I had this idea for quite some time but I was really surprised to see the prologue go over 7000 words also I did notice that they weren't any Freezing an FFVII crossover so I just had to write this I hope you enjoy
"Poor little Sephiroth. You've actually met your mother. You've only been told her name, no? I don't know what images you've conjured up in your head was excavated from a two-thousand-year-old rock layer, She's a monster. Sephiroth I need your help my body is continuing to degrade. SOLDIER first class Sephiroth. Jenova Project G gave birth to Angeal and monsters like myself, Jenova project S" -Genesis explains the Jenova Projecct to Sephiroth inciting the Nibilheim incident
Gengo Aoi was baffled. This was a rare incident as he was a man who was always on guard and kept his opponents constantly guessing. Short of a few moments ago his latest grandchild who was to be named Kazuya had been about to be born. Due to the certain circumstances of the infant he was required to be moved to the womb of one of the legendary Pandora who would be able to carry him into infancy that almost five months ago. Now on the third of April he was to be born but for some reason something happened.
What it was even he Gengo Aoi the lead researcher on the Nova couldn't understand. He knew a tiny bit about inter-demsional travel but he didn't understand what had happened when his grandson was born. "I know its not in their style but did the Nova kidnap him?" he thought as he recalled the feeds he was getting. "no its not them they would have attacked if that was the case, but then the ramifications of not it not being the Nova are dangerous" the greying man clenched his fist in an unusual display of emotion. "My son Ryuuichi was there so he might have seen something that I did not" sighing Gengo Aoi thought "though how am I going to explain this to my daughter-in-law?"
Surveyinng the wreckage of the delivery room that his 'half-sister' Cassandra was in Ryuuichi Aoi stood in disbelief and shock. "what in the world happened? Was it the Nova?" he thought.
Clutching him was his wife Orie Aoi "what happened to Kazuya?" she asked.
Staring at the wreckage and at his mute half sister who seemed to have a tear trailing down her cheek Ryuuichi answered. "I think, I think that something has taken him away from us" he said remembering the bright flash of greenish light that seemed to envelope the room.
His already unstable and insecure wife began to wail on him as his father arrived. "I believe that something extremely confusing has occurred" Gengo stated.
"what do you mean confusing?" Orie wailed. "you don't know you've stolen my son from me" she yelled accusingly at her father-in-law.
Gengo seemed to be able to maintain calm and composed. "on the contrary I have not" he answered "you can say that I am to baffled at what has occurred."
"what do you mean" Ryuuichi asked as he comforted his distressed wife.
Gengo sighed "if you really want to know what happened is something similar to the readings when a Nova 'forms' in a better term is transported here" he answered.
"Ryuuichi was shocked "the Nova have taken him" he asked in disbelief.
"sadly no" his father answered "I said it was similar to the Nova not that it was them"
"then what does that mean exactly?" Ryuuichi asked the possibilities overwhelming his mind.
"it means that either that someone is on this earth here was able to replicate the form of transport the nova use and has used it to try to humble me or" he paused to get his son's and daughter-in-law's attention "or it could mean that something else out there has grabbed him though I don't know why" Gengo answered. Looking at the wreckage Gengo added "though I have a feeling that this might have been a just test run of it." he then gestured to the wreckage "this destruction seemed unintentional. The way it looks is as though a blind man is wandering around not knowing where he is or what he is doing for that matter. It is clumsy and imperfect."
"so that means, that" Ryuuichi began before Gengo cut him off.
"the ramifications of such a thing occurring are too great, imagine what the rest of the world would do or more importantly Chevalier?" Gengo asked.
"so what your saying is" Ryuuichi stated beginning to understand.
"yes apart from within these walls, tell no one and I mean no one about what really happened" Gengo Aoi answered with a stern look on his face that left no arguments.
Gaia, Midgar, Shinra, science division, Hojo's Lab
"it seems that the late professor Ghast's dimension theories and work was correct" an average sized man with round glasses and long hair tied back into a ponytail to prevent it from getting in his face stated surveying the results of his latest experiment. "Although it was quite messy just going with his base work itself was good enough to extract something" looking at the scans Hojo saw what had been delivered, "interesting though what was brought through was small, it has amazing readings, turning to one of his assistants he ordered "you go and bring me the results"
To the assistants credit he was able to answer Doctor Hojo without stuttering at the man's insanity and went inside the chamber to follow his instructions, he came back a minute or two later holding a bundle in his hands carefully and delicately "Doctor, I don't know whether you are going to be pleased with this" he stated.
