The sun begins to set, and the temperature drops a few degrees.
In a corner of the audience chamber, a fly buzzes around a guard's head, and he swats at it. A tree falls somewhere in the woods, and some random guy that no one really cares about hears it.

As he saw him walk over after his outburst, he said, "I am an experienced engineer, scientist, and healer. Young man, unless you have medical experience, I suggest you step back...." Nemo was relieved that Yuffie was able to stop the spread and left it stationary, so that he could take a cell sample. But then he saw it disapear completely.
Nemo stood up and said, "What have you done?! You weren't the only one who came up with the obvious solution f reversing the cells! That wont' stop the stigma! I could've come up with something that could atleast reverse it, for many more people, if you had just let me examine it further!" Nemo threw down his pad he had been writing on during his tantrum. He was smart, he was a born leader, but he was still younger, probably physically younger than everyone in this room, and his outburst showed it. He realized how bad he sounded, this man was free from atleast some of his suffering for now. It was a touchy subject, almost a quarter of the people on his island were infected by it, and someone was here as well. He could have used that to examine it and create something, materia, or just medicine, which could help reverse it to the point were it would die.
"Forgive me, I should not have made such an outburst, you have cured his pain, for now...." Nemo nodded, picking up his pad, and placing it into a pocket.
But he believed strongly that just a bunch of magic wasnt going to fully reverse anything, and that pure science is what enabled people to cure diseases, even this one. Yes, many more had the stigma, but Brieze was the only one he knew who was made from jenova cells. He was sure it would come back again, if his enemy within had the power to deteriorate his body, then it definently would. He began to wonder if Brieze was capable of harming innocent people in result of this...He couldn't let that happen, he'd have to destroy it, even if it meant destroying him in the process, he'd still have to.

Axel waited out the man's rage then said "If you wanted breeze to die then you should have stopped me....cuz if i dident do what i just did...he would have been dead in 15.64 seconds." axel stood up and walked looked him straight in the eye. "And if you think your danmable sience is going to cure the stigma or 95, then i sudgest you go back to thoes fancy schools and acctualy learn something." Axel waved his hand at breeze "Do you honestly think your science is going to save this man then you thought wrong. My freind left breeze becasue he went in seach of the only known thing that can cure the stigma......" Axel let that sentance linger that finished "White materia."

Brieze waited out everyone's yelling before speaking up.
"Nemo." He rolled what was left of his sleeve up, and winced as he revealed more stigma that was on his shoulder. He closed his eyes, and pinched off some of the skin, half of it normal and half infectied. He set it in a small glass he found on the med table, and handed the glass to the young Prince. "That's for your experiments. Painkillers will only break my focus, and 95 takes any opening he can get."
Yuffie looked over to Amara. "The mental 95 I cannot help, but I can help with the stigma. If only by prolonging the inevitalbe. That may give Brieze's friend time to find the White Materia." She then turned to Nemo. "I don't know, but if this is by Jenova cells, and Cloud is a 1st Class, meaning more cells than average SOLDIERs, he might have it, too."
Brieze winced as Yuffie poured some disenfectant into his cut he made. "That stuff always stings, even the stuff Marene used."
Yuffie looked puzzled. "Marene?"
"She was...," Brieze looked away.He didn't want to bring back old memories, but trying not to think of them made him remember them. His eyes began to burn again, and no tears came to relieve them. "my... wife. She was killed five years ago."
A sound escaped his throuat that would've been a sob.

