The Revealed Crisis
Prologue: Boredom Returns
Warning, the beginning begins with some minor fourth wall breaking/ genre awareness.
IDS Dimension 98: Personal Dimensional Space
Sixteen is bored. Having sent off the three to fulfill their task of changing the course of that universe, there was once again a vast emptiness off time. He has no need to focus on observing the three of them 24/7. No other projects were pending review and he was still hidden away from the current government of Neutrality. Unlike Seventeen who views what is going on with wide eyes and a shiny glow, Sixteen has long lost the spark for such actions. Now the tension of waiting for either opponent or change easily gets to him.
He wandered around the empty space, occasionally pulling out a report before immediately discarding it. Before long, the once empty space that filled his life was cluttered with past reports.
Birth of a New Lieutenant!
Recently, the Grand Dimensional Lord Anonymous has appointed yet another candidate to replace the aging Sixteen, the former Lieutenant having served for 14982 years in service to Neutrality. The new Sixteen was quoted-
Victory at Loq Viep
The ten day long assault upon the frontier dimension La-
Missing!
Many of Anonymous' Lieutenants have mysteriously disappeared after a encrypted file was sent to them. Those that remained claimed to have no idea where the rest went. If the ones that remained are -
In this way even the important files got mixed together with news articles. It was while walking around discarding files that Sixteen tripped over the aforementioned mess. His face spectacularly fell onto a book. Pulling his face up off of the book, Sixteen began to to throw the book when the title caught his eye.
Showing the Past off to People for Dummies
Sixteen had read the book before, and has already implemented this into changing dimensions, but was at an impasse because of how much of waiting there was to do. So he pulled up a chair skimmed the book, and tossed it it the pill he just got off of.
Still bored, the book stayed on his mind until he at last decided to act upon it. It would be killing two birds with one stone; he would relieve his boredom and also change a dimensions direction.
He grabbed a file he had discarded earlier and looked through it looking for dates and people. Eventually he arrived at one selection.

Zack Fair
All he would have to find now are viewers.
Gaia: Midgar
A man with large blade has just joined his companions in front of what appears to be a massive reactor. Before the large man with a gun arm can say anything though, they vanish into thin air.
Elsewhere a girl is selling flowers from her basket. Before she can call out to another customer she too vanishes.
In the slums, a girl is taking a short break, looking after a bar and her friend's daughter by herself, worry for her friends hidden, before vanishing with the girl.
In Hojo's laboratory, a canine like creature bids his time to murder the mad scientist before he disappeared.
The son of a President conspires with four suites people at his side before they are pulled away from their world.
A man works on creating multiple robotic moogles and cats before vanishing with them.
Rocket Town
An engineer is yelling at a woman for tea before they abruptly disappear.
Forest
A young ninja laughs at her latest marks falling for her "save icon" trap and pockets the materia before disappearing.
Shinra Manor
A man cloaked in velvet slumbers, believing that sleeping is the best way to atone for his sins, before he teleports, leaving his empty coffin behind.
IDS Dimension 98: Personal Dimensional Space
Immediately after Sixteen had activated the gathering device, his irritation returned.
It works so well when you know who you want, but when you just want a general concept it takes so damm long to activate! Then it doesn't actually bring them to you, nope. You have to go out to each dimension individually to grab them them. But give it a name and BAM, I brings them right to you. All that time I've…
Will thinking these thoughts, the machine finished its calculations and flashed. The room became gold temporarily while Sixteen attempted to readjust his eyes. When he was done, there were twenty people, if you include the robots, before him.
"Ah, finally. How about some introductions everyone?"
At once all eyes converged on him.
The man with the large sword stepped forward, blade ready. "Why don't you go first?"
Sixteen's left hand went to his chin for a moment. "Yeah, that probably the normal response."
He returned his gaze to everyone around him.
"I'm Sixteen, Dimensional Lieutenant, nice to meet you."
The man with the sword didn't relax as he responded, "Cloud Strife, ex-SOLDIER first-class."
The gun arm man stepped forward. "Now listen here man, there ain't no reason to listen to all this bullsh-"
The girl with the small child next to them scolded, "Barret, language!"
