"I think it's the green one."
"Are you sure it's the green one?"
"No, not 100. But I think it probably is."
"Are you SURE it's the green one?"
"I just said I'm not fucking sure, it's just what I think."
Two figures were bent over a complicated-looking tangle of wires in the back of a futuristic looking machine ( Yes, yes, I know it's a sucky description, but bear with me here). One of them was wearing a welding mask and clutching a "Mechanics For Dummies" book. The other figure was leaning over the first, carefully examining the nest of wires, a welding flame in hand. The figure with the mask nervously eyed the many wires on the table, then stared helplessly at the figure with the welding flame. The figure sighed irritably and shoved the flame into the hand not holding the book. "Oh for Christ sakes, you're so fucking indecisive Paige." Paige immediately began kneeling on the floor, shrieking. "Eeeeeeeeee, eeeeeeeeee, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-"
"PAIGE, SHUT UP AND FIX THE DAMN WIRE!"
"Ok...I'm cool...it's all cool. Alright..." Paige carefully connected the two broken ends of a long green wire the other figure had pointed out. The two of them stared at the wire. The other figure sighed, and turned the flame on. Paige stood bend over the wire for a few seconds before standing up with a triumphant grin on her face. "I fixed the wire!" she cried happily. The figure did not respond, as it was intently looking at the screen of the futuristic device, which had come to life as soon as Paige and repaired the wire. Paige went over to the speaker and leaned her ear against it. She could very faintly hear the audio coming from it, and it was soon apparent from the look on her face that she did not like at all what she was hearing. "Danya...are these on The List?" Danya turned toward Paige slowly, then suddenly rushed toward the speaker. The audio was getting a little louder now, and she could easily recognize the various dialog coming from it.
"It's good to see you, Cloud."
"Wait! I sense a jewel shard coming this way!"
"DON'T CALL ME A SHRIMP!"
"Nooooo, I don't wanna go to the same school as that damn rat!"
The screen on the device was suddenly flooded with white light, and the speaker became silent. The girls looked at each other in long silence. Danya turned off the speaker and slowly slid down the wall so that she was sitting on the floor. Paige stared at her a moment longer before saying accusingly, "You said it was the green one."
Cloud raised his sword for an attack, but a blinding white light suddenly blocked his vison. He froze, straining to see his opponent. But Sephiroth was not concentrating on him. He was staring at the source of the light with a look of bewilderment on his face. Cloud followed his gaze, not believing what he was seeing. The very air around them seemed to be ripping apart and disintegrating, revealing many large dark objects that he couldn't quite make out in the brightness. The light was slowly becoming more intense each passing moment. Cloud buried his head in his arms, shielding his eyes. It then came to his attention that the ground beneath his feet seemed to have changed completely. He could also sense that the air had gotten considerably warmer. He slowly raised his head, looking around him in shock. The entire terrain had changed. Midgar had completely disappeared. In its place stood and empty street with houses spawning in every direction. Cloud stood staring at this unexpected turn of events for quite some time before remembering Sephiroth. He whirled around, quickly swiping his hand near the ground and retrieving his...stick? The dried out branch that had mysteriously taken the place of his sword immediately snapped in half in his hand. With no way to fight or to defend himself, he looked up at Sephiroth in growing horror, trying to find a way to retreat. But it seemed that Sephiroth was in the same predicament. He stood blinking at his hands, which until recently had been wielding his sword, but now were clutching thin air. He turned toward Cloud, a sadistic smile replacing the look of confusion. "So, what's this you've conjured up, hm?"
"I didn't have anything to do with it!" Cloud snapped at him. Before either of them could say anything else, a scream girlish glee rang out from behind them. They whirled around in alarm to find themselves facing a large cluster of teenage girls. It only took a glance to know that something was very wrong with them. Their arms and necks were covered in red infected-looking claw marks. Their eyes held an unhealthy glow. Foam flew in little specs from their mouths as they forcefully exhaled each breath. A small freckle-faced girl with shoulder length brown hair slowly pointed at them and let forth a terrible cry: "HOMGZ, ITS SEPHIROTH!1ONEONE11!"
"You bastard!" InuYasha screamed. He charged at his older brother in blind rage. Before he could attack however, Sesshomaru easily leaped behind him and lifted him up by his throat. He slowly raised his hand for a killing blow. "No! InuYasha! INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed. Then, quite abruptly, InuYasha found himself lying face down on the ground. He could sense some sort of change going on around him, but he was too busy gasping for breath to care. He glared up at his brother, but stopped short at the scene before him. Instead of forest, he was looking at what appeared to be black, frozen soil (its pavement, but he doesn't know what that is : D) leading up to a large, strange looking house. He stole a glance at his brother, who seemed to have no more idea of what was going on than he did. Sesshomaru quickly dismissed these strange surroundings and flexed his fingers. "Lets continue this, shall we?" he stated matter-of-factly. He aimed a poison attack and the same moment InuYasha screamed 'Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Nothing happened. Both brothers stared at their hands in disbelief. InuYasha immediately started panicking. "What the hell? Iron Reaver Soul Stealer! IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" "You're not going to get your powers back by screaming," an irritated voice said behind them. A young, olive-skinned girl was slowly approaching them, coming from the direction of the house. From the distance, it was difficult to guess her age, but she looked around 13-16. She was wearing a plain short-sleeved black shirt and a pair of jeans that were too long for her, with the hems trailing on the ground. She was tying her long brown hair back in a ponytail as she walked toward them, the tips of which appearing to have been dyed purple at closer examination. InuYasha glared at the girl with apparent distrust. "Who the hell are you! You had better start giving me answers before I decided to break a few bones for you!"
"Brother, this human is useless to us. Let us be rid of this insignificant pest." Sesshomaru raised his claws and dramatically flexed them in the girl's direction. Again, the poison attack neglected to work. Sesshomaru blinked as the loss of his demon powers slowly began to dawn on him. "We done yet?" the girl asked angrily "Look, I understand you're probably completely freaked out right now, and maybe if you stop being total assholes, I'll explain everything to you and help you get home." "Oh yeah, and why the hell should we trust you?" InuYasha demanded. The girl opened her mouth to reply, but was immediately cut off by a girlish scream: "H0MGZ, ITS SEPHIR0TH!1ONEONE11!" The girl's expression remained unchanged, but her tone had lost it's anger and had been replaced with fear and urgency. "Get in the house. Now."
