Aerith gave him a look, she so believed those words! "Are you afraid to show any form of real emotion? Even pain? " She was curious, in a way. "You shouldn't hide how you feel. It can come with terrible consequences. " Obviously, she meant a lot more then just physical pain. "You know where I am, if you should ever need someone to talk to..about anything! " Adachi may of been on bad terms with them, sure, but that wouldn't stop Aerith from trying to soften his heart even just a little. At the very least, to accept them and have no more quarrels.
"Yes, I do remember. I remember it was your doing, your twisting of the citizens to turn against us. You know full well, most of the citizens of Midgar have some form of weapon, and some defense and skill. When those skills are used against one of our members, in a attempt to kill, do you really expect the one they are attacking to just let it happen? We all fight to protect each other and this planet...Lives are lost, as much as I wish we didn't have to fight." She stood up now, her attention remaining on Adachi. "I can't say they would be happy to see you, but Avalanche, despite what you want to believe, does not kill without a reason. I wouldn't let them make any trouble for you." She sighed softly. "If you change your mind, and you do decide to come by, if It isn't me who comes to the door you just tell them Aerith sent you.." That would be clear enough passage, without starting any hostility. "Hmm? " Information? What could he know that they did not? Especially her, the Cetra had such a deep connection with the planet, those voices never quite left her alone when danger was on the rise. As he began to explain his theory of Balder somehow possibly having a connection to this new threat, and it be a possibility that he was the reason for everything happening, Aerith fell silent for a good moment. That was a lot of possibilities to take in. "I can't imagine one of Nero's children being the cause of all of this." The Beast ordeal was over with, there was no way she wanted to believe that it possibly returned and could take him over again to repeat the same battle. "What makes you think this is what might be happening? "
"H-Hot? " Well, that was a compliment she had never got before. She was glad Terra wasn't here, he might be regretting his flirting right now, and she would probably be grounded a while for kissing him! "He,he..I never heard anyone say that to me before.." She grinned a bit. "Huh? Whaaat? That's not possible, you're funny! Maybe you worry to much? There's no way girls wouldn't like you! " Gosh, she seemed to feeling a little flustered, this was a whole new experience for her. Her cheeks even seemed to catch a tinge of pink. "Glad you ..like these? " She poked at her furry ears, her blush only deepening as he asked the most unexpected question of the day! "...Wait, are you teasing meeee?? You would...want to go out on a date with me? ..But, um..Wouldn't we look a little strange?" She wondered if he even knew of his real age, with all the lies he was probably fed here, he was probably very convinced he was a teenager, yet...he really was very close, if not the very same age as her despite how much older he looked compared to her.

Tohru Adachi "You act high and mighty. But lose and you're just a loser." "I'm definitely not afraid to show annoyance, which is what you're causing right now," Adachi said elusively. He never was one for mushy s**t or anything like that, that was for certain. That was just part of how he was raised.
Adachi shrugged in an overdramatic fashion at her next words. "Make excuses for them if you want to! Doesn't change the fact that people are dead because of them. Self-defense, murder... does it really matter? I don't feel any remorse for your team's bad reputation. You brought it on yourself. I just helped a bit." He had a fair point--coming from someone who had murdered in cold blood before, he would be the first to attest that killing was killing. "Whether you believe it's justified or not, I don't give a damn. If you want to look at people as numbers on a chart that's your business. But most people have family, and loved ones. There are people out there who were directly impacted by your team's killing. They lost a lover, or a father, or a daughter. All the excuses in the world don't matter to those people. Take it from me, kid. I've killed more than once in cold blood. Not a day goes by that I don't think about it." At the time, his mind had been somewhat warped by Ameno-sagiri, but he still accepted responsibility for the things he had done. To say he regretted his actions wasn't entirely accurate, but even so, he continued on keeping the memory of those two in his mind at all times. "Mayumi Yamano... Saki Konishi... I'll never forget their faces. What about you? Have you killed anyone? Do you think those people you stay with remember the names and faces of the ones they've killed?" His eyes cut to the side. "Becoming desensitized to killing isn't exactly what I'd call healthy. I've killed people, I've used people... but I'm not a soulless husk. Take it from someone with experience--it's important not to lose that humanity. Though I know you're not all human, still..." Even if he was someone that many would consider an awful person, even if he turned away from bonds and love, he was still human. "If your people can kill people without feeling a thing then they're more of a monster than I'll ever be. Ironic, huh?" He took a step back, chuckling. "That topic got super severe all of a sudden! No need to dwell on that I guess."