Barret turned to face the girl, his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Marlene! What are you doing here?!"
"Please, finish introductions first."
At prodding from Sixteen, Barret reluctantly spat out, "Barret Wallace, Avalanche leader.
At once the people in suits drew their guns; in response the people with Barret did the same. All at once, each person was slammed against the floor.
"I said, finish introductions."
While his guests could not see his face, they would have likely believed that he was dead, with how the coldness in his eyes accumulated.
"Can you let them up please?" The flower girl asked in such a way that Sixteen wondered if she was even slightly frightened of his actions. As if answering him she replied, "the Planet doesn't dislike you, though it does find you a bit odd."
Comprehension grasped Sixteen as he realized what the girl was. Nodding his head, the intense pressure on the people around lifted.
Getting up, the next person that began speaking was the girl that was with Barret. "Names Jesse, this here is Biggs and Wedge. We're Avalanche too.
Next up when the small child known as Marlene. "I'm Marlene, and don't hurt my daddy again!"
Attempting to put the child behind her, the bar girl gave her own introduction. "Tifa Lockhart, member of Avalanche and bartender of the Seventh Heaven bar."
Nodding at that, Sixteen nodded towards to suitted group, to which the man with robots have moved closer to.
"Rufus Shinra, heir to the Shinra corporation."
At this Avalanche began to move but was backed down after a glare was shot their way.
"Tseng, leader of the Turks"
"Names Reno yo!"
"Rude."
"Elena, I'm new here so please take care of me!"
To this Reno laughed while Tseng sighed. "Elena, say that to us after we're not near our enemies."
To this Elena blushed and hid her face.
"R- Reeve Tuesti, head of Urban Development."
With a nod at that, Sixteen looked towards the unaffiliated people.
Taking a step forward, the flower girl began. "Aerith Gainsborough, flower girl."
Next up, the canine creature went. "I don't deserve my old name. For now call me what Hojo calls me, Red XIII."
Next up was the engineer, "Names Cid Highwind, this here's my idiot assistant Shera."
His assistant spluttered out a weak nice to meet you before stepping back.
The final person stepped up. "I'm the great ninja Yuffie! Now, give me your materia!"
Sixteen sidestepped Yuffie's grab before addressing everyone. "Ok then, introductions are done. Now, you were wondering why we are here, right?"
At this several people nodded.
"Well you see, the answer's real simple."
Spinning around in a circle, the stark white of the room changed into that of a sprawling movie theater.
"We are going to be watching the past of your world!"
They looked at him like he was an idiot as he went on. "Well it's more the recent past, 6 years is very recent in comparison to some stuff, but it's still important."
At the mention of six years Tseng freezes, knowing of what began six years ago. The others though are ignorant as to the significance of 6 years other than Aerith, for that is when she met her first boyfriend.
"Well then take your places everyone, and let's begin".

So, as a Watching the series, there will be summaries so it doesn't violate guidelines
I have no experience writing such a fic before so, you know, don't expect too much.
I plan to get through Crisis Core, eventually. It will take some time. Much like if you look at my Star Wars series I update low. Though it should be easier to write this since I don't need to think of stuff the change the universe with, yet.
(4/7/2019) well, turns out I'm slow with this as well, mostly changing stuff I've already done rather than continue on. Will hopefully make chapter 2 (part 3) before the end of April. Also just realized I never finished/ posted chapter 1, that'll be posted with this minor revision. Also edited some stuff I did for Sixteen's backstory, because it didn't make sense with what I had planned.
I was planning on having Kunsel be here as well, but I planned on him being a drunkard now. Doesn't really work for me right now in the fic.
Reason why I made this fanfic:
I know I am slow with my other one, but I've been into the whole 'reading/watching' fan fiction series now and there is a lack of such for Final Fantasy VII, not to mention Crisis Core. I will not be going into Before Crisis as I did not play it, though I may reference it from time to time for reactions. Also some parts will be different, such as Kunsel giving tutorials, that will be him joking around or something, we'll see
Read, like, review, critique,
Please help or beta.
Co writer or ask for me to co write would be awesome
Next up: Zack showing off on a train and why you don't fight Sephiroth or Sephiroth clones with easily breakable blades.
