The Shinra Assault

Hello, this is a bit of a first for me. I've been commissioned to write a fanfinc about FF7. I hope I got the events right, did some research but I didn't play the game so if I got anything wrong, sorry.

Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the moon lit night, three shadowy figures ominously approach the tall Shinra tower. Silent as the night, they make their way to the building with absolute stealth. On their path, they encounter two guards chatting. They seem to not have spotted them yet. One of the figures reaches and hand back over it's head. "I got this." He says in a whisper as he clutches the handle of the massive sword he carries on his back.

One of his partners, The shortest of the bunch, puts a hand on the swordsman's shoulder and shakes her head. "Wait. We can't afford to let them sound the alarm." She takes a step forward and turns to the other two. "I'll handle these two, quietly."

The swordsman opens his mouth the say something but the third figure, the tallest of the group speaks first. "You sure about this, Tifa?"

Tifa looks up and grins at him, her crimson eyes shimmer in the moonlight. She gives him a nod and that's all her partners need to stand down and let her take care of it. The dark haired woman gets in a ready stance and begins her approach, staying as low as possible to make as little sound as she can as she closes in on her targets. Once close enough to the unaware guards she jumps forward and lands a solid punch to one of the guard's jaw. He falls down immediately unconscious. The other guard is caught completely by surprise and as he tries to process what the hell just happened, before he could react Tifa quickly grabs the guard by the back of the neck and brings him down onto her knee with all the force she could muster, sending him to dreamland too. She then turns back to the others and gives them a thumbs up.

Cloud and Barret stand back a bit dumbfounded at how quickly Tifa was able to dispatch the guards. Cloud being more experienced with her strength shakes it off and motions Barret to keep moving.

"Where should we hide the bodies?" Tifa asks as Cloud and Barret walk to her side.

"We don't have time for that." Cloud replies coldly.

"Right..."

"I agree with blondie, but avoiding triggering alarms will buy us just as much time." The bulky brawny man retorts. He picks up both of the passed out guards with ease and drags them inside the tower with them. They look around and see no cameras or anyone in sight. Good start so far, Cloud thinks to himself. They walk to a wall with a few crates and barrels near it. The trio take the crates and barrels and hide the bodies of the guards inside them, hoping to keep them out of sight enough to give them the time needed to reach their objective. They move the containers around to better cover their targets and then run into the building.

"Now that we're in, what's next?" Barret asks as the three walk deeper into the facility.

"We know that Aerith is detained at the top of the tower." Tifa replies, she then points upwards with a finger. "We should find a way to the top floor and bust her out."

Cloud gives a nod in agreement. "Yeah, the best bet is to head up floor by floor and make our way to her." He points over to the left, where a pair of elevators stand. "There. That's how we're going to reach her." He says with a determined expression on his face.

Tifa and Barret exchange a look between them. "Elevators are monitored. If we take them, we'll encounter a lot of resistance." The brawler explains.

Cloud scoffs. "What's the alternative?"

"Well, from the map we gathered, there is another way, one much less surveilled." Tifa starts then turns her head to the much taller gunner. "But you're not gonna like it..."

Barret crosses his arms in front of him, a smug look on his face. "If it's less surveilled it means there's less of 'em."

"Yes but it's more physical." She clarifies, making the taller man's smirk vanish. "Fifty nine flights of stairs..." Tifa points behind her to a large stair case going up and around.

"Fifty nine!?" Barret immediately shakes his head. "Oh hell no!"

Tifa gives a sigh. "I told you..."

"Well, I say we should preserve our strength." Cloud start. "We don't know what kind of security we might find on the last floor. The least fights we have, the better."

Barret grunts but eventually caves. "Alright, alright... You've got a point, Spiky. We can take the stairs... Let's get it done!"

The trio start the long climb to the top floor. Floor after floor, they run into the occasional security patrol that they manage to dispatch before the guards notice they are there. Barret's grumbling echoes all through the tower's floors, only silenced when Tifa reprimands him to be quieter. The climb continues in relative silence after that. Once the group reaches the fifty first floor, they stop to catch their breath.

Barret leans on the railing of the stair way, heaving and panting. "Is... this it...?" He wheezes out between breaths. "Fuck, I'm going back down...Screw this shit!"

