Author: J'dee

Series: Final Fantasy VII - this part based after Dirge of Cerberus

Rating: Mature - NC-17

Pairs: Zack X Cissnei pt 2

Story: Alive and well, Zack has returned… but he's not alone. Hojo's experiments on him have caused some schizophrenic side effects. Sephiroth and Jenova are alive and well… inside him, plotting their return and destruction of the planet. Will Cloud be able to kill Sephiroth again when he's housed inside the body of his best friend and mentor? Or can Zack finally take on Sephiroth himself?

(Het/Yaoi/Non-Con, Con) Some OC Turk apperances.

AN: For those wondering why there are so many OC Turks popping up here and there… is because I have yet to get my hands on a cellphone with Before Crisis on it. And the Turks there go by as most of you know Rod, Shotgun ect ect. So short of calling them Rod or Shotgun Turk (since they are not named liked Cissnei). A friend of mine and I created a small band of Turks to use instead. Since I don't like naming characters I don't know or own we're using these guys instead.
OC Turks mentioned are: Walker, Clover, Quinn, Sylvie, M'adoc, Severance, Valerius, Ezekiel, Kaye, Haldane and Misteeq.

Chapter Eighteen

 

 

`Mother… what are you doing?' Zack could hear Sephiroth question.

He could still feel and hear and move like it was his own body. But he was aware of cold clammy hands rolling up his back as he thrust in to Cissnei's body.

`Giving him the push he needs and gathering my own strength… you're taking to long.'

Cissnei let out a cry and Zack knew Jenova was tapping in to his SOLDIER strength. His hands firmly pinning her arms to her side his hips moving in to the warmth of her body.

“Zack!” Cissnei gasped.

“I'm sorry.” Zack whispered. “I can feel her behind me…” He didn't want to look back incase he saw those purple eyes glaring at him demanding him to take this woman and break her trust of him.

His mouth moved down to her mouth capturing it quickly kissing her deeply to distract her from the possible pain she would soon be suffering.

 

The door swung open Zack froze and he glanced to the door and found his eyes locking with Rude's shade covered eyes.

“Rude.” Cissnei breathed.

Rude cleared his throat before mumbling a sorry. Walking up to Zack he placed his hand on Zack's shoulder ready to pull him back.

Cissnei grabbed something from the bedside table and Zack felt the contents hit him… water… and it hurt.

“FUCK!” He hissed doubling over as Jenova seemed to be thrown back. He looked over his shoulder see her standing there glaring at Zack, before her head jerked to the side as if sensing something else.

`Ancient! and Quinn they need to behave!'

Zack doubled over hearing Jenova let out the most awful screeching he'd ever heard and his hands moved to his ears to try and block out the sound.

`Mother!' Sephiroth shouted and Zack felt his body fall limp over Cissnei as he tried to catch his breath.

 

Rude pulled his hand back he'd felt the gust of ice wind as it shot over him then out the open door and he turned his head in bewilderment looking to Zack.

Cissnei wrapped her arms round the shivering body.

“She gone… she left…” Zack seemed to murmur.

“I've got you.” Cissnei soothed Zack. “It's alright. We're here.” She kissed the side of his face gently. Her hands rubbed up his arms. “He's like ice. Rude, can you grab a blanket?”

Rude cleared his throat before moving to her cupboard and opened it he pulled out a large duvet and walked back to the bed dropping it over them.

Cissnei moved her hand up to cup the side of Zack's face kissing him lightly. “You're frozen Zack.”

Zack just nodded as he shivered. “She… screamed something about an ancient.”

“Aerith was the last Zack.” Cissnei whispered.

“She said he.” Zack looked at her.

Rude blinked for a moment and he headed to the door shutting it leaving the two alone for a moment he pulled out his cellphone and flipped it open.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Clover stopped by the photo copier room and he looked at the abandoned room and he rubbed his chin in thought for the moment.

“Don't even think it.” Clover was grabbed by the fur of his collar and yanked away.

