Prologue

" What, where am I? The basement, how'd I get here? Enough, I have to get back to Zack and the other's." The man stood and walked to the exit of the room. " How'd the door get locked?" He banged on the door. " Hey, open up!" no one answered. " Enough, open the door now, or I will break it down!" still no answer, the man drew his sword. " Alright, I warned you step back!" he warned. He swung his sword as hard as he could, but amazingly the sword bounced of the door and out of his hands. " What the hell?" startled he questioned. Going to retrieve his sword he returned his attention to the door. He continued his attempts to open the door, each attempt failing as the previous ones. He continued this for 8 years until on day he was startled.

" Who are you, where have you taken me?" She demanded. The man whirled around at the voice of the other, holding his sword to here throat. She, almost just as quickly, raised her weapon, a pistol the man noted, aiming is at his head.

" I'm judging, by your question, that you don't know how you got here, meaning that we are in a similar situation." The man stated. Wearily they both lowered their weapons. " As for the location, you are currently in the basement of the Shinra Mansion, located in Nibelheim."

" Well" the woman replied. " I'm just going to leave if you don't mind." Walking past him, she approached the door, turning the knob and pushing it, nothing. She threw he shoulder against it, still it wouldn't budge. " I have been trying that for years" the man interrupted " We're going to be stuck here a while."

" Shit!" She cried having just pulled her weapon and firing, but having the bullet bounce of the door almost hitting her head. " How do we get out?!" She almost cried, asking him the questioned. " I told you, I don't know." The man replied.

" Well, we might as well introduce are selves, I'm Shalau." She says.

" Right, Sephiroth, Soldier first-class."

This shocks Shalau. " Sephiroth, you can't be. You died a year ago in the fight for the planet."

" Impossible, I've been here for the last 8 years. Right after my mission to investigate the reactor on mount Nibel."

" Reactor? Do you mean MAKO reactor? We haven't used one of them in years." This information came to a shock to Sephiroth. They continued talking about what had happened since he was locked in here. She told him about the fight for the planet, leaving out the fact that he had been the antagonist, then the Reunion, again leaving out the fact that again, he was the antagonist. When she got to the part about the Deep Ground Soldiers, he spoke.

" I told the president it was a bad idea, Soldier was all he needed."

She continued to answer his questions, until one day, he woke up and she was gone.
