Zanza was leaning back on a rock. The fog was killing him, because he could barely see anything but the sky. Not soon after he though this did the fog start fading. Now, he could see. He jumped up on top of a rock, and began rock hopping. He soon reached the center-most region of the rock formation, and looked down in. He saw nothing but the emptiness of the cavern. He thought of how empty he was. It had matched the empty hole before him. Looking around, he saw where he came in from, and smiled devilishly. The entire WRO Squad he fought when he first came here was still there, their bodies not moving. 34 men were killed from Zanza's increadable speed, strength, and capability.
But, that wasn't the reason why he was smiling. He knew that someone more powerful would come. Someone far stronger than the soldiers he fought only ten minutes ago. The next person was sure to be a fighter, and he needed one. He leaned up against another rock, and waited for the next person to come, so he can be sure his abilities were at their peak, for the moment...

She’d been here before. Her memories had led her here, her cerulean eyes scanned the crater, she didn’t know what had brought her to this place but something wanted to be remember. It had better be important, the pain I endured for that memory was worse than normal! her mind hissed violently at her and she didn’t blame it. Calamity looked around, the moment she’d been able to stand she’d left and head here, searching for who knows what. A noise caught her attention, her twin sais appeared in her hands, running the blades up her arms.
I wonder what that was…it sounded like footsteps. Her pale blue eyes widened when she saw the bodies, she froze, trembling slightly. She’d never witnessed anything like this before. She quickly checked the pulses of those near her. She bowed her head, her eyes hidden by her hair, she was shuddering. Not in fear but in anger. Who would do something like this? Her blue-ish black hair completely hid her face, she stood up, her sais were in her hands once more as she listened.
Calamity cast a side long glance at the guy she’d just noticed, wondering who he was and what he was doing here. “Are you the one who did this?” she said coldly.

Zanza smiled, grimmly. "What if I said I did." He said, calmly yet devilishly. He jumped up onto the edge of the crater nearby the girl. He sensed a Light Aura around her, and pulled out his sword. "You are of Good Nature. For that, I only ask you to leave this place at once, or be destroied. Should you value your life, leave." He looked over to the guns of his fallen enemies. Using his control over metal, he picked them up, loaded them with his mind, and made an entire half circle around the girl, with him on the outside of the circle. He looked very serious now. Staring straight into her eyes, he had to know. "Before you say if you'll leave or not, tell me. Why are you here?"

Great, should have listened to the doctors and went the opposite way to my memories… She pointed the blades of her sais straight at the guy. “Why?” A simple demand, she wanted to know why he’d done such a thing. She’d met the WRO a few times but never in such a large group. Why were there so many of them? Were they after him? She laughed coldly at him. “If I value my life? I’ll let you know when I have one,” she flipped the sais so that they were running up her arms, a ready stance. She wasn’t leaving until she got what she came for.
Her cerulean eyes narrowed, she hated guns, speckles of mako green appeared in her eyes. The JENOVA cells had become more prominent in her blood, almost as if the loss of her memories had made the JENOVA cells dormant. “I’m here to reclaim something lost and refuse to leave until I get it back,” she stood her ground, she had no choice. This could be the bit of the puzzle she needed. Her hand started to tremble violently, making her drop the sai that was being held tightly in its grasp. “Oh no…not now…” she fell to her knees as she screamed out, unable to stop the scream from leaving her lips. It was blood curdling and horrifying.
*Flashback Start*
The thirteen year old Calamity knelt on her knees, tore to ribbons, a scratch ran along her right cheek where her fathers blade had caught her. She wiped the crimson elixir from her cheek with a dark look in her cerulean eyes. She slowly stood up, unarmed and took up a fighting stance, facing down her father, she wasn’t weak and she knew it, now he would too.
Her father lunged at her with his katana drawn, in one fluent motion she placed her hand before the katanas blade, feeling it go straight through her palm before she moved it to the side to direct the blade away from her before flipping herself to kick her father in the side of the head. He hit the floor hard, removing the katana from her now bleeding hand.
She was panting, blood running down her fingers, hitting the ground below her feet. She’d just proved herself a fighter.
*Flashback End*
She panted, catching her breath as she looked down at her palm that was now gushing with blood, she picked up her sai, ignoring like the blood like she had before. “Stupid JENOVA cells…”

Zanza heard the scream, and jumped back, surprised, but still maintained control over the weapons. His blade was still facing up towards the girl. This girl was in great pain, something he hadn't caused for now. He listened to the girl before, what she said about looking for something. When she stood up, he let the guns fall around her. He turned away, facing the crater's emptiness, calming himself. "In case you were wondering," He added. "Those WRO members were after me. I've caused them a large amount of trouble while I was working for Deepground." He turned back, expression not changed. "Find what you're looking for, and go away." Zanza quickly jumped down after that statement, picked up the guns after him, and brought them down with him.

