Snow Day: Filming day

"Gen, are you sure about this?"
Oh for the love of god if Angeal asked him that one more time he was going to beat him to a bloody pulp!
A week had passed since he was released from the hospital, Hollander had done a checkup on him yesterday and deemed him in good enough health he could leave the couch. He was allowed to move around as long as he didn't train, or do anything that would tax his back, the bones were healed but they were just. They didn't want to take a chance of re-breaking them which knowing the dare devil Genesis was, there was a very high chance of doing just that. Thankfully there had also not been a second attempt at base jumping off the top of Shinra tower, for the most part Genesis had returned to normal; though he was still under careful monitoring by the other SOLDIER and Vincent.
"Yes 'Geal! For the last time!" he just wanted to hurry up and get down to where the SOLDIERs were meeting for the film crew. He was already dressed in his old 2nd class uniform he had dug out of Angeal's keep sake locker. The man insisted that they keep them for 'memories sake' though he was the only one, the rest of them just scoffed at it. This time though it did come in handy; none of them had to go down to the supply room and find a uniform they all fit, though they did have to go plunder a few of their fellow SOLDIERs room and high jack their helmets. Lazard wanted them 'under cover' to make sure the camera crew behaved themselves. They couldn't really go under cover with the SOLDIRE portion of it, all of them could sense when Sephiroth was around, no one knew why they just could. That would be the biggest give away, but it was just to watch the crew.
"Alright Genesis, let's go Seph and the others should already be down there waiting for us." No sooner had the words left his mouth then Genesis let out a 'WHOOP' and was out the door faster than a black chocobo.
Shaking his head Angeal followed him out hoping in his need to get out of the apartment that he remembered to take the elevator and not the stairs. He didn't need to have Hollander yelling at him because Genesis fucked his back up again.
It took them a little extra time to reach the Astroturf training grounds for SOLDIER then it normally would have, Genesis had needed a small break about half way there as his back spasumed painfully. Thankfully the muscle relaxers he was taking helped that out after a few minutes and they were once more heading for the training field.
The field was normally deserted this early in the day as most SOLDIER were out on missions but today it was streaming with life. Several civilians were running around setting up cameras and audio equipment, seats were set up obviously for the director and the actors around some monitors so they could watch the performance as it happened.
The SOLDIER were all assembled at the back of the field away from everyone; there was about 50 SOLDIER standing all separated into their normal little cliques but still close enough to each other they could talk to those outside their social circle.
Glancing around Angeal easily spotted their own group though had to blink as three helmeted figures he knew for a fact weren't SOLDIER were standing with them. Genesis saw this too and chuckled moving up behind one of them dressed as a 3rd class and pulled on the long bright red rat tail hanging from under the helmet.
"Ow yo!" Reno spun around and grinned brightly. "About time yo! Thought you two were never going to show up."
Coming to stand between Reno and what was obviously a helmeted Rude in a 3rd class uniform he looked over Reno; he looked SO wrong in that uniform. "I thought this was SOLDIER, not Turks playing dress up." He heard soft chuckling and looked over to where Sephiroth was standing in the dark blue 3rd class uniform, his hair effectively pulled up and hidden completely under his helmet, the visor hiding his eyes. His arms were currently wrapped around a second figure about an inch taller in a similar purple 2nd class uniform, helmet covering their face but were clutching a coffee cup in his hand.
"Long night huh Tseng?" Genesis asked smirking under his own hood; he saw the smile on the Directors face grow but stayed where he was against his little brother. "You could say that."
"So what is with the Turks playing SOLDIER anyway?" Zack asked he was strutting around in a 3rd class uniform, Lazard had set out which uniforms they were to wear, Sephiroth was being punished for nailing him in the back with a paintball during their little 'operation cheer Tseng up' and for skipping out on his paperwork nearly all week.
"From what I understand this director is not only exceedingly arrogant but also extremely anal, he wanted fifty SOLDIER for this part of the film, well Lazard was only able to allow forty six off duty for today. He passed me in the hall this morning and asked if I could spare any Turks."
He smirked more taking a sip of his coffee, looks like he had stopped by one of the little coffee shops instead of making his own. "How could I say no to play pretend SOLDIER?"
The group all laughed lightly, the air around the field so far was comfortable none of the SOLDIER's were really uptight which was nice. Though if Tseng was right and this director was really as egotistical as they thought this calm light air was going to vanish quickly. Hearing something the group all looked over, a meek looking man was desperately trying to get the attention of the SOLDIER group but was being completely ignored.
Sighing Sephiroth unwrapped his arms from out his big brother and moved up to stand next to the meek little man. "If you want their attention you need to be loud." He said before turning back to the SOLDIERs in front of him.
"SOLDIER ATTEN-TION!" being the general had its perks; even if he was only in a 3rd class uniform everyone recognized his voice.
Instantly the chatter all stopped and every SOLDIER snapped to attention. "Fall In!" as efficient as always the SOLDIER quickly moved to their proper formation lines, 2nd Class to the front and 3rd to the back. He could see a spot at the very end of the first row of 3rd left open for him next to Zack, Cloud, Reno and Rude were on his other side. Angeal, Genesis and Tseng were standing directly in front of them as the beginning of the 2nd class ranks.
"Parade.. Rest!" instantly as one the ranks snapped into the slightly spread foot stance of parade rest, their hands crossed and lying across their lower backs. He was glad to see that even the Turks moved fluidly, though he had to remind himself that most Turks were once SOLDIER cadets, these moves were hard wired into all cadets.
"There you are," turning he moved back towards his spot and fell into parade rest himself, it had been many many years since he had to fall into this position but like all others it came naturally to him.
The meek looking man stared at the group amazed how fast they had become silent when the SOLDIER had ordered it. Blinking he looked back to where the man was, he may not have known much about SOLDIER but he could have sworn they had been told blue uniforms were low man on the totem pole. How did a 3rd class manage to order so many SOLDIER and they obeyed without question? Shrugging it off slightly he looked down at his clipboard.
"Good afternoon SOLDIER…"
"Good afternoon, Sir!" the meek man jumped nearly clear out of his socks not expecting the group as one to shout that out. Adjusting his glasses he quickly pulled himself together.
"We wish to thank you prior for your hard work and taking time from your duties to help with this movie, today is one of the few days we have you for a long period of time and would like to get through this as fast as possible with as little retakes as we can." He adjusted his glasses once more flipping the pages of his clip board.
"As you can see there is an empty spot in the ranks of 2nd class, which will be filled by the actor playing Zackary Fair."
"WHAT! OW!"
Blinking the man looked up his eyes sweeping over the perfectly still ranks of SOLDIER, shrugging he went back to his clip board.
Seeing his eyes no longer on them Zack bent over rubbing his side where Sephiroth's elbow had connected. "God damn your elbow is bony, did you have to hit so damn hard?" He growled quietly and glared at Cloud under his helmet seeing the blond was biting his lip hard trying not to laugh, even Tseng was biting his lip. A few of the others had ducked down laughing slightly at the poor 1st class puppy being abused by their general.
"I do not know what you are talking about, my arm slipped." Those around them all started to snicker hard. Zack shot a nasty glare at Sephiroth but returned to his parade rest position. "I will get you back old man.."
