Bat-like wings larger than room grow through the skin in a spray of blood. The claws push through nails and form a new set of fingers, deadlier than steel. The silhouette of a creature older than earth appears, flickers, and is slowly turned material as the red eyes start glowing like orange fire.

Rufus jumps back, the scene enough to shatter even his cool. “Alright, no more talk of a threesome with Reno!”

Fume leaves the nostrils as the beast pushes the last drops of rage out, wings folding behind its back.

Relieved, Rufus smiles. “Can I at least watch?”

Word count: 100
Series: Crisis Core
Author's Notes: First time, use lube


You no longer have a city or a nation, Angeal teaches the new SOLDIERs. Your city, your nation, is Shinra. Your loyalty is to Shinra.

Have no mercy for Shinra's enemies, he instructs, for in standing against Shinra, they have set themselves against the future. In Shinra lies all true hope for humanity's future -- even if some are too blind to accept that. Whatever their reasons for opposing Shinra, when SOLDIER has been called in, the only solution left is war. Your sword is a surgeon's scalpel, cutting in order to save.

The only true mercy is no mercy.

Tseng stands there, a bloody tissue on his ear and a trembling kid at the business end of his gun.

“C’mon, he’s just a kid.”

“Six months’ work down the drain and the bastard bit my ear off!” Tseng yells, wills himself to pull the trigger.

Rude smirks. “Well, he’s fast. Could use him.”

“The slum rat?” Tseng feels the blood leak down his cheek.

“Show some mercy, Tseng,” Rude tries, takes his shades off and looks at the kid. “What’s your name?”

Frightened pair of blue-green eyes looks up and Tseng curses, unable to off a child.

“R…Reno, sir.”

“We must destroy it!”

 

A hundred voices sharpened by loss and betrayal echo the first.

 

The elder stands firm. “It is not our way. Even this creature deserves compassion.”

 

“Father, please,” whispers the old man’s youngest daughter, her husband lost to the calamity.

 

“Child, think with your heart,” the elder replies, cupping her face in his lined, worn hands. “Humans destroy what they don’t understand. Cetra do not do this. We will not kill this being, and that is my final word. Trust, child. In this mercy we affirm all of life, and so protect the future of our people.”

Author's Notes: This song by the Kenny Wayne Shephard Band called "Oh Well" always makes me think of Reno. Enjoy the download and the drabble.

Mercy wasn’t in his vocabulary. Never had been, not when he was born in the slums, and it sure hadn’t been added when he joined the Turks. Ruthless and relentless had been the words that got him ahead in the world. Charm had its uses when he was horny, but its use by others was wasted on him.

He neither gave nor expected mercy: not from his enemies, or his employer, or even his friends. Mercy was a bitch who turned around and bit you in the ass when you could least protect yourself.

Reno smirked, then pulled the trigger.

"Help!" Zack squirmed, head thrown back in a helpless laugh. "This isn't fair!"

The only man capable of holding him captive was unmoved. "You brought this on yourself, Lieutenant," he pointed out, his hands locked around Zack's arms.

"Se - Seph - I'm gonna pee myself!" Zack thrashed, but Sephiroth's grip on his arms and the unmovable weight on his hips kept him caught. Seeing he'd get no mercy from his commander, Zack turned pleading eyes on the young man sitting astride him. "Cloud..."

"Keep tickling, Strife," Sephiroth countermanded.

Cloud grinned, fingers dancing down Zack's skin like feathers. "Yes sir."

Second-rate. Always, second-rate.

 

No matter how hard he pushes himself, no matter how hot the fire within, he knows that he will always fall under the other’s silver shadow.

 

It is his doom, as it were. Fated, just as the other swordbearer is fated: together they will restore the balance, and in so doing destroy all that they love.

 

Knowing does not ease the hate gnawing at him, stripping away his capacity for compassion until he becomes the weapon, wielded by destiny. Genesis snarls, lifting his blade to strike.

 

Steel cries out for blood as the runes begin to glow.

Author's Note: Seeing as their individual personas seem to persist within the Lifestream, I have always wondered: "What if they 'bump into' each other?"


"You still miss it."

"Yes."

"Pathetic. Here you sit in your eternal existence and lament...what? A few years' worth of humanity? And what would you have done with those years? Been hailed as a heroine of some kind? I gave you immortality. Not only will you exist here forever, but you will remain in the hearts of your comrades until their last breath. Tragedy will always outlive triumph. And what of the end? The grief of knowing that you will not be around for the next great crisis?

