It had been a long time indeed since she had been in a situation like this. The day was into its final hours and the Station was all but completely abandoned apart from Elena standing by the steps, her mind completely focused on the task at hand. The day had been a long one, Elena had finally come to grips with this 'Twilight Town' and all of its local customs, to be honest it seemed almost the perfect place for President Shinra to take control of once the company grew once more; with all these new worlds to explore Elena figured that he'd want to expand and so went off on a little recon mission to find out more.
In all of her investigations however, Elena had come across something strange, something that she had never heard of nor seen before. It was a strange mixture to be sure, a bright blue colour and cold to the touch, even now she wasn't sure what to do with it. Was it professional? Should she wait for someone else? No! She was a Turk, and Elena was more than capable of doing this herself...okay. Nodding herself into self-assurance, Elena quickly did the deed and closed her eyes tightly should she worst happen.
Nothing. Actually, not nothing but something GOOD. Yes, very good in fact. No, not even that but amazing! Elena opened her eyes as the cold tingle dissapeared and a smile crossed her lips as she came to the conclusion; Sea Salt Ice Cream was more than satisfactory!
Leaning back onto the wall of the Train Station, Elena continued slowly eating her ice cream as she watched the sun go down on the town. It was a strange feeling that she wasn't working and that she had found something that she enjoyed on a foreign planet. Maybe this was what Reno and Rude had meant by 'vacation' all that time ago in Wutai. But the guilt remained that she wasn't being more proactive in helping the President or the Turks which lead Elena's mind to drift about the outcome of this 'war' between light and dark.
Sure, the war was big news no matter where you came from, however The Turks weren't to take part unless they were ordered to do so, for now they were bystanders doing nothing to either aid or hinder either side. Elena didn't really mind as long the next sun rose in the morning, other than that it wasn't her concern unless she was told it was.
Finishing her ice cream as the sun completely faded from view, Elena sighjed contented with herself and tossed the stick it had been on aside. Still leaning on the wall she looked up at the moon and decided that she wanted to stay, at least a little longer.

Hopefully Cid would not notice that Tseng borrowed the gummi-ship. But, it was the only way that the Turk could follow up the lead he had received. If he had informed Cloud or Cid of the possibility of a turk in Twilight Town, they'd of pushed it off or claimed it was faulty information. This was the first lead he had gotten in the past few months, so he decided to take the risk and follow it.
The gummi-ship was left hidden and safe as the Wutainese Turk walked away from it's location. He checked over all the data again before continuing his walk. The chances of him finding a Turk here was slim to none, especially this late. But he had this feeling he was going to run into someone he knew.
He was wearing a pair of comfortable jeans and a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His normally loose long hair was pulled into a low ponytail to keep it out of his way while he helped out around the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee Base. He couldn't simply take Aerith's kindness without paying them back somehow. The plus side was that he was learning about gummi-ships along with any information that Avalanche gained along the way.
Hopefully, some information about Rufus would show up. The Turk had only a brief run-in with the President before he was kidnapped by Kadaj. Even with Vincent and Tifa helping Tseng, they still managed to let Rufus slip away. However, not before the President informed Tseng of a truce between ShinRa and Avalanche. It was not good news when the Turk first heard of it. But now, it was some of the best news he could have received. Because of the truce, he'd been able to get Avalanche to help him scout out Rufus.
After looking around town, he had run into a few people. None of them had seen anyone that resembled any of the Turks, Rufus, or the remnants. As he came upon the train station, there were fewer people here. Maybe this was because the sun had gone down. Great, Cid would be missing the Turk soon and possibly the gummi-ship. Yet, the Turk had a feeling that he should at least check around the train station before leaving back to Radiant Garden.
That's when he noticed a women in a black suit-like outfit. It was hard to tell if it was a suit or not. So, he started to walk in the general direction before pausing for a moment when he was close enough. A relieved expression appeared on his face as he watched her staring at the sky. "Elena."

Almost lost in her daydream, Elena's mind was slowly beginning to drift away from all of her duties and in turn all of her cares. It was a nice feeling to not care, if only for a short while at least, before she would have to get back to work to the job that never ends. As she began to slip more and more into this comfortable state Elena became less aware of her surroundings and the people in them, by the time a certain dark haired man appeared on the scene Elena could be struck as completely clueless.
As soon as she heard her name however, Elena was ripped from her comfortable day dream and rudely was back in reality. Brown eyes quickly darting around her environment she saw no-one of note other than a long haired man in casual attire, although initially her gaze quickly flickered away from him it returned suddenly as she came to a realisation, "Tseng! I-I mean-"
Suddenly moving away from the wall and straightening up Elena smoothed down her jacket and made sure that she wasn't missing anything before she spoke again, "I'm sorry! I didn't recognise you- I mean I'm grateful you are here, actually I mean...It's good to see you safe and sound."