Sephiroth chuckled lightly returning his eyes to the front where the man had once more started talking.
"He shall be out when we are ready to start filming; now the director would like a few real battle scenes including a materia battle. We need to know who are some of the best swordsman and materia users in the group.
"Sir! Our best are currently not here as they are our First class officers!" Sephiroth recognized the voice as First Sergeant Travis; he was the unofficial leader of the 2nd class.
The man nodded seeming to already have figured that out, "Than we will take the best of the group, sir do you know who they are."
Travis turned slightly and looked back to Sephiroth knowing the general was back there. Sephiroth merely inclined his head slightly already knowing what his First Sergeant was asking. "Of course Sir, inform me when you are ready for them I shall have them prepared."
"Of course, what is your name SOLDIER."
"SOLDIER 2nd class, First Sergeant Travis Donavin." The man nodded and jotted it down. "Thank you, alright the director shall be out momentarily to go over what you will be doing, so uh.. take a break.." he turned and moved away quickly to fill the director in with what he had.
Sighing Sephiroth moved away slightly. "Rest everyone, you will come back to formation when I call." The group all seemed to slump and migrate back their little groups once more.
"Lose a bet sir?" looking over Sephiroth smiled recognizing Kunsel instantly; several other 2nd and 3rd class had followed him over. This didn't bug him at all since he tried to have a semi relationship with all his men to keep the feeling of family strong.
"Lazard's form of payback for shooting him in the ass with a paintball a few weeks ago.. and playing hooky in the cadet class." The group surrounding him laughed; remembering the young cadet he had taken a shine to Sephiroth looked over to his big brother. "Speaking of which, how is Nicholas doing?" Tseng moved back to his previous spot leaning up against his little brother nursing his coffee. Just like Cloud he tended to get a little clingy when he wasn't feeling good and he could feel a nasty cold coming on. He blamed that last mission to Icicle Inn. "He's doing really well, you were right he was perfect Turk material. He's been partnered with Nunchaku and the two have hit it off really well."
Sneezing Tseng groaned and leaned in more against the warm body behind him. "uh oh, starting to get a cold Director?" one of the 3rd's asked, over the past few years they had gotten used to the Turks hanging out during their breaks in the SOLDIER break room. During Veld's time the SOLDIER and Turks had been at odds with each other, but once Tseng took over after Veld's 'death' the groups became close.
"I blame Icicle Inn.." he sneezes again and slumped down in Sephiroth's arms, "just shoot me now please."
Chuckling Angeal set a hand on the man's shoulder. "When we're done come back to the apartment I'll make you some tea my mother used to make when Genesis got sick."
"Worked like a charm, and wasn't that bad either." Genesis leaned up against Angeal his back spasming again; he really wished the damn thing would stop doing this!
"And you can crash for as long as you want with no Reno to bug you."
"Hey yo!" the group all laughed as Reno started to pout, even Rude was chuckling softly next to his long time partner. Hearing an increase in voices they looked over seeing people were starting to pile around the cameras, a figure in a purple 2nd uniform with dark black hair styled in a very familiar fashion moved up to them almost nervously.
So this must have been 'Zackary Fair', he was small and young, probably no older than fifteen if Sephiroth choose to guess. His black hair had been styled in a similar fashion to Zack's though was slightly shorter than the 1st's currently and he wore contacts giving him brighter blue eyes though they were more blue than Zack's blue violet.
Zack naturally being who he was bounced over instantly and extended a hand, "You must be the actor playing our great 1st class." the group collectively rolled their eyes under their helmets; Zack could be as dramatic as Genesis at times.
The boy nodded smiling softly, he actually kind reminded them all of Cloud when they first met him. He had that shy innocence to him that was almost endearing. The boy took the hand shaking it, Zack made sure to control his strength so he wouldn't hurt the unenhanced boy.
"Hi, yeah.. this is my first movie actually. I wanted to ask you all if you could tell me a little bit about the real Zackary Fair.. I don't want to be like the others that assume they know how the real thing acts. I want to be as close to the real thing as I can; I wouldn't want to dishonor him by portraying him wrong."
SOLDIER's moved up to the young boy all smiling; it was a good thing that at least one of the actors was trying to put in effort to be as close to the real thing as possible, considering the real thing was currently slinging his arm around the young boy.
"Well, to give you an idea Zack's nickname is puppy, and there is a very good reason for that."
"HEY!" Angeal moved over and clapped a hand over Zack's mouth pulling him back against him. The SOLDIERs around them started to laugh knowing the Lieutenant was glaring at his mentor under his helmet.
"Zack is very hyper, very bouncy and full of energy. If he isn't moving enough he will actually start to do squats to help burn off the energy." Kunsel said smirking to his best friend, knowing he was now getting that glare.
"He's a prankster, and also tends to be kind of a smartass.. with the attention span of well.. a puppy." Sephiroth wanted to stick his tongue out at Zack but refrained for doing so at this very moment. "But, he is also extremely loyal; a strong warrior that if you earn his trust he will defend you to the death. He is impossible to hate and he makes friends with anyone and everyone, no matter if you are SOLDIER, cadet, Turk, secretary or civilian; he will welcome you in with open arms."
Pulling Angeal's hand away Zack started with an open mouth at Sephiroth, he wanted to go over and hug the man for saying such wonderful words about him.
"Zack also has a few quarks, when he's thinking or embarrassed he will scratch the back of his head." Cloud demonstrated scratching the back of his helmet and shifting slightly, "He's also very expressive not overly dramatic but enough."
"here.." Kunsel pulled his PHS from his pocket and flipped to a video he had of Zack when they were both 2nd class wandering around the SOLDIER waiting area.
The young boy watched the video cracking up as Zack did something stupid but was studying his mannerisms and the way he interacted with people. They were right, he was a very emotional person and very energetic and friendly.
Closing the PHS he smiled handing it back to Kunsel. "I would like to meet Zackary Fair at some point, see him in person."
He watched as large grins spread across everyone's faces and a few started to chuckle behind their hands. "I think that can be arranged." Angeal said pushing Zack forward, stumbling against the force Zack turned back and stuck his tongue out at his mentor and dear friend. "Thanks a lot!"
"Uh oh, I think the director is coming over." One of the 3rd class said seeing an older man walking over, his whole body was just screaming arrogance and it started to set everyone on edge.
"Can I have everyone's attention please, we are on a very tight schedule and I would prefer not to waste time." He moved to regard the group in front of him, he couldn't see any of their eyes but the whole group was watching warily.
"The actors portraying your commanders will come out and the actor portraying Commander Angeal Hewley.." he stopped seeing a 3rd class elbow a fellow 3rd class who had started to snicker hard behind his hands. Frowning he continued to walk in front of the group looking over them, they were all dressed the same all looking as immaculate as possible in those dreaded SOLDIER uniforms. "Will call you to attention and the actor portraying your General Sephiroth will move out and give a speech. Your motivation is this is the pre curser to the great battle of Wutai; you are all going to depart in a few days and are preparing yourselves for this battle. This is the battle where Sephiroth earns his title the demon of Wutai."
He stopped as a good portion of the 2nd class and a few of the 3rd class started to snicker hard behind their hands. One of the second classes was leaning heavily on another bigger 2nd class positively howling with laughter.