Tifa and Cloud stand close by, only slightly winded. "Almost there, only two more floors." The woman encourages. The blonde turns his head up and stares up. "It can't be that hard. We've come all this way."

Barret stands up straight, looks at the other two with an expression as determined as Cloud's. "Fuck it... We can do this!" He turns to Tifa, who's face lights up.

"Alright! Let's keep going." She pumps her fist up, her crimson eyes shine in the bright fluorescent light. She then runs up the last couple of flights of stairs and her companions follow her closely behind. The three eventually reach the fifty ninth and last floor, with only a single door ahead of them. They all share a quick glance at each other, Cloud silently reaches for the handle and twists it slowly, he gives the door a light push and it opens slightly. He peeks through the gap and sees a long corridor that seems to lead to an elevator guarded by three guards; two security officers and one elite security officer, easily recognizable by his crimson uniform. The swordsman closes the door and shares what he saw with the other two.

"Looks like it's as good as it's going to get." Barret starts, turning to Cloud and Tifa. "You guys ready?"

Cloud readies his weapon, as does Barret, and both of them look to the woman. "Wait!" Tifa pipes up, looking through the door. "These guard's seem to have a remote alarm." She leans back, letting the other two look and see. "See?"

"Well, shit! Now what?!" Barret asks, deflating from the burst of motivation he just had.

Tifa places her fist to her chin and begins to think, then something seems to click. "I could try to get them. Like I did the other two down stairs."

"Impossible. These guys have a clear line of sight on you. They will trigger the alarm as soon as they seem you." Cloud counters.

"Well, if I don't do something we won't get anywhere." The dark haired brawler argues back.

The blonde crosses his arms and ponders, trying to think of a solution that won't involve the use of brute force. As he racks his mind, his expression going from frustrated to calm and confident then defeated in just a few moments.

"How about you try to 'talk' to them, Teef?" Barret suggests, catching both of his comrades off guard.

Cloud gives Barret an inquisitive look and asks: "Talk to them?"

"Yeah, talk to them... Get to know them... I know you're great at it." The bigger man responds, his lips forming a cheeky grin.

"I guess...I could...It would give me enough time to close in on them and neutralize them." The woman looks through the door once more, focusing on her target and how she would be able to approach.

"Tifa, are you sure?" The blonde voices his concern.

She nods and takes a few deep breaths, preparing mentally for what she is about to attempt. Once she feels like she's ready, Tifa gives herself one more deep breath and exhales through her mouth and opens the door, slowly making her way out to the guards. They don't immediately notice her, busy as they are in chatting with one another. Tifa makes her way over to the security personnel with her arms crossed and her shoulders hunched down, making her appear shorter and smaller and less of a threat to them. Her walking becomes slower as she gets closer, with a slight wobble in her steps. Cloud and Barret watch in the door frame of the stair way entrance as she approaches.

"STAND WHERE YOU ARE!!" The two lower ranked guards instantly point their guns at her when they spot her. About sixty feet of distance between them and her. Too long for her to cross and knock them out, Tifa thinks.

"Uhm...E-excuse me..." Tifa's voice cuts through the tense air. "Can one of you gentlemen help me please?" She inquires, raised her hands in a surrendering manner.

The guards look over to her, then at each other before one turns to her and replies: "This is a restricted area, Identify yourself NOW!!"

Tifa's body posture gets less rigid as she approaches, taking more steps and stopping with only forty feet between her and them. "I'm so sorry..." She replies with her best sad, feminine tone she could manage. "I seem to be lost..."

"Ma'am, stop where you are." The elite officer calmly orders, keeping her gun pointed at the woman. Her voice although huskier than Tifa's, still sounds feminine. Her frame is also slimmer than the other two, smaller too. Tifa eyes the officer as she approaches her, something is off with this one. Maybe it's the complete lack of breasts on supposed female guard, the voice? She can't put her hand on it just yet but she figures it's better to keep up with the facade for now.

"I was wondering if you could escort me down or at least, halfway. I'll reward you dully.~" Her voice is sultry now and her walk gets more alluring to the three guards. "I'd feel safer if one of you were to accompany me down~" She finishes off with a playful wink.

Cloud and Barret can only stare with their mouths agape and a dumb look on their face as she works her magic. Barret gives the swordsman a glance and all he can do is shake his head at his companion. "Damn..."

