Beneath the "Avalanche" (First Update) / The Judicator Arrives (Second Update)
Was the cargo salvaged from the South Pacific being transported to Seven Star Village? The tsunami a few days ago nearly flooded Tokyo, and there were numerous reports of "monsters."
Instead of focusing on developing Mako Energy, what other insane experiments are they going to conduct? Isn't creating a bunch of Shinra Special Forces enough?
Whether you want to make money or just want to survive and hold onto your positions, I'm not really interested in profits or power.
Unfortunately, the path you are taking will make it impossible for many more people to survive, which goes against my principles of life.
Lufus tapped his head helplessly, his expression gradually turning cold and stern. He then turned on his computer and sent an anonymous email to the bar called "Seventh Heaven".
Last time, Miss Claire and those college students from the NGO used naive methods and wasted an opportunity.
How can we dismantle the shadow cast by Schrodinger Company without some bloodshed and sacrifice?
Then let's have a massive "avalanche" of sorts. I look forward to your performance, everyone.
The thoughtful young master stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bustling commercial district emerging from the Tokyo land reclamation project, and slightly raised his glass.
Hmm, Midgar Sector 7, "Seventh Heaven" seems to be around there. You can take a look if you have time, as a way of seeing them off.
Meanwhile, the "Seventh Heaven" bar was rather deserted today, as it was located in a new commercial street and was also affected by the tsunami a few days ago.
A gentle young woman with almond-shaped eyes, cherry lips, and a pointed chin, her smooth black hair cascading over her shoulders, was carefully wiping glasses in a white-on-top, black-on-bottom shop assistant uniform.
Immediately, she took out her vibrating phone from her pocket, glanced at her email, her breathing became slightly labored, and seeing that no one was around, she quickly closed the door and hung up the "Closed for Business" sign.
Then, the girl quietly went into the basement and handed her phone to her four companions sitting around the table.
"Is this news true? Don't let those Shinra guys fool you, Tifa!"
The burly man, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, spoke in a rough voice, and his right arm was fitted with a strange gun barrel.
Tifa Lockhart, the owner of Seventh Heaven, nodded slightly and spoke gently, dispelling the anger that had been building up.
"This is an informant for Ms. Claire's grassroots anti-biochemical environmental organization. The information about Crystallization Sickness that was exposed last time was based on information provided by him, so it should be credible."
At this moment, the little girl with a white headband, a shuriken on her back, and dressed in a short shirt and hot pants, jumped forward with a grin and patted the burly man on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Uncle Barrett, I'm in charge this time. If we run into the Imperial Army, I'll make them targets and give them a good thrashing!"
The burly Barret Wallace put down his glass, grabbed the little girl's wrist, and rolled his eyes at her helplessly.
"Yuffie, you can talk, but first, take your claws off my purse..."
Yuffie, a girl from a mysterious village, grinned and innocently withdrew her claw.
"The mission location is Seven Star Village? The defenses there are very tight; the elite troops of the Imperial Army are all there. Without an inside agent, it's virtually impossible to break in."
Vincent, a man in a red cloak leaning against a pillar in the corner, spoke in a low voice, then fell silent and lost in his memories.
"I can infiltrate the Imperial Army as an inside agent! I know their leader, Eclair Fallon!"
At this moment, the blond youth in the brown-yellow short-sleeved shirt and black woolen hat, clutching the necklace in his arms, suddenly stood up with a resolute expression.
The young man in front of me, who looks somewhat like a delinquent, is named Sno. He was once one of the initiators of the anti -Shinra march by college students.
However, after his girlfriend Sera Falon died of crystallization from an illness, he wholeheartedly joined the anti -Shinra organization "Avalanche" and became a new member.
Driven by his hatred for Schrodinger Company, Sno was quite proactive.
The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement; this was undoubtedly the most feasible plan.
Thus, the Avalanche Five—bar owner Tifa Lockhart, organization leader Barret Wallace, young girl Yuffie, caped man Vincent, and inside man Snow —Sno shaked hands and vowed to launch their revenge against the Schrodinger Company.
Almost all of the five of them lost many important things because of Schrodinger Company's expansion.
Since this hatred cannot be addressed through legal means, the only recourse is to repay it with an eye for an eye and blood for blood.
But can they really force their way into Seven Star Village with just these people?
