This is only the prologue cuz it's too short to be chapter one. It takes place one year after Advent Children, and since I never played Dirge of Cerberus, nothing that happened in it will be included in this story. Except possibly the town of Edge, I did start the game.

Rufus Shinra crept down the pitch black cave. His only source of light was a tiny flashlight attached to the top of his gun, which had been raised and ready to fire since he entered the cavern. Most of his injuries from Diamond Weapon's attack on Midgar had healed. He had a scar over his left eye but that was about it. His white suit was stained with dirt, mud and blood. Not his. Monsters that had attempted to make a meal out of him. It was torn in many places. His black leather shoes tapped against the cold cave floor as he continued on down the tunnel. Suddenly, he saw light ahead of him. Not the white light of an exit, but an eerie green glow. He smirked. He had found it. His pace quickened, and soon became a sprint. The green light raced toward him. It was getting larger as he grew closer. Rufus came to a stop as he entered a large circular chamber. In the center of the chamber was a massive hole that took up more of the room. The hole seemed endless. Emitting from the hole was a strange green mist. The mist was very visible, and seemed to be surrounding a green beam of light which was also coming out of the hole. Rufus circled the hole, gazing up at it in wonderment. He'd finally found it.
Suddenly he frowned. Were those footsteps he had just heard? No one else was here, at least no one he knew of. Cautiously, he raised his gun again. The footsteps came again, this time closer.
"Who's there?" Rufus called out, looking around.
He was now on the opposite side of the chamber, staring at the entrance to the chamber through the green light. He saw a figure drawing closer. He pointed his gun and fired. The bullet disintegrated in the light. He hadn't expected anything less, he just wanted this person to know he wasn't afraid to fire. The person didn't hesitate at all. He, or she, just continued walking toward him. Suddenly, Rufus became aware that the person was carrying a sword.
"I'm warning you," Rufus said, trying not to let any trace of worry enter his voice. "I'm not afraid to shoot you!"
The person ignored him and entered the chamber. For a moment, nothing happened. The person merely stood opposite him, his identity still hidden by the beam of light between them. Suddenly, the figure lashed out and came straight through the beam. Rufus felt a hand wrap around his throat. His scream never left the chamber...