“Wha heeeey! Walk-” He stopped and blinked looking at Severance. The dark haired Turk had a serious expression on his face. “Sevvie?”

The violet eyed Turk's eyebrow twitched at the nickname they all called him. “We need to find Walker and we need to find him now.”

“What why?” Clover asked.

“Jenova jumped… Rude sent a sms through didn't you get it?”

Clover reached in to his pocket and pulled out his cellphone and blinked seeing it switched off. `Whoops.' He thought before flipping it on. He spun round slipping out of Severance's grip and saw a message from Walker.

`Find Quinn.' Was all it said. The other one from Rude marked Urgent said `Jenova left Zack, find Walker and Quinn.'

“Okay you find Walker I'm going to talk to Quinn.” Clover remarked heading down a different hallway.

He saw Severance look at him before heading off to look for Walker. Clover broke in to a run.

`Shit shit shit… Jenova's on the loose but who the hell is she going to jump in?' He thought panicked and stopped at the office door of Quinn and Sylvie. He knocked on the door and pushed it open. He blinked seeing Quinn sitting at his desk behind a mountain of books and research files.

The mismatched purple and blue eyes met his. “Quinn… are you… alright?”

“I should be asking you that.” The normally quiet Turk replied. “You're the most recent to be infected with mother's cells.”

`Fuck!' Clover thought he turned round ready to leave.

“You can't run from mother.” Quinn stated.

“I'm not infected.” Clover grumbled.

 

Quinn stood up and walked up behind him. “You can fix blood tests but you forget I know who her children are… big brother.”

Clover's hand moved through his hair. “Don't call me that! I'm not fit to be anyone's brother!”

“Mother is slowly connecting us all…”

Clover quivered at Quinn's tone of voice. “Tseng can't know.” He warned the younger Turk.

“You have five days… if you haven't told Tseng. Then I will.” Quinn stated, he closed the door shutting the two of them in the office. “Ancient.”

“Fuck!” Clover cursed again before punching the wall. “You can not mention that either!” He pointed at Quinn.

“I understand an Ancient inside the ranks of Turks… if it was to be discovered… the more unsavory scientists and doctors… would probably want a few words.” Quinn's hand moved to his eye. “Can't have you ending up like me… can we now?”

“If you hear Jenova… See her or whatever. You tell her to keep the fuck away from Walker you got that. Her obsession with SOLDIER is getting a little old.” Clover warned.

Quinn shook his head. “She's coming after you not Walker.”

Clover pushed past Quinn quickly leaving the office. “She's not going to get me.” He pointed at the tri hair colored Turk before running down the hall.

Quinn looked on and he heard Sylvie as she walked up behind him, in her arms several research books. “Back from the Nibelhiem mansion I found these in the lab… did you want to look-?” She stopped seeing Clover run round the corner heading towards the lab. “Is Clover feeling sick again?”

“Mother vacated Zack's body for the time being. He's looking for Walker.” Quinn stated.

“Oh dear…” She carried the books in to the office. “Then we better hurry and go through these hopefully we can find something to defeat Jenova then. I also grabbed some of Walker's notes form when he was infected maybe there might be something there.”

“Perhaps.” Quinn followed her in to the office shutting the door.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Tseng looked at the message on the phone and he flipped it shut looking up at Walker standing in front of him.

“Have you heard her?”

“Only on occasion…” The former SOLDER remarked he was leaning against the wall by the door.

Tseng sighed. The Banora SOLDIER's were always the most difficult to deal with. It had taken several months of tracking to convince the former 1st Class to join the Turks with the promise of removing the Geostigma from his mother. With that said and done Walker remained, due to the contract.

“How do you know when Jenova is around?” Tseng asked.

Walker just scoffed. “It gets cold… or least I do and I feel her hands, and it's like my body and my body only is suffering from intense frost. I can see my own breath, her voice becomes clear just like you and I are talking. Then I see her eyes and the shape of her body.” He explained. “But then once you're warm again, she's gone.”

