1. Chapter 1: Mission Gone Wrong

Chapter 1: Mission Gone Wrong

It was a dark and gloomy day in Midgar today. Director Lazard was not in a very good mood today as some 3rd Class SOLDIER members had made a big important mission fail. In his office today were him, 1st Class SOLDIER Angeal Hewley, 1st Class SOLDIER Genesis Rhapsodos, 1st Class SOLDIER Sephiroth, and me 1st Class SOLDIER Michelle Sapphire. The four of us kept hearing him rant about the failed mission and I rolled my eyes. "Somebody didn't have his coffee this morning." I whispered to Angeal. "Well that's what happens when 3rd Class SOLDIERS go with 1st Class on a mission and fails in a huge way." Angeal whispered to me. "Ok you all can leave now and go back to what you were doing." said Lazard. "Sir!" the four of us said in unison.

I walked out of the office alone and started walking back to my apartment. As I walked through the halls, I heard nearly all the men wolf whistle at me. As the only female SOLDIER here, this is the part that I hate the most. I kept ignoring all of them as I kept walking. I got into SOLDIER thanks to Lazard being a family friend of my father and Lazard promised that I would be taken cared of the most as they knew that I am the only girl in the program. My Mako-infused eyes kept looking around the area and I saw the virtual training room ahead. I looked through the door and saw Angeal there with two 2nd Class SOLDIERS training with him. When the two of them took their headsets off, I saw one of them have long raven hair and the other one have spiky blonde hair and their Mako-infused eyes looked at Angeal. I looked at a mirror seeing my little curly fro that I inherited from my father and I found a helmet on the floor, so I put it on to hide my face for a few minutes.

I leaned back to the wall, crossing my arms, and put my head a little low but my eyes looked up just in case I saw anyone coming. I looked up and saw Angeal with the two 2nd Class SOLDIERS walk out of the training room and they started walking to where I'm standing. Angeal looked and saw me and nodded his head at me. I nodded my head at him and walked by him and the two 2nd Class SOLDIERS. "Who was that Angeal? Do you know him?" said one of the 2nd Class SOLDIERS. "You mean her?" said Angeal. Their eyes widened in shock. "Her name is Michelle Sapphire. She is the only girl SOLDIER here and one of the four 1st Class SOLDIERS." said Angeal. The two boys looked back with Angeal and they walked to see where I was going.

I finally made it to my apartment after all the distractions. I opened my door and walked inside. I closed and locked the door, put my sword down, took my boots and shoulder armor off, and jumped onto my couch. "Finally! Some time to relax!" I said to myself. I took off the helmet seeing my curly hair flattened a little bit. My apartment is kept away from all of the other SOLDIER members, no apartments were next to me, above me, and below me. So it's nice to have only one apartment on the level 49 floor of the company. I turned on my TV and put on the unwatched recordings of one of my favorite shows: Gotham. I grabbed a few snacks and a few bottles of water and started watching episodes that I missed.

After finishing three episodes, I heard a knock on my door. "Just when I had some alone time." I said to myself. I walked upto my door and unlocked it. I opened the door and saw Angeal. "Hey Angeal what's up?" I said. "Not much. I have two friends of mine that want to meet you." he said. I looked next to him and saw the two 2nd Class SOLDIERS looking at me. "Zack, Cloud, this is Michelle." said Angeal. "Nice to meet you Michelle. I'm Zack and I must say, you have a very pretty name." said the raven haired SOLDIER. "And I'm Cloud. It's an honor to meet you Michelle." said the blonde haired SOLDIER. "It's very nice to meet the both of you Zack and Cloud." I said after shaking both their hands. "So I understand that you're both in 2nd Class am I right?" I asked them. "Yeah that's right. And we know that you're the only girl SOLDIER here according to Angeal." said Zack. "That's true and also one of the four 1st Class SOLDIERS as well." I said.