Then came the next topic, about Balder Lylatt and his potential involvement. "I don't know all the details. Call it a hunch for now. The tear was entirely inactive until he came back alive. No off-worlders showed up in that time, no one was brought back to life, nothing... then when he did come back, there was suddenly a massive influx. Seems connected to me." He shook his head. "I don't think it involves the Beast, but I don't know much for certain yet. Maybe if I get a chance to talk to Balder directly I'll be able to figure it out, but he doesn't come by for visits too often." He barely visited Avalanche or his family due to how busy he usually was, he probably wouldn't be stopping by to chat with Adachi anytime soon. Adachi put a hand to his chin. "..." He supposed perhaps he could try to force him out to talk to him using one of his siblings, but at the same time, messing with the child of a god sounded... unhealthy. Not to mention it was more likely to attract Phoenix, which was useless to him and would just end in him getting beaten up a bit. "...Anyway, are you still here? I can't have a productive work day with you and that fox-eared kid around. Shoo! Scram!" They just couldn't take a hint.Zane grinned up at her. "Extremely! One of the hottest girls I've ever seen! And I've seen a lot..!" He had never seen a girl yet that he DIDN'T find attractive, but it was true that Hiyori was exceptionally so. Though the same would probably be true of her sisters if he ever met them. "They must all be too shy or blind, then!" For no one to have ever called her that, it was madness! "You'd be surprised. I haven't ever really been on a date. And not for lack of trying..." Not for lack of trying... a lot... maybe too much.
"No?! I'm being serious!" He said in response to her question about him teasing her. As if. "There's literally nothing I'd rather spend my day on than dating you, as a matter-of-fact." That was pretty accurate. Suddenly nothing else he had planned mattered remotely to him. "...Uh, look strange? Why? I mean, I already look weird with my silver eyes. And I guess you have that fox look, but damn, it's so hot on you. Bah, who cares if we look strange! I AM strange, so it works out perfectly!" That was one way to look at it... (( OOC: ))

   Poor Aerith, there was no way in the world she would be able to win the current discussion she was having with her new best friend. Manipulative Adachi, although he would never be able to truly get into Aerith's head, she was much to smart for that trickery.
And at the last shooing words, a certain silver-haired teenager would appear. "..Hello there. " She turned to Adachi, smirking. This was the guy that bothered everyone so much? She could take him out! ...Or could she? He looked like a weak little man, nothing to fear for one such as her! Glancing to her mother, she just...rolled her eyes at her. "Did you come here in hopes to be kidnapped or something? Maybe you have a thing with that. You should talk to someone, maybe. " Sephriea was such a pleasant daughter to have! "Sorry if you were expecting Zackie to come to your rescue, you got me instead. " She grinned, messing with her was a lot of fun for her it seemed. "I can tell by the look on his face, that you were being a pest of a cetra, which would have lead to your arrest or something like that.. Am I right, A-d-a-c-h-i? "
Turning to the other presence in the room, she would see...Zane? Zane and Hiyori, wait. What was going on here? Why was he even here? Last she heard he was missing..for..god knows how long. "Uh, Zane? ...What the hell are you doing here? ...You've been here all this time? With him? "
"....Sephriea, mind your own business! Were flirting here, sogoaway." That outta scare her away, or at least creep her out some. She turned right back to Zane, her grin returning, along with a small blush. "Hee,hee..That makes me happy to hear. No one ever looks at me like a mature adult! I'm smarter then most of them and never get that respect! " As he went on to say, he had never been on a date, Hiyori blinked in pure surprise. Such a thing was impossible, wasn't it?? HOW? "I guess, it works out in the end, r-right!? Those girls lost their chances to be with someone great. Lucky me! " Her perked up ears, and swishing tail seemed to show just how happy she was. "Well, there's my looks of course, there's nothing wrong with your silver eyes, they're so pretty! I just meant..well...I mean, you look so much older then me..Even if you and I are really the same age, because of,um, what happened after you were born..Would you still feel comfortable dating me? " "Oh god. It really IS the end of the world..." Sephriea just HAD to add that in.