Tseng nodded. “Have you under Jenova's control infected anyone?”

“No one.” Walker remarked.

Tseng noticed the former SOLDIER wasn't really looking at him. “Jenova showed you Zack was next. Your report clearly stated six months in advance to Zack being discovered you saw Jenova with Zack, has she shown you anyone else?”

“When M'adoc threw me in to the water in the Church she stayed for only three days then faded… I only hear her voice on occasion and I feel her touch less… I'm not presented with the same imagery as before.” Walker explained.

“Is Quinn in danger?” Tseng asked.

“I'm not sure.” Walker replied.

Tseng sighed and lent back in his seat. “Walker we want to get rid of her for good. You're not SOLDIER anymore so follow Turk protocol.”

“Turk protocol states that Clover should be in here with me while you're conducting this interview.” Walker remarked. “Turks work in pairs unless otherwise stated by Rufus.”

Tseng felt his eye twitch. “You and Clover I know you're both hiding something.”

“Maybe we are…” Walker replied. “But I'm afraid that's an out of office situation that occurred that we will deal with on our own. Like you stated inter-office relationships are unprofessional and are not encouraged. This is one of those situations.”

“You slept with Clover.” Tseng stated, though it was more of a question, Clover was just as perverted as Reno in mouth, but that seemed to be what Walker was confessing to him.

“A couple of times.” Walker replied. “Too much alcohol on his part. He's as bad as Reno at times.”

“Was this before or after you started dating Kaye?” Tseng sighed.

Walker pushed himself up from the wall. “We have kept our working and dating relationship strictly separate. Don't bring her in to this.”

Tseng raised a brow. “So you only slept with Clover nothing more nothing less?”

“Nothing else… now if you don't mind I know M'adoc will have received Rude's text and will probably be panicking… so I'm leaving.” Walker turned round and left the office shutting the door with a loud slam after him.

Tseng lent back in his chair and he let out a sigh. “Like dealing with children at times.”

 

~*~*~*~

 

Cissnei kept her body pressed close to Zack watching his breath coming out in the form of white steam, like his body was trapped in the coldest winter.

“Zack… you'll be okay.” She whispered.

Teeth chattering the former 1st Class nodded his head slowly, “S-sh-she's gone… but t-th-the cold…” She stopped him placing her hand over his mouth.

“Shhh… save your strength.” Her mouth moved to his neck blowing on it lightly. His arms seemed to wrap around her at the motion as a moan passed his lips.

“S-s-so warm.” He shivered.

Cissnei's brought her hands up to her mouth blowing on them and slipping them under the blankets moving them to just left of his heart and rubbing his chest quickly. Zack's hands moved over her back as he pulled her in closer to him, his head burying in to the crook of her neck his mouth moving along her shoulder.

“Zack.” She shivered even his breath was like ice.

 

Zack rolled over so she was under him and he let out a sigh the heat from her boy seeming to rise and he pulled the blanket up over his shoulders. His body lowered to hers, lying over her with only a sliver of a gap between their bodies. His hand slipped between her thighs making her breath hitch at the cold touch. Fingers slipping in to the warmth her hips lifted off the bed to meet his.

His mouth moved along her shoulder to her neck up to under her ear, then to her mouth softly, his tongue slipping inside.

Not a peep from Jenova, he couldn't hear or feel her at all and it made him wonder if she was truly gone, if even for just now it was better than nothing. Pulling his mouth back he smiled down at her.

“I'm sorry… I must have scared you…” He whispered his finger stroking her inner walls in a slow thrusting motion.

Cissnei just moaned her hips lifting up off the bed allowing his other hand to slip under her body, his hand rolling up and down her back.

 

Cissnei gasped her hips rocking in to fingers faster, she moved with the momentum that his hand seemed to drive in her. Riding the sudden rush she could feel her walls tightening and his fingers curled round as they stroked and thrust deep inside striking that sensual spot over and over, his mouth on her neck. All she could hear was his apology and her arms moved round his neck pulling him down, her mouth taking his.

