Chapter 14: The Chase
Aerith, Barret, Tifa, and Red XIII arrived back in the lobby. It was now deserted. A couple of lobby chairs were turned over, as if everyone had left in a hurry. Spots of blood on the floor suggested Sephiroth, along with his prize, had left through there.
"I'll go on ahead!" announced Barret as he stormed through the front door.
Aerith, Red XIII, and Tifa heard the sound of gunfire outside. Barret stormed back in before they could fear the worst.
"Fuck…surrounded, huh?" muttered Barret. "If I was alone this wouldn't be a thing but, I gotta reputation to protect."
"You all get out while you can," suggested Aerith. "It's not you they're after. It's me."
"Yeah, well that ain't happening," said Barret. "You got caught up in this over Marlene. Now, it's my turn to watch out for you!"
"Thank you, Mr. Barret!"
He grimaced. "Who you callin' Mr. Barret? That don't sound right! And for the record, my last name is Wallace! How come nobody 'round here acknowledges last names?"
"Beats me," Aerith replied. "But for the record, mine's Gainsborough."
"Well then," began Red XIII, "if you are through talking, may I suggest that we think of a way to get out of here?"
"Huh? Oh, oh yeah...you a cold man. Just like someone else 'round here I know," said Barret, thinking of Cloud.
"Did you say something?" asked Red XIII.
"Not a thing," Barret replied. "So what're we gonna do?"
"I've got an idea," Tifa announced. "Follow me!" Before anyone could open their mouths, she led them to a truck on display. "Everyone in the back!" she ordered as she got in the driver's seat.
Barret groaned. "Tifa, are you sure this is a good…"
Before he could finish, the four of them could hear the sound of what appeared to be rather loud thunder. Moments later, Cloud came down the stairs, riding on one large motorcycle, crashing through a glass decoration.
"Anyone wanna ride bitch?" he announced.
"Where's Rufus?" asked Tifa
"I couldn't finish him," Cloud replied. "He got away in a helicopter. Looks like this is gonna get complicated."
"No kidding," Tifa replied. "Ready?"
"Ready."
They simultaneously drove down the guards at the front door and made their way to the motorway.
MEANWHILE...
The helicopter landed quietly at the Midgar Airport at the outer edge of Sector Three. Out came Rufus and Palmer. Reeve, and Hojo were awaiting them.
"Mr. President," began Reeve, "we'd all like to extend out condolences."
"Skip it," Rufus ordered. "I miss him already," he continued sarcastically. "Right now, my life is in jeopardy. Hell, all of ours are. Nobody told me Sephiroth was alive, let alone a member of Avalanche."
"Mr. President," Hojo began, "I don't think Sephiroth is associated with them."
"I saw it with my own eyes," Rufus retorted. "Cloud defended him verbally and said we can't have him. He even stabbed poor Dark Nation."
"Dark Nation wasn't my best experiment," Hojo said.
"Exactly," agreed Rufus. "Which is what we have to worry about. He made off with Jenova. What could he possibly want with that?"
"He doesn't know the whole story," Hojo replied. "He thinks Jenova is actually his birthmother."
"How long until Junon?" asked Rufus.
"One hour, fifteen minutes," Hojo replied.
"Well, shit!" Rufus exclaimed. "Why couldn't they finish the Shinra 2000 yet?"
"Budget cuts," Hojo reminded.
"For your experiments?" accused Rufus.
Before Hojo could respond, the staff spotted Bestla, standing proudly in front of them.
"You!" exclaimed Reeve.
"You've seen her before?" asked Rufus.
"Right before the pillar was destroyed," Reeve replied.
"Well," said Bestla, "now that we're here…"
"The president is in no mood for sales," Hojo informed her. "He just lost his father."
"Oh please," Bestla dismissed. "We all know you hated that man."
"Thank you, that will be all," Reeve said.
"And his shenanigans," Bestla added.
"Vamoose," ordered Palmer.
"He had two illegitimate sons in Midgar that he knew about," Bestla continued. "And one in Nibelheim that he didn't."
Rufus promptly gave the signal with his right index finger. Soldiers pointed and cocked their guns in less than a second.
"You boys have some pretty big guns," Bestla complimented. "Nice and long. It really turns me on." She lowered her straps and allowed her red dress to fall to the ground, exposing her bare breasts, her panties (which were, of course, red), and five sticks of dynamite strapped to her midriff. "How 'bout a blowjob?"
The soldiers duly placed their firearms on the ground and stepped away from them.
"Good boys," Bestla said. "Now, Rufus…"
No answer.
"Quit staring at my tits and listen to me!" Bestla ordered. "I'm willing to cut a deal with you. In exchange for some gun-bombs, I'm willing to assassinate Cloud for you."
Rufus grunted. "You realize the gun-bombs are in a secret location. One you'll never know if you blow us all up, right?"
Bestla nodded.
"Bring me Cloud in a body bag," ordered Rufus. "And you can have some."
The new president and his staff boarded the presidential plane. "Bombs, he means," Hojo clarified as he disappeared into the plane.
The presidential plane took off as Bestla redressed herself. Aboard the plane, Rufus confined himself to the presidential suite with Hojo, Palmer, and Reeve.
