PS: Please Read and enjoy and criticize but general flaming like for example your writing style just sucked etc... I will not tolerate. Now on with the Story.

Chapter 1

"How's the test subject going?"

"Going well, he has passed every single test we have given him including taking a bullet in the shoulder without even flinching or knowing he had taken it"

It was 2001. I was twelve years old, and ever since I can remember, I was a lab rat, with over five hundred other kids all used as test subjects.

We were to be known as the next generation of super soldiers... they would call us... Jenova Squad.

It all started just as I was born. Kids who never cried right away after being born were taken away from their parents and then separately raised and injected daily with DNA altering serum, they called it, The Jenova Strain.

As we got older a lot of kids developed illnesses and more then often enough, they died because of it. In one week it killed hundreds. As the years went on, we were trained to kill; eventually... we showed little mercy to who we killed. If people weren't pulling their weight on the battle field, they would send us in to mop things up.

In the year 2005 they were running low on money and only had room to stabilize three candidates. They decided to see who would be the last 3 standing and ordered us to kill one another; I can still remember the brutality of it all still to this day. I was the last and only male candidate to survive. When the carnage was all over, they congratulated us, and then shipped us off to war. We were only sixteen.

The Taliban War was held in Afghanistan and if anyone can remember the previous war over here with the soviets over twenty years ago, you would know that it was sheer terror and something no one wants to remember. The Afghanistan war to the soviets was like Vietnam to the Americans, too much blood shed.

It was my job to lead Jenova Squad; I was a General, the highest rank one can get in the army. Together with my other two officers Lieutenant Colonel Lilith and Major Merrill who we all just called Feral Merrill because of how brutally she killed her opponents, wait I should more like to call it... her victims.

Oh yes I forgot to mention something my name is General Corey Keith Briggs. People most liked to call me General Fox, or the Shadow Fox for my combat style and wiliness.

After the war we were twenty years old I was the youngest ever General in the world but the rest of the world wasn't to know that. We weren't celebrated as war heroes; someone else took the credit for killing Osama Bin Laden. You see all we were there is to save them the trouble of being expendable men. But for Jenova Squad... we were expendable since we were born.

The moment we returned to the research lab, they ordered us to be mutilated and destroyed. They got a big shock when we finally turned on them; we destroyed everything except for our own records and personal files. We then just headed our own separate ways. We haven't heard from one another since.

"So that's my story Dutch" I explained "I have more then enough experience for your crew"

We were sitting at some bar at the local pub in my home town of New Norfolk. It's a shit hole of a town, nothing as shitty as Roanapur but still kind of shitty since we can't fight and kill or do any of the fun stuff. You wouldn't know how many times I wanted to turn this place into a cluster fuck. Yeah open up my own mafia group and run rampant on this tiny fucking shit hole of a town. But hey, what the fuck can you do?

"Hey Fox, why the fuck you still here in this town anyway hey!?" Someone yelled at from across the bar.

"Don't worry I'll be gone soon enough!" I yelled back. "This place is just too lively for my tastes anyway, to many people that make this town seem like the world of the living. It defiantly isn't a place for me. Someone that has died a long, long time ago"

"Yeah whatever~ "

"You know what you talk way too much" I said as I pulled out my Biretta 92FS Custom Cutlass specials and popped a bullet fair in his skull. "Now that that's settled, Dutch, lets get going before we have our selves a thunder from down under styled brawl"

"Yeah I can see your point" Dutch said as he skulled the last of his booze. We headed out across town to where we found the rest of the gang hanging around old Tynwood Park.

"Hey Dutch...who's the fuck head in the trench coat?" a Chinese American woman said to me. She had long straight purple hair tied up into a pony tail and wearing a tank top and cut jeans that reminded us of short shorts.

"Calm down Revy we barely even know this guy and you're already picking a fight with him" a guy by the name of Rock said waving his hands in the air in front of him. He was your typical Japanese white collar looking person. Black hair, tie, white shirt, you get the picture.

"Calm Down!? I'll give you fucking CALM DOWN" Revy snapped back "HOW ABOUT I PUT A BULLET IN YOUR FUCKING SKULL ROCK!?"

"Wow I can see I made a great first impression" I said as I scratched the back of my head"

"Don't worry about them, they are always like this" Benny said as he readjusted his glasses. He was like the intelligent guy of the group. Glasses blond hair, Hawaiian shirt, later found out he was Jewish, and fuck the Nazis was a family creed to him.

