"See for yourself," Selphie said proudly taking the folder out from within her jacket. "This is what you wanted, right?" She was excited but probably more excited about the appraisal and reward.
Sukuya climbed carefully onto the Aeon. She didn't want to hurt it and possibly anger the creature. "That's probably best," She said nodding to Noctis.

Arbalas nodded and climbed onto Valefore's back with ease. "Let's go," she said patting his back. Quickly the bird dove once more from the tall window and practically glided down towards the fountain after circling the tall building on its descent. Finally it landed near the fountain, where a third person had appeared. Before Valefore even had a chance to attempt to shake the passengers off, Arbalas climbed off, pulling Sukuya along with her. "Hurry up and get that Noctis person. I don't need another death on me," she said patting the bird and sending it off towards the building once more. "Poor thing has to be getting tired," Arbalas said quietly, shaking her head.
Sephiroth look down at the folder and finally accepted it. Slowly he began to flip through the papers, scanning for a name. He never found it though. He gave a glance towards Selphie and Zezuke before starting to sift through the papers once more. It was then Sephiroth realized that one of the profiles kept within the folder had no name. "Name," he read aloud quietly. "Information deleted. Age, deleted. Looks like they're attempting to erase things," he muttered as he continued down the paper. "Number, five hundred five - surprising they didn't get rid of that." Sephiroth fell silent for a moment until he found what he was looking for. "Location...Nibelheim? The ShinRa Manor?" He barely held back his laugh as he shook his head. "Now that's amusing," he muttered shaking his head slowly.
He looked up towards the two. "A job well done," he said giving them a nod, now handing the folder back to them. "I suppose a reward would be in order?" He asked quietly, hardly believing he was playing along with this idea. "Here you are," Sephiroth said holding out a rather large bundle to the two. "Six thousand gil, a few elixers and ethers," he said simply enough. "Plenty more where that came from if you're willing to do a second job," he said quietly as he fetched a folded thick piece of paper from his pocket. "I'm sure you could imagine what it is." Sephiroth paused as the odd bird came by the fountain once more, delievering two more people and flying off once more.

Noctis saw the bird flying back towards the building,he had no time to waste. He quickly made the weapons go into a tornnado type thing slashing all guards stomachs. The weapons then returned to his side and hid themselves as he jumpped from the building.He then used the last of his MP to teleport to the Aeons back."Lets get going." He told the Aeon.
Zezuke was suprised by the reward and then looked back at Sephiroth."Whats the second mission then?"

Valefore screeched loudly as Noctis landed on his back. He gave a couple of sharp flaps of his wings in order to stay in the air. Valefore glanced onto his back and towards Noctis, seemingly somewhat annoyed. Finally the bird dove down and returned to the fountain where he shook off Noctis.
"Oh, thank you," Arbalas said hugging Valefore quickly only for him to coo. "You can go get some rest now." The aeon nodded and after its summoner had backed away, flew into the clouds above, fading away from sight.
Sephiroth was distracted for a moment or so as the bird returned and its apparent master sent it away. "Well, now that it seems your entire group has gathered," he said looking at the rather odd group which had assembled. "A trip to Nibelheim, more specifically, the ShinRa Mansion on the outskirts of town to get my friend out of there." Sephiroth held up a folded piece of paper and a sealed envelope in front of him, as if to keep it out of their reach for now. "I have the latest map which can show you the way, and a letter for her. What do you say? Do you accept?"

"Yes sir!" Selphie said making a quick salute and an even quicker grab for the envelope.
"This guy again?" Sukuya asked. Though the reward he had given the two others was nice.

"Excellent. I expect that letter to get to her sealed," Sephiroth said allowing Selphie to take both the map and envelope. "Pull this off and you'll get a better reward than last time," he said starting to turn away from the duo. "Take your troupe and get going. It should only take you a couple of days, if that, to get to Nibelheim." Without even a proper farewell, Sephiroth left the two and their group behind as he disappeared down one of the many backstreets of Midgar. He had other things to do.
"Who was that?" Arbalas asked looking towards Sukuya as she seemed to know who the silver haired man was due to the way she simply spoke.

"I don't think he properly introduced himself to me," Sukuya said. "But I don't think he's up to good. I suppose it would be best to accompany them to find out?"
Selphie held the letter up to the light trying to read what was inside. "Do you think I can cast a spell on this to open it and then make it look like nothing happened?" She thought out loud.

"I wouldn't advise that," Arbalas called over towards Selphie having heard her. "I guess since we have nothing better to do anyways," she muttered towards Sukuya as she approached Selphie and Zezuke. "Don't you two at least owe us a thanks?"

Noctis stared at everyone.He wasn't used to being around this many people;except his friends back in his world.He wondered if he could consider any of these people his friends.He turned and walked away from the group.He walked untill he reached a far away bench where he could think.
"Sweet!" Zezuke cried out as he pocket the gil and items.He then turned to see all the people who had gathered.He looked at the one speaking to them and answered. "Thanks.Anyways Selphie don't open it.Also do you think we should take these people with us?"

"Sure," She said. "We can add them to the party. The more the merrier!"
"I think I'm going to kill you before the day is over," Sukuya said glaring at her. Why was she THAT perky?

Arbalas glanced over her shoulder towards Noctis, slightly surprised he had not said anything only to watch him wander off. Oh well, he must have had other things to do or something. "Oh calm down," Arbalas said waving her hand towards Sukuya. "It's nice to have a cheerful person around. Better then being around people as dull as corpses." While Tonberries could be amusing on occasions, they tended to be boring most of the time - they were so dull at points. "So, where are we going exactly?"

Noctis tried diggin through his memories fro something.He remember being with his friends,driving home,killing the people who were trying to steal the crystal,and a battle with a girl....
Zezuke looked over to see Noctis sitting on a bench a couple of yards away."Someone go get him,we need all the people we can get." He then turned to Arabalas. "I have no clue where we're going. A place called Nibelheim."

Arbalas shook her head slowly. "Never heard of it," she said giving a sigh. Quietly she turned around and stared towards Noctis. Should they really drag him along? Might as well invite him she figured. Before she wandered on over towards him, she adjusted her small lantern and hung it on one of the hooks on her staff, securing it so it would not fall. She walked over towards Noctis and leaned over somewhat she her head was level with his.
"You going to come with us? I mean, I'm sure we're all going to be wanted now for how many people were killed."

Selphie approached him as well. "Yeah," She said. "And you can use that sword thingy to protect us."
"It's their fault we're wanted in the first place," Sukuya said crossing her arms. "So why are we following them to MORE trouble?"

"Hm?" Arbalas turned back to face Sukuya and tilted her head somewhat. "Well. There has to be a reason why we were all brought together. Maybe we're key to helping each other find who or what they're looking for," she siad quietly tilting her head back up right. "Nobody said you had to come. I just figured why not?I've nothing better to do. To be honest, you don't seem to have anything else to do either."
