Chapter 1: The Reactor

 It was a dark night, like any other in Sector Eight in the industrial city of Midgar. However, on this night, something unordinary was going to happen. Five individuals snuck aboard a supply tank train that led towards a large grey building with a round top with some sort of green light escaping from the top. Four of the five were men, and one was a woman.

The woman had brown hair in a ponytail, with a strip of red cloth around her head, acting as a sort of head band, fair skin, and brown eyes. She was pretty lean, and was about 5'. She had a navy turtleneck on. With a short black long sleeved shirt, and a metal chest plate with shoulder pads on as well, green pants, with a brown belt and a strap holding a pouch on her left side. Brown boots with metal shin guards were on her feet. She had long black gloves that reached her elbow, but were seemingly cut off at the wrist, the rest was covered by brown, leather, gloves with metal on the back of the hand, and red leather bracelets. She had a mini gun beside her.

The first of the men was tall, pretty fit, fair skin with brown hair and grey eyes with a strip of red cloth on his head as well, making his hair a little spikey, and a little stubble on his chin. He was in a light grey-green shirt with black shirt underneath, dark grey mid calf length pants which held some pockets. He had brown hoisters on his shoulders, holding a few magazines, and another around his waist, hanging lower than the green belt he was also wearing. The hoister contained two brown pouches, one on the left was smaller than the one on the right, and the right one was more towards the back. His brown boots had metal guards on top, guarding his ankles. He had a small pistol at his side, stud earrings in his ears, and wrist length brown gloves.

The second man was a bit of a heavier build, fair skin, blue eyes, and was clean shaven, with a piece of red cloth on his head, so only a tuft of brown hair was peaking out against his forehead. He was dressed in a cream colored shirt, with a dark grey long sleeved shirt underneath, reaching his elbows. Dark grey shorts with large pockets in the legs of them, and black leggings underneath that. He had metal shoulder guards on with brown straps securing them and a bandadora contained rifle rounds for his gun. He had brown suspenders with golden buckles, 2 grenade looking objects on his left, and a brown pouch on his right. He was holding a rifle on his back.

The third man was large, and muscular. He had brown skin, brown eyes behind some sunglasses he was wearing, brown hair in a bowl cut and a bit of a beard, marks on his arms, and a two jagged mark on the right side of his face, below his eye. He had beefy arms, but his right was fitted with a gatling gun from just below his elbow, and a little further out from where his hand would be. He had a black tank top and a brown vest. The vest had two breast pockets, an angled collar, and black straps across the chest. He had green pants, tucked into heavy brown boots, and dark brown pouches strapped on the sides of his belt; two on his left and one on his right. His fitted arm had a tan cloth covering, held in place by a dark brown strap.

The last man had straw blonde hair, in a spiky haircut, fair skin, and aquamarine eyes, with silver stud earrings in his ears. He was dressed in a sleeveless black turtleneck, black pants with some guards under them, tucked into black boots. Three belts ran across his waist. The top one was thinner than the other two, and holding a spiked shoulder pad, that was spray painted blue, on his left shoulder and the second, thicker band, held a magnetic scabbard on his back. The scabbard held a large, broad sword on his back. The sword was a bit longer than he was tall, and was really wide. The hilt had 2 glowing orbs embedded into it, one was glowing red, and the other was white, with a blue tint. His right hand had a black mid arm length glove with another, thicker, wrist length one with a spiked cuff. His left hand had a more intricate metal glove, with a stripe of cream cloth wrapped around the base, tucked under the glove to keep the dirt out.

He was on top of the train, as the others were hanging on the right side of it. He looked up, towards their destination, a mako reactor. It was a sort of power plant, ran by the same organization that ran everything in the city called Shinra. He knew of the dangers of the energy produced there, sucking up the planet's life force. He didn't know the specifics about this reactor, or what strains of mako were being released, but for this group, it didn't matter. The other three guys and girls were a part of a planet health enthusiast group called Avalanche, while he was just a mercenary they hired to assist in blowing the reactor. The only people in the reactor were Shinda hired security. Seeing the Shinra logo, his eyes narrow with concealed rage. He's had many bad brushes with them in his lifetime, and that's one of the reasons he took this job with Avalanche. He wanted the sinister organization to be taken down a peg or two. That, and he needed money for his own needs. He watched the Pistol Man and Brown Haired Girl take down the two security guards there. They met the Rifle Man and went to see if the larger man was there. He gave a grunt, signalling them to move on. The Pistol Man was Biggs, the girl was Jessie, the Rifle Man was Wedge, and the Gatling Arm Man was Barrett, if he recalled correctly.