The two male guards, begin to blush under their helmets as their gazes are now locked onto Tifa, their eyes wondering all over her alluring body. The shorter and female one doesn't seem as interested, though. She points a finger at Tifa. "Tell me, who are you with?" She then moves her finger a couple inches besides the intruding woman and towards the door on the other side of the corridor.

Tifa freezes up. Cloud grasps his sword and readies it for an impending battle. "Hang on spiky, there might still be a chance." Barret says, resting a hand on the soldier's shoulder.

"Oh, th-that? That's just my friend...As I said, we're lost, so..." Tifa looks back, giving Cloud a nod.

The blonde lets out an annoyed sigh and walks in, both hands raised. "Hello..." He grumbles under his breath.

The female guard wolf whistles as she sees the swordsman approaching. "Not bad, not bad at all.~" She says with a big, predatory smile. She undoes her helmet and removes it, letting her long snow white hair cascade over her shoulder and down to her hips. "I guess we might be able to help each other.~" She comments as she puts her gun away. She then turns to Cloud, with her bright red eyes eyeing him up and down as she bites her red painted lower lip. "Quite the hunk.~" Her tone is now as sultry as Tifa's was when she was still trying to seduce them, though it carries more authority than hers. Cloud can't help feel somewhat uncomfortable. Not because he was shy or anything like that but, it's almost as if he could physically feel the woman's gaze on him. He could almost feel her undress him with her eyes, like there ethereal hands tripping him down, feeling him up and groping him.

She whispers something to her men then steps closer to Cloud, her eyes shifting to Tifa for a moment, carrying a 'Don't try anything stupid.' message. "So you two are working in which department again?" She asks teasingly, knowing full well there is no chance in hell Shinra would tolerate the kind of outfit these two are wearing, let alone the massive sword on the blonde's back.

"Uh... We're with the fighting department...Down stairs...?" Tifa stammers out, trying to salvage the situation. Cloud says nothing but looks back at Tifa, giving her a 'Are you serious?' look.

Barret, still hiding, doesn't budge and shakes his head slowly as he looks at the guards. "Is that so? Well, that would explain this fine piece of meat.~" She runs a hand over Cloud's muscular arm, tracing it's definition with her middle finger. "How come you are so high up here, then?" The question is more rhetorical than anything else but she wants to play along and have some fun.

Tifa and Cloud look at one another, not really knowing how to continue this lie. "We're just visiting, checking things out. Seeing where things are and that kind of stuff..." Cloud says.

"Oh? But your friend here said you got lost.~" The woman in red's smile grows wider. "But if you're just visiting, I can show you a whole new world, cutie.~" She stands on her tip toes, being a good head shorter than the young man, and leans over to whisper in his ear. "Been so long since I've have a cutie like you. How about a little deal? We both know you know exactly where you are and why you came here.~" She moves the hand that was on his arm to his side, caressing him with an up and down motion. "I've been working double shift thanks to you and your organization. Haven't had the chance to fuck in a while.~" He other hand moves behind Cloud and runs down his back before resting on his ass. "I think it's only fair that you help me deal with my pent up frustration, hmm?~" She squeezes Cloud's left ass cheek and begins kneading it over the fabric of his pants. The mercenary startles as she does this but doesn't resist, yet. "In exchange, I'll give you the keycard to the elevator. I'll even radio the other guards and have them clear a path for you. What do you say, handsome?~" She whispers before softly biting on Cloud's earlobe, drawing a soft moan out of him.

Tifa hearing and seeing the scene play out in front of her feels her stomach twist into a tight knot. A twinge of jealousy, envy even. She had never felt such a powerful feeling before but the sight of this woman feeling Cloud up while she looks at him with hungry eyes, like he is the first meal she had in years is enough to make her see red. "H-hey!" She grabs the woman's hand that's groping her crush's ass. "What do you think you're doing?!" She exclaims with anger and frustration in her voice.

