The moon over Midgar shone bright upon the thrice ruined city. Nothing moved for miles...
In this eerie quiet a man sat, watching the stars upon a cliff that over looked the once great city.
The land around the city was just as dark and just as quiet...it seemed even after everything that had occurred...some creatures still did not venture there.
The man sighed and looked around for a moment, he was a bit bored and was up for more walking at this point since sitting here was getting him no where "Reeve...what did he expect me to see?" His deep voice filled the silence for a moment before it was swallowed by the darkness around him.
he looked towards the East...and then the west.
Nothing odd was going on, not yet at least. He sighed again and shifted a bit, He was told to wait...so wait he shall.
But Reeve would hear about it later.
~
The sharp sound of boots smacking a street paved by stones rang through the dark city streets, followed by the angry shouts of men and the smell of torches burning...
A young woman, maybe in her early twenties or late teens slipped and slid across an expanse of road as she tried her best to outrun the men hunting her.
She surged to her feet after losing her running momentum and cried out as her ankle wrenched painfully.
her body pitched forward and the only thought in her mind was ::I don't want to die here.::
Her head hit the pavement with enough force to make her vision go black, a wave of nausea from the pain swept through her and it took all her will power not to vomit.
~
The man atop the cliff sighed and stood to stretch his legs, He was intent on giving Reeve a 'what for' if he was going to be out here for nothing...
But a shimmering light stopped that train of thought and grabbed the crimson eyed mans complete and utter attention.
"Hm...?"
he turned fully towards the direction of the light, a bit towards the east of Midgar.
He watched...and waited.
~
When she lifted her head there were crudely made fire arms pointed at her, her attempt to scoot away only resulted in her nearly vomiting again, her vision swimming with black spots.
One man sneered, his face smudged with soot from carrying a torch
"You're good as dead Heathen."
the woman's red-gold eyes widened considerably "No...not here..." she rested her hands against the ground, her head hanging in utter defeat as she tried her best to call whatever forces would answer her diluted half-blood magic ::Help me...please...::
She was surprised when she felt someone answer...
[You sound so sad...how can I help?]
the voice was sweet and reassuring...It filled her heart with hope.
~
The glowing intensified and he watched, unmoving, as his eyes focused on the light "What...is going on?"
~
She didn't hesitate with her answer as the guns clicked one by one as they were cocked, ready to fire.
::Take me away from here....I want to live...please....::
The voice giggled, it echoed through her mind like soft, sweet bells
[Alright then...]
A bright green light enveloped her just as the guns fired..
the voice cried out softly and she thought she felt hands pulling her away from the place where they hated her so...
[Welcome home...Lia.]
~
The light became unbearably bright and he was forced to look away for fear of it hurting his eyes...
Surprise filled him as a soft feminine voice bubbled up into his mind
[Take care of her Vincent...she's in your hands now.]
just as the voice left him, three shafts of green light shot into the sky for a moment, shimmering there until the bright light vanished altogether, leaving a soft glow on the ground where it had been.
Vincent didn't hesitate to leap from his spot and head down the side of the cliff, intent on figuring out what had just occurred here.
"That voice..." he didn't really have time to think about it seeing as he was at the bottom of the cliff before he knew it.
he strode forward till he was within the circle of the afterglow.
A girl lay in the center of it, her long flowing black hair falling around her lithe body...he looked closer and noticed she was bleeding...bleeding enough to have a small pool of blood around her.
he took a few more long legged steps and knelt beside her, checking the seriousness of her wounds...
Three bullet wounds, a graze along her temple, one in her shoulder and a another in her right arm...
he rested two gloved fingers against her arm wound which was still bleeding and put pressure on it as he lifted her gently till she rested against him.
With his now free hand he reached for his phone, dialed out and held it against his ear....
It rang three times before stopping...
"Vincent..." Although it was late, the man didn't seem to have been sleeping.
"Cloud, I'm in the east outskirts of Midgar." Vincent looked down at the woman, her face pale, her skin cold...
"Something happen?" Cloud made no change in his voice..not to normal people anyhow. But Vincent heard the underlying worry in his friends words.
"A woman...she's wounded, still bleeding." He had always been blunt and straight to the point...but right now was not a time for small talk...
"I'll be there shortly." Before the call ended, Vincent swore he heard the start of an engine...
Vincent could do nothing but wait now...he took her and pulled her closer to him, wrapping a bit of his cape around her to keep her warm.

