not quite so aware state. They carried wooden bats, some sort of sign they were in a gang of the area. Three grabbed the girl and ran out of the bar, the rest (about twenty or so) charged at Reno and Rude, knowing that they would follow.

A minute or so later, Garnet was in the gangs hideout, a little shop in an alley. She was still very drunk, and before she knew it, her velvet overalls were off, this still left her baggy white shirt, and gloves, and of course, she has underwear.

Garnet realized where she was, what state she was in, and what these men were about to do to her. She screamed, which activated her trance. Her trance made a beautiful elegant white gown, making a beautiful silver woven-looking crown appear on her head, making her look all the Queen she was. Her Trance allowed her to summon two summons at once, instantly. Shiva once again appeared in front of the whimpering and terrified gangmembers, made even more terrified by Ifrit, a large fire breathing demon. Summons from Garnets world looked FAR different from the summons of this place, and they didnt recognize these monsters. Shiva froze their feet, stopping them from running. Ifrit blasted them into death with fire, the wall exploding out into the alley, creating large hole in the wall. Garnet passed out from stress, and the compounding alcohol. Shiva lifted her, and placed her upon a large bed of ice. Then they both faded, leaving her in her dress spread out on the bed, in the hole, the smoke rising around her, and inside the black charred hole.

Garnet's last thoughts as she went into darkness was that she wasnt sure if she liked this town.

[bladedwind]

The door suddenly burst open. Somebody had most likely kicked it open, and that figure was now in the doorway. He was dressed in a strange, fruity outfit that looked like a sleeveless hakama with floral design. The man had purple hair and strong eyes. Long story short, not somebody one would like to screw with. He walked up the bar, an ax in his hand. The bar tender cowered in fear, expecting to be chopped to bits....

"Gimme a beer!"

The bar tender sighed in relief. Apparently, the guy wasn't here to kill anyone.

[Kail Lancaster]

"AH hell" said Sephiroth as he ran out when he had the chance and ran after the gang that took Garnet. As he got there he saw a huge blast of fire and ice coming out of one of the walls. As he walked in he saw Garnet laying on a bed of pure Ice. Seph walked through the hole and picked her up. And got the hell out of there as he was now looking for a inn.

[Reno]

Reno nearly had a heart attack when the unconscious Dagger woke up again. She had gotten off and the next thing he knew she had fallen back into a table. Six drunks had gotten up and were surrounding her. Reno, not liking this one bit, jumped to his feet. The worst thing that could happen is if any of these drunks managed that deed.

"Rude!" he exclaimed as he whippped his weapon into its retracted state and held it firmly in his right hand. Narrowing his eyes at the men. It was then that they picked up Dagger and ran out of the bar. "DAMN!" Reno said. His blue eyes now focused on the men with the bats. He peered over his shoulder at Rude before nodding and then leaping into action. Sephiroth had gotten a head start.

The red headed Turk managed a round house kick to one of the men wth the bat's heads sending him flying into another one. "Think you guys are tough? Well, we've got news for ya....we're the Turks and you picked the wrong guys to mess with!" he taunted them before blocking an oncoming bat with his metallic rod and then bringing up an elbow to smash it in the man's face.

Reno basically plowed through the men as best he could and managed to get out of the door and into the streets. When he had, there was Sephiroth running after the other men. Reno sped off after them doggedly. His metallic rod not electrified yet. It was then that he came to a halt and looked around wondering where the others had gone off to. He spotted Sephiroth coming out and holding Dagger.

This was a great relief. The kid was alright. Reno exhaled in relief as he approached Sephiroth whom was now looking for an inn, it seemed. "So...Dagger's more than she appeared to be earlier...if I didn't know any better, she seems to me like she was some sort of princess or queen!" he said as he took note of the change of Dagger's appearance. Bringing his attention towards Sephiroth, he asked "Are you alright?"

Sephiroth was a teenager too, so being older it was likely Reno would ask if the other was okay or not. It was like an instinct that the elders asked the younger ones if they were fine after an incident like that. This place wasn't exactly a safe place for youngsters. Midgar contained a lot of criminals more than any other town had in these parts of Gaia. Reno decided to stay nearby in case he'd be needed. In case of another ambush.

