NOTE: After playing and finishing a Littlest Pet Shop rename version of Final Fantasy VII, I decided to do an AU parody story of the game with the LPS characters in the shoes of the FF7 characters. I'll admit, it's kinda hard to meld the personalities together but I think I matched the characters pretty well. I still gotta find a role for Hojo, Zack, Palmer, Jenova and a few others. Not sure if I should cast the Biskitt Twins as two Rufuses or as Heideggar and Scarlet (Fisher Biskit is obviously President Shinra). A few OCs will be thrown in here and there but mostly for minor characters and NPCs. Some parts are consistent with the FF7 script while other parts I made up on the fly to be more true to the LPS characters' personalities. As you know from the summary description, I decided to spoil that early on Shahrukh will be cast as the main villain, Sephiroth. He'll be called Shahrukoth and I do NOT regret that, no matter how cheesy it is. Also, mako reactors are replaced by boring old pollution factories and Materia grows on trees and is harvested. Feel free to read and review. Enjoy!

Somewhere, in the slums of Downtown City, a pink monkey was walking with a basket of flowers in her hand. She gazed at the sights of the dark, dreary place but she knew it was a place where she could defend herself as she was no stranger to the streets. Pets of all sorts zoomed past her on bikes and the camera panned out to see an aerial view of Downtown City and a large logo with a meteor on it appeared on the screen saying "Littlest Pet Fantasy VII."

The camera zoomed down to a train station where a train was pulling up to a station next to a factory. An orange hedgehog and green gecko along with a trio of hamsters hopped off the train. The gecko motioned to the hedgehog, "Come on, newcomer. We got a mission to complete."

The gecko and hamsters dashed off as the hedgehog rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah. I gotcha."

As the hedgehog dashed down the train platform after the gecko, suddenly a pair of German Shepherds in police uniform chased after him. Turning around, the orange hedgehog plucked an abnormally large quill from his back and diced the two dogs to ribbons. Kneeling down, the hedgehog pocketed two potions and then dashed after the gecko.

When he finally caught up to them, the hamsters were picking a lock on the door to the factory while the gecko supervised them, "It's about time you got here!"

"Sorry, a couple dogs wanted to make kibble out of me back there." The orange hedgehog replied.

"What's your name, by the way?" The gecko asked.

The hedgehog smiled, "Russell Fergustrife, and you are?"

"Vinnie Wallio." The gecko replied, shaking Russell's paw with his gun-arm.

Russell sighed, "Let's just get this mission over with before the Biskits catch us."

The female of the three hamsters finished opening the door and they all dashed in. As they were running, Russell turned to Vinnie and asked him a question, "So, what are the hamsters' names?"

Vinnie rubbed him chin, "Uhhhh...the tough looking one is Brad, the fat one is Walt and the girl one is Jessica. I...uh think."

Russell raised an eyebrow, "You think?"

Vinnie shrugged, "Well, that or their names are Biggs, Wedge and Jessie."

Russell facepalmed and was about to make a sarcastic remark when another pair of police dogs dashed around the corner towards the hedgehog and reptile. A random battle occured and Russell quickly diced up one of the dogs with his quill-sword while Vinnie shot the other one up with his gun-arm. The hedgehog and gecko did a victory dance and collected some money from the battle.

They quickly dashed into a room with a T-shaped bridge and Walt headed straight, "I'll cover the emergency exit, guys. Good luck on the mission!"

Russell, Vinnie, Jessica and Brad took a turn on the bridge and headed straight to the factory. Once they got in, Vinnie turned to Russell, "This your first time in a factory?"

Russell shook his head, "No, I used to work for Largest Ever Pet Shop, you know."

"Every day, the factories pollute the air and make the pets and people of Downtown City sick." Vinnie explained.

Russell rolled his eyes, "Please, Vinnie. All I want to do is get the job done, get my pay and rest in a clean, non-messy bed."

The gecko crossed his arms snd scowled at the orange hedgehog, "That's it, your coming with ME from here on out."

Brad pressed a button and a door opened, "Code deciphered."

Russell and Vinnie ran through the door and Jessica pressed another button to open another door, "Code deciphered."

The hedgehog and gecko dashed through the door and made their way into an elevator. Russell pressed down and the elevator started descending. Vinnie turned and looked at Russell, "Russell, you realize all this pollution the Biskitts are pumping out is bad for the...uh...what's the word I'm looking for?"

Russell blinked, "Environment?"