"My monster! Where is my monster!" the 2nd class called out between hysterical laughter. This sent off the entire SOLDIER company off into fits of laughter, it was well known among them Sephiroth's addiction and the fact his big brother encouraged it.
Sephiroth in turn was flushing a very brilliant shade of red under his helmet and trying to hide his lower face in the collar of his uniform.
Sneering the director turned back to them, not understanding why they were all laughing. That had been one of the most glorious battles in Wutai for Shinra and her legendary Silver General.
"We will begin filming in one minute, all of you when you are call to attention will salute when the General approaches and say the appropriate greeting you all would say to him. Once he is finished with his speech he will ask if you understand and you will respond in kind. After that I will give you further instructions. Into your general formations."
Kunsel actually stuck his tongue out at the director as he turned and walked away, "Tell me again why we are doing this?"
"Cause the presidents a moronic bag of fat that loves gold." Genesis sneered flipping the director off as he left. "Wait, wasn't I only a cadet during this battle?" Zack whispered so that his counterpart didn't hear.
Angeal frowned crossing his large arms over his chest, "I believe you had either just become 3rd class or you were only a month or so away from the graduation to SOLDIER from the cadet school." Making a noise Zack started to wander over to his spot once more, "This is boring yo!" Reno complained moving back to his spot on the other side of Cloud.
"Would you like to return to your desk and finish that report?" Tseng threw over his shoulder still drinking his coffee, it was slightly cold now but it was helping to keep his throat wet. "Oh hell no yo!" Reno threw his hands up waiving them around in front of him.
"That's what I thought," Tseng smirked leaning up slightly against Genesis being mindful not to put too much pressure on him. "You really aren't feeling good are you?" Genesis wrapped his arm around him holding him close. "Is it sad this is the first time I have gotten sick in five years?"
"Don't worry Tseng, we'll make sure your well taken care of.. We might even call over Mrs. Strife to take care of you."
"Quiet on the set!" instantly every SOLDIER flinched brining their hands up to their ears. Those with more sensitive hearing were blinking back tears as pain raced through their heads.
"Hey you fucking moron turn off the damn megaphone! We're enhanced enough that you can whisper and the back will hear ya!" Genesis shouted over the ringing in his ears.
Hearing this the director glared at the 2nd class that he recognized had been the one laughing the hardest out of everyone when he mentioned the battle, oh yes he did not like this SOLDIER he was already becoming a problem.
"SOLDIER, what is your name?" the Director called out standing up from his seat. "None of your damn business, now we doing this or not? Unlike you lot we actually have to work for our paychecks." Genesis called out, oh he was not happy right now, his happy medicine was wearing off leaving him stiff and sore. Careful of his back Tseng gently rubbed area's he knew weren't covered in ugly bruises still, "Calm yourself Genesis.. He will be dealt with don't worry."
Glowering Genesis nodded trying hard not to stick his bottom lip out in a pout. He watched as the director still glaring at him sat back down and called out once more for silence, thankfully without the damn megaphone and called for action.
A camera on a track a little way's away started to move and instantly Tseng and Angeal slapped a hand over Genesis mouth before he could break out laughing again. The one thing about Genesis was he always busted up laughing at people that tried to be him, especially if they were horribly done.
Well.. this Genesis was pretty damn horrible.
While the man walking towards them was handsome, his face was too square to be Genesis, his hair too dark and too long. He was missing Genesis earring and his uniform didn't quite fit him right and there were a lot of things wrong with it. The biggest was the way the man moved he was stiff and rigid; Genesis when he walked moved with almost a feline grace, his walk was that of an elegant dancer, fluid and graceful.
The man portraying Genesis was holding a file folder in his hand and talking quietly to their Angeal. Now this one was a little closer but it was still obvious it wasn't Angeal, the man was too short and was not nearly big enough in the chest and arms.
Neither one of them carried their signature weapons though they were both in imitations of their uniforms.
"I can't wait to see what you look like yo." Reno whispered leaning out around a snickering Cloud. Sephiroth groaned softly almost fearing who they had gotten to play him; he always had a great laugh when at the theater. Normally whoever they got to portray him was overly stiff and looked like they either had a stick up their ass or was constipated.
Nodding the actor Angeal moved up to stand in front of the group, he noticed that though he couldn't see their eyes he could feel them watching him, was actually kind of freaky.
"SOLDIER, ATTEN-TION." Not wanting to piss off the director of look bad in front of the real commanders and General the group instantly snapped to attention. "Afternoon Commander Hewley SIR!" they all shouted though Tseng still had a hand on Genesis mouth. Thankfully the camera hadn't panned over them yet; he would drop it when he saw the craned camera swinging their way.
"As you know, we have been assigned to the 2nd Battalion heading for Wutai under the direct command of General Sephiroth. Your General wishes to address his SOLDIERs before we begin the preparation for our mission."
"SIR!"
Nodding 'Angeal' turned back, he was amazed at how responsive the SOLDIER were and how well they were behaving so far.
'Sephiroth' moved out from his spot off camera. Instantly as the camera panned away Tseng and Angeal shot a hand over Genesis mouth and Zack did the same for Sephiroth as Cloud did with Reno. They noticed several of the other SOLDIER were all bighting their lower lips or the inside of their cheeks trying so hard not to laugh.
Oh this was too perfect; their 'Sephiroth' was almost feminine in appearance, at least in the face. The man they easily recognized as one of the leading Costa del Sol fashion models; while the man normally was beautiful he looked SOO wrong with his tan skin and the long silver wig and black uniform. "Please tell me I don't look that retarded in my uniform" everyone around them bit their lip or cheek trying not to laugh. The model portraying Sephiroth was not built for that uniform and it was way too tight to actually function properly.
The whole group of SOLDIER was trying desperately not to laugh as the man sauntered up to them, you could tell instantly he was model from the walk. He had that long runway strut going on as he moved up to the front of the group.
"SOLDIER." 'Sephiroth' greeted, the actor looked around noticing the group was all making some form of funny face as they were watching them. Most of them looked like they were trying desperately not to laugh, if the biting of lower lips was anything to go by. A few towards the back were actually shaking slightly with suppressed laughter. He noticed towards the back between the two ranks two SOLDIER had their hands over the mouth of another SOLDIER between them.
He didn't really have time to contemplate what exactly there were all laughing at when every face went serious and as one the group snapped a sharp salute. "SIR!"
'Sephiroth' began to pace in front of them his contact green eyes sweeping over the group of SOLDIER. "At ease SOLDIER." The group fell into the standard at ease, many lowering their arms and swinging slightly. 'Sephiroth' blinked at this having expected them to go to what they had before but shook it off, they should know what order meant what.
Taking a deep breath and schooling his features he started up the huge speech he had to memorize at the last minute, he honestly felt stupid giving it but it was what the writers said Sephiroth did.
"Are they serious?" a 2nd class whispered a few down from the 1st class his mouth dropping open slightly. Was 'Sephiroth' seriously giving a huge motivational speech about the Wutai war.. he was!
A 3rd class standing directly behind Sephiroth leaned forward setting a hand on his shoulder blade. "Sir, thank you.. for never giving these type speeches." Snorting Sephiroth turned back slightly to regard the young 3rd class behind him. "If I ever start giving speeches like this.. shoot me."