[Kail Lancaster]

"Yeah but I am not sure about her though is there a place were she can be safe" asked Sephiroth as he him self was on guard as well. Seph may have not look like it but he was armed to the teeth with hidden weapons. But it seemed that a certant blond mob boss was walking up with several heavly armed goons. The Mob Boss inquestion was Don Corneo he must have cheated death once again.

Seph looks back "Say Reno these guys friends of your or something" he asked as Don Corneo looked red in the face at the site of Reno.

[bladedwind]

"....What the hell?! Why can't people have a normal drink around here?!"

As these words were spoken, a sickening THACK was heard, and a drunkard with holding a steel pipe fell forward from the corner, dead and bleeding from a large gash in his head. The man with the ax from early stepped forward, shaking his head.

"This whole world is goddamn crazy. i just wanted to drink my goddamn beer in goddamn peace! Dammit!"

[Garnet Til Alexandros XIII]

Garnet once again woke up, and again it was very warm, and smelled good. Not the same as last time though, it was good, but different. She opened her eyes, remembering what she last remembered. She quickly grabbed her rod and back-cartwheeled out of Sephiroth's arms. She got into a fight position, and within seconds, Shiva was behind her, ready to fight.

She blinked a few times, looked at her comrades in front of her, and looked down at herself. She blushed heavily, casting an Esuna spell, clearing her blood of alcohol. This was going to require some rational thought. She didnt however, unsummon her summon, she might need her if the men got mad enough.

"I.... uh..... This is.... ummm.... I.... uh....."

She stuttered over her words. She couldnt exactly say she was a Queen, especially one of another kingdom. Then she saw Eiko down the street. And Eiko saw her, her eyes widening wide.

"Oh no." she breathed out.

"QUEEEEEN GAAAAAAAARNET!!!!!!!!!!" Eiko yelled fiestily, probably angry about her disappearance. The young blue haired seven year old ran down the street, luckily empty at the time. The girl ran right into her legs, getting absorbed slightly into her dress.

The girl noticed this.

"Why did you use your limit break?"

[Balthier]

Momentarily after Reno finds Garnet, Rude catches up. He stayed behind to deal with the drunks while Reno went ahead to find the girl. It was business as usual for him, a right hook here, a left cross there. The drunks were nothing compared to the Turk. His work was left for all to see back at the bar as the drunks lay strewn about broken tables and thrown through walls. Many of them had bones broken and were too much in pain to even walk.

As he witnessed the scene with Don Cornero he kept quiet this time as is typical. Rude always was more of a listener than a speaker, preferring to let his actions speak louder than his words. Seeing Don Corneo, Rude wondered just how that man survived. Didn't he get taken a long time ago in Wutai by the Turks? It was no matter, if it came to be neccessary he would finish the job himself. He cared very little for perverts, especially those who would do things to children. In his mind, he almost wished Corneo would try something.

[Reno]

Reno nodded to what Sephiroth was saying and was about to answer when his eyes fell on a familiar mafia boss that Reno could've sworn he killed before. His face went from the amiable one to the nasty serious one again. He stepped towards Don Corneo, not threatened by the heavily armed goons in the least. He took note of Don Corneo's reddened face and gave a nasty grin.

"So....look who's back from the dead!" he commented. Acting as though this were a surprise. "I thought we killed you back in Wutai?!" Reno stated. The look in Reno's eyes clearly told what he was intending to do again. Don Corneo had run off with their team mate Elena and Yuffie. Trying to chose one of them that he planned on marrying. That pervert was the reason why Cloud and the gang teamed up with the Turks. After having stomped on Don Corneo's hand hard and watched him fall, Reno and Rude got back Elena and let Cloud and the others go despite their orders.

Reno glanced over his shoulder upon hearing what sounded like a seven year old shouting something about a queen. It was Dagger this kid had run up to and was calling Dagger not Dagger but Garnet. Reno brought his vicious gaze back on Don Corneo. "You know what we Turks have to once again do to you...right?!" he said in a low menacing tone. His metallic rod slung over his shoulder as he faced the Don. He leaned on one leg before saying "Or do we have to refresh your memory?"