"what do you mean?" Hojo snapped impatient while he could appreciate the delicacy that his attendant was holding the 'results' he did not fully understand why.
"well" his attendant began "I think its better if you saw it" he sighed before handing it to Hojo being very gentle and delicate about it.
Hojo in comparison snatched the bundle away rather unceremoniously and looked at it confused. "what in the name of Gaia?" he asked rhetorically. "how in the world is there a human infant in my arm?" he shouted. "the scans did not recognise the lifeforms we brought as human" Hojo stated before it struck him, "no the scans recognised it as barely human" he though as a devious smile formed on his lips "well then" Hojo stated "let's see what makes you tick"
Several hours later the infant was in a large tube being bathed in Mako fluid "yes this is very interesting indeed" Hojo stated as he surveyed the infant floating in Mako making notes.
"the president would like to know what you find so interesting" a male voice rang out.
Turning his head irritably Hojo was greeted with a sight he would rather not see "Veld" he greeted the director of the TURK. "inform the president that I have made a new breakthrough and tell him I require a batch of S-cells immediately" Hojo ordered.
"I take it that infant that appears to be newborn is what you find so fascinating" Veld stated. "and didn't you already have some in your equipment?" he asked
Looking at the TURK annoyed Hojo answered "yes to minds like Hollanders they wouldn't be able to comprehend the breakthrough I have made here, also to answer you question yes I did I need more, you see this boys body tissue is made up of something unique, It absorbed and assimilated the Mako I injected into him, also it is capable of assimilating the S-cells to an extraordinary length, if my theory is correct this child will become stronger the Sephiroth ever can be" Hojo stated.
Veld was taken aback from his statement. Sephiroth and project S it had been decided was to be used for SHINRA to create its own elite military force, this force had been decided to be called SOLDIER. According to Hojo's and Hollander's theories the products of both project S and project G were stronger and developed better than the regular SOLDIER. Already Sephiroth had begun to outshine the rest even though he was barely ten years old at the most. For Hojo to say that this child would become stronger than Sephiroth could ever be was a big statement indeed. "Are you a certain?" Veld asked thinking that Hojo had finally lost it.
"not in the least" Hojo answered as he brought up the scans "you see here if he is able to assimilate the Jenova cells his will be developing 2.5 times faster than the average human physically but the tissue that he is made out of is designed to make sure that you maintain your prime." he explained a mad look in his eye.
"so are you telling me that in ten years time he will be a child in an adults body" Veld asked somewhat confused.
"no" Hojo snapped. "it appears that the specimen is capable of absorbing knowledge at an even faster rate" Hojo explained. "also from what I have seen if he will only continue to grow stronger, he may not age past the prime of life but he will be constantly growing stronger" Hojo exclaimed with a mad look.
Veld began to slowly back away "I think I will inform the president of what you desire" the Director of TURK stated before he made his retreat.
Looking up at the child Hojo smiled "my boy you hold so much promise yet you don't even have a name for yourself forget about the project's" Hojo stated before his look became serious again. "yes I believe that would be a good name" he muttered to himself "a good contrast to Sephiroth"
Five years later
"is there a reason you are feeing unusually glum today" Angeal asked his friend Sephiroth since he noticed that his friend seemed unusually withdrawn from even him and Genesis.
"unfortunately so" his fellow first responded.
"is it about your brother?" Angeal asked concerned for both Sephiroth and his sibling.
"he had" Sephiroth began but paused wondering how to best put it "he had another episode" Sephiroth finished.
"that is not good, this would make it the fourth one this year" Angeal stated the youth crossing his arms and frowning. "do you believe Hojo will have him confined" Angeal asked.
"I don't know" Sephiroth answered "but I wouldn't put it past the president to do something like that."
"what where they thinking putting a child on the front line in Wutai?" Angeal asked slamming his fist against the wall.