Yes, Elena was always the rookie around Tseng and little seemed to have changed in all that time that she had been a member of the Turks, even the situation in the Northern Crater had seen her do little in the way of growing professionally although to be fair on her self-critisism the ShinRa Company had collapsed before that leaving her little else to do than guarding the President from all harm and to carry out personal orders.
"I was checking this world for....valuable resources! Yes, I can't say its perticularly useful but its basic." Elena nodded, attempting to save some face from being found as she had been. Although in actual fact she was trying to figure out WHY Tseng was dressed as a civilian, albeit a smart one, and looked so different than normal. All the while Elena was talking about her 'checking for valuable resources,' she was unaware of the remnent of ice cream on the corner of her mouth that was still there.

[Hm, I wonder if anyone else is going to join in. ^^']
----
Elena didn't seem to notice him when he approached her. Though, this was typical of Elena. She was the newest Turk, but she did have a lot of experience. So, she really should have been aware of her surroundings. Especially in unfamiliar territory.
So, when Tseng spoke her name, it seemed that the Wutainese man had interrupted the rookie's daydream. Normally he wouldn't feel bad about doing so, but in this case he did since she wasn't on duty. Honestly, Tseng didn't want to scare her either. Yet he still managed to do just that. At least he didn't have a gun pointed in his face.
At first, Elena cast her gaze right over him and this amused Tseng a bit. However, she managed to place him and stutter out the correct name. Not long after she was standing straight and fixing her coat. It was almost like she had been caught with her hand in a cookie jar or something. Yet, she continued her babbling as if she needed to explain everything within the first minute of conversation. It was very like Elena.
The rookie then began to talk about a "valuable resource" in the Town but chalked it down to basic by the end of her statement. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a bit of something on the corner of her mouth. So, deductive reasoning meant food of some type. Tseng felt an amused expression appear on his face. "Elena. You have something here." As he said here, he gestured to the corner of his mouth. Hopefully she didn't spaz about it or get too embarrassed. Then again, he didn't put it past Elena in the slightest.
If anything, he was just glad to see her alive and well just as she was glad to see him. After a moment he glanced down at his attire. "I apologize for not being in uniform, but unfortunately I tore my jacket and I haven't been able to find another."

(Makes ya think ;D) Standing up right, Elena's mind began racing with a million different reasons as to why Tseng was dressed out of uniform. The first one was that maybe he dressed like this when he wasn't working? Maybe he dressed like this a lot normally and Elena just hadn't taken note of it before. Worse still! Maybe he had been attacked and injured, forcing him to take on a guise of an average person on the street. But it would make more sense to listen to Tseng himself and not assume so much within the first moments of meeting up with him again.
But it wasn't his attire, Elena's appearence on a strange world or even her seemingly neglectful attitude to her duties that caught the head Turk's attention. No it was the appearence of the strange substance on Elena's face. As it was pointed out to her Elena reached one hand up to the wrong side first of all, although when she watched Tseng's actions she quickly shifted to the other side where she found the rogue evidence of her eating. Wiping it away with her thumb, Elena's eyes widened ever so slightly out of embarresment; no it WASN'T the biggest crime in the world to eat ice-cream, but to Elena it was the fact that Tseng of all people had noticed.
When it was explained to her that Tseng had damaged his jacket and hadn't been able to find another, Elena's mind switched from worrying about her own social embarresment in front of her boss, but now to Tseng's safety albeit that he was obviously VERY safe and not drastically injured. But of course this meant nothing to the mind that cared deeply about him.
"Damaged? What happened to you? It wasn't AVALANCHE taking a petty form of revenge by attacking you alone was it? I've heard talk about a man with Cloud's description, did he do this?" Elena quickly realised that she was beginning to jumpe to conclusions once more, but unlike her earlier years where she wouldn't notice Elena now reigned herself in and took control of her mouth, "It doesn't matter. I suppose it would make more sense to let you explain in your own time."

OOC: This post totally stinks! Forgive me T____T;; The sun was setting and the residents of Twilight Town were about to head back to their homes and get ready for dinner and perhaps bed. Typical behavior really of ordinary, every day people just going about their lives. This world, this city in particular was an interesting one. Beautiful in some places. Mysterious in others. But like many other worlds out there, this one was full of Light. An reminder to the people of this world that things here at least were safe for now. Save from the Heartless. Save from the Darkness. But there was those who didn't fear the Light and one such being had received a tip off that an old friend had been sighted in this world. Naturally, the temptation couldn't be resisted to head to the world and pay them a little visit, not only to greet them, but perhaps to also rub in the painful truth that some special man dressed in a white coat was currently being held captive by a powerful user of the Darkness.
