   - Cissnei -  Cissnei had walked outside with the others as they began their way out of the mansion to follow Zack, only, suddenly her mind had began to think further on the past and her previous missions she had succeeded in with her fellow Turks. Missions that would nearly be impossible. Taking out Jade WEAPON wasn't exactly easy, but they all together managed. ".....I can't do this after all.." She said to herself quietly as the ex-Turk came to a stop, suddenly reaching out to grab Desmond's hand as she did to stop him too. "I've been thinking....of the past battles i've been in with the other Turks, against the strongest of creatures, even a WEAPON we succeeded to take down. Just us Turks. I don't feel right, Cloud and the others need our help..Don't you think so? Does this feel right to you? " Looking up at him, it was becoming apparent that she wanted him to join her as well. But of course, if he didn't, she wouldn't hate him for it. This wasn't an easy dissision to make herself ether, her heart was telling her otherwise.They needed skilled fighters, and that was exactly what these two were. "I've decided to stay...I don't plan on dying just yet! You know, it's hard to kill a Turk.." Her last words were said in a slightly playful manor, as she attempted to lighten the mood some.
Aerith sighed softly, she didn't seem to be bothered by his shouting, due to the situation, she was far more worried about the important things right now. "So, you want to save the world..And how will you save everyone with everyone fighting this thing, and have no healer? How do you intend to stay alive through all the injuries you all will most likely gain? Materia will work, you heard him. I'm coming with you, and I WILL be healing everyone rather you like it or not! " She wasn't yelling in an angry way, instead it was a more to the point serious tone, the one he would know he had no choice in the matter in.She.Was.Going. "Do you think a fighting staff is just for getting in my way? " She had to throw in there, it wasn't exactly a toy and she was very good with it. Maybe not spectacular, but still good enough to put on some damage if needed.

Elena Korosu  "Quite the party..." Came an ever so quiet voice of the short blond haired Turk, Elena. She had been sent with Ruluf for this small assignment, and many other previous ones due to they're being partnered.It was nice, actually, no loud mouth Reno, or one ever so silent Rude to make any situation awkward with his inability to speak like a normal human! Though the truth was she did miss them, she was much better off with a more serious man who's professionalism was able to keep her more in line as well, Ruluf. Elena's actions seemed careful, even more careful then she normally was in fact. Everyone knew she was somewhat of a klutz, and often messed things up. So far she had gotten here with no trouble, and obviously not having been detected by any of the avalanche members or serenitians, was that a bad thing for those who were supposed to be able to sense things like this?
As Elena moved closer to the window, she was right along side her partner now. "This is fantastic...! " She said with far to much glee, but kept it quiet enough not to catch the others attention, of course. "Cloud looks to be giving up on his friends...Aerith, Zack...Almost all of them..! If Avalanche is dividing this could mean a lot to Rufus..It will work out better for ShinRa, and the less we will have to worry about..! Zack will be gone, he was always the most troublesome..ShinRa can become as powerful as they once were.." Now, she never really stopped to ask him what he thought of ShinRa himself, was he for the darker side of ShinRa, or would be be wanting out the moment he learned the truth which was the very reason Cissnei had left. Or, no matter what, would he remain loyal to the company as she did...
It was then, that as she turned to face him, she had seemed to completely forget just how close she already was, this meant, the second she turned to face him, who was still looking in the window,she would realize her face was just -that- close to bringing them to a kiss had he too turned to her. It didn't take long for Elena's mind to snap to reality of what was happening, and before she could stop herself, she jumped back in embarrassment and surprise, this ended in a small crash and thud against the window as she tried to grab onto the window's edge to stop herself. The damage was done, though, enough noise was already made to wake the dead. And here we had it, The return of the klutz!
".....Ahem....Will you hold that thought for just a moment.? " Cissnei, from around the corner a slight distance away said as he leaned up a little to place a kiss on Desmond's cheek. " Be right back..! " Turning Cissnei hurried away, walking around the side. The bushes and plants were good cover, but not good enough to hide that blond Turk from her eye sight. "..Oh, look at that. I thought I sensed a klutz in the area! " She said as she stood there, her right hand settled at her hip as she gave a small, amused wave with her other hand. "Are you spying on Avalanche? Now, doing something ridiculous like that is just fitting for you, Elena, but Ruluf? "