They were once again in front of that bar. It sounded like a commotion was going on in there again but Reno didn't care right now. He had been given orders by the older president of Shinra, as well as Rude and the rest of the Turks, to assassinate this man. With the seven year old here, it may be a tough thing to do. Peering over his shoulder, he said "This is going to get ugly....someone get that kid out of here before it breaks out."

His peripheral vision was on Don Corneo and his goons. Reno was a bit relieved to see Rude had caught up with them. Of course, those drunks back in the bar weren't a match for him either. Rude was a lot tougher than that. Keeping his cool, Reno looked back at the goons and the Don. Taking on a battle stance. Knowing very well this may break into a fight.

"A queen huh well then this might make me some money then" thought Sephiroth and desided to speak. "Milady you can explain this later as we have some garbage to take care of" he said and bowed infront of Garnet and turned around to face the fat ass Don Cornero.

"WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN I TRY AND GET A WIFE THIS $HIT HAPPENS" Don Cornero yelled as his face was red with anger. "AND YOU TWO" he points at both at Reno and Rude "I will never forget what you two did to me and for that you will die right here and right now" he said and snaped his fingers. As he did that two huge winged dragons desend and start floating in the air right in front of Don Cornero.

"Meet Draaps and Daaps these two are here to kill you now" he said and trusted his arm up and pointed at Reno and Rude "GO get them my pets" Don Cornero commaned them. Both dragons came after the Turk duo.

"On second thought lets get you out of here" Sephiroth said as he turned to Garnet and Eiko.

Rude came to one conclusion, one course of action. He had a mission outstanding that he was obligated to finish. He tightens his gauntlets and pulls out a green orb that he had from his pocket. It was a Time Materia. Attaching the small orb to a hole in the palm of the glove, he held his hand slightly forward and said a simple word: "Hastega..."

The power of time itself enwrapped Rude and Reno accelerating their movements. He then looks to Reno and then at Corneo indicating his intent to finish the fat bastard directly before he could get away. Moving much faster than before, which wasn't slow by any means, he runs past the dragons and straight for Corneo. He tackles the fat man down and clenches his fist causing a bladed spike to come out of a small unit on top of the glove. He thrusts for the fat man's head quickly intending to kill him in a single blow.

Green magic sparklies rose in a spiral around the young girl, her face no longer happy or carefree.

"Fire Arise! Burn these foes to nothing! Phoenix!"

A fire storm appeared below the dragons, and a large golden bird burst out, shooting fire at the two dragons above.

"Burn them Phoenix, burn the right bastard!"

"Go, Shiva! Freeze the left one! And watch your mouth Eiko!"

The two summons shot upwards, twisting around eachother, and shot downwards, shooting towards the dragons after they were a few feet off the ground, intercepting them. Phoenix grasped Draaps in its talons, squeezing its neck as it breathed fire. Shiva slammed into Daaps chest, grabbing it, and slamming it into the ground, then began to throw small bullets of ice at high speeds, the bullets ripping through it's body.

The two females held hands, looking fierce at Sephiroth.

"We are heroes of our world, we can handle this ourselves you filthy git!" The young girl said boastfully.

"Eiko! Be nice. I'm sorry, but we can fight too."

"....I don't know what the hell is going on, but I don't like the ugly fatass over there. He's responsible for this shit, eh?"

Karsh stalked over to Don Corneo, swing the ax at his face. It stopped less then an inch from his face.

"You have ten seconds to run away screaming at the top of your lungs before I seperate your head from your shoulders."

"Well then I might as well pull out the big guns as well" said Sephiroth as he turned around as a pure white aura flared around him. From with in his jackit he pulls out a large rod as he does so he taps a button. From the top of the rod a sword blade pops out.

"Hey you guys do what your payied for" yelled Don Corneo as he tryied to get out of Rude's hold that he had on him but stoped when he saw Karsh's Axe at his neck. The goons pulled out several weapons and charged at Rude as they did not want to lose there pay check.

The two dragons are on there last legs in there last act they fuse and become a much larger dragon that had two heads. One of the heads breathed fire on the ice maiden Shiva the other breathed a icy blue fire at the Phoenix.

Sephiroth seemed to teleport from one side of the battle field to the other side as he did he sliced up several of the goons with ease. As he did that some these guys had there arms or legs cut off. He was like mirage as he did the attacks on the goons.
