                              Chapter VI: The Ark Reaching Completion


  With Rufus and his family work on the Ark, Jane appears in the sky. Unssen by all. Rufus uses the large wooden crane to put things together.
  Scarlet uses a hamster wheel in the crane to move it. Tseng, Rude, and Reno help the animals put the lower parts into palce.
Only though the problem was... they can't drive things into thick wood.
  When Rufus looks down below at Scarlet running the wheel, he says," It's over. Don't fret about it." "Good. Let's keep moving."
  Jane flew down to Rufus, and told him,"You got this far with help. But I sense the terrible flood on September 22, 2007. You will also see rain." "How much?"
  "... That, I cannot tell. It is much too difficult to tell. Your kind has no power they can witness from me. Oh, yes, you missed a nail."
With Jane hammering the nail in slowly, Scarlet yells to Rufus,"What's taking you so long?!" "Don't worry, Scarlet I got help!" Rufus shouted back.
Jane looked to the nail fitting into it's place perfectly. Jane faced Rufus, and shown him the nail fitting into it's slot. "That is how YOU hammer a nail, Rufus.
Did you watch?" "Yes, I did."
  He looked at Jane and said,"The Ark is almost to comepletion. How many more days will it take?" "... Today." "What?" "Today, you finish it today!
Most people want to watch. But they can't. The Ark is for you and the animals. Save everyone in this town/city and you will have five powerstones on your
crown when you reach Heaven. You will have your own mansion... in otherwords, your own place in Heaven. God can be one generous Man. Though He
works more than you."
  "How?" Rufus asked, hammering in a couple nails in five seperate places at once. Looking towards Jane's direction, She was gone in a flash. Rufus had
another question unanswered. "Oh, great. She's gone. Another question, yet, unanswered. Jane always left at the strangest times, but, She is the Assistant of God."
  Looking at the Ark, he falls frontward this time. With nothing but the ground. The cold, hard, ground. "Waaaahhhhh!!!!!" Yelled Rufus. "Rufus!"
Yelled Scarlet. After that, it was undescribable of what happened, but, it could be explained.
  Facing nothing but the ground, Rufus stopped falling, somehow. Angels surrounded Rufus. They were bright, with halos that were od pure gold.
And wings that were to bright of white as ever. "Rufus," said one of the five angels," You are dead, but you will be revived." "You... saved my life?
How?" "Rufus Shinra, you will be sent back to your body."


                                    When Rufus Was Revived...


  It was inside the house, alone. But the family around him like guard dogs. "Scarlet... Tseng, Rude, and Reno... you're all here. Where was I...
who carried me in?" "I did, sir." A stoic voice that came from the Turk Leader, Tseng. "Tseng?"
  "And it was I who tended to your death. I came as soon as possible." Elena, a great and honored Turk. The newest to be exact.
"I was silent the whole day." Said a certain SILENT Turk, Rude. "I called Mr. President." "WHAT!!???"
  Rufus was shocked the Red Haired Turk, Reno, said that to him. "At the moment, he is at an interview.
I can't believe what he said to you at the meeting 1 day ago." "May I ask what time it is?" "It's 6 at night. You have been dead for hours,
Rufus. You look like you are hungry. May I get you anything?"
  "Did we even have dinner yet?" "No, not yet. Hey, you four, join us for dinner tonight." Said Scarlet. Jane came into the room as the Turks left.
"You survived, and so did the Ark. I commend you did well. But the Ark is not finished. You still have the windows for the inside to do.
I trust that is will happen tomorrow. I want you to get it finished by then." "Everything alright?" "Everythings fine. With all the other animals helping, we are fine."
"Are you sure?" "Yes, I am fine. There is nothing to worry about. Hey, where did this come from?" Rufus glanced at a package that Jane held, probably for a while.
Jane gave him the package, sort of like an offering. "Take it, you will need it."
  Opening the package slowly, he saw the good luck charm that Scarlet gave to him a while back. "Why did you give me this?" "You dropped it in your old office a while
back."
  "Well, I'm revived and that's what counts. I can still enjoy the hiking trip I promised my family. Hey..." Rufus paused. Jane watched him, saying," What am I having for
dinner Scarlet?"
  "Whatever you wish, I haven't thought of anything much. You, Jane, what am I having for dinner with my family?"
  Jane paused to think about it, then She said this," You will be having beef soup along with with Italian Baked Bread and Pita Bread. You will have a side of carrots,
tomatoes, and squash.
There won't be broccoli tonight. How's that for a dinner?"

  Scarlet and Rufus stood not moving, when, out of the blue: Rufus fainted, again. "Rufus!!!" Scarlet screeched. "Awaken... " Jane called.
  I was soon enough Jane had said it that Rufus did wake. "What just happened?" He said. "I tell you on the way to the table of dinner. I see all that will happen this night.
You will... remember that this is the second to last night you can work on the Ark." "You are kidding. When will this happen?" "Midday... September 22. 12:00 PM exactly."
"Your kidding. Is the the Ark reaching completion?" "It is, Rufus. You have all day to work on it. Tomorrow. So you better work hard. The final peices of the inside need to be
prepared for it. Got it, Rufus?" "Yeah, I think so. I just don't feel right. In the Bible, does it say anything how You came to being?" "Are you nuts?! No! I never existed. I never
did. I only exist in stories." "That's not possible."
  "Yes it is." Jane called out. "You don't believe in me--" "Jane, can you cook?" Scarlet interrupted. "Yes I can. I happen to know everything. About it." Jane used telepathy
to speak, the words were usually a small noise, because Jane never learned to speak. So you can tell She has no use for Her mouth. But She learned the many languages
from an Anonymous.
  "Come." "Rufus, since I am being called, I am cancelling this conversation. We will continue later. Raincheck!" Rufus was left in his and Scarlet's room, without anyone
else in it. He looked to the doorway, but heard nothing. "'The Ark, it is reaching comepletion', Jane had said. What exactly did She mean to say. It is almost finished? Only
She knows exactly what She means." Rufus got off of the bed. It was sort of a darkness outside near the Ark, and everything near it. So it was also dark in the room,
because Jane closed the door on the way out. "Let there be light, in this room." Rufus turned on the lamp right beside him. He walked toward the door, and opened it. He
looked at the painting, the painting, of... God's supposed appearance? "How'd this get here?", he asked himself. "I thought it might be interesting to see a connection of
God in your room."
  "Jane, you were downstairs." "Yes, so?" "How did you get--" "Rufus, I can do anything, I am not imprisoned on this planet. I am a free soul. Though My ancestors lived
on this planet, that doesn't make Me not want to be up here." "But You, You said, You never existed." "That's true, I don't."
  *Get downstairs.* Jane said using telepathy to Rufus. "How do you do that?" "I'm psychic, you can do many things, when you rule over a planet. Given powers like,
I, I shall tell you, Earthenrealm Human."



                                     Downstairs...and Outside too...


  Scarlet looked at the table, and looked at Tseng, the Turk. He was always the first and never fooled around. Elena was washing herself. Rude and Reno, well... just Rude
was waiting outside when Reno was about to get back. Nobody had any clue where he was going, so Scarlet went out and asked Rude, herself. "Where is Reno? He was
supposed to be here." "I don't know. He said he was going somewhere, but never specified where exactly.
