Full Summary:

Chibi Sephiroth = SEPHIROTH OF HAPPINESS!

Zack, Kunsel, Reno and poor Cloud who is dragged into all this madness, are planning a prank on Angeal. Actually they have next to no idea what the serum they're sneaking into his drink will do. Well, they did get it from Hojo's labs, who knows what could happen.

'Oh no' Zack whispered.

'Whats happening?' Cloud was up on his tippy toes trying to see through the crowd.

'Red alert! Sephiroth just drank the spiked alcohol!'

Hello fanfiction world!

Warning: There will be one small *tiny* itty-bitty bit of drug use that will cause THE SEPHIROTH, OF HAPPINESS!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Square Enix, so all the epic sequel and prequel stories, as well as stories that are completely of my own creation, cannot be created into high definition graphic games for all to enjoy or hate to their hearts content.

Arhhhhhhh! I want Kingdom Hearts III, Versus XIII and another Final Fantasy VII game soooooooooo badly! If I have to wait much longer I'm going to explode!

Hour Zero: The Vial

IN THE LABS

'Soooooooo... What's this thing do?'

Zack made to pick up the shiny platinum looking cube.

'Don't touch that!' Hojo snapped.

Before Zack could ignore the order Hojo covered it with an oil soaked cloth.

'Yo guys, take a look at this!'

Zack and Hojo spun around. Zack excitedly, Hojo stressfully.

'What are you doing! Put that back!' cried Hojo.

Reno had placed on himself a strange helmet. It was silver and had black tentacle-like cables sprouting from it at various angles, and didn't look safe in the least.

Cloud was in the process of trying to pull it off if his head while Kunsel was enthusiastically helping him to clip it on.

Hojo looked ready to flip his lid, and they'd only been in the room for 53.76 seconds.

Before he could snap or anyone else could do anything the cables on the helmet began to spark and glow blue.

Reno's eyes widened, 'Uh, guys,what-'

Now both Cloud and Kunsel were struggling frantically to get the thing off Reno's head.

Zack made to help but ended up catching Reno instead, as his eyes rolled up in his head.

'I told you not to touch anything.' Hojo said with a smirk.

'What is this thing!?' Zack asked frantically.

Kunsel had run to fetch a medical officer, Cloud was still trying to get the helmet off. The cables were beginning to wrap themselves around Reno's face, and smoke was now curling off them in small tendrils.

'It is a Medusa Head prototype.'

'A what?' Cloud asked. Now both him and Zack were tearing at the cables, Zack had a hold of one with his teeth.

'Houyrw gphet ivth orf imm?'

'Pardon?'

Zack spat out the cable.

'I said, 'HOW DO WE GET IT OFF HIM!'

Hojo looked mildly wounded, 'Theres no need to shout', he said in a huffy manner.

He then walked calmly over to a computer and picked up a microphone.

'Computer access code 5351, prototype section 5, Medusa Head 3 wireless shutdown, commence immediately.'

Cloud and Zack had to jump back from poor Reno as the helmets cables began to whip and twitch violently, spraying blue sparks in all directions.

There was a loud beeping sound and the lights on the helmet turned from blue to orange to red, until they faded completely. The dead cables flopped down on the floor and Reno's face.

'Quick, get it off him!' Zack said.

Cloud hurriedly undid the strange helmet and chucked it into a chair.

'You couldn't have done that sooner?' Cloud asked, panting slightly from stress.

Hojo shrugged, 'I just didn't feel like it.'

IN THE MEDICAL WING

'Hey guys,' said Cloud, 'I think he's waking up.'

Reno blinked open his eyes and saw above him the worried and slightly blurred faces of Zack, Cloud and Kunsel.

'What happened?' he slurred.

'Uhh,' Zack began, 'well, you got attacked by a helmet, then your hair was smoking, well, actually that was at the same time-'

'And then you stopped breathing' Kunsel chimed in.

'Oh yeah! And then you stopped breathing' Zack repeated.

Cloud face palmed.

'And then Kunsel came back with someone from the Medical Wing, which is where you are right now by the way, and they electrocuted you with a pocket sized stun gun thingamajig and brought you back here were you've been on life support for the last three hours.'

He said it so cheerfully it made you think he talking about going out for a picnic, not the fact that someone had almost died.

'And in other news,' Kunsel added, 'We have the pass code!'

Zack and Kunsel high fived across the sick bed.

Cloud gave Reno a glass of water which was promptly thrown at Zack.

'Thats for giving me the bum job.'

The glass missed and smashed against a cupboard.

THE LABS (again)

'Yo, hurry up with the pick lock Kunz.'

'Well if you haven't noticed this is Hojo's lab, this isn't easy you know!'

Reno held up his hands 'Well excuse me princess, I just wanna get my prize for my brave sacrifice and see its effects ASAP.'

'Both of you be quiet,' Zack whispered from his look out post at the end of the hallway.

'Are you sure this is a good idea Zack?' Cloud asked worriedly from his lookout at the other end of the hall.

'There's no need to worry Spiky, I got Reno to set the cameras to turn off at this time tonight before we initiated the plan this morning.'

Zack turned to look at Reno.

'You did set the timer, right?'

'What is this? Everyone blame Reno day? Well for your information I did set the timer so-'

'Got it!' Kunsel said in a victorious whisper.

'Great,' cheered Zack, ' Reno change places with me.'

'What! Why?'

'Because I know what I'm looking for. Now hurry up, cause I think we're stretching our luck as is. The routine check of this wing could come at any moment!'

A bead of sweat trickled down Cloud's neck.

Zack and Kunsel slipped through the now open door, slid into two spiny chairs and commenced hacking into Hojo's computer.

'Okay... If I do this it should activate the microphone... Uh, no, dont do that computer... No, bad computer!...Ha! Ta-da! Kunsel strikes again!'

He held up the now operation mic. and waved it tauntingly.

'Quick, hand it over,' Zack demanded as he snatched it. 'Compute access code 5351.'

Numbers and words began flashing up on the screen.

'Yes! Ummmmmm, oh! That one! I mean... data base 3, serum section 2!' Zack said enthusiastically.

He was practically jumping out of his seat.

'Zack, calm down man.'

'Sorry, I just can't believe that we haven't been caught yet!'

'Cupboard 16. Okay, I'll be right back' Kunsel walked swiftly away into the darkness of the lab.

Zack began erasing all records of their activity on the computer and then put the chairs back where he thought they'd been when they'd come in. Their enthusiastic arrival had caused the wheeled chairs to slide and spin a bit. (Which had been fun.)

Kunsel came back with a small vial in his gloved hand, 'Ta-da' he whispered as he held the faintly glowing liquid in front of his face.

'Don't do that, it looks creepy' Zack whispered back.

The young men exited the lab and gave Cloud and Reno big smiles and thumbs up. Kunsel flashed the vial once before hiding it in his pocket.

Zack locked the door and they all snuck away just as the guard turned the corner.

Nothing unusually here. Nothing at all.

END OF CHAPTER

Oh no, what are these four up to?

And yes, I know, the Sephiroth of happiness hasn't arrived yet, BUT HE WILL!

This is more of a prologue than an actual part of the story but, *shrugs* I'm a person who writes lots to explain little.

Any helpful criticism is welcome, I need it and I thank you!

Genny out.

- Even if the morrow is barren of promises

Nothing shall forestall my return!