Tohru Adachi "You act high and mighty. But lose and you're just a loser."Adachi scratched the side of his head, letting out an exasperated sigh. "Honestly, do you people have no respect for privacy? Just because you CAN teleport anywhere you want doesn't mean you SHOULD." Seriously, how many people were going to teleport in uninvited? He shrugged nonchalantly at her inquiry. "Sure, why not. Just get the hell out of my building. You're all hampering the productivity." Some people just had no respect for the importance of work. Or something."...Uh, do I know you?" Zane didn't seem to have any idea who Sephriea was. But that was true of... everyone here. "I feel like I'd remember such a cute girl..." He wasn't shy. But that wasn't anything new. Turning his attention to Hiyori once again, he grinned slightly. "Yeah? I'm sure you're a lot smarter than I am. I'm not the brightest guy around..." But he had some good looks to him at least, right? "Yeah right, lucky me! I never thought such a cute girl would want to give me the time of day. Hopefully this luck holds out!" He paused a moment, blinking a few times. "I guess I look a bit older, but, who cares? You're probably a lot more mature than me, so it evens out, right?" Yeah, that was totally how it worked. "Besides, there's nothing wrong with your looks! You're h-o-t! Gorgeous! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." This was going surprisingly well for the both of them, it seemed. "You even need to ask? Pick a place and we're there!"(( OOC: ))

"You're just lucky I don't teleport to your bedroom at night while you sleep.." Sephriea's twisted grin could make even Jenova proud. She was intending on creeping him out, but would she succeed?? "It's funny when you say... "My building". " She laughed. "It's far from your building, Outsider. It belongs to an even more corrupted fool that's rotting in the depths of hell, you got a hold of this place by some screwy method, but it certainly isn't yours, and you most certainly aren't the president of this company, no matter how much you believe it, or make everyone else believe it. It will come to an end soon enough, you know. What will you do then? " Sephriea really had a problem with Adachi, she was probably just as bad as he was in terms of attitude, which was probably why she picked on him so much.
Turning now to Zane, she just..rolled her eyes. "You see that lady there? That's your mother. I'm your half sister, Sephriea. Still find me cute? Maybe you want to go on one-date. " She grinned.
Hiyori glared into Sephriea's direction. "I think it's you that's the real pest here! " She really was! Looking back to Zane, she began to notice just how clueless he really was as to who he was, or really, anything about himself. Clearly he didn't get what she meant of the ages. He had no idea how he was aged to be a teenager, but yet in reality, he was very close to her own age, if not the same age as her. "I'm gonna have to explain a lot of things to you when your ready to hear them, Zane..just so long as you don't get mad at me! " She really didn't want that to happen. As they got back on track of playful flirting, Hiyori smiled. "Well, I think I am, despite what everyone wants me to be, I want to do things to help everyone out against our enemies, so i'll continue to be as mature as I can, no matter what! " She paused a moment, thinking.. "Umm...I don't really know.." She laughed nervously, going on a date wasn't exactly something she ever thought she would be doing, so she never thought about where she would go had she ever gotten such an opportunity. "Maybe you know of a place? Is there anywhere you would like to go? "

     The speaker system intercom would suddenly beep a few times, alerting Adachi that he had someone trying to reach him. Only a moment later, a womans voice would begin to speak. "Sir, that teenage girl, Miss Cresent, is here again. " Her tone sounded more irritated, and slightly worried at the same time. "She's demanding to see that boy Zane...and..um, h-hey!! Wait! You can't go there!" One could guess where she was now heading. "Ahh, sir! She's trying to make her way to you. Is the boy with you? It would be wise to have him leave, this girl is armed and...a little scary! " She had a pretty wicked, sleek black and red katana, which she didn't look very afraid to use. "She's heading for you! "
Aisha made her way into the elevator with ease, down here, there was hardly any security to stop her, and those who were here were to afraid of her to try and stop her. "Try and stop me this time.." She muttered to herself, watching through the glass as it ascended upward, she seemed to know just where he was, due to the flashing icon of the room she was communicating with on the computer screen. It wouldn't be hard to get there, security wasn't quite so tight in the lounge room as it was his office.

Naosis Just before Aisha would reach the elevator however, a figure dropped down in front of her, throwing out his arms and sending three large fireballs out of his palm. They all struck the ground directly in front of her, as a warning. "All of you just think you can do what you please..." His hand reached towards the large blade on his back--Fenrir, the modified copy of Buster Sword. "What exactly do you think you'll accomplish here? Kidnap Zane? What will you do when he just comes right back here? He can't remember a damn thing. We've tried to jog his memory." He drew his sword. "He's on a restricted floor right now. You can't go. If you want to try and force your way there, you'll have to go through me. Or you could just sit and wait for him to come." Considering she was armed, he figured it was best to stop her here anyhow. "You'll need to leave your weapons at the door. Only SOLDIERS can open-carry weapons here." Very likely she would agree to that. (( OOC: ))

Aisha stopped in mid-step, taking a small step back as the fire balls collided with the ground in front of her. There was barely any reaction, if he expected her to be frightened, he would quickly learn that it would take a LOT more to give her a real scare. "..Because we can. For all the hell Avalanche has been through because of the people of this building, we have every right to come and go as we please. "
"Kidnap hmm? If that word pleases you, then fine with me. I'll kidnap my boyfriend against his will. " Aisha may of had more issues then her mother knew, was she really so obsessed with Zane to still call him that? After years since his disappearance and the fact that he didn't remember her, she was still very much determined to think of him as such.