Ruluf  "Quiet, Elena!" Ruluf said in a hushed voice, as if scolding a child, giving her a look as well. They were close to the same age, but he had much more experience in actual Turk work than she did, so when he was reinstated, he was already given a higher position than her. "If the group splits, that would only increase ShinRa's enemy count to three instead of two," he whispered to her, obviously counting Cerberus as enemies due to the serious threat they did pose.
Then came her next little slip up, making his head shoot to her direction. "...." He facepalmed himself. How was this girl a Turk? Slowly, he stood, seeings as this was no longer a covert operation. He knew Cissnei would be here any second. There was no way SHE of all people would miss that. "Remind me again how you're Emma's sister?" The Turk said, trying to bother her with his words so she would improve herself. "She was one of the best Turks we had--maybe even THE best, but you? You have less stealth skills than Yuffie Kisaragi. I know you want to surpass your sister, but as it stands now, you two aren't even close to the same league." As expected, Cissnei came right along and started talking. Cover was indeed blown. "We have orders to detain you, Cissnei," Ruluf said, crossing his arms as he said it, clearly making no movements to do that. It was clear where his friendships lied, and he wouldn't be fighting one of his best friends in Cissnei. No orders would change that. "But, of course, that was only if we were discovered by Avalanche, but since you're a Turk, I don't see any need to engage each other, don't you agree?" He said, smiling at her. "...It's been a long time, huh? It's good to see you. How's life been? We haven't seen each other since... Meteorfall. I haven't been able to keep in contact with the others either... So, what's the deal this time? ShinRa wants your hide even more than Desmond did back in the good old days. You must'a pissed 'em off somehow." For the record, he had no idea that Desmond and Cissnei were actually a thing now..."Aww, look, it's little Elena. And Luff too. It's like a nice little reunion, eh?" Desmond said, coming from behind Cissnei. He wasn't gonna miss out on this, clearly. As if there wasn't some giant threat looming over the world right now."Speak of the devil," Ruluf was also very unaware about just how accurate what he just said was"Materia MIGHT work," Cloud said, before his head darted in the direction of where he heard a loud noise. "...I guess Elena's here...." He muttered to himself, before turning back to Aerith. "Your staff isn't gonna help much against whatever it is we're fighting. I'm glad you aren't betraying Avalanche, but sit this battle out. Watch the kids or something." He said, not exactly thrilled with the idea of Aerith going into battle against this thing. Agrais, he could see. Tifa, MAYBE. But Aerith? He didn't think that was such a good idea... (( OoC: ))

- Cissnei - This was not one of Elena's best day's. Then again, her worst was probably the day at Wutai with Yuffie. Oh, yes, that was one she would never forget. The humiliation! Slowly, she got herself up off the ground, as embarrassing as that alone was, she found herself silenced by Ruluf's words, did he have to play the Emma card? And worse, Yuffie! She was better then her, maybe she would never top her sister, but she most definitely liked to think she was better skilled then that even greater skilled little ninja. Before she could get a single word in, though, there came the brunette, looking smug as ever.
Cissnei's calm composure was enough to show she too, was in no mood to fight someone she called a friend so long ago. Elena, not SO much, but that was a more personal matter between the two women. As she set her attention to Ruluf, she had to silently wonder how much he knew exactly. For now, it was probably best to let that slip by.Though she had a small idea what he was doing, which created a small smile from her as well. "Mm, Hard to believe it's been that long, isn't it? " She said softly. "It is good to see you, Ruluf.." She didn't say the same to Elena,It was as though she were purposely ignoring her! "So much has gone on since then..Honestly, I have to say i'm disappointed in ShinRa. After all we Turks had done for them, I think they could have at least helped us all stay in touch. It feels strange not having everyone around sometimes.. " Not really just sometimes, it was almost all the time. The only thing that ever helped take her mind off these thing was when she was with the demon-flirt she loved so much! His next words caused Cissnei to break out into a quiet, soft little laugh. What a way to put that, and he didn't know the story between Desmond and herself now, she almost couldn't wait to see that reaction.
"Oh, it's nothing. Apparently they aren't fond of light-spying and keeping Avalanche informed of there plans and secrets. It wasn't long ago that I re-joined, ShinRa seemed to have taken to a lighter path, but to me it seems it was all just a lie. Even now they are falling into what they became during the days of Meteor.So much of what they are doing is wrong, so I started gathering information in secret, and relaying any useful information to Avalanche. " She said to him, obviously she was in no way afraid to tell the truth here, she did trust him still very much, and it was clear enough that she could. It was then that Desmond came up from behind Cissnei, which...she was expecting! He was a curious one. "Yes, it is! Despite the current situation, this is wonderful, the few of us together like this.." Who knows if this would get to come again, so why not enjoy this time? As she stood there, she slipped her hand into Desmond's own.
Elena had shot a menacing glare toward Desmond. "Little..Elena? " She was still quick to anger, apparently! Then, she noticed Cissnei's actions, that was ...a little to couple-like, wasn't it? "....Are you two...actually together?! "
"Save it, Cloud! I can go with the risks just as you and everyone else. Just as strongly as you feel about saving everyone, do you not think I don't feel the same? I also want to be there to help this time....Side by side. Don't worry! I can almost guarantee the Materia will work, Do you see Yuffie dealing well if it doesn't? " That, was actually a small joke. She just couldn't picture that girl handling no materia very well. The noises at the window only caused her to glance into it's direction, though she was not very disturbed by it. "Another failed attempt, I suppose.." She almost laughed at that.