Before any of the guys said anything we looked and saw a 3rd Class SOLDIER named Kunsel look at us and saw me. "Hey there cutie, what are you doing with these guys here? You should only be with men like me." said Kunsel. He put one of his hands on my lower back and his other hand under my chin trying to seduce me. "How about I show my "sword" if you know what I mean." said Kunsel as he attempted to kiss my neck. "Hey leave her alone!" Zack yelled. Angeal picked Kunsel up by the back of his neck. Zack and Cloud stood in front of me keeping me safe. "Come on you guys. When you see a girl like her here, you gotta get some action." said Kunsel. "She doesn't deserve to be with guys like you. Women should be treated with respect. Not used for dirty purposes." said Cloud. "And if you try to do this to her again, I will tell Director Lazard personally to charge you with attempted rape." said Angeal. Kunsel gulped in fear. "Y-you w-wouldn't dare." said Kunsel nervously. "I would and I will." said Angeal. Angeal threw Kunsel across the hall and Zack and Cloud raised their swords against him. Kunsel ran for his life.

I was sitting on the floor during when they threatened him and I was amazed by Cloud's and Zack's courage and bravery to defend me. "Are you alright Michelle?" said Zack. He and Cloud held out their hands and helped me stand back up. "Y-yeah I'm ok." I said. "Is this what you have to go through everyday?" Cloud asked me. I nodded my head yes. "How many times have guys like him tried to get to you like that?" Zack asked me. "About 5 a day." I said. They couldn't believe that a sweet and kind girl like me is nearly taken advantage of. "I hate guys like that. They don't understand how to treat women at all. All they care about is their looks. Guys that only think of women that way make me feel sick to my stomach. Women should be treated with respect and love of a true, caring man." said Cloud. I was amazed of what Cloud just said and I felt my heart flutter a little. "I agree with you Cloud 100%. Women are alot more than sex tools. Women are supposed to be nice, loving, and kind to people around them. They know that when they grow up they want to find the perfect man that will love them for who they are from the inside. They want to be the perfect mother to their children and raise them right to respect their mother as they grow up." said Zack. My heart felt warm and happy after hearing what both Zack and Cloud said about women in the sweetest way I've ever heard.

I couldn't help but smile at them. Angeal noticed the smile appearing on my face seeing how happy they just made me. "You have a cute smile Michelle." said Zack warmly. "Thank you Zack." I said sweetly. "And you also have pretty eyes. They do look like sapphires." said Cloud warmly. "Thank you Cloud." I said sweetly. Zack and Cloud smiled sweetly at me and I gotta say, they have really cute smiles. "Alright guys it's getting late. We should get going." said Angeal. "Goodnight Michelle." said Cloud. "Have a goodnight Michelle." said Zack. "Goodnight guys." I said. I hugged Zack and Cloud before they left and I saw them leave with Angeal. I walked back into my apartment, closed and locked my door, and went to bed to sleep for the night.

The next morning came and Angeal and I were called for a mission. We sat in the airship with infantrymen heading out to a disclosed location. I looked around the huge airship and I saw both Cloud and Zack are in the mission too and it made me really happy to see them! I walked upto them, poked their arms a little, and they saw me. "Hi Michelle!" they said happily and hugged me. "You guys are in the mission too?" I asked them. "Yeah! Lazard asked us to be in this mission and to be under you and Angeal's command." said Zack. The airship came to a stop and we all knew that we made it to the location. Angeal and I walked out first and then everyone else walked out and formed in line. "Alright men listen up! We have a deadly monster in this area that needs to be executed immediately. This creature is very dangerous and could get all of us and innocent people from anywhere from here. So be cautious all around you and protect your comrades as much as you can. Understand everyone?" said Angeal. "Sir! Yes sir!" said the infantrymen.

As Angeal gave them that talk, I looked around and saw a very familiar village ahead. I waited for Angeal, Cloud, Zack, and the infantrymen to not notice me, and I walked away with no one seeing me. I walked to the village and watched people walk around all calm and happy. I started to recognize the houses and buildings around me and I finally realized that this is my home village! "I'm home, I'm actually home." I said to myself. In my mind I know I'm on a mission, but right now I just want to see my parents and make sure they're alright.

