Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Malicious Plans

Back at Nibelheim, after contemplating what he would do. Hojo slowly made up a plan, Gast has been primarily using Hojo as the test subject for project Minerva. And he was getting a lot of good results. So he put more and more Minerva cells in Hojo's system to see if there's a terrible side effect or something.

Ramiel and Gast decided to call the repurposed Jenova cells into Minerva cells. Inspired by the goddess of light.

And in turn, Hojo was more productive than ever. Helping Gast greatly with their theories and experiments at the long absence of Ramiel. The only helper of Gast besides Hojo.

"Hmmm, I've gathered enough data. It seems that it is time, Gast. Your little happy time with your family needs to go. They will be a fine specimen for my experiments." Hojo gave a crazy smile and contacted Scarlet. The head of weapons development.

"Professor Hojo? That's a surprise, you haven't called Shinra in years. I thought you died doing your research already." A woman that was in her mid twenties was a bit surprised. (pic)

"Hmph, enough pleasantries Scarlet. I need you to send Shinra troops here at Nibelheim at this appointed date and time." Hojo gave her a specific date in which Hojo thinks that he has already gotten all the things he needed from the place.

"Why though? That backwater village? There's nothing there, right?" Scarlet was confused and Hojo sighed.

"It's a long explanation, woman. But if you can't spare the troops, at least give me an evac at a place a little ways away from Nibelheim. I need to do things quietly. I'll send you what's happening for you to understand." Hojo cut off the call and Scarlet was noticeably confused once again.

"This smells like a conspiracy... Hmmm, what's happening over there, I wonder." Scarlet squinted her eyes. She didn't make it into her position by just being pretty. Shinra has no use for pretty people.

She received a file from Hojo and she quickly read it. The long message even had a note that she shouldn't inform anyone about it. As Hojo knew that if the twins managed to learn about his plans. They would storm Shinra without question and cause a lot of destruction.

Scarlet quickly scheduled a chopper for Hojo and a chinook to carry out something which was quite valuable in Hojo's words.

Back at Wutai, Ramiel and Alexandra quickly arrived at the scene. But it was already too late, seeing the Wutai troops clean up the last survivors. No one was left alive, even a prisoner of war.

They immediately frowned and Ramiel gave Alexandra Masamune. The beasts that Wutai used weren't a threat to them. But it was much easier to kill them with their real weapons.

"Moon blade dance!" Alex jumped in the air and slashed Masamune at the enemies. Her blade imbued with Mako, blue diagonal slashes got launched as the ground was torn asunder.

The beasts tried to block the attacks with their weapons. But the huge hunks of steel they were equipped with was cut to pieces by her attacks. Though that softened the blows and they were able to survive the onslaught of attacks barely.

Everyone else wasn't so lucky though, as the other soldiers were split into halves if they were lucky. Giving them a quick death, but the others that were hit got their limbs cut off or a huge chunk of their torsos got cut. Making them bleed to death as they saw Alexandra's glowing eyes behind her dark shades.

Ramiel quickly stored the bodies of the Shinra soldiers as they would definitely be erased by them in a second.

The ninjas were about to run away, having above average agility so they were able to dodge Alex's attacks that were mainly aimed at the beasts. But Ramiel inhaled deeply and the enemies froze from the massive pressure of Mako that built up inside of him.

He let out a roar and everything got flattened to the ground. A burst of Mako accompanied by a shockwave made the ground tremble as trees flew away with amazing force.

The beasts that showed amazing vitality and durability were still alive. Alexandra was about to finish them off, but Ramiel leaped in the air and the muscles on his arms flexed to the maximum. Holding onto his halberd, he aimed the axe on the ground as his eyes glowed brightly.

Ramiel slammed the ground with immense force. Cracking the ground for hundreds of meters. The whole island felt the tremors and heard an explosion that came from the south.

After the dust settled, nothing remained at the impact site, but a hole on the ground. "Damn it Godo. I trusted you, what's happening here?" Ramiel squinted his eyes at Wutai village and Alexandra could feel that he was angrier than normal.

"Nii-san, calm down. We can't destroy Wutai village." Alex quickly put her hand on his shoulder and he began breathing deeply to calm himself down.

"Hah, shit. This isn't supposed to happen." Ramiel frowned heavily and Alexandra nodded. "There seems to be something awry in Wutai..." Alex commented and she squinted her eyes at the direction of their village.

'Godo Kisaragi... You will pay for this transgression, I don't care if this isn't your fault. Your subordinates are probably the cause of this.' Alexandra was sure to make him pay and she was thinking of annexing Wutai completely. Making it their own territory unlike what was agreed upon earlier.

"It seems we need to have a little talk with somebody." Ramiel furrowed his brows and Alexandra had a great idea.

"I'll go to the village nii-san. You go and make a report to Shinra, I'm not good at that anyways. Besides, you have their corpses in your storage." Alex's eyes had a glint on them and hoped that he would accept.

"Hah, I don't know what I'll do there either if I see him. Good call, I'll leave that to you. I want to know what the hell is up with those things, they aren't normal." Ramiel's eyes went cold and he gave Lazard a call immediately.

Alex jumped up to the skies and began flying to Wutai. On a mission to know what exactly was Godo's deal.

"You better be prepared to give answers, Kisaragi. Or I will definitely take something from you that you'll never forget. Making my brother upset, it seems your country is courting death." Alex flew even faster as the trees under her got blown away by the shockwaves.