As I see it, cutting you down was an act of mercy."

There's no mercy to be had in the light. Light heralds pain. Light blinds him, bares his flesh naked to scornful eyes and razor-sharp blades. In the light, he is an animal, a monster, a thing. Something to be used, passed from hand to hand, each one carrying to him a new pain, a new terror, a new shame. In the light there's nowhere he can hide- not from them, not from himself.

In the darkness he is alone, forgotten. No hands nor blades to tear at his flesh. No eyes to watch him break down. In darkness he finds mercy.

"What color's this?" Marlene held something out to Rude.

He peered at it before handing it back "I can't tell."

"Why?"

An eyebrow raised. "These." He tapped the temple of his shades.

"Why?"

"They keep the sun out of my eyes."

Marlene seemed to ponder this for a second, then asked again. "Why?"

"It hurts."

She nodded in agreement with this answer before a quizzical look crossed her face. "Why?"

Rude tugged uncomfortably at his collar before answering. "It's made of fire."

"Why?"

Rude decided that, with her tenacity, Marlene would make a fine, merciless Turk when she grew up.

Reno stuck his head around the corner. There was no sign of his attacker. Gun up, just about to slip down the empty hallway, he was hit hard from behind. The weight knocked him over, the plastic gun skittered across the floor.

“UGH! You got me!” Reno said, rolling onto his back, hands up in defeat.

The blur of soft, red hair giggled and bounced on Reno’s belly without mercy. “Oh dad! You’re so funny!”

From the doorway of the kitchen, a throat cleared and two sets of aquamarine eyes looked up.

“If you two are finished, dinner is ready.”

It shouldn't have happened, but accidents are never supposed to. When Cid hears the scream, he's the first one there. One of the Shera's massive engine modules rests like a ruin at an odd angle on the hangar floor. One of her mechanics lies beneath it, pale and shivering. It's already too late. Cid can see that the only thing keeping the young man alive at this point is the pressure of the machinery, holding together what's left of him.

"Let me go, Captain," he whispers, understanding.

With an anguished cry and the leverage provided by his spear, Cid does.

She would like to believe that her life hangs in the balance, but she knows she's lying to herself. She has seconds to live. Her one comforting thought is that she will go down in the line of duty. What is one life compared to a dream fulfilled, anyway? She vaguely wonders if anyone will consider her a martyr. Will she be in the history books? Will anyone even remember her name five years from now?

Will he ever know how much I love him?

Time's up. She closes her eyes and waits. No mercy.

But Cid aborts the launch.

A/N: This is a nod to one of my favorite stories. Cookies if you recognize it.

 

 

 

 

They all believe it is Jenova who rules him, even the silver warrior himself.

 

Because they think they are fighting an alien thing, they continue to struggle long past the loss of hope.

 

This is good: I thrive in war.

 

Jenova, a mortal creature, would comprehend ‘mercy,’ if not for its enemies then for itself. It would not whisper a song of blood into a trusting ear, or keen its satisfaction as death turned the sky to black.

 

I, however, know no mercy and need none, and my song will continue until there are no more souls here to eat.

Author’s Note : This is what happens when Reno oversleeps. Needless to say, Reno oversleeps a lot…I wonder, why?

Reno awoke, tied naked to the bed posts, and noticed Rude standing beside him.

“Don’t expect me to be merciful,” Rude said.

“Don’t expect me to keep my mouth shut about this.”

“Don’t expect anyone to believe you.” Rude wielded a feather, trailing it down Reno’s abdomen, slowly tickling below the waistline.

When Reno writhed and begged, Rude quickened the feather’s motions with calculated flicks of his wrist.

Rude headed to the door when he finished and Reno begged him not to leave.

Rude smirked, locked the door, and loosened his tie.

Corrective behavior was needed – every morning if necessary.

“Fuck I’m bored with knees,” Reno grouses. “It’s always the fucking knees.”

Elena gets all petulant, which Reno decides is just precious as hell. It’s wasted on the sonsabitch tied to the chair between them—she hasn’t even touched him with the crowbar and he’s grey-faced already.

“I like the knees.”

“I know you like ‘em, Laney.”

“I’m good at knees.”

“You’re fucking great with knees.”

“I’m doing the knees. Hell with-”

Reno’s phone rings. Tseng tells him that their chump's partner talked already. Elena rolls her eyes, shoots him in the head, and Reno swears the guy looks relieved.