"apparently our president forgot that while he has physically mature to twelve years he has only lived through five" Sephiroth answered. "even Hojo said that it was still too early and that he needed another year or two, it is one of the rare times I find myself agreeing with the bastard"
"you agreeing with Hojo huh the world really must be coming to an end" a new voice rang out. "on a seond note you two did see the devastation that Kuro wrecked upon the Wutai ninja's ranks when he fought so it is not hard to imagine why the president wanted him in the field."
"Genesis" Angeal greeted the newcomer. "what took you so long?" the bulky first asked.
"you are unusually late late" Sephiroth pointed out.
The auburn haired youth chuckled "I believe that the term is fashionably late. To answer your question Angeal I just ran into Sephiroth's brother Kuro it seems as though he has calmed down a bit" Genesis answered. "poor boy I have no idea how he does it but his powers make a mastered Graviga materia look like a joke" he stated. "I wonder if he could teach me? After all he does keep you on your toes" Genesis mused as he glanced at Sephiroth.
"did you get caught up in it?" Angeal asked concerned.
"fear not" Genesis replied "I was not foolish enough to go near Kuro when he is like that unlike a certain white haired SOLDIER we know."
"that was not humorous" Sephiroth replied.
"it wasn't then you have my apologies" Genesis said. "on the other hand Kuro seems to be able to handle his episodes a lot better than before."
Sephiroth looked into Genesis's mako eyes with his own emerald Green catlike eyes, a trait only him and his brother shared in common "you think so" he asked.
"of course" Genesis answered. "do you think that I would lie about his condition?" he stated a bit outraged.
Sephiroth had to admit it Genesis may have a peculiar way of dealing with things but he was fond of Kuro like all of them were. "so how was he?" he asked.
Genesis smirked. "infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess we seek it thus and take to the skies" he quoted.
"LOVELESS isn't an answer" Sephiroth stated.
"ah but there is where you are 'wrong my friend'" Genesis replied.
Angeal resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the second reference Genesis had just made "please I believe Sephiroth may just die of boredom is you explain to him again how people could interpret his answer" Angeal stated. "in short you are unsure of how he will be later on but you believe that Kuro will be able to overcome it" Angeal summarised.
"well that is putting it very and I mean very bluntly but yes" Genesis answered "yes I do believe that is so."
"Hopefully you're right" Sephiroth stated. "Kuro's existence has always been special, perhaps even more special than my own" the silver haired first mused, before abbruptly putting up his hand and hushing Genesis before the latter was about to speak "if you quote LOVELESS one more time forget about what Angeal has told you for I will be the who will kill you" Sephiroth stated before adding "with honour" he added with a rare smile and good humour getting laughs from his two friends and fellow firsts.
Five years later, several hours after the incident in the SOLDIER training room with Genesis
"Brother do you think he will be right" a tall looking man with black hair and emerald cat like eyes asked. He was in the standard SOLDIER first class uniform with a tattered hooded black cloak over it and wielded a deadly looking scythe in his hand which he kept playing with showing that he was concerned
Sephiroth turned to look at his brother before responding "I am not Kuro sure they say that the wound is refusing to heal" the white haired General of SOLDER answered.
Kuro cocked his head to one side before answering "that is bad" he paused to crouch on a sofa "did they accept your offer for a blood donor" Kuro asked.
"sadly they did not, nor did they accept yours" Sephiroth answered. "apparently it was not compatible" he added.
"my guess he went to Hollander not Hojo" Kuro asked the silence he received from Sephiroth was all the answer he needed "I guess I was right" anyone's relationship with Hollander would have been comparable to that of the relationship between a child and a dentist but Hojo was another special kind of nasty all on his own. "a pity Hojo would have been able to solve this dilemma" Kuro stated.
Sephiroth sighed while his brother was dear to him Kuro had all the subtlety of a rock even Angeal and his ''puppy' could be more circumspect than him which was an achievement. "perhaps but would you go to Hojo for help? and would he just do what was needed of him? Or would he take the opportunity that you have presented him to test some of his theories of other work?" Sephiroth asked.
"We both know the answer to that question but the fact still remains somewhere along the line your problem will be fixed" Kuro stated.
