Rude couldn't suppress a grin as he returned to his feet. "See ya in the morning." He delivered a powerful kick to Vi's head. If that doesn't knock her out, nothing will...
"Hey."
Rude turned instinctively-- and realized too late that was a mistake. The blunt end of Ami's acid pistol was the last thing he saw before the lights went out. "Take that, baldy."
Ami turned and grinned at Squall as Rude dropped like a brick... until she heard Vieve murmuring something as she lost consciousness... "What--?"

"Rude... I remember you... you were..."
Vieve passed out into lala land.
*twitch*

" nicely done!" take that baldy... its cute? Squall felt kinda warm inside as she grinned at him, but then her face dropped as she tuned to face Vieve, " What is it?" Squall ran over to where Ami was standing, not noticing a crack in one of the tubes from a stray bullet

((Squall, give us a second to do some exposition work before setting any of the clones loose, all right?))
"You knew him?" Ami tried to shake Vi awake again, but she was out cold. She looked slowly back at Squall. "Squall... I may have to take a Plunge." She put a hand on VI's forehead and knelt next to her. "I can get inside her mind to find out what she knows... but it's dangerous. I need you to stay out here and cover me... and be ready to help me find the way back if I'm in there too long." She took his hand and looked into his eyes, trying to impress the seriousness of this on him.

(( Yeah sure ))
Squall stared into her eyes and searched her thoughts, he was no psychic but he knew what she was trying to get across. He gave a mere nod. No pressure Squall... "I got you" He winked at her and gave her hand a squeeze, " Do your thing"

Ami smiled weakly. Better do this before I lose my nerve.
She tightened her grip on Squall's hand reassuringly. "Just in case I don't make it..." She gave him a fully charged kiss on the lips, enough to remember her by if she never returned.
"I'll be right back."
Her hand on Vi's head began to glow, and energy started flowing from her hand into Vi's head. She felt the whole world slipping away...
She found herself in a darkened hall. She walked cautiously along the dank corridor, hearing screams, moans, faint voices trying to reach her...
There was a door open at the end of the hall. She ducked inside to try getting her bearings... and there lay Vi, no older than seven. How does a child wind up in such a place?
Her "sister" lay there, paralyzed, and suddenly the murmur of voices rose...

Wowzers! Squall kisser her back and for a moment everything around him was gone, he watched her almost in a daydream as she squatted down next to Vieve, light rushed down her arm into Vieve and suddenly she slumped down to the ground, her hand seeming stuck on Vieves head, " Ami? Ami!?" *sighs* Shes gone?... How do I know when shes in trouble, how long is too long? Squall squeezed her hand, and looked longingly at her face, Dont you dare leave me now...
*chink*
Squalls eyed flicked up to the tubes, they all looked as they had before, but something was different. The air was closer and colder... They were watching him
(( OMG I GOT GOOSEBUMPS WRITING THAT!))

Vieve was caught in a memory- one of her worst. She had been given anesthetics, but they only paralyzed her. She was still concious as the doctors conferred about her in echoing, swirling voices...
"Subject suffers delusions, schizophrenia, paranoia... Exhibits antisocial and homocidal tendencies... ....extremely dangerous. Unpredictable... ...obsession with fire..."
Her eyes flashed open at the sight of a doctor approaching her with a syringe.
The memory morphed into earlier years. Ami was caught inside one of the experimentation capsules with a four year old Vi, looking out the window. Vi was kicking and screaming at the door in full fledged panic.
Doctors hovered outside, looking nonchalantly into the capsule. "We knew it was dangerous to experiment with that part of the template, but who knew she would take so badly to stasis?"

Ami gasped for air instinctively. My G**... It's just a memory. It isn't real. She looked at Vi, who was obviously caught in an absolute panic. "What part of the template? What are you? What else do you remember?"

Squall sat motionless looking between the tubes, his guts churned. OMG this is scary... hurry up Ami. *looks over at the two girls* Vieves face was twitching as if in pain and Ami was in a cold sweat. What do I do?... Squall looked back up towards the tubes and his heart almost stopped, one of them had opened its eyes, it looked straight at him. Dont just sit there! MOVE! Squall was rooted to the spot, " Ami... I... I could really use your company right now... just a smile?"
*Crash!*
Squall looked up again, the tube was in pieces, a tall muscular figure picked itself up off the floor and moved ever so slowly towards Squall. "... Hold on, Ill be back for you" Squall kissed Ami on the back of the hand and felt some courage flow through his veins again, for Ami. *charges*

The memory snapped to a quiet setting. She was in the back of a track with bars in the window, clearly sedated. There was a quiet conversation taking place in the front of the truck.
"You have to understand that this is the most classified of information. This is why I could not disclose it over the phone or in a public setting. It is not to be on record."
"Of course."
"You can't let her age fool you. This creature is going to be you most dangerous client. Listen close, because this is the only time I'm going to tell you. She is a clone of Sephiroth, with her DNA focused on one of his strongest traits-"
"SEPHIROTH?!"
"Yes. It has been considered a grave mistake in the business. But she is the worst mistake of all. Her DNA has been cloned of his insanity."
Silence.
"Why here? Why don't you exterminate her?"
More silence.
"Is that such an ethical question for a doctor to ask? Observe her. That's all that we ask. Your institute is being more than compensated for the trouble..."
The memory faded into the padded room again.

(( ooooh serious stuff! ))
Squall ran at the clone, well aware that it was a clone of Amis brother, "... Im sorry" he murmered as he plunged his gunblade forwards towards his stomach.

Ami's stomach churned. "Oh. My. G**." Shinra, you a**.
"His INSANITY?! Whose brilliant idea was that?!" Ami shouted at the padded room door. She looked around-- a sensation of fear and urgency had just washed into her mind from outside... Squall was in trouble! "Let me out of here!" Ami demanded. "VI! Let me out!"
Ami's face twitched as she began the mental strain of extracting herself from Vi's tortured psyche...

The Loz clone lumbered away from the approaching gunblade. Even barely conscious, the electric stimulus used to keep his brain and muscles active made him immediately deadly. He smiled wickedly. "A new game..." He aimed a punch at Squall's head.

jesus! Shocked squall threw his gunblade infront of his face, the flat of the blade catching his punch with a clang. Whered that come from!? Squall swirled his gunblade around and aimed a shot at his neck. *Crash! Another clone smashes out of its tube* This is bad
