"The Shinra corporation has every right to confiscate this Materia!" Elena fumed.
"But it's meant to be a truce and your bosses agreed to it, so we could save YOU!" Tifa shot back.
Yuffie's materia theft, followed by her kidnapping by Don Cornero, alongside the blonde female Turk, had given the whole party a headache... and now, Tifa had a new one. Elena had apparently grabbed some of their newer materia from Yuffie, and Tifa wanted it back. And so she confronted the blonde who was rifling through what had apparently been Don Cornero's camp.
"And thanks for that but do you really think we're going to leave dangerous materia in the hands of terrorists?!"
"If you'd rather be tied back up on the mountain, it can be arranged."
Elena scoffed, and held up some of the materia.
"Oh, sure. Maybe I should just use this one here, hm? Forget this 'truce' and capture you all?"
Tifa raised an eyebrow.
"That's a summon materia. All you'll do is cause a giant monster to show up and wreck stuff... in the middle of a town. I mean, it's a very Shinra thing to do but given the town in question still has a bunch of angry and powerful fighters, and your two colleagues are back getting drunk, you really think you've got good odds?"
"Typical, you don't even know what this is," Elena sighed, and the materia glowed.
Tifa braced for the arrival of Ifrit, Shiva, or something, but to her surprise, the glow simply seemed to wash over her... and nothing much happened.
"...Alright, gimme that," Tifa sighed, rushing forward to nab it from a gloating Elena.
"Wha... hey!" Elena shriekd as Tifa leapt back... and winced as her sock-clad feet landed on the floor?
Looking down, she saw her top was considerably looser, and the ground a lot closer.
"...Wait, what the hell? Did you partially shrink me?!"
"Yes! It's not a regular summon materia, it's a Magic Spirit materia, with only one spell - but with total control over it!"
"...And this is Mini?"
"Yes, now give me it back!" Elena grabbed for it, as Tifa cast. Elena reached her, now a little shorter, and tackled.
The less than ladylike brawl saw the pair swipe and claw at each other, and the materia, casting and casting, shrinking and shrinking. They fought their way out of their own clothing in the process, Elena's suit pants being discarded as Tifa's skirt and braces came loose. However, at some point, shortly after they both felt their underwear and shirts sliding off their shrunken bodies, Elena managed to get the upperhand, managing to keep a long blast on Tifa until the AVALANCHE woman was tiny even compared to the now two-foot-high Elena.
"Hah, now I just turn myself to my normal height and you're helpless!" Elena smirked, readying the Materia on herself... only for the bauble to fizz and sputter.
"...What did you do?" Tifa squeaked.
"Good question," Cloud said, from behind Elena.
The blonde shrieked and covered herself up.
"G-get out, you pervert!"
"I think it's a good question too, Elena. We had a truce," Reno fumed from behind Cloud.
Elena was somewhat on the naughty step, having been forced to cover up with her now comparatively huge jacket. Tifa, far smaller, was irately wearing some doll's dresses.
"So you used one of the most rare and unpredictable materia on the planet as part of a catfight. Well, your mistake, the Turks have a minimum height requirement and you just went under it," Rude said.
"Until it gets fixed," Elena pouted.
"Uh, it's not fixing. This materia seems to be... busted," Aeris said nervously, holding the red bauble.
"What about regular transforms, esuna? Remedy?" Tifa shouted to be heard.
"Let's try," Nanaki offered, readying a Mini spell.... only for Tifa to shrink even smaller.
"Goddamn it!" She said in a high-pitched voice, at least glad her 'dress' had shrunk with her.
"Oh. Nice work, Elena, you've shrank yourself and her permanently," Reno facepalmed.
"WHAT?!" Two high-pitched shrieks came in reply.
"AVALANCHE, you guys have fun fixing tiny Tifa. We're going to have to cut our vacation... short," Rude smirked.
"Bite me!" Elena fumed.
The Turks grabbed their shrunken colleague, and left soon after, letting the size of the problem sink in...
"...Crap," Cloud sighed.
"Yep," Tifa's tiny voice echoed the sentiment.
