Hello~! thanks for checking this out even if it's just a prologue, this is set at the end of Advent children so I am not sure if i should put it to movies or games since it's AFTER that whole thing. so for now i'll put it to the game section, then again it will bleed into DoC.

This is a yaoi. And so far I'm not sure what the pairing will be. I'm entertaining the thought of OcxVincent, but i'm...not sure what other pairings to put.

I will warn you now, i don't like CloudxTifa, i liked it when Cloud was with Aerith...I thought they were cute together. And honest to god i though Tifa and Barrett were married for the longest time, so i can't see tifa with anyone besides him. so those who are really big fans of Cloud and tifa...well...Sorry...i guess. well that i don't really...she's not one of my favorite characters, so there will be SOME bashing of her. But also along with Aerith to even it out, i don't hate them but it's for the story. so please, for the love of GOD don't start sending me hate mail or flaming me because i WARNED YOU! (Honestly i like Yuffie the best.)

And i know it may be confusing at some point, but theres a reason for that.

so without further ado, i hope you enjoy the story.

Prologue: over the year's

My dear boy. My sweet sweet boy.

That voice was the first thing I was aware of when I regained conscious, my eyes wouldn't open up so I assumed something was keeping them shut. Honestly I was wondering where I was, the last thing I had remembered was going inside of my room located in the 1st class SOLDIER floor at shinra HQ. I had just come back from a mission in Wutai with my step brother, who was still a 2nd class but was well on his way to 1st, looking for my fellow 1st class SOLDIER. Genesis. He had went missing for a while now when all he was doing was a scouting mission. Yet there was something strange about my room when I entered, I could feel something or someone was in there that shouldn't be, but before I could grab my twin swords, Balmung and Titania, something was injected into me via neck. It didn't take effect right away so I was able to unsheathe my swords and cut down the man behind me before another came out and attacked. And when I was able to defeat that one another came out, and another and another, one after one came once they were all cut down. And each one injected me with something that made my mind fuzzy and body start to go numb. I know I took out at least 20 men before I fell over and blacked out.

Now then, where am I? I thought while trying to move only to have nothing respond. But I felt like I was in water, which would explain the floating sensation, and that I was...naked. That's slightly disturbing. There's also something shoved down my throat, and I'm guessing since I'm in water that whatever it is is suppose to keep me either breathing or fed. Maybe both.

Kaworu.

Ah, that voice. Mother? But I didn't get an answer, she sounded tired and faint. I tried to contact her a few more times, but nothing happened. I hadn't heard mother's voice since I was a child, since before I was adopted into a nice family. But even so, I knew that was mother.

"...-ed..."

The muffled voices of two people were coming closer to wherever I was at.

"...-tor!...ple-...-jo!"

"Stop your whining!"

Both male, the first sounded younger then the second, and more frightened of something. The second sounded annoying.

"But what if the Director- or Worse! The president of shinra finds out about this?!" the first said, panicking about about something that they were doing. Obviously something not allowed, and seeing as he's that scared they must be apart of shinra. A scoff was heard in response.

"Nonsense." the second said as footsteps came closer towards me. "No one will ever find out about this, unless you intend to say anything about it." he said with warning in his voice towards the other, there was a whimper in response. "Good. And even if it is found out somehow, then I'm sure they will understand that it was for the good of my research."

"B-But Professor Hojo, you didn't just take some cadet that no one will notice going missing, but one of Shinras four 1st class SOLDIER's! And with Genesis already MIA-"

"Your point?" the other cut off coldly. Professor Hojo, Sephiroth told me about him. He told me to never go near him or catch his attention. "What difference does it make that one mere SOLDIER is missing. It is far more important and beneficial to study this one." feet moving then something touching glass was heard, I must me in a tank. "Imbeciles! I told them not to harm the subject! I should have known that they were too idiotic to do even the simplest of tasks." he grumbled.

"P-Professor?"

"Yes? What is it?" Hojo asked irritated.

"What exactly...is so special about this particular SOLDIER?"

"He is a child from Jenova!" Hojo said with pure glee in his voice.

"A child of-? I thought you and Doctor Lucrezia only made Sephiroth?"

"I did." he answered eagerly, emphasizing the 'I', making me wonder if this was a child or a grown man. "This one-" I could feel him pointing at me through the glass, "-was actually given birth from it! It appears that the calamity was already with a child when it came to Gaia all those thousands of years ago. Only a brainless buffoon would not take the chance to study it! To see how it's child reacts and thinks outside of that retched place that was contaminating it!"

"What?" the other said in disbelief, "B-But if thats true...then how old is he?"

"16."

"What? Then how-?"