Oh this was painful to listen to, it really was.
No longer caring that he was on camera Tseng leaned down and picked his coffee up once more nursing it. "Would you prefer my .45 or my 500?"
"You have a 500?" Genesis asked softly turning to look at the Turk next to him, "wholly shit is he still going?" sure enough 'Sephiroth' was still prattling on. Setting his coffee down Tseng reached into his pants and pulled out a massive stainless steel revolver.
"Wholly shit where the hell did you hide that?" chuckling softly Tseng dumped the rounds into his hand and snapped the cylinder back into place before handing the revolver out to Genesis handle first. Dumping the rounds into his pocket once Genesis took his baby Tseng pulled his left pant leg taunt revealing the shape of a large holster against his thigh.
Zack whistled low leaning forward slightly so he could look at the revolver, "how many times have you cracked your head open with the recoil on that?" Genesis looked back to Zack before looking at the revolver once more. Yes they were completely ignoring what the hell was going on with the movie crew even when the group around them all snapped to attention and shouting they agreed and the director yelled cut.
"Once," Tseng chuckled softly taking the revolver back from Genesis and putting the rounds back. "When Veld was first teaching me to handle larger caliber rounds, didn't warn me or anything. I was probably 17.. Sephiroth you should remember this." Sephiroth in turn smirked darkly and started to chuckle as the SOLDIERs broke apart once more since it would be a minute till they were given their next instructions, the actor that was portraying Zack migrated back over and was standing next to Cloud watching curiously.
"Oh I remember quiet well, I snuck into your apartment that night again cause you didn't come and get me like normal and you were laid out on the couch huge ass bruise on your forehead and eight stitches."
"Still have the scar," Tseng pointed to a section of his forehead where you could make out the very faint line of a scar. "So I'm standing there getting ready to fire this thing for the first time, Veld is behind me cackling his head off I have no idea why.. and I fire the damn thing..I wasn't expecting that kind of recoil so it jumps in my hand and comes back nailing me right in the forehead laid my happy ass out for the count."
The group all burst out laughing, Sephiroth the hardest as he remembered seeing the aftermath of that fateful day. Grumbling playfully Tseng stored the revolver back into its holster and flared out his pants a little more too once more completely conceal it.
"How many guns do you have on you?" Zack asked throwing his arms behind his head. "4, today." The group all blinked and looked at the director, it was impossible to tell the man had four guns on him at the moment. Chuckling Tseng patted his left thigh. "My S&W 500 .50 cal, this one I generally do not carry on my person unless my mission dictates a close in snipe. I have two 1911 .45 cal, one is a Remington which is my normal side arm, the other is a colt which is my lucky charm."
"He doesn't go anywhere without it." Reno said snickering; he had stolen it once from Tseng's gun cabinet and watched the man tear apart the entire Turks office looking for it. Let just say that when Tseng found out Reno took it Reno was not able to walk for a good long while afterwards.
"Is that the one I got custom made for you as your 21st birthday present?" Sephiroth asked, he wrapped his arms around Genesis allowing the man to rest on him as he could see his back was bothering him.
"Wait how did you get him a custom? Midgar you can't even buy a handgun let alone custom order one until your twenty one.. You're not twenty one for another month and a half, you would have been eleven back then." Angeal was curious now, he knew Sephiroth had a lot of pull but didn't think he had that much pull back then.
"He gave the order to me and the money; I ordered the pistol for him." Rude's deep voice shocked them all, it was honestly easy to forget the man could talk he did so little of it. Coughing Tseng groaned and wandered over to where Cloud was and draped himself over his back throwing his arms across his shoulders laying his head over his right shoulder. "kill me now.." oh he was feeling miserable now.
Chuckling softly Cloud reached up and wrapped his hands around Tseng's hands holding them gently. "We'll get you something to battle the cold, you'll be well enough to kill again in no time."
The young boy portraying Zack looked at Tseng curiously his head tilted to the side slightly. "I was told SOLDIER didn't carry guns."
"hmm.. oh!" Zack grinned brightly moving over to the boy and slinging his arm around his shoulder again. "We don't, what you see there is what we call a wannabe SOLDIER."
"Fuck you too.." Tseng flipped him off not even looking up from where he had his head buried in Cloud's neck.
"He's actually a Turk, not just any Turk but the Director." The young boys eyes went wide, "You're the real director Tseng?" everyone kind of flinched as the boy pronounced it exactly like it was spelled not the normal 'song'
"It's Tseng actually…" Tseng lifted his head so he could look at the boy but you couldn't see his eyes thanks to the helmet. "why?"
The boy seemed to be vibrating, "You have a big part in this movie, is it true you and the General are lovers?" almost instantly the whole group went deadly silent each person standing around the young boy just staring at him.
"Uh.. that's what the director says. He said all his sources stated that the director of the Turks and the Silver general were lovers.. the big sex scene in this movie is between them."
Zack was the first to crack, releasing the boy he doubled over tears of mirth rolling down his cheeks, his hands covering his mouth trying desperately to keep the laughter in.
Genesis looked up to his lover and burst out laughing seeing the look of absolute horror crossing his face. "oh god!" he collapsed to the ground laughing so hard, Angeal was beside him laughing equally as hard.
"What the fuck yo! Director why didn't you tell us you were shagging General hotness?"
Moving away from Cloud Tseng put his fingers to his head like one of his guns and mock pulled the trigger crumpling to the floor in a heap.
The combination of that and Sephiroth's face (what little could be seen anyway) set off every SOLDIER that had heard the young actors words.
"Goddess I can't breathe!" Genesis was just dying where he lay on the grass. Pushing himself up he crawled over to where Tseng was laying and draped himself over his chest pulling the Turks helmet off so he could see his face. Seeing how bright red Tseng was caused Genesis to go into another fit of laughter, he quickly buried his face in Tseng's shirt laughing like hell. "Why didn't you tell us Tseng, we could have shared!" growling Tseng bopped Genesis on the head.
The young actor flushed slightly seeing the director actually revealed, it would seem their director had completely missed the mark on what Tseng looked like. The actor portraying the director was brown hair and hazel eyed, he was handsome but nowhere near what the real Tseng looked like.
Letting his head fall back to the fake grass Tseng started to beat his head into the plate hoping and praying to knock his happy ass unconscious. "No.. Sephiroth and myself are not in a sexual relationship..i honestly could never do that." He said exasperated and looked to the young actor, "we're around each other all the time because he's basically a little brother to me."
"That's good to know.." Sephiroth groaned looking down at the watch on his wrist. "ohh yes.." moving away from the group he came to stand in the center of the mob of SOLDIER. The young actor flushed looking between the director and the SOLDIER that just walked off. The director of his film was in for a huge beat down if the glare on the Wutai mans face was anything to go by.
"SOLDIER!" instantly the entire group fell silent their attention turning towards Sephiroth. "Lunch time boys!" everyone hooted and took off for the SOLDIER mess hall across the grounds.
"What, where the hell is everyone going? I did not give the order to leave!" the director stood watching as his entire SOLDIER group started to take off towards the other side of the field.
"It's lunch time." One of the SOLDIERs called out rushing towards the chow hall, no one was paying any attention to the furious director; he would learn soon enough you didn't mess with SOLDIER.