Vincent, the trench coat-wearing man and former Shinra employee, recalled a fleeting glimpse of the Seven Star Village and was filled with deep worry.
He placed his hand on his chest and prayed silently, hoping everything would go well.

I was called away to help out today, so I can only update twice. I'll continue with four updates tomorrow as a minimum. Please forgive me. I still owe 11 updates, but I should be able to make up for it soon.
PS2: The storyline is a blend of elements, connecting the origins of Schrodinger Company with the Triumvirate and Umbrella Corporation. It's generally quite smooth.
In addition, those who know about the newly revealed hidden information can provide some background information.
1. Seven Star Village (from <Black Bullet>)
2. Avalanche Organization (Final Fantasy VII)
3. Sno (Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning Sis's brother-in-law)

Chapter 452, Section 478: Under the "Avalanche" (First Update)
Seven Star Village, a forward outpost.
Leaning against the watchtower, Eclair Fallon held a silk cloth and wiped her Gunblade, which was the only thing she could rely on.
When her fingertips inadvertently touched the pendant containing a photo of the sisters, Lightning Sis's unchanging, resolute expression softened with a hint of regret.
If only they had noticed her sister Sera's unusual behavior sooner, she wouldn't have taken to the streets to fight against the Schrodinger Company and indirectly been infected by the patients.
Come to think of it, it's because she, as the older sister, is too busy with work and not competent enough.
At that moment, the vibration of her phone interrupted Lei Ting's reverie. After opening her email, a picture of a crystal pendant caught her eye, along with an address and a few words on the back.
"Big sister, Sera, I left a letter here, hoping I can give it to you in person."
She had seen the necklace on Sera before; it seemed to be a gift from that bastard Sno.
But not only did this guy fail to protect Sera, he was also impulsive and reckless. In short, Sno, the ex-boyfriend of his sister, made Thunder, who had some sister complex tendencies, quite unhappy.
Therefore, after her sister Sera's entire body crystallized and she was preliminarily judged to be dead, she banished Sno from her sight.
Afterwards, a senior researcher within Schrodinger Company diagnosed that Sera still seemed to have a faint conscious response.
In exchange for siding with Shinra, Thunder promised to provide his sister with top-notch care, hoping that one day the sisters could be reunited.
She hesitated about whether to tell Sno about this, but her anger and resentment led the Big Sister to ultimately decide to keep it a secret.
Her service to Shinra naturally aroused Sno's resentment, and the two have not spoken for a long time.
A letter from his sister? Thunder hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go anyway. And since the higher-ups were investigating, he naturally had to solve the problem of switching defenders first.
A moment later, a handsome man with blond, tousled hair, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and carrying a broadsword on his back, nervously walked up to the watchtower and stood somewhat uncomfortably in front of Thunder.
"Captain, you wanted to see me? Did I do something wrong again?"
"No, I need a favor, Cloud, could you cover my shift for me for a day..."
Lei Ting stood up, patted the handsome man with tousled hair on the shoulder, and responded in a calm tone.
"Um..."
The shy young man named Cloud paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did I teach you? When you talk to someone, hold your head high, stand tall, and look them directly in the eye!"
Seeing the boy's fearful reaction, Gunblade Ting frowned and snorted coldly, then struck him on the back with his musket.
Cloud smiled awkwardly, then habitually lowered his head, though he felt a faint sense of gratitude. He knew that this captain was the type who appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside, and that his intentions were purely good.
Since it was impossible to fundamentally change a person's character, Lei Ting, who had other matters to attend to, had no choice but to give up.
Because of his sister's complicated relationship with Schrodinger Company, Thunder didn't want to get too involved with other people, so he basically didn't have any friends.
The only one I could talk to was this shy boy.
Although this guy seems somewhat melancholic and insecure, in the Imperial Army, apart from the unpredictable monsters Thunder and Sephiroth, who are ranked first and second respectively, there are only a handful of people who can defeat Cloud.
Of course, Thunder and Sephiroth are already at an overwhelming level in terms of strength; either one of them could take on the remaining top 20 members one-on-one.
But it's just a lookout post; having Cloud guard this place is enough. In this desolate wilderness, who would dare to attack the Schrodinger Company?
In the evening, after a quick tidy-up, Thunder borrowed Cloud's Fenrir motorcycle, which he had painstakingly saved up for and modified himself, and headed towards the agreed-upon location.