The white haired woman shoots her a glare before pointing at the remote alarm she is holding in her free hand. "Ah! Feisty aren't we? I'd suggest you sit this one out, little lady. Your 'friend' and are talking here, isn't that right, blondie?~" She easily tugs her hand free from Tifa's grasp and brings it back to Cloud's ass, this time slipping it under his pants and cupping a direct feel, making the young man shiver and gasp. "What do you say?" Her lips brush against his cheek, the hot breath escaping her lips sending shivers down Cloud's spine. Her other hand cups his face and brings it to her's and plants her red painted lips to his in a sensual, sloppy kiss, smearing some of her lipstick on the blonde's face as she moves her head from side to side, sucking and nibbling on the young man's soft lips.

Cloud feels a soft wet tongue press against his lips, the tip of the organ lightly probing his closed lips while the hand kneading his buttocks adventures dangerously close to the valley that is his ass crack, a couple fingers dipping in to reach his untouched anus. The blonde's mind races as a plethora of emotions rush through his mind. Part of him is very excited by this sudden turn of event, he has never done anything like this before and is curious about this new feeling. His pants start to feel a bit tight in his groin, his heart rate rises, and the thought of having this woman make a man of him is more alluring than anything else.

"I think that's a yes.~" The elite officer playfully says as she breaks the kiss. She gives a playful smack to the mercenary's rear end. "Just you and me, sweet cheeks. In the elevator, now.~" Her tone is teasing and full of lust and desire. He grasps his turtle neck-like collar and begins walking to the elevator with her. He gives a glance at Tifa, a mix of desire, need, and shame. "Eyes on me, handsome!~" She tugs him forward and brings him to the elevator, swiping her card and entering the confined space. "If she does anything other than breath, sound the alarm." She instructs her men before the door's close.

"What now?" The merc asks, turning to face the shorter woman.

"Now?..." She scoffs before giving Cloud a shove that sends him against the glassed wall of the elevator. "Where were we? Oh right. That cute mouth of yours." She hungrily kisses him again, her lips sloppily press against his while her tongue seeks his mouth and begins exploring it. After just a few seconds, she feels him open for her, making the kiss deeper and more passionate.

Cloud feels his member stiffen to its full potential in his pants, it feels weird and awkward for him. The sensation is not entirely foreign to him but to have a stranger have this effect on him feels strange. His breathing grows ragged, the need for air overwhelming the need to explore her mouth more and more. She eventually breaks the kiss to give her lover some room to breath but her tongue doesn't retreat from his mouth, instead, she begins swirling it around and inside his mouth, tracing his teeth and lips. Her hands keep busy too, sliding under his shirt and running up his fit form, feeling the hardness of his pectorals and abs.

"Such a sexy body you have. You could crush me, right?~" Her fingers run up and down the definition of his stomach, her hands run down his sides then move to his ass and give his rear end a nice and firm squeeze. "Take this silly thing off.~" She sultrily says, tugging on his shirt.

The mercenary lifts his arms up and removes his black top, leaving him topless under wolfish beauty's eyes. She licks her lips before attacking his lips once more, hungrily kissing him with a fervor and a lust only rivaled by his. The white haired woman brings a hand to one of the swordsman's perked nips, gently rolling it between her thumb and index, earning a couple moans from her target. Her lips begin moving downwards, switching targets from his mouth to his jawline. She leaves a couple kisses before descending further down his neck, showering it and then his clavicles with kisses, following the valley formed by the bone, trailing a path to one of his sensitive nipples, leaving behind a trail of red lipstick marks.

"Oh.." The mercenary moans as the white haired woman takes his sensitive nipple between her lips and gives a gentle suckle on it.

"Hmmm? You like it?~" She playfully asks, licking the nub and flicking her tongue back and forth on it before suckling on it once more.

This is all so new to him and he is overwhelmed with it, all of it. He nods his head in reply, he doesn't know what to say, dialog has never been his forte. She lets go of the now red bud and smiles at him. "Good!~" She continues traveling further down, making sure to show appreciation to all the hard work the young man has put in sculpting his athletic body. All the while she does, Cloud hears clicks and thuds as the woman removes pieces of her own body armor. By the time her lips reached the hem of his pants, all the metal parts are off and only the clothing remains. "Hope you won't disappoint. Won't matter either way, but still.~" She says as she starts unbuckling his belt and undoing his fly with her teeth. Cloud can only pant and breath heavily, his mind clouded with lust and all he wants is more, much more. He knows this woman will deliver but a part of him feels it's wrong.
