Rude grunted, and then walked up to Tseng. "Mr. Tseng... we have investigated the reports of the silver haired man and have found nothing." He said and then he grinned slightly to himself. "Because Reno here was too busy chatting on and on about the one called Tifa Lockheart." He said and then turned to Reno and smirked, then moved his mouth as if saying. "That was for the glasses..."
((Sorry it took me so long, guys.. I might not respond too fast because I can't get on much anymore.. I'll try.))

Vincent wondered many things as he sat there alone in this darkness. He knew the smells of this place, the feeling he had when he was last here. There was no doubt in his mind he was within the belly of the beast. Or even better way to put it, inside Hojo's labs. This was where his nightmare had begun and he believed it wasn't finished yet. Without a word the man turned his head, trying to see if he could see anything.
But he couldn't it was dark all around him and his eyes could not adjust now. He felt... Weaker than he had been in years, powerless. These were things he didn't like hearing nor did he have a tendancy to favor being anyways near the stench of Hojo, but here he was...
Helpless... And alone.
Yet he was stuck on one thing, almost a year ago they had thought of him dead. No doubt since when the battle between Omega and himself (Chaos) ended he had disappeared and lost his Cerberus chain, for his gun of course. That had made him an unhappy man but it couldn't be helped for the time being.
The one thing he knew since he disappeared that the one probbaly that would be searching for him was Cid Highwind.
That made him wish that the man would pop out of no where and help...
Because if Hojo was really around, he was screwed.
Here she was, trapped within the place, the martial artist asssumed as she had no replies from her calls, wondering if there was someone around her. Alas, she was here, alone, stuck. There was not much else she could do like this, staying here seemed like a bad option. She doubted that she could move all that well, there was probably something broken. The would explain the pain she had in her leg, it was a dull throb but it hurt enough to have her attention...
Standing, slowly, surely, flexing her muscels to see if there was anything wrong with her form. It ended up that her ankle was most likely twisted but for now that wasn't going to stop her. Taking step after step she walked as much as she could, grabbing onto walls and trying to find her way.
But what she felt was smooth stone, at least she hiped that was what the walls were made of, because that's what it felt like. What seemed to be hours of walking turned only to be more than half an hour at her pace... But she couldn't see, and with that sense blinded for the time being...
She felt helpless.
Almost grinning at the sound of Cloud's voice calling him Tifa he spoke just to make sure the boy's hopes weren't crushed as bad.
"Cloud, it's Reeve... No, Tifa's not here if that's what your going to ask, but is she missing?"
In truth he was curious, he usually heard from Tifa once a week, like most of the Avalanche members who contacted him. They talked and caught up them. It was a ritual that probably only Cloud and Vincent ignored. Most of the time people called Cloud anways.
The WRO leader said nothing for a moment as he gathered his thoughts before speaking again to Cloud, cutting off anything he was going to say for the moment.
"And besides, Cloud, I have to ask you a favor... That is why I'm calling. But if Tifa's missing finding her is more important..."
Rufus walked into another room near the place he was currently at and sat down on his bed, laying back... The blonde looked around the place, doubting that the Turks would be back soon. This gave him the opperturnity for a damn nap, which he knew that of all things he needed now sleep was the most.
Closing those lovely blue hues he soon found himself drifting off into the sweet blidd of dreams that kept everyone happy. This was what he had needed, a pleasent dream.
One that was away from this world, from working in the Turks, and wondering what was going to happen.
Just... peace...
That's what he was getting.
The leader of the turks was NOT pleased with Reno. Walking up to Rude and the hiding man with a frown on plain display he looked at Rude, nodding at the report.
"Very well." He spoke, quickly, gathering his thoughts on what to say next... "Reno."
He wasn't happy hearing that Reno was into Tifa Lockheart, as far as his reports had gone (meaning that Elena and Tifa had become friends since the AC incident two years ago that Cloud and her were together. Thankfully she kept him informed, more so discussing what was going on than reports.
"Reno, you are to come with me. Elena, Rude, I need the two of you to find Our boss, make sure he's safe." And with a few steps the man grabbed Reno's ear and dragged him off effortlessly.
Elena watched this and almost grinned at the part where Tseng dragged Reno off. She knew that the idiot red-head was in for an earful and she felt no pity. Tseng was pissed, anyone could feel the pissed vibes coming off from hsi form and realized that later she would be the one calming him down. Not minding the task given she said a 'yes sir' as her boss left and looked at Rude.
"Shall we get started on finding the boss?" Knowing Rufus Shinra, he had probably wandered off somewhere on his own just to make everyone worried.
No, he didn't do it on purpose, their boss just did what he wanted and caused everyone a large amount of worry and stress. But she wouldn't trade it for anything, being a Turk was the best job in the world.
Zack said not a word to the woman he loved as she looked at the pool. Staying calm, he watched her think, move. Even if it distracted him every lovely word abd syllable spoke from her lips made his heart speed just a little more. He loved that woman, no matter what happened he promised to protect her. Whether it be in the lifestream or on the Planet, that's where he'd be, by her side protecting her from the world. From the pain and sadness he would kiss away, wiping her tears and telling her that everything was going to be alright. Even if this resting period was over for them, they still had the rest of whenever to spend with one another.
Looking at his love, keeping that soft grip on her hand as she squeezed tightly he let a small grin cross his lips for a moment or two. "...Yes... It is, hm?" He wasn't truly asking that it was Jenova, just... Oh he wasn't sure what. But he was happy, happy that Aerith was his and his only for now and eternity.
He was happy, just for this moment before letting his worries flood in about what was going to happen, but her next words almost shocked him. "Going... back? You mean being alive again Aerith?" He asked his love, almost confused in what she was saying.
"Do I get to make fun of Cloud?" There was a large grin on his lips as he remembered every single nickname he had to call Cloud now, from 'Chocobo-head' to 'feather-brain'. Ah, it was going to be fun. But the grin was for both of them, to ease her just a little, they were both going to go back, and if he was right there was a ring in his pocket still that he was going to use.
That's what he had promised himself, that if they were to be among the living once more he would propose to her and make sure they were married before they died again. That was his goal, and it would take place soon.
"So, what are we waiting for? And if it's for Cloudo to ask for us... I think's its better to just go ahead."