Sephiroth smiled at his brother. For all of Kuro's skill and intelligence he was still a child and for good reason he was literally ten years old. Though something didn't add up for Sephiroth. Kuro's mother he had been told was his that is why they were brothers but for Some reason Kuro had always asked him if he had know their 'mother' Sephiroth had a very early memory being told that his mothers name was Jenova and that she had died giving birth to him but Kuro had been told that he had been abandoned by her, was it possible that this woman named Jenova was not their mother? Sephiroth had asked himself this question on plenty of occasion but for some reason he had never been able to understand why he couldn't except it. He had even shared his thoughts with Kuro who had told Sephiroth that probably their mother didn't want either of them or that they had been taken away from her by SHINRA and that he believed the latter. Sephiroth to found the latter about them being taken more appealing. "Somewhere along the line it will be fixed I guess you're right but remember it is only somewhere along the line and not immediately" Sephiroth told him.
"yeah brother you're right" Kuro agreed "it seems I've got to go fix a problem in this remote town called Nibelheim" he sated as he got up.
"what is going on there?" Sephirtoh asked.
"Apparently their Mako reactor has been damaged and is in need of a repair" Kuro answered.
"And this warrants the attention of SOLDIERS Black Reaper how?" Sephiroth asked.
"apparently there is a nest of dragons there that is the cause of it" Kuro explained.
"trying to change your name to dragon slayer?" Sephiroth teased.
"wouldn't you like to know" Kuro responded in good humour. His title was the result of his exploits during Wutai and his favoured choice of weapon. It was not a name the he relished nor was it one that he revived it was simply something that happened around him when he went into combat. Sighing to himself Kuro thought "I hope that this is not as troublesome as the last assignment"
At Mount Nibel
Kuro sighed as he destroyed the last of the dragons they were hardly worth the effort just one strike ad they die "well now I have to go to the reactor best ask one of the locals" he thought aloud. Kuro was someone that did no desire to interact with others for prolonged periods of time, his training had seen to that. Luckily for him on his way into the small backwater town he spotted a spiky haired blond youth alone. Walking up to him he asked. "do you know where the Mako reactor here is?"
The chocobo head seemed to leap out of his skin perhaps Kuro's ability to remain unnoticeable was some inconvenient "uh yes sir" the youth mumbled. It was clear the Kuro intimidated him.
"can you take me there?" Kuro asked trying to sound friendly and not more intimidating than Sephiroth which Angeal had told him once.
"uh" the blonde paused "yes" he finally answered.
The youth then led him up the mountain to which Kuro thought "great I just went up there and I didn't realise the Mako reactor was there"
As they were walking it seems that the youth had picked up the courage to speak. "so are you" he said pausing before he finished "are you really SOLDIER's Black Reaper?" he asked.
"you could say I am though I rally dislike being called that" Kuro answered. "if you want to call me something call me Kuro that is my name after all"
"uh okay" the youth answered. Obviously disturbed by the SOLDIER's informality.
"what did you expect me to be like kid?" Kuro asked with a bit of a laugh from what he could see this kid was at least five years older than him "did you expect me too be like my older brother Sephiroth" Kuro suggested since people thought that Sephiroth's personality was the norm for SOLDIER.
"uh yes" the Youth responded afraid that he was insulting the SOLDIER first class.
"just relax a bit" Kuro suggested to him "I can be like my brother if you like but I'd rather not being so professional all the time tends to be a bit of a headache to do it all the time" he explained "by the way" what's your name Kuro asked.
The chocobo head seemed to bee surprised at this "uh cloud sir" he responded.
"Cloud?" Kuro stated motioning on for the kid to say his surname.
"Strife sir" Cloud answered. "Cloud Strife."
"Cloud Strife huh?" Kuro asked rhetorically noticing a look in the youth's eyes "I take it your life has so far suited your name well your last at least" he stated. The chocobo headed youth also known as Cloud Strife seemed to be reluctant to answer this and Kuro left it at that. If it was a past that he would rather not share why should he press the issue any further.
When they had reached the Mako reactor Kuro turned to cloud and stated. "you better come inside with me, kid as you know its not safe out here."
