DDS: Chapter 0: A Long Road To Freedom:Part 0 (Open Rp)

Tseng was not having much luck with the transportation. All the man knew was that he was alone again. It was a bit of an annoyance. The Turk's first move was to look at his appearance. His dark eyes moved to look body over, allowing him to see he was fully dressed and seemed to be rather human. "Good." He did approve of the fact he wasn't a fish anymore. His hands moved to check his pockets, making sure he had ammo and his gun. Those two things were the most important items he had. His materia was tucked nicely into his gun, his ID badge hooked onto the inside of his suit jacket. Everything was situated on his person, so he turned his focus to his surroundings.

He was in the middle of a forest, no idea where he was. It was a rather simple forest in his opinion as he checked his surroundings. There were just trees. He let out a sigh as he moved to head what seemed to be east by the position of the sun breaking through the trees. He was on high alert due to the possibility of heartless appearing. He'd had a few run ins with the strange beasts. He'd had to fend off his fair share of them with Elena when they were in a strange world the locals called 'China'. But, he was managing the world jumping better than he expected. He had a bit of a panic attack when he realized he'd appeared underwater with fins and a tail.

It all seemed to be right out of a children's book.

The Turk walked a while until he heard some strange noises. He slowed his pace and moved to stand a bit closer to a nearby tree. He did not want to be caught off guard by what was coming. He carefully pulled his gun from his holster and waited. He didn't want any surprises and he had no idea who or what was going to walk into the clearing. Tseng was in a strange world that was very different from his own. He did not know what to expect.

Listening to his surroundings, there didn't seem much happening anymore. Whatever it was, it had moved further away from them. Likely it wouldn't just show out soon, he didn't know. Fuhito instead focused on what appeared to be a man in a suit. As the man suddenly moved slowly forward, the former strategist of AVALANCHE looked calm at what slowly appeared a more... familiar figure in a sense. It was harder to pinpoint from the back , but he did catch the man's face from the side as he was looking around.

Honestly, Fuhito was thinking out his chances, this was definitely a Turk. What was he even doing here. This hadn't seemed to be the Planet any longer. Well, the Turk... Tseng, now Fuhito remembered, he had studied most members of ShinRa during his time with AVALANCHE and didn't doubt his ability to recall faces and names. Especially when he created most plans within the group. Tseng seemed to be very cautious and alone as things were, so Fuhito didn't think the man knew where he was.

Leaving his crouched position, Fuhito smiled calm as he spoke up while walking in a slow fashion towards the Turk, "aren't you rather far away from home? Or has ShinRa taken to studying forests instead of killing them?" He did keep a good gap in-between, if there were any other Turks, he was well willing to just leave this place for now. He still was getting used to being alive again and didn't like to take the chances until he got used to his body as it was. Last time he thought his body was well capable of taking down a Turk, which had proven... to work against him.

His eyes, while he kept Tseng within his sight, scanned a little the area behind the Turk and the road to see whether there was truly nothing there. He had a feeling someone or something was around here somewhere, so Fuhito was extra careful as he took his position and halted there.

Tseng continued his slow pace forward as his eyes surveyed his surroundings. The sound of the few animals and insects nearby not changing at all as he moved toward the next tree. However, movement to his right and a familiar voice stopped his advance as he re-positioned himself to face in the direction of the noise. The Director watched as the figure moved from the bush in his direction. The voice was familiar and set a red flag off in his mind. There was danger. That much was obvious as he listened. This person knew exactly who he was. A ShinRa Turk. The suit was always a dead giveaway to someone from Gaia.

The moment the figure hit the light, Tseng immediately recognized him. Fuhito. The former mastermind behind the original AVALANCHE. The start of the chaos that forced him into the role of Director in the first place.

Tseng's facial expression grew very stern. His eyes narrowed faintly while his lips pressed together in a straight line. The Turk raising his fire arm and positioning his stance better to handle the recoil of his gun when he fired it. Though, the questions on his mind almost overtook his urge to just take the scientist out. How was he alive and standing here? If the ancients were correct, he should have returned to the lifestream. Not be standing here, alive and breathing before his eyes. None of this made sense. The Turk's leader had to have died. How else was any of this even possible?

Fuhito's eyes moved behind his glasses and Tseng simply watched the man as he proceeded forward. The Director had seen Fuhito mostly in pictures and surveillance at the time. Only meeting the man face to face one or two times over the years of hunting the original AVALANCHE. The main interaction being when it was revealed that Rufus was the mole that was feeding AVALANCHE resources and information to have his father assassinated.

"I suggest you stop and keep your hands where I can see them, Fuhito." The Director warned. He didn't give the scientist a response to his rhetorical question. Both being rather unaware of anyone or anything else in the area. His full attention on the formally dead man before him.

As the man came with a 'no', Fuhito merely shrugged, it was not like he was expecting much for response from this man. So it seemed he was not being given any information, but it appeared that the other did want information from him. A mere smile was on his face for a moment, "I doubt this is going to go anywhere," he responded, completely ignoring the question. He started to scan the area some more before letting his eyes fall back on Tseng, "and really now. This is not the best place for trouble, I have a feeling we're being watched." He wanted to make it certain that the Turk would understand what situation they were in to begin with.

Fuhito didn't really know what happened after his death. That his plans were even used after his demise by AVALANCHE when Barret had them to deal with a Reactor. Much of his work survived quite long and possibly even now not everything was completely gone. The many secrets Fuhito had hidden would be of use to him and AVALANCHE did have several bases hidden. Not only that, but Fuhito was quite good at remembering his work and he was not going to give up that easily.

The faint gunshot had Fuhito only shift his eyes a little, "so what are you going to do?" he raised, not caring much that he was still having a gun pointed at him. If anything, he can shift into his other form quite easily, but it wasn't something he wanted to give away that easily. Next to that, he had his own modified gun still with him and had enough distance to avoid anything Tseng could currently throw at him. He did lack any Materia, which was disappointing, but it mattered fairly little in Fuhito's mind.

The Director of the Turks knew when he was not going to get answers. This was going to be a useless discussion. To be completely honest, Tseng should not have expected any differently from Fuhito. The man was not one to explain himself or give away any secrets. Tseng was almost looking forward to wiping that smug smile off the former AVALANCHE leader's face. At least Cloud was actually out to try and save the planet, not annihilate the entire human race. Fuhito was one of the few people that Tseng knew could not be allowed to live. Another being Fuhito's idol, Hojo. Both were far too dangerous and with the lack of information coming from Fuhito, he was not worth the stress of keeping alive to get back to Gaia.

Tseng did not let his gun lower as he watched the man ahead of him. All the problems he had caused. He had manipulated the former Turk Director's daughter into this cause. It was far too complicated. It was ironic though. The company had been the cause of the damage to the Planet. They were currently switching to other forms of energy such as solar and coal.

To think that Fuhito almost killed Rufus, the man that was pushing with Reeve Tuesti, formerly of ShinRa, to help get the planet back on track after all the chaos. Tseng completely disregarded the man's statement about being watched. He knew that already. But, he needed to finish things up. He answered the next question very calmly. "Take you into custody and back to ShinRa. As that's not an option..." He started as he aimed his gun to actually shoot, something happened.

A creature that he'd encountered multiple times before appeared, practically falling out of a tree. This stopped the Director's current actions of killing Fuhito and had his attention on the shadow. He'd already come to learn that the heartless of these worlds were like the fiends of his. But something was different. It spoke. Tseng's gun moved from Fuhito to the creature, but the Director did not speak back, his eyes on both Glade and Fuhito. He was not sure which was the bigger threat at the moment.
