(A few weeks later)

No significant signs of Shinra activities occurred over the past few weeks which brought out suspicion from the SOLDIER Assassin Y/N; not only he felt something wrong, Tifa and Cloud felt something as well, and with four Mako reactors shut down under their watch, they know that the megacorporation is hunting them down.

AVALANCHE were aware of Shinra's deal with the crime lord of Sector 6, Don Corneo. In which the deal was that Corneo exchanges information regarding the residents of the undercity slums for a piece of Shinra's future project, Neo Midgar.

Tifa sensed that feeling in her gut and while Y/N and Cloud were patrolling around Sector 5 with Zack and Aerith, she decided to infiltrate Wall Market and hopes to be picked as part of Corneo's nightly auditions. Tifa wore a beautiful blue dress and got picked up by a chocobo wagon bound for Wall Market in Sector 6.

(Meanwhile in Sector 6)

The party consisting of Cloud, Aerith, and Y/N were running through the slums on their way back to Sector 7 to regroup with the others while they try to avoid detection from the guards. Zack was needed somewhere far, giving the three time to escape and hide.

Aerith: this way, I know a safe shortcut to Sector 7!

Cloud and Y/N followed Aerith to a playground park and lead them to a slide with a crawl space.

Aerith: here is a safer way to get to Sector 7

Y/N: I'll keep an eye for reinforcements

Cloud: gotcha

As Cloud was about to open the passageway, the giant main gate to Sector 7 opened and a chocobo wagon rolled through, and then Cloud saw someone in the back, but he noticed it was his childhood friend.

Cloud: Tifa?!

Cloud pursued the wagon and quietly climbed on the vehicle, surprising Tifa.

Tifa: Cloud!

Cloud: what's going on?

Tifa: shh... I'll explain everything later... but now, I'm on my way to see Don Corneo. You and Y/N should head back and regroup with everyone else

Cloud: but-

Tifa: I'll be fine, you've seen how much ass I can kick

Cloud: I have

Cloud got off the wagon and was about to walk away, but he was stopped by Aerith.

Aerith: oh no you don't, you two are going after her

Cloud: she's a big girl; she can handle the likes of him, and worse

Aerith: uh-uh, you don't know Corneo. It doesn't matter how strong or smart you think you are. He'll find a way to turn it against you. And where's she going to meet him? A mansion filled with his goons. Come on, aren't you worried what might happen in there? You two have to help her!

Cloud: that's why Y/N is here, he can take down an army, hell even a mansion full of goons

Y/N caught up with the two.

Y/N: I see no reinforcements and why did you two pursued that chocobo wagon?

Cloud: Tifa is on that wagon, and she is wearing a blue dress

Y/N's eyes widened while he blushed a bit.

Y/N: T-Tifa in a dress? Why is she wearing a dress?

Cloud: she is on her way to Wall Market to see Don Corneo

Y/N: what?! Corneo?! Why?!

Cloud: she didn't tell me anything

Aerith: whatever it is, she's not safe

Y/N: where is that son of a bitch hiding?!

Aerith: in his mansion, but I won't just barge in and demand for answers if I were you, Corneo is always ready

Y/N: alright, you got a plan?

Aerith: I'll audition for Corneo's bride

Y/N: w-w-w-wait bride?

Aerith: Corneo holds auditions for beautiful women to be his bride for the night

Y/N: ugh, he disgusts me. No respect for the opposite gender

Cloud: disgusting is right, but our only option to rescue Tifa. Let's go!

The three freerun to Wall Market, Midgar's red district and entertainment center.

(Time skip)

The information the three got is that they need to be invited by one member of the Wall Market trio, and luckily for them, Madam M offered her invitation to Aerith after seeing the three showcasing their combat skills in the colosseum. And after giving Cloud a luxury hand massage, she works to give the flower girl a beautiful dress worthy for the don.

An hour has gone by and Cloud and Y/N met and saw Aerith in her red dress.

Cloud and Y/N froze and were at awe of Aerith's stunning beauty in her red dress.

Y/N: Zack is missing out

Aerith: aww, you boys are sweet. Now, let's go to the Honeybee Inn, Cloud

Y/N: Honeybee Inn?

Cloud: it seems I caught the eye of another member of the trio

Aerith: Andrea Rhodea

Y/N followed Cloud and Aerith to the inn. As the three went inside, Cloud proceeded through while Aerith and Y/N went to take their seats.

Y/N put on his hood to avoid any eye contact from the honeybee dancers.

Aerith: heart only to Tifa, huh?

Y/N: yup

Then a show started, showcasing a dance performance starring Andrea and Cloud.

Andrea Rhodea

Y/N: Cloud is gonna dance!

Aerith: yeah! Go Cloud!

The two watched as Cloud danced with Andrea. Halfway through the performance, Andrea gave the go signal to the inn staff. 

After a minute, the view cleared and revealed former SOLDIER 1st Class in a dress.

Aerith clapped while Y/N's mouth hung open in disbelief as he sees his best friend in a dress.