Vinnie nodded, "Yeah, uh...that's the word."

Russell groaned a little, "Like I said before, let's get this job done before the Biskits and Monban catches us."

Vinnie sighed, "You know, you really should enjoy nature more."

The elevator stopped and opened up and instantly, Russell and Vinnie were greeted by a couple men with steel masks who wore scuba suits and had cannons on their hands, "HALT RIGHT THERE!"

"Grunts..." Russell grumbled, drawing his quill sword and charging and slashing one. The other grunt began firing lasers at Russell with his cannon but the hedgehog blocked the attack with his quill sword.

Vinnie ducked between the other grunt's legs and shot him in the butt with his gun arm, causing the diver-esq man to groan and fall face first on the ground. Vinnie chuckled a bit, "Hahaha. I guess I busted a cap in your"

Vinnie's sentence was cut short by a floating jellyfish creature, a Mono Drive ramming the back of the gecko's head. Russell finished slashing the grunt and went after the Mono Drive, slicing the creature in two with his quill. Russell picked the gecko up, "You all right, Vinnie?"

"Yes, grandma, I'd love to eat some gingerbread cookies for Halloween." Vinnie mumbled woozily. The hedgehog gave the gecko one of the potions he took off the downed police dogs and Vinnie snapped out of it and they descended down a couple flights of stairs and into another room.

Russell and Vinnie jumped over a gap and climbed down a ladder, coming face to face with Jessica. Vinnie smiled at the hamster, "Jessica, did you short out the beep beep sound thingies?"

Jessica smiled and nodded, "Of course I did, Vinnie. By the way, they're called alarms."

"Oh...uh...I knew that." Vinnie replied dumbly.

"Sure you did." Russell replied sarcastically as he rolled his yellow-green eyes.

"I'll wait for you up here if you need me." Jessica replied, "Do you have the bomb ready?"

"Course I do." Vinnie replied as he pulled a device out of the vest he was wearing and ran his fingers over the detonation button.

Russell let out a girly scream, "Be careful, that's a BOMB!"

Vinnie chuckled a bit, "Just messin with ya, Russy-boy!"

"Russy-boy? RUSSY-BOY!?" Russell growled, "What kind of a nickname is THAT?"

"A funny one." Vinnie replied as he added a stupid laugh.

Russell sighed, "I'm surprised YOU'RE the one in charge here, let's just get on with this mission."

"Okay." Vinnie replied. The two then climbed down another ladder and onto a pipe which they crossed and climbed down another ladder. Russell and Vinnie turned and noticed a save point and the gecko spoke up, "Uhhh...what is that question mark thingy? Can I use it to practice dance steps?"

"That, Vinnie, is a save point." Russell explained, "We use it to save our game so we don't have to go through all that riff raff again."

"Uhh...okay...um...can I still use it to practice dance steps?" Vinnie asked.

Russell facepalmed in response, "Let's just save our game."

After saving the game, Russell and Vinnie level grinded a bit and got a bunch of cash from battles. Healing up and saving again, they walked across the bridge only to be stopped by a large yellow machine with guns for arms. Vinnie cowered behind Russell, "What on Earth is THAT?"

"A Sweeper." Russell replied, drawing his quill sword.

Vinnie raised an eyebrow, "But...it doesn't look like a vacuum cleaner!"

"Not THAT kind of sweeper, Vinnie!" Russell replied as he shoved his quill into one of the Sweeper's guns, causing it to jam.

The Sweeper's gun hand exploded as Vinnie riddled the robot with bullets from his own gun hand. With one final slash from Russell's quill, the machine exploded into a mass of scrap metal.

Without a word, the two dashed across the rest ofthe bridge and Russell spotted a green marble laying in the middle of the bridge, "Well, what do ya know? A Restore Materia! This one's going in the bag."

Vinnie blinked, "What's Materia?"

"You still have a lot to learn, my gecko friend." The hedgehog chuckled as he stored the Materia in his bag.

Vinnie simply shrugged as Russell approached the factory core with the bomb in his paw. The gecko spoke up, "I'm gonna stay here and watch just so you don't pull anything funny."

Russell rolled his eyes and suddenly an alarm began to sound when he placed the bomb on the core. The hegehog turned and faced Vinnie, "It's coming!"

"What?" Vinnie asked.

Russell pointed to the ceiling, "THAT THING!"