Overcoming his laughter Zack threw his arm back around his counterparts' shoulders and started to steer him towards the chow hall. "How about you come eat with us hmm?" the young boy sent a nervous look to the furious director and back at the group walking along side him. "Sure, will be nice not to be in his line of fire for a while, my name is Alex.." Smiling brightly Zack moved so he was walking backwards and took the boys hand. "Pleasure to meet you Alex.." smirking Zack reached up and pulled off his helmet watching with satisfaction as the boys eyes went absolutely huge and jaw slack. "I'm Zack Fair.."
Alex tried desperately to get his jaw to start working once more; he could not believe the man that had welcomed him and had been so friendly with him was the real Zack Fair! Swallowing hard he smiled brightly, honestly he wasn't able to help it the smile the real Zack was giving off was infectious.
"They weren't lying about you then." Zack flushed slightly and scratched the back of his head embarrassed. "See.. nervous tic.." Cloud said leaning in close to Alex as they walked, "Watch him while we're in the mess hall, you'll pick up on a lot of things." Alex looked over to the small SOLDIER next to him and nodded smiling.
"I'm Cloud by the way." Cloud held out his hand seeing the shocked look coming over the boys face again. "Cloud Strife? The newest 1st class?" Alex took the hand offered and was surprised with how gentle it was.
"Or Chocobo head.. Either one works." Zack threw in knowing in about two seconds he was a dead puppy. Pulling his hand away Cloud pulled his helmet off and held it out to Alex. "Will you hold this for me?" wondering what was going on Alex nodded slightly taking the official SOLDIER helmet, his eyes wandering over the young blond next to him.
A very dark smile spread across Cloud's face as his bracer began to glow; dark blue eyes leveling on Zack. Swallowing loudly Zack started to back up and quickly, oh yeah he was dead.
"Run Fair RUN!" one of the SOLDIER called out the group around laughing loudly. "Don't gotta tell me twice!" turning Zack bolted into the mess hall, Cloud only steps behind him.
"That boy I swear to Gaia.." Angeal shook his head; Reno was snickering beside him and pulled his helmet off running a hand through his spikes. "I can't see how you lot can stand wearing helmets yo. You can't see out of them it's a miracle you guys can hit anything."
"Dumb luck." The remaining group snorted at the dark skinned Turks attempt at humor. Entering the hallway outside the chow hall Sephiroth and Genesis broke off; if they ate in the mess hall Sephiroth and Genesis always broke off to go empty the nearest vending machine that carried energy drinks.
Noticing this Alex watched the two walk off, "Where are they going?" he didn't know who the big SOLDIER was beside him but he seemed nice enough when he was talking to him before they started filming.
"Oh, those two are off the raid one of the vending machines they will be back shortly. Come, hopefully Cloud hasn't killed my puppy yet." Blinking Alex looked up at the big SOLDIER, "Your puppy? You're Commander Hewley."
"Bright kid, he's picking up fast yo." Reno swept past them heading into the surprisingly quiet chow hall; you could hear the quiet murmurs of conversations but it wasn't like most chow halls Alex had been in. SOLDIER because of their enhanced hearing didn't need to be overly loud to be heard over one another and so their mess hall was one of the quietists in the compound.
"Don't mind Reno, he's a Turk so that kind of explains his attitude, but you are correct I am commander Hewley. It's a pleasure to meet you; the puppy seems to have taken a liking to you." Alex flushed slightly looking up as Angeal pulled his own helmet off. It was amazing so far how wrong the director was, not only on personality but looks.
"Thank you, I had no idea I would receive such a warm welcome.. Especially from the real commanders." Angeal smiled softly that natural parental instinct in him kicking in with the young boy.
The two moved to a back table where Cloud, Zack, Tseng, Rude and Reno were already sitting. Cloud was currently glaring darkly at Zack who was giving him massive puppy eyes; Tseng had his head on the table eyes closed but was laughing softly and turned his head opening his eyes to watch the two SOLDIER.
"We'll go get our food when the other two come back, it's kind of tradition for us." Angeal said as they sat down at the table. Hearing the mess hall door open the group looked up seeing the furious director standing there with the actors portraying them. Alex unconsciously shrunk down though their table was in a far enough back corner it would be hard to see them.
The already quiet hall fell silent, several pairs of glowing eyes turned to regard the director. The actors shifted nervously behind the director seeing all those eyes; it had been easy to look at them when the helmets were covering their faces but seeing the real SOLDIER here and seeing those legendary mako eyes all focused on them, it was a little unnerving.
"What are you all doing in here; I did not call for lunch! You still have a good two hours until lunch is scheduled." Angeal made to stand to deal with the director but stopped seeing a slightly hunched figure moving up towards the director from behind. "Oh no…"
Moving to stand in front of the director; Genesis tried to pull himself upright, though was difficult with how badly his back was hurting at the moment. Helmet still on he glared a small sneer playing on his visible lips.
"Let me tell you something director SOLDIER responds to three men; Director Lazard, Director Tseng of the Turks, and General Sephiroth. We do not take orders from civilians with an ego bigger than Shinra." Genesis spat out the word director like it was poison; he was a mean son of a bitch when he was in pain. He continued before the director could dare open his mouth, "But to answer your question, SOLDIER are on strict meal regiments. Because of the enhancements our body's metabolism is much higher than most professional athletes; even sitting still as we have been doing today we burn ten times more than the average person on the move. We require almost constant food intake and keeping to a scheduled meal regiment helps to keep our bodies at peak performance."
The director sneered instantly recognizing this as the troublesome SOLDIER, "I should have known you would be a trouble maker still."
Genesis merely smirked his body taking on the air of arrogance he always carried. "There is no hate, only Joy, for you are beloved by the goddess. Hero of the dawn healer of worlds." Genesis raised his hand in his normal over dramatic fashion, the mess hall started to crack up.
"That's a pretty poor impression of Commander Rhapsodos." The actor portraying Genesis said sitting down at a nearby table. Almost instantly the whole mess hall erupted into pearls of laughter, even the back table with the real commanders was dying where they sat.
Alex looked confused and turned to Zack, "What's so funny?" wiping the tears from his cheeks Zack leaned over pointing to the horrified figure of Genesis. "That's the real Genesis.." Alex's eyes widened in horror hearing that the actor had just insulted the real thing!
Pulling himself from his shock Genesis sneered at the man pretending to be him. So they wanted to play this game huh, well he would play. Pulling himself up to his full height despite the pain he smirked arrogantly and flipped his head slightly. "If you wish to speak about poor impression of Commander Rhapsodos, how about we run down you hmm?" Genesis stalked over looking very much like a cat about to attack a mouse, but not before batting it around a bit.
"Your face it wrong, your eyes are too dark, your hair is not cut right and is several shades too dark. Your missing his earring which Genesis is well known for always wearing; your coat is wrong and the leather shoulder guards are actually attached not loose like yours are. Your wearing the weapon harness wrong, Genesis wears his identical to Sephiroth's since he almost never carries his sword on his back and it's strictly decoration. The pants are wrong and the shoes are a good inch to low in the heel; oh let us also not forget the biggest, you walk like you have Masamune hilt shoved up your ass!"
