Another way

Evangeline sat still. The bar had an unususal atmosphere to it, but she was unduly worried. As the rest of the members retired to bed, Evangeline stayed downstairs. In one of the booths, she sat crossed legged, laying Ascalon and Sidewinder on the table before closing her eyes in a powernap.
 
'' Bacardi huh ..'' Ryoko thought while he had walked in the darkness for quite a while. Soon, he stopped, in front of a huge hotel, called Bacardi's stay.

'' That won't be easy ...'' He muttered and smashed down the beautiful glass door. A guard staying near another door was able to make a smile on his face and open his mouth, but before any sound came out from it, the sound of slashing sword came. A head fell down, spilling out blood to everywhere.

'' Sorry ...'' Ryoko said quietly and walked towards a statue next to a wall. He touched the face softly and told:

'' Bacardi's finest!'' His voice was quite loud but the sound that the statue made was even louder. A wall behind it disappeared. Ryoko smiled to himself and entered the dungeon behind it. After a moment, the wall reappeared behind Ryoko.
 
As Stephen and tifa lay on his bed Stephen looked down, still with tears rolling down her face she looked up at him "hey" stephen whispered with a small smirk on his face. Tifa let out a small giggle and then replied with a "hey" Stephen kissed her gently on the forehead. "I miss him already" she muttered "I know you do" Stephen replied as he wiped the tears away from her eyes "But don't worry, he is in a better place now, without the tyrany that is the Shinra corporation" Tifa rested her head on Stephen's chest "I hope your right Ste, I hope your right" She said as she started to drift off to sleep.
 
Ryoko had moved trough the dungeons, which were similar to a big maze, for quite a while now, when he finally stopped.

'' Why did you hide yourself?'' Ryoko whispered. There was no answer. It seemed as he was talking with air.

'' You do know ... that I did come for Bacardi, not for you?'' Ryoko told again, now with much more louder voice. Then, a mutant like creature appeared in front of him. His skin was dark brown, his face was mutated and his mouth was filled with long and sharp teeth.

'' I do know ... but master ...'' He told with his fraughty and weak voice.

'' He is not your master ... you don't have to listen to him, Madoz.'' Ryoko told with straight voice and unseated his blade.

'' I don't want to fight with you.'' He muttered. The beast looked in the eyes of Ryoko and jumped back.

'' He left to Shinra headquarters, searches for something ... for an experiment.'' The beast mutttered. Ryoko smiled and turned around.

'' Thank you Madoz, your dad would be happy.'' Ryoko's voice was somehow happy as well. The beast sighed and sat in to darkness.

'' See you nephow.'' The voice was still weak and tired, but it now had a tone of happiness in it.

OOC: Ryoko is heading sometime to Shinra HQ, want to accompany him ? Like next morning or something.
 
((OOC: tell xander, he will join you on the rampage, he wont let any of the others go with him though, he doesnt want anyone else to die for him))
 
OOC: Okay, will be done :)

IC:
Ryoko was slowly walking down the street, towards the train station. He knew where he had to go and what he had to do. But first, he needed someone to assist him, as getting trough the security system of Shinra will require at least 2 people. So, he was heading back to 7th heaven, to inform Xander. The moment he stepped to the ground before train station, a train came. He quickly run on to it and sat down, taking out his blade and investigating it. It had ancient, but still beautiful carvings on it. It shined as well.
After staring it for minute or two, the train stopped. He was there, quickly stood up and turned around, heading towards the exit. He stepped out and seated his sword. Quickly he started moving towards 7th heaven. It was quite quiet, only few guys hanging out.
The moment he made his way towards the door of 7th heaven, he drunk a potion. Next eye blink, he had disappeared. Soon, he was sitting next to Xander in the bar, still being invisible. He then whispered to Xander to let him know about his presence.

'' Xander, I am heading to Shinra corp HQ soon and thought that you may want to join me. If you do, come to Bacardi hotel in upper Midgar 5.00 a.m. Oh, and take others as well, if you wish.'' Ryoko's voice told from nowhere to Xander. He stood up and Xander might have spotted the movement of air.

((OOC: tipsy or seph, one of you guys/both of you hear me leave so you can choose what to do after that.))