Back with Angeal, Zack, and Cloud

The three of them walked through the woods with the infantrymen and they were ready just in case the monster popped out from anywhere. "Hey Angeal, are you and Michelle a thing?" Zack asked him. "No, Michelle and I are not together. I see her as a loyal comrade not as my girlfriend." said Angeal. Cloud punched Zack's arm. "What?" Zack asked him. "Why would you ask him something like that?" Cloud asked him. "I was just curious. I thought that they were together." Zack said.

"Speaking of her, where is she?" said Cloud. The three SOLDIERS looked behind them seeing that I was gone. The infantrymen stopped and saw Angeal looking at them. "Where is SOLDIER 1st Class Michelle?" Angeal asked them. "Sir, she walked through a different path of the woods. Probably heading towards that village over there sir." said one of the infantrymen. They also noticed that four infantrymen were missing too and they were told that they followed me. "The curious little puppy she is. Let's head to the village." said Angeal. "Sir!" said everyone. They started walking towards the village. "You there, what are the names of the four men that followed her." said Angeal to one of the infantrymen.

"Their names are August Carlow, Sawyer Jayce, Matthew Knight, and Edmund Kaleb." said the infantryman. "Very well, once this mission is over they will have a stern talking to for leaving without my permission." said Angeal. "Yes sir." said the infantryman. "Angeal, is Michelle going to be in trouble too?" Cloud asked him. "No she isn't. She knows how to take care of herself." said Angeal. Cloud and Zack looked at each other and started to wonder if I was ok.

Back to me

I walked upto my house and saw my Mother in the frontyard. "Hi Mom." I said. She jumped for a second and then she looked up seeing my face and I smiled at her. "Michelle! My baby girl you finally came home!" said my Mother happily as she hugged me. "I missed you so much Mom." I said. "I missed you too baby girl." she said. "What's going on out here?" said a voice. We both turned to the door and saw my Father standing there. "Hi Dad." I said. "There's my little girl." said my Father and we hugged each other. "You made it to 1st Class huh?" said my Father. I nodded my head yes. They know that I'm not allowed to talk about my career at SOLDIER. It's part of the code of conduct there. "So what are you doing here in Wolfenburg sweetie?" my Mother asked me. "Well, the truth is I'm on a mission right now, but once I saw the village I knew I had to see you two and see how you're doing." I said. "We're doing well Michelle, but thank you for thinking about us." said my Mother. "You're welcome." I said. I said goodbye to my parents and left my house continuing the mission.

As I walked around, I saw four infantrymen walking around too and then they saw me and walked upto me. "How did you four get here?" I asked them. "We thought you saw the monster roaming here and you were chasing it. We're sorry ma'am." said one of them. I took a good look at them after recognizing one of their voices. "Wait a minute, do you four really know me?" I asked them curiously. "Of course we do Michelle. We all live here in the village remember? How could we ever forget our best bud." said one of them. They took off their helmets and I saw their faces for the first time. "Hold on a second. August, Sawyer, Matthew, and Edmund?" I said. "Yes it's us." said Sawyer. My jaw dropped a little and then smiled at them happily. "How did you guys become infantrymen?" I asked them. "Ever since you left for SOLDIER, we thought that we would join to fight alongside you. When we took the test, we didn't do very well, so they made us infantrymen." said Edmund. I've known these four guys ever since I was five years old and we all have been best friends ever since.

The boys put their helmets back on and the five of us started looking around for the monster. We walked into people that heard of the creature and told us where it hides and we went on hot pursuit of it. We made it to a cave and saw the monster inside eating its prey. The monster was werewolf like. It had glowing red eyes, had five fingered claws on its front paws, four toed claws on its back paws, bone like spikes on its arms, and a long bushy tail. It also had gray fur all over it. "Look at its head guys." said August. "What about it?" said Sawyer. "It looks like part of its skull covering the entire top of its head." said August. I stared at the beast figuring out where to strike it.

