Chapter one

A single drop of green liquid dripped down onto the sand. After the Cetra had freed the Planet from Jenova's hold, people relaxed into their homes. Cloud sighed in relief as he realized that any trace of Jenova was probably gone. He wouldn't get too comfortable, for he knew that Jenova was never truly gone. But he knew there wasn't enough of her to come back.

That's what he thinks.

The small mass of liquid rolled through the sands. Yes, it moved. On it's own. It was microscopic and at the moment, it only had one goal. Find a host and infect it. Without a host, the liquid wasn't a threat, after all. No one would die from getting wet. But this wasn't a normal liquid. It was, in fact, a cluster of Jenova cells that had survived the Cetra's healing rain.

The cluster of cells was Jenova's last chance and she wasn't allowing anyone to stop her. I shouldn't have trusted them in the first place. Sephiroth had been a failure and the remnants too, she should have never trusted them to do her work for her. But they had been eager to please, and she had been lacking a body. She hadn't had much of a choice.

The alien cells moved quickly through the sands towards the crowd of people. A new host in sight.

Brianna O'Reilly sat down on top of her towel and sighed loudly, "Ah, GAry isn't this fun?" she asked. Gary looked over to her and smiled before throwing an ice cube her way. Brianna screamed as it landed on her legs, "Gary! Don't do that!" she shouted. Her anger was short lived and she ended up laughing, "Throw me a beer."

Gary took out a bottle filled with a yellowish liquid, "You better drink it all." he said, "That's one of the last ones we have." He tossed her the bottle and she caught it.

"We can always get more." she said as she found a bottle opener, "And so what if I don't drink it all?"

"Don't be wasteful Bri." Gary joked as he opened his own body.

Brianna took a sip of her drink and set it down, "I need to tan." she sighed, "I'm so pale."

"Yeah, like those freaky goth kids at school." Gary laughed.

"Don't be so mean to them," Brianna said, "Because when they come to school with guns, you'll be their first target."

"Shut up Bri." Gary rolled his eyes and looked out towards the ocean. He rambled on about how monsters used to come out of the ocean but Brianna stopped listening. She was suddenly feeling sick.

"Oh man Gary, there's something wrong with that beer." she coughed.

"Bri, you're a light head you know that?" Gary rolled his eyes and continued talking.

Bri grasped her throat and coughed, why did it burn so much? This wasn't the first time she had a beer and this had never happened before, "Gary, my throat hurts." she whined.

"Yeah, this beer isn't that great." Gary shook his bottle and took another sip, "Never trust foreign beer."

"I don't think that's it." Brianna said as a tingling sensation washed over her entire body. She raised a hand to her head and started to pull at it, "Get out." she mumbled.

"What the hell?" Gary watched Brianna in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Get it out!" she shouted.

Gary crawled over, "Get what? Is there a bug in your hair?" he asked.

"No. No. NO!" she screamed. Gary looked around and noticed people staring.

"Bri, you're causing a scene." he whispered.

"Maybe." she whispered, "But it's in my head."

"Right, let's go back to our room." Gary said. He lifted her by her shoulders and started towards the hotel, "I guess I shouldn't have given you that beer." Gary mumbled.

"It's not tat! It's not the beer!" Brianna screamed. Gary looked around and entered the hotel lobby.

"Keep quiet." he said. They entered the elevator and Gary immediately pressed 4, "We're almost to our room, then I can help you." Brianna nodded and continued to pull at her hair, "Come on Bri, stop tat." Gary was starting to get concerned. He could remember times when Brianna had gotten crazy after a few drinks, but she'd barely had 2 sips of the beer! Something must have been wrong.

They reached their room and Gary led her to the bed, "Hey, what is it?" he asked, "Tell me." He looked through her hair, "There's nothing in-" he paused. Her hair was changing the golden blonde was greying into a shining silver, "Bri? Your hair." Gary watched breathlessly as Brianna's hair changed.

He lifted her head and looked into her eyes. They were changing too, "Bri, what's happening to you?" he asked in horror, "You're turning into one of those remnants." he said. He recalled the 3 men who'd came into edge a few months ago and kidnapped the children. His little brother had been kidnapped too.

"Gary?" Brianna said weakly. She stood up and blinked, "I don't know what's happening." Bluish green wisps floated from her body and faded into the sky, "But I know I love you." she whispered before collapsing to the ground.

"Bri?" Gary grabbed her and shook her, "Bri? What's wrong with you?" He received no answer, "Bri?"

"Stop screaming in my ear." Brianna answered. Gary sighed in relief before sitting the girl up.

