Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Right, it's not far from here," Blaze stated. He began to walk out of the elevator, a pensieve expression on his face.

Blaze laughed jovially at the events, before taking a seat. "Don't worry about them, they're jealous that you have a much better singing voice." He smiled, a warm touch to it this time.

As the subway began to move, it wound its way underneath the central pillar that the headquarters stood on. From out of the window, a clear view of the slums beneath the plate was visible. "The eight sectors of Midgar were built over eight villages, one for each sector. A word of advice though; stay away from Sector 6, Bella. It's where Wall Market rests... and the corpulent, corrupt, perverted man Don Corneo is the leader. He kidnaps young girls and women, and has them brought to his mansion.

"He has three girls brought to him each night, and chooses one of them to... spend time with," he stated.

"I... had an older sister, about a year or two younger than Auros. She... was kidnapped by Don Corneo. It was about... four years ago, she was only sixteen," Blaze stated. He looked at the subway car's floor. "He chose her, that night... but she died from the rough way he handled her. You may have read up on her SOLDIER file. SOLDIER 2nd Class, Voltras. She specialized in Thunder Materia magic."

"There's nothing to apologize for, you didn't do anything wrong," Blaze answered. "Besides, I trust your word. And, I guess you could say that being a member of SOLDIER runs in my family."

"Well, I'm not too wild about Shin-Ra. I feel like maybe those guys in AVALANCHE had a point, that using Mako is hurting the planet. But the way they went about trying to protect this planet was all wrong," Blaze said. He sighed as his gaze turned back to Bella. "Oh well... I guess it can't be helped unless President Shinra realizes that using Mako would harm the planet." The subway came to a stop at Sector 1, the doors sliding open. "Well, let's go."

"Well, the Lifestream is supposedly the lifeblood of the planet. When Auros joined the Lifestream, the particles of light looked like Mako. So, I'm thinking that Mako is the liquid form of the Lifestream. Like I said back at headquarters, Auros' blade shouldn't be separated from him, even when he's dead," Blaze began to explain. He strolled towards the entrance of the Mako Reactor. "So, to make sure that it's still with him, I'm throwing it into the Reactor, where it'll join the Lifestream as well. That's really the only way for some sort of object to join the Lifestream, I guess. I just... feel like it belongs to him and no one else."

"Just stay close to me, and when we get where we need to go, well... don't look down. If you haven't been in a Mako Reactor before, looking down is a surefire way to unnerve yourself," Blaze stated. He continued to make his way through the Mako Reactor, until the two were stopped by a Shin-Ra employee. "Is something wrong?"

"Yes sir, someone's planted a bomb in the reactor, they'll set it off!" the employee stated. Blaze swore under his breath at the mention of it.

"Great... if we don't disarm that bomb, it'll cause billions of gil worth of damage, not to mention how many will be killed by the radius of the blast!" he commented. "Is it AVALANCHE again?"

"No, they're still disbanded. It's another eco-terrorist group entirely," the terrified worker answered.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of them. That bomb won't go off on our watch!" the scarlet haired boy stated. He looked at Bella, nodded and drew the SOLDIER sword he had in its sheath, before running further into the Mako Reactor. "Mod would be a great help right about now!"