“It's okay.” She murmured against his mouth.

Her hips moved up in to his hand letting his fingers touch base with the point of her sudden sexual need and he took the hint.

Slipping fingers from her body, he vanished under the blankets. “Zack…” She looked down not sure whether to lift the blanket up to check or not.

She felt her legs lifted up and dropped over his shoulder and she gasped as she felt the flicker of a tongue at the core of her entrance.

“ZACK!” Her fingers locked in to the sheets as her hips rode up in to the mouth against the tongue that thrust inside her and seemed to drink her dry.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Rude cleared his throat uncomfortably standing outside the apartment door, he looked at his phone as it began to ring and he flipped it open answering.

“Reno.”

“Yo was that message true or not?”

“Yes Zack has confirmed it Jenova mentioned something about an ancient then left.” Rude explained.

He heard Reno gasp on the other. “Hey you know what buddy… I'm feeeeeeeling alright ya'know… Me an Elena we're gunna head in to the office for a bit… Just incase you get back and we're not here.”

“We're doing what now?” Elena asked in the background.

“I'm bored yo I could always flick the TV to Hentai girls go crazy if you want?” Reno teased.

Rude flinched as the sound of Elena snatched the phone from Reno. “We'll be at HQ Rude I'm not staying here over night if he's going to be watching Hentai porn!”

“Understood I'll bring Zack in after.” Rude explained.

 

“ZACK!”

 

Rude raised a brow blushing slightly looking at Cissnei's door.

Elena cleared her throat. “Rude… where are you exactly?”

“Outside Cissnei's apartment.” He replied.

“Oh… we'll just meet you at work later then.” She ended the call quickly.

Rude flipped his phone shut slipping it back in to his pocket. `Reno what are you hiding?' He thought to himself.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Reno pulled on his black leather jacket over the white singlet shirt and changed in to a pair of jeans and he pulled his goggles up on to his forehead. Grabbing his EMR he headed to the door, stopping to look back at Elena looking at him, her face was still flushed, even he'd heard Cissnei's scream of passion over the phone. Even though he would love to have got another photo he had an Ancient and office prankster to visit.

“You coming?” He asked.

Elena nodded following him quickly.

Reno locked the door after her heading down the hall to the elevator taking it all the way to the basement parking lot.

`Clover… she's coming after you… I hope like hell I get there in time.' He thought heading towards beat up ol' looking car.

Elena stopped behind him. “You want me to ride with you in that?” She asked. “It's a health hazard, not to mention a death trap.”

“I'm going in to work Elena… you're supposed to be watching me aren't you yo?” Reno challenged.

Elena sighed before slipping in to the passenger side and she did up her seatbelt double checking it.

Reno just rolled his eyes and started the car up.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Cissnei's body reacted to the contrast of the cold body against her warm one, and she blushed as her orgasm shot through. She heard the chuckle from under the sheets and she bopped where she thought the he head was.

“Damnit Zack…” She blushed. “I wasn't supposed to scream. Rude he could…”

Zack slipped up from under the covers. “I'm warming up now…” He grinned.

She flushed red on her cheeks before sitting up. “I bet you are.” She mumbled.

Zack slipped his arms around her from behind and she blinked his chest was so warm, but his legs and arms were still cold. Her hand moved along his arms slow at first, then she squeaked as he picked her up settling her on his lap, his head resting on her shoulder.

“There's something about this energy borrowing thing… I think I'm learning how to turn it on and off…” Zack mused before his mouth kissed under her ear.

Cissnei looked to her pet turtle as it sat perched on it's rock the water lapping at its flippers.

“Really?” She asked her eyes glancing to Zack's hands as they rolled over her breasts, then down her body over her legs.

“Yeah… So I'll try… not to take to much this time… I don't want you getting to sick.” He whispered.