She watched the scene unfold, the cold yet passionate scientist had flown off of the handle.
"I doubt magic will do him any better...let him do his work, your friend hasn't had much luck finding it yet, mabye he can help for the time being. He is having the same issues on his own island." She said to axel, while looking at the still infected shoulder. She had her doubts about that magic, materia stuff, to her, it didn't solve anything, it didn't save her father, it dint' stop the collapse...what good was it. "I'm sure his science has saved lives before."
"Amara nodded in response to what Yuffie had told her. She was as worried as she was. "I've heard of Cloud..." She said, he was the one seen on the tower right before it exploded, collapsing the plate.
Amara heard the words "my wife" and "killed" and felt sick. He wasn't just some raving lunatic like sephiroth, or a cold hearted killer. It might not have hurt him to kill her father, but it must've once he met her, someone who lost someone close to her, like he did. She bet that it was 95-XE that caused her death. Poor guy. She truely understood how he must've been feeling, and to run into the daughter of the man he killed, it must've hurt as bad as 95-XE did.
She put a hand on his shoulder, his GOOD shoulder, and smiled comfortingly. Thats all she could do as she watched Yuffie put some stuff on the cut he had made for Nemo's sample. There was something about Nemo that she didn't like...he seemed too cold, but too passionate at the same time. SHe thought he had a hand in his own atrocities.

"Fine" Axel said as he walked away from the group and looked back at them "If you realy think that cooky sientist can save him...then let him try. I have some things i have to find out." Axel waved his hand in front of him and a black portal appeared. Axel said more quietly as he walked into the portal "like what are thoes damn dusk's doing here?" and disapeared into the portal.

Brieze watched Axel walk off.
Raptor thought he was the best choice?
Brieze felt pressure on his right shoulder, and had to force himselft to not jump and attack insticntively. He looked up and saw Amara giving him a warm smile. He smiled back, and a sharp pain filled his shoulder, then dissapeared as soon as it started. He turned his head and saw Yuffie putting the cap back on a bottle of iodine. Then he put two and two together.
Yuffie was trying to get his attention, and Amara was trying to keep Brieze from Yuffie.
Uh-oh. I'm in trouble.
He looked over to Nemo, trying to get the girls to concentrate on something other than him. "How long will that sample take to process, Prince Nemo?"

Nemo did not wish for a confrontation, and just shook his head as he watched him turn to walk away. He wasn't one of those mad scientists, he was not hojo. He believed in science for a purpose, and only wanted to process this sample not for just Brieze, but hopefully to help others infected as well. It took all of the mental strength he had to stop him from running after him and starting an argument. He was young still, but many viewed him disturbingly cold and calculated for his young age.
"I only wish to help, that is why I am here, not just to tag along." He said, matter-of-factly, before picking up the glass containing the sample. "This isn't just for him, it is to help others as well. Scientist have done the imposible before, I intend to do it again." He took out a small magnifying glass and looked at the sample quickly.
Nemo's eyes opened wide as he heard a strange sound and saw this man, named Axel apparently, walk into a weird portal and dissapear. "Phenominal..." He said, he had no abilities like that, he was a prince, admiral and scientist, he had to admit that he found the magical abilities of his new allies to be quite interesting, stomething he'd wish to study when everything was over.
"The sample will not take long to process, my submarine has the best scientific equipment money can buy, or make..." Nemo said before adding, "I created alot of it myself. I should be able to come up with something to either halt the stigma in it's tracks, or even hopefully cause it to reverse." He smiled, quite confident in his abilities. But he also thought that mabye that White Materia might help, mabye he could use it's essence or something and make a widespread cure....
"If you need to rest while I do so, you are more than welcome to visit my submarine, it is a work of art, and you would find it quite luxurious, but that is your choice. It is always open, my friend." He said, before pulling out a kit with some pretty advanced looking scientific equipment.

Brieze considered his options.
1: He could go with the Prince to get his tests done, or
2: He could stay with Yuffie and see if he could find a way to stop 95.
Yuffie spoke up before Brieze could choose. "We have someone who might be able to help Brieze with 95, some old guy who's told to be a metnal healer here."
He chose number 2, because stopping 95 was more important than some test of his wind manipulation.
"I thank you for your offer, Prince Nemo, but, 95 will take any opening he finds, and if he finds one... I'd much rather stop him. I promise I'll visit your vessel once he is gone."
Yuffie tied a knot on the bandage she was working on. "I'll tell the guards you'll be staying here for tonight. Then they'll find the old guy."
She walked off at a brisk pace. And Brieze couldn't help but feel a little regret at her lack of presence.