"I theorized a few possibility's." he interrupted again without a care, "First, the pregnant time is much much longer then that of a humans, and may take hundreds of years for the fetus to take shape and grow. But then it should have been detected on her vital signs that another life was inside of her. Two, that the calamity herself did something to keep the fact that she was carrying the child in her hidden once captured, therefore not showing any signs of the child. And thirdly, that it shouldn't have taken so long for the fetus to develop, thus resulting in it to instinctively stall the birth as long as possible to hide it. It is said that mothers of any species will do most anything to keep it's child from harms way, be it conscious of it doing so or not." Hojo mused. Did mother try to stall my birth so I wouldn't be taken from her? I must have been noticed and taken away anyway. That would explain why I have only ever heard her and never seen her, she always did sounded so happy when talking to me, yet so distraught at the same time. "Tch, such incompetent fools couldn't even figure out the thing was pregnant." he huffed out in annoyance, then went back to his giddy tone. "But, I must say I'm thankful for that, after all if they did then I wouldn't have been able to capture it and study it myself!" then a sigh, "But I must be on my way back to Shinra before they get suspicious about where I went. Which is why you will be staying here to keep an eye on him." he said while his steps were turned away from my direction.

"M-Me?"

"Yes you!" Hojo snapped back irritated, "Should anything happen to Project Rebirth while I am away, then it will be you as my next experiment!" he threatened

Then their footsteps started to walk away with the younger asking Hojo question's about me and mother. Now I was alone with my thoughts.

I'm not sure, but I think it's been about a month or so since I first woke up in this tank. And during that time I thought about Genesis, Angeal, Sephiroth and Zack. Was Genesis alright? Was he found? Is Zack worried about me? Did anyone even notice me missing? They probably did seeing as I was 1st class. I wonder if Sephiroth is the one leading the search, or does shinra even care? But I know that there all alright, it's just like with mother, for some odd reason Genesis and Angeal give out the aura that Sephiroth does, but less noticeable. And so far they all feel fine, I know Zack's fine. So long as Angeal is alive then he'll make sure that nothing happens to him.

Mother has talked to me a few times, telling me about her plans to take over the planet and make all the humans suffer. She kept telling me that once she was out that she would come for me, and that we would never be apart again. It sounded nice, but I wouldn't destroy the planet like mother wanted. If I did then my friends would all die, and even when mother said she would spare them I knew that they would go against her and most likely die in the process. So, mother has been trying to convince me to join her in destroying this wretched planet. But as long as Zack and my friends are here, then I would hold off on joining mother.

Hojo has came to check up on me once, he talked about how he was fascinated with Sephiroth's actions of late since my disappearance. He said it must because of his Jenova cell's and that we must connected or something like that. During that time he started to pump something into my system, it was uncomfortable and felt disgusting to be in my system. Hojo would muttered to himself, the words 'fascinating', 'interesting', and 'excellent' was heard constantly as the sound of him writing on paper was heard. The click of a camera was often since the assistant had to keep a record of me every day, I think something was happening to my body since it felt like my veins were on fire sometimes. Whatever they put in me did not agree with my body and seemed like it was trying to purge me, but failed to do so.

It was during one of the day's where the assistant and Hojo were here but not near me that I was tying to reach out to mother. She has been quiet lately and I don't know why, could she have been tired and decided to rest for a while. I wouldn't be surprised, she told me that she's been locked inside of a tank for a long time now, with scientists taking her cell's constantly, so I could understand why she was tired. But, and I know this sounds childish and all, but I wanted to talk to her, to hear her voice in this lonely tank with nothing to do.

Can you heard me? I questioned with a small mental sigh, maybe I should just stop. Either mother is tired or she doesn't want to talk to me.

Yes.

I froze at that. A male voice answered me, It wasn't mother who answered, someone else did. Someone I didn't know. It was a deep velvety voice, calm and distant, obviously someone older than myself. Which pegged the question: I was able to talk to someone besides mother?

...who is this? I questioned warily. You are not mother. I stated and waited for a response. A chuckle, a rich chuckle answered me.

No, I am not this mother of yours. For I am not female. He answered with a hint of amusement?

I know that by the sound of your voice, I retorted. I asked who you are.

Isn't it polite to give your name first before you ask for anothers. If my eyes were opened and if he was here I would have narrowed them at him. But he was right, my adopted mother did say you should introduce yourself first. So with a mental huff I told him my name. hm. He hummed, Vincent Valentine. He greeted...I think he greeted.

Hn. Tell me Vincent, how is it that you can communicate with me when I have never met you before? I inquired.