"but isn't this place for SHINRA employee's only?" Cloud asked confused.
"there are no camera's there and besides Spiky its not like I am going to tell the higher ups that I brought a youth along with me" Kuro answered.
"are you sure?" Cloud did seem a bit hesitant.
Kuro smiled behind his skull styled visor "come one Strife where's your sense of adventure, if you wan to join SOLDIER you will need some spirit" he said.
"but I never mentioned" Cloud began.
"you have that look in your eye I've seen it before" Kuro answered.
"what look Sir?" Cloud asked "I mean Kuro" he quickly amended.
"just come on we're burning daylight here" Kuro stated before forcibly dragging cloud inside with him inside the reactor.
Once inside the two proceeded to find the disturbance and deal with it things seemed to be pretty laid back and Kuro was hoping that they would be able to make it back to Nibelheim before dark. "almost done now I can get back to Midgar and get an update on how Genesis is going" he thought.
"J-E-N-O-V-A, Jenova" Cloud stated catching the reapers attention.
"what did you say?" Kuro asked looking directly at the spiky haired youth. "did he just say my mothers name?"
Cloud appeared to be reading something on a wall with a door attached to it "Jenova, it says that here" he stated. "is there something wrong?" he asked confused.
"that was my mothers name" Kuro stated before viewing the entrance to the place.
"it seems to be sealed" Cloud stated.
"not for much longer, I thin they'll let us in if we knock politely" Kuro joked as he comically wound his arm up and smashed his fist caving in the metal doorway.
"how come there isn't any alarms going off?"Cloud asked a bit frightened at what just happened.
"even if they SHINRA is most probably going to take a few hours to get here" Kuro stated as he walked in and gestured at for the youth to follow "its better to stay close" he explained.
A little hesitant Cloud nodded and walked in with him. "What is this place?" he asked a bit frightened.
"I don't know I just have a feeling" Kuro answered.
"a feeling, what are you talking about?" Cloud asked confused.
"that something is drawing me here do you feel it?" Kuro responded.
The spiky haired blonde shook his head "I am only getting the feeling that we should get away from this place it is starting to creep me out" he answered.
"that is perfectly understandable" Kuro agreed as they pressed on.
Eventually they came eventually they came to a type of doll stylised as an angel with a sign reading Jenova at it "is that your ma?" Cloud asked.
"I'm not sure" Kuro answered before walking up the massive cables. Regarding it he said "it seems as though this is only the doorway" he stated before delicately removing the doll like contraption. There was a hissing of gears, there seemed to be movement and a human sized tube was revealed. "No!" Kuro gasped as he fell to his knees at the sight he saw.
Cloud seemingly worried at what caused the first such despair climbed up and beheld what could be called a monstrosity. It had grey skin and had a vaguely feminine appearance it shared some similar facial features with the silver general of SOLDIER. It had red glowing eyes. It had something that looked like an oversized heart at its feet with with several tube like extensions coming out from it connecting to various places of its body, on its back it has several appendages as well as a few wing like protrusions. "what is that?" Cloud asked stunned and terrified.
"My mother as well as Sephirtoh's" Kuro answered his voice barely a whisper. "I had always known" he stared "I had always known ever since I was a child that I was different, even to Sephiroth" Kuro answered his voice trembling. "But this" he hissed "but this is not what I meant." Kuro felt as though something was trying to influence his mind pulling strings and poking needles in his very brain. His gravity powers and ability to freeze anything started to act up as his usually kept in check emotions rushed to the fore. "Mother why?" he asked "why did you abandon your sons?" his left hand clutching his scythe unimaginatively named 'the goddesses gift' by Genesis was trembling with barely controlled rage. "Why do you only want us now" he demanded his voice a roar. The tension he was creating started to crack the glass like substance of the tube. "No mother" Kuro stated his emerald feline eyes hardening with a dangerous glow. "I will not for give you" he stated before raising his right hand before flexing it straight and sending his 'mother into oblivion or to be more specific reduced to a stain of blood.
"uh Kuro" Cloud asked as he was pinned to the floor.
Immediately Kuro restrained himself reducing his powers output and allowing Cloud to move freely again also removing the pressure that was crushing the youth. "sorry about that" he apologised.