"I completely understand, but i will still test this stigma cell sample. I will inform you promptly when it is completed, or I could use this equipment in this pack right here, and accompany you...it is your choice what you feel is best...but as I said; my submarine is always open." He said extending his hand. "But...i would still like for you to tell me everything you know about this 95-XE...that seemse like science, and area I am quite adept in...i'm sure i could help with that as well, if this...magical...mental...healer... is unable to do what you ask him to."
Nemo did not believe in magic at all, materia mabye, magic...no. He wasn't to optimistic that this magic would cure what only science could, if it were a mental issue, or a disease.

Axel watched them in another deminsion to where he could see them but they could not see him. Well well welll so the prince doesent belive in magic.... and they thought they got rid of me......HA...well let's do some 'meddling'. Axel walked over to the highly expesive tray of medical things and axel pulled out a sryenge and drew on the wall with the words 'Belive it' and under it he signed 'Axel'.
Then axle saw breeze watch yuffie walk off. "Well there's nothing wrong with a little 'mind control'." Axel chuckled and entered breeze without him noticing axel. When he was sure he had control of breeze's vocal chords he made breeze said "Wow yuffie is one hot babe is'ent she?" Axel exited breeze and watched with a chuckle of what would happen next.

Amara watched the scene unfold infront of her, and did not like where things were going one bit. She did not know what to do...when she was with President Rufus, she always had an answer, wether it was by force, or just how to take a oil stain out of a white suit. It was her street smarts that always got her by. Now, she was intelligent, she went to school. She was athletic, a dancer and a model...not to mention a very strong athlete and fighter. But here, she felt useless.
"We have someone who might be able to help Brieze with 95, some old guy who's told to be a metnal healer here."
"Well what happens if he can't and were back at stage one?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. She didn't like the idea of going to a man who they think MIGHT be able to help him.
She watched a syringe rise in the air and float towards the wall and begin to scribble something. "That's not right...." She said, apparently no one else was noticing this; Brieze was too obsessed with this Yuffie girl, Axel was gone, Riaan aparantly was still off to himself somewhere, and Nemo was too obsessed with his science project. "Um....yea...this place haunted or something?"

Brieze felt his mouth move, but couldn't hear if he was saying something. He looked at the signature under the two words.
"It's not haunted, just Axel up to his pranks."
Brieze heard a quick clicking of boots against tile, and turned his head to see Yuffie running up to him, and an old man with a white beard, a few protesting grey hairs still trying to show some color. He was thin and gangly, and his face was wrinkled and worn. He put on what Brieze thought was a smile, but under all that hair, his tounge could be making circles at him and he wouldn't know it.
"Greetings, young ones. My name is Jysk'al, which one of you is callled Brieze?"
Brieze raised his hand, but Jysk'al took no notice. He realized this man was blind. He cleared his throat, and caclled out. "I am."
Jysk'al walked over to his voice, and Yuffie put a chair for him to sit on in front of Brieze. "Princess Yuffie told me of your situation, and you have my scincerest apologies for your loss. Now, to deal with the symptoms, I must deal with the cause. Would you be so kind as to alk to 95-XE for me? Ask him why he hates you."
Because you've put me in this hell, you dam--
Brieze cut off 95 to keep his focus. "He hates me because I put him in my mind, and he calls it 'Hell'."
Jysk'al pondered this. "Let me talk to this 95, then he might be a little more... cooperative."
Brieze was about to outright refuse, but Yuffie cuahgt his gaze with those brown pools of diamonds of hers, and she nodded compassionately. Brieze nodded, and lowered his head.
Just my vocal chords. Anything else, and you're right back in.
Deal. Now shut up.
Brieze lifted his head, and let 95 control his mouh and vocal chords.
"Hey there, Gramps." The words came out low and scratchy, and they way they were said made his throat hurt.
"95-XE, why do you torment Brieze?"
A laugh escaped his mouth, but it was deep and threatening. "Why? Why, you ask? Because Brieze, as he calls himself, puts my conciousness into the back of my mind like dust swept under a rug. And the rug isn't comfy, either."
"You hurt him because he hurt you?"
"Oh, hell, no. I hurt poor Brieze because it's what I'm programmed to do. And I rather enjoy it. Brieze is weak, and has no right to rule my body." Brieze felt his head be directed to Amara.
95! I told you just the vocal chords!
My voice just doesn't match your face, so I'm taking a little control. Calm down, baby.
His face twisted into a snide grin. "Ah, you did survive the slums. Tell me, what was it like when you heard of my latest kill?"
"95! Stop this at once! I see why Brieze stopped you. He was protecting others by throwing himself in your wrath. Begone!"
Jysk'al lifted his hand and closed his eyes.
Brieze felt his face cringe. "If I go, I'm taking Brieze with me!"
Brieze shoved 95 aside. "Do it!"
White filled his vision, and then darkness. When the darkness retreated, he found himself on the floor, Yuffie was kneeling beside him, screaming something in his ear.
He sat up, and saw Jysk'al walking away.
"Did he do it?" he yellled, trying to hear his own voice, which was dangerously quiet.
Yuffie nodded. "I think he did. But 95 is a part of you as much you are a part of him. He'll be back, but not for a while."

