Alone?
In the hills outside of Midgar a figure stands on the top of a hill, over looking the broken city below. This figure is far from human, having small black feathery wings protruding from their back, pointy elf-like ears, pointy claws, and long black fox-like tail that almost reaches the ground. Long strands of shiny black hair fall to their back and sleek, glistening purple eyes gaze off into the distance.
"Man the days are just flying by...I can't seem to find enough time to do anything". The figure sighs shoulders drooping in defeat. "It's even worst..when you're all alone...ugh!", pulling at their hair slightly agitated. "I know one things for sure, talking to yourself usually isn't a good sign.Well that is unless your skitzo and find odd enjoyment out of talking to your demons. Next thing you know I'll be one of those people. She frowns at the thought, shaking her head to clear her mind of unnecessary and quite frankly, a little disturbing musings.
"Are you really all alone...have you no one to call friend or family?", a mysterious and obviously male voice asks her.
She turns around gasping in surprise."I'm rethinking that last thought...", she thinks slightly amused, but more alarmed than anything. "Who's...who's there?", she asks looking around and seeing not a soul in sight.
"So you can hear me, that's a good sign I suppose. No ones ever been able to hear me before. Maybe if you concentrate hard enough you'll be able to see me as well. Don't be afraid...just try, ok?" the mysteroius male urges abviously trying not to scare her away.
She agrees a little ruluctantly. " ...alright, I'll try. I'll do anything to prove I'm not going crazy, Although I'm not sure if this proves it or disproves it.", she starts concentrating on her surroundings, but still only sees nothing but the rocky hills and mountains beyond and a rusty buster sword nearby. "It's not working. I still don't see you.", she says looking a little frustrated.
"Try a little harder...I know you can do it.", he beckons almost pleadingly.
"...and how would you now that?" she replies a little annoyed. "What I really wanted to say though was something a little rude and maybe slightly over the top. Like, what makes you think I want to see you or how do I know that you're not some evil spirit waiting to devour my soul or something like that", she thought wondering if it would be better to walk away and go see a shrink. She was interrupted from her thought however by his reply.
"I just have a gut feeling about this...and I always listen to what my gut tells me. So won't you try again please?", he says making sure to put emphasis on the 'please'.
She sighs crosing her arms, expression set into that of a scowl. "Fine,...I'll give it one more try.", With her eyebrows furrowed in concentratation, she send her energy to her eyes knowing that if anything is really out there she'd find it best this way. This time, to her extreme joy and surprise, she finds what, or more accurately who, she's looking for. "You're real. I wasn't just going crazy, ...then again...", she says tapping her chin in thought.
"Hehehehe,...no you're not crazy.", he chuckles amused. "See I told you you could do it. You just have to believe in yourself that 's all.", he smiles at her confused expression.
Sitting a few feet from her and leaning on the old rusty buster sword is where she found the man. His eyes are that of a dusty brown color and his hair is black, long and spiky; almost as if a large black hedgehog was sitting on his head. Judging by his armor and build she assumes him to be a soldier, but not your average soldier. He seemed different in some way...special. His eyes seemed to be very bright and glow and sparkle by some unknown force. His form was ghost-like, transparent, but far from scary since his appearance seem closer to that of an angel. (Author Note: That all can be sumed up a lot easier than that. Here it is: Hehot. XD Ahem, alright that's enough of that, back to the story).
"Who are you? Why are you here? ...and, more importantly, what are you?", she asks obviously wondering why she can see through him.
He laughs a little overwhelmed by all the questions. "You have many questions I see. Well,...I guess I can answer all of them. I died a few years ago at this very spot. I was a soldier, you know like the kind that were common when Shinra company was still around; those kind of soldiers. But...", he pauses for a few minutes his eyes flashing with some sort of unknown pain about an unsaid thought. "Anyway, my spirit still lives on within this buster sword here, my buster sword. It's my way of looking after those I've left behind in this world, to make sure they're happy...", he gives her a sad smile before turning his head in the direction of the city below, Midgar.
"I see,...ummmm,...do they live in Midgar?", she a ask trying not to upset him.
"Yes,...some do...".
"Hmm, interesting...but...you known you still haven't told me your name."
He turns his eyes back to her. "My name...is Zack.", he says smiling.
"It's nice to meet you Zack...hmmmm, Zack.", she repeats trying it out. "That's a nice name, it suit you", she say returning the smile.
"Why thank you." He pauses before asking his next question. "May I ask you your name?"
She shuffles her feet nervously, embarrassed for forgetting to introduce herself. "My name is..."
"You must be lonely to talk to yourself like that.", says the newcomer behind her over a loud rubbling sound.
She turns around quickling getting in a fighting stance. "Who are you?", she replies a little startled that she didn't sense them...yes them. (Authors Note: If you can't figure out what I mean by that than you're a noob, hehe. 3)
Before her now are three unknown teenager sitting on large black motorcycles. The one that spoke to her is dressed in a long black leather coat and pants and has mysterious glowing green eyes and shoulder length silver hair. The figure to his right has the same appearance but his hair goes down to about mid-back. The third figure, who sits to the left of the first figure, also wear black leather but it is a body suit and his silver hair is cut very short and spiky. On his arm rest a a stun gun that looks like it would double as a shield.
"Hmmm, I never would have pegged her as someone insane. She looks pretty intelligent...though, do you have any idea what she is brother?", another newcomer asks with an amused and slightly bored expression.
"Let's play with her. We'll have some fun until nii-san get's here. She looks like she can fight, so it won't be over to quick." The third newcomer smirks cracking his knuckles.
"Not if I shoot her.", the previous speaker says holding up his gun and smirking.
"Hey! No fair Yazoo!", the other one replies childishly frowning at his brother.
"Don't cry Loz.", the one named Yazoo replies mockingly before grinning evilly and putting his gun away. The one named Loz however didn't like the comment very much and is trying his best to not to cry in front of his brothers.
She glares slightly annoyed by the fueding brothers. "You never told me who you are.", she says pointing to the only unknown figure before her, the one that addressed her first.
"Hehehehehehe,...my name...is Kadaj.". He replies smirking arrogantly.

Athours Note:
Taiyo-no-Kuro: Ha! Xd I just love Advent Children, especially in Japanese, I'd have to say it's quite lacking in the English version in voice acting and even in subtitles. They make no sense in the English version! All FFVII fans know what I'm talking about. Well, this is mearly my opinion so don't try to cut my head if you think otherwise. Hmph. Ja ne. 3
