Patrolling the slums. It was something everyone did at least once. From what he understood from what Reno told him even Turks first missions were to patrol sector 8 slums and all. And, seeing as to how he was now a third class Soldier, once more, he was back to patrolling the slums with a few actual missions here and there. He sighed, missing the action that came with being a second class. He shrugged and stopped to adjust his helmet a little, the long blond hair that was tucked inside was pinned din such a way that it was itchy. He ignored it for the sake of keeping his helmet on and not getting into trouble. He was pretty sure that Reno was around somewhere watching him, so he was safer to be itchy than to be outside of Shinra out of his uniform. Above the plate it had been raining, so it was probably lucky that he was told to patrol the slums rather than above, but below wasn’t much better. It was dark, dreary, people here hated Shinra more often than not and that was why they needed a patrol, to make sure that no anti-Shinra movements were being started. Danny shook his head and continued walking, rolling his shoulders to make sure that his Shinra issued sword was nestled neatly between the shoulder blades. The muted roll of thunder could be heard from above and several of the people around him looked up, with something of wonder in their eyes. Danny knew that most of these people had never seen the sky, so really couldn’t understand why the noise was being made. At least they were spared from the violent lashes of lightning that tore through the sky. As a child, that was what had frightening him the most. The appearance of the sky being cracked by a searing white light. He smiled at his past naiveté, how he had though that with every lightning strike demons were tearing out of the cracks from hell to infest the earth with their presence. He chuckled and shook his head, sighing at himself before continuing his patrol. |

Alice listened to the muted thunder when a beep from her pocket distracted her. It was very strange her pocket had never beeped before. So she stuck her hand in her pocket and produced a strange object. After a moment she realized it was her phone. So obviously the beep must have been telling her that she had a message. After a moment Alive remembered how to work the phone she discovered she had voice mail. It seemed odd but after a moments thought she listened to the voice mail. “Hey it’s Reno we say the explosion good work on the mission head back to the rendezvous point for extraction.” Alice listened to the message twice more. Alice checked the message’s date to find it was more than two weeks old. It was odd could it have been that the blank wall in her mind and the burning building were related. Alice shrugged thinking was not going to help her much. Then another beep drew her attention. This time it was a text message it read. “We know you are still alive but if you aren’t ready come back when you are able you know where to go.” It was again from the mysterious Reno. So Alice did what her curiosity drove her to she texted him back. “Who am I?” The message was simple but at the same time pertinent. After a moment a response came. “Oh geez you have amnesia no wonder you never came back.” A second message came shortly. “Wait for further contact from me don’t talk to anyone until then.” Alice glared at her phone in silence. |

Danny walked along the sidewalk, most of the civilians avoiding him, even though he was only third class. People knew that even third class Soldiers were stronger than normal humans and so avoided them, as they were doing. Danny sighed and wished that Reno, where ever he was, had at least chosen to walk with Danny rather than spy on him from a distance. That way Danny at least had someone to talk to. He shook his head and held his hands up in defeat, at a loss for what to do to help himself out of his boredom. He then put his hands on his hips and looked around himself, “alright let’s see… no anti-Shinra activity there… nope none there either… not there, not there…,” he sighed and shook his head. There hadn’t been any anti-Shinra activity in the slums for a long while. Avalanche activity had all been outside of Midgar as of late so Danny wasn’t sure what Shinra was so worried about. He dropped his hands from his hips and kept walking forward. There was so much more to do in the slums than look out for anti-Shinra activity. There were gangs to take care of, assassins to uproot, thieves, murderers, and rapists to beat to a bloody pulp but he was not authorized to do any of that. Danny sighed again but didn’t complain internally too much, otherwise karma might have him sent above the plate and into the rain for something even more tedious. It was then that he heard a beeping. He reached into his pocket and flipped open his phone but there were no messages on it. He heard the beep again and closed his phone, sticking it into his pocket and looking around. People in the slums were too poor to own cellphones, so it was a just basis to be curious. Maybe Reno was being an idiot and texting on the job or something. Danny decided to follow the sound and rat out the not-so-subtle Turk, but what he came upon was not Reno but a young woman. He tilted his head in confusion before approaching and saying, “excuse me miss, are you lost?” |

