Started this during my eleventh school year but never posted it cause I don't know if people will like it or not...(and I was sorta lazy due to the fact my computer had no word processor on it...)

the idea behind the story was actually requested of me by another person, they asked me to write on the idea what would happen if another jenova creature fell down?

well everything is based after dirge of cerberus and unexpected characters enter the fray that were introduced before the original game and after, well what are ya waiting for? go ahead and read LOL. if you have any queastions ask and please don't flame me...-_-

CHAPTER 01 - Conflicting Stars

Seventh heaven lit up as the barmaiden unlocked the front entrance. Beginning her morning chores of the bar, washing glasses, arranging chairs knocked over by the drunks the night before and wipping of the counter and tables.

"yo mornin' Tifa!" She jumped slightly at the booming voice of her old friend and comerade and gave him a warm smile as the burly man walked over to her, "yo!"

"good morning Berret, what brings you so early? you told Cloud you'd be ere sometime after next week cause of the new servey" He laughed triumply.

"I finish things quick for my Marlene, unlike spiky"

"Daddy?" they both looked at the stairway, Marlene popped her head out around the corner, her face lit with a smile when she say her foster father. She tackled the big man's waist, "You're back!"

"yep...where's Denzel?" Tifa rounded the corner to enter the stairway pushing Denzel from his hiding place. Berret lifted them both up with ease laughing loudly, "so where is spiky?"

"out on delivery to cosmo canyon." Tifa answered resuming her spot behind the counter to wipe some glasses.

"oi, did you hear bout the meteor that crashed a few weeks ago?" Tifa gave him a sceptical look, it's only been a year now that AVALANCHE helped in the assault on OMEGA and Deepground so she worried of another crisis.

"something dangerous?" Berret shook his head and shrugged, " nah bunch of science geeks said a weird substance is inside it and that it...you know what..." Berret stared at tifa dumbstruck. Tifa gave him an odd look till she began laughing, Denzel must have become more nervous then presumed for he began to fidgit to get out of the big man's grasp. After he put the children down they ran away up the stairs the large man scoffed and sat at the counter.

"Tifa, I think Cosmo canyon is whre it's located" Tifa stopped wiping her glass and gave a surprised gaze then looked out her window into the distance. "please be safe"

_XxX_

Dust rose as the casm walls echoed with the roaring engine of the motor cycle, Mako tainted walls only a few feet apart the only way through the large canyon.

"Cloud!" the delivery boy's head turned instinctively to his name and the bike slowed to a quiet stop, "you were much harder to catch then I had presumed"

Nanaki sat down panting after chasing after Cloud for a long time. the casm's exit visible to a large indent in the land's surface. Loud machinery resounding fom it, Cloud lowered his goggles and stood off beside his bike now leaning on it.

"I knew you were headed this way when you delivered that letter." Nanaki looked inthe direction of the crater, thn at the AVALANCHE leader who stared towads the indent. "May I accompany you?"

Cloud seemed to ponder first before nodding putting his bike into park he soon began walking towards the hole with the red beast following close behind. Clouds face hardened as they both approached the craters edge. A large molten stone steame from the center, Scientists ing a large mech to drill into it's surface.

"Excuse me! you shouldn't be here!" Cloud turned a turk was running up the wake towards them.

"this is a restricted-" she made it to them and paused staring at Cloud with a surprised look. "your..."

"what is all this"Cloud cut her off coldly eyeing her from the corner, nanaki sat down. "why is this territory restricted?" The turk glared at them both.

"Shinra has control here"

"no, he doesn't this is red's territory" Cloud hissed at the turk, but not angrily she heard a hint of irritation but to her surprise fear was also lassed with it.

"yes well president shinra"

"isn't staying here" Cloud looked at her fully, she frowned at his persistance.

"leave or I'll..." she pulled out a large weapon similar to yuffie's. Cloud ignored her and stepped forward, in one swift motion he had an iron grip on her wrist.

"you have no idea what your getting yourselves into,leave" His voice came quickly, she ripped her hand from his grip. He turned to Nanaki when the beast cleared it's throat, he watched the boulder with worry.

"something is moving within it" Cloud looked at the meteor.

"what is it?"

"I do not know yet, but-" the moment froze in an instant. No one had a chance to run as the boulder spilled with radiant blue liquid a whisp of energy shot out towards the three.

"Move!" the swordsman moved quickly shoving the beast away, the whisp hit him and went completly through dissapearing into the hirizon.

"Cloud?" Nanamki nudged the ex-soldiers hand, he lay there shakily till he had the strength to raise his head. "where did it..."

he looked around then felt a hand on his shoulder as he slowly got to his feet.

"are you ok?" he shook the turk off and stood up looking around. "it's bubbling..."

the other tw looked at the pool of thick blue liquid threatening to overflow from the crater, bubbles were visible near them. A veny white hand came out of the surface then a fae, it was a scientist now looking more like a zombie.

"what is th-" the turk jumped when another hand broke the surface of the liquid and gripped itself around her ankle, it pulled her to the ground.

"Come join us!" the man's said in a double voice, very demonic like. She struck the hand with her star weapon andit released her from it's grip.

"time to go" she had no time to argue before she was thrown over the blonde man's shoulder and he was running towards his bike.

"what is that stuff!" she yelled watching as more veined scientists begn erupting from the liquid.

"it smells like mako" Nanaki roared as he ran along side Cloud, he threw the turk onto his bike and jumped on himslf starting the engine of his fenrir. "Nanaki get-"

A white blast hit between them knowcking the bike into the wall without losing it's passengers, turning his head he watched as the scientists melded their bodies togerther to create grotesk monsters. Meteria glowed within them as another shot was fired hitting the wall above.

The casm shook, Cloud grabbed the red beast holding under his arms and hit full throttle. it kicked dust up as they began speeding down the now crumbling walls ofthe crevise. Wall cracked bringing a waterfall of dust down on them.

"we're not going to make it!" the bike being pushed to top speed, the wake suddenly opened revealingthe exit.

"Come on!" Cloud growled as they neared.

he flinched as a roar hovered in the air and thelight at the end flickered with a large silouhette.