And that's exactly what he planned to do.
The immediate area surrounding both the two Turks started to gain a dangerously powerful Dark feeling to it and mere seconds later, the eerie groan of a Dark Portal erupted on to the scene, the Portal itself making itself know by opening up just a short distance behind the female Turk, Elena. A figure dressed in black clothing and shoulder length silver hair strode out from the portal, his eyes glowing brightly with the power of Mako which instantly locked onto the back of the blonde woman's head before flicking off towards the casually dressed Tseng. Well well, seems like the intel was doubly correct. Not only was the rumoured Elena supposed to be here but Tseng was here too! That's two birds with one stone! As the figure known as Kadaj stood still after leaving the Portal, he remained silent as he heard the name of Cloud escape the lips of the female Turk.
"Cloud eh? I'm looking for him..." Kadaj spoke, not caring whether or not he intrupted the conversation between the two Turks. They were professional amateurs anyway and didn't even pose a speck of threat towards the Remnant Leader. Besides, Rufus was in Kadaj's custody and he knew, Tseng at least, wouldn't do anything stupid. But that made the Remnant wonder for a moment. Had he arrived too early? Did Elena know of the President's situation? Kadaj's powerful eyes glanced back towards Tseng and he gave the Turk a smirk before tilting his head upwards a fraction, looking down upon the long haired man. "Be a good boy Tseng, and tell me where I can find Cloud." Kadaj's voice was cold, but not necessarily sinister. His Souba was still within it's sheath and the creaking of leather could be heard as the silver-haired youth was seen folding his arms across his chest.
It was clear that Kadaj wasn't here on hostile terms, but who know with the Remnants? All the current signs however indicated this to be the truth; arms folded, weapon sheathed, yet he was ready and willing to draw his Souba and attack both these mindless fools if either one of them drew a gun on him. Knowing Elena, it would seem Kadaj would have to play for a little bit before he'd get any information from these two. Fine by him, but the silver-haired youth raises an eyebrow as he glanced back Tseng's way once more. No Turk suit? What was this about? "I see you've finally ditched that suit. Have you finally realized that you're not going to get Rufus back and that leaving the Turks is your best option?" Kadaj asked, a smug smirk plastered across his face.

[Yes, it does Elena. Haha. Though, I had backup info if needed.
Kadaj - Oh, I don't believe I'll forgive you! I want to know how you're behind Elena if she was just against a wall, mister! *smiles* I'll just pretend you said Tseng. You're forgiven. I wish I had horrible posts like that. It make my good ones look bad. ^_^]
----
Elena was right about two things, Tseng did dress similar to his current attire when he was not on duty. She was also correct in stating he'd been attacked. Yet, he didn't dress in his street clothes to hide. Tseng was wearing street clothes because he looked funny walking around with a ruined suit. Boy, Elena's mind sure could come up with a lot of scenarios.
When Elena managed to find the ice cream on her face after a few tries, Tseng was sure she'd start apologizing wildly for not real reason. But he really couldn't say much about her eating habits. If she wanted to eat ice cream, then so be it. The Turks needed to keep alive, and food was needed. Thankfully, it seemed Elena realized that and simply became embarrassed. That would be a normal reaction.
However, it seemed there was a reason she didn't have a chance to babble an unneeded apology about the ice cream. It seemed she had become focused on the fact that he ripped his suit then anything else. Yet, Tseng didn't understand why it mattered so much to her. However, when she mentioned Cloud's name, the Director shook his head lightly in response. After a moment, Elena managed to find her "off" switch and act rationally for the first time so far this meeting. "It's alright Elena. A lot has happened and I'm not sure where to-"
Tseng stopped talking when he felt a strange feeling. It was familiar, but it wasn't something he wanted to remember. That's when Kadaj's voice entered their conversation along with the sound of a portal. Tseng's expression moved from content to his work face. Instantly, Tseng turned his back to Elena and stood between her and Kadaj. The remnant had already taken Rufus. He was not laying a hand on another of the Turks. Especially Elena of all of them. He'd harmed her once before and Tseng was damned if he was going to allow her that same experience again.
