Aera had been trying to get into AVALANCHE for a while now, but nothing helped her get in, even the fact that her dad was one of the leaders wasn't enough, up until now that was. He had voiced for her that she was ready to join even though she was 1 year too young. Now she had gotten some sort of test. She was to find out whether or not there was an actual 4th clone of Sephiroth and if it was true try to destroy it. Some sources said that Weiss knew something about it.<br/><br/>She set off to find the Tsviets, which wasn't very hard since they were a mercenary group, they always made it possible to be found by people that needed their services. When she found them she listened around a bit and acted like she was a fellow mercenary who needed some info. By sheer luck she found out that Weiss was sending someone out for something special. Seeing as this may be the lead she needed she followed the person. It was very hard for her to stay far away enough to not be noticed, but still be able to follow the trail and on some occasions she nearly lost her target. Eventually she followed the trail to an old shinra facility. She knew something was up when she saw the trail throughout the facility didn't even take a wrong turn once while going through all of those different corridors, like he or she knew the complete layout of the building.<br/><br/>It was at that moment she heard the screeching of a door down a far away corridor and when she followed the trail further she saw an open door. The door looked like it led to nothing at all, but when she looked inside she saw flights of stairs going down. This proved that this was not just someone exploring this place, but someone that knew this place and where they were going. For the next few minutes she only saw stairs, stairs and more stairs. While going down the stairs she heard a very loud screeching noise from lower down and it sounded like a very big door opened. Out of precaution she placed her right hand on the hilt of her buster blade that she was carrying on her back and went further down.