That is what I would like to know. He answered back with an intrigued tone. After that we chatted constantly about anything to relieve the boredom we both felt. I found that I was near a village, the name I did not know, thanks to Vincent's help when I told him I felt a very small cluster of lives near me. We were still trying to figure out where exactly I was, he theorized that maybe I was near Nibelhime since I was able to speak with him. It was nice to at least have an indicator as to where I was.

Vincent, according to him, use to just sleep whenever he woke up like I did, but now we both had a reason to stay up. I learned that Vincent was inside of a coffin by choice, but someone had locked it while he slept so he couldn't get out anymore without hurting himself in the process. I told him about how I was stuck in a tank somewhere I didn't know specifically and couldn't move. After some time, who knows how long it's been, I told him about me being in SOLDIER and in turn he told me about how he use to be a Turk. We both kept a secret from the other, we both knew we did, but didn't pry about it in respect to the other. I would tell him about mother when I felt like it, and he would tell me about his secret when he did.

Now that Vincent has come into my life, I had both mother and him to talk to when I was awake. And I was glad for it, I still missed Zack and my friends and wondered what they were doing, but at least I had someone to talk to. It made the treatments less painful since the amount of what they pumped into me seemed to increase every time Hojo came by. At one point Hojo had to pump something different that felt like mother and brother into me for a time before going back to the usual.

Today I felt someone disappear, worried about who it was- whatever Hojo was giving me was letting me sense others, like Zack, who doesn't feel like mother at all- I went and checked everyone I could and found that Angeal was gone. Why is Angeal's presence fading? I wondered. thinking on it, only one possibility as to why Angeal was fading came to mind and stuck there like a thorn in my side. At the thought I felt and heard my heart picking up, the monitor outside of my tank was going frantic as a small alarm started to go off. NO! Angeal can't be-?! I thought in panic as I tried to connect to him again. But nothing happened, so I started to struggle to get my body to move. If something happened to Angeal, then what about Zack?

Whats wrong? Vincent asked as I heard the assistant run into the room cursing. But I didn't care nor pay attention as I could feel my body starting to respond, my veins started to burn again with something pulsating through me. Vincent kept trying to calm me down as I told him about not being able to feel Angeal. Then his aura completely disappeared.

Angeal...died...?

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!"

Zack.

"Professor Hojo! Something is happening!"

Zack's in pain!

"What in the world?"

Zack!

"What happened? What did you do to my experiment?!" Hojo asked in fury at the assistant.

"N-Nothing! His heart rate just spiked out of nowhere!" the other defended himself. A grunt.

"Regulate his heart!" Hojo yelled, "what could have brought this on?" he mumbled. Then I felt my body going numb again, sleep was puling at my conscious as I fought to stay awake. Zack was in pain, I had to go and find Zack. Angeal is going to the life stream, and Zack's is crying. Then before I knew it, I blacked out into sleep.

Mother woke me up and was ecstatic today, I didn't know why, but she told me to wait for a bit. And when I did I understood why mother was so happy, Brother was coming, I could feel him getting closer along with Zack and...another presence. But it didn't matter, I didn't care about whoever that extra was, Zack and brother were coming! Mother kept saying that we were going to be together again, with brothers help, he and Zack were closing in on where mother was being held. It wasn't until later that I also felt Genesis near, where brother and Zack were at. He felt...different since last I checked. Like he was dying.

Mother? What is happening to brother? I asked when Sephiroth's aura turned chaotic and fearful, while Genesis's turned to triumph before to disappointment once Sephiroth's calmed down slightly.

My child, I must speak to your brother for a moment. He is confused and the humans have lead him astray. Mother told me, I wondered what she meant by that, but mother knows best. So I waited, and as I did I decided to speak to Vincent. Mother didn't come back to talk to me for a while, and during that time I felt brother become even closer to where I was at. The assistant was gone, I don't know why but I only assumed that Hojo needed him for something.

For day's brother stayed in the same area, pacing around for a bit before heading to a corner of the area to do something before pacing again. Zack had come once or twice, distressed and seemed to try and talk to Sephiroth, but always left alone and worried. Vincent had gone back to sleep for a while, so I decided to ask mother what brother was doing.

Learning the truth. She said. I was confused, what did she mean by that? The humans deceived him, told him lie's about his heritage. And once he knows everything, then he will set me free before we come for you. She explained, it made sense. Mother should be freed first, she has suffered the most. I can wait for as long as I need to.

And thats what I did, seeing as I couldn't do anything else. Then finally the day came where brother left the room, he wasn't himself and had this determined sense about him. It wasn't long after that the lives in the village I had gotten use to feeling started to disappear one by one.

Mother, is Sephiroth eliminating the villagers?

Yes, they have been keeping us apart. They knew and kept me from you, my precious little boy.

