“Sir,” came a voice from inside the Costa SOLDIER’s non-la. Timal stopped and regarded the hardwired com-link in his helmet, “we have a situation at the reactor,” the bulletin continued but said no more.
“Hmmm…” was the SOLDIER’s only reply. He turned to the small group and nodded.
The First Class could feel himself warm a bit between his thighs. His cousin, Reno and two sexy women…sexy men and women were all he needed to ensure an evening filled with yanking and stickiness.
“Timal! No fantasizing!” A slap from his cousin, Benton, made sure his mind was where it should be.
The SOLDIER shook off his thoughts of naughtiness and slowly encompassed real reality. “The village is burning,” he whispered to himself and put his closed left fist to his chin, “and the rector problem needs to be addressed.”
“Yeah!” Norelliies barked recovering her helmet and put a hand to her hip.
“I’m getting to that-I’m getting to that!” The man turned to Leira and put his helmet back on. “You are an Elite, thusly,” he said in a nasty tone, “You’ll be coming with me.” He focused on everyone within earshot and bellowed, “Well, kiddies, it’s been swell but she and I have a date!” With a mighty lunge, he grabbed Leira by the wrist and strung her along behind him.
“What’s he doing?!” Norelliies gasped as Reno tried to run after them.
“Is okay,” smiled the pilot as he pushed up his sleeves, “He’s not the type to really hurt anyone…unless they want to be.”
The Wutaian SOLDIER led Leira to a large black and gold Mako powered motorcycle. The bike had two large wheels with deep treads for maximum traction. The front, back and sides of the Shinra vehicle had bulletproof scoops to protect the rider and passenger’s legs from road hazards and enemies.
“You and me, babe.” Timal said as he released her.
Leira felt uneasy as she watched him give her thumbs up before sliding a leg over the padded leather seat of the bike. Reluctantly, she put her helmet back on and got on behind him. She wrapped her arms loosely around his waist as he jumped the accelerator.
“Wait, Timmy! That’s my chick!” Reno hollered and was greeted by a cloud of dust as the motorcycle sped off toward Mount Nibel.
“Reno,” Tseng hollered from somewhere off in the distance, “Will you get in!”
The Turk turned just in time to get out of the way. A sleek black luxury class sedan swung out in front of him spewing even more dust and debris his way. As Reno put his arms up to protect himself, the driver’s side door flew open and Rude hopped over the counsel compartment so that Reno could drive; it was his car after all.
As was the trend, Tseng sat in the back. He flicked a switch on the center armrest and put the bulletproof window back up. “Let’s get moving; we’ve got a reactor to secure!”
“Why did you have to bring my car?” Reno whined as he buckled in.
Timal and Leira were already miles ahead and were just about up to the mountain’s base. “So, you ever been to the wondrous Nibelheim?”
Leira looked at the back of the SOLDIER’s helmet. “Not that I can remember,” she yelled in response over the loud engine, “Why?”
“Oh. No big.”
“Can I ask why?”
The SOLDIER gave a concealed shrug for he himself wasn’t even sure why he asked. He had only been in the burning town for a couple days and had never set foot in it before the blaze, on his own.
Most of the trip was made in silence and it bothered Leira to a degree. She could do nothing but watch dust and dirt disperse as the motorcycle powered through ripping and grinding the soil beneath its deep black tire treads. Every so often, she would see a group of giant native bugs watch their ascent then later run from the noise. If it weren’t for the roar of the engine and our speed, she figured, you’d be on us like stink on shit.
“So what’s the big plan? What are we doing?” Leira pressed to make some kind of small talk.
“The boys up the hill are having problems,” came the flat reply then nothing but more silence.
Leira was at a loss for words. She didn’t have anything against this man and was trying her hardest to make it up to him for their altercation back in the village.
The Shinra motorcycle wavered a bit and she felt the driver tense suddenly. “Oi, that’s not good,” he stated totally devoid of emotion.
From out of nowhere, a huge black bird had appeared causing hazardous gusts of wind with its great flapping wings.
“What is it?!” Leira shrieked and rocked the bike even more making it even harder to control.
“Stop, STOP THAT!” Timal lost control and the motorbike hit a rock causing the two to topple off and into the unfinished road.
The Elite flew off sideways, plowing a track into some loose gray soil while the SOLDIER was sent off backwards through the air. He landed on his back nearly missing an assortment of sharp gigantic boulders.
The massive winged beast darted in closer to Timal, prepping for an attack. Leira jumped to her feet and set about trying to determine which materia she should use to frighten or kill the monster. Timal, on the other hand backed himself against one of the rocks and tried to figure a way out of his impending demise. He too thought about materia use. “Frigging Zu!” he yelled at the creature as if it were a disobedient pet. The hungry bird grabbed at his arm and body tearing away bits of his armor with each swoop. The SOLDIER needed some sort of distraction, something to cause the bird to back away and let him plan. Running on pure instinct, he reached up, yanked off his helmet, and threw it at the creature suspended above him. Being trained to deal with creatures and other human beings was simple in a controlled situation or in a simulation but out in the real world, he quickly realized how seemingly easy tasks could go awry.
Leira touched a green gem on her materia bracelet and began to recite a fire spell. In an instant, a small flash of flame appeared just above the SOLDIER’s head and ignited the demonic bird. Timal tried his best to slink down and roll out of the way but it became near impossible, as the Zu was getting lower and lower still entangled in the flames; it squawked and snapped its bright orange beak as rage began to overtake it.