Aisha's face turned into a cold smirk as he drew his blade. "You realize, you are only a ShinRa dog, don't you? All you need is a collar, with Adachi's hand on the leash. Following his orders, being a good little puppy,even so much as drawling your sword at me just to keep me from seeing him. Someday, situations will be replaced and it might be Sylvanas you need to reach, but will you get through to her without some ridiculous resistance? Or will you stand aside and let whatever is to happen to her, happen? You are in with the devils, soon enough, those demons will find all that you hold dear."
Rolling her deep red eyes, Aisha sighed, the annoyance was obvious. "Yes, I will leave my weapons here and proceed into one of the most dangerous buildings of this forsaken city. Let me through, now, and you might not have to visit the ER..or should I say, the science lab where they will most likely take you. "

Naosis"What an entitled brat." Naosis responded dully, putting a hand to his hip. "You have some nerve to talk like that, but I guess I don't expect any different from those of you with Avalanche."
He shook his head at her next words. "Boyfriend? He doesn't even know who you are. Not anymore. Why even obsess over him? I'm pretty sure you could get with other, less idiotic guys if you really wanted to. Is he really so worth fighting for to you?" It didn't make much sense to him. "I figured someone like him would just annoy someone like you." She didn't seem to be a very patient kind of girl.
"At least unlike you I have purpose," he said. "What do all of you do? Sit around in that mansion of yours and just exist. I have goals, and ambitions. I have purpose. You all do nothing, meekly waiting for something to mess with your boring existence so you can exterminate it. Is that really living?" He shook his head. "That sort of inaction is what led the Beast to nearly destroying the world. Even if a threat is obviously there, you'll all do nothing in response until your hand is absolutely forced. Jenova is still alive, those demons, Sephiroth... and many others. You have the manpower to do something about it, and what do you do? Nothing. You sit around patting each other's backs until your hand is forced. So much easier to pretend like nothing is wrong, isn't it? At least Adachi is willing to respond to things that need to be done. Things have been pretty quiet for you lately, haven't they? Do you ever wonder why? It's because SOLDIERs like Zane and I are out quelling the menaces of the world. And yet you entitled Avalanche "heroes" cry when any civilian calls you out for your hypocritical bullshit. As though you should all be hailed as heroes when you do nothing to earn that title. Grow up!" Well, he certainly had a lot to say on that topic, didn't he? "Some of you even go as far as to kill those civilians. Such heroes you are that you're thin-skinned enough to kill someone for having a negative opinion of you all."
He shook his head as she refused, and even went on to threaten him. "Guess there's no need for words anymore," He raised his blade, slamming it into the ground and sending a Blade Beam towards her, followed immediately by him leaping into the air, bringing the massive blade crashing down onto her.Meanwhile, Zane seemed to be having a more pleasant time than his SOLDIER comrade. "Half-sister, huh? I guess it could be worse, I'd still go out with a cutie like you in a heartbeat." He grinned. "Though I don't know what you're talking about. I can't really remember a thing about my past beyond a certain point." A while back, just before he joined ShinRa. Every now and then he had flashes of what might have been his past, but they were wholly unrecognizable.
"Well, I'm a hard person to make mad, I think." Zane said, scratching the side of his head. He couldn't remember the last time he actually got angry about something. "Well, I think that's really cool and mature of you! Cute and cool, not to mention hot. You're just the whole package, huh?!" He grinned. "Uuuhhh... I dunno. What do people usually do when they go on a date?" Poor Zane had never been on one. Or at least, not one he remembered. "Come to think of it, what even is there to do in Midgar? I don't really... go out often. But it's a big place, right? I'm sure we can figure something out!"(( OOC: ))

Aisha's only reaction of her most often emotionless face was the faint smirk suddenly at her lips. "You have such wonderful opinions of Avalanche, adorable. So easily brainwashed by your new master.." She almost wanted to laugh.
"Nice to know where you stand, oh-great-one. You would so easily give up on someone just because they lost their memories? Well, unlike you, I don't give up and you will soon learn that. " It may of been years since she last seen him, but that obviously wasn't stopping her.