What Kuro was going to say next was cut off by a mechanical voice "Warning" it stated "please evacuate all personnel only twenty seconds until safety measures are activated."
Not missing a beat Kuro scooped up Cloud and dashed madly at top speed, he had almost made it when he was engulfed by a Mako like explosion covering Cloud protectively he whispered to the Blonde "you would have made fine SOLDIER" he said hoping to comfort Cloud as the two were engulfed by the light.
When Cloud came to he found himself bound and in a dark room sitting at a table he hear whispers which meant that someone else was in there with him "We've only just been able to make him fully concious I say we let him rest for a few hours more" a Voice said in a hushed tone.
"No" another hushed but firm voice stated "we need answer since he was the only living being on Mount Nibel he is the only possible witness"
"look he is wake now good luck Director"
"alright I will question him now" the one called Director stated before he walked down and sat at the other end of the table "Mr Strife I presume, My Name is Veld and I am the Director of the TURKs" he introduced himself "You may wonder why you are here" he stated. "The answer to that is that we found you unconscious and severely damaged by exposure to a high concentration of Mako it is a miracle you survived and that is why we need you to answer a few questions."
Cloud not fully aware asked "where is Kuro?"
"Kuro? Who is he? Veld asked.
"tall man, massive scythe skeleton style visor" Cloud described slurring his words unable to full concentrate.
"Commander Kuro was with you where is he?" Veld asked concerned.
"Jenova, Kuro, Reactor, Mother, explosion, protect, SOLDIER" was all Cloud managed to say before he passed out.
"well I did tell you that we should've have waited" the second voice said.
Veld made a disapproving noise "it appears you were right Tseng" he answered.
Kuro opened his eyes immediately to behold a scene like none other there were children who had not even finished their teen years lying dead strewn mutilated across the ground, It is bitterly cold and there is snow everywhere that has been stained with blood. Finally his emerald eyes were drawn to the shadows looming over him several white gigantic figures appeared to be towering over him.
They were white and blue not to mention the fact that they were over ten stories high "well it is bigger than a Midgar Zolom, hopefully it will be more fun" he muttered to himself. Cloud was nowhere to be seen but that wasn't an immediate concern.
"what are you doing here? You should get out of here its not safe" a Female voice rang out to Kuro as he walked closer towards the white creatures.
"I have no idea why I'm here" Kuro answered honestly not bothering to look back as he continued advanced.
One of the white creatures apparently noticed him and moved its arms firing blade like projectiles in his general area. "look out" another voice rang out. Kuro for his part was undaunted raising his free hand he cast a barrier spell with his mastered materia. All of the projectiles seemingly fell to the ground harmlessly.
"It seems that the centre of its torso resonates whenever it is using its power" Kuro observed. "I theorise that if I was to destroy that centre I would be able to destroy it" Kuro then leapt up and in a burst of speed too fast for the human eye to follow he attacked all four of the white beings.
Elize Schmitz's had never been at a loss for words more so than now. They had been losing the 8th Nova clash until a figure dressed in what seemed to be a tattered black cloak wielding what appeared to be a scythe came and single-handedly changed the course of their current engagement by killing four R-type Nova in less than an instant and was currently advancing on the new unidentified Nova that had been causing the Pandora's and limiters so much trouble. "what is he?" she asked herself.
"Elize-senpai, what is going on? I heard that several of the R type Nova's were just taken down" her friend Kazuha asked as she arrived to confront the unidentified Nova.
"Kazuha I think you may want to look there" Elize pointed. "that's the thing that destroyed the Nova" she explained.
"who is that" Kazuha asked. For some reason she found that despite its appearance something about the figure that resembled the grim reaper was familiar to her. Kazuha had only felt like this when she was either around her father or her aunt. "what is this being and who is it? And why do I feel as though I we have met before?" she asked herself. Asking herself back to the real world now was not the time to think about such things. It was a Nova clash now was the time to act.
Turing to one of the other Pandora's she said "Yumi-sempai to be able to get close and be able to attack that unidentified Nova we need to double our speed and put ourselves on the same time access as it" she explained earning gasps.
Yumi-Mi-Kim nodded before saying "how are we supposed to do that, all of us here are all but dead?" she asked.
