It is said that hearing voices in your head is scary. But as someone who has had a voice in my head I assure you that what is truly terrifying is when you no longer hear that voice. That was the case when I resurrected after my attempt using those three remnants I created did not succeed.

This return was different. This time I did not appear face to face with my nemesis Cloud. I was alone in the middle of a city. My method to return was different, rather than create a remnant and modify that boy into a copy of me using mother's cells. My plan was to use the Jenova cells already available in the life stream and use what remained of the previously infected geostigma cells to fill in the rest. It was a slow process until one day a lot of people who were useful suddenly died. It was a gift I did not overlook it.

And there I was stood in the quiet empty Junon night and for the most part my new body was identical to the one that I had made in Edge. There were two obvious physical differences however. one I had not managed to create any clothing and secondly but perhaps more importantly my hair had not been a perfect copy, in fact it resembled Loz's hairstyle with regards to style and length. But these were minor inconveniences when compared to the major problem I could no longer hear mother. Her will was not reaching me and I didn't know why. Even in the life stream I could. I asked myself had the last trace of her fallen? How will I attain my destiny if she has?

I refused to believe it. I decided that until I heard what she would want from me I would do what I could to fulfil my fate as the chosen one.

I walked along the road and found the first person I could he had his back to me and that was his mistake. As he was about my height so I decided his death would serve me well. I snapped his neck a pulled him into an alley and removed his clothing and utilised it for myself. He wore strange clothing which slightly resembled a Shinra uniform but was a slightly different in design. He had a gun and a helmet but I had no need for those so I left it there. It wasn't my ideal choice of clothing but it was good enough for the time being.

I walked further along the same route and saw some people being hurdled into a large box. I observed this from some cover that was provided by an old rusted out car. One of them who was being but into the box cried out "where are you taking us?" I couldn't have cared less about the people inside. But there were several troopers similar to the one I had seen earlier and I found this interesting. I wanted to find out a bit more about these strange troops. From what I could see there appeared to be two women who seemed to be in charge one dressed in the skimpy red bikini and a cape and the other wearing overly large silver coat and had an eye patch. These seemed to be an incredibly unpractical for a uniform. There was a helicopter which seemed to be designed to carry the large box.

"Argento why do they always ask that?"The one dressed mostly in red asked the one who was mostly silver. 'Argento' replied "Rosso why would I know?" then two soldiers came dragging a women one on the solders then saluted and made a report "commanders we found this one snooping around shall we put her with rest?" they both looked at the semi conscious one Rosso answered "as I already ordered if she is tainted kill her then put her in the container where we have put the rest if she isn't put her in the transport container. We can't leave any trace" the same trooper replied "commander she is WRO she may be a useful source of information" Argento replied "we have all the intelligence we need dispose of her now"

I was curious at this turn of events. I did not know who this strange group was but they were unusual. Even Shinra took prisoners. I continued to watch

I had no interest in stopping her death unfortunately as she was being led away she cried at me "do not let me die please! You over there help me!" and she pointed at me. The entire group look towards me I realised my cover was blown so I walked out. "So we have a spy it seems. Is he tainted?" the silver one pointed a small device towards me Argento replied "yes. But to a far greater level than anyone else"

Rosso shrugged "Then kill him" she gestured toward some troops wearing the same uniform as the one I had killed earlier

When I saw the army come towards me I realised that this could be a useful exercise to see that I was fully functioning so I cast ultima to judge my current level of skill and the level of strength of these people. All their troops that were sent to kill me fell to my first attack. I was rather disappointed I was hoping they'd have been more of a challenge. It left me with two commanders, two regulars and the stupid woman. Rosso addressed me "darling, you appear to have some skill .it will by my pleasure to destroy you"she revealed a most curious weapon what i can only describe as a double bladed sword with an unusual attachment in the middle. "Your magic is useless against us" Argento pulled out a sword that strongly resembled a standard issue SOLDIER blade. Their weapon choice told me everything about my opponents that I needed. Argento bowed her head behind the blade and then got into a battle stance.

"So who are you? I like to know the name of those of whom I kill who are not entirely useless" Rosso asked me. It was then that I knew that telling these inferior dullards my real identity would offer no benefit so I decided to have some fun. "You may call me daremo nai and who are you?" although I now knew their first names I felt I had to play along. They looked at each other and then Rosso Responded "I am Rosso the Crimson and my Cycloptic Colleague here is known as Argento the Sterling" Rosso continued "we're Tsviets, though I doubt that name will mean anything to you" I had no idea what a Tsviet was, although I felt like somewhere I had heard the name before

Although I knew that I had the ability to destroy them with magic I decided that my new body could do with a proper workout. "Well then. I'll need a weapon" I then summoned my oldest friend my blade Masamune directly into my Left hand .I'm not actually left handed, actually I'm fully ambidextrous but because the majority of people tend to be right handed they find left handed opponents more challenging. It's a bit of habit.

"Nice trick" commented Argento who did not seem particularly impressed.

Then they came at me. As I expected Rosso was quick, flashy but mostly show she did not have any real power and deflecting her blows was easy. The same could not be said of Argento she had some power and while her attacks weren't as dazzling every attack was focused and required skill to deflect. I defended myself from their attacks for approximately 10 minutes then I decided to go on the attack. I used a series of 8 sword swipes to remove their defences and managed to make Rosso drop her weapon and knock her to the ground with a kick. Argento however was still standing but was starting to tire. Rosso jumped back to her fee grabbed her weapon and returned to our fight. For 5 minutes more I continued to trade blows. If I'm honest I probably should've finished the fight but I have to admit it was for want of a better word 'enjoyable' to fight on their terms. Plus I was getting a strange feeling of déjà vu.

Then the two regular soldiers came back one of them stated "Commanders orders from Nero he has ordered us to clean up and leave now the WRO are coming to investigate."

Rosso quite reluctantly stated "We will obey the orders." and then started to walk back to the helicopter. Argento looked at me "looks like you get to live and it seems you've managed to keep that one WRO alive. For Now." then they got back into the strange Helicopter from earlier. It took off. Now I could've easily destroyed the helicopter but at that moment the woman from before grabbed hold of me in an embrace

"Thank you for saving me. Whoever you are"

Now firstly I had never had any interest in saving her. And secondly I have never much cared for hugs. So this was slightly annoying.

"Though we both failed at saving the people because you kept me alive I can call the WRO and my boss will deal with that lot."

"I'm leaving" I really couldn't take anymore of this woman. And she didn't seem worth the effort of killing.

"But I need you to tell my bosses what you saw. Besides there probably a reward in it for you and with your skills they'd probably make you an officer."

I realised that this WRO whatever it was might have someone whom if they saw me face to face might recognise me so I shook my head

She took out what looked like a business card and wrote on the back of it then handed me "well take my card if you change your mind." So I read it, it said Dr. Rebecca Rayleigh WRO and had a phone number. "By the way the number on the back is my personal number. So you can call me directly." And then she winked at me.

In order to get away from this woman I took the card and then cast a sleep spell on her. She quickly fell asleep. I decided to walk off down a number of different streets for about 5 minutes I knew my way around Junon perfectly so I knew I wouldn't get lost but then I realised the problem. I had nowhere specific to go. One of the virtues of my old life in the northern crater was that I didn't have to think about such trivial matters. I thought about it for a bit, and then I decided I would go to somewhere that virtually no-one knew about, where I would be the only person currently alive with access. The house that Hojo used to use when he was in Junon.

Knowing what I know now, that was a bad decision.