Ruluf "Eh, I'd say it's enough that they didn't have us killed. I mean, we took out some pretty intense foes, but if they could kill Zack, then they could definitely kill us." For even if they had defeated Zirconiade and the Jade WEAPON, Zack was still much more powerful than any of them were, and he was killed by ShinRa.
"How much things have changed. I remember back when Avalanche wanted to destroy the world and Rufus was the one giving them the information. Now Rufus is the president and Avalanche is revered as heroes. Protectors of the planet and all that.""That's right. Soon to be married. Not that we're engaged or anything, but I figure that'll happen eventually." Wow, that was the most normal thing to say right in front of your girlfriend. Take all the surprise out of proposing to her..."Whatever. I don't care." Cloud said in disinterest. He would make sure Aerith wasn't in that battle, though. Just as Zack already was going to make sure Aerith was on the ARK with him when the Beast arrived, one way or another. "Do whatever you want." (( OoC: ))

- Cissnei - Cissnei only slightly nodded, the look in her eyes for the moment he mentioned that horrible memory was a clear sign to say she had never really gotten over how terrible it was. She may not of had those feelings for him obviously, but that sure didn't mean she didn't care about him still as a friend. The fact made her even more proud that she had been acting as a spy, they deserved some troubles of there own! "They do a far better job at saving this planet then ShinRa will ever do, they will only destroy it. "
Then, Desmond went ahead and said that...most shocking piece of information. He was always one to speak his mind ,but wow, she never would have expected that! Cissnei was now blushing madly. The only unfortunate thing was, now she would be wondering just when he actually planned to ask her! Then again, there was Diana and the most recent daughter of the future she had only actually seen twice so far.Desmond however, likely didn't even know of her existence and she was told not to mention her, as to not take out any surprise. As if that mattered! "W-Well! ..." Desmond had flattered her into silence, how was she to react! Maybe she really did need to spend more time with people!
"Aren't you the romantic.." Elena had to say, her tone clearly sarcastic!
"I plan to! " If he really thought he would manage to keep her away, he had another thing coming! The same would go for Zack, of course. She had her plans and idea's, and was certain to be staying.

  Yuffie Kisaragi   Suddenly Zack would feel someone grab his wrist as he was walking, and pull him off to the side. She may be small and a skinny runt to most people, but this girl did have a good deal of strength in her, she would make a pretty awful ninja if she didn't! So, that meant Zack was coming with her rather he liked it or not. "Hey..Listen, Don't take what Cloud said to hard. He may an @ss sometimes, but I think after this is over, he's going to realize how wrong he was in his choice of words against everyone. He loves you guys too, so, uh..." She rubbed the back of her neck some, Yuffie was never good with these kind of sensitive talks, but for Zack, it was worth trying. " Just give him time.." She paused, why was this so hard to say? "...Maybe...After it's all over...Everyone can come together again..as friends..And for good reason, rather then a bad one every time. What do you think? "

Ruluf "...How odd. Cissnei of all people doubting ShinRa. I don't blame you, but I remember you were probably the most loyal Turks out of all of us, save for maybe Tseng." It was an interesting. She had always stood behind ShinRa, but Zack's killing had shaken all their faiths in the company, but Cissnei had been closer to him than any of them. Maybe that had started it.
His arms still crossed, Ruluf just raised an eyebrow. "How amusing. I never thought it would actually happen. In any case..." He uncrossed his arms finally, nodding. "Neither of you saw us, understood?" Then he looked at Elena. "Come on. We're returning to base. Rufus and Tseng will want to hear about this "Beast."""That's assuming there's a home to come back to. If everyone doesn't go on the ARK, we'll be short a lot of friends." Zack said to Yuffie. "You're staying, I'm guessing. I hope you change your mind, but for now, we have to go." He said conclusively, before turning back to the group of the ARK-goers. "...Alright everyone. I guess it's time to head out. Giovanni should have sent someone to take us to their base..." (( OoC: ))