Before Kazuha could respond however one of their Limiters still left alive shouted out "Sempai the Unidentified Nova is about to attack"
They all turned and readied themselves. The unidentified Nova seemed to be using its core as a power source so the it could use some sort of blast as it fired all the Pandora's took the surviving limiters and leapt out of the way it would be going.
"hey you watch out" Yumi shouted at the mysterious figure who had taken down the R-type Nova's just before. If the figure had heard her Yumi did not know as it simply raised a gloved hand at the oncoming attack.
All those present watched in shock and fascination as the blast stopped directly in front of its hand as it kept walking pushing it back
The Nova on its end was very confused and unknown entity had just appeared in a similar style its own and had in the course of five minutes of this worlds time had single handedly changed the course of the battler. The Nova then tried to communicate with this new being that it identified as male. It asked why it was here and why was it defending those humans since the Nova was unable to recognise it as one, obviously he was not one.
The response it received was as such "am I a human being?" The man no the boy the Nova confirmed responded. "regardless of whether I am human or if I am just a monster, I must maintain my pride and No matter what happens I must also protect my honour as SOLDIER"
This was his reply before he sprung into the Nova could appreciate the nobility of it. Deciding that he needed to be captured and not destroyed the Nova activated its freezing. To its surprise the figure remained unaffected and lept onto its torso. Using his scythe to maintain his hold on its torso and attack its core he said "all that awaits you is a sombre morrow, no matter where the winds may blow" was what he cryptically said before he his fist penetrated the torso and unleashed a fire attack inside of it destroying the core. And sending the Nova into oblivion's grasp.
Looking at his handiwork Kuro made a disapproving noise "too messy I should've avoided making the collateral damage" he chided himself. Taking off his helmet he shook his head and got a good feel of the cold breeze "ah this is just like the Northern Wastes" he said smiling. Kuro then noticed the other people who had been here. "Yes how can I help for you?" he asked a little cheerfully as if he hadn't laid waste to foe that had been causing them so much trouble with little to no effort.
The majority of the girls and boys surrounding him looked stunned and hushed whispers ran rampant, unfortunately for them Kuro's mako enhanced hearing could pick up everything they said. Not very impressed at one of the comments he said to the girl who said it, hey if you've got a problem with me feel free to take it up with my scythe its very generous" he answered. "also by the way you might as well say what you want to aloud I can hear all of what you are whispering to each other" he explained.
"umm by the way who are you exactly" one of the more maturely behaved girls asked.
"well shouldn't you know, well introduce yourself first if you want to know someone else's name" he responded. Kuro could feel everyone feel somewhat confused, perhaps they were wondering why someone who did what he had just done was being obsessed over manners "well Angeal did beat that into me so I can blame him" Kuro reflected.
"Okay" the girl responded in a composed manner "my name is Yu-Mi-Kim" she introduced herself "I am the Student council president of West Genetics."
"president huh?" Kuro asked. "do you own some sort of company?" he asked.
"uh no I am the head of the student council of West Genetics" Yu-Mi replied confused.
"is that some sort of organisation?" Kuro asked confused. How can you be the president if you are not the head of a company also who ws her mentor.
"uh no West genetics is an Academy for Pandora's to learn how to use their powers and protect humanity" Yu-Mi-Kim explained.
While Kuro had didn't full understand he got the gist of it "oh so you're the one in charge" he stated.
"uh no" the brown haired girl answered.
"wait what how?" Kuro asked cocking his head to the side "how can you not be in charge if you are the president?" he asked confused.
Yu-Mi was confused how could someone so powerful and skilled, someone who cut through Nova's like a knife through butter not understand what she was talking about. "Its a school Sister Margaret is in charge as she is the Principal" she answered.
"how can someone be a principle?" Kuro asked confused "aren't they something you make like rules and regulations that only you follow?"
"did he just say what I think he did?" Yu-Mi thought "do you know what a student is?" she asked.
"well yes anyone who has been taught or has taught knows" Kuro reesponded.
"Do you know what a teacher is?" she asked.
"do you possibly mean instructor or mentor?" Kuro answered still confused.