Fayd nearly spilt his drink when he heard ryoko. Even though he had heard footsteps and ryokos voice he turned to see nothing. Then when ryoko had finished talking fayd noticed te air move. 'Invisibility' Fayd thought to himself. He decided to take noone with him he wanted a blaze of glory to go down in and he couldnt let anyone step in the line of fire. Fayd tipsily stomped up to his rom to pick up his katana
((Sephs chance to hear me))
And headed back down, on his way out he closed the door a little too hastily
((Tipsys chance))
He turned and saw the gleams of sunrise forming on the outskirts. Fayd fired up Ragnarok ((A Chance for both of you to figure out who it was who had just left))
and drove to the meeting place
 
Stephen heard Fayd's Stomps up the stairs and looked towards his door, he heard Fayd enter the room next door and grab his Katana's. everything went quiet and around a minute later he heard Ragnarok fire up and drive away "whats he up to" Stephen thought out loud, causing Tifa to awaken from her slumber. "whats wrong?" she asked "Xander just left" Tifa sat up looking worried "we have to go after him" she said in a worried tone. Stephen nodded and climbed off the bed, Tifa did the same.

The couple got ready and headed down stairs, as Stephen strode through the bar he looked at evangeline "I'm going after Xander" he announced as he pulled his keys out of his pocket and threw them to Barret "Stay here, keep the pub running" he announced as Tifa strode through behind him. Tifa and Stephen headed outside and mounted Hades. Stephen fired up the engine and followed xander's tire treads.
 
Hmph, aren't you a bit too loud in the morning? Evangeline thought as her eyes shot opened. Flicking both Ascalon and Sidewinder back into First Tsurugi, she slipped the great sword into the harness. As always, she had no bike, but her own speed should suffice...or jacking the bike the few street down. Within seconds, the bike putted to life before she revved it up and sped after the others.
 
Fayd parked the bike outside the hotel and waited for ryoko to show up. He lit a cigarette and drank from his hip flask. Then continued to smoke. He only hoped ryoko wasnt still invisible
 
Stephen knew where he was, as did Tifa, Stephen figured if he was meeting someone then the meeting would take place at the Becardi hotel as it was very public and un-suspicious.

Stephen decided to leave Hades parked around the corner. Both him and Tifa dismounted and walked towards the corner, Stephen glanced around and smiled as he saw Xander taking a swig from his hip flask. He leant against the wall, still hidden around the corner. he looekd at Tifa and smiled "and now we wait" Stephen muttered as he looked at Tifa.

"are you jelous of Xander?" Tifa asked in a gentle tone causing to smile "why would i be, i have a great Girl friend, i like my life, and my quest to find the Master summon materia is going well" he informed her, causing her to smile "how long have you been chasing that materia?" Tifa asked "only 6 months" he muttered as he took another look for Xander, who still hadn't dismounted his bike
 
The piece of trash Evangeline jacked was no match in comparison to the other two bike. It fell apart just short of Bacardi. It didnt matter in any case as she wanted to head in on foot. The bike putted so loudly she was surprised that no one had tried to stop her. Around Bacardi, there were buildings that were dark and shady. The perfect type to hide in. As always, Evangeline picked one with three levels and climbed her way to the top. That way, she had an unrestricted view of everything. From her position, she easily spotted Xander with his Buster sword. Stephen and Tifa, she almost missed, but managed to catch them at the corner. Lets see what transpires from this sneaking...
 
Ryoko had been dealing with many things for all morning, as attacking Shinra need some serious preparations. He payed to every guard he knew, so that they wouldn't go to work today, also he used his connections to make sure that they can enter the building safely. When he finally was ready, he headed to Bacardi, which normally was quite populated in the mornings, but now it wasn't. After all, Ryoko had attacked the building in night.
The moment he stepped out from an small alley, he spotted Xander popping a cigarette in front of the hotel. But no-one spotted him, as he was invisible once again. Slowly he walked trough the street, noticing some shadows here and there hiding in darkness, to avoid being discovered by Xander. He insantly stopped every time, when he had made sound, so that he would prevent anyone knowing about his presence. Sometimes, he liked to seem as mysterious guy.
After half a minute, he was there, standing a meter away from Xander. Slowly, he sat down slowly, without making any sound, and took out a cigarette. He fired it with his bare hands and started smoking. He looked up and saw the surprised face of Xander, as only thing others could see, was the cigarette floating in the air and smudge slowly moving from the cigarette towards Xander. Ryoko managed to make a smile on his face and opened his mouth:

'' So, I see you are here. Nice to know, but I have to tell you, this isn't a easy mission. After all, it's Shinra HQ.'' He told it quiet enough to avoid it making it's way to Steph's or Evangiline ears. He then waited for Xander to react and continued:

'' First, we will loan some stuff from Bacardi's warehouse.'' Ryoko muttered and stood up. Xander probably spotted the cigarette moving towards the hotel entrance.

'' Don't talk a single thing before we make our way to the point where I will reappear.'' Ryoko told while the cigarette almost vanished, only a little bit of it top remained, so Xander could know where to go. He passed some Soldier units investigating the attack from earlier and headed towards the stairs. From there on, he went down, towards the dungeons. After half a minute of walking, the cigarette reappeared, as it was quite dark there.

