Ok. A friend of mine said she doesn't like stories with Original Characters, so this is my attempt to write a story without an important OC. Of course, I cannot claim I did not have any OCs, because, technically, the random scientists and assistants are OCs, but whatever...
This takes place a little while after Advent Children.
Please Enjoy! If you don't, feel free to criticize, it's actually appreciated for this experiment (tho I would prefer if it was constructive).

He couldn't move. He'd been alright when he was fighting Cloud, why could he suddenly not move?
Mother?
He couldn't hear her.

It started to rain after a little while, and he winced as the droplets hit his face, hard. He barely registered the sound of footsteps in his semiconscious state.

"Don't be that way," the voice chuckled, coming closer, "We've only just met. And I want to get to know you better." Suddenly, there was a hand grasping his jaw, forcefully twisting it around, baring his neck. "Now, this will only hurt a bit…" the voice assured him in a sickeningly false caring voice.
He couldn't move, and shuddered inwardly as a needle stabbed into his neck, a chill numbing spreading through him from the stab point.
Mother? He called into the darkness as he lost consciousness. Where did you go?
