Chapter 7: Shinra

Talia came by with the car. Ardyn had helped Anna into the car. He then threw the Hydra agent in the trunk after knocking him out.

Talia smiled from the driver seat and looked at Anna "You okay Anna? Not everyday you get chased by hydra."

Anna put on a sad smile "I have actually been running from them for years."

Talia frowned "Well maybe you should join our group we plan on exterminating Hydra anyways."

Anna tilted her head "What group?"

Ardyn just rubbed his face "Talia I had not told her everything about us yet. Plus I wanted to invite her."

Talia shrugged and looked at Anna while driving "We are making our own group. Now while one of the things we will do is eradicate Hydra we have a lot of other agendas as well."

Anna put on a happy face at just the idea of destroying Hydra "What else will your group do?"

Talia smirked "Let's just say we have a lot of people and organizations on our list to kill."

Anna had a slight frown "Killing?"

Talia nodded "Don't worry everyone we plan on killing is like that Hydra bastard in the trunk one way or another. So you up to join?"

Anna thought for a moment and looked back at Ardyn who was just on his phone. Anna got herself fired up and nodded "Yeah I want to make a difference."

Ardyn smiled "Anna have you ever killed anyone?"

Anna had a frown and shook her head "No I haven't."

Ardyn shrugged "Well if you want to join we are going to have to change that."

The rest of the car ride was mostly silent with some music playing and some small talk here and there. They then finally arrived at their mansion. When Anna saw how big the mansion was she had a shocked expression on her face. They all walked in and Ardyn had the hydra member over his shoulder as they were entering.

Ardyn then dropped the Hydra agent on the ground once they got in. Talia picked him up then Ardyn said "You know what to do. Tell me when your done and keep him alive. There should be enough medical equipment to do that."

Talia smirked "Don't worry I'm the best at this."

She then went to a door that led to some stairs going down to the basement the size of the mansion itself. Anna looked a little scared "What is she going to do?"

Ardyn smiled "What she always does. Torture for information."

Ardyn sighed "Anyways Anna come with me."

Ardyn started to move an Anna followed him up the stairs to the second floor of the mansion. Ardyn then opened a bed room door.

Anna looked around and liked it a lot she then blushed a bit an asked "Is this your room."

Ardyn shook his head "No it's yours if you actually want to join."

Anna seemed more fired up and serious "I already said that I was going to join."

Ardyn laughed "I know. Calm down. But there is one thing you need to do to join. But you can do that later. Want to watch some TV?"

Anna nodded "Yeah sure."

Ardyn an Anna then proceeded to watch some Rick and Morty with popcorn as they were waiting for Talia to be done. After a couple hours Talia finally came up and looked completely fine and happy.

Ardyn turned his head "All done?"

Talia nodded "Yeah it was great. I already archived all the information."

Ardyn nodded "Alright let's all head down."

They all started to head down to the basement. Once they got down Anna noticed there was a lot of different kinds of computers and Tech. They then turned down a certain corridor. They made their way to a big metal door. Ardyn opened it and they all entered. Anna started to smell the room and she noticed a trash can and immediately ran to it and started to throw up.

Ardyn covered his nose "Damn Talia he shit him self."

Talia giggled "It was quite funny."

Ardyn then patted Anna's back "You okay."

Anna got her head out of the trash can and nodded "Yeah I am fine."

Ardyn then looked over at the Hydra agent he was clearly broken yet he was wide awake an alert. Ardyn nodded "Okay Anna."

Ardyn then pulled out a dagger and handed it to Anna "Kill him."

Anna took a gulp and looked worried. Ardyn smiled "Don't worry it's just better for your first kill to be in a controlled environment like this."

Ardyn then continued "You can either stab him with that dagger. Or I'm sure if you used your ability long enough he would die and shrivel up."

Anna nodded with a look of determination in her eyes. She started to walk towards the Hydra agent with the dagger in hand. She started to tremble a bit as she got closer.

She then started to think of all the times she was tortured and experimented on. She was used like a lab rat. The Hydra agents many times even tried to sexually assault her. Luckily her powers were strong enough to where they could not touch her for long. She then started to think of all the screams she would hear from other rooms. The other unfortunate people who were not nearly as lucky as her.

A lot of rage started to build up inside her. She had a tighter and harder grip on the dagger. Once she was close she let out a yell and stabbed the hydra agent in the neck. She then repeatedly started to stab him multiple times in the neck. Eventually she stabbed him so much the Hydra agent ended up decapitated.

Anna then stumbled back and fell down on her butt. She dropped the dagger and then began to cry. Ardyn went up to her and held her. He then picked her up and planned to bring her up to her room.

Ardyn looked at Talia and said "Burn the room."

Talia nodded "Got it."

Ardyn carried Anna out of the room and started to bring her upstairs. Talia exited the room and slammed the metal door shut she then entered in a code next to the metal door. Talia then walked away and started to head upstairs.

In the metal torture room however about 20 flamethrowers came out of the roof and started to burn and destroy everything inside. They ran for thirty minutes making sure nothing was left but ashes.

Ardyn placed Anna in her bed and left her there tucked in as she fell asleep on the way up. Ardyn then walked back down stairs and started to watch Tv with Talia.

Ardyn looked at what was on an noticed it was some documentary. "What happened to Rick and Morty?"

Talia rolled her eyes "Watch something educational for once."

Ardyn sighed and just started to watch. The rest of the day was uneventful with everyone going to sleep.

Ardyn woke up the next morning and walked downstairs. When he came down he saw Talia an Anna making breakfast.

Ardyn smiled "Feeling better Anna."

Anna turned around and nodded with her eyes still red "Much better."

Ardyn sat down ready for food. The other two sat down after putting all the food out. Ardyn smiled "Well Anna welcome to Shinra."