It was not long after the last message that another person showed up. When he asked her a question it was logical to respond but she had been told to speak to no one. Still it would be impolite not to respond. “Someone named Reno said I can’t speak to anyone until he contacts me again.” After that Alice put both hands over her mouth to show that she could not speak anymore. While it might have been imagined the sound of a hand striking a fore head came from a ways behind the SOLDIER. While she was holding her hands over her mouth a new text popped up from Reno. Alice turned the phone around to read it. “OK we are going to try and track the GPS chip in your phone do not leave the area. Some locals may be hostile defend yourself as best you can until Turk or SOLDIER assistance arrives.” Alice could not recall what a Turk was and she guessed SOLDIERS were like police men or army guys. She tapped a finger against her lip and tried to think it over when she remembered there was someone else present. She gave the person a long look as if to see if they were hostile or not. “You aren’t some weird demon bug that’s eats the souls of young girls are you.” Alice did not thing her luck was that bad but she had to check. |

Danny tilted his head to the side and watched the girl for a moment before saying, “well I’m a friend of Reno’s, so it might help if you talk to me,” however the girl had covered her mouth and was not going to say anything. Danny sighed slightly and looked the girl over to see if he recognized her from Shinra. He didn’t, and if anything she seemed like nothing more than a civilian, but if Reno had contacted her then it was obvious she was something more. When she spoke up again Danny was a little stunned and he gave out an uneasy laugh, “no I’m not a bug,” he said smiling. He looked around and then figured that if Reno hadn’t come out to address the girl himself then he must not be around. And as Reno was his sole supervisor that means we was not being watched, so he reached up and took off his helmet to let his long blond hair fall down and his blue eyes to smile at her, “see? Human.” Danny shifted the helmet to hold it under his arm and he extended his hand to her, “my name’s Danny, what’s yours?” Danny kept an ear out for anything that would give him warning to put his helmet back on. So far there was nothing, but better safe than sorry. |

Alice watched as the bug thing took off its head. It looked human and she had to smile when he had longer hair then she did. Then is stuck out its hand and Alice became worried what if it lied. That would be the thing a demon bug would do. In a burst of motion Alice reached out to grab the wrist of the bug demon thing and if she was able to grasp the wrist then she planned to spin sharply and use her momentum to throw the demon behind her. If that was successful then she would slide into the hand to hand combat stance of Shin-Ra. |

Danny smiled as the girl extended her own hand. The smile faded as she grabbed his wrist and chucked him as hard as she could. Danny was shocked to say the least and he hit the ground, bounced off and kicked his feet so that he flipped and landed upright. He quickly put his helmet on, not bothering to tuck his hair up inside. He looked at her as she got into a fighting stance and he shook his head and approached with his hands spread, not even reaching for his sword. “Hey now I don’t want to fight I just want to help you get out of the slums okay?” e wondered briefly how he would get rid of his own sword so as to appear less threatening but could think of nothing that wouldn’t seem like another threatening move. He sighed and dropped his hands and shook his head, reaching up and pinching his chin in thought before saying, “look, I’m a friend of Reno’s I work for Shinra, here’s my ID,” he reached into his back pocket and withdrew his wallet and began searching for his card. He took it out and flipped it around so that the picture was visible to her with the name ‘Daniel Summers’ typed up next to it in big, bold, black letters. “See? That’s me!” He smiled at her, the same exact smile as was in the picture. |

Alice made some pretense of looking over the id. It might be a body stealing demon that might explain why it looked human. Then like a light bulb appeared above her head she had an idea. Demons were unable to fight fair. So in her mind the perfect plan unfolded. “Ok I know how to prove if you are a demon or not. As everyone knows demons can’t fight fair it’s against their rules to fight fair. So I want you to fight me with only your bare hands. If you cheat I know you are a demon and I will call upon the goddess of ice to destroy you.” Alice settled into her combat stance which was not really her own but that of Shin-Ra. Once she was settled she took on a very determined expression on her face. “Your weapon toss it away since you won’t be allowed to use it.” That was a risk she felt but it might also answer the question rather quickly. If this Danny did prove to be human she would apologies to him. In her mind it was better safe than sorry. “I want you to go first.” It was polite since she issued the challenge after all. |

