Author Reeve posts: 318 (11/26/00 10:57:57 am) On the Day of the Execution... It's a bright, sunny morning in Nibelheim when Reeve steps out of the Shinra Mansion. A weary, yet calm expression is on his face as he walks down into the crowd below. The crowd parts as he reaches the front gate. Saber is there, waiting for him; as are Cloud, Lord Godo, and Sephiroth, who are all lined up against the brick wall, unarmed and defenseless. Saber: Good luck. Reeve: Thanks Reeve looks into the crowd. People and news crews from all over the world have come to witness this spectacle. Out of the corner of his eye, Reeve sees a man in a dark suit, standing in the nearby mountain passes. The man's cold, dark eyes connect with Reeve's for a brief moment. Reeve breaks away from the man's gaze and addresses the crowd: Reeve: As many of you may well know, a terrorist named Tseng blew up the Gold Saucer last week. In order to prevent any more attacks, I have agreed to his demands and thus, will personally execute the three warriors you see before you. A disclaimer: all three of these gentlemen fully understand the situation and have volunteered their lives so that the East Continent, and perhaps even the world, may be spared. Thank you. The camera crews focus even tighter on Reeve as Saber hands him the Force Stealer. As Reeve draws the blade, the crowd falls silent. Reeve closes his eyes for a meditative moment, focusing. He then opens them, and immediately charges forward, plunging the Force Stealer into Cloud's chest. Cloud flinches as Reeve pulls the blade back. Reeve delivers the mortal blow and Cloud collapses. Godo is horrified. "You know, Reeve, I'm starting to have second thoughts...Quick change!" But before Godo gets the chance to morph, Reeve attacks. As Godo falls to his knees, Reeve stabs him in the back. Godo collapses. Sephiroth has been watching these proceedings with a mix of shock and admiration. "Really, Reeve, I never knew you had it in you." Reeve replies, "Yeah, funny how people can suprise you like that." Reeve swings the blade at Sephiroth's neck, decapitating him. Reeve turns back to the crowd. Reeve: Tseng, if you're out there, the deed is done. Meet me in the ballroom. ONE HOUR LATER... The three bodies lay on the floor of the Mansion's ballroom, covered with a white sheet. Reeve sits on the piano stool, his suit stained with blood. The Force Stealer stands propped up against the side of the stool. Reeve gazes at the sheet, his mind in another place. Without warning, Tseng enters the room. Reeve stands up and looks him straight in the eye. Reeve: So we meet again. Tseng is silent. He examines the bodies beneath the sheet, nodding and smiling cryptically. He picks up the head of Sephiroth with an evil look of amusement. Reeve walks up to him as Tseng places the head back under the sheet. Reeve: The Huge Materia? Tseng hands over the satchel he is carrying. Reeve quickly dismantles one of the Materia Bombs and pulls out the yellow Huge Materia. It shines brighter and more vividly than the fake ones found in Cosmo Canyon some months ago. Reeve quickly examines the other two devices and smiles. The lives of millions have now been spared. Reeve nods. (that's the signal...) SUDDENLY...! Sephiroth, the REAL Sephiroth, drops down behind Tseng and puts him in a hold. Cloud drops down to Tseng's right and points the Ultima Weapon at him. Saber bursts in and binds Tseng's wrists and ankles in Mythrill cuffs. From inside the grand piano, Yuffie pops out and quickly frisks Tseng, collecting a couple of weapons, a Tetra Elemental, and about a dozen mastered Materia orbs. Yuffie takes out her shuriken and presses the sharp edge into Tseng's chest. Yuffie: Now let's see how YOU like it! Reeve: Come now, none of that. Can you look at these Huge Materias for me? Yuffie reluctantly pulls her shuriken away and examines the three large crystals. Yuffie: Yep! These are definately the ones I stole from Cosmo Canyon! Yuffie hands the bag back to Reeve and runs out of the room to meet her father, alive and well, in the greenhouse upstairs. With the Masamune blade still at his throat, Tseng angrily lashes out at the calm Reeve. Tseng: What the hell's going on here? How did you-- Reeve: In a word: Phoenix. Tseng: ...Clones? Reeve: (nods) Tseng: YOU BASTARD! I SHOULD'VE KNOWN!!! Reeve: Yep, had to steal some papers from Midgar to pull it off, but it was for a good cause. Saber, the serum, if you will... Saber plunges a syringe needle into a vein on Tseng's left arm. Almost immediately, Tseng rolls his eyes and loses conciousness. Sephiroth loosens his grip on Tseng, allowing him to drop to the floor. Reeve: Place him in Vincent's chamber and lock him up. He will stay there until I bring him out for questioning. Saber and Cloud carry the limp form of Tseng downstairs while Sephiroth and Reeve head to the front door of the Mansion, to tell all those present what has transpired. ---------- Saber posts: 80 (11/26/00 11:46:33 am) Poor Tseng... (Saber and Cloud are walking past the Mansion door when suddenly the press runs towards it. They are looking threw the window) Saber: Keep your head down Cloud its the Media. Cloud: Awww. Man (Saber pulls out his recently made hatchet and shines it at the window. The Reporters stumble backwards.) Reeve: Saber... Saber: (Whispers) That took care of them. (The two continue down into the secret chamber.While Sephroith and Reeve continue towards the front door.) Cloud: Awww..Man this place is still pretty creepy. Saber: Gottta Agree with that. (Cloud and Saber place Tseng's body into the coffin that Vincent was originally in.) Saber: Where's the tools? Cloud: One Sec (Cloud searches around and pulls off a coffin top) Cloud: There we go. (Cloud takes one and beings nailing in the coffin doors. Saber does the same on the other side. The two finish the job and head out. Locking the door on the way. They head up stairs near the ballroom when they look in some doctors are surronding a man.) Doctor: Mech can you hear me? Mech: ........ Doctor: I think he's gone into a coma. Fly him to Mideel! Reeve: I'll ready a plane. Edited by: Saber at: 11/26/00 11:54:15 am ---------- Darwin posts: 279 (11/26/00 3:24:55 pm) Good work Reeve! Took the obvious path, I see. I don't blame you. It's exactly what I expected, and I couldn't have done it better myself. So, I guess I'm done in this RP, but I look forward to the one on the new site! Hasta! Darwin Delantri ---------- Reeve posts: 319 (11/26/00 3:54:18 pm) Good work Reeve! Darwin: Was it really that obvious? Of course, none of this could've been possible without the help of Saber, Sephiroth, and Jung. Excellent work, gentlemen! Reeve, President, Blue Shira Utility Company ---------- Saber posts: 85 (11/26/00 8:04:28 pm) WHooHoo! it was my idea =P ---------- BlueJay posts: 828 (11/27/00 11:31:52 pm) Re: WHooHoo! Excellent!