Nemo watched the words be carved out on the wall with intrigue...which quickly turned to horror. That was expensive equipement! He couldn't use that syringe now! He had first thought that mabye the palace had an issue with poltergeist...but then he saw the name "Axel" spelled out underneath the message.
"AXEL!" He yelled, raising a fist rather comically. He looked like he would throw a tantrum. But before he could say anything else, Yuffie had returned with an old man. Nemo scoffed to himself, where they could not hear. Not only was this man supposedly a magic mental healer, but he was old?! That made him feel real good, they'd rather run to a man who should be resting and retired, when he had the most advanced science equipement available at his disposal. Oh well, he'd get a chance to prove himself eventually.
"Oh, hell, no. I hurt poor Brieze because it's what I'm programmed to do. And I rather enjoy it. Brieze is weak, and has no right to rule my body." Nemo tensed, and felt his hand reach back instinctively to his javelin, but instead move down his side and grip the end of his sabre. He never saw this 95-XE act out before, and what he had said to Amara was downright disturbing to him.
"No! There has to be a better...." He felt himself say when he heard 95-XE's threat and Brieze's command to do it anyway. When he saw Brieze fall, he ran over to where he was collapsed on the floor. Nemo shaked him, and after getting no response, promptly pulled out a syringe filled with a liquid and quickly injected it. After watching Yuffie yell to wake him up, Brieze had risen, and Nemo felt pretty good, he was able to help somehow.
"I think he did. But 95 is a part of you as much you are a part of him. He'll be back, but not for a while."
"Well what did we acomplish then? He will have to comeback again if this...moster...rears his head again, what if it comes sooner than we thought, what if he is unstoppable?" Nemo asked, still not convinced that the man was able to do what they had hoped. All the man did was talk and he was out? And Nemo couldn't have done that already?!
"Well atleast now you can relax for a bit...we can focus on the stigma and that white materia, those strange creatures you informed me of, or you could just enjoy the commodities of Wutai and my submarine, which is like an underwater palace with guns...." He said, trying lighten the mood and make up for increasingly pessimistic statements.

Axel wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought wewh that was a close one. Axel walked over to the box and pulled out another sryenge and scraped on thw wall 'sorry about the equipment nemo'. Axel waved his hand and a box indentical to the one nemo had first appeared on the table and it was filled with the same equipment and on the top was signed 'From axel'