Vinnie looked up and suddenly, a giant robot scorpion landed in front of them. Russell drew his quill and Vinnie readied his gun arm. The scorpion began to spray the two with harmless blasts of air and Vinnie giggled, "Hey, that tickles!"

"Uh...Vinnie, I don't think he's tickling us. He's targeting us!" Russell replied as he dashed up to the scorpion robot and slashed it's legs.

Vinnie blinked stupidly, "Uhhh...well in that case, it's gunnin' time!"

Vinnie aimed his gun arm and started shooting at the scorpion and it turned around and thrust its tail at Vinnie, causing his gun arm to jam, "Uhhh...Russell, it's tail is stuck in my arm!"

Russell facepalmed and grabbed onto Vinnie, "All right, all right. I'll pull you loose." The hedgehog yanked Vinnie so hard that the gecko's gun arm came off, "HEY! GIMME BACK MY ARM!"

Suddenly, the scorpion raised it's tail in a threatening manner above it's head and Russell turned to Vinnie, "Vinnie, be careful! If you attack while its tail is up-"

"Got it!" Vinnie shouted as he dashed at the Guard Scorpion, pummelling it with a series of punches. Instantly, a blue laser shot out of the tail and fried Vinnie and Russell.

"YOU DIDN'T LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCE, YOU IDIOT!" Russell screamed, his limit gauge reaching its max, "It's a good thing I hit my Limit Break. Time to finish this!"

And with that, Russell used his Braver attack, jumping up into the air and coming down on the robot scorpion, effectively cleaving it in two. Vinnie looked surprised, "Wow! That was...AWESOME! DOITAGAIN DOITAGAIN DOITAGAIN!"

Russell blinked, "First I gotta wait for my limit gauge to fill up again. I gotta get slapped around a little first."

Vinnie turned his attention to a new gun arm on the ground, "Oh, cool! A replacement! It's just like when I lose my tail!" The gecko pointed his new gun arm at Russell.

Russell's eyes widened in shock, "Uh...Vinnie, please put that away. Are you TRYING to shoot me just so you can see me use my limit break again? It doesn't work that way."

Vinnie chuckled a bit, "Aw, come on Russy-boy. Just messin with ya."

Suddenly, an electronic voice boomed through the factory, "10 minutes to detonation."

Russell turned to Vinnie, "We gotta get out of here!"

And with that, the hedgehog and gecko climbed up the latters to the next room. Russell noticed that Jessica got her leg stuck and pulled her free and the three climbed up the ladder and backtracked to the next room. As they ran up the stairs to the elevator, they were chased by more scuba diver-esq grunts. Vinnie turned around and started shooting at them but Russell yanked the lizard away, "We don't have time for that, this place is gonna blow!"

And with that, the three entered the elevator and Jessica pressed the up switch. When it reached the top they all dashed out of the elevator and into the main room. Jessica and Brad were quick to open the doors and the four of them made a mad dash for the bridge. Making a right, they took cover with Walt and went into an underground shelter and with that, the factory exploded into a massive ball of fire.

As they were underground, Brad spoke up, "That should make the air a little cleaner."

"Yeah." Vinnie nodded in agreement. And with that they all dashed out of the shelter and into the streets of Downtown City.

Suddenly, the shelter exploded and flames were coming from it. The hedgehog, gecko and 3 hamsters watched the fire burn a big and then Vinnie spoke up, "All right, everyone split up and meet up at Littlest Pet Shop."

"But what about?" Russell started but was cut off by Vinnie, "If it's about your pay, save it for later."

And with that, they all dashed off except for Russell. As the hedgehog walked the streets, he noticed a pink monkey holding a basket a flowers. The monkey hopped up to him and held out a flower, "Hi, there! Wanna buy a flower? They're only one buck and I need it for art supplies!"

Russell sighed and shrugged, "Oh, all right. I guess." The hedgehog handed over the dollar and the pink monkey gave him a flower, "Here ya go!"

And with that, Russell put the flower in his bag and the monkey walked off. He turned his attention past the alley and walked his way onto a main street. Suddenly, he was approached by a police dog, "Hey, you!"

The hedgehog drew his sword and jumped back as the two dogs readied their guns, "Look, I don't have time for this."

Suddenly, more police dogs began to surround the hedgehog, "GRAB HIM!"

Russell looked around and saw a train passing under the street bridge he was on. Curling up into a ball, Russell rolled off the street and onto the speeding train.

Meanwhile, Vinnie and the hamsters were in the train talking about Russell. Jessica was speaking, "Vinnie...do you think Russell will stay with us to the end?"