"Haha...that's what you believe we do? Funny. You think you know everything, don't you? Bugging the mansion obviously isn't working out for you guys. " There was a time that was true, though she wasn't truly sure if that was the case anymore, especially with Hiyori's gadgets that easily detected them. "Jenova hasn't been seen in years.Go ask Sephriea if you don't believe me. " Sephriea could prove that, too. "As for the demons, uh, there's a lot of them in the world, and not all of them are out to kill. All these people have power to avoid our searches, not to mention teleporting every second of the day to escape. We aren't 'sitting by' and letting things happen, you fool. Technology is a thing now, did you know that? We have the ability to search for enemies by the use of technology without risking more lives then needed if it can be helped. " Aisha rolled her crimson eyes, god, he was annoying. How did a person like Sylvanas ever want to be with this guy? "Again..That's a load of BS. No one killed any innocent civilians. It was during their attack on one of the team that lead to their death. Attacking, and attempting to kill one of our own doesn't go unpunished. Self defense, protecting our friends, yeah, surely you know of such things. This civilian you speak of was no innocent, but it doesn't matter what I say. You only will believe Adachi, and no other. You have fun believing in his lies, soon enough you will see. "
"Fine with me." Aisha responded, and suddenly he would see along her entire body, was a thin line of crimson energy that seemed to highlight her form from head to toe, even the dark blade in her hand, which seemed to have that very same energy coursing through it. Aisha didn't move to dodge his attack, but instead stood there. As he was coming down for her to bring down the massive blade onto her, he might find a painful surprise when she suddenly struck upward with her blade, that same crimson energy intensified instantly the moment it was raised, sending her own form of a chaos infused blade beam. The power behind it would take down dozens of enemies, but not before throwing them back into any nearest objects, or through them. How would Naosis stand up to it?
"You would still go out with me, despite the fact that i'm your half-sister?" Sephriea blinked at him, that was so not the reaction she expected! She thought he would freak out, be disgusted, anything but be open to dating her. "You really are a crazy one, huh?. ..Anyway..Do you even want to try to get your memories back? They won't come back in this place, in this company. You really should get out of here, clear your head. "
Hiyori grinned at him. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that. You do look like a happy kind of person." Like his father, of course! "Hee,hee..I guess I am! " She beamed at his series of compliments, she couldn't not get tired of them! "Um...well, I dunno..!" She laughed, rubbing the back of her head. "I never exactly...went on a date ether. We should probably keep this a secret, I don't think my mom will be able to handle it well. We can be sneaky for a while, which is also kind of fun, right? " She grinned. "I guess...well, we can...just..walk together? I seen my parents doing that a lot, I guess that's sort of a date too? So long as were together we can make the best of it!" "....Suddenly I feel invisible.." Aerith quietly commented. Did they even realize she was...right...there?! "..I think you should worry about his mother, Hiyori. You two are both still far to young to be...dating..! " ...But yet, Ariel was dating Kaden.. Oh, god, it was so much more complicated then it should have been. All due to experiemental injections by a certain scientist, both Zane and Ariel were forced to 'grow' into teenagers the night they were born, making them really quite young, Hiyori and Zane may actually be the very same age, but appearance on the other hand had a part to play, as Zane now looked like a teenager, yet Hiyori still looked her age. "Zane...Will you please come with me? To our home?...Your home..."

Naosis"I know a lot more than you do," Naosis responded dully. He put a hand to his hip, listening to her side of the story. "So in other words, "we know there's bad in the world but we don't know where so we just sit around and do nothing about it."" He shrugged. "Sounds about exactly what I said before. You do nothing until your hand is forced. Are you aware of the recent demon attacks on Kalm, Rocket Town and Nibelheim? Just to name a few? Probably not. Do you know who handled those? It wasn't Avalanche, I can tell you that much." Indeed, he or Zane had been present at all of those to quell the invasion and send the demons away. "You only care when you happen to be in the neighborhood, or it comes to your doorstep. And it isn't like you have no way of knowing. I'm well-aware of how powerful Serenitian senses are. But I'm not trying to make you all get up and do something about it. No--leave that to us. You all just keep sitting up on your high horses pretending you're the heroes while we do the actual work." Naosis certainly had a lot to say on the topic. "It's frankly cute that you all view yourselves as the absolute heroes of the world and us as though we're all evil, when in reality the truth is so much more complicated than your simple viewpoint could allow." He shook his head at her next words. "Self-defense! That's rich. Yeah, a barely-capable civilian "attacks" a group of superpowered humans, demons and whatever else, and in response they kill the civilians. As if there wasn't a way to stop them without killing them. Your people aren't that incompetent, or that stupid. They just don't care. They only value life on a large scale or when it directly effects them." He shook his head. "This talking is getting us nowhere. I don't know why I bother."
As he came down towards her, she retaliated quicker than he expected. He certainly hadn't expected her to be so... powerful. He wasn't able to finish his attack, as her strike sent him suddenly directly towards the wall, which he collided with, leaving a dent in it as he dropped down to his feet. "...Nghh..." He took a few steps forward, though the sudden immense pain and.... exhaustion washing over his body caused him to drop his massive sword, and a moment later, he dropped down to his knees... right in front of Aisha. How was this possible? Was he... really already defeated...? That quickly? "Too... strong..." ...And so it seemed humiliation would be added to the things he felt currently, as this... girl who clearly wasn't dressed for battle stood before his kneeling, defeated figure. He let out a sigh as he dropped down to his hands and knees, the exhaustion taking further hold of him. Staring down at her boots only made him feel more humiliated, as it sunk in just how low he was, and how quickly she had put him in this state..."Uh, yeah? A girl as cute as you, any logical guy would give up an arm and a leg to get a date with!" Zane grinned. He certainly was an odd fellow, that was for sure. "Eh, I dunno. I guess having my memories wouldn't be bad or anything, but I'm not exactly missing them. I don't even know what I'd be missing, so, could be worse, right?" That wasn't exactly an awful way of looking at it.
