In the White Light of Day, the Assassin Smiles is the second episode of Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. The Turks are sent to Junon to protect President Shinra from an assassination attempt by Avalanche during his stay in the city.
Story[]
While the pair reaches the President before the attack, the President's military escort proves ineffective against Avalanche's soldiers, who infiltrate the President's hotel. As Reno stays with the President, the Player Turk clears the building before the President insists on leaving for the conference in spite of the danger.
Forced to act as the President's street escort, the Player Turk and the President enter the conference building where, dressed as Shinra troops, Avalanche momentarily captures the President before the Player Turk saves him as Reno returns to help. Cutting the power to the building Fuhito arrives and while Reno escapes with the President, the Player Turk is defeated by Fuhito. Avalanche has hijacked the Sister Ray cannon.
As Reno returns the President to his quarters, Rufus Shinra calls and notes the new Turk's progress before Verdot informs him of the Sister Ray's hijacking. The President sends Reno to liberate it, leaving him open for Fuhito to enter the room and shoot him. Still alive, the President orders Verdot to send in Sephiroth to destroy Avalanche.