Aerith could not help but smile and laugh at Zack's word, shaking her head softly and closing her eyes. That was another thing she loved about him, he could alway's make her happy and he was a goofball at times. She held on tightly to his hand, opening her eyes and staring at the ground for a moment, a smile still on her face.
The young half Cetra looked up at the black haired man, her green eyes bright and her pale face angalic looking "If that's what you want to do when we get back then sure." She said, placing her other hand on his shoulder "You can call him all the name's you want as long as we get our job done!" She said, lacing her finger's with his while her other hand moved ferther around his shoulders.
Just the the feeling of being able to touch him, and just be with him like this made her heart soar and beat faster. She stood still for a moment, smiling as her green eyes looking into his blue/voilet ones. These were the things that she loved, these little moment's that they could spend together without anyone else around. And knowing that no matter what happened to her they would come back together, in life or death. She at last let go of his hand and wrapped both of her arms around him, lying her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes "The elder council of Cetra and the planet have to say if it's alright first....And they are already in a meeting about something." She said, enjoying being able to get this close to him. He smelled so good.......
A picture flashed before her eyes, causing them to shot open and for her to rougly push Zack away. She lifted a hand to her head, her long brown hair hiding her face from sight. She shook her head to clear the picture away "Damnit...." She cursed, blushing not to long after she had said it. It wasn't like her to curse at all....It must have been Cid's and Barret's influence at last getting to her.
Jenova smiled as she sensed her devoted servant, Hojo. The odd earth scentist would be a big part in her plan's. Her gaze turned to the planet, to the one part where she could make a new body for herself, Hojo's old lap. She could sense the ex-turk's presence in there, she knew he could not do much of anything at the moment....It would be the perfect time for her to anouce her return to the earth.
She focused the magic she had been charging up over time, focusing on the one thing she had told Hojo to do that he had done right, he had started to create her a new body. It had taken many many year's, but it was ready for her now. Everylast little thing was done with it....
A wave of curses filled the air of the Highwind ship, it's poilet storming back and forth on the bridge as he fussed once more at a member of his crew. The member was a young boy, who coulnd't have been more then 16. Poor boy.....
Cid sighed softly and leaned agenst one of the railigns inside the ship, his stormy blue eyes closed as he tried to calm himself down. THe young boy had been around close by the engine, meaning to be working on it but of course, him still being a kid he had screwed up, and screwed up a lot. He closed his eyes for a moment, thinking over how long it would take to repair everything "Damnit!! It's going to take a ******** week!" He yelled, punching the wall. He was heading for Cloud and Tifa's, but right now he was right outside Nibelhiem. It was the closes place to him.
He turned around and looked at the boy, noticing that he was shaking and sweating real bad. It almost made him laugh that someone was scared of him. He shook his head "Forget it! Just start working on that damned thing and get it fixed." And with that, he stormed out of the bay, heading on up and out of his ship.