Oh, then I have no problem with that. They kept me from mother, so why should I care if they were being picked off by Sephiroth. I got bored with feeling brother end lives after a bit, so I decided to go to sleep.

When I woke up I felt two people near. One I recognized as Zack, the other was the one that came with Sephiroth and Zack. Mother was quiet, and I assumed that Sephiroth wasn't able to get to me seeing as I could still feel myself floating in the tank. I thought I had heard mother weep when I was asleep, and I wanted to ask if she was crying, but she never answered. In fact I couldn't really feel her anymore.

A week after Zack and the other had come, Hojo came around again and decided to move me to a different location. The president found out about Hojo's experimentation on me, but wanted it kept secret. I was to be moved into one of shinra's private lab's so the public or anyone else didn't find out and question shinra's motives, they were moving mother as well, but somewhere away from my person.

Vincent, this will be the last you hear of me. I told him when I felt him wake up, he seemed confused about what I said.

What do you mean?

I am being moved somewhere. I don't know where, but it seems I will not be able to speak to you again. The tank was draining as voices- multiple voices- came into the room where I was at. One voice in particular I remember, one that I've heard so many times before and honestly I should have laughed when I heard him.

"So, this is what happened to you...Kaworu." I was able to open my eyes when I felt myself being lifted up. After blinking away the blurryness i was able to see the man I considered a friend for a long time since I joined SOLDIER, the black hair tied into a low tight ponytail, the sharp brown eyes, the dot in the middle of his forehead.

"...T...seng..." I was able to rasp out quietly. He had guilt cross his eyes before they hardened back into that Turk way he was suppose to show. I've had my eyes closed for so long that everything was bright, and it hurt so much. But I wanted to see what was around me, looking past his shoulder I was able to see other Turk's, but I didn't know any of them. Except for the female with red/orange wavy hair. The short stature compared to the other Turk's in the room gave her away.

"Cissnei," Tseng said to her as she came over. "Make sure the area is secure as the others ready the tank." she gave a small salute, glanced at me, then headed out just as I felt something pierce my neck. "Kaworu, don't make this harder then it needs to be." he said when I started to struggle, I knew it was his job, but I didn't want to leave with Hojo. I wanted to stay here where Zack was, I wanted to be near mother, I didn't want to have to go back into a tank for goddess knows how long.

"...N...No..." I huffed out while slightly glaring at Tseng as he carried me towards my next prison. "Mother...I won't...leave her..." he frowned at that, like he's heard something similar to this somewhere. But I ignored it, the injection was working fast and making me numb again.

Kaworu, it's been a pleasure to speak with you. Vincent said, he sounded sad. understandable since i was the only person he talked to for a long time. i felt the same, he was my only companion for a very long time now.

Maybe I'll see what you look like someday...we should meet face to face. I suggested hopefully. I heard him chuckle, it was a sad type of chuckling, guess we both knew that us meeting was a very slim chance. with him being locked in the coffin, and me in a tank being experimented on by Shinra and Hojo. I started to feel lonely already.

Hm. I would like to meet you as well, until then my friend. Be safe. He said before i felt him doze off back into slumber. I think he wasn't good with farewells.

I chuckled at that, making Tseng look at me curiously, "...you...as well...Vincent...Valen..tine..." Tseng stumbled in his steps when I said that. I couldn't see the look on his face since I slipped out of conscious.

I don't know how long I was asleep this time, but I felt mother come near me sometimes only to be distant the next moment. Genesis disappeared, then Zack did and it tore my heart to pieces. At some point I felt someone that seemed like brother, but I knew whoever it was wasn't. I was put under a deep sleep, it was probably discovered that something happens to brother everytime he is near me when i am awake. But even if they did that, I could still sense what was going on while i slept. At the moment Sephiroth was going from one place to the next, the one that felt like brother would move as well with a group of other life signatures. He became depressed when one of the companion's life was ended by Sephiroth, I don't understand why he became angry with brother. Whoever this was, was obviously a brother of mine that I did not know of, so he shouldn't be angry with Sephiroth. Family should not try and kill family.

Then, one day when my veins were burning again and the ground was shaking, Sephiroth disappeared.

It was around the time where I felt three signatures that felt like Sephiroth appear from nowhere, who came close to me at one point above wherever i was being held this time, that mother spoke to me again.

Kaworu, my sweet little kaworu. It is time for you to awaken.

Mother.

Your brothers are in danger. I need them for us to be together once and for all, you must stop your traitorous brother who will slay them, from the cetra who will try and corrupt them with her lies, and from this wretched planet from taking them to a place where we cannot be.

Yes, mother. I'll save our family from the planet.
