Little Sephiroth: Chp 1
"I can't believe we were assigned to assist Hojo", Zack whined.
Zachary and Sephiroth were seated in in the corner of Hojo's lab; bored, of course. Hojo was working in the other corner of the room, mumbling to himself. The place had an eerie feeling to it and it made Zack and Sephiroth feel uncomfortable. The room was full of oddities; from strangely colored liquids to chocobos with multiple heads. The fact that the area smelled like a hospital room did not help the two soldiers feel any better.
"Quit complaining about it", Sephiroth snapped.
Zack sighed and lay his head on the desk adjacent to him. In his boredom, he began to curiously pick up glass bottles that were carefully arranged on the table.
"Hey, Seph?", Zack whispered.
"What?"
"What is 'Copper sulfate'?"
"Put that down, Zachary"
Zack put the bottle full of a pretty blue liquid back onto the table. As he reached to pick up another brightly colored chemical, his hand was slapped away.
"I would appreciate it if you did not touch anything", said Hojo.
Sephiroth and Zachary quickly sat up straight in their seats and awaited commands from the evil scientist.
"Could you boys watch the lab whilst I go run an errand?", Hojo asked.
"Why can't we go for you?", asked Zachary.
"Well…what I need is in a restricted part of the building. I will be back momentarily", Hojo said as he left. But when he reached the door, he stopped.
"And do not touch anything while I am away. You do not know what anything in this office does. So do not touch".
Hojo made sure to emphasize the last three words as he shut the door. The instant the door was closed, Zachary jumped to his feet and stretched.
"Sitting that long was tiring!", he yawned.
Sephiroth remained in his chair. He was busy reading a book that was lying open on the table. Zack looked inquisitively around the room, spotted something interesting, and smiled mischievously.
"Zachary, what are you doing? You're being too quiet", Sephiroth said, not looking up from his book. No response.
"Stick 'em up!", Zack called out.
Sephiroth quickly looked up. Zack was pointing a weird looking ray gun at the silver-haired ancient. Sephiroth swatted it away.
"Do not point that thing at me. You do not know what it does", Sephiroth scolded. Zack frowned.
"C'mon, Seph. I wasn't going to pull the trigger", Zack said.
Sephiroth shook his head. "That's not the point here, Zachary. Put the gun back where you found it before an accident happens".
Zack sighed. Sephiroth would never let him have any fun.
"So, what are you reading?", Zack asked.
"Something about alchemy", Sephiroth replied. Zack yawned. Alchemy seemed boring to him. He quietly walked in circles around the desk, twirling the ray gun on his finger. It did not seem so dangerous to him. He decided to point it at Sephiroth again.
"Zachary! I thought I told you not point that object!", Sephiroth shouted at him. Out of surprise, Zack pulled the trigger, hitting Sephiroth in the forehead with a green light.
"Oops…", Zack said. "Um…are you alright, Seph?".
Sephiroth looked down for a while, staring silently at his feet.
"Seph? Oh, I hope I didn't break your brain…", Zack said nervously.
Suddenly, Sephiroth giggled like a child. He stood up and snatched the ray gun away from Zack.
"Lookies what I got! A zappy green light gun!", Sephiroth shouted happily in a child's voice.
"Oh my gosh! I DID break your brain!", Zack exclaimed.
Sephiroth pointed the gun at Zack and pulled the trigger a few times. Zack swiftly hid behind a bookshelf, barely dodging the rays of green light.
"Seph! Put that down!", ordered Zack.
"No!", Sephiroth shouted childishly. "It's mine!".
After pulling the trigger a couple more times, the fire ceased. Zack poked his head out of the side of the bookshelf slowly. Sephiroth was nowhere to be found.
"Great!", Zack said to himself. "I need to find and fix him before Hojo returns! Or I'm in big trouble! ".