Kadaj was calm and standing there like he knew Tseng wasn't going to lay a finger on him. Sadly, Kadaj was right. With Rufus in Kadaj's grasp, Tseng couldn't do a thing unless he wanted to get Rufus into trouble. However, it did not mean Tseng was going to be forthcoming with any information. Especially about Cloud.
Tseng kept a blank expression and held his ground. "Even if I did know where Cloud was, I don't believe I'd inform you of his location." Hopefully Elena would take the hint and not try to start a fight. Yes, they were in a Light world. But, it was late and Tseng was still injured a bit from his last run-in with Kadaj. This time, at least, it seemed like Kadaj was just here to gloat about Rufus. So, there wasn't a need for Tseng's gun unless he saw a good enough opening to take.
That's when Tseng's attire was brought up once more. Tseng felt his eyes narrow at the idea of him abandoning the Turks. "No. It was damaged when you took Rufus." This was Elena's subtle hint that there was a fight between Tseng and Kadaj, that Tseng had obviously lost and that Rufus was in enemy territory as a hostage. Sadly, Tseng hadn't had a chance to inform her. But, the Director of the Turks didn't want to start the conversation with Elena that way. Especially the way she overreacted.
Tseng's eyes watched the remnant. "What are you doing here." It wasn't a question since Tseng was demanding an answer more so then usual. Kadaj wasn't that stupid to just enter Light territory without a good reason. Was he planning on attacking Elena originally? Or was is just a coincidence? Well, Tseng didn't believe in coincidences. So, there was a reason Kadaj was here and Tseng was going to find out.
The Turk continued to hold his slightly defensive stance in front of Elena. He knew she could handle herself, but it was a precaution until she was able to catch up in the conversation and shift out from behind when she was ready to defend herself.

(Same here Kadaj, I wish my good posts were as good as the ones you think are bad ^_^) __________________________________________________________
Before Tseng had any real chance to tell Elena anything about his current situation or the situation of any of the other Turks there was a cold feeling in the air that gripped Elena to the very core. As a dark aura began to appear behind Tseng, Elena had no time to react before a certain voice and figure emerged from the shadows. A figure and voice that brought a high level of fear to Elena's mind and body as she knew EXACTLY who it was before she managed to get a real good look at the man in black.
As Tseng turned to face Kadaj, Elena's hand reached to her jacket, however before she grabbed the gun handle she managed to cool her jets away from starting a full scale war as she realised that neither Kadaj or Tseng was making a move towards each other. There wouldn't be a point to starting something unless Tseng made a move first, although it only just managed to stop Elena from grabbing her firearm and filling the creepy silver-haired man with bullets.
As the two spoke, Elena listened carefully and studied the whole situation. Despite her past record, Elena had a good enough brain to study her surroundings and the things in her favour and those in the favour of her enemy.
Lowering her hand from her jacket Elena's brain raced at the moment Tseng eluded to the fact that it was KADAJ that had injured him and that the same offender had the president; facts that Elena seemed to have missed out on completely.
As Tseng wrapped up with a question to why Kadaj was here Elena couldn't hold back from jumping in with her own line of investigation, "What have you done with the President?"
Although Elena spoke in a strong and determined tone, inside she was shaking out of worry and fear; she hadn't forgotten Kadaj and his gang and needless to say that she remembered their actions the last time they met. Days....It had felt that way when she and Tseng had been captured, Elena had told them nothing at least she thought she didn't, and boy had it been Hell not to cry out with anything they had wanted.

OOC: Aww, thanks you two ^^; I really thought my first post was poop. Thanks again <3 And don't downgrade yourselves. You're both doing marvelously =D These family reunions were ever so much fun!! It had been such a long time since the leader of the three Remnants had last placed his eyes upon the feminine figure of Elena, whom Kadaj could see as he pushed some of his body weight over onto one of his legs, causing him to lean out to one side a little. Peering around the casually dressed Tseng, Kadaj just smirked at the blonde-haired woman before returning to his previous position. But there was something else about this little gathering that interested the Remnant more so then meeting Elena again and more interesting then Tseng's change of clothing. It was the fact that the Director seemed to have turned his back on his fellow Turk in a somewhat defensive attitude. One of the silver-haired youth's eyebrow perked up a fraction as his smirk turned sinister. Did these two have a thing for each other?
