"Hey, aren't you the guy who handed my a** to me last night?" Reno asked the young man in the brown coat. He shook hands. "Call me Reno. Let's do this right... I want the planet to survive at least long enough for us to have a rematch."
Reno climbed into the passenger's seat and buckled up. "Nikky, you okay back there?" He could imagine she was fairly squished with all the other people in the back seat. You couldn't pay me to sit back there... "OK, gun it, Rude!"
Rude adjusted the mirror and hit the gas.
Ami, compacted between Nikky and Squall, was having a hard time trying to mentally prepare herself for what was to come. She was too busy being squished. What are we going to do when we get there?
I suppose we just have to find out. Ugh, I hate improv.
After a few crushing moments, they arrived at the mouth of the mine. Reno, of course, immediately began complaining about the effect of the gravel road on the car's paint job...

" Um... Yeah that was me," Squall answered nervously, " Sorry..." Squall looked over at Ami and smiled, his fault! he was poking you with a bloody cattle prod! Squall put his hand on her knee and gave it a little squeeze, You ready? Ouch! this in uncomfortable! Squall looked at the person on his other side, Havent seen you before?... What you got in your pocked thats so sharp?! * Car grinds to a halt* " Nevermind" Squall scrambled out after Ami and looked at the entrance to the mine... " This is the place guys! Dont go in if your not ready for the worst..." That wasnt very uplifting... " If we all stick together though..." Squall took Ami by the hand, then rubbed Renos head with the other... * laughs* " Im not very good at this..."

~~Mythrill Mines~~
A flaming gateway opened before the entrance to the mines. Out of the gateway stepped the fiery image of Sephiroth, looking around with that impenetrable air of superiority. He paused, sensing for the source of power, then locked on to the mines. He strode forward purosefully, the gateway behind him slamming shut with an echo.
The light of his fire seared the interior of the dank mines, causing a few of the creatures to hiss and scatter in irritation. One of the larger ones shrieked hideously and charged, but Sephiroth simply drew the flaming Masamune and beheaded it in a swift stroke. The head rolled to a stop behind him as he continued unabated, still glowing at the slice with the heat of a thousand suns.
Winged batlike creatures fluttered to life at his approach, screeching and flapping down to him, teeth bared. Sephiroth leapt into action, expertly wielding the Masamune, maiming the rabid creatures before they could get close enough to bite. The enormous swarm grew as the sounds woke more winged beasts, surrounding him, slowing his progress...

It had been a long couple of days for Vince, someone has been on his tail and he had been forced to keep moving. He had finally found an old cave system, he wasnt entirely sure where it was but it seemed to be some sort of disused mine or something. He hadnt slept to well, the floor was cold and damp, and the endless tunnels made the creepiest of noises. He was in the middle was an odd dream when a noise towards the entrance of the cave suddenly woke him with a start.
(haha sorry its random guys, but i felt like joining in! Ill take a back seat on this one as you guys clearly know what your doing!)

((Just so you know, if the monsters hadn't already killed you, there's a cult of Jenova weirdoes hidey-holing out back in one of the back chambers... Good thing you didn't come across them, eh?))

(Yeah I know, Vince didnt know they were there and slipped in to sleep, he wasnt being loud and very luckily didnt get eaten and managed to get some sleep blissfully unaware he was extremely close to death!)

Reno swatted Squall away from his head. "Yo! Hey, cut that out! You already caused enough damage up there."
Ami looked at Squall's hand in hers. Her heart skipped a beat... What if I'm dragging all my friends in here to die?
She grabbed Squall in fierce embrace. "I won't let them hurt you," she swore through gritted teeth.
Reno took a step back. "Whoa..."
Ami looked back at the caverns and took the first step inside, still clutching Squall's hand.
Ready or not, here I come...
Reno sighed. Why doesn't stuff like that EVER happen to me? He started following Amnesty, with Rude closely behind. Wonder if Nikky's coming... just as well if she isn't. This Sephiroth guy isn't one to introduce to tagalongs.

Sephiroth was growing slightly bored with these creatures- the ground was splattered with their remains and they just kept coming. There seemed to be no end to them, and they were as stubborn as a hive of bees about continually flying headlong into him, not heeding the obvious mistake that was.
Sephiroth nimbly leapt onto a rock out of the pile of rubbish growing on the cave floor. Suddenly, their screeches became more frantic, and they seemed to vanish into the shadows. Sephiroth paused for a moment, knowing this was not a good sign. He leapt down from the rock and continued into the cave-
Then dropped to the ground as an enormous mouth nearly snatched his head off! He looked up at the scaly reptilian mouth as it drew away slowly with a creaking groan, its eyes burning red with fire...
It was clearly the monster which ruled this cave.
"Not for long," Sephiroth thought with a smirk as he leapt onto its spiny back, lunging for its neck...

Squall followed, a tingly feeling inside. Ive got your back too.... Haha I poked the bump on Renos head! Squall followed close behind Ami, he didnt fully understand everything that was happening, but she was far more involved than he was. *Takes out gunblade* Weve done good thus far... *kisses gunblade then nearly pukes as he remembers the Geostigma goo that was on it a few days back*

Vince pulled himself up off the floor quickly. This cave wasnt as empty as he seemed to think it was, his feet slapped on the stone floor as he ran in the direction he thought he came and he stopped suddenly when he came flying round a corner only to see a group of serious faced people looking at him with dark looks. A red haired man, a man with a scar, and some others. Vince didnt know what to do!

Ami closed her eyes and tried to let herself flow into this place.
Reno twitched. "Huh?"
She felt the Template not far ahead-- fighting a huge dragon. Ami's stomach tightened. If that thing chomps him, he goes back to wherever he came from, and it's only a matter of time before he comes back... so basically, I find myself having to go find and kill this guy, but I can't let anybody else do it... Why NOT anybody else? It's not like I know how to keep a person from going back into the Lifestream...
Reno shook his head. He kept feeling something weird, like an itch in his brain. Rude eyed him. "How you holding up, partner?"
Rno shrugged. "I'm cool." The itch went away, anyhow.
Ami thought for a minute. Might the splicer be able to work in reverse? Could it tear apart genetic identities instead of blending them? Maybe... that just might work... But first I have to find him, beat him, and then find the splicer... I'm gonna be sick.

Reno gave the guy who suddenly ran into them a hard look, and brought his EMR a fraction of an inch from colliding with the guy's head. "Hey, what's the story, Wishbone?"

"Dont worry, itll work out..." Squall said out of the blue, seemingly developing a little Ami psychic skill of his own. " Someones coming!" Squall stretched out his arm and poked the end of his gunblade on the mans nose... *looks him up and down* " You dont like like an 'almighty template'?... Who are you?"

'nuts' Vince muttered, he had quite thought he was going to be beaten up. The fact he hadnt been instantly told him these werent anything to do with his persuer. He breathed a sigh of relief.
'The names Vince. I was crashing in here, I was just leaving though, there are some seriously odd sounds coming from this cave. . . . . . .' Vince stopped for a second, these people were heading in. 'What you doing here?' he asked.