That same night, two darkly dressed figures walked into the abandoned Shinra Manor in Nibelhiem to do a little 'research' on behalf of their boss, Rufus Shinra.
They had searched her many times before, never finding anything they hadn't already found before...it was a bit tedious.
They were 'Turks' after all, fighting was much more fun.
"I hate snooping around this creepy place!" The red haired man shuddered and moved a few boxes out of the way as they made their way to the lower levels of the manor like they had so many times before...
"Reno, your loud."The taller of the two spoke, looking over at his red haired partner with disdain.
"So!? I hate this damn place!"He continued his ranting, ignoring his partner, which only caused the taller man to grumble.
"Careful, Or you'll wake the dead."
that shut Reno up no problem and Rude could finally let his ears rest from his loud shouting.
After making their way down the stair well they ventured into the laboratory once used by Dr.Hojo and Dr. Lucrezia.
They snooped there for a bit, finding nothing new, they moved on towards the basement...
Reno cringed as they opened the door and walked into the room Reno hated the most...
the room full of coffins.
They walked into the room, searching for anything unusual.
Reno made a face as a cobweb stuck to him "Do we REAAALY have to be in here Rude? Its...creepy."
Rude shrugged "Boss said check everywhere."
Reno sighed and walked to the other end of the room...though he didn't make it there unscathed.
he tripped, over a coffin lid and slammed into the wall....
The wall shattered and a cloud of dust flew up, blinding the two of them.
Reno coughed from his place on the ground, half way through the wall "I think I found something!"
Rude grumbled and coughed "Moron." the dust was beginning to settle...

The room that the intrepid Reno had 'discovered' by new and depatable techniques was dim and the light from the main room spilled in to cast long shadows. As the two Turks' eyes adjusted they would be able to dicern a collection of blinking lights, though it seemed that most of the machinery in the room was in disrepair and over the years was either destoryed or fried without matainance.
The room was small as labs went, probably another reason why it had not been discovered, stairs led down into an even lower floor level. A collection of large person-sized tubes lined the walls; most were empty or broken, a few seemed to have contained some kind of organic matter at the time they malfunctioned and there were withered remains in the botoms. One that was still whole was filled with a completely opaque fluid with a pattern of something stuck to the glass from the inside, it looked like some kind of fungus.
At the back of the room, where the majority of the still-functional equiptment was located, was a blocky containment unit that looked as though it contained one of the tubes with a cap. Some monitors still had their displays, running numbers and on-going diagrams that would be informational to someone who actually knew how to desipher what was being shown. The containment unit had many hoses, cords, and hook-ups running from various places in the room to connect into it.
Whatever was in that unit, appeared to have been successfully preserved even past the creator's demise. And if it had been so hidden away, even in the base of operations, it might just be somethign good.

Rude walked over to his partner and hauled him out of the rocky rubble, standing him up on his feet before venturing forward into the newly discovered room.
Reno dusted himself off a bit and headed on in as well, glad to be farther away from the coffins "Wow...there's some really old stuff in here..." he wandered by the broken tubes, poked the one with the nasty looking fungus and then moved on towards what seemed more interesting to him at the moment....
The containment Unit.
Rude was already looking at it of course, and Reno decided to finally wander over, looking at it himself.
Both Turks looked at each other and shrugged, Rude set about looking for any document's and whatnot, neither of them knew anything about what would be on the computer so they would have someone who did come down here to check it out for them.
Reno inspected the containment unit, poking around and messing with a few things here and there...then he found a switch...a green switch "Huh..I wonder what this does...." he said quietly to himself as he flipped it....
~
Vincent continued to cradle the girl against him and was secretly relieved to see the glare of a headlight and the tell tale sound of Fenrir's motor humming...
within a few moments, Cloud pulled up alongside them on his bike, the blue black metal shining under the light of the moon.
Cloud turned off the bike and raised his riding goggles, looking over at Vincent before removing himself from the bike. Cloud walked over to Vincent and the girl, kneeling for a moment so he was at their level "How bad?" he asked, looking to Vincent to either tell him, or show him.
Vincent deftly removed his cape from her thin body, allowing Cloud to see the extent of her injuries for a minute before covering her back up and lifting her up into his arms as he stood. There were large drips of blood on the ground where Vincent had been holding her....
Cloud eyed the blood in the dirt and grimaced a bit, he walked back over to his bike, put his goggle back on and waved a hand at Vincent "Tifa is up and waiting, lets get going." he mounted the bike,starting it and revving the motor for a moment as he looked over at Vincent, his blue eyes studying his friend through the dark goggles.
Vincent walked over and got on the bike, holding the girl between his chest and Cloud's back...
::At least she will be warmer this way:: He thought as he secured her between them, he gave Cloud a curt nod and they were off into the night...back towards Edge...Both hoped the girl would survive from the blood loss.

