Enjoy!)

Ace knew he really should not be in this area, really he should not but he was curious about the war. The many wars he had been in the middle of had been because of him or rather his old body. They wanted to claim him so they could control the world and become ultimate leader or something stupid.

Ace, 'Hmm... Something is wrong here.'

Sephiroth who had been preparing to leave the battlefield was surprised to see the dragon rider. The other SOLDIERs were watching the newcomer warily and the silver haired general waved at the rider. Ace saw him and went down greeting him and asked him why the camp was looking like it was barely holding together. Sephiroth winced and muttered the supplies were destroyed a few days ago.

"Who is this young lad?"

Sephiroth, "Mr Heidegger."

Heidegger looked at Ace, "Are you here to supply things, pretty boy?"

Ace raised his eyebrow and released a bit of killing intent making Heidegger sweat a bit, "Yes, in fact, I brought food for everyone."

Sephiroth, "That's a relief, Genesis was getting short tempered over the rations."

Genesis, "Sephiroth, you are still here? Ace?"

Ace, "Yo! I brought you food, Nibelheim specials."

Genesis perked up, "The soldiers will love it."

Sephiroth, "I'll leave you in Genesis's hands. I need to return to Shinra and give my report. Take care my friend."

Ace handed Sephiroth a small tiffin, "Of course, Sephiroth. Here, something for the journey."

Ace requested some of the soldiers help him unpack, saying it was all food. After the distribution he went looking for Zack and gave him the letter from Cloud then the letter containing photos of Cloud cross dressing. That had Zack turning red in the face much to Ace's amusement and then he started to snoop around. Zack was a bit hesitant but the idea of learning secrets had him joining Ace.

Ace, "Well, well."

Zack, "Are you hacking the equipment here? Seriously?"

Ace started to call, "I have my reasons. Hello Tseng? Ace here, remember what I said before about helping you figure out where half the Turks resources was going. I have a solid lead now but I need you to build the trap in Shinra."

Tseng, "Ho? I'm listening."

Ace told him how he had hacked into the equipment and found a surprising lack or rather a lot of dissent in the list. Most of them had Heidegger signing off on it and Ace had a feeling he was not the only one. Tseng listened to the reasoning carefully without getting angry though it couldn't be said the same for the other Turks listening in. Almost all of them had lost one partner or another during their missions because of either lack of equipment or back up.

None of the were happy to hear it was happening all over Shinra. To make it worse it was set up in a way that the Turks would blame the SOLDIERs and the SOLDIERs would blame the Turks. They were not happy to learn they were being used as a scapegoat especially by someone as irritating as Heidegger. Yeah, they would not be letting this rest and turning everything over Heidegger's head. They may not be able to touch Heidegger directly but Mr Shinra can, especially when it came to money.

Heidegger felt a shiver go down his spine, 'What was that?'

Tseng, "Boys! Girls! Time to hunt."

"Sir, yes sir!"