"uh no, I mean yes well sort of" was all Yu-Mi was able to answer "do you know what a school is?" she asked.
"huh?" Kuro said as he was now noticing that the other survivors had stated to come closer after seeing his behaviour.
"A school" Saeko Kotou the groups decoy a girl with black hair clipped back save for two bangs at the front said "its a place where people go to learn" she said Saeko was a little stunned it was absurd that this man had defeated a Nova as well as not knowing common knowledge.
"never heard of it I learnt everything I know from my brother and friends" he answered.
"there are more of you?" a girl almost screamed the girl as Mi-Ryung Baek.
"uh yes in SOLDIER there are total of seventy-eight of us SOLDEIR spread throughout the three classes"
"classes?" Mi-Ryung asked.
"well you know first class, second class and third class" Kuro answered.
"is that where you learn" Saeko asked.
"No" Kuro answered with are you serious face. "Third class is where you first start off when you join SOLDIER at that point you are hot blooded and ready to prove yourself" Kuro explained "when you have gained enough experience as well as becoming stronger and more dependable you'll be promoted to second. Now finally is First Class to get in there you have to be one of the best in top form almost a hundred percent of the time as well as being stronger, smarter and more composed than the seconds and thirds" he explained "now as you have seen here with me SOLDIER first class is allowed to customise their uniform not that any does it really besides not wearing the helmet on missions."
"where are the others" Yu-Mi asked.
"well the majority of them should be in Midgar and sat least a few squads of seconds are still posted Wutai" Kuro answered oh that reminds me what were those things that I killed earlier also could you be kind enough to tell me where I am, I was on a mission in Nibelheim when the reactor blew." he asked "oh my apologies I forgot to tell you my name. I am Kuro SOLDIER first class" he said with a small bow.
Yu-Mi had never even heard of the places that Kuro just mentioned nor had she ever heard of this thing called soldier that he claimed. Luckily Kazuha Aoi came to her rescue "this is Alaska she answered, I don't think any of us have heard of those places you talked about nor have any of us heard of this soldier that you claim to be apart of."
suddenly the granddaughter of Genog Aoi found herself pinned to the ground by a boot, Kuro had his scythe resting delicately at her neck and a cold expression was on his face. "lets get one thing clear girl" he said in a voice devoid of any emotion that unnerved everyone present "I do not claim to be SOLDIER, I am SOLDIER, feeble people such as yourself better lose the arrogant tone lest you desire to lose something else" he threatened.
For all of her strength and high-end skill Kazuha was unable to even resist the amount of strength that Kuro was using even though Kuro himself looked calm and relaxed. "what is he something about him resonates with my but why" she thought as he lifted his foot off her torso. Looking at his eyes Kuzuha saw that Kuro had glowing green eyes that were slitted
Snorting Kuro removed his blade from "my apologies" he said professionally "my outburst was somewhat unneeded" he stated as he helped Kazuha up "that is one of the few subjects I get touchy about" he explained. "I can see from your eyes that you are not lying to me so I guess it was wrong for me to take offence when you did not believe."
"I'm sorry too" Kazuha also apologised not expecting the person that could have killed her moments before apologise to her so humbly.
Their moment was interrupted by Elize Schmitz who spoke "well you could always come along with us to the HQ" she suggested playfully "I for one would feel a lot better if we had someone who could kill Nova's like they were nothing with us in case they appear again" the green haired girl stated earning the agreement of the other survivors.
"smirking Kuro responded "fine might as well, it's not like I have anything else better to do" he responded casually before joining them in their walk back to HQ.
As they were walking before he doned his Visor again Kazuha was staring at Kuro "why do I feel as though I should know him" she thought "and why does he look so familiar?"
there like I said it was longer than expected as to Kuro/Kazuya's behavior please remember that while being a veteran SOLDIER he is only ten and has some insecurities as to why he attacked Jenova he believed that when he was born that she had abandoned him so that was in the back of his mind when she tried to influence him hence why he was able to resist it
As to why he 'resonates' with KAzuha it is because of when she toughed him while he was still in his mother Ories Womb. I am unsure where to go with this so input would be very much appreciate anything you would like to share so please feel free to PM me or Review if you have any suggestions