Cloud couldn't help but frown. It was Reeve on the phone, not Tifa.
Mentally shaking himself of his disappointment, he had to focus to even grasp what the man was saying.
"Yeah, Tifa has been gone several hours longer then what she said she would...and I'm worried." Cloud admitted.
Glancing out the window he saw Denzel outside talking and laughing with a group of other children.
Turning back to look at the desk Cloud frowned and continued his
conversation. "A favor?"
Yuffie growled in frustration and threw her cell phone. It lucky landed on a pile of clothes that the ninja had yet to take care of and not bounced off the wall or hit the hard floor.
"Busy! His phone is always busy!" She growled in frustration.
Of course she was trying to contact Reeve. She wanted to know what was going on in the rest of the world. Well if she wasn't getting results from that phone number then she would try another.
Getting up to retrieve her phone, she entered a phone number at lightning speed and held the phone up to her ear. Cloud should answer, he was better at answering his messages then he was a few years ago.
Her ears were meet with a busy tone.
Smiling Hojo pulled his mind back and focusing his energies he felt himself pass from one plane to the next. His eyes fluttered open and gazing out through the green liquid and glass to the dusty laboratory beyond.
Letting his hand drift to the side of his tube where a control panel was stationed, he pressed a few buttons and the liquid slowly drained and the door on the tube slide opened. Pulling wires and plugs from his arms and chest, the scientist stumbled out and slide to the floor, his body weak from being suspended in an aquarium.
He aways felt this way when he returned to the body he had created before the time he faced Cloud and his gang. It wasn't till over a year ago that the body was ready and even then his spirit couldn't sustain the body for very long.
Overtime though he had been able to stay longer in this world and now he was certain he would be able to stay long enough to complete any planes his mistress had for him.
Raising to his feet, Hojo slicked back his wet hair and reaching for a lab coat that hung on the wall beside his tube he wrapped it around his form. He would dress properly later.
Hojo exited the main part of his lab, smirking to himself. One of the reasons why no one had discovered his new body was that his lab was hidden in the most obvious place...beneath the floors of his old lab in the Shinra Mansion.
Walking to a simple, double-reinforced steel door, Hojo entered the key code into the door's security pad.
His mistress would be arriving soon, her room where her new body lie just down the hall, but in the mean time he wanted to check in on his 'guest'.
The door wushed open and Hojo stepped into the room and reached for the light switch.

Reno didn't feel like complaining about this, besides mumbling curses at Rude. He'd just end up complaining about how complaining was too much work. He just went along with Tseng. When Rude was out of earshot, he began his wave of excuses.
"Ya see, bossman... Rude's lyin'. He was the one chatting 'bout her, yo. Not me. Are you kiddin'? I got it on a voice recorder, yo." He said, siftly pullin gout his voice recorder out form his pocket; which hadn't been used since Gongaga before Meteor stuck.
"Ya get my drift, bossman?"
His green eyes blinked with a desperate plea for satisfaction, which could be achieved by getting the hell out of this mess. 'I'll get Rude back for this...' went through his mind as he pulled a cheesy smile out of his bag o' tricks.

Rude continued walking about them, with a grin on his face. He then stopped suddenly and looked around. "Er..." Just then a cactuar seemed to come out of nowhere. Rude jumped back, and ooked at the freakish little monster. "What the?" He punches it in the face, and grins when it went back a few feet... then it clinged to his face and started to attack him.
He started running around, screaming. "AAAH!! AAAAHH!!!" And ended up running into a wall, squishing the cactuar, and falling down on his back.

