Alright guys, this is an AU fic, which means, three friends? NOPE. Four friends! XD Oh well this an AU.

Crisis Core is the timeline here. Zack and Cloud are the deuteragonists.

Disclaimer: I don't own Crisis Core and the Final Fantasy 7 itself, except for my OC and fan-made terms. Note that if something is the same as in the original ones, it is coincidence.

Prologue, Start!


Sixteen years ago, there was another project besides Jenova Project G and Jenova Peoject S,

it was... Project R, or, Project Ragnarok. The ShinRa Electric Power Company's Science Department held a meeting about Project G and Project S's results. Genesis and Angeal, born under Project G. Sephiroth under the latter. The leftover specimens' genes and expierments were not anymore left into a waste. Instead, they conducted a new project: Project R.

The main goal of Project R was to simply create a one-man army soldier against the rebels of Shinra, resulting in countless massacres for those who oppose them. Jenova, the calamity from the skies, had its cells taken and used for experiments.

Project R used the leftover S cells with altering Jenova cells now called R cells, injected into a fetus of a pregnant woman. The fetus was born as a boy, and the scientists named him 'Mekazu', or its full name, 'Mekazu Ataxia'. He was kept under observation for years, as his physical prowess were deemed around the same level as Sephiroth's, but still there is the age gap, deeming Mekazu is the latest child born from an experiment. But they hid the content about the Project R and kept it under the lowest levels of Shinra Manor's library.

Mekazu was a happy child in his early years, but he was entirely changed when his mother died from sickness. He became a rather gloomy person at childhood, as he is took by Shinra and trained as a SOLDIER, with Angeal, Genesis and Sephiroth.

As of today, the three are now SOLDIER 1st Class, leaving Mekazu 2nd behind.

Present Time, at SOLDIER Floor

"Mekazu! Quit dozing off around the SOLDIER Floor! You have an assignment, and if you keep going on like that, you'll never be 1st!" said a fellow SOLDIER, noticed that Mekazu was sleeping while Director Lazard issued an assignment to him.

Mekazu woke up and yawned from the table desk, as he said. "Screw this shit, I'm coming."

His friend sighed as Mekazu went to the director's office. Lazard greeted Mekazu.

Director Lazard explained. "The Wutai War is over, only to find some Genesis copies laying off around the ruins. SOLDIER 1st Class Angeal is also missing. Will you investigate?" Mekazu raised his eyebrow as he heard copies. "I guess... something's odd. I'll do it."

Lazard said. "Once your assignment has been finished, come see me for a surprise."

Mekazu noticed this but left for the mission.