For a few moments it seemed that the green switch had done nothing, but a low hum that had been almost unnoticable before began to pick up in pitch and volume. Some of the lights around the room began to flicker or glow more brightly, a few of the auxillory systems were snuffed out entirely as the remaining power was funneled into the activated system.
Pipes and hoses started to be disconnected in various little blasts, some malfunctioned and either didn't not come off at all or busted the hose that started spraying liquid until the pressure was lost. Where the liquid splattered instantly froze and even cracked if there was enough of the cryo-genic fluid. Whatever was inside had been preserved using refrigeration among other techniques.
The containment unit was prepping for something. Clouds of moisture hissed out as the unit split in several places and vented super-cooled air, the pieces drew futher away on hydrolics and a** the foggy mist cleared there was a smaller unit that the large one had been housing. It was frosted over and had a monitoring screen of its own built right in. This appeared to be a very large suitcase in shape and with handles on either side for two people to share the weight of carrying it.
The other systems around the room began to flicker and die, apparently the last of the energy reserves had been to the point of complete depletion to carry out this last task. But it seemed that whatever the containment unit housed was still in perfect condition, quite a find.

Lucky the pipes that had burst from the cooling fluid didn't hit the Turks; that would have been painful otherwise. they waved the foggy mist away as they heard more things hiss and wheeze, the power went out around them and all noise ceased...
Reno and Rude stared incredulously at the 'thing' that had been sealed inside the unit, and without asking Rude first, Reno reached in and undid the latches,
"Reno- Wait-" it was too late for Rude to intervene as Reno gave him a sheepish grin "Oops...sorry..I guess I got a little...carried away."
Rude sighed and slapped his hand against his face "Idiot."
Reno shrugged "Whats the worse that could happen?" and he moved to release the remainder of the latches..slowly lifting off the lid-
"Holy crap!"
"..."
~
Cloud drove dangerously fast, not that Vincent minded all that much; the quicker they helped the girl, the more likeliness that she would survive from her blood loss.
Both men never spoke as they finally came into Edge, the streets were empty, the sparse lights their only company as Cloud weaved through the sleeping city.
They finally came to the Bar, Cloud drove around to the backside, parking his bike and lifting his goggles "Take her in to Tifa."
The Gunslinger gave a nod and didn't hesitate as he lifted her into his arms again as he made his way into the bar...
Cloud followed after him, locking the door behind them and walked past Vincent "Tifa, we're here." he waved Vincent into the front portion of the bar, where Tifa waited, sitting next to a spare futon on the floor "Set her down here Vincent."
Vincent made no sound as he crossed the room, his movements smooth as he gently rested the strange woman on the soft pallet.
She let out a small moan, but did not stir.
Tifa looked her over "...these are bullet wounds! What happened to her?" she voiced softly as she continued her search for more injuries "Looks like she slammed her head pretty good as well and wrenched her ankle...probably a sprain." the woman sighed and looked at Vincent "I need you to take care of the bullet wounds while I wrap her ankle, Can you do that?"
Vincent nodded and moved closer to the girl, lifting her top half into his lap, her hair spilling like ebony water over he long legs, he wished to stay closer to her in case she decided to wake up; that way he could hold her down better.
The swordsman sat down on a bar stool and watched "Do you need me for anything Tifa?" he disliked being unable to help- it was in his nature after all to want to help others...not that he would ever say that; He just really hated being useless.
