ShinRa Cabin(Open to all former ShinRa employees)

"If you think you will need backup I suppose it would be wise for one of us to go with you and the remaining person to stay with the President here, I hope this plan works though...." She said staring at Rikelus, "Oh in case you decide to take someone else take this..." Zellie said softly as she took out a pen and some paper, writing then handing her cellphone number to Rikelus. "Well make your decision swiftly, though whoever stays with the President needs to take him to a safer location no doubt the target will persue him..."

I have thought about taking other career choices in the recent past but they wouldn’t be as interesting per say as the one I hold currently. There are people all over the world, doing odd jobs just to make end’s meat and sometimes they even off each other in full-scale mercenary wars. I thought about a career as a bookey a long time ago, ya’know taking beats on everything including the weather, the stock markets, chocobo races, bandersnatch fights, what color underwear Scarlet’s wearing…well not always that one..BUT obviously, and lots of other things. Maji called me crazy, of course I believe that she’s right to some extent but there’s something like a one in a million chance of being struck by lightning. That’s pretty crazy when you look at the odds.

You’re more likely to get in a car crash are greater than you are to get in a plane crash. The odds of a high ranking Soldier living his life in peace after ShinRa is nil. Knowing the odds of things helps you know what to expect, I guess. Maji changed my mind about that and it was a twist of fate that united the two of us. Our paths will forever be intertwined, “Alright, Kunsel you’re on guard duty, watch the president and protect him from himself even if you have to. Zellie, you’re with me.” With that being said Rikelus Deverell exited the building swimming trunks and all speaking to Zellie as he made his way towards the ebony black chopper.

“Turks and Soldiers are a lot alike I think because we deal with what we do because it comes in spurts and lulls. If you think about it, were always on call, when asked to jump we ask how high. Work happens based upon whether the public or a private investor is happy with the outcome of anything from a chocobo race to a political being elected into office.”

“In essence life’s about choices Zellie, if you learn anything from the next couple of days, learn that it’s not whether the choice is right or wrong; but it’s about who does it affect. It’s hard living a life where you make sully choices and do everything that you think is right and watch someone important o you die. Don’t ever live in a world that detests you and blame it upon the decisions you’ve made I the past. Remember that you can change things, if you work hard enough any goal is attainable. Remember your pride, and use it as a tool in times of crisis. If you must love cherish every moment of it.”

With that being said Rikelus Deverell reached up grabbing onto a handle and hopped up into the chopper strapping himself in and leaning his head back against the headrest shutting his eyes listening to the low hum of the helicopter blades before his crimson red eyes cracked open.

Rikelus's words hit Zellie like a bullet of inspiration, her blood ran wild with the thoughts of the future mission as she jumped into the helicopter and strapped herself in. "Since you shared your personal thoughts with me I feel I Should tell you something, see this?" she said, holding up her MP3 player, "While I was working for ShinRa they found that my mood and battle tactics will change greatly depending on what sort of music I can hear.........in essence this is my greatest weapon!" She said,a smile passing her lips as she leaned back "Lets do the President proud!" Zellie said her sparkling eyes now closed as she realised that she may have found some purpose to her life again.

Rufus let a small smirk out as the SOILDER and the Turk headed out together. It would seem that Meteorfall and the Kadaj incident had weeded out all of the people who, like his father, gave ShinRa a bad name.

It was as if they all had the same idea for the company's future. This was the new generation of ShinRa. The world's shining future.

He was a bit disappointed that he could not join his employees. He wanted to aid them and face the same troubles that they faced. But...being the president had it's draw backs. He couldn't participate in half of the things that he wished to.

"So, Kunsel, what have you been up to these past few years?"

He may as well get to know to the SOILDER. They would be alone together until Zellie and Rikelus returned with more information.

[zetakitsune]

As the helicopter lazily flew off of the ground, Zellie thought of many things. What had happend to my old friends? What if I don't do well enough on this mission...... She shook these thoughts off rather quickly focusing on the mission ahead with excitement and nervousness as she glanced out the window into the building where the President was currently staying.

[kunsel]

"Ahh man..." Kunsel shruged " i hate guard duty" just then Kunsel noticed rufus speaking directly to him "Oh what have i been doing? To be honest sir i dont really know, my memory seems to be in a blur the last thing i can remember is getting a message telling me Zack Fair SOLDIER 1st class had been killed in action, along with Sephiroth. But i knew it couldnt be true."Kunsel looked up to see an unamused look across rufuses face

"Oh uhh..who cares about that Sir! what have you been doing!..err Nice to see your Geostigma is gone."