Cloud and Andrea finished their performance as the owner of the inn said:

Andrea: honey, I'm in love

(Few minutes later)

Cloud and Aerith got the pass from the guards outside and were allowed through the mansion, while Y/N climbed up the roof and found a way through by an air vent.

Inside the mansion, Cloud and Aerith passed out from some sleeping gas and were brought to a room. As Cloud woke up, he saw Tifa.

Tifa: are you alright?

Cloud: Tifa?!

Tifa: yes?

Cloud: are you alright?

Tifa: mmh-hmm

Cloud sighed in relief.

Cloud: oh good

Then Tifa realized.

Tifa: wait a minute... Cloud, is that you? Oh my god that make up! And that dress!

Cloud: nailed it. I know, thank you moving on

Aerith: hey Tifa, we're here to rescue you

Tifa: thanks, but where's Y/N?

Cloud: finding a way in to get us out, let's go

Tifa: not yet, I need answers from Corneo; I have a feeling something bad will happen to the upper plate

Cloud: if your gut is right, then we'll stick together

Tifa: let's hope Corneo picks me

Then the three were brought out to the main hall of the mansion as Don Corneo himself came out.

Don Corneo

Don Corneo: oooh, which one of these three lucky ladies will be my bride for the evening?

The crime lord checked out each of the three until his attention turned to Cloud in her dress.

Don Corneo: it's you, we have a winner! Boys, enjoy and have fun with the others

A Corneo lackey led Tifa and Aerith to a storage room, but that is a mistake they would regret as Tifa took down one lackey with a spin kick and Aerith tripped another by pulling a rug the lackey stepped on.

Aerith tripped another lackey and grabbed a steel chair and slammed it on the lackey's head.

Then Tifa knocked out the last lackey with a straight punch. The door opened and the two girls saw Y/N holding an unconscious guard and a bag containing their clothes and gear.

Y/N: looks like you started the party without me

Tifa: Y/N!

Tifa smiled and hugged her lover while Y/N hugged her back and kissed her head.

Y/N: damn, you look beautiful

Tifa: I may have wear it for you too

Tifa winked while Y/N blushed.

Y/N: come on, let's get Cloud

The girls put on their clothes and got their weapons and went to Corneo's bedroom while Y/N went to find another way to sneak up on the don.

(Bedroom)

Don Corneo: come on baby, get over here and give daddy some sugar!

As Corneo pounced, Cloud fired back with a kick, knocking the don back.

Don Corneo: hey, who allowed you to do that?! Someone get in here and teach this bitch some manners

Then the girls came in.

Tifa: sorry, your boys have to learn their manners too

Aerith: Cloud, put these on!

Cloud took off his dress and put on his regular clothes on, much to the shock of Corneo. Cloud, Tifa and Aerith confronted the don.

Don Corneo: so you're a man, huh? What are you three up to?

Tifa: we'll ask the questions. Like why'd you have men in Sector 7 asking about Avalanche?

Don Corneo: huh? I don't know what you're talking about

Tifa then proceeded to threaten the crime lord.

Tifa: don't play dumb with me. Let's try again. Why did you have men in Sector 7 asking about Avalanche? Spill the beans or...

Cloud: I'll cut 'em off

Don Corneo: alright, alright! I'll talk! I'll talk! Some guy with a gun for an arm- I was paid to find him!

The three knew that the crime lord was referring to Barret.

Tifa: paid by who?

Don Corneo: I can't tell you that! They'd hunt me down like a dog!

Tifa: well you better, because if you don't...

Aerith: I'll rip 'em off!

Don Corneo: it was the director of Public Security! Heidegger! It was Heidegger

Meanwhile, Y/N overheard the conversation behind a door and was surprised to hear Heidegger's name.

Tifa: Shinra?! And what were they planning?

Don Corneo: some things are better left unsaid, you know?!

Aerith: see, I'm not so sure they are. Better keep talking...

Tifa: or I'll smash 'em

Y/N smirked as he heard Tifa's threat behind the door.

Y/N: that's my girl

Then Corneo talked.

Don Corneo: heh. Alright, you got me. I could never say no to a sexy girl

That line from the crime lord lit a fuse in Y/N, the former SOLDIER snuck out of the door and grabbed Corneo from behind and pointed his hidden blade near the don's throat.

Y/N: better watch what you say or I'll cut off your tongue. Give them the answers or... I'll slice 'em off

The don gulped and sweated in fear.

Don Corneo: since Avalanche blew up four reactors, Shinra decided they ought to stamp them out, home base and all

Y/N: what do they mean by "stamp out?"

Don Corneo: by targeting the support pillar and blowing it up

Tifa: the pillar?!

Don Corneo: did I stutter? The plate will come crashing down! It will be Sector 6 all over again. I'm sure you've been there and seen the wreckage for yourself. So you know exactly Sector 7 will look like

Tifa: they wouldn't...

Y/N: you've been helpful don, now time for you to sleep

Y/N knocked out Corneo with his hidden blade gauntlet.

Aerith: come on guys! We gotta go!

Cloud: let's go warn Barret!

The party of four left the mansion and made their way back to Sector 7 to inform Barret and everyone else about Shinra's plan to destroy the pillar.