"AXEL!" She heard Nemo yell, raising his fist in fustration. He looked like he was insane or throwing a temper tantrum. But once she figured out it was him all along, she couldn't help but laugh at Nemo.
"Sure there's no magic?" She laughed. But her laughter turned to anticipation when the man that Yuffie told them about walked into the large room.
Amara watched the old man do his work, and she cringed at Brieze's painful reaction . Then he turned to her, and the voice that came out did not sound like Brieze. "What?!" She asked, shaking. Why would he say that?! It was that monster! She was prepared to get it out, the easy way or the hard way. Latest Kill?! What was wrong with this thing? Did Shinra do this to him? Was the man she spent years protecting the one truely responsible for the loss of her father?
When Brieze fell, Amara ran to his side, using her speed to shorten the distance. She hoped that the old man had been able to help him.
"Brieze? Brieze!" She said, shaking him. She noticed Yuffie doing the same thing, and Nemo run over with a syringe filled with some strange liquid and proceed to inject him. That made her uneasy.
"What did you inject him with? Did you run that by me?!" She began to freak out, until he woke up. She proceeded to help him to his feet. She watched the old man walk away, and saw Nemo's apprehensive reaction to the scene that had just occured. She felt the same way...sort of...
Any help was welcome, to her. But she wasn't too satisfied with a maybe. After seeing what 95-XE could do, she knew that they'd have to find a perminant solution soon. But atleast for now Brieze would not have to worry for awhile, now they could relax a little and focus on the stigma or something. Anything to get out of the palace and get some fresh air. She really didn't like Wutai that much. She preferred modern luxury to ancient palaces. Not to mention the "five star Wutai hospitality".
She felt relieved when she heard his normal voice again, and would have hugged him if it were appropriate.
She was in no way over the fact that he held the sword that practically ruined her childlife...but now that she knew who's mind was behind it, she couldn't feel hatred towards Brieze, only sorrow. He was a victim too, in his own way.

Nemo knew what was coming, and he ran to his equipment, and soon another syringe was lifted out of the pack. Nemo stared at the second group of words being written with his hands over his head. "No....no...no!"
"Axel! Stop this madness....oh this never happened in school..." He said gruffly before watching another pack put in it's place. "Wha...?" Nemo began to ask when top of the box read "From Axel". Nemo raised an eyebrow, and poked at it a little bit before picking it up. "I don't know how you did that...but don't think that I can't figure it out!" Nemo paced around, trying to get a handle on where he might be, but he realized that he couldn't just reach and grab him, he wasn't invisible, but he was doing something...he was gonna figure it out, or get him back if it killed him. Nemo was young after all, he loved prank wars.

Psychos. All of them.
"Well," broke in Riaan from his corner as he came out of his self-induced stupor. "I do believe that I'm not particularly needed here, at the moment." He shifted his jacket so that it covered his handgun again, and shouldered his shotgun. "If anybody needs me, I'll be outside." He shot a glance to Brieze. "Have fun healing."
His long strides took him out of the hall without a look behind him to see if he was actually needed or not. There's just something about being cooped up in a room with a bunch of crazies that gets to you after a while.
The sun had set completely by the time Riaan had made it out of the palace, which was a bit of a surprise. What time had it been when they'd arrived? No matter, really. His hand plunged into his pocket out of habit, and he swore softly to himself as he leaned against the outside wall.
"Damn. Still no cigarettes."

Axel burst out laughing from nemo's rampage....as if he could ever find out axel thought to himself. Axel saw Riaan walk out of the palace and he followed him when Riaan stoped and cursed to himslef Axel shifted into the third deminsion and said to him "If ya really want smoke's and some ammo....." Axel pointed to a shop across the street "They sell guns, ammo, drink's, and cigaretts.....ya know the basic things in life." Axel shifted back and thought to himself good now Riaan is out of the way all i need is to get nemo and that turk away from breeze and we'll see how powerfull 95 really is.

What a weird guy.... seriously....
Riaan stood, quietly watching the empty air that Axel had practically disappeared into, then shook his head and leaned back against the building. All in all, he really didn't want a cigarette, at the moment. He wanted his mind clear of smoke. Too much had been going on to be distracted by anything, even simple stuff. Like smoke.
He set down his shotgun next to him on the ground, and drew his handgun out of the holster inside of his jacket. It lay in his hand, a dead piece of iron and steel, quiet and cold. "Strange, how such a silent thing can cause so much pain." His musings faded into the black night, and he let a sigh follow them before pocketing the gun again. He didn't really need extra ammo, either. If he needed more shots than what he had, Riaan figured they would be in more trouble than he alone could handle.
No, he'd stand outside in the night, listening to the silent stars. A clear mind was what he needed, and no distractions would get in his way.
