KINGDOM HEARTS: BEFORE CRISIS
Author's note: Yes, I'm starting yet another one because I'm feeling all whacked out right now. This story will be similiar to my recently completed one "Kingdom Hearts: Crisis Core" and well...it's complicated.
I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Type-0, Sailor Moon or Pokemon.
Prologue: What the future would be like?
εγλ-0009...Set one month after the events of "Sailor Moon: Calling"...
Healen Lodge remained the same as it had for the past two years and four months. The mountains still surrounded the small housing lodges that were once vacation resorts for the ShinRa Staff, now were used as homes for those who lost their homes in Midgar since the Fateful Day two years ago. Among them were Rufus ShinRa who decided to remain here until the new ShinRa HeadQuarters was built and completed in Edge, and his Turks, now included a fifth original member after the Caius incident one month earlier, the man who had been the cause of the Kadaj Incident and the GMO plus Dahaka incidents.
On the wooden verranda of the main Lodge near the wooden stairs, were three of the President's Turks; Reno, the red-haired second in Command, 26 years of age and former holder of the eighth and final spirit from the future of the 25th Century, his partner and best friend Rude, a non-haired man with a small beard, 29 years of age and always wears sunglasses, and finally, Arien, a white-haired young woman 24 years of age, and had just recently returned to the Turks after last month's incident and adventure. She was also once Reno's rookie-his first, to be exact.
Tseng and Elena were out in Junon with Rufus with a meeting of Reeve Tuesti at the moment, so it was just the three of them, gazing out at the sun set behind the waterfall mountains.
"Man, talk about another crazy year." Reno was saying, one knee drawn up to his chest and his right arm resting on top of it. "I thought two years ago was bad enough."
"It was eventful this year because of all of the crazy time travelling." Arien pointed out with a shrug, as she sat to Reno's left, yer blue eyes shining in the sunlight.
"Similiar thing happened two years ago, with Sailor Moon and Mickey Mouse." Rude said in agreement, thinking about the two young warriors from the future of who knows when.
Reno quirked an eyebrow at this. To think that the incident this time involved time-travelling; three times, to be exact. First was Kadaj's group wanting to kill both Sailor Moon and Mickey who had by then in the future met up in their same present and became an offical team with many old and new friends. Second them was an enemy whom only Mickey once fought. That time was when Reno had a troubled reunion with an old friend whom he had forgotten, then remembered through painful memories, and then had lost when that said friend sacrificed himself. The third and final time, was some crazed man who wanted to change the future and destroy time.
"You mean with Ultimecia?" Arien asked, blinking in confusion.
"You really have alotta catchin' up to do, squirt." Reno said, and smirked when his former rookie scolded at him for the comment he used to call her and to this day, still used. "The SeeDs from Balamb Garden were the ones handling the situation with Ultimecia who wanted to control everything."
"While Cloud and the others fought against ShinRa and Sephiroth." Rude added.
"And both those situations, Sailor Moon, Mickey, and that Lizard guy Loren, all three of them were helping both SeeDs and Cloud's gang to save the world." Reno concluded, gazing out at the scenary again. "Saving the Lifestream and Kingdom Hearts."
(~Memories with Lucrecia-DIRGE OF CERBERUS FINAL FANTASY VII~)
"Guess I do need to catch up..." Arien finally admitted after a few moments, before sighing. Come to think of it, so much has happened and even though she missed out on the two adventures before the one she herself got caught up in, the one that had her reunite with her friends whom she hasn't seen in two years. She then thought to herself outloud, "Today makes the 9th Anniversary." with a small smile.
The two older Turks glanced at her with confused glances, with Reno asking, "What's that about?"
Arien's smile grew slightly wider, as she answered as a reminder to her two superiors, "It's been nine years, since I got promoted into the Turks. Time flies so quickly."
"Still remember that little party of yours, huh?" Reno chuckled, remembering all too well of the welcoming party when Arien had passed the Turk training all those years ago. Mentally, he was really surprised that today was nine years exactly since his rookie became a Turk.
"Well, duh. I've worked so hard in training to become a Turk, since it's been my dream when I was six years old." Arien rolled her eyes at her obnoxious former mentor. "When I first came to ShinRa, I was just a sixteen year old kid."
