Press Start.
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy series. Damn, I don't even own this fic. My university professor does.
How should I start my story? Maybe say something about myself, about my previous life and how I got here? Well, you read a lot of those stories every day. I was a usual student, prepared myself to become a teacher. I had friends, family and a girlfriend. My life was a beautiful castle, built on clouds. It was a fairy tale, but every fairy tale has its end. Mine is not an exception.
It was late autumn in Moscow, and the condition of many roads there were not of the best kind. It is really easy to get in an accident. Lethal accident. That's what happened with me.

I woke up with a terrible headache. Like after a year of non-stop drinking contest. I couldn't pull myself together, couldn't concentrate. When I looked around I found out that there were no colors around. No, there was one- green. Lots of green. And a lot of figures. "Is it the Underworld?"- I asked.
"It is ,in a sense "- an ethereal voice answered. It was female from the sound of it.
"Am I dead?"- I wondered.
"It's up for you to decide"- the voice answered.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't remember, do you?"- the voice asked. "Sephiroth".
"E-e-e-h, sorry, I don't follow you, what did you just say?"
"Remember"-she said, and I remembered…

That was really creepy, scary and painful for my poor head. I mean, come on, what would you feel when you'll remember your past life? Especially like mine. Sephiroth, I was fucking Sephiroth.
"Who are you? What do you want?!"- I roared, scared shitless.
"On Gaia I am known as the Goddess, on Earth I am known as Minerva, Goddess of wisdom. Your journey is not at an end, Keeper." She was Minerva herself, and she needed me for something. But for what?
"What do you mean? What keeper? What the hell is going on?"-I continued my line of questions."
"You are the Keeper of this world, Sepheroth, along with AVALANCHE and Turks. Your help is needed, and it was needed yesterday."
"Why me, why not Zack, Angeal? They'll do much better in this sort of situation."-I wondered.
"I can't resurrect them by myself… They are part of the life-stream now, part of the planet. They are out of my reach. I may be the guardian of this world but I am not in complete control. You on the other hand were not part of the planet. You prayed for another life and were brought to another world called Earth, cleansed from Jenova cells. It was in my powers to bring you back. And it will be your task to bring the others. For what, you may ask? A great threat is upon us…"- Realization fell upon me.
"Let me guess- Jenova…"
"Partially. She isn't the only one. There are others like her coming…"
"Others, like Jenova? Well, Gaia is officially in a serious trouble. What do you expect me to do?"
"Gather others, AVALANCHE, WRO, Turks, prepare them for future battles. They won't be ready on their own." It was a nice embryo of a plan, but I needed something more refined. Besides, Cloud could do it, right?
"Wait, wait, and wait. They have Cloud Strife. The same Cloud Strife that saved the world two times, wiped my ass three times and who is considered to be the living awesomeness now. Did I miss something?"
"He's dating Tifa Lockhart now."
"Thanks for telling me. That was really useful information."-I replied sarcastically.-"Now, how do I get out of here?"
"So you agree?"-Minerva wondered.
"Like I have a choice. How exactly am I going to complete the task? Will I have any help? What is the political situation in the world? Wha…"-and then I was silenced.
"You'll understand soon enough. Now, wake up!"
And then I left my slumber…
Reviews would be good. Does this fic have future? I beg you to review or my teacher will kill me. And that's not a joke...