She couldn’t hold her sai tight enough for her liking, the blood was preventing her from getting a grip on it. Calamity looked down at her hand, it wasn’t going to stop anytime soon. The sai fell, sticking out of the ground while her blood dripped straight onto the ground, her cerulean eyes scanned the wound before ripping the sleeve of her shirt and wrapping it around her hand tightly so that the wound had pressure on it. She looked down at it, flexing her fingers gently, the blood wasn’t gushing out as quickly as it had been. “Who hasn’t caused trouble lately, everyone I meet seems to have caused trouble,” she said with a sigh as she put her other sai away, picking up the other one and doing the same. “I don’t plan on staying here longer than I have to…who would want to?” she crouched down pressing her finger tips into the soil to stop herself from falling over as she drew her memories back to her, searching for her reason for being drawn here.

Zanza looked around. Time was of the essence. He knew the girl was still there. Without turning, he yelled up. "I'll give you five minutes. If you're not gone by then, I'll kill you." Pulling out his sword once more, he began slicing rock formations. He had to keep his blade sharp. If he were going to get into a fight, he needed to keep his abilities at their peak. The formations were like toothpicks to the power of his blade and swing. The rocks seperated easily, sliding off the bottom. His sword was at its fullest capability, as was he. Four minutes remained. He turned around, facing the girl with a vicious smile.

She rolled her eyes, if she needed more time than that she would have it, there was no disputing that. “You lack originality,” she said calmly, “I would more if I were you otherwise you may end up with a sai in your foot.” She crouched down, moving some of the dirt that was covered something white, a piece of paper she guessed, maybe material. She pushed the dirt away and right enough there several pieces of paper all full of writing. Her eyes suddenly became more mako green, the cerulean was becoming less visible. She picked them up, it was reports of some kind, her eyes scanned it but quickly widened when she realised what it was.
The report on her bodies reactions to the JENOVA cells.
Her fingers clutched the piece of paper tighter, The process was a success, her immune system was quickly infected and strengthened, the chances of her becoming ill or weakened by wounds has decreased to the point that if she did become ill the most major thing it will be is a headache… Her eyes stopped scanning, her fingers were trembling, the more she found out about the JENOVA cells the more she hated them being there.
“I came here…I had this information, I brought it here…There’s something else here…” she whispered.

Zanza heard footsteps behind him. He lashed out his blade and called up to the girl. "Look alive, we've got company!" This was the nicest thing he's ever said to anyone. He readied his stance, and saw that it was a squad of Deepground infantry. He still stayed in his stance, not regarding if the soldiers were here to help or capture him. Then, the leader of the squad stood forward.
"Zanza, we are here to initiate your arrest." The man said. "When you left before the end, only a few managed to escape afterwards. Then, most of the others were either killed or captured as POWs. Now, you being a fugitive, trying to escape punishment, we've been sent by the WRO and Deepground cooperation group, trying to find renegades before the fall of Deepground, to take you back for full punishment. Come quietly, and we'll not kill you."
Zanza shrugged. "I left Deepground for a reason: So I was not to be killed by Valentine or OMEGA, much like your spirits for Deepground. You've given yourself up to the enemy, therefore you are traitors. So, now you shall meet death." Zanza rushed towards the squad of soldiers, as they returned his rush.

Calamity turned when she heard him speak, glancing at him with an indifferent look upon her features, she knew that uniform anywhere, she’d already ran into several people wearing the same type of uniform. She stood with her arms crossed over her chest, the sais she wielded where being held tightly in her hand, the sai that was being held so tightly in her right hand was being tapped impatiently on her side. They were interfering with what she needed to find. How inconvenient of them.
Valentine? She looked at them with a perplexed look on her face, Vincent Valentine? His name jumped into her mind, she’d heard it or read it somewhere before though she had no idea where. She noticed that some of the group had turned their attention to her, she narrowed her eyes at them. Why were they looking at her like that? She didn’t understand it, they had no reason to look at her. She rolled her eyes, like he was going to come along quietly, when did they ever?
She remained where she was for now, observing for now, she moved suddenly however when two members of the squad got behind him, she caught their weapons with her sais, looking at them with eyes the colour of mako. “Who are you?” The two guys asked in unison, the question caught her off guard, making her look at them with darkened eyes.
“I’m Calamity Valentine,” she spun and kicked them both away, spinning her sais in her hands before smiling at them.