Stepping back Genesis smirked hearing the laughter and clapping behind him. Turning slightly Genesis bowed to his adoring public before turning back seeing the wide eyes of the actors and the dark glare on the director's face. "That is just Genesis looks; he hasn't talked enough to know if he can act like the Commander. Don't even get me started on Angeal and especially not Sephiroth.." Hearing chuckling next to him Genesis looked over seeing Sephiroth standing next to him candy bar sticking from between his lips and his arms laden down with Monster energy drinks. "Pawned" he mumbled through the candy bar, he was still wearing the helmet hiding who he was but was looking for Angeal and the others.
"Back corner Koneko, our normal spot." Genesis said hunching over slightly as his back spasmed once more. "Come on Kasai, before you get in even more trouble for running your mouth." Sephiroth headed over for the back table. Shaking his head Genesis looked back to the fuming director, "I'm almost afraid to ask how bad you are butchering the Turks." Turning away before the director could respond he headed back over towards the table.
"Genesis, you have a big mouth you know that right." Angeal said shaking his head, looking over Genesis shoulder he saw the director storming from the mess hall leaving the actors there to get their food since there was no way he was going to force fifty SOLDIER back out onto the field.
Reaching up Genesis pulled the helmet off running his fingers through his hair, "your point?"
"No point merely an observations..Sephiroth slow down you don't need to drain all of those all at once." Angeal chided his dear friend watching him chugging his energy drinks. "You're gonna give yourself a sugar rush again.."
Alex stared with wide eyes at the last figure still standing by their table, he still wore his helmet but slowly lowered his hand crushing the can easily with one hand. "Hush.." he said popping open a fifth one and pulled his helmet off allowing his long silver hair to pool down his back once more. It was up in a high pony tail that was braided, made it easier to hide under the helmet; his long bangs were clipped to the side of his head knowing they would hang down under the helmet.
Oh yeah the director was WAY off on Sephiroth, attitude.. the whole nine yards it would seem. He honestly felt sorry for the actors that claimed to know how these men acted just from the few videos out there of them. They were SOOO off. Realization hit him and he stared with horror up at Sephiroth, he had shouted out him being in a relationship with Tseng and they were both standing there!
Seeing this reaction Sephiroth rolled his eyes throwing his head back and downing the next can. Finishing it he crushed it and threw it into the bin across the room, "don't give me that look kid, not your fault the director is a complete and utter moron."
Tseng growled slightly before coughing, "you do realize if he puts in this sex scene between us I am not going.. I don't care if it's tradition or not."
"Oh what I think it will be hot." Genesis ducked back behind Sephiroth as he got the Turk death glare, looking up he gulped getting the same glare from Sephiroth. "What it would be? Oh come on Seph you know your big brother is damn hot."
"Genesis.." Sephiroth growled in warning, those acid green eyes narrowing dangerously as he regarded his lover. Laughing Genesis moved back around and slowly sunk down so he was sitting next to Cloud. "Goddess my back hurts.."
"That's because you were an idiot and got in a wreck and broke your back.." Zack said rolling his eyes like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Shut up Fair, I don't need your lip…"
"What are you gonna do cripple? I can get up and walk away." Standing up Zack started to walk towards the line very slowly. Angeal put his hands over his face slowly counting down to the ultimate death of his poor stupid puppy. Cloud instinctively ducked under the table and moved as close to the wall as her possibly could; he was joined seconds later by Reno. Smirking Reno pulled his PHS out and flipped it open, "I give twenty seconds before Zack is an ash stain on the wall."
"I give it less than that, Genesis cast really fast."
Growling darkly Genesis pushed himself up onto his feet his back cracking angrily at the movement. "Commander.. you destroy the room it's coming out of your paycheck. Sit down and get Zack back when you're feeling better.." glaring down at the Turk beside him Genesis motioned towards Zack that he was dead and sat back down.
"Oh come on bossman! This was going up on Zack's fan club OW!" Raising a single silver brow Sephiroth looked down under the table still drinking his liquid crack. Reno was rubbing his shin where Tseng's foot had connected, "He kicks hard Reno..should watch that."
"Yeah thanks.." Reno shot back his voice dripping with sarcasm, "shut up chocobo."
Alex could only watch in morbid fascination as a full out wrestling match broke out between Reno and Cloud under the table. Sighing Tseng pulled his legs out from under the table so they didn't get smashed into by the wrestling duo.
"As much as food sounds disgusting right now, I'm getting in line." He pushed himself up and headed over to where Angeal was standing next to Zack giving him a lecture about only Gaia knew what.
Shaking his head Alex stood up and moved to stand next to the Director of the Turks. "Sir?" hearing the voice of the young civilian next to him Tseng looked down; his head felt like it was stuffed with cotton and it was only getting worse as the day was wearing on. "Are they always like this?" snorting Tseng looked back to where a small group had gathered around where Cloud had Reno pinned. "This is mild."

Lunch was interesting to say the least; Sephiroth had been on a hell of a sugar high and was rattling off at a million miles an hour switching from topic to topic faster than a mini gun on full auto, it was bad enough even Zack gave up trying to follow him. Tseng had curled up on the bench and fallen asleep against Rude who was ignoring everyone; Reno and Cloud kept getting into insult wars with Genesis throwing in the occasional one to get the two going when they slowed down. Angeal had watched the group shaking his head all through lunch with Alex just staring at the group like they all had about eight heads.
He had been through basic rehearsals with the other actors and they were so far off from the real things it wasn't even funny.
They were now back out on the field waiting for directions on what they were going to do next, the director only had today to have the SOLDIER all day and then the next few days for small periods of time for small shots around Shinra. The action scenes which they would be filming actually in Wutai they had to use extra's for since the Director of SOLDIER had flat out refused to allow a huge chunk of his SOLDIER to travel to Wutai.
The SOLDIER had once more migrated back into their normal groups; it was actually amazing how most of the SOLDIER seemed to ignore the General and their group. Alex had expected them to be constantly around the General knowing he was out there; the man had this strange magnetism to him. Yet here everyone but his small group was basically ignoring him.
Playing with the helmet he had been given by one of the SOLDIER so he would be more in character he looked around. The group he had been adopted into was slightly splintered, the main portion of the group was there sitting at the edge of the field all talking and laughing. Sephiroth was crashing from the energy drinks and was curled up on the ground with his head in Cloud's lap snoozing; they were all once more wearing their helmets. According to them they were undercover for Director Lazard to make sure the director kept in order and to torment the actors.
Tseng was also snoozing his head on Sephiroth's stomach; Angeal was sitting across from Cloud and they were talking about swords, Rude would ask some things here and there but generally like always he remained silent. Zack and Reno had migrated over to a group of 3rds that had dance music pumping from a small music player and were jumping in at random points to make fools of themselves.
Genesis, Alex found out was still recovering from the horrible accident three weeks ago; his medication had kicked in causing him to become overly drowsy. He had wandered over to the side of the field where one of the groups of SOLDIER had their packs lined up and had created a nest for himself and was curled up among them.
"We really should take him back up to the apartment before he gets hurt." Angeal was watching his childhood friend; they had tried getting him to go back to the apartment but he refused.
"Alex." Blinking Alex turned around seeing the actor portraying Sephiroth moving up to them. Irritably he shoved the long silver hair he was forced to wear back behind his shoulder. "How the hell he can stand to have this long of hair is beyond me." He grumbled moving up to stand in front of the new actor.