After holding back a small degree of fear, he got to his knees and finally crawled out of the way. When he felt like he was far enough away, he approached the crashed motorcycle and grabbed for his sidearm in the saddlebag compartment.
Leira ran to the SOLDIER while casting round after round of fire. “BURN, BURN BURN!” she bellowed before each flare. Her reluctant partner cleared out the loaded pistol and checked the tiny materia he had imbedded in the plastic grip. “Bio, fire, and ice,” he recited as he pulled the trigger repeatedly until an entire magazine emptied into his attacker. The occasional ribbon of flame snaked down from the Zu’s body and licked at the poor SOLDIER scorching more of his own body and armor. Clearly, the weakened Zu’s late night snack was not too keen on being eaten so it decided to leave it alone and flew off to recover.
Leira dropped to her knees in exhaustion; her fellow Shinra operative placed his hands on the ground then puked up his lunch. The harrowing ordeal had proven too much for the poor man as he wearily forced himself to his feet.
Both of them were pale and shaken by the time the black Shinra motors Hightime found them.
Reno leapt out and grabbed his lover smothering her in a bear hug. “I saw the pissed off birdy pass us and figured you guys had something to do with it!”
Tseng and Rude exited the car, Rude to the motorcycle to survey damage and Tseng to the SOLDIER.
The balding Turk took a calculator out of his blazer pocket and began to type in figures. He looked over at the dazed SOLDIER then at the man’s flambéed helmet and typed in even more numbers.
Tseng knelt beside his fellow Wutaian and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You going to make it?” he asked calmly in their shared language.
The SOLDIER gave a slight nod and winced as he heard Rude tapping away. “What the?! What is he doing? Go away! Get away!”
Leira took the chance to review the SOLDIER First Class’ face. Other then looking a tad displeased his features were still captivating to her. His eyes emitted that same icy blue glow but there was something different…something she could not put her finger on was it his snapping out of fear?
Timal felt her eyes on him and turned his head to shoot her a disgusted look then was up on his feet and in the unsuspecting Rude’s face. “The bike still works, you frigging vultures! Gods, Reno, I swear you and your ilk are worse then that overgrown parrot!”
Reno grimaced at his friend’s words and let go of Leira. “Harsh, Timmy, I’m sorry.”
“It’s not like we expect you to pay for these damages…right away.” Rude butted in and stuffed the calculator back into his jacket.
Tseng snapped his fingers in an attempt to silence Rude. “It’s okay. We’ll discuss this all later-save it for the reactor!”
The Turks turned and began to re-enter the car while Timal spat out insult after insult in the Wutaian tongue directed at Tseng who had decided to ignore the angered man.
“Lei, Timmy’s no fun when he’s like this; you wanna ride?” Reno caught his friend out of the corner of his eye saluting him with double middle fingers.
Leira stood there between the car and the motorcycle and watched the SOLDIER get on and rev. It was amazing that the thing still worked. “I don’t care.” The disgruntled man spat.
“I’m going to go with him, for now, Wren! We’ll meet you at the reactor.”
Reno blinked and studied the faces of his fellow Turks as he closed his door. “Sometimes I think she’s crazier then you are.” Tseng stated raising an eyebrow.
The motorcycle’s idle was uneven as Leira took her position behind the helmet-less Timal.
Off they went motorcycle in the lead.
“Thanks…” came the SOLDIER’s voice.
Leira choked back her surprise and smiled. “I didn’t do anything special.”
Mile after mile was covered and the summit of the mountain still seemed so far away. Leira wondered how long it had taken Sephiroth and his troop to make it up and down so quickly, could the hulking mobile transport unit be that much quicker then a motorcycle or a five hundred and ten horsepower luxury car. From time to time Reno’s Hightime would pull up alongside them to check on their well-being and help ward off any other Zu attacks.
Beneath her, Leira felt the wounded contraption slow and finally stop. “What’s wrong?” she asked as the sedan pulled up along the right side one last time. Reno put the window down and slapped the metal of the driver’s side door in anger. “What’s up, Timmy? Time’s a wastin’!”
The SOLDIER put one foot down and twisted to glare at his friend. He sternly pointed out over a vast chasm and then at two petrified wooden posts. “The bridge, my friends, is out. How you do think you’re going to make it, now?”
No one paid his words any mind. Choruses of “we’re stuck” and the obligatory “now what” passed along from man to man in the luxury vehicle.
Timal got off the bike and approached the car. He bent and placed his folded arms on the base of the window frame and listened to each person’s gripes before finally shaking his head. To mess with his redheaded friend he leaned in and licked the side of his face from chin to temple. Reno’s face contorted and he stuck his tongue out in disgust. “Ew, Timmy!”
“I thought I saw a turn off that might take us there…might be kind of indirect and put us out of our way but I think it’s doable.” Rude spoke up.
“Are we agreed, then?” Tseng asked.
“Uh, you gentlemen didn’t hear what I said,” the man turned his head to look at Tseng in the backseat then Rude and Reno up front and smiled, “I asked you how you planned to get to the top. Me and the chick are going straight on.”
“What?!” came the unanimous response of shock.
Timal banged the door panel with his closed fists and headed back to the motorcycle where Leira stood mystified.
“Wait, Timmy come back here-you don’t mean it!” Reno hollered.
Leira watched as the SOLDIER approached her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “What did you tell them? What did they want?”
The man in the blue body armor turned to her and smiled; flashed thumbs up. “‘S okay, we’re going to the reactor and they’ll catch up later.”
He got back on the battered bike leaving her no other real option then to follow him.