Danny nodded, glad that she had decided to have him disarm himself, “okay, I’ll drop it,” he said taking a step back and reaching up. He took the sword and unhooked it from his back and tossed it into an alleyway then held up his hands again to show that they were empty, “there, no more sword see? I don’t want to fight, at all really. You saw my ID don’t you believe I am who I say I am?” Danny’s instincts said to get into at least a defensive stance but he ignored then least any wrong movement translate as hostile in the girl’s mind. The girl also spoke strangely, like she was younger than she looked. It was very confusing to Danny but he didn’t dwell too long on it. If his mind was distracted and it did come to a fight he would lose in no time. He had to be on top of things. “So, what do you say? Trust me enough to give me your name or come with me back to the upper plate?” he hoped she would do something other than attack him, he was starting to miss the boring routine patrol that this mission was supposed to be.

It almost seemed that a large sweat drop floated down the side of Alice’s head. “Even I know an ID can be faked or stolen even from a third class SOLDIER. So just showing me an ID won’t do as proof.” Alice listened to the muted roll of thunder above. “Besides it’s storming up there and I don’t want to be rained on. As for my name I think its Alice I have no memory’s beyond two weeks ago so I can’t be sure.” Alice scuffed a foot on the ground trying to think of some way to either prove or disprove that he is human. Alice was focused on Danny that she did not notice that they were not alone. A group of rough looking men had gathered about them. From the smell it seemed they had not bathed in the last month if that recently. One of them nudged his buddy in the ribs. “Looks like we gots a couple a cute girlies to play with.” Alice was repulsed not just by the smell but their lack of judgment and likely poor eye sight. Three moved towards her but Alice did not feel like playing today so when the closest laid hands on her she brought her knee up sharply between his legs. When he dropped to his knees she drove her fist into his face. Quickly spinning she brought her heel up and about. The thug tried to dodge but Alice still caught the tip of his nose which began to bleed profusely. The third and likely the most stupid member of the group watched his friends fall to the ground and figured that the little girl could still not really hurt him he was after all bigger then her. Alice clasped her hands tightly together and brought them sharply upward to smash into the jaw of the man. As it would turn out a glass jaw and he joined to companions in the dirt. Alice looked at Danny once and stuck her tongue out at him while winking. “I guess if you are what you say you are then beating up these bozos is part of your job today.” |

Did he look like a girl? Danny didn’t think so. Sure he wasn’t the most bulky of men and he had long hair but he thought that his blatant lack of breasts would have been enough to know he was male. It was no matter though for as a few of the thugs closed in on him he caught one of their wrists and spun around his arm, bringing his elbow against the side of the man’s head. He then let go of his wrist and looked over at ‘Alice’ who was handling her own attackers. A hand went to his shoulder and Danny grabbed it and threw his weight forward, lifting the man off the ground and over his shoulder and smacked him onto the ground hard, letting go of his hand afterwards and turning to face the remaining group members. He took a step forward and raised his fists to guard his center then threw his fist against one man’s face too quickly for him to dodge. He then returned to his center and round-house kicked another man to the ground. That was three for Alice and four for him. Three were left. “You fight pretty well,” said Danny backing up closer to Alice, forgetting about her past doubts about him, “you must not be a civilian, what with the Turks wanting to retrieve you and you fighting like it was nothing special. You could be Soldier or Sentry. And no my job is to watch out for anti-Shinra activity--,” he stopped and did a double take at the woman as she made the face at him. He stuttered as she tried to say something then was suddenly caught with a stiff right hook and he went tumbling to the side. Thankfully his helmet had taken most of the blow. Danny stood up as quickly as he could and charged the men, grabbing one around the waist and throwing him against another one, a sudden desire to protect the woman had given him new strength and motivation. It was because he recognized that face, with the tongue out and the wink. It was his cousin Karen. |