Kadaj placed both his hands behind his back, tolding hold of his own wrist as he begun to walk around Tseng in a wide circle motion, pausing his steps after a few seconds before stopping and walking back to his original position once more. "Tseng. The last time you lied to me, I left you dying in a pool of your own blood before handing you over to Loz and Yazoo." Kadaj spoke as he walked. When he stopped he glanced Tseng's way and smirked at him, twisting his body to face him fully. After casting a second glance past the casually dressed Turk off towards Elena, the Remnant Leader took a step towards the long haired man. "I thought you'd have learned by now, not to lie to me. So, unless you want me to get serious... Where is Cloud?" The silver-haired Remnant's voice fell a few tones, becoming much darker and more imposing. His smirk had vanished and was replaced with a glare as his eyes flashed with the power of Mako.
He stood his ground for a moment as he listened to the Director inform him that his suit was damaged from when they had last met, back in Spira. That was an awfully fun day! Shame Loz and Yazoo had to miss out on it. They could have done with some exercise. Kadaj's sinister smirk returned to his face as he turned his back on Tseng and walked off a few paces. "Aww, your suit was damaged? I hope I didn't hurt it too badly... You come to get your seamstress here to fix it for you?" Kadaj joked sarcastically, turning around and quickly throwing his arm out before him, pointing a gloved finger towards Tseng, but was actually pointing towards Elena behind him. Kadaj laughed lightly out loud and returned his arm back down to his side when hearing the female voice of Elena call out from behind the Director. What? Was she too scared to face Kadaj personally that she had to hide behind this guy?
The silver-haired Remnant suddenly vanished within a cluster of black crow-like feathers, which fell down to the ground and disintegrated upon impact with the solid floor. A short distance behind Tseng, right next to Elena, another cluster of feathers appeared from out of thin air with Kadaj himself emerging from the middle. He stepped in close to Elena and raised up his right hand, attempting to grasp her by the lower jaw/chin and force her to look at him. Kadaj stared at her closely, his eyes narrowed dangerously as his turquoise cat-like eyes glowed brightly. A second or two later and the Remnant released his grip, taking a small step backwards. "I can smell your fear Elena. I can see it despite how hard you're trying to hide it. You remember me and you remember what I did to you inside the Northern Crater.... Don't ever forget it, least you want me to remind you how it felt!" Kadaj threatened, smirking at her throughout. He stared at her for another moment before glancing off to his right, back towards Tseng and grinned at him. Turning his back on Elena, he walked off a short distance before stopping and turning back to face the Turks.
"You won't ever see Rufus again unless you do EXACTLY as I command. Refuse, and I'll head to his location right now and remove his head from his shoulders, which I'll bring back to you in a black box wrapped in yellow tape..." Kadaj warned, his eyes flashing dangerously as he threatened the Turks.

[Aww, thanks. But yours still make the post interesting. So don't downgrade yourself either.]
---
Tseng watched the Remnant leader very closely as he walked in a half circle around them. However, the Director of the Turks held his ground and kept a close eye on Kadaj while holding his defensive position in front of Elena. Tseng was not going to let Elena get hurt. She was one of the Turks and he was in charge of her so he would not let any harm befall her.
After a moment, Kadaj managed to make it back to his starting position and comment on the Northern Cavern incident. Yes, he had left Tseng in a puddle of his own blood. But, Tseng had not really lied. If he did know where Cloud was, he would not tell Kadaj. Well, Tseng knew Avalanche's location and he wasn't planning on informing Kadaj of it. So, Tseng just watched the remnant, not taking the time to form a response. It did not need one.
When Kadaj finally took a step toward the two Turks, Tseng narrowed his eyes threaten and stood a bit straighter to Elena completely blocked behind him. The two where now in a glaring match. "Like I said, I wouldn't tell you if I knew. That's the truth." Tseng was not going to be taken advantage of here. Cloud trusted him at the moment thanks to Aerith. There was no way he would disobey the trust.
After a few moments with the stare down, Kadaj finally turned and walked a few steps away. This relieved Tseng since he felt like he was going to collapse under the stare. That's when he insulted Elena with the seamstress comment before turning and pointing at the two. Tseng continued to glare at the remnant but again did not take the time to respond to Kadaj.
That's when Kadaj vanished. Tseng instantly began to survey the area in front of him. He knew Elena could handle herself for the moment, so he did not look back at her. If he did, and Kadaj attacked, it could have ended badly. However, he didn't think that Kadaj would manage to squeeze into the small space between Elena and the wall. But, he did.
With a swift motion, he turned to swat Kadaj's hand away from Elena. "Keep your hands off her." He half growled at Kadaj. Sadly, the remnant walked away from Elena a few moments later anyway. So, Kadaj had accomplished whatever he was trying to do. Tseng was inwardly cursing himself with being too slow. It was the same thing with Rufus as well. He had been too slow.
