FINAL FANTASY ADVENT BREAKDOWN
Friday night; my homework is done and I'm bored out of my mind. No plans, no friends to hang with, and no morning alarm. Tonight, will be a movie night. One of those, stay up until four AM and sleep until noon the next day, type of deals.
I walk out of my room and to the place where I keep all of my movies; we have so many that you can't really shut the supposed hide away, which is a part of the entertainment center. I decide on a few I haven't watched in a long time, but still some of my favorite ones, everybody has them, the movies where you quote, and sing along to every line and word. I enter my room with The Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland, Hercules, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and my absolute favorite out of the five, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.
I've seen the movie a hundred times, but I still can't get over how good the story is, even if I'm missing some of it because of translation. Out of habit and will I pop that one in my PS2 first. The system asks for a parental control code and because it's my PS2 I put in my four digit code, and then hit the "X" button, which is the equivalent of enter. The ads begin, but not the way they normally do. Something feels off...the air chills and I rub my shoulders to brush it off.
What's going on?
The screen goes black with a pop and I wait a few minutes, stunned by fear. The T.V comes back but this time it's the face of Sephiroth staring through the flames that once torched a town. I try to reach for the controller to hit any button, but his eyes seem mesmerizing. Lightning flashes outside and I go down like a ton of bricks into a dark abyss of unconsciousness.