He paused, thinking on what Hiyori had suggested. "Just walking around, huh? I guess that's perfect for two people who have no idea what to do." They were in the same boat at least. "And that could give us ideas for next time! Seems pretty perfect to me."
He blinked as the girl in the pink dress addressed him. ...Something about her seemed familiar. "My home?" He raised an eyebrow. "I live here, actually... I have ever since shortly after I first woke up. And I have a lot of stuff planned today, so, I dunno..."Adachi sighed. "He gets really evasive when I bring up stuff about you, his dad or his life before he lost his memories. I could press it, but I figure if he doesn't want to talk it's not my business." He told Aerith. "Do whatever you want, kid," Adachi spoke up, addressing Zane. "I got other guys who can fill in for you today.""Oh. A day-long vacation, huh." He put a hand to his chin. "I wonder if that guy is still selling funnel cakes...""....Funnel cakes. From the festival after we took down the Beast. You... you really think that stand is still up?""Well I'll never KNOW unless I CHECK, right?" Oh, silly simpleminded Zane.(( OOC: ))

"......" Aisha just..stared at him as he spoke, throwing once again, every insult there was into Avalanche's way. He seemed to really enjoy seeing them as some lazy idiots, just sitting in their big mansion doing absolutely nothing. "..You know, I'm glad you have no relation to Cloud. I won't have to go easy on you because of some bond with parents to hold me back.You're becoming an ultimate pain in the a**. You continue to see your views and lies..I'll just beat them out of you." And beat him she would, but how far would she take it before one of them was ether brought down or stopped?
"Just shut up." Her voice was strangely calm, for one who wasn't quite so calm herself. Naosis woud feel that 'calm', in the beam of her blade that would soon send him flying back into the wall. The dent there left by the impact of his body wasn't quite so satisfying, though. She had hoped for bigger destruction, and a much more injured Naosis. But he no later got to his feet.....only to drop his weapon, and a moment later he would fall to his knees. Now this ...is what she wanted to see. "..Oh, now let me see....where is the confidence in your eyes now? You really want me to believe you are off protecting the world, when you go down so easily with one hit from me? ...Pathetic. You definitely aren't Clouds son, heh..."
She looked down at him as he dropped down to his hands and knees, she couldn't help but grin as something came to her. "..You look like a peasant bowing to his queen..But you are one of the unworthies. Do you know what the Queen does to unworthy peasants? An evil queen, that is..She won't throw him to the dungeons. No,that would be to kind. She chops his head off instead, and places it for all other peasants to see, a motivator, you see..No one would want to end up like the failure." Oh boy. Aisha...really...had serious issues. Maybe she wasn't the same person she once was, not for a long while. This was a whole new side of Aisha, a terrifying one. She definitely did not sound right in the head. Lucrecia just didn't seem to have luck with stable minded children.
Her blade was raised. "You won't stop, once you've recovered...you will try to stop me again! Stop me from seeing Zane! I..won't have it...I won't let you live.."
And just as she was about to bring down her blade, with full intent of severing his head from his spine, the clash of two steel weapons would collide, until one of them found its way into the other side of the wall, with narrow halls, a shuriken couldn't maneuver so well. It did knock Aisha's weapon off course, though!
But Cissnei's bold attempts were not going to go exactly as well as she hoped. She now had no weapon, Rekka was past Aisha, stuck in the wall. She would have to get past her in order to get it back now. "Aisha...what's gotten into you?! This isn't how they fight. This isn't Avalanche's way! Please, just leave him alone, and leave this building.." Now she was glad she spotted her heading for the ShinRa building, and decided to follow her. At the very least, she managed to keep Naosis alive by this distraction. "Nothing you are planning to do is going to be good for you. " "....You.....I'm not allowed to bring Zane back home? I'm the bad guy, for wanting to bring him back? ...Yet, the woman who is the very reason Zane, Ariel and myself, are who we are now. We were forced to grow quickly. Zane lost his childhood, he lost a lot, because of you. We all lost something, because of you! You think your changed now? You think everything is forgotten, and it's fine?! You go on as if you carry no guilt, as if you are so innocent..There is no redemption for what you've done. Only death! " And, the 'innocent' ex-Turk would face the very same strike as Naosis, which in her built up anger, the chaos energy only seemed to dangerously amplify. Cissnei would have no way to stop the energy as it struck directly into her, sending her into a glass door which would shatter upon impact. When Aisha stepped in through the glass ridden floor, her face lit up into a cold smirk. The sight of her blood was possibly the second greatest thing she would ever see, until she shoved her onto her back to see a large thick glass shard sticking out of her side. "I came for Zane, and was rewarded with bringing two fools down in the process...This is a lovely start of my day.." Lovely, that was a word never to be expected from Aisha, of all people. " Receive my gift, and stay out of my way as you die..slowly. " Naosis would see the massive sword of his start to raise into the air, and as if it had suddenly became steal putty, it would start to wrap around his body swiftly,before solidifying into steal once more leaving him trapped...in his own weapon! Rekka next, floated upward, and through the broken glass door, to slip around Cissnei's wrists, nether of them would have a fun time trying to get out of their precious weapons. It would be an impossible task, if anything. Naosis was to badly injured and exhausted, as was Cissnei. "Now then...Zane, i'm coming for you.." Just as she started on her way, a shard of glass would come down, striking into Naosis's shoulder, and another through a wing.
