by one winged seraph

A alternative to Advent Children. 2 years after final fantasy 7, the jenova cells are evolving, and staging a bigscale comeback. and caught up in the strings is AVALANCHE, several new characters,and a resurrected candidate for a god.

The town was a peaceful one, filled with the laughter of children, and the hustle and bustle of people walking, running, and jogging to their jobs and homes. But, slowly, a gap began to open in the giant mob. And right in the middle, walking leisurely, was a man.

He was about 5 1/2 feet tall with strange armor on his shoulders, black sunglasses and a huge sword that was almost as big as he was.He seemed to be looking for something, then he found it. The police station looked awfully run down compaired to the other buildings of the city, but that was because the city usually didn't have any crimes to worry about. But that was before the bandits showed up and started robbing and mugging people on the street.The man walked into the building to find two old men playing cards at a tableone had a very large mustache and a ten gallon hat on,and the other was bald , had a beard, and large glasses."I hear you are looking for a bounty hunter." said the man with the swordin a monotonous voice, scaring both the old men half to death. "Yeah, but what makes you think you think you have what it takes?" The old man with the ten gallon hat and mustache, whose name was Bill,said without even looking at the man with the sword.The young man gave no reply"Son, I'm talking to you." said Bill,now flustered, and not in a very good mood.The man still gave no response.Bill, now very angry, jumped up from his chair and spun around, only to be scared again when he saw the man with his own eyes."wha-wha-wha-" said Bill, now stammering and shaking"w-well..You certainly look capable, but can you reallyswing that massive sword?" It's not just for show If that's what you mean." sasid the man taking the sword off his back and holding it upright."W-well yes! We do have need of a bounty hunter at this time." said Bill now a little relived that the man wasn't here to kill him."The price is 8500 gil for these m-men." He then handed the man a piece of paper showing the bandits,the individual bandits,the prices on their heads and the price of all of them added up."By the way, I didn' t catch your name." A smirk came across the man's face. "It's Strife, Cloud Strife."