Cissnei smiled to herself. “That's sweet but it's alright. Orders are orders…”
“You're not Tseng's whore…” Zack whispered, his hands slipping under her, lifting her up slightly she felt him move her to her stomach.

Cissnei blinked and looked over her shoulder at Zack confused. His hand moving up her back then over her rear, then between her legs, she felt them edged apart slightly and she blushed turning her face away knowing what was about to happen.

“I know…” She mumbled. “But Tseng said…”

“He told you not me… he doesn't sign my paycheck so if I don't listen how is it fair your pay should get docked?” Zack's voice took on a cheeky tone and Cissnei, felt fingers stroking her entrance again, she moaned her hips rocking back in to his hand.

 

Zack watched as her body started to respond more to his touches and he moved over her back, lining up he slipped in to her from behind. Making her hips buck in to his suddenly.

“Zack.” Her face burying in to her pillow her fingers grabbing on to the sheets desperately.

He groaned as he felt his arousal encased in to the right heat and rocked into the warmth more. His body was warming up, it was amazing how fast it heated up compared to how frozen he had been only minutes before.

Pushing in deeper his hand slipped over her abdomen and then down between her thighs where they were joined and he slipped two fingers in above his length.

“ZACK!” Her hips thrust back and he felt walls lock him in place.

His fingers flicked at the sensitive nub making her body tremble and he pulled out then thrust in slowly, his mouth moving along the back of her neck.

The friction, they way she held him encased, it was enough to send him in to a climax but, he wanted another from her before he would even dare. He'd taken so much from her, she needed it. Needed to know that he meant well, and he wouldn't let Jenova touch her ever.

Lifting her body up to sit over his lap he starting thrusting up in to her warmth, her back pressed up against his chest, her head rolled back to his shoulder, her hips rocked riding his thrusts. Her mouth opened as she gasped hungrily for air.

“Cissnei…” he whispered.

He was normal wasn't he? He was Tifa's friend. He was Cloud mentor, he couldn't no matter what ruin that. Closing his eyes trying to stop the phantom feeling of Cloud's hands over body, and he let the womanly curves roll over his hips taking him in deeper.

Her voice soft and feminine reminded him, he couldn't do that to Cloud and Tifa.

“So close…” She gasped her head turning to look at him and he lowered his mouth to her capturing it. His tongue flickering over the tip of hers curling round the appendage and sucking lightly, he let it go as she pulled back.

“ZACK!” Her hands grabbed behind on his thighs as he felt the rush of her climax, her hips thrusting more against his.

Zack groaned feeling his length and quivering arousal coated in the warmth.

`I almost… forgot… almost…' Zack let his head drop to her shoulder as he continued thrusting up in to her tightened heat, she was gripping his arousal in inner walls so tightly, the vibration, the tingle that was close to breaking him, was so close.

Thrust after thrust he pushed in deeper reaching for that release. Cissnei's arm moved behind her head and round the back of his neck, her mouth moving to his. Lips taking his as this time she kissed him. He felt fingers slip over the base of his arousal slow then up more. Making him realize they weren't his fingers and he groaned in to the mouth knowing suddenly what she was doing.

Zack thrust up gasping as he felt his climax hit home deep inside Cissnei. Her mouth let his go and her arms slipped from round his neck, to this face as she smiled at him.

“Okay… not cold now.” He whispered.

“Good.” She smiled slipping from his lap and he hissed as she slid off him slowly.

 

Cissnei looked at Zack last time by the time she had reached the office she had nearly passed out. She hoped she would have enough strength to make the phone call to Tseng to state the mission was accomplished.

She walked to her cellphone and picked it up, she was aware of the bed spring squeaking as Zack flopped on to her bed on his back.

She typed in the single word `Done' before hitting send to Tseng and flipping the phone closed.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Rude heard the room fall silent there was the sound of shuffling and he knocked on the door.

“Cissnei?” He asked.

The door opened and he looked at her slightly flushed, the sheet wrapped round her body. “It's okay… Rude.” She remarked stepping aside.