Zanza smiled, moving his eyes to the side of his vision. "You ready for this, Calamity?" He asked, grimmly. "By the way," He turned his head. "Name's Zanza. But most call me 'Dark Wing,' for this exact reason." Darkness came over the moonlit place, forming Zanza's eledged "Dark Wings." This sent a shudder of fear down the spines of the enemy. Zanza rushed forwards, slashing at some of his old comerades.

“I was trained for this since I was like…6,” she flipped her sais a few times, getting the grip right but the cloth on her hand was obstructing it. Using her other sai she cut off the bloodied rag, watching it fall to the ground. Her mako eyes watched it before turning her attention back to the group, she was able to hold her sais more effectively now. Good news for her, bad news for anyone who tried to attack her.
Her eyes moved to Zanza, nodding politely before replying, “Pleasure I’m sure.” She rolled her eyes as she saw the wings. “Great someone else who rubs my nose in the fact I’m normal,” she muttered to herself. Her mako eyes scanned the guy who was standing right next to her as if unsure whether to attack her or not. She made the decision for him and slammed the handle of her sai into his neck, rendering him unconscious.
Calamity flipped herself over a few of the guys, thrusting her sais backwards to stab them in the side before standing up straight and looking at the guys who were now looking at her, no not here, her eyes. The truth of her strength showing defiantly in them. JENOVA cells. They were the reason behind her mako coloured eyes.

One by one, Zanza's enemies fell like flies. He used the metalic parts of the Deepground Helmets and fired the helmets as if they were only some projectile. One of the helmets knocked another soldier's helmet, knocking him out. Meanwhile, Zanza was out killing to his heart's content. Feeling massive power rushing through his already adrenaline clogged blood flow, he hadn't fought like this in a while. He had a second to look over to Calamity. "Looks like you're doin' fine!" He yelled, smiling. Then, he returned to his work.
Suddenly, a group of more soldiers came out. "Captain!" They cried. Zanza at first thought they were talking to him, but then he saw the massive soldier behind them. The large officer had a giant sword on his back, a chain gun, and an RPG. Just before Zanza could do anything, the soldier fired an RPG round. Thinking quickly, he pulled a giant metal slab in front of him. The blast did nothing to the metal that he had put in front of himself. He turned around. "Calamity, finish them off and get behind cover!"

Is he trying to say that he didn’t think I would do fine? This thought was pushed aside, she wasn’t in the mood to argue about her capabilities. She was a very talented fighter and these men weren’t very talented. Calamity dodged an attack, kicking the guy in the face before flipping backwards off of him. She glared at a guy who went to attack her from behind, clearly not happy he would try such a cowardly attack. “You should quit while you’re a head,” Calamity looked at the guys with a cold look in her eyes. Calamity threw her sais at them, both of them becoming impaled by the sais.
Calamity heard him yell to her and quickly turned her attention to him, she flipped, landing beside her sais, striking at the enemies near her. She slammed her knee into the ribs of the one next to her, pushing herself backwards and away from him. She looked at Zanza again, wondering what he was planning and why she was having to hid. Calamity leaned back against the rock she was hiding behind. “Why I am to take cover?” she looked at down at her blood stained sais, there are times when she hates seeing them like this but this was not one of them, better theirs than hers.

The gigantic soldier was setting up his RPG for rapid fire. "This is why!" Zanza yelled. The soldier began to blast away at both the rock Calamity was hiding behind and Zanza's metal plate. The rock quickly began to crumble, and Zanza ran to the rock, covering it with the metal plate, hiding himself in the space between the rock and his plate. "I have an idea. You're very agile, right? Do you think you can jump off of the rock and throw your sais at his armaments? That should give us a fighting chance. Then we can take them all down in unison."
Zanza was taking even more blasts to the metal, and he had no idea how much longer the plate could last. "Let me know when you're ready!" Zanza stayed in his position, and waited for Calamity's call.