At that moment, a leaf fell from the distant forest. Yuffie, a member of the Avalanche Organization who blended into the tree trunk, saw this and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Currently, one of the Imperial Army's two strongest combatants has been sent to Siberia on a mission, while the other has been reassigned by Sno.
Next, we'll have to rely on them.
With a gentle wave of the girl in the headband, several people, including Tifa, who were dressed in Optical Camouflage, silently slipped in behind her.
However, no one noticed that beneath the fiery red clouds, seven tall women with long, jet-black hair tied back, dressed in dark feathered robes, holding enormous Grim Reaper scythes and with soul-binding chains around their waists, were hovering in the air, coldly watching everything.
The seven people were identical in height, appearance, and even clothing; clearly, only clones could be so similar.
"Mina, my dear, let's begin our revenge! Towards Shinra! Towards the Deep Sea!"
"I said I would make everyone who has hurt you pay the price!"
A chilling voice came through the earpiece, and seven tall, exquisitely beautiful women, each as delicate as a doll, infiltrated towards their respective targets.
The young master of Shinra Lufus, naturally wouldn't place all his hopes on a civilian organization called "Avalanche."
They were merely bait to draw direct fire, and Shinra's contingency plan was to leak information about Seven Star Village to [Wild Serpent], a medium-sized organization with ties to Lufus.
Doctor Final, who lost his wife due to similar insane experiments, would definitely pounce on his enemy if given the chance.
Therefore, both overt and covert routes were laid out. As long as one route succeeded and the laboratory was destroyed, his goal of terminating those plans would be achieved.
He's done all he could—transferring Sephiroth and spreading rumors about the "assets" of Seven Star Village —now he's relying on these people.
Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm still here, Schrodinger Company's shady businesses will eventually collapse.
In his Tokyo Bay sea-view villa, Shinra's young master, Lufus, raised his glass slightly towards the Seventh Heaven Bar and Seven Star Village.
What a good-for-nothing son! Lufus downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.
Meanwhile, in the secret base of Seven Star Village, which had hollowed out the entire mountainside, the Judicator Mina and their companions, stepping over a carpet of blood and corpses, arrived at the gate to the end.
"Fire!"
The moment the security door was smashed open, a row of the Imperial Army soldiers, armed with riot shields and wearing Tactical Exoskeleton, instinctively unleashed a torrent of bullets.
However, the dark red Energy Shield surrounding Mina deflected the bullets with a clang, leaving her completely unharmed.
"Splash! Splash! Splash!"
The jet-black soul-binding chains woven from Honkai energy surged forward and wrapped around seven or eight Shinra from a distance, before a sharp blade flashed, scattering blood, flesh, and organs everywhere.
Monsters! These mortal soldiers, staring at the swirling blades and their comrades torn to pieces, wore despair in their eyes.
The forward outpost, which was independent of the internal base, also suffered heavy damage. Cloud was seriously injured and was kneeling on the ground after being attacked by four Avalanche Organization members.
But he still pursed his lips, leaning on his broadsword, stubbornly blocking the middle of the road.
"Someone beat you to it? Ignore this troublesome kid, you two go first!"
Upon hearing the thunderous roar from within the mountain, the masked Barret and the trench coat-clad Vincent immediately took charge of intercepting the Shinra pursuers behind them, creating an opportunity for Tifa and Yuffie to escape.
P. S.: Cloud's identity has been slightly changed.
Chapter 453, Section 479 (Second Update)
Seven Star Village Mountain Base.
The Mina and her companions grappled with the last Shinra and sliced him in two. The entire core testing area was now awash in blood, and several trembling researchers huddled in a corner.
Excellent! The experiment was a success! Far beneath the Siberia permafrost, the founder of [Wild Serpent], gazing upon his wife's clones and witnessing the astonishing results, was overjoyed and leaned over the cryogenic chamber for a passionate kiss.
His wife, who seemed to have evolved into Herrscher- like being, remained peacefully asleep inside.
I will not let any of those who forced us to conduct human experiments and harmed you get away with it!
You'll help me, right? Great evolution is meant to weed out those Old Man who just want to prolong their lives!
Doctor Final was acting erratically, sometimes muttering to himself, sometimes wearing a blissful smile, as if he were reminiscing about the past.
Death is always the most somber topic for humanity, and if there is even a glimmer of hope to overcome it, power and money are willing to serve it.