Rude looked in at Zack standing there in his jeans holding up the ripped shirt before tossing it in to her bin and pulling on a black t shirt.

“You can take him to Tseng I'm going to have a shower and let Tseng know I'm off duty till we know if it worked or not.” She whispered.

Rude nodded his head before looking at Zack. “Zack. Tseng wishes to see you.”

Zack let out a sigh. “Yeah alright I'm coming.” He walked to the door and Rude noticed him point at the turtle tank at the turtle. “You green guy are a pervert you know that. You didn't blink once.”

Cissnei covered her mouth stifling the giggle and Rude shook his head as Zack followed him out of the apartment complex.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Reno walked round the office. The photo copier room was empty, the computer room, the mess hall, common room, kitchen, everywhere they'd placed a pranks together or a photograph or mock memo was empty.

His fist hit the side of the wall and he moved down the hall.

`Damnit Clover where are you?' He thought.

Reno heard Elena following him from behind, she was far enough to give him his space but not to far to loose him either.

Reno stopped outside the lab of Ezekiel. He didn't deal with the dark skinned former ShinRA weapons scientist much. But he was aware Tseng had made Ezekiel the one to see when ever any Turk wasn't feeling well.

Reno pushed the door open. “Yo doc I'm looking for-” He stopped dead seeing Clover on the ground of the lab Ezekiel leaning up against the wall looking down at Clover.

“Clover.” He looked back at Elena and he thanked Kaye for stopping her, the two having some sort of girly discussion. Reno slipped in to the lab and he moved up to Clover's side, the blonde unconscious on the floor.

Reno helped the blonde up, he blinked it was like touching a frost victim. “Hey… Clover c'mon open your eyes yo.”

“Jenova…” Ezekiel remarked.

Reno looked up. “You know he told me?” Reno asked.

“He trusts you… you trained him along side Sylvie. I figured he'd go to you.” Ezekiel remarked. “Jenova used Walker to infect him. She's slowly taking over his genetic structure.” The scientist added.

Reno's head moved slowly in a nod, lifting the blonde on to the table lying him down. “He'll live though right?”

“He's an ancient you know their survival rate as well as I do.” Ezekiel sighed.

Reno stepped back watching the white steam of breath leave Clover's mouth the blonde gasped in for air shivering, his lips slowly turning blue. “What does she want?”

“Don't know really… A kid maybe. Can you imagine if she got a host body of an ancient descended with Jenova and Mako enhancements.” Ezekiel looked at Reno.

Reno shivered at the thought. “No thanks.” He lent over the blonde looking down at him. “What are you going to do?”

“Keep him warm what else.” Ezekiel remarked.

Reno blinked. “Um how?”

“How else?” Ezekiel looked at Reno a brow raising.

Reno's mouth moved and he stepped back. The scientist's other side of the fence preference was widely know and his weakness for blondes, made Reno glad the scientist never meet Cloud. “I'll be in my office sms me when he's awake.” He slipped out of the lab closing the door.

 

“Reno.” He looked down the hall. “Yo!” he waved to Kaye.

The other female blonde raced up to him and grabbed him by the collar. “Your drawer was absolutely disgusting! How could you keep it like that?!”

Reno blinked. “Fluffy! That's right!”

“Fluffy's got copious amounts of sticky goo stuff remover.” Kaye pointed at him.

“You flew my copter!” Reno retorted

“You got your ass kicked by Jenova!” She challenged.

Elena let out a sigh at the two arguing Turks. “Reno.”

“Yeah?” He looked at her.

“Tseng.” She pointed behind him.

Reno turned to the side and he blinked looking at Tseng standing there.

Tseng's arms crossed a brow quirked up. “What part of wait don't you understand?”

Reno blinked confused for a moment then remembered that Tseng had told him he wasn't suppose to come in until he let him know when, and it was supposed to be to seduce Zack only give him strength. Standing up straight Reno cleared his throat.