The brown haired martial artist turned her wine colored eyes to Cloud and smiled "You can bring me a couple of ice packs from the freezer, I need to get the swelling on her ankle down."
The blond complied and brought the aforementioned Ice packs "Give one to Vincent for her head." Tifa commanded as she took one ice pack, lowering it gently to the womans ankle.
Cloud handed Vincent the ice pack, teh gunslinger accepted it with his now bloodied clawed hand "Vincent...why-" Cloud had no chance to finish when Vincent held up a pair of bullets "I removed them."
the blond took the pair of bullets from him, holding them in his gloved hand. he turned his bright azure eyes to Vincents crimson ones.
"With your claw."
"..." Vincent ignored the statement and placed the ice pack against the girls head, eliciting another pained moan from her lips; her eyelids flickered, but again, she didn't wake.
Cloud shrugged, he would never understand the Enigma that was Vincent Valentine... But he didn't really have to, Vincent was Vincent. And no matter what had occurred in the gunslingers past, Vincent was his friend and comrade in arms. Cloud looked over at Tifa "I'm going to go check on Denzel and Marle-" there was a sharp rap on the front door and Cloud sighed "I guess I'm not." he made his way to the front door and cracked it open "Oh...it's just you." he opened it all the way to let in a rather peeved Ninja
"Geez Cloud, you can at least say 'Hey Yuffie! What a pleasure to see you!' " She huffed indignantly, shooting Cloud a glare.
Cloud merely shrugged "It's late, what are you doing here?" he easily ignored Yuffie's words, which only pissed her off more.
"Ooh spikey I'm gonna kick you where the sun don't-"
"Yuffie, hush." Vincent's voice cut in and Yuffie flushed, embarrassed. She turned her gray eyes to the Gunslinger and bit back a gasp "Wooah, who's she??"
The girl, who's head was cradled in Vincents lap was olive skinned, it complimented her dark hair that seemed to spill everywhere and Yuffie blushed "She's...pretty!" she muttered and took the few steps towards them, closing the distance and knelt beside Vincent "Where did you find her?"
Vincent looked at the young Ninja girl "Outside of Midgar."
"Oh hey! Thats why I'm here!-" she hissed softly and clamped a hand over her mouth "oops..too loud...sorry." her words were a bit muffled as she sat on her rump and looked at her three friends, she removed her hand "Anyways-" she continued far more quietly this time "- there was this uber weird light that came from near there...Reeve freaked out and asked me to head here to see if Vincent had shown up." she grinned at them all and then turned to Vincent "Do you know anything about the light?"
Vincent gave a slight nod, his hair falling in his face as he looked down at the girl in his arms "I was there. This girl appeared after the light vanished." he let his words hang in the air, feeling, rather than seeing his companions surprise at his words.
The four of them looked at the girl with new interest now...
where had she come from? And...why was she here?
(I need to fix this sometime when I'm not brain dead...<.<;; lol)

Holy Crap indeed, for what was sealed inside the unit so carefully was not what one would expect, oh no. Curled up in fetal position inside this mechanical frozen womb was a person, young woman by the stature and curves visible. There were a myriad of little sensors placed on vital places around her body, all feeding into the edges of this last unit. Once the final unit had been so carelessly breached by Reno the remainder of the preservatives flowed out like a thin gel that spread out on the floor.
The more the stuff leaked out the more visible this being was, her light green skin and long smooth head vines of a soft blue color were perhaps even more shocking than her presence in the first place. There was another status screen on the underside of the lid, it seemed unactive until a small little blip traveled across it. After a few moments, there came another. This seemed insignificant, until slowly but surely they came in greater frequency and began to resemble a heartbeat.
The girl was beginning to revive.