Tseng shifted his gaze back at Elena, checking her for any marks. She seemed fine, possibly a little shaken up. How dare he threaten her like that. That's when Kadaj started to speak again. The threats continued to flow off his horrid tongue. It seemed that he didn't let anyone get away without threats. Maybe he threatened Loz and Yazoo as well.
"For all we know, Rufus is dead as we speak and you are simply using us. So we won't do anything you ask us to unless we have proof of him still breathing." Tseng knew how this worked. The Director wasn't going to just give into Kadaj's words without doing anything else.

As Elena watched the silver-haired remnant with a cold glare, although she was mostly glad and assured that Tseng was standing between her and it, a wave of shame washed over her as she thought that she was better than this; a Turk didn't hide behind someone else to fight the battle for them, nor did they let an injured comrade take the brunt of the force of an enemy. But Elena couldn't help it, she was thankful for Tseng being protective even if he was wounded from facing Kadaj earlier. Within that thankful mindset came the shame to Elena as a person and as a Turk.
Kadaj recounted the Northern Crater, something Elena doubted would shake the iron-will of Tseng, but it was a painful enough memory to possibly make him flinch or doubt himself? Elena certainly was shaken but for now her job of masking it from the remnant seemed to be going down without a hitch. Or so it seemed to be.
As Tseng refused to give any information up to Kadaj, Elena's mind raced with why Tseng could be protecting him. What did THEY owe AVALANCHE? Nothing. In fact AVALANCHE had been the source of all their aggrovation not so long ago, but here Tseng was now seemingly protecting them. But maybe he really didn't know and was trying to bluff Kadaj into thinking that he had valuable information to trade for the President, but why refuse to even negotiate?
Then it hit. Seamstress. Elena's blood boiled instantly at that moment and every impulse told her to grab a gun and start shooting until the body stopped twitching. Despite this urge there was nothing that Elena could do that would relieve her combined anger, fear and concern, not only would fighting endanger Tseng but she was sure that even with Tseng at full strength they stood little chance in the way of matching Kadaj's strength and speed.
But he vanished. Like a dark spectre into the shadows of a feathery portal Kadaj was gone, Elena took up her guard, watching the surroundings ahead of her. As she took one step towards Tseng she suddenly felt very cold and within less than a second a cold grip around her neck and jaw as Kadaj took a hold of her. Her eyes meeting his, Elena's heart pounded like it was about to explode. This swirling pools of psychopathic rage and evil seemed to read Elena's mind and told her that she was thinking. Although only brief it felt much longer to her before she was released from his grip and left alone for now.
Threats. Against the President? Kadaj really did hold all the cards for now, it didn't help that Elena wasn't contributing to Tseng's efforts in any active way, the only thing that she could do for now is be there to support him should it all take a turn for the worst.
Without saying a word Elena stepped forwards so she was level with Tseng now, her mind cast back to why Kadaj would take the President; to get the Turks on board by force. If they flat out refused then Rufus served no purpose and would be killed, then again if they accepted it was likely he would die anyway as soon as he lost interest in commanding the Turks. For now it was best that they at least consider the things that Kadaj asked. ____________________________________________

(Sorry i'm late Brother. D: Then sorry for sloppy post.. :?) A roaring engine could be herd echoing throughout a small portion of Twilight town. This roaring was being created by a black motorcycle. Everyone in town who saw it rolling through also noticed a rather large man riding it. His outfit was as black as the night sky and was smooth as a milkshake. Once seeing his eyes one could see they had a green glow to them. This very man is known as Loz a Remnant of Sephiroth.
Soon that tiger like engine could be herd in the Central Station. Slowly, his bike started to come to a halt when he saw two Turks and Kadaj, in the distance. With ease, he brought one leg over to the other and stood up. Loz turned off the engine and began to approach the group in small steps. "Brother." He said softly. Almost immediately his attention turned to Tseng and Elena. The girl just looked so familiar to him.
The Turks were adept for their fighting skills and knowledge. However, the Turks were also like snakes in a way. You see Loz thought you could never trust a Turk, because they always have some way to interfere. That is when he remembered who that girl was. She was the Turk , himself and his brothers fought. Step after step Loz got closer to the three people before himself. "Kadaj, you found some play mates?"
This Remnant just loves to play with others. Though when he says play he means fight until someone gets knocked out. Once he reached the side of his brother Loz came to a full stop and just waited. One day everyone will give adulation to his brother Kadaj. Once that happens no one will ever mess with the Remnants again. That is if Yazoo will still stand by brother as well.