"What could Bestla want with the gun-bombs," asked Rufus.
"No idea," Palmer replied. "All they are is orbs that shoot bullets in all directions upon impact. The Weapons Department now regards them as obsolete. In fact, they're about to halt production."
"Reeve," ordered Rufus. "I don't trust that girl the least. Deploy the Turks."
"Will do," Reeve acknowledged.
"Now, regarding Sephiroth," Rufus continued. "Where could he be taking Jenova?"
"It's impossible to tell," replied Hojo.
"What could he possibly be looking for? He mentioned the Promised Land."
"I'm not familiar with Cetra mythology," Hojo replied. "But he seems bent on revenge against us."
"For what?" asked Rufus.
"Doing experiments on Jenova," Hojo replied.
"She's a fucking alien!" Rufus declared as he pulled a small baggy out of his pocket and spilled the contents onto a table next to him. "That's what we do with them when they land!"
"He sees her as his mother," Hojo said.
Rufus began separating the powder into lines. "And now we have that…thing roaming free." He absorbed one of the lines with his nose. "Has all hell broken loose?"
"More or less," Hojo replied.
"We need to have a little talk in private sometime soon," Rufus said.
"Yes, sir," Hojo replied as he left the suite.
"As for you, Reeve," continued Rufus as he finished another line. "I have a special job for you."
"What kind of a job?" asked Reeve.
"Like my father," Rufus continued, "I'm fond of ancient music. Ever hear an ancient song called The Inner Light?"
Reeve shook his head.
"How would you like to know all things on Earth without going out of your door?"
MEANWHILE...
"How did it go?" asked Nara as Bestla returned to the bridge.
"Rufus knows how to play ball," Bestla replied.
"You showed your boobs again, didn't you?"
Bestla did not dignify that with response.
"So what now?" asked Nara.
"The gun-bombs are only Plan B," Bestla answered. "Sephiroth doesn't realize that his days are numbered."
Nara paused. "You're going to kill Sephiroth?!"
"Why not?" asked Bestla. "I killed Cloud, didn't I?"
"But even Cloud doesn't know exactly where Sephiroth is!" Nara protested.
"True," Bestla replied. "But I know where he will be. Ever hear of the Temple of the Ancients?"
Nara nodded the affirmative. "That's where the Black Materia was found."
"Exactly," Bestla replied. "Sephiroth will be there. So will Cloud. Even Tseng will be there."
"Tseng?" asked Nara.
"One of the Turks," Bestla explained. "He was stabbed by Sephiroth while down there."
"Did he die?"
"No," Bestla replied. "It looked like he did. Everyone thought he did. It was even announced he did through bad communication. But he recovered and helped evacuate Midgar when Meteor fell. He also survived a collapsing building, as well as an encounter with Sephiroth's children."
"Children?!" exclaimed Nara.
"It's complicated," said Bestla.
SOMEWHERE ELSE...
Cloud had lost count of the miles he had ridden. He had been spending most of the ride defending his friends in the truck. Shinra soldiers would pursue them, attacking the truck and the persons inside. Tifa was the prime target; disable her, and their escape would be foiled. And then Aerith and Red XIII would be captured again (and presumably cross-bred), while Tifa and Barret would likely be shot on the spot for their actions.
At first, the truck was attacked by three soldiers at once. Cloud quickly dispatched them with his sword, one by one. His victory was short-lived, however, when three more soldiers quickly assembled around the truck. And then three more. And then two more. Two more. One more. One more.
Eventually, the soldiers didn't come at all. Neither Cloud nor Tifa dared to look back. They were focused on escaping the city. Once free of the city, they would be hard to track. They would be free of pursue Sephiroth.
And then, it happened. Without warning, something hit the truck, causing it to turn over on its side and skid to the side of the motorway. Cloud, quickly and simultaneously, hit the brakes and spun the motorcycle 180 degrees, just in time to see a giant, six-wheeled vehicle advancing on them. There were spikes on the wheels, and the crippled truck was only fifty feet in front of it.
Cloud, without thinking twice, cast lightning on the vehicle. It appeared to have no effect, as it kept advancing forty-five feet away from it's destination. Then forty feet. Then thirty-five. Then thirty.
And then, it exploded, causing debris to fly everywhere. Cloud instinctively ducked to the ground. He could feel the debris fly over his head. He then got up and ran over to the downed truck. The first person he saw was the driver.
"Tifa!" Cloud exclaimed. "Are you okay?"
"I scraped my elbow but I'm fine," Tifa replied.
He then ran to the back of the truck. "Aerith!" he called. "Are you all right?"
"I fell on my butt!" she complained. "What hit us?"
"A motor ball," Cloud replied. "One of Shinra's favorite all-terrain vehicles."
"I think I'm down to eight lives," Red XIII announced.
"Save it," Barret ordered. "My left arm hurts!"
Cloud promptly helped Aerith out of the truck. Tifa, Barret, and Red XIII climbed out thereafter.
"This has been the craziest day of my life!" Tifa sighed as she got to her feet.
"I've had worse," Aerith replied.