Reno and Rude stared stupidly at the green skinned girl for a few moments before Reno grinned "Hey I can see her-"
Rude clocked him and threw his jacket over the girl, hiding her soft curves from Reno's prying eyes.
Reno whimpered and rubbed his head "That Hurrrt." he threw a glare Rudes way, but the quiet man didn't respond.
His partner also didn't bother replying to his statement of pain, since the punch to the head was supposed to hurt.
"We need to get her out of here...."
"Lets call Tifa!!" Reno put in and received another punch to the noggin
"What was that for!?"The red head clutched his abused cranium and pouted as best he could.
"You just want booze" Rude told him, glaring over at him, why was he always so irresponsible for?
"...." He just made a face and ignored the statement because it was true and they both knew it.
"But maybe your right."Rude sighed and didn't look at Reno, he knew the smug expression of victory was there...
Reno brightened immediately and grinned, both men watched to see if she would wake before they took her out of the chamber...they didn't need this strange girl freaking out hurting herself or them.
~
Yuffie sighed heavily, not a normal thing for her to do since she was always so perky and bubbly "Well crap...We need to tell Reeve what happened...but it's so late already." he rested her head on her arms, looking over at the girl that still lay in Vincents lap, she then turned her gray eyes to the ever silent Vincent Valentine, then back at the girl...
Cloud and Tifa had headed upstairs to check on Marlene and Denzel, both had told Vincent and Yuffie that there was a spare room upstairs and a couch in the small sitting area to the left of the bar. They had all done what they could for the girl and since it was so late, there wasn't anything else they could do till the next day.
So now it was just Vincent and Yuffie, watching the strange girl in silence.
The girl let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes...
Yuffie gasped in surprise when the girl sat up, leaping away from Vincent with such speed despite being injured- she held a dagger threateningly towards the two of them.
Vincent stared at her in disbelief, the girl probably had a concussion, a severely sprained ankle and two bandaged wounds... and here she was jumping around like nothing happened-
She stumbled and he darted forward as she fell, her injuries getting the best of her; She landed safely in his arms while Yuffie took the deadly weapon away from her, for their safety of course.
The girl cringed and whimpered "Don't hurt me...please-"
"I would not hurt someone I saved." Vincent countered, gaining a startled gasp from the woman, he helped her sit up with Yuffie's help and they both took her back to the futon.
She leaned against Yuffie as Vincent re wrapped her bandages that she had caused to become soaked with blood from her sudden sharp movements. Yuffie smiled over at the girl "You move pretty fast for someone who's hurt, where did ya come from?"
The girl looked at Yuffie, her eyes a beautifully haunted swirl of gold and red "A hell not worth speaking of."
The ninja stared at her, a bit startled by the response "Wow...you sound like Vincent over there." she said, pointing at the red cloaked gunman as he put away the gauze and other such first aid items "He doesn't talk much but he's a good guy, I promise." Yuffie said with a smile on her face.
"A...good...man?" the woman turned her strange eyes to this...Vincent Valentine and he met her gaze, neither faltered or looked away "....I see no evil in you. I agree with the happy one...your are a good man." Yuffie smiled softly and Vincent stared at her, No evil?
She did not sense the remaining devil's in his body?
Vincent thought back on the girls voice...it was soft, melodious. Like church bells, soothing and pleasant to the ears.
She sounded like Aeris.
Vincent sighed and made his way to the two of them, crouching down before the woman he had saved "What is your name?"
The woman again, met his eyes, not flinching away as most would have. She smiled softly and he could almost feel a blush stain his cheeks at the sweet kindness in the gesture.
"My name is Elianora....but you may call me Lia."

The gel continued to drain away, as it was designed to, and the girl was left slightly glistening and fortuitously covered by Rude's suit jacket. There was more appearing on the status screen, in addition to the heartbeat there was a moving line chart graphing her brainwave patterns, they had been almost nothing while in the forced hibernation but now they were progressing to and past REM.
Her sleep-like state of mind was also desintegrating, the system was apparently designed to activate a full awakening of the being inside. Even so, after a minute or two of stable vitals and consistent readings on the status screen she appeared to be continuing just in sleep. But the program would not have it, there was a series of beeps then a high-pitched whine as a charge was built up. The girl was jolted by a non-fatal but by no means mild electrical shock.
Gasping she was frightened, as could be expected. The gel still-present made her efforts to sit up difficult, slippery as it was it also splashed about. Not to mention that the electrical shock made her muscles a bit hard to handle, and lets not even add in the complications that must have been present for long-term suspended animation via the use of refrigeration and who knows what other kinds of chemicals.
The readings on the status screen jumped and blipped to mimic her distress, both physical and mental. Her eyes were a bright and shocking orange, they were wide as she tried to look around. But as it was she had not regained her vision, so she closed them and huddled with her arms around her knees and panting as she shivered. Rude's jacket had fallen off her during her little episode.