Knowing Kadaj Loz knew that he might start an altercation with the Turks. Meaning there is going to be a lot of 'excitement' for this particular Remnant. A small grin started to form, just from the thought of a fight. Without a doubt in his mind Loz knew the Turks were antiquated. So there should be no way they are a real threat right? On the other hand, the bear like Remnant would be apocryphal.
Loz actually admired his younger brothers astute mind. It was very creative mind that brought everything to life. Really, if Kadaj would be taken out of the picture the Remnants would be nothing. Well, that is in the eyes of this Remnant. His glowing green eyes now just jolted all around. He was trying to take in the whole area, and look at the scenery for a moment. "Well brother?" He said softly again.

[OOC: I hope you guys don't mind if I join in =P] They called it Twilight Town.
He had been here for several hours doing recon of the town in the continuing search for his brother, and despite the passage of time Weiss had taken a subconscious note that the moon had not moved whatsoever. For a moment his bright blue eyes were transfixed upon the gallant sphere, before lowering their gaze to look upon the town from the roof of a moderately tall shop. Despite it being the middle of the night, most of the streets still appeared crowded but moderately quiet.
At least it was until the distant roar of an engine came from afar, and from the pitch in the sound it sounded like a motorcycle. It was of no concern to the white haired swordsman who remained crouched on his perch, watching the streets below with a narrowed glare of surveillance. However a sudden outburst of women screaming, and several groups of people moving to the sides of the brick road caught his attention. They appeared to be making way for some reckless daredevil who was the apparent driver of the detected motorbike. Weiss took note of several distinct features about the man as he sped on by, most notably the direction in which he was headed, and then took off across the rooftops to keep from losing the Remnant.
The Tsviet slowed his pace as the rev of the bike's engine began to die down, until at last it had gone silent completely. If there was one thing Weiss knew about Sephiroth's little clan was that they rarely worked alone, and it was in this understanding that he took up pursuit. It seemed highly irregular for Loz to be wandering through this world of his own accord, so there was little doubt that one of his brothers would be close by. He kept low as he neared a suitable vantage point, which conveniently kept him out of the moonlight while he watched from above. At the far end of his view stood the Turks who seemed to have their hands full with the Remnants, yet no weapons were drawn.
A peaceful negotiation perhaps? Unlikely.
From the mere looks of it the situation seemed to be, for the time being, in a non hostile state. It was not expected to last though, and it was only a matter of moments before everything turned sour. The Turks were indeed highly trained operatives, however the likes of the two Remnants could be more than a match for the pair. None of which would last a week, much less an entire twenty four hours in Deepground. Yet this proved to be fortuitous for the Immaculate, as he was faced with a possible trail for clues regarding Nero, and so sought to make best the opportunity.
He left the shadows in a single launching step out into the air, and gracefully landed several feet behind the Remnants after a cannonball fashioned flip. As he rose to his feet his blue eyes continued to glow brightly as they locked onto the Turks through the space between Loz and Kadaj. He took a few steps to his left to stand at the smaller Remnant's left side, while keeping his eyes fixated on Tseng like a tiger eying it's prey. "I see you are missing a brother." spoke Weiss to Kadaj without bothering to look at him. If anything the words spoken were to not only point out Yazoo's absence, but to also let Kadaj know that he had been acknowledged with some bizarre form of a hello.

((OOC: *Pats Loz* Hello Brother ^^. *Pats Tseng, Elena and Weiss too so they don't feel left out* =D)) The smirk spread across the Remnant's features only revealed how much he was enjoying this little reunion between his ever such good 'friends', Tseng and Elena. It still amused the silver-haired youth to see the Director wearing more casual clothing. Wasn't the leader of the Turks intelligent enough to find some spare thread and stitch up his own suit? Seriously. It was only a few slices from his Souba. Wasn't exactly like Kadaj had sliced an arm clean off or something. Perhaps he had come to steal Elena's suit? Kadaj's turquoise eyes fell back upon the female Turk and eyed her up and down a couple times, noticing that she was smaller then Tseng plus her suit was designed to shape her feminine curves and thus wouldn't fit Tseng. Pity. He'd have looked ridiculous in her suit.
After walking away from Elena, turning around to stare at her afterwards, Kadaj noticed that she had fallen silent for the time being, perhaps battling with her fears or maybe trying to overcome the shock of having been in such close proximity of the Remnant Leader. Maybe his touch against her jaw caused the memories of Northern Crater to come flooding back? He just smirked at her before glancing towards Tseng as he heard him state he wanted solid proof that Rufus was alive and well before he's admit to helping him. That made sense really. "The President is still alive. I still have use for him... if he was dead, I'd not have come here merely to speak to you now, would I?" Kadaj said, smirking as he spread his arms away from his body as if inviting Tseng to draw his gun and take a shot at him. The Souba could be seen resting peacefully within it's sheath, strapped to the Remnant's back. Rufus was indeed alive, but whether or not Tseng would believe him was a totally different matter. Yet before Kadaj could continue to speak, the familiar roar of an engine caught his ears.
