FFVII Citadel MB > RolePlaying Area > The End of Blue Shinra Author Reeve posts: 394 (12/14/00 12:29:26 am) The End of Blue Shinra Yuffie, still bound and gagged, lies in a corner of the war room. The Blue SOLDIER and the Moogle left hours ago. The Force Stealer stands propped up against the wall. Reeve and Yuffie are the only people in the room. The fighting rages on outside. Reeve closes his eyes and draws a deep breath. He speaks one word: "Elena." His life was forever changed in the past two weeks, before the package from Midgar arrived and drove him to madness. Her golden hair, her bright blue eyes, her wry smile... all of it was now threatened. Because of him. Reeve picked up the massive sword and walked toward Yuffie. Her face was red, and her eyes puffy, from all of the tears that were streaming down her face. He couldn't do it. He couldn't bring himself to kill her, one of his greatest threats. Reeve's thoughts turned to Tseng, and how he tortured the young girl now before him. Tseng, who's madness was never fully explained. Reeve thought of Saber, and of all the men and women of Blue Shinra who trusted him, who thought him to be a great leader, and an innovative one as well. Their loyalty to the company they helped him build... now it was all for naught. Reeve thought of his adversaries, particularly Sephiroth. In one of his last conversations with Cid Highwind, the pilot noted that Reeve's recent madness was not unlike that which Sephiroth fell under when he learned the true nature of the Jenova project. Reeve then thought of Jenova's Room, when he made the speech that led to the creation of Blue Shinra. That room... how it has doomed so many... Reeve thought of his former employer, President Shinra, and of his sometimes ally BlueJay. Never really liked those guys, though there were times when they meant well, particularly BlueJay. I guess none of us is above suspicion, nor beneath it. Reeve thought of Godo, and the original war between the Samurai Clan and the Ninja Clan. Ryoga had lost honorably, and yet still persisted in his pursuit of what was always told to him was his birthright: the kingdom of Wutai. Even now, a bloody world war has initiated just because a little shread of truth had come to light. Reeve thought, What have I done? There was nothing wrong with my life until that box arrived. In fact, my life was wonderful. And I blew it. Reeve set aside the Force Stealer and drew out an elaborate ornamental sword; the sword of the Amano Clan, of his ancestors. Reeve kneeled, preparing himself for an honorable death. Reeve: To atone for my sins, I give myself to the Planet. Reeve plunged the blade into his chest. Yuffie screamed through her gag. Reeve: Elena... you'll never know... how much I... Reeve never finished his last statement; he was dead.
