Creation's Fate

Prologue: Recreation from Jenova's Blood

In two different towns in two different locations; big laboratories under the supervision of the ShinRa Corporation were underway on their continued efforts on the JENOVA Project. In the laboratory in Nibelheim, a professor named 'Hojo' lead a team of bio-engineers and scientists on creating their first pure Jenova infused SOLDIER. In the laboratory at the outskirts of Edge, another professor named 'Jerimiah' lead the second team of bio-engineers and scientists to create the same thing as Hojo's team.

At the main ShinRa Corps' main building sitting at his desk, President Shinra was awaiting results of the two teams' progress. During Day two of the projects' activities, President Shinra contacts Hojo's team to check on their progress. During that time, a scientist uses a type of a more modified microscope to inject Jenova Cells into four human ovum to see which one of the four will take. The first three attempts failed, but Hojo wasn't backing down from these failures.

As Hojo studied through his notes, one of his fellow scientists rushes to him with a radio communicator in his hand. "Sir. Its President Shinra. Its important," he said to Hojo. The professor grabs the communicator and speaks into it.

"Hojo here," he said into the microphone. On the other end, President Shinra responds, "Any progress so far on Project JENOVA?"

"We are doing what you requested. So far of two days of study, the first three attempts of injecting pure Jenova Cells into human ovum have ended with failure. We're going to continue this til we get that one prepared," answered Hojo. "With failure comes success. I know it won't be long til you create that special SOLDIER for us to make as a general and commander," said President Shinra.

"I will make sure to keep going no matter how long it takes. I will have your SOLDIER general commander made and ready, just as you requested. We will make this creation as perfect as can be," said Hojo. At the lab at the outskirts of Edge, one of the scientists were checking to see if any of the four Jenova Cell fused ovum took. After the scans, three died off in a form of rejection, but the last of the four was dividing; beginning a new life through the genetic modifications. The female scientist was ecstatic.

"Sir! We got one!" she called out to the lead professor. Jerimiah rushed to the room, "We got one dividing?"

"Yes sir. Three of the four died off with rejection, but this one..The last one is dividing..We did it, sir," she answered. "Excellent! We're still not out of the woods yet. Lets keep an eye on things til we're sure we succeeded," said Jerimiah. She gave a nod and continued to monitor the results of thei efforts. After a couple days of studying, the scientists made a startling discovery.

"Sir...The cell divisions are at an incredible rate. On the first day of division, its been growing at an accelerated rate. With estimated time, it should take less than a couple weeks til its fully grown, and a week til its just a infant child," said one of the male bio-engineers with the results and notes in his hands. Jerimiah was in shock, grabbing the notes and reads through them to confirm some of the facts.

"Is this right? That fast?" asked Jerimiah. "Its correct, sir. Its probably the Jenova Cells that caused this fast growth. Like with most of the SOLDIERS we made, after full maturity, their aging will cease and they gain the 'immortal' trait," answered the bio-engineer.

"Incredible...It seems now we have a good explanation of the fast growth rate. Excellent work," said Jerimiah, handing back the notes to the bio-engineer. After a week passes and a couple of days, the Jenova Cell infused ovum quickly grew to an embryo; then to a fully formed fetus; last to a eight or nine year old boy with blonde hair and a pair of brilliant blue eyes. The child was playing around with a stuffed animal, one a female scientist gave him to keep him busy.

"What a marvelous creation. I wonder how my partner, Hojo, is doing. I hope he's faring well," said Jerimiah. Back at the lab near Edge, Hojo was in utter frustration. 'What am I doing wrong? Failure is not an option!' Hojo thought, slamming his face on the table with notes on it. Just as Hojo lifts his head up, a male scientist comes in with a communicator.

"Jerimiah's on the line, sir," said the scientist. Hojo was relieved that it wasn't President Shinra. On the other side of the microphone, Jerimiah speaks, "Hojo, how are things going over there?"

"Not good. No matter how hard I try, I can't make a perfect SOLDIER general commander. I don't even know what I'm doing wrong," answered Hojo in lament. "Gezz...I was like that, too, I assure you. A week ago, we finally got one," answered Jerimiah.

"Really? That's excellent!" cheered Hojo. Jerimiah relayed the information his team gathered; from the accellerated growth to the newly made creation.

"Outstanding!" cheered Hojo. "Maybe this trick I did might help you in your predicament. Since your adding the purest of Jenova Cells to the mix, you must add half of it into the ovum, just like the process of conception. Too much, or too little will result in demise. Try this and contact me back if it failed or succeeded," said Jerimiah. After that conversation, Hojo was now intrigued of this and determined to create that special SOLDIER for ShinRa.

Hojo and his team then did the process technique that Jerimiah did and added half of the Jenova cells into the four ovum and waited for results. The next day, a bio-engineer comes into Hojo's office with excellent news.

"Dr. Hojo, Dr. Hojo!" he said, shaking the scientist awake as his head was laying on the desk. Hojo snorts awake, "Huh? What? Oh...What happened?"

"Sorry to wake you at this time..It took. The three died off in rejection, but the last one...Its dividing. We did it!" said the bio-engineer. Hojo sat up in surprise. "It did? Oh, my god...We did it! At long last!" cheered Hojo. The professor then goes to inspect the results. To his joy, the zygote was dividing well and rapidly as Jerimiah said. Hojo soon contacts his partner and said, "This is Hojo...It worked. Its a pure success !" Within the week, the already full term creation was ready to be removed from its amniotic container.

"Carefull...Carefull. That's it," said Hojo as he instructed the group along with him while bringing the newly made baby out to breath fresh air.

"Easy, guys...Easy..There we go," said a female bio-engineer as she helped lifting the baby out. Immediately as it was taken out of the container onto a fresh towel, the newborn began to cry. "Magnificent...Its beautiful," said another female bio-engineer.

"You mean 'he's' beautiful. Its a male," said a male scientist. "I modified the genes to this one. By orders of President Shinra, we made this one a hermaphrodite. We'll wait til they're both fully grown and breed them, by requests of President Shinra" said Hojo.

"Excellent idea, but how?" asked one of the bio-engineers as another clamped the cord and cutted it to free the newborn. "He can change gender at will, but the appearance will always be the same. It will be possible," answered Hojo.

"Yes it will be..Now," said the bio-engineer. "Look...He's opening his eyes," said a female scientist. Slowly, the baby began to open his little eyes, revealing them to be aqua green with slitted pupils.

"Doctor...Look at his eyes. They're just like-" "Just like the eyes of Jenova. Magnificent. He is perfect in every way that we made him to be. Just like those other clones of Sephiroth. We will name him...Sephiroth," Hojo interrupted the female scientist. From that moment on, the baby was named after the other clones of a former hero that almost tried to destroy the planet with unsurpassed skills and a single black feathered wing: Sephiroth.