Alice heard Danny stuttering before he took a hit. He seemed to be more fierce now but Alice did not really have time to pay attention. She was busy with her own thugs. She went to kick one but he grabbed her leg. Rather than worry she jumped and spun smashing her heel against the side of the thugs head. He realized her leg and Alice quickly rolled to one side and as she came up she brought her fist to meet the nose of the thug she had kicked in the nose earlier. He again fell back holding his nose. Alice turned quickly and again kicked another guy between the legs. A man quickly wrapped her up in his arms and was rewarded with a heel being smashed between his legs. He fell backwards and Alice used the guy on his hands and knees as a stepping stool to gain height. After stomping on his back she did an aerial round house kick to another thugs face. A thug with bright red hair and a rather nice suit strode towards Alice. It looked like he was about to say something when Alice jumped and planted both feet against his chest. He was sent rolling backwards and got up with an annoyed expression on his face. Alice had gotten up again but the thugs about her seemed to have lost interest and were backing off. |

Danny turned around and saw that Karen was dealing with the thugs rather nicely, recognizing the style as that which was taught to Sentry and not Soldier. Had she been working for the company and he hadn’t even realized? It was then that his hair was grabbed from behin and he was yanked backwards. His hand instantly went up and wrapped around his hair above the hand that was holding it and jerked forward, causing the man holding it to stumble. Danny then turned and round-house kicked the guy to the ground, his hair flaring out from the movement before settling down on his back, some going over his shoulder. He charged the other thugs who backed away quickly and a few began to run. Danny tilted his head then turned to see Reno standing up with a less than pleased look on his face and two dusty footprints on the front of his suit. Danny couldn’t help but laugh and Reno looked at him squarely and said, “ah shut up.” Danny sis, but not because he had been told to. Instead he went over to Karen and said, “Karen, do you remember me? It’s Danny,” he took his helmet off again, “your cousin, remember?” it had been a really long time since he had seen Karen. The last time was just before his father had died and Danny had been sent to the orphanage. They had been really young then but Danny would never forget the face she always used to make at him. He wondered if she would remember, too. |

So the battle had ended and the guy in the suit had turned out to be a friend. This did not end problems as this Danny called her Karen and stated that she was his cousin. “Danny?” Was all she was able to get out before she fell into the turmoil of her own mind? The harder she tried to remember the more she felt the recent torment she had gone through. It was at this point that Reno spoke up. “Danny she has Amnesia so she most likely does not remember. Although perhaps using her real name may help jog her memories. Shin-Ra is very interested in debriefing her on her last mission.” Alice thought Mission and Shin-Ra but the pain was too much and she dropped to the ground twitching. After a short time Alice sat back up she shook her head as if to tell them she still did not remember. |

“Amnesia?” Danny breathed in almost disbelief, he looked from Karen to Reno, then back to Karen. He stood up straight and took a step back, trying to figure it out, to sort out his thoughts. He sighed then looked up at Karen, tears brimming in his eyes but he did not let them fall, “she’ll remember eventually right?” he asked, his voice shaking. “It’s too early to tell yo,” said Reno, shoving his hands into his pockets, “but the chances are good she will.” Danny looked at Karen and blinked away the tears before he said, “I will help you remember, I promise I will do all in my power to help you remember,” he took a breath and continued, “you are my cousin, your name is Karen [last names], you are the daughter of my father’s brother. We last saw each other right before my father died” he took a shaky breath, feeling ready to cry again. He paused there, to see if what he said sparked anything. |

Alice listened to everything they had to say and placed both hands on the sides of her head. In her mind images were flashing about rapidly like someone rapidly changing the channel. Reno rubbed his chin as if lost in thought and Alice lowered her head and closed her eyes trying to sort out the images. She saw herself standing in black as a casket was being lowered into the ground. She saw a picture on the wall with a man surrounded by females. She saw herself saluting a SOLDIER in the uniform of a sentry. Karen could not connect the pieces of the puzzle however. No matter what something was missing in her mind. She saw herself then getting ready to go to the basic training and her father in his SOLDIER uniform introducing another SOLDIER as her cousin Danny the person looked similar to the man before him. Alice looked up then and began to cry she wanted to remember everything but could not. “I remember Danny. I remember a funeral and seeing you before I went into basic training for sentry. You were with my father something big was going to happen but I can’t remember what.” Alice felt searing pain as she tried to remember like a burning brand had been placed over her memories. She wanted to scream but could not find the strength to do even that. Edited by dragonbountyhunter, Dec 17 2009, 01:04 PM.