- Cissnei - "That is true, and even still it feels strange to me to be so against what they are doing. I wish it was like it used to be, but I suppose that is only a dream now. Also, Ruluf, Thank you for still being a friend..I don't want to ever become you or the other's enemies.." That did include the blond headed Turk there, but she would never say. They were and hopefully always would be considered her family, and that wasn't just due to growing up in the ShinRa building.
"Right, right..Be careful.." Cissnei said, before Elena just kind of nodded her head to Ruluf, already starting on her way without another word to the two.
"Has Cloud ever really lost a battle he got into? " She had to go ahead and say. "Or any of the others? We should give him a little more credit..I don't know why, but I believe we will make it.." Yuffie then turned away with a small sigh, this was just so messed up. Even Zack seemed dead..It made her more uncomfortable to see that. He was always the one to encourage people,make them laugh even when times were down.
Turning back again, she had to look around some, those who were going was quite a bit, but it didn't take long for her to spot Stark out of them, and hurry over before he left.. "You are really going, then? Okay...If you come back, if you choose to...I'm going to stay in Aerith's house. Go there, okay? " She kind of refused to stay at the mansion, it just didn't feel right after everyone had been literally kicked out of it. Aerith was just nice enough to let her stay there while she stayed at the mansion.."Can you at least call me every few hours and everyday? " Yuffie wasn't good with this sappy kind of stuff, it wasn't in her blood. Besides that, she was not planning on losing this fight and fully believed to be coming out of it alive with everyone. There was no need to get emotional!

Stark Liler "A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."   "It is the only logical decision," Stark said to his wife's question. "Avalanche can't win this fight. I've been over it time and time again in my head. Factoring in our powers, MAYBE we could win, but without them? There's no way. All those who don't board the ARK will die. I'm not going to let you die, just so you know." Whatever that meant, he didn't say. Whether she liked it or not, Stark intended to make sure sh was on that ARK when the BEAST came. "But yes, I'll keep in contact. Don't worry."
Meanwhile, a giant helicopter came to a landing a bit in front of the mansion, and one of the Cerberus members held out a hologram device, Giovanni's image appearing over it. "I'm glad to see that you don't want to die, Zack. ...Hmm? This isn't all of Avalanche."
"Not everyone is on board with the idea..."
"Understandable," He said, taking a puff of his cigarette. "It's a lot to take in, after all. In time, though, I hope they'll come to see that the ARK is the only logical way to go. For now, all of the ones who are coming aboard the ARK can come to the Cerberus Base of Operations. We have living quarters for all of you."
"I guess that works," Zack said with a light shrug. Seeings as they weren't allowed at the mansion anymore apparently, that worked out for the best. "Everyone, let's get in," Zack said, motioning everyone into the large helicopter, that could easily fit them all. He stepped in first, offering his hand to help anyone who needed it. "Help any kids in..." He directed them.  (( OoC: ))

Yuffie Kisaragi    "You only think this because of what everyone is saying about this so called Beast. It's brain washing! I don't believe it! You don't know what the results will be, no one does. We have a chance to save the world again, and it will be done. And no, Stark. I don't know what you think you have planned to keep me out of this when it does start, but I promise you it won't work. What honor would there be in fleeing when my friends are in danger? I won't watch them die. I'm going to keep them alive by fighting that cursed thing, and using the materia. It WILL work! All we need is materia to heal, and this will be a battle just like Sephiroth. Completely insane,but we'll all pull through because we stuck with each other.. " So, that was what she thought, anyway. "I'm serious, Stark. No tricks. No teleports..I know you've been working on something like that! "
Meanwhile, as the helicopter landed in front of the mansion, those outside, mostly the ladies that decided it was best to go due to not having the skills needed to fight, kind of stood back away from the helicopter.Only when Zack motioned them to board, did they begin to do so..