Both Turks had jumped back during her little 'freak out', watching her and waiting till she was still enough for them to approach. Rude approached with caution and picked up his jacket from the floor.
Reno approached her as well "Hey there...we're going to get you out of here and put you somewhere nice and warm all right?"
He motioned for Rude to drape the jacket over her, his partner complied, gently placing the jacket over her shivering shoulders.
(I'm leaving out Vincents and Lia's post for now...i need to write it out on paper before I post...it seems to turn out better that way.)

(FINALLY! I out-posted you! *dance*)
There had been a quiet whine coming from her until she heard Reno's voice, her head snapped up and she flinched as the jacket was settled back down over her shoulders. She seemed to expect the worst, hugging her knees even more tightly.
On another of the consoles the screen lit up and there were recorded files, apparently all in relation to this girl. They were labeled with abbriviations that would not make sense to the casual observer, and they were allso all located on the disk currently inside the consol's reader.

(*makes a face* yeah just wait till i get back to Lia! lol)
Reno tapped the screen after he saw it start blinking "Eh?" he looked around and say the disk drive light blinking "Hmmm..." he pushed a button and a red disk popped out "Oh! hey! We can bring this to Shelke!" he stated, smiling at his cleverness and turned away from the consol and back towards the green skinned woman "Hey, lets get you out of there, I think we've got some extra clothes in the shadow cat." He looked at Rude, who nodded and moved forward "I'm going to pick you up now." he told her as he lifted her deftly into his arms, nodded at Reno and both began to make their way from the room....

She blinked, things were dark enough in the room that she was unable to see anything other than the swimming darkness of her own vision. The cryosuspension robbed her of her sigh until she was fully thawed. Shivering she gasped and tried to pull away from Rude, but she was greatly weakened and he easily scooped her up.
"Nnnh..." It was unclear if she could even speak at this point. But she was too tired to keep struggling, and perhaps more importantly Rude was very warm to her chilled persepctive. She leaned into him, one hand clinging to the jacket and concequiensly keeping it from sliding off again. There was still risidual slime, it stuck to Rude's front and dripped down. It seems that they would both need to retrieve new clothes.

Rude made a face at the feel of the slime against his skin as it soaked through his clothing but walked on after Reno. They picked a path over the fallen wall and out of the basement of the Shinra manor...
The girl was freezing, Rude hoped she would warm up a little, she kept shaking against him.
Reno kicked a couple crates out of the way as they made their way out of the Mansion now....
~
Lia sat in her new clothing now since her others were ruined and bloody.
Yuffie had retrieved an old pair of her shorts, which fit Lia no problem and an old Sweater she 'borrowed' from the spare rooms closet.
The sweater was large and orange, it hung off of Lia
s shoulders, it was only held up by two straps on her shoulders.
Lia turned her gaze to The ninja girl, who was smiling in her normal bubbly way."You look much better now."
Vincent sat beside her, brushing out her hair in silence. His clawed hand held up the portion of hair he was brushing while his good hand ran the bristles through, taking out the knots and making it shine.
Yuffie had forced Lia into the downstairs shower and helped her wash the dirt and blood from her body, Yuffie didn't mention the scars on Lia's back to Vincent...they looked awful and made her want to punch whoever had done that to her.
Lia looked over at Vincent and then back to Yuffie, watching them before closing her eyes and deciding to enjoy the moments peace...

The girl continued to shiver in little bursts, but she was too tired to shiver constantly. Her eyes half opened as they left the building, noises were not bouncing back as she was used to, there was a lack of the closed-in feeling. As a breeze passed over her wet skin, further chilling her. She seemed to be frightened again. What was this? She still could not see, though she was beginning to get impressions of light and dark.
"Mmhf..." She hid her face against Rude's shoulder, kind of curling up while being carried and shivering again.