"And your training was with Reno." Rude smirked.
Reno closed his eyes in mock exasperation, "Right, that first week, you had no idea on alotta things." before smirking again and gave Arien a friendly smack on the back between the girl's shoulder blades, "But c'mon, you're still kind of a kid!"
"Look who's talking, big meanie!" Arien pouted half-sarcastically, "You haven't changed a bit!"
"She's right, you know." Rude's smirk grew as well.
Reno just gave his two friends his infamous cheshire-cat grin before the three of them shared a good-hearted laugh. It was just like old times; When they would hang out together, sharing a laugh, go on missions that did not involve killing, kidnapping, stealing, or other things none of them missed. They, along with all of their Turks and former Turks, were more than just friends or allies; They were family.
Half an hour after that, Reno was now lying on his back, his hands clamped together behind his head, just relaxing. The other two still sat beside him. It was a comfortable silence, one that they missed in doing. It made them think about a lot of things.
Though one thought brought the other two out of their thoughts.
"I wonder how Sailor Moon and her friends are doing?" Arien couldn't help but ask.
"You mean, in the future?" Reno asked, and when Arien nodded to confirm that, the redhead shrugged, saying, "I'm sure they're fine."
He then sat up back into his original postion and continued, somewhat a little sadly, "I mean, it's not like we're gonna be there by the time they are born or anythin'. We'll be long gone by then."
Though while this was true, Reno, who had come to dislike those who had actually saved the world, had now accepted the said those as allies...and even friends. Yes, Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Vincent, Cid, Barret, Red XIII(Nanaki), Zack and Aerith were friends who lived here in the present...Reno had to admit, he missed the friends from the future; Sailor Moon and her allies.
"But...don't you ever wonder...What the future would be like?" Arien pointed out, finding herself that, ever since the Caius incident, she found herself questioning on what the future Sailor Moon's group hail from was or would really be like. "About things that might change in maybe millions of years from now."
"'Course not." Reno shook his head, and he meant it. "Why borther thinking about that kind of future when you know that it's clearly impossible to live that long..."
He then paused, before remembering that one of them might be able to live until that time, then the redhead continued, "Unless you're like Vincent. Besides, I bet the Sailor Team came from the future from like, what, a hundred years or five hundred? No way they'd be from the future from thousands of years from now."
In retrospect, that was where Reno was wrong. But only the said Sailor Team would know about this.
"You don't know that for sure." Rude interjected to the redhead, before nodding in agreement to Reno's earlier statement, "But you're right-We'll never know what their future is like."
"Guess you're right." Arien sighed, disappointed. As much as it irked her to admit it, they were right. She felt silly for asking and thinking such a thing and she had no intentions of travelling forward through time or living forever. That just takes the fun out of everything. It was better to leave things as they are without those sort of things.
"Besides, why worry about that future when we have ours to worry about?" Reno added with a shrug, once more gazing out at the almost gone sun-set, as the sky began to take on the hue of pink and purple as twilight covered the sky, the early signs of stars beginning to show and twinkle, making this a breath-taking sight. "Let Sailor Moon and her friends worry about theirs."
When met with silence, Reno concluded with a knowing smile, believing that they can all still live in spirits and memories, "As long as we're at least in their memories, we're alive in their eyes in their world."
His friends nodded, not borther arguing as they knew that he was right. As long as their friends that hailed from the future always remembered them, the former AVALANCHE and everyone else here in the past, they would continue to exist and continue to live. Who knows? Maybe they can aid Sailor Moon and her friends in spirit if she needed their help for many other trials that lied before her and everyone else in the future. (~End Memories with Lucrecia~)
Yet none of them realising that even Reno's statement about this was wrong, because their future would be the same future as those in the far off future.
Little did they and the heroes who defeated Ultimecia and Sephiroth know, as they all passed on peacefully, the War that shattered the world and the Lifestream into separate worlds, Kingdom Hearts sleeps in the Darkness, the Lifestream sleeps in a world full of light.
Thus...those who existed before the war...were reborn with no memories, just like Princess Serena and her people. However...when they began life in the new world of the Midgar ruins...little did they know...they were rebuilding ShinRa. Thus...the Turks were reborn.