The mental alarm within Vincent's head started to go off as he felt the damned prescense of a man named Hojo. The stench seemed to be everywhere as he continued to think about a plan to escape this hell. His nightmares began here thirty years ago and once more they were starting up and this time he wasn't sure he could survive the horrors of his own mind.
A gasp came from his lips, he heard the man come in. He was IN THE ROOM... He was strapped down like a lab rat and the man he hated the most had free reign to do what he wanted with him.
There was nothing worse in life then to know that your worst enemy can do whatever he wants to you, this was a fear in realization...
This was hell.
God at times like these he wished Cid was there to save him or something like that...
Then she tripped, falling to the ground she let out a loud yelp and soon stood up, looking around... She still couldn't see a thing but continued walking in a strait line. It was as if this place was without end and yet she could not find a single damn exit.
Closing her eyes for a moment she tried to focus her mind. And of course failed.
Her worries were on her lover, Cloud. What was he doing? Was he also in danger? Was he dead? Was she dead? She wasn't sure what the hell was going on!
...And she felt something hit her, and she fell to the ground, unconcious.
"Yes... Vincent's gone missing, I know 'big surprise' and such yet... Yet his chip is gone. I did place a chip in Vincent awhile ago to keep track of the man when he goes AWOL and no he doesn't know about it but the locations of the chip was near Niblehiem and my hands are handcuffed right now, I cannot go.
" I was going to ask you to go for me but Tifa's absense is more important, I will do everything I can to help you find her.."
"I presume you haven't checked the basement yet?" There was a time before that Tifa had gotten locked within the basement and spent a day wandering around before Cloud found her.
She wasn't happy.
But Reeve cleared his throat as he got another call, Yuffie of course, and ignored it.
Rufus was currently in a deep sleep... Evperiancing a lovely dream...
This was what he liked about sleep, dreams. They were usually pleasent for him. And of course he didn't mind waiting for anything...
Even if it was important... Like that report!
"Zzzzzzzzz" And he snored.
Tseng didn't say anything as Reno pleaded his case, in fact he knew about the tape and how old it was. There was no doubt Reno was lying and he was going to kill the redhead.
"I'm smarter than you Reno... And besides... I need you for a secret missiong anyways, someone with your idiocy is perfect for the job. That was a compliment."
He cleared his throat. "I need you to go and keep an eye on a young woman known as Yuffie Kisaragi... This is a solo mission and you shall be in Wutai for the time, you are just there to keep the woman from getting to nosy."
"Do you understand?"
Elena said not a word as she watched the scene before her unfold. Fora moment she let herself go and just laughed as hard as she could. She knew Reno was an idiot and could be funny but she never expected Rude to be like that.
Finally when everyone was settled down she walked with Rude to Rufus's bedroom...
Opening the door she was surprised at what she saw...
Rufus was asleep. And snoring.
Zack was happy, content, as he held his beloved in his arms there was nothing better than this anywhere in the universe. He was in love, and with that his happiness was boundless. Saying nothing the man went and continued to hold his beloved, his heart beating rapidly and a grin on his features. Damn he knew he was one lucky guy and would NEVER take that for granted.
Then she pushed him away, a sight heartbreak of rejection came over his form as he looked at her. Then realizing she was in pain and at her swearing he walked to her wrapping his strong arms fully around her. "Aeris, love, what is it? What do you see?" He knew that sometimes when she got something she would be in pain but still he worried over the woman immensely.
"Aeris... Please... Tell me what is wrong." Oh he knew he was going to cry if he didn't know what was ailing the woman he loved more than anything, his precious...
His love.

