Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Cloud's Perspective)

ATTENTION: This is not the real Advent Children. If this happens to be the real story line for Advent Children, this is just a coincidence.

CHAPTER 1

Hired by AVALANCHE as a mercenary, I helped blow up two of the Mako Reactors that littered the planet. These Mako Reactors seized energy from the Star, which will later on be converted to Mako energy. President Shinra insisted that Mako energy would bring eternal happiness to everyone. By gathering so much energy from the Star, the Star could not be able to produce more energy, which meant it was dying. AVALANCHE knew this was going to happen. The only way the Star can keep living is if we destroy the Mako Reactors.

Destroying the Mako Reactors was no the only journey I took. After my last encounter with Sephiroth, I had lost most of my memory. What was my lost past? What is the meaning of my existence? During my quest to destroy the Mako Reactors, I begun to gain more of my memory back.

I hear my phone ringing. It must be important. I stopped and so did the group of people I was with. As I answer the phone, a familiar voice yells my name loudly into the receiver.

"Cloud!" Barrett yells in astonishment.

"What's happened?" I respond.

"You won't believe this."

"What?"

"We found President Shinra murdered in his office and Jenova has been kidnapped!"

"Okay. We'll be there soon."

Barrett hangs up. I reported the news to the rest of the group. They too couldn't believe it. As soon as we were done with the Mako Reactor, we called in for helicopters. I waited for the arrival of the helicopters, which came in twelve minutes.

"Mr. Strife?" asked an AVALANCHE member.

I turn around and I see the AVALANCHE member offering me a ride on the helicopter.

"Not today." I answered.

"We'll see you soon," said the AVALANCHE member.

I watch as the two helicopters rise into the air and departed. I walk past the fallen pieces of metal scraps from the Mako Reactors and hopped onto my new motorcycle, Fenrir.

It's off to Midgar I go.