Sephriea didn't seem to have much to say, as if Hiyori was about to let her talk anymore, anyway. The little fox-girl was having to much fun already, and the fun of the day didn't even start yet! "Well, I don't think its that bad. Mom always seems very happy, constantly clinging to his arm like he's a cuddly bunny. " Hiyori said with a grin. "We can do that, if you want..hee,hee..I can keep you warm on cold nights, for our upcoming winter.. " Was she seriously flirting already? Yep, she was definitely enjoying this. It seemed like she couldn't wait for winter to come just so she could hang onto Zane's arm! Then again, could she? She was rather short! "I can't wait, I feel like suddenly, I can finally have real fun, and more special because i'll be with you!" ...She seemed to forget they still had a audience in her excitement!
"..." Aerith sighed softly. He really didn't know a thing, it wasn't his fault, and she never blamed him for anything, though, she still couldn't help but feel this pain in her heart. Her son had lost his memories of her, Zack, Ariel and any happy moments he ever shared, everything gone. "...All I ask of you right now, Zane, is to just come home with me. Even if it's just for a few moments, If you can't remember anything, even a small memory...Then..." No, she wasn't going to give up, she could never, ever do that! She would give him a small amount of space, maybe, and hope that they might return slowly. "Please, Zane? After you've visited, you..and Hiyori..can go on your...date." It wasn't hard to see how difficult this was for Aerith.

  Nanako Dojima  Humming the tune of her beloved Junes, Nanako was on her way to see her favorite person in the world, besides Yu, who she didn't see so often these days. Love life of a teenage boy kind of took him away. But she had Adachi, and that was just enough to keep her cheerful attitude,and smiling face going. "Everyday is great at your ShinRa~" Her giggling echoed through the hall, which unknown to her, was also the hall that Aisha was now walking down at the other corner.
When she took to the corner, there she would see the dark haired, angry teenager walking into her direction. She didn't think anything of it, though she did back up a step, so that the girl could pass her. For some reason, she felt extra nervous in this girls presence. She was always a little nervous around strangers, but this was more extreme. "..You..Your the one I notice hanging around that fool, Adachi......Hm.. What is he to you? " Uh oh. "...A-Adachi isn't a fool...He's the best! He's..--!! " "Whatever, you seem close enough to work. Keep quiet if you want to grow up.." Oh god, Aisha really was not herself. Was this even Aisha at all?! Nanako would feel her arm grabbed roughly, before Aisha would continue on her way, pulling the young girl along with her. Nanako at this point, was to scared to even scream, or cry!
It wasn't much longer until the door of the lounge was..kicked in, only to fly to the other side of the room and shattering against the other side of the wall! Those inside would see the horrifying, and even unbelievable scene of Aisha obviously roughly holding a small girl as her hostage, her bait....
What she didn't know, all this was for..nothing. Zane was never prisoner here, he had the freedom to go where ever he wanted, but Aisha never took the time to really see that. Her methods were going to cost severely. "Listen here..If you want her to live a long, healthy life...You will let Zane go..." Her blade..moved to rest under Nanako's small neck. "I won't ask again...Zane...Come here...Now. Ether of you try anything, and it will be the last time you see this girl breathing.." Aisha might of been following in her brother's foot-steps after all. She definitely wasn't very far off.