[knave]

"Is that all you can remember?" Rufus said, his eye brow raised. "Well, we've got to get you updated SOLDIER. A lot has happened since then..."

He ran his left hand over his right; an old habit from his days spent dealing with his Geostigma. Rufus could help but to run his hand over it whenever he remembered his battle with the disease.

Walking over to the window, he stared through the dusty blinds. "You say you hate guard duty, SOLDIER First Class...Kunsel..."

The president turned to face Kunsel. "As do I hate being guarded..." His peircing blue eyes glared at the helmet that covered Kunsel's face. "...How would you like to get into something a bit more...interesting..."

A sliver of a smirk came across his face.

"My sources tell me there's a disturbance in Edge City...would you like to accompany me to handle it? We should be back with ample time before the other two return..."

[kunsel]

from the inside of the helmet a small smirk appeard " Disturbance you say what kind? No it doesnt matter im in" Kunsel suddenly realized this Rufus is much diffrent from the one before, he doesnt hide behind hired muscle to do his work no..he does it himself.

"If we are going to be in battle together calling you Mr.President is going to get old" Kunsel said in a jocular manner while shrugging his shoulders "If we are going to be up against Genesis Copy's then ill need to remove this helmet, they have been known to disguise themselves as SOLDIERS." after he is finished speakin Kunsel raises both hands to the bottom of the helmet slowly lifting it up revealing his face. He looked pale yet not fragile his eyes were the color of a grayish fog unlike normal mako infused eyes which are blue/green. his hair seemed to be in a permanent helmet hair and was the color of fire.

"Nice to finally see you with my own eyes" he met Rufus eye to eye hoping rufus would acknowledge him as proud SOLIDER 1st class. "So shall we?"

[knave]

Rufus hid his surprise well. He was, in fact, quite surprised at Kunsel's face. It was nothing like what he had expected. Over the years he had participated in a few games of 'Guess what Kunsel looks like under the helmet'. Hopefully no one would try to collect on all of those bets.

"It's an honor, Kunsel." He gave a slight bow to the SOLDIER. "Yes, that would get quite tiresome I imagine. Call me 'Rufus'."

Rufus made a move toward the door. He had a private chopper that could get them to Edge in minutes. "You're right. There were reports of Genesis Copies in Edge as well. Hopefully we can exterminate a few of them..."

Opening the door, the president gave a notion to follow with a flick of his wrist.

[kunsel]

seeing Rufuses motion kunsel quickly followed anxiously.

As they get into the helicopter kunsel looks at Rufus with his Foggy eyes. "So curios why my eyes are like this? its obviously not natural" Before Rufus can speak Kunsel continues " Remember Soldiers were given Mako shots upon joining? mine didn't go so well, the Mako energy infected my eyes taking away most of the color, but thats not the worst of it, it also infected my nervous system causing my muscles to solidify so i was pretty much incapable of doing anything for about 3 months, but luckily Hojo although crazy was a genius and implanted a small portion of Jenova cells into my body which fixed...no mutated my nervous system. My muscles became stronger then before and my bones became more flexible." Kunsel demonstrates by spinning his torso almost all the way around" kinda freaky eh?" spinning back around Kunsel closed his eyes and thought about the nights he spent in pain because of the infection" Y'know Mako is a dangerous thing"

After a few minutes of Kunsel thinking of the past and asking Rufus many questions about how to run a business and what the "Fine print" was he suddenly remembered something " Oh! hey Rufus when we get to edge can we stop by the meteor memorial? there is something i have to pick up there? its sort of a memento of mine."

after speaking for what it seemed to be the final time Kunsel awaited Rufuses comments while twiddling his thumbs.

[knave]

Rufus' face contorted as Kunsel spun his torso nearly all the way around. Mako certainly WAS dangerous. He would make sure to never make the same mistake his father made. Accidents like the ones gave Kunsel his condition would be a thing of the past if Mako energy was thrown out of the window.

"I'm sorry for your condition. If there was anything I could have done..." He trailed off as the helicopter's engine roared; lifting them into the sky.

"Oh! hey Rufus when we get to edge can we stop by the meteor memorial? there is something i have to pick up there? its sort of a memento of mine."

"Of course. We'll be traveling around the monument either way. That's where the most activity of Genesis copies has been spotted..."



((let's hop over to Edge =P))