For a moment Aerith could only stay still, her head in her hands as she tried to push the pain away, along with sorting though what she had seen. Her green eyes at last opened as the fact that Zack had wrapped his arms around her registered in her mind. She let out a breath she had not really known she was holding in, looking up to Zack after a moment.
The half Cetra could only stand still for a moment, almost lost in his eyes as she tried to forget what she had seen, oh how she wanted to forget. She sighed softly, resting her hands on his chest as she closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder "It was her Zack....She's back already....And Hojo's with her." She said softly, knowing she could not hide the truth from her love.
She could also tell that something was wrong with Vincent, she could sense it somehow. She had been captive of that man's twisted mind for the first seven year's of her life, yet she only knew of half of the thing's that the man would do for his 'fun'. She closed her eyes and buried her head in Zack's shoulder, slipping her arms under his and wrapping them around his waist.
Jenova's spirit floated betweent he world's for a moment longer, waiting for her new body to accept her spirit. It was all rather annoying really, the whole procese it took to connect her spirit once more to the living relm. But it was well worth it....Just to even be alive for a few minute's so she could touture or kill another pathatic soul.
Everything went black before her, nothing exist for a few moment's, a simple black void as the connection was made at last.
Bright shinning red eyes shot open, her hands shot to the side's of the tube she was in and pressed hard agenst the odd glass. Long silver hair floated within the green tinted liqued, covering her naked form as she floated there. A smile came to her purple lips, her red eyes glancing down at the new body of her's. It was the most like her old one, from the curves of her hips to the twisted look of her smile. The skin was tinted blue, her nails were long and naturally black.
She bent down inside the odd tube, pressing on a few button's much like Hojo had done in his, the liquid drained out and a door opened up before her. She stood up on her new leg's, weak at first but growing stronger by the second. She carfully made her way down the step's, green liquid falling from her hair and her bare body. She lifted up a long black dress, holding it up before her for a moment as she looked over it, it would do. She slipped it over her still wet form, closing her eyes and ringing out her hair somewhat as she stood there.
Jenova turned and glanced in a mirror that rested in the room, smiling at the sight before her. The black dressed clung to her body very well, the slit in the front of the dress showed off her new body rather well in her mind. She turned quickly on her feet and left the room, her bare feet making no noise on the ground as she went. "Professer Hojo...." She said softly as she walked up behind her, her voice soft and chilling.
Cid cursed sligthly as he looked around the small tone of Nibelhiem, lighting up another cigurett as he walked alone though the street's. God how he hated this town....Every little thing about it he hated. His stormy blue eyes landed on the old Shinra Manor, wondering for a moment if Vincent by chance was there. They had only checked the old place once before, and even then it wasn't a very good searche. The place gave everybody the creep's.
A soft sigh slipped though his lips, a small puff of smoke floating free also as he slowly made his way up towards the mansion.

Cloud felt like hitting his head against the wall...but he didn't want to alarm the man on the other side of the line with a loud thud. As if happen, he had wandered back down stairs as he and Reeve 'talked'.
The blond felt his eyes drift over to the basement door as heard Reeve clear his throat. Should he tell Reeve the truth or should he...
"Of course I checked the basement." He lied as he walked over to the basement door and opened it. Lowering the phone, Cloud pressed his hand over the receiver before calling down the steps.
"Tifa? Are you down there?" and bring the phone back up to his ear, he recalled what Reeve had been saying. "Niblehiem...?" he was about to continue when he heard a blip, indicating someone else was trying to call him. Cloud hesitated, but decided to answer it. "Hold on Reeve, got another call."
And he switched over to the other line. "Hello?"...
"Hello?"
Cloud's voice from the receiver. Yuffie squealed in delight. "Cloud-kun! It's me Yuffie! How are you? I'm doing good!" There was silents for a moments and then
"Fine. Yuffie, I'm a little...Have you heard from Tifa...or Vincent?"
Yuffie snorted. "Vincent always ignores my calls, the meanie. But...oh let's me think. I heard from Tifa the other day. Why?" There was silence and then.
"Vincent's gone missing and I haven't heard from Tifa in over a day. listen, I have another call. I'll try to call you back..."
Then the line went dead. The ninja stared at her phone. "Wha!" Cloud? Hey! Talk to me." But of course there was no one there.
Hojo felt a smirk play across his as he walked slowly across the room to stand beside the table.
"Hello, Specimen." he voice, just above a whisper. His smirk turned into a small grin as a giddy feeling surface in the his gut as he saw the look in the helpless man's eyes before him.
Turning his back on the man, the scientist consulted some monitoring equipment when he heard a voice behind him. "Professor Hojo..." Hojo turned and bowed his head. "Jenova, it's good to see you among the living. You're looking lovely, as usual."

Reno nodded, about to turn around before he noticed two things. Turning back to Tseng, he looked kind of angry. "Hey! What's that supposed to mean?! I'm not that stupid..." He muttered the last part under his breath, looking back and forth to avert eye contact.
He then looked back up to finally meet eyes with his strict boss. "And keep the chick from getting nosy from what?"
His eyes shone with curiousity, as he looked at his superior and awaited an asnwer for the details of this 'mission'. Hey, Reno knows he hates doing these things... But he does what he has to when it comes to situations such as jobs and missions. The only reason he does this?
Booze money.
