Disclaimer: The characters I write about in this story are not owned by me. Squaresoft owns them. The story, however, came from my demented mind. Yay!

A/N: This is the first fan fiction story I ever wrote. It's kind of old, but I still want to finish it. I've done 9 chapters as of yet, and will continue it if I get some good reviews. And, oh yeah.. Please read and review. Thanks. ---------------- ---------------- --------------- --------------- ------ ----------

Chapter One

"Please pass that to me, Father." Marlene asked Barrett. "Damn, you quit teaching my girl that 'formal' language? It's stupid!" Barrett screamed at Red XIII. "That is exactly it. Formal. You teach her that idiotic slang, and you expect her to succeed in life?" Red beamed back. Barrett turned, speechless as he stormed to the basement. Tifa walked in with a bag. "Hello everybody!" Tifa yelled excitedly. "Well, anyway, may I have my spear?" asked Cid, trying to ignore Tifa's over enthusiasm. "Yes, here is your spear, Cid, your sword, Cloud..." and she distributed the weapons. Tifa had grown a little older since the fall of Shinra. So had Cid, Barrett, and everybody else except Cloud. The JENOVA cells and the Mako seemed to keep him young looking.

Yuffie had been missing for about three month's and no one felt the need for searching for her. They just figured that she had gone back to be with her father in Wutai. There is a new growing company called 'The New Turks'. Reno as the leader, and Elena and Rude by his side, and another mysterious person joined with them. There had been rumors of a new and dangerous materia called "Shole". Shole had the power to summon all, use all magic, and resurrect the dead, no matter what happened to them.

"We interrupt this broadcast for a news bulletin..." "Look. It's Reno!" exclaimed Tifa excitedly. "...and take you to the Wall Market near the ruins of the sector seven slums to where Reno plans to hold a very important speech." "I wonder what that jackass is up to now." Cid said staring at the television. "Hello. My name is Reno. You probably know me. There have been rumors of the rebuilding of the sector seven slums and, yes, those rumors are in fact true. We have raised the sufficient funds for this project, and have enough workers..." "What ever it is, it's no good if it has the name 'Turk' on it." Cloud responded to Cid. "Are there any questions I can answer for you?" "Um, Reno, is it true you are searching for the materia named 'Shole'?" "No. In fact, the materia is a myth. A so called wives tail." A mysterious person, wearing a dark cloak, walked onto the stage. "I recognize that body..." Cloud said. "And what a body!" exclaimed Cid. "Who funded this project, sir?" Reno paused for a minute. "No more questions." And the mystery person escorted him off stage. "He is definitely the most psychotic person I have ever seen." Red looked at Barrett. "Of course, I could be wrong." "I think He has got other plans for sector 7." Barrett said trying to ignore Red's comment.