Tohru Adachi "You act high and mighty. But lose and you're just a loser."Adachi let out a sigh as the door was kicked in so rudely. "You sure took your sweet time. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show. But really, did you have to-" He paused, seeing... her... hostage. "...." Adachi's face contorted into an enraged expression that would actually terrify most people. "You b***h." He said lowly, the tone in his voice being one that showed just how deep his anger was. "You're gonna play that way, are you?" His enraged expression turned into a twisted, psychotic grin. "I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna rip your flesh off your bones. I'll enjoy seeing you scream in agony until you die!" Oh god, someone threatening Nanako like this REALLY brought out his hateful psychotic side. His face returned to a look of disgusted rage. "You think I'm keeping him against his will here, you worthless b***h? You're as stupid as you are suicidal.""...." Zane looked at Aisha, then at Adachi, then back to Aisha. "...Th-thank god... he's been keeping me here against my will for so long! Are you here to... save me?" He began walking towards Aisha. "They're awful here... They beat me every day, they only give me enough food to survive... Thank you... you've saved me from this suffering... finally, I can-!" He lunged forward, grabbing her sword by the blade and pulling it away from Nanako's neck. He cut his hand in the process, but it was worth it to try and help.
It seemed Zane wasn't as stupid as he seemed all the time."MAGATSU-IZANAGI!" Zane pulled Nanako away from Aisha, and in the next moment, claws would pierce through her back and out the front of her chest, and she would feel herself flung into the wall. Then before she could react, a glaive was thrust directly into her midsection. "Ahahaha...! Does it hurt?! You underhanded b***h... Nobody is going to hurt Nanako..." Magatsu-Izanagi ripped the glaive out, stabbing it back in in a murderous frenzy several times, before grabbing her by the skull and throwing her onto the ground. Then, it would stab her once more, intending to keep her pinned to the ground. Every time she began to move or gather energy to potentially teleport, Magatsu-Izanagi would send a painful jolt of red electricity through her to stop her. "Sorry. But I don't play nice." He drew his revolver, pointing it directly at Aisha's skull. "Maybe if you had just come in to have a civil conversation, you wouldn't have had to die." But using Nanako as a hostage... that was unforgivable. He would kill anyone who tried to hurt her...(( OOC: ))

Alisa"Don't mistake me for just some pretty face; if you challenge me, you better get ready for the most embarrassing beating of your life!" "Wait!" A mostly unfamiliar voice would shout, causing Adachi to look towards the source. "This is all a misunderstanding. Let me explain everything.""...Who..." Well, this girl was GORGEOUS, but... did he recognize her? "Have I seen you before...?""..." Alisa sighed. "This is all my fault. I should have come forward with this information before now, but..." Well, she had a LOT of issues of her own, such as being exiled from the kingdom she was once princess of. "Just let me explain, alright?""...." Adachi sighed, but Magatsu-Izanagi was dismissed, freeing Aisha. He took a few steps back, standing protectively in front of Nanako. "If you try a thing, you're dead." He said seriously to Aisha, his face still contorted into rage. He would prefer not to kill her, hence why he allowed this in the first place, but... if she showed continued aggression towards Nanako, he would do what he had to."...Thank you..." She took a few steps forward. "Aisha, do you remember the name, "Sigma"? Do you, Zane?""Sigma?" Zane paused, but shook his head. "I don't remember that name...""...A few years ago... we all journeyed together to try to stop him. He was hell-bent on destroying the world. But Sigma has a bizarre power... he has the ability to make people... forget. I don't understand it entirely, but he can subtly manipulate memories. He can wash away the remembrance of things that were once important. Zane, Aisha, me, Faisal... and a few others.... we were traveling together, but slowly he began to make us forget. One-by-one, our party slowly disbanded, our members wandering away and continuing with their lives, oblivious to the crisis that they had intended to stop. Aisha was the last to be targeted in such a way. Despite the hardships--despite his subtle manipulations--Zane and I continued towards our final destination. And when the day finally came to confront him, Zane went alone. I tried to stop him--to go with him--but he prevented me. I don't know what happened that day... I only remember that the base Sigma used exploded. I assumed the worst. I blamed myself for what happened..." She paused for a long moment. "...And then Zane showed back up, alive and in a crater. I found him immediately but he didn't remember anything. Not me, not Aisha, not his parents... nothing. I wish I had tried to make him understand then--to remind him of who he was--but my guilt got the better of me. I just- I thought I would only make his life worse by continuing to intrude." She let out a long sigh. "I don't know what happened that day. I don't know if Zane defeated Sigma, or if Sigma washed his memories away, or both... but all I know is that Zane would never have been put in this situation if I hadn't asked for his help in the first place. I'm sorry, Aisha. I'm sorry, Aerith. His amnesia is my fault. I only wish it had been me who had to go through that instead." She had a lot less to lose than he did... especially now."...Traveling together... fighting someone with the power to erase memories..." Zane shook his head. "That's all so unreal. I did that...? I... I don't remember anything." He looked at Aisha. "You do look familiar... both of you do... What was I to you? How could I have forgotten people I was so close to...?" Damn, that was severe. He almost felt guilty for forgetting them--along with his parents. "I... I wish I could remember... I'm sorry..." (( OOC: ))