Pausing for a moment, his arms falling back down to his sides, Kadaj turned on the spot a fraction and peered off past Tseng, glancing down the street as he watched the bear-like Remnant riding towards him on his motorcycle. So Loz had arrived too? This was good, for Kadaj was worried for a moment that he had become separated from his giant brother after leaving Hollow Bastion. Turning back towards the two Turks, Kadaj smirked and raised up his arm, flicking his thumb off towards Loz while staring straight at Elena. "You remember him too, right?" The Remnant Leader said with a sneer, glancing back at Loz when he approached the group. By time the tallest of the Remnants was standing beside Kadaj, he smiled up at him while raising a hand and patting Loz on his shoulder a couple of times firmly. "Nice work in Disney Castle brother. The Light will think twice about trying to storm it again." Kadaj said before turning his head to face the Turks again. "Loz, you remember our old friends right, Tseng and Elena? They wanted to play with us inside the Northern Crater once." The silver-haired Remnant spoke again, lowering his hand down from off his shoulder as he did so, a sneering smirk still spread across his features. Perhaps the two Turks thought that they could take on Kadaj together, but now with Loz's appearance, the leader of the Remnants was certain that they'd not try anything so foolish.
That's when Kadaj felt something else in the area, his senses picking up the Darkness of that which was Weiss, yet Kadaj didn't recognize this presence at all. It was completely new to him. Even before the white-haired man had landed from his leap off the rooftops, Kadaj had already glanced over his shoulder and spotted him during his decent. His sneering smirk was instantly replaced with that of a more concerned expression as he studied the man who was slowly approaching the group. He felt incredibly powerful... and the Remnants instincts for his fellow brother kicked in straight away which lead him to glance Loz's way for a moment. He peered back Weiss' way when hearing him speak, though while his eyes were fixated on the Turks, Kadaj knew the sentence was directed towards him. (Or Loz.) "And you are...?" Was all Kadaj said in reply to the white haired man, casting a quick glance over his shoulder towards Tseng, giving him a look that said; 'You know this guy?', before he returned his glowing, turquoise eyes back towards the figure that was Weiss.

[Wow, a lot of people popped in. *patted* .....]
-----
Tseng was worried about Elena now. He wasn't sure exactly of her mental state at the moment. Yet, she wasn't curled in a ball and crying. So, that was a plus. Thankfully, after a few moments, Elena stepped out from behind Tseng and stood even with him. This told Tseng that she could handle herself and that he didn't need to go out of his way anymore. So, his stance changed a bit since he wasn't as defensive.
When Kadaj mentioned Rufus's safety, Tseng obviously didn't buy the brief speech. "I would not put it past you." The Director responded, his gaze not leaving Kadaj for a moment.
That's when he heard the motorcycle and his eyes shifted in the noises direction. If there was any hope of fighting Kadaj before, it had been ruined now with the other remnant's arrival. Tseng felt his heart drop as Loz stepped off the vehicle and start talking to Kadaj about the turks. This was not a good position to be in and Kadaj realized that right away.
However, the brother's talk was interrupted by another voice. Tseng's eyes then moved over to the new person. From the look of things, it seemed that the man was leaning more toward Kadaj's side by the look he was giving Tseng. The amount of energy the man was giving off was very scary. But the Turk stood tall, his back still to the wall of the building.
When Kadaj glanced at Tseng, the glance said it all. Kadaj had no clue who this newcomer was. This could be the perfect chance for the Turks to duck out. Especially if a power war broke out. His gaze shifted to Elena, hoping she would catch on that if a chance opened up, she should try to escape.
Honestly, Tseng had no idea who Weiss was. But if he heard the word Tsviet, it would all click. Reeve Tuesti of the WRO had dealt with Deep-ground. So, by association Rufus had learned of it as did the Turks. There wasn't too much detail, but at least the Turks know of the possible threat. They would have known more had Rufus been prepped with all his father's top secret projects when he became President. However, with everything that had been happening and the collapse of ShinRa, he never had been informed. So the turks were running blind. But, Avalanche and Vincent would know who Weiss was.
At the moment, Tseng stood where he was, watching the situation for a moment to make their escape. It would not be safe to stay much longer and the gummi ship was not too far away.
