Prophetic Entities (Complete)

Chapter 19

               It was only around an hour or so by the time Sasha had landed the Airship outside of a massive arrangement of buildings, city sectors, and strange Architecture. "Woah..." She breathed, trying to figure out the madness behind it all, as she stepped off the ship.

Angeal managed a grin. "Destination reached. Everyone... welcome to Midgar." Takumi immediately ran off of the ship and looked up at the large buildings, bright smile on her face.

"Wow! It's just like being back home in Shibuya!" She replied.

"Hey, take it easy, you're still out of it." Zidane called.

She giggled, spinning around a bit before looking back at the group. "I don't care! I like this place just from looking at it!"

"Whoa, she is insane..." Emma said, then mumbled to herself, "Maybe she will find a nice train to give a hug to..." Sasha smirked at Takumi, not sure what to think about her suddenly positive attitude. She shrugged it off, smiling, hoping that meant good things to come, at least.

They arrived in a run-down area, which Zack explained to them, called, 'The Slums.' He told the group that it was pretty much the wasteland of Midgar. Sasha thought that was pretty sad, but knew from her home that there are those who are lucky, and there are those who are not.

Soon, they made their way onto a train, which quickly took them to a nice Plaza-like area, a large fountain in front, people walking and talking all around. It felt like a decent place to live, especially considering how much better off it seemed then the Slums. Zack and Angeal led them into a large, towering building, which Angeal informed them was Shinra Headquarters.

"How do you find your way around?" Sasha said, almost feeling light-headed after looking at the way up to the top.

Zack laughed, "Well, most people only have access to only a limited number of floors. You all, for example, won't be able to get past the main entrance, which includes the help desk, some stairs to a café up top, and the museum."

"So in other words, this place is basically one giant maze to those who don't know any better." Takumi replied. "It's pretty huge... Wonder how the other floors look."

"It's nothing extravagant." Angeal replied.

"So, why is the lady at the Receptionist Desk staring at Zack so intently?" Zidane asked.

Emma smirked. "Someone have a little crush on Zack?" She took a step back from Takumi.

"It wasn't Takumi you should've stepped away from." Sasha simply said, smacking Emma on the back of the head with decent force.

Emma said in a whiny voice to Sasha, "Moommmmyyyyyy, I'm only having fun!!"

Sasha turned to look to Emma from her sitting spot, and rolled her eyes, "Unless your mother thought you were a blundering ignoramus, I don't think we have much in common. So, we just wait here while you guys take care of business?" She asked Angeal, sitting down against a wall.

"Yes. We shouldn't be very long, Lazard is a lenient person." Angeal stated. "Cloud, Zack, shall we?"

Zack ruffled Takumi's hair a bit. "I'll be back soon, try not to get into trouble."

"What am I, a puppy?"

"No, that would be me." He turned to leave. "You are my new master, however..." He said, a bit more to himself.

Takumi sighed a bit. 'I'm gonna see if I can maneuver a little.' Then she carefully snuck up the steps, giggling to herself. As soon as she had reached the top of the stairs, a man with long, greying dark hair tied into a ponytail wearing a white lab coat. "Oh, um... S-Sorry..."