There was a snort from the ground, "Practice…" Sephiroth muttered nuzzling farther into Cloud's stomach his hand resting on Tseng's chest. "And a lot of cussing with threats to cut it off." Cloud and Alex both chuckled, the latter returning to look at the model/ actor.
"What can I do for ya?" he asked wondering what he wanted with him. From what he knew of the Costa del Sol model he was pretty stuck up and only associated with the more experienced actors. Growling at his hair once more the actor turned back to regard the noob actor. "The director wanted me to work with you and make sure you have your lines memorized and you have finally settled on Zack Fairs style." Looking down at the group of SOLDIER laying close by, he sneered slightly. These were 3rd and 2nd class, low man on the totem pole; they might have been SOLDIER but they were still below him.
Turning slightly he looked to the actor who was portraying Angeal move up to them. Seeing his counterpart moving up Angeal sat up a little more now curious as to how everything was going to run. "We're gonna run through the lines when you are selected to become Angeal's apprentice." This caught the attention of the two napping participants on the ground; Sephiroth turned his head away from Cloud's stomach so he could watch and felt Tseng tilting his head back to watch as well. "Alright, I feel I can be Zack pretty well.. I hope." He wasn't going to say he could because the real thing was only about forty feet away laughing like an idiot with the others.
'Sephiroth' nodded and pulled himself into character blanking out his face and trying to look imposing. "Do I really look that bad?" Sephiroth asked softly looking back up to Cloud. Snorting Cloud shook his head gently rubbing a hand down his exposed cheek. "Only when you're having a really really bad day."
"SOLDIER 3rd class Zackary Fair, you have shown great skill through your training. The Director of SOLDIER feels you would benefit from more hands on training.. You have been assigned for one on one training with Commander Angeal Hewley." 'Sephiroth' motioned towards 'Angeal'
Plastering a bright smile onto his face Alex bounded up to 'Angeal' and thrust his hand out for him. "Really? Cool! Thank you! I'm Zack Fair." The actor playing Angeal looked utterly confused at this; he was expecting the boy to snap a salute just like the other men had when he spoke to them.
The actor portraying Sephiroth shook his head, "what the hell are you doing?" Alex shuffled nervously and cast a glance over to the group still sitting on the ground. "Doing what Zack Fair would do…" he stubbed his boot toe into the dirt feeling absolutely stupid now. Did he get it wrong?
The actors sighed the one portraying Angeal pinching the bridge of his nose. "Zackary Fair is SOLDIER, SOLDIER do not act like that."
"HA!"
The three actors looked down to where Sephiroth was covering his mouth trying hard not to laugh. Pulling his SOLDIER mask on he tilted his head back so he could look at them. "You are right; he needs to work on his impression of Lieutenant Fair. You didn't pounce Angeal and try and squeeze the life out of him.."
Alex and Cloud both burst out laughing; Angeal put his head into his hands; that had been exactly what Zack had done.
"So when he tells me he's going to be my mentor I jump on him and hug him tightly?"
"Exactly" Sephiroth smirked turning back into Cloud's stomach. Angeal groaned and swatted Sephiroth, "as accurate as that is, this director doesn't believe we're human you're going to get the poor boy in trouble."
"Fuck the director, he doesn't know a damn thing about SOLDIER; if he did he would have known Zackary was still a cadet during this time frame not a second class."
"Would also know Sephiroth isn't fucking a Turk." Tseng grumbled coughing.
"Are you boys playing nice?" blinking behind their helmets the five boys all sitting on the ground looked up. "Good afternoon Director Lazard." The three SOLDIERs smiled up at young Director, he always stood out with his bright blond hair, blue pinstripe jacket and purple ascot. Moving over to the group he smiled extending his hand, "Forgive me, I am Lazard Deusericus, Director of SOLDIER. You must be the actors portraying my 1st class."
The actor portraying Sephiroth took his hand shaking it firmly; he couldn't help but notice that Lazard didn't have the glowing eyes like his men. "Yes, and I must say it's an honor to be allowed this opportunity. I can only pray that I do not portray your great General in a bad light." Sephiroth snorted rolling back into Cloud's stomach and wound his arms around him. "They are already telling him he's acting wrong for Zack.. he's pretty spot on."
Chuckling softly Lazard looked to the young boy dressed up like Zack. "I am assuming you gave him the run down on how the puppy acts?"
"Of course Director, he picked up a lot of what we told him. He just needs to fix a few things and he'll have Zack down pat." Angeal stretched and pulled himself up and came to stand beside Lazard. "What brings you down here Director; you are a busy man I'm sure you didn't come down just to check up on us."
Sighing softly Lazard unconsciously pushed his glasses back up onto the bridge of his nose. "You're right, the director called me about a problem SOLDIER. Getting really lippy with him and generally not listening." Unwinding an arm from Cloud's waist Sephiroth pointed to the pile of bags where Genesis was dead to the world. "That would be Mr. I'm in pain over there."
"Our resident Diva, I should have known." Lazard had been asking himself all morning if it was a good idea to allow Genesis down here today. He seemed to be doing alright the past few days though Hollander's report said his back would continue to bother him for a while longer. The resident drama queen tended to get really snippy when he was really tired or in great amounts of pain.
Hearing coughing Lazard looked down; Tseng was curled up trying desperately not to hack his lungs out. Moaning now completely miserable he curled up more around Sephiroth, "So it was true that we had a sick man down here."
"I blame that damned hell known as icicle inn." Tseng groaned and pushed himself up onto his feet. Chuckling softly Lazard held up a very familiar mug; Tseng eyed it warily, how the hell had Lazard gotten into his office and grabbed his favorite mug.
"Elena gave this to me on my way out here, saying one of you wasn't feeling too good and this would help." Taking the mug the head Turk breathed in the fragrance almost instantly feeling his nose start to clear. "Oh thank Leviathan… I think she just earned a promotion.." shaking his head slightly Lazard set a hand on the reclusive Turk Directors shoulder; even through the thick sweater he could feel the corded muscles. It always amazed him how strong the man was, he knew he had to be because he went on just as many missions as his men did, but he didn't look that strong on the outside.
"I'll make sure Elena continues to bring this down for you, we can't have you down and out because you are sick." Regarding the crimson the commander quickly he turned back to the group still sitting on the ground. "Try and keep our diva under control, I will have a word with the director… did he really tear into the actor portraying Genesis?"
"He did Director Lazard." It was the actor portraying Angeal; he looked uncomfortable standing around the SOLDIER and now the director of SOLDIER. "That sounds like him; he has no problem dressing people down.. a word of advice." He turned to regard the three actors. "Don't piss him off, he's got a flash point temper and he tends to forget that not everyone is SOLDIER and can take a Fira to the face and live." Lazard couldn't help but smirk internally watching the color drain from the two older actors' faces, the youngest one was actually snickering behind his hand.
"Even if you're SOLDIER it hurts.." Angel absently rubbed his face; he had been privy to a few Genesis temper tantrums in his life.