“I wanted to see Clover… I was bored besides Elena didn't want to watch porn with me.” Reno retorted.

“I'm a woman.” Elena remarked.

“Women watch porn.” Reno remarked.

Elena raised a brow at his comment.

“Normal women watch porn.” Reno corrected.

Elena growled and turned on her heel and walked off.

“Reno my office… now.” Tseng sighed heading down the hall. “Before Zack arrives.”

Reno stopped and looked at Tseng's retreating back before he shoved his hands in his pocket and followed.

 

~*~*~*~

 

Zack rubbed behind his head walking through the ShinRA Turk hallway and he stopped when he saw Quinn appear. “Hey… Quinn any luck?” He asked hopeful that the young Turk might have discovered something.

“I'm going through Walker's files.” Quinn replied.

“Walker…” Zack repeated. He'd heard the name several times but wasn't sure which Turk face to associate with the name.

“You've meet him before he was in SOLIER in one of your units the one you led before your Nibelhiem mission.” Quinn explained.

Zack thought for a moment. “Um…”

“They all wore helmets I know, he was the one at the back of the unit. Didn't say much.” Quinn remarked.

“How do you know he was at the back?”

“Because it's on surveillance I could sense mother's cells in him even from there.” Quinn replied.

Zack nodded his head slowly. Granted Quinn lacked a normal person's conversation, he realized why now, it was regarding mother mostly and a way to defeat her. Zack clapped the young Turk on the shoulder.

“We need to get you a girlfriend.”

“I don't think mother would approve… It would be too dangerous for me to even-” Quinn began, but Zack placed a hand on his mouth.

“Quinn… no offence you're a nice kid and all… but try… to get laid at least once.” Zack remarked. “Might lighten you up.”

Quinn frowned for a moment. “I… think I understand your words but even so… I don't think I could take that advice just yet. Not when I'm so close. The water drove Jenova at bay for six months. Till she returned… in you… there might be something in that water that could defeat her for good.” He continued.

Zack let out a sigh. `So much for helping the kid get laid.' He thought. He then blinked. “Wait what? The water…?”

“I'm going to do some tests later on in the next two days.” Quinn explained.

Zack nodded his head slowly. “Becareful okay…”

“I will… let big brother know… he can use my body…” Quinn repeated his statement form when they first met.

“No… Sephiroth is not going to be using anymore bodies.” Zack shook his head.

Quinn blushed. “No… not like that… I mean… you want to save him… see if his essence or at least the S cells can be transferred in to my body.”

Zack paused for a moment. `A way to save Seph…'

`I do not need saving…'

“But you do big brother.” Quinn locked eyes with Zack making Sephiroth gasp in realization for a moment.

Zack stared at Quinn surprised. “You hear him?”

“As clearly as I hear mother, which is why I think I'll be able to help.”

“But you have Jenova in you and Sephiroth I couldn't let you-” Zack began worriedly.

“Mother will not always be around.” Quinn interrupted I know this and so does she. She's growing desperate. She knows what I'm doing she's running to grasp as straws for her survival.”

`The ancient.' Sephiroth realized.

Quinn nodded his head. “She has infected the ancient with her cells. She wants more power.”

Zack doubled over as he felt Sephiroth trying to fight his way out. “Seph… not here.”

`The ancient tell me where the ancient is?! It's too dangerous for mother!'

Quinn shook his head. “I will divulge no such details until you come to terms big brother… Zack and I will save you whether you want to be saved or not.”

`I don't need saving you worthless child! Mother and I have great plans for your bodies and this world… I will not allow such foolish hopes.'

“Seph… just shut up.” Zack lent against the wall trying to catch his breath. “I'm still not strong enough Quinn, you should leave… I have to get to Tseng… fast.”

Quinn nodded. “I will send you a sms if I am successful in extracting mother's essence from my body.”

Zack nodded still leaning against the wall watching the Turk leave. Leaning against the wall trying to keep balance Zack made his way slowly towards Tseng's office.

 

 

To Be Continued…