"Is this some joke Bri? Because it's not funny." Gary said.

Brianna looked up at him and smiled. Gary slowly backed away as he noticed how uncharacteristically evil the smile was, "Bri?" he whispered.

"No. I'm not Bri anymore. Your girlfriend or whatever is gone forever." Gary narrowed his eyes.

"What? Stop messing around Bri." he said.

"Brianna is dead." she said coldly, "And if you don't leave, you will be to." Gary back away from her.

"Bri, whenever you're ready to stop this joke, i'll be on the beach." he hurried out of the room and slammed the door behind him.

The cluster of cells had found a host and the process of taking over had beens surprisingly easy, "It's good to walk again." she said. Brianna O' Reilly had become Jenova's new host.

Jenova walked around the room in her new body. It was perfect. Her body was fit and skinny. She was probably fast too. She spotted a mirror and looked at it, her hair was curled and her eyes were a nice violet shade, "Oh boy, I'm hot." Jenova said. Her eyebrows rose at the comment. She would have never said that had she been in Sephiroth's body. Of course he's only been thinking to please her so she couldn't be affected by any of his thoughts.

Jenova frowned, she wasn't sure if she liked the thought of Brianna's previous personality affecting her. "I suppose I should have put more thought into this." she said to herself. She ran her hand over her abdomen, "I'll adjust." she said. Even though Brianna's soul had been cleared from the body, she had very little control over it. She wondered briefly if she would have the same abilities she'd had in Sephiroth's body. This human hadn't been born with her cells like Sephiroth and his remnants.

She decided to do a quick check. As an alien she'd been able to teleport, but that was awhile ago and she couldn't quite remember how to do it. She'd had a wide variety of abilities but now that she thought about it, it might be a while before she could use them again. She would have to hope that she didn't run into any enemies before her abilities were restored.

A chill ran through her body and she frowned. She was cold and the only thing Brianna had on was a bright blue bikini. She wasn't sure how humans could wear such skimpy things but she wouldn't complain. After all for the last 2,000 years, she had been completely naked.

Jenova stretched her arms and looked around for something to wear. She spotted a large black sweater on the bed and she put it on. It was probably Gary's but it would do until she could find some normal clothes.

She sat down on the bed and thought, she needed to get to the Forgotten City. From there she would be able to put her plan in action. She hadn't exactly worked out the mechanics of the situation but once she got to the Forgotten City, she would be able to. "But if I can't teleport..." she frowned, what was she to do? She couldn't just walk there, she was all the way in... Where was she? There was a beach and she was sure she'd seen the name of the resort on the side of the hotel.

Jenova left the room and decided to steal a car. She herself had never driven one, but maybe she could draw from Brianna's experiences.

As she stepped out onto the beach, she saw Gary sitting down where he was before Brianna's little episode. She smiled as he turned to her, his face the picture of confusion as he watched what used to be his girlfriend walk away.

She hurried down the path and bumped into a boy. She recognized him, well Brianna did, but that wasn't the point. Maybe she could use this kid. She needed a partner and was more then willing to find the last bits of Sephiroth's soul to stuff into this child. "Bri! Want to play ball with me?" the boy asked. Jenova glared down at him. The young boys smile melted away instantly, "Sorry lady, I uh thought you were somebody else." he scurried away and Jenova chuckled. She liked scaring kids.

She walked a little further before she remembered what she wanted to do with the boy. She searched Brianna's fragments of memory for the boys name, "Anthony!" she called, The boy looked over to her, a smile grew onto his face and he rushed over.

"Oh Bri, I thought you were mad at me. For a second you looked different." Anthony said, "You still do."

"Yeah, alcohol does this to you." she shrugged, "Want to get some ice cream?"

"Yeah, let me get my clothes on." Anthony dropped his ball and ran towards the hotel. She frowned as she noticed how slow he was. Did she really want some slow little kid following her around? It might be hazardous, but at any time she could leave him behind. It didn't matter to her.

Someone tapped her shoulder and she turned around. In her face was her biggest enemy, more so then Cloud strife and his gang, "Minerva..." she breathed angrily, "Hw did you."

"It was clear that Minerva had taken on a human body as well. Although she might not have done it the same way she had, it was basically the same thing, "How original of you." she found herself wondering.

Minerva ran a hand through her hair, a move that caused Jenova to roll her eyes, and smiled. Her smile was so w=sweet it made Jenova want to throw up, "Really, you've damaged my planet enough." Her voice was oddly cold despite the warm smile on her face, "Did you really think I would give you another chance to harm it?"