Vinnie shrugged, "How am I supposed to know? I'm not a psychic!"

Walt whimpered a bit, "Hey, Vinnie, when are we getting our pay?"

Vinnie sighed, "When I give up dancing."

"And when is that?" Walt asked.

"NEVER!" Vinnie replied and then Walt started to sob a little. The gecko frowned, "Awww...come on, I was only playing with ya!"

Suddenly, Russell opened the door and jumped in the train, much to everyone's surprise. Brushing himself off, the hedgehog chuckled a bit, "I...guess I kinda got lost."

Vinnie crossed his arms, "Lost? LOST!? That does it, I am SO docking your paycheck, hot shot!"

Russell sighed as Vinnie, Walt and Brad moved into the main train. Jessica walked up to Russell and helped clean some dirt off his face with a rag, "Oh, Russell, your dirty."

Russell blinked and stared at the pitch black rag, "So...that dirt was on my face?"

Jessica nodded, "Well, you just escaped a bomb blast, didn't you?"

Russell whimpered a little bit and curled up in a fetal position, "So...many...germs...so...many...germs."

Jessica handed the traumatized hedgehog a bottle of hand sanitizer, "This should help you out."

Instantly, Russell dumped the whole bottle all over his body and began rubbing it. Jessica smiled, "Feel better now, Russell?"

Russell smiled, "Yeah. Thanks, Jessica..."

And with that, Russell and Jessica joined Vinnie and the others in the next train car.

A ferret looked around and noticed Vinnie and the three hamsters. He put a paw on his face and mumbled to himself, "Hoo boy...I hate it when they're on the train..."

Russell sat down next to Walt and the pudgy hamster turned to the orange hedgehog, "Someday, Vinnie will be famous and me, too. Russell, do you think I have a good future in store for me?"

Russell shrugged, "Don't really know. Depends on what you do in life, I guess."

Walt sighed, "All my life, I've felt like nothing but a sidekick. It would be nice to break out into the spotlight for once."

Jessica looked over to a monitor that was on the wall of the train, "Hey, Russell, I'd like you to check this out. I love this kind of stuff. Bombs, monitors, flashy stuff, you know."

Russell approached Jessica and the two stared at the monitor as the female hamster spoke, "The Downtown City rail system runs above a series of various neighborhoods in Downtown City. There's a total of 8 neighborhoods and factories and each factory provides each neighborhood with electricity. We'll be passing an ID check point soon, so it's probably best to act natural."

Suddenly, the alarm went off inside the train and stopped as soon as it started. Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, "Whew...that was close. You never knew what kind of creeps will come out when that alarm goes off."

There was an awkward silence between the hedgehog and hamster before Jessica spoke, "I know! How about I make a fake ID for you, Russell?"

Russell let out a loud yawn, "Sorry, I'm getting kind of sleepy."

Jessica smiled, "Yeah, the mission was pretty tiring, you deserve a break."

Russell looked over to Vinnie who was looking out the train window, "Look at all that polluted land..."

Russell peered out the window, "A floating city, pretty unsettling scenery..."

Vinnie raised an eyebrow, "Huh? I wasn't expecting something like that to come out of you. You're just full of surprises."

Russell turned to the gecko, "Why don't the pets and people move up in this city?"

Vinnie shrugged, "Not sure. Maybe they don't have enough money or don't mind living here no matter how polluted it gets."

"It's just like this train, it goes only where it's rails take it." Russell replied, stretching, "Wake me up when we get to the station, okay?"

And with that, the hedgehog fell asleep. Half an hour passed and Vinnie shook Russell awake and they all got off at the Sector 7 train station.

The hamsters and Russell gathered around Vinnie as he spoke up, "That blast was nothing. Next one is gonna be bigger. All right, let's go back to the Littlest Pet Shop."

Russell nodded and raced after Vinnie and the hamsters. On the way there, he saw a save point and decided to save his progress. After saving, Russell dashed towards the Littlest Pet Shop and saw Vinnie waiting outside, "Took your spiky butt long enough! Your childhood friend is waiting, don't let her flood the place with her tears."

Russell blinked in confusion and walked into the Pet Shop and went to the play area to see a purple panda in a tank top and miniskirt sitting at a desk, "Penny Linghart, is...is that you?"

"Long time, no see. It's been five years, hasn't it, Russell?" Penny smiled sweetly at the hedgehog.