The monster looked up and saw us and it roared loudly. Its roar could be heard from miles away. The boys started shooting at it and it deflected every bullet. "How do we put this guy down?!" Matthew yelled. "You guys get out of here! I'll take him on myself." I said. "Michelle are you crazy?! We can't let you do that!" said Edmund. "I'm your commander Edmund. Go, save yourselves. I'll be fine on my own." I said. "Come on let's go!" said Sawyer. The four boys ran out of the cave safely. I took out my sword and heard the beast roar at me. "Ok Fido, let's play." I said. I charged at the beast and we began fighting. I kept dodging every claw swipe it kept doing and I did a Cross Slash to send it on its knees. "Time to end this!" I yelled. Before stabbing the monster, it bit my arm pretty hard and all of a sudden, I lost advantage of the battle. It threw me around violently like I was its chew toy and it broke my sword with an energy sphere it formed in its paw. "How the hell?" I said in pain. As I tried to stand up, the beast charged at me, slashing it claws, and using its energy spheres again and I fell to the ground severely injured.

My eyes looked at the ground and I heard the monster growl louder. I slowly looked up seeing its red eyes ready to kill me and all of a sudden, I saw blood come out of its chest and saw a sword had stabbed through it. It fell to its death right in front of me. After seeing it fall, I blacked out as I felt my consciousness fading away. Before I closed my eyes, I saw Angeal, Zack, and Cloud run upto me calling my name and I blacked out.

"Michelle?" said a voice. My eyes twitched a little and I started waking up. "Hey she's coming through!" said another voice. I opened my eyes and saw Angeal, Genesis, Sephiroth, Zack, and Cloud right next to me and noticed that I was in a hospital room. "Hey Michelle." said Zack quietly. "Hi." I said quietly. "How are you feeling?" Sephiroth asked me. "Pretty good I guess?" I said. "You know what you just did was reckless right?" said Angeal. I lowered my eyes and looked away from them. "Oh come on Angeal, cut her some slack. At least other people didn't die from the monster." said Genesis. I looked around the room seeing medicine wires on me and saw a pretty good view of Midgar from the window. Zack and Cloud looked at me and saw that I was a little sad after what Angeal said to me. They both took my right hand and held it tight. I looked at them and they showed little smiles and I smiled a little too. We heard the door open and saw Director Lazard walk in seeing me all injured. "How are you doing Michelle?" he asked me. "I'm doing alright." I said. He knew that I was upset by the tone of my voice. "Go on say it. I made us fail the mission right?" I said. "No Michelle, the mission was a complete success actually. There were no other people injured besides you. You're pretty lucky that you're still breathing right now. It's thanks to you that many innocent lives were saved before that creature left its cave." said Director Lazard. I looked at him and showed a little smile as a thank you. "Come on boys, she has to get some sleep now." said Genesis. They said goodnight to me and they left the room. I fell asleep for the night. As I was sleeping, I felt a new power inside of me and I saw myself in my dream looking into a mirror and saw the reflection of myself transform into the beast that nearly killed me but with my blue eyes and the ability to speak.

"You see human, you now have the ability to transform into me, an alpha werewolf. I can see that you're a little nervous now, but do not worry, I have your personality and mind, so I know what kind of creatures are good and evil. I hope I can useful to you my new friend and let us become the Hybrid SOLDIER together and we will be the most powerful being on the planet." said the beast. Hybrid SOLDIER? What does that mean? Is it good or bad? Now I really want to know.

Thank you for reading Chapter 1 of the series! This is an AU of Crisis Core as I put Zack and Cloud as 2nd Class SOLDIERS and many new twists to come. The main character of this story is Michelle Sapphire. She was born on October 4th and she is 17 years old, so she's pretty much the same age as Zack was during the beginning of Crisis Core.

I do not own any of the characters of Crisis Core at all! The only characters I own are Michelle, August, Sawyer, Matthew, Edmund, Michelle's parents, and Michelle's werewolf form. Her werewolf is nearly based on the Beowolf from RWBY but with some twists of the powers it can use in battle.

Next time, Chapter 2: How About One Date? It's been a month since that mission and things are pretty much back to normal. After Michelle helps Zack out with a test assignment, he takes her on a date wanting to know her a little more.