Cloud Strife "There's not a thing I don't cherish!"  "..." Cloud sighed, turning away from the group still gathered at the mansion as the other half of Avalanche boarded the helicopter. Placing his hands on a bar, he contemplated his choices. "...Thank you all for staying..." He said, troubled. "..."
"...What's wrong, Cloud?" Jake asked, as it was obvious something was troubling him.
"...We can't win..."
"Cloud-"
"Half of us are gone," He said, turning to face everyone. "Including Zack, Stark and Roy, some of our best fighters. We can't win.... without them."
"...What are you suggesting?"
"..." He thought for a moment. "....We have to.... we have to destroy the ARK."
"Cloud, I don't know-"
"It's our only chance," he said decisively, and dismissively, towards Cecil. "If we destroy the ARK they'll have to alongside us. Then maybe we can win. Someone needs to follow them. Yuffie?" He called out, though he didn't realize she was outside seeing her husband off. "...Did she run with the cowards, too?"
"...I'll do it..." Came a voice from the corner, that of Yugi's, as he stood there with his arms crossed. He had gone rather unnoticed thus far, on purpose. His face was turned away from the group as he talked, not seeming to be in his typical pleasant mood. "I'll stowaway on the ship. I'll find this ARK. Then we can destroy it."
"...Alright," Cloud said, glancing around. "I don't suppose there are any other ninjas here. Go ahead. Let us know. I'll gather an assault force."
Yugi only nodded, stepping off the wall and exiting the mansion.  (( OoC: ))

- Neptune Wolve -    Just then, the doors of the mansion literally slammed against ether side of the wall as they were shoved open. Sometimes, Neptune could really forget her strength when she was railed up like this. For anyone thinking it might be a intruder, or enemy, there worries would be able to be eased by the high-pitched, energetic voice of one teenage girl as she rushed into the living room-- With her new red-haired friend Calico. "I MADE IT! ...Wait....did I..? There's like a hundred people outside going on some crazy death machine. .....Uh...." Neptune blinked, looking now at each of there rather gloomy faces. "..Er....So, I guess i'm a LITTLE late..Who get's the job to explain what I've missed so far?! "
She asked, before glancing back behind her to her new friend.She had to introduce her to the group, too. "So sue me if the timing is off, but this is my new friend, Calico. Quite the fighter, too.I told her about Avalanche, uh, I figure we need more on our side...so....That's okay, right? "
"I can make destroying it easier for you, without harming anyone inside.." Came Azura's voice, as she only shortly ago returned back to the mansion from her breif break. "I can create a watery grave just for it, the pressure I can control, if I increase it enough it will fall apart. Those inside will be protected by my special barrier.." Which meant, nothing could penetrate it, and they would still have air to breath. That is, if he trusted her enough with this plan..
While Azura was so easy to go with this idea, others were quite shocked Cloud had even suggested such a thing, even if it was probably true..

Rose Strife "You must be pretty impressed by me; after all, I can only do everything."   "Ugh, Neptune...." Came the rather condescending voice of a girl who had recently talked about how stupid staying would be... and yet here she was. "I'll... what??" Rose asked, rather defensively, when people gave her questioning looks. "D-don't think I'm staying because of my sister or anything! I just think that a world with no monsters would be boring! That's all!" She was way too defensive, but then that wasn't too surprising to anyone who knew her. "Ahem! A-anyway, I'll explain to you what happened, Neptune. Just t-e-l-l m-e a-t a-n-y p-o-i-n-t i-f I n-e-e-d t-o s-l-o-w d-o-w-n f-o-r y-o-u. I know how stupid you are." And so the girl began to explain, in small words, for Neptune's sake, what happened...
"Let's wait until we have more information about the thing before we decide what to do," Cloud said blankly to Azura. "...If I need you, I'll tell you." He said that in a way that wasn't exactly mean, but it would almost shut her down so that she wouldn't try to suggest anything again. He felt like he had this under control, and didn't need suggestions from his followers...  (( OOC: ))

- Neptune Wolve - Neptune gave a look to Rose, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. She really couldn't say anything to her first bit of words, due to not catching how she was so against staying. Her irritated look had increased a great deal, though, as Rose began to make fun of her in such a way! It took everything to not jump at her right then, instead, she sat there listening to her explain...And, as to be expected, Neptune didn't take much thought to it. At least nothing completely serious. "...Really? Um....You guys defeated that Sephiroth guy, the world was saved by a METEOR for crying out loud! What is the big fuss over one stupid 'Beast' that we can take out if we all got together to kick it's rear!?? You can't possibly be afraid of this thing! Ugh...I'd go over there and give it a piece of pain myself if I knew where it was..! "
