The three pirates arrive at the ground entrance to Midgar, it's guarded by two nasty and underpaid sentries. They lower their weapons, taking aim at the incoming chocobos, shouting for a halt. Vincent is the first to pull on the reigns and bring his bird to a halt, his two crew mimic.
"We are but simple travelers..." Vincent exclaims, only to be interrupted by a guard. "No access today, city on high alert." He snaps.
Vincent sighs, peeved by the situation. "Please gentlemen, we are but weary travelers seeking rest and wine. I can assure you, we won't be any trouble..." The guards eye them all coldly, then motions to Miguel. "What of him!? He looks suspicious. What's his story?"
Miguel's eyes narrow on the guard, angered by his words. Vincent raises his hand to Miguel's mouth before he could mutter a word in reply. "This is Miguel, he's not known for his looks but he's harmless all the same."
The guards look at each other then nod. "Sorry no access!"
Vincent looks to both his crew, nods and charge away with their chocobos.
After a moment, bam, both guards are pummeled under the feet of chocobo's. Vincent and his crew took the liberty to sneak up on them and relieve them of duty so to speak. After a good stomping, Rafee, jumps down and opens the door from its access panel. He hops back on and the three ride into the city.

As the two ride into the city, Miguel looks over to Vincent. "Think this high-alert is because of the Hijrah?" He asks.
Vincent shakes his head. "No, this is something bigger, and our Trabia prey are probably at the heart of it. I just have a feeling."
Miguel nods. "Aye, wonder what the problem is though..."
Vincent, concentrating ahead just mutters. "I'm sure we'll find out."

A blast from the Shinra building startles the chocobos Vincent and the other two are riding. "Shinra! Of course, it's always Shinra." Vincent yells, trying to calm and regain control of his chocobo. "Miguel, Rafee! We ride to Shinra, looks like we may have some fun tonight." They all chuckle snidely and charge off.
Vincent looks up at the sky to the Shinra building one more time. "Dragons...?" Confused but still determined, he charges off to cache up with his crew members.

After a long series of pipe hopping, climbing, riding, jumping, and feats indescribable. Vincent and his two crew arrive at the back of the Shinra building, avoiding the police/military presence around the front.
They bring their chocobos to a halt and dismount, their eyes never looking down from the massive edifice before them.
"Captain... how we getting up there?" Rafee inquires, rather dumbfounded by the immense size of the structure.
"I have no idea... Spread out and look for a way up." Vincent commands, walking toward the building, looking for any way to the top.

"Captain!" Rafee yells from a dark corner. "Found a fire-exit, it's unlocked!"
Both Miguel and Vincent walk over to where Rafee is yelling from, he shows them the door.
"Good work..." Vincent says, trailing off as he looks into the stairwell and up. "Dear gods... it's the stairway to heaven!" Both his crew look over his shoulder and let out a long arguious sigh of disgust. "How... how high is it?" Ask Miguel. "I can see forever!" Rafee exclaims. "Let's get climbing..." Vincent commands and starts up the first flight of stairs. Grudgenly, Rafee and Miguel follow.

After an incalculable amount of time, Miguel speeks up about the insane climb of stairs. "We there yet?" In a whiney huffy voice. "I'm tired?"
Vincent sighs. "Didn't your ancestors live in tree? You should be there already." Vincent snaps back.
"I've grown fat, drunk, and lazy, shoot me." Miguel says, slightly annoyed. "I don't see you leaping from up there!"
Vincent looks behind him, eyes narrowed and angry. "I'm not a damn drunken lazy tree dweller!"
Miguel graps ahold of the railing, his eyes flaming mad. "With all due respect captain... eat tail!" Then, like an explosion, Miguel leaps up to the next level of stairs, his tail whacking Vincent in the face. It doesn't take more then a few seconds before Miguel is out of sight above them.
"Why... that leaping lemur bastard!" Vincent starts running up the stairs, Rafee following, rather dumbfounded.