"Yeah guess your right... anyway, Dutch we moving or not? I don't have much luggage other then my papers and the sooner we leave here the fucking better" I exclaimed.

"Yeah lets roll, oh and Revy?" Dutch asks

"Yeah?" she merely replied....

"Try not to get Whitman Fever because of the new guy all right?"

We piled into the car and headed to the Hobart docks where we boarded their U.S. Navy PT boat Black Lagoon, actually more like ex U.S. Navy PT boat. Dutch stole it when he was in the Marines who fought in Vietnam War after the fall of Saigon in 1975 Dutch went AWOL and escaped to Thailand to work as a mercenary.

"Hey new guy what we going to call you anyway?" Revy piped up as she sat untied the boat from the dock. "Oh I know... how about shit head or cocksucker?"

"I don't know check my file for a nickname" I merely replied as I grabbed my gear and helped Dutch set the co ordinates to the safest way out of here.

"Shit your telling me this guy was a General?" Benny whistled enthusiastically.

"Yup" I merely said as I dropped down into the cabin from the crows nest. "Got a problem with it?"

"No, no not at all, hey Revy why don't we call him Fox after his General's name?"

"Yeah whatever, so Mr. Army how many you kill anyway? I heard that once you hit Colonel you just push papers back and forth to ICORE" Revy said as she hit me on the head with her fist as hard as she could to try and knock me out. I didn't feel a thing.

"What the fuck this guy made of Dutch? Used Sherman Tanks?" Revy said dumbfounded as she drank her beer.

"Check the records it's all there" I mere said as I went for a beer myself. The beer was crap as ever, but that's to be expected since beer tastes like piss and never gets you drunk.

"Damn I could use a better drink then this piss" Revy said as she threw her can of piss (beer) overboard.

"Yeah this shit never gets you drunk" I said back at her and pulled out a bottle of Bacardi "RUM ALL THE WAY!" I yelled.

"OH FUCK YEAH, Now we're talking" Revy said as she jumped off a wooden box that was obviously used as something to sit on. I threw her the bottle as I went searching for some glasses.

"Hey Rock, you want some?" I asked.

"Sure" he merely piped in. as we sat in the cabin drinking and talking about past, present, maybe even future we got a got a radio message coming from a Navel Carrier asking us to stop what we were doing and other mambo jumbo bullshit.

"Well looks like I got some shit to do then" I said as I got up and put my generals commander jacket on.

"What the fuck you doing Fox" Revy snapped back and was about to pull me down.

"Let him go Revy, he's ex military and a general, he out ranks that entire carrier" Dutch said. After hearing that Revy let me go. I walked up to the crows nest and got on the megaphone.

"HEY!" I Yelled. "Don't you realize who's on this boat? I am General Fox Jenova Squad Australian Army; if you don't let us pass I will have a word with your SUPERIORS!"

After all that was said and done they let us pass without a hitch.

"Whoa smooth talking Fox. How you do that anyway?" Benny asked readjusting his glasses.

"When in doubt just pull rank over their eyes" I said with a cocky wink while giving a thumbs up gesture. "Hey Dutch" I asked "how long until we hit Roanapur anyway?"

"Should be two to three days" he replied. "Why you ask?"

"Just wondering, the sooner some action starts the better I'm going to feel" I said as I sat in the crows nest lighting a cigarette.

Revy was sitting on deck playing her harmonica, so I thought I'd join her by playing my guitar. I thought she would go all ape shit on me but she didn't. I am thinking she rather enjoyed it, same with the rest of the crew.

"Hey Fox, I'm going to hit the hay" Revy said as she headed down to a cabin. "Hopefully tomorrow you can shoot some poor bastards face in and show us your supposed mad gun skills"

"Yeah me to..." I said. I didn't have my own cabin and didn't want one.

"Hey uh... Fox?" a voice asked. It was Rock. "Why aren't you sleeping in a cabin?"

"I prefer it up here and to be honest, I was raised without a bed so it only natural that I can sleep about anywhere and at anytime I desire" I merely replied and went back to sleep.

Dutch had put in an all night cruise no sleep for him so we could get to Roanapur sooner. When we woke up we were about an hour out from the main port. I looked around.

"Hey Fox" Revy piped up as she slapped me on the shoulder "Welcome to your new shit hole". I lit up a cigarette.

"Ha ha, to be honest Revy, it beats the old lab any day..."