'' Just in case ... don't want you to be left behind.'' He mumbled and continued walking. They went trough of a complicated dungeon system, probably made to prevent robbers to find the warehouse. After few minutes of quick moving, Ryoko's body appeared out from nowhere, just the moment they made to a door.

'' Here it is!'' Ryoko told and threw the cigarette to a way behind him, to light it a bit. He thought that he had spotted someone there. He then knocked the door 4 times and then sighed:

'' Shinra, the unoriginal piece of shit!'' Ryoko's voice was quite irritating, but it did open the door. Then, some machine answered:

'' True it is, master Bacardi.'' Ryoko started laughing and turned the lights on in the room they were now. It was a huge, huge armory. Everywhere beautifully carved weapons, guns and other things. And there, on the other end of the room, was a beautiful locker, made from glass. A quite amazing collection of materia was there, besides some rare potions.

'' Okay, go ahead Xander, choose whatever you wish.'' His voice was quite loud. The moment he thinked he heard something, he turned around, but the dungeon behind him seemed to be empty.

'' This is were I get my invisibility potions. Mister Bacardi doesn't like to use weapons for most of the time, so he doesn't visit it much.'' Ryoko muttered and sat down. He took a glass and refilled it with a fine whisky, whose bottle had been near the entrance.

OOC: You can get geared up here if you wish :D There is probably some quite high quality stuff. Also, if Stephen and Evangelina followed us, it would be nice to show your presence, as other way, you will miss the items there ;)
 
Fayd had been shocked when the cigarette appeared, but he had expected as much. Fayd followed ryokos cigarette all the way to the warehouse. He kept hearing something behind him and so kept going for his katans, it wasnt until they reached the warehouse that he felt a little more at ease. He entered and looked around. Fayd nodded when he was told he could get what ever he wanted.
Fayd looked around until he spotted them, a new sword and a shinra class baton. Fayd picked them up and slid them on his back. Fayd then re-filled his hip flask with a bottle of whiskey which he drained of the remains afterwards and placed on the table. He Grabbed a new sword harness and shoulderguard. He picked up a gun from the corner and loaded it. then he heard another noise and turned to the door
((OOC: this is where either stephen, tifa or evangeline has slipped up and knocked something))
 
Ryoko smiled as he heard something, but he ignored it totally. He knew that those following them to the hotel probably might have followed them to here as well. He refilled his glass and continued drinking.
 
As Stephen and Tifa strode through the corridors, following Fayd, the entered the warehouse, Stehen noticed a new pair of gloves and as he walked towards them he caught one of the handles of a not so neatly stacked broken gun and it fell to the floor with a Tink.

Stephen glanced around and Saw Xander looking at him "Don't be so surprised man, we were not gunna let you go on a suicide mission on your own" Stephen announced "thats right, we are in this together" Tifa continued. Stephen smiled as he slid the gloves off of the shelf and looked at them, he smiled "these will do nicely" he announced as he slid off his rugby gloves and slid them on "are they the Ehrgeiz from that weapons magazine you have in your room?" Tifa asked, "Yes, this is them" Stephen replied as he threw a couple of punches in the air and re-equiped his materia.

Tifa on the other hand grabbed a few potions and also a pair of harder gloves to increase how much damage she could do with her punches. Stephen nodded at her, she nodded back and then Stephen looked to Xander "we are ready to go" he announced.
 
Ryoko was sitting still, without making any sound besides his gulping when taking some sips of whiskey. Then, he turned his head towards Tifa, when Stephen had announced he is ready to go. Ryoko smiled and stood up:

'' What about the other friend you had? '' Ryoko's voice was quite loud, so if Evangelina was still around, she might have heard it. Ryoko smiled to himself and offered a bottle of whiskey to Stephen.

'' Take a sip, it will make you warm from inside.''
 
Stephen looked at Ryoko and shook his head gently "I don't drink before i head into the shinra HQ" he announced "wouldn't want my judgement impared when im staring down the barrel of a gun becuase a certain someone in the party couldn't handle his boozin habbit" Tifa let out a girlish giggle "could get myself shot"
 
Xander had lowered his gun and took another drink from the bottle. When he heard the remark from stephen he turned away from the others and continued drinking ' i could've shot him, then he wouldnt make jokes, my judgement wasnt impaired, it wouldve been a smart thing to do, if i wasnt drinking, but seeing as i am its not.' Xander wasnt entirely angry at stephen, he was angry at himself because he was right, Xander did have a drinking habit, but he just couldnt give it up now. He grabbed a few potions and a couple of grenades. "...." fayd said as he turned to show that he too was ready. He finished off the bottle and put it down.