"There you guys are, the director is ready to start filming." There was a choking sound followed by chest wrenching coughing. Looking over to their newest companion Lazard put a hand over his mouth trying hard to keep the smile from his face; he could see why his fellow Director was choking on his tea. Pulling himself back Lazard smiled at the man that stood before them in a black suit allowing his blue eyes to travel over the man. He was tall and thinly built (almost too thin) with short cropped slicked black hair; he had a slightly pointed face. His eyes were a bright hazel and large showing the man was from Midgar even though they had made his coloring so he appeared to be from Wutai.
"Alright, come on Zackary.." the actor portraying Sephiroth headed back towards where the camera crews was setting up for the next scene. "See you guys later." Alex smirked and trotted off after the other two actors.
"Behave yourself boys, I expect a full report on my desk tomorrow morning." Lazard turned his attention to the man portraying Tseng. "Can you take me to the Director, he called for me not long ago." The actor nodded and motioned towards where the camera crew was.
Sephiroth sat up and looked up at his big brother smirking evilly. "mmm, I think this moving is going to be very entertaining..ow!" laughing Sephiroth grabbed his shin knowing he was getting the Turk death glare from under that helmet.

"CUT!"
Groaning Cloud collapsed to the ground leaning back against a 3rd class that was behind him; his head falling back to rest on the SOLDIERs shoulder. "Kill me.. please.." he was so mana drained it wasn't even funny.
For the past three hours they had been filming materia battles and mock sword fights as "training" it seemed like no matter what they did it was never good enough for the director. He wanted bigger and better and no matter what the lower class SOLDIER gave him it wasn't enough. He wanted 1st class type battles but Lazard had forbidden them to participate in the battles; their training was top secret.
No Cloud hadn't been actually participating in the materia battles; he had been on healing duty. This moronic director was trying to dictate the battles and it was only ending up in his fellow SOLDIER getting hurt.
Lazard was once more down on the field currently chewing the Directors ass for putting his men into such a dangerous position.
Grunting Cloud pushed himself up onto his feet and staggered over to the area the rest were sitting on the side lines. Because the 1st had been forbidden to participate they had migrated over to where Genesis nest was; the Turks had followed shortly afterwards as they were not willing to get seriously hurt for a movie. Tseng had collapsed next to Genesis and curled up next to him and promptly passed out, the others were currently involved in a very intense game of poker.
"This whole thing is a fucking joke." Cloud snarled collapsing in Sephiroth's lap and curling up not caring that he was covering his cards. Snorting Sephiroth maneuvered the young blond in his lap so he could get his cards out. "We knew it was going to be a joke from the moment Lazard told us about this."
"Yeah but this is even more of a joke than normal yo." Growling Reno folded and leaned back against the bleachers. "Uh oh, looks like Lazard didn't get through." The group looked over seeing a very irritated Lazard marching over; he angrily shoved his glasses back up his nose, those blue eyes flashing with pure murder in them.
"Egotistical ass hole." Lazard snarled flomping down on the ground next to Zack, he resisted the great urge to stick his lower lip out in a pout. "Alright, I'll go deal with him, here.." Blinking Lazard barely had time to register that Sephiroth was talking before cards were trust into his hand and a sleeping blond was set on his lap.
"Oh now this is adorable.. say cheese Director." Angeal had pulled his camera out and was snapping pictures of the two. Shaking his head Lazard couldn't help but smile, it was nice to see this side of the boys.
Looking around Sephiroth made sure the Director was occupied and pulled his helmet off. Quickly he undid the two pins holding his bangs to his head and undid the braid; thankfully his hair hadn't been up in the style long enough to become wavy. Pulling it on top of his head he shoved his helmet back on before it could fall back down.
"Oh this is going to be good.." Reno sat up a bright smile splitting his face. Crawling across the fake grass he crawled up into the nest where Tseng and Genesis were still asleep. "Hey, wake up you two.." groaning Genesis pulled his eyes open and looked over to the figure shaking him. "What do you want slum rat.." rolling his eyes at the pathetic insult Reno pointed to where Sephiroth was walking towards the director.
Rubbing his eyes Genesis sat up a smirk starting to cross his lips, "Oh this is going to be fun.." Tseng sat up next to him and pulled out his PHS, he sent a quick text to the person on security saying he wanted a in close of this conversation with audio; it's good to be the king!
The others all migrated over to the packs, a now awake Cloud and Lazard included.
Striding towards the cameras Sephiroth blanked out his mind, it was time to give his counterpart a first had experience of the real General. Pulling on the persona of the Great Shinra General his stride unconsciously lengthened, his steps became completely silent. When he became the General once more his whole aura changed, he was a predator stalking his prey.
The meek man from before was the first to notice his approach; his eyes seemed to bug from his head and he quickly moved over to the director.
"What is it Fred." The director snapped, he was going increasingly irritated with the idiots he was surrounded by. It already looked like they were going to have to find a new Zackary Fair as the kid was horrible at acting like a member of SOLDIER. "Sir, a SOLDIER is coming over here.. and he's doesn't look happy." The director reached up rubbing his temples, "Let's get this over with.." setting the script book down he looked over to the SOLDIER moving towards them; instantly he felt all the hairs standing up on the back of his neck. The others around him had stopped talking and were all watching the SOLDIER's approach.
Seeing he had all their attention Sephiroth kept the smirk off that was threatening to cross his lips. Reaching up he gripped the edge of his helmet and peeled it off throwing it off to the side as he continued to walk.
Long moonlight colored hair fell down the SOLDIER's back, long arched bangs came to frame a stony face with frozen mako acid green eyes. "General Sephiroth.." the actor portraying Sephiroth whispered his green eyes wide as he got his first ever view of the real thing. He felt a shiver of dread running up his spine as those glowing acid eyes swept over him and locked with his own.
Breaking the lock with the actor's gaze Sephiroth instead turned to the director, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous glare. Coming to stand in front of the man he did not give him a chance to speak. "Director," his voice was cold enough to freeze lava. "You are no longer authorized to use my SOLDIER for your movie; any further scenes that require them will have to be substituted with extras from your crew. I do not take kindly to my men being placed in the line of danger due to a single man's incompetence." Sephiroth pinned the director with an icy his aura telling the man to keep quiet. "My men will be dismissed and you and your crew are to leave the SOLDIER compound. If you do not you will be escorted from the plate by the Turks. You have one hour, I believe that is substantial time to remove your presence from our training grounds."
"What, you can't do that!" the director's face was turning a hideous shade of merlot the anger pouring from him in waves. "You have put my men into harm's way; dishonored and ignored our Director, insulted my Commander. We are finished here, any complaints should be typed and brought to my office."
Turning on his heel Sephiroth stalked back towards his men; he smirked seeing them all watching him. "Well.. you heard me.. get the hell out of here!"
Zack let out a loud whoop throwing off his helmet and raced over puppy pouncing Sephiroth. Shaking his head Tseng moved up to the director pulling his helmet off and pulling up the Turk mask.
"I am Director Tseng, of the Turks. With the removal of SOLDIER you are no longer cleared to be within the compound. You have one hour to move back within the designated floor of the Shinra building, Turks Reno and Rude will remain here to make sure that you adhere to this." he looked back to Reno and Rude motioning for the two of them to stay. "If there is a delay, inform Reno and we shall make further arrangements." Nodding to the cast and crew Tseng headed off for the nice comfortable bed waiting for him up in the boy's apartment. He was going to go up, crawl into bed and just die..
