Alexandra was on a mission, and with the resources she had on hand. She could only take 1 more person with her and she already knew who. "Tifa, I've already searched the lifestream, a chunk of it is missing along with him." Tifa's eyes lit up and was overjoyed.
"Really!? Then what are we waiting for!?" She was getting impatient and Alexandra clicked her tongue. "We're still missing the necessary firepower. And Bismarck as you know, is gone now." Alexandra sighed and Tifa looked down on the ground, gritting her teeth.
"Why can't we just you know? Get some help from Aerith and Ifalna to control the lifestream in order for us to start our search?" Tifa raised a valid point, but Alexandra shook her head.
"You might not feel it because you're not a Cetra. But if we use the lifestream now for that then it will lose a lot of Mako. The planet will essentially experience disasters, famine, etc." Alexandra explained and Tifa thought of ways to accomplish their plan for travel.
"Wait, Ramiel always made a lot of huge materias. He was planning on using them for the new battleships and carriers that he was about to make." Alexandra remembered and she immediately ran to the hangar of Bismarck where parts for the ship were there.
Tifa followed and they were in front of a vault that had intense amounts of Mako. The two went in and there were dozens of huge Materias that were brimming with energy. "Jackpot." Tifa gave a joyous smile and looked at Alexandra, checking her if she thought it was enough.
Alex concentrated and checked every single one. But it was still a bit lacking. "Good news and bad. They're not enough, good news is that they are about 50% of what we need." Alexandra frowned and Tifa was shocked.
The dozens of huge Materias there could power up the whole world for decades and it was still only half. "W-where will we get the required amount then? I doubt we can match Ramiel's ridiculous energy reserves."
The two went quiet and just stared down at the floor. Quite distraught that there seems to be no way for them to start their search for Ramiel.
After dozens of minutes of them just loitering around, thinking. They were slapped on the back by Scarlet. "Don't be too down, it was inevitable." She gave a pained smile, but the two were not amused by her simple acceptance of what happened.
"We're gonna find him, whatever the cost. Nothing's impossible, I know he's out there somewhere. Don't bother us if you're just gonna try to make us give up." Alexandra hissed and wanted her to go away if she wasn't going to help.
"Then I guess you don't need these?" Scarlet took out the white and black Materia. She overheard them talking about needing more energy sources. So she went to Ifalna to ask for the white Materia. And the Cetra gave it up because it was frankly not needed anymore along with the black one.
"The white and black Materia... Scarlet, you know I hate your guts right?" Alex started tearing up and smiled at her. "I love you too, hun. Now go get him back with Tifa." Scarlet gave a small smile, entrusting them with one of the most important missions they will go to.
"We will, thank you." Tifa initiated a group hug and Scarlet pried them off of her, wiping a rare tear that escaped from her eye. Knowing that they will be gone for probably years, decades even.
"Ahhh, I'm not good with this sappy stuff. Just go, I'll tell everyone that you guys went to a mission in another world in order to find Ramiel." Scarlet sighed and the other two snickered at her.
"We owe you one." Alex chuckled and started gathering the Materias. Tifa helped her in converging the energies of the Materias to rip space and time. Alex gave one last look at Scarlet and smiled. "See you later hag." The two disappeared, swallowed by a rip in space as a massive pulse of magic washed over the world that originated in their location.
"Cheeky bitch, didn't even let me get a retort in." Scarlet laughed and she wished they'll find him in no time.

Alex and Tifa righted their positions as they travelled through space and time, they felt like they were in a tube. The tube started branching out left and right. Upwards, backwards, diagonal, but the two can't control their direction.
And when they saw a ripple in front of them, they prepped themselves as they entered a new universe.
They appeared at a city, but something was wrong. People were screaming and guns were blazing, the two found themselves in between a tall green man that was obviously hostile and an equally large red robot.
"Okay everybody stand down, you two. Get out of the way! Listen to me, that little witch is messing with you. You're stronger than her, smarter than her, you're Bruce Banner." They heard a voice from the red robot.
The green man growled and got even more agitated. "Okay, don't mention puny Banner." Tony looked at the two civilians and was about to jump in and save them, but Hulk got to them first and was about to swat them away.
Tony frowned heavily and thought that they would die, but what he saw next made him freeze in his tracks. "Hmmm? Who the hell is this guy?" Tifa held his arm and glared. She then slammed the hulk on the concrete and kicked him on the side, flying like a bullet as he pierced through multiple buildings.
"I don't know, some kind of mutant or something? Hey you, whoever you are in the red robot armor. What the hell's happening here?" Alexandra looked at Tony who was still shocked out of his mind.
Before they could begin talking though, the hulk came barreling in from the skies as he roared with rage. Glaring daggers at Tifa with his eyes turning bloodshot. "This guy really wanna go, then let's go!"
The hulk ran at her and threw a punch, Tifa countered with her own and a shockwave shattered the windows of the surrounding buildings at their exchange. They then started a slugfest that was in of course, Tifa's favor.
Tony saw Tifa released a combo of blows on the hulk's face as he got staggered repeatedly, unable to counter or do anything. Tifa gave an uppercut and made him fly in the sky. She quickly followed with a jump and put him on her shoulder.
She accelerated to the ground with telekinesis and wind magic, breaking the sound barrier. She then slammed the hulk like a meteor as an explosion blasted cars and debris. The earth trembled and Tony started checking who they were, but he got no hits on their identity.
"Hmm, you still awake?" Tifa saw the hulk growl and shake his head, attempting to get rid of his dizziness. She stomped on his chest, cracking the concrete. Splitting the earth with her blow.
"This guy is tough, I'll bring him to a place without people Alex-nee. I'll take care of him there." Tifa put her hand on his face and slammed him again on the ground to make him more cooperative, she then threw him at a certain direction and flew there for a follow up.
"Want to go too?" Tony asked Alexandra and she shrugged, she teleported to the place and Tony flew with his suit, following them.
He then winced when he saw that Tifa was wailing on his face while Bruce was on the ground. She was grasping his hair with one hand and her other one kept on punching him. The hulk had great regeneration and was still trying to struggle.
"Holy shit, that woman is insane." Tony couldn't believe that Tifa who just looked to be a normal, but tall woman was beating the crap out of the hulk.
She then got tired of his persistence and put a little more oomph, Tifa held him on the neck and delivered a straight right onto his chin. Tony felt an earthquake and looked at Banner's head that was deep inside a crater.
"Who are you guys?" Tony started sweating and was sure that they will tear him apart if they set their sights on him.
"We're just looking for someone, when that green guy attacked. Now, you seem like an influential person with that fancy tin can on you. I need to find a certain someone." Alex took out her phone and showed him a picture of Ramiel.
"I want you to try and find any trace of this person." She clearly wasn't going to take no for an answer so he just nodded. "Okay mommy. What?"
"What?" Alex raised a brow and got weirded out. The trio then just stared at each other for a solid minute, an awkward silence dominating the area.
