Vincent Valentine was just your average Turk on his first assignment. He didn't expect anything interesting for a first mission. But was he surprised when he got the briefing that he'd be guarding a top-secret bio weapon! He entered the Shinra building lobby and gave the clerk his information.
"So you're Vincent Valentine, eh? Heh, looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Well, follow me." Greeted the secretary while she sifted through Vincent's paperwork.
"Excuse me?" Vincent questioned, not sure how to respond to such an uncouth secretary. The secretary didn't respond, merely got up from her desk and led Vincent to a heavily guarded room.
"Inside is the experiment you'll be guarding. Careful though, she's a real looker. Don't do anything I wouldn't!" The secretary snickered, pushing Vincent inside and slamming the door.
"Excuse me?!" Vincent instinctively yelled, only to be met with silence. After straightening his tie, (nervous habit) Vincent looked around the room he was forced into. It was full of life-support systems, computers, heart-monitors, and other equipment Vincent couldn't even begin to describe. Connected to all this stuff, (for lack of a better word) was a giant tube filled to the brim with mako. Contained in this vat of mako, was a beautiful woman.
She had celery green hair that floated around her, making her look like a celestial being. Her eyes were obscured under her bangs, but according to the reports and rumors floating around, that was probably a good thing. She was naked except for the skimpy two-piece bathing suit and IV's jammed in her body. She was curled up in a protective ball.
Vincent's thought process completely halted the moment he saw her. His vision blurred out everything except the girl in the tube. His heart pounded in his chest. His face grew hot. Vincent blinked and shook his head. He got a hold of himself and mentally slapped himself. He then chalked that experience up to male hormones reacting to a pretty lady.
Little did he know, that the girl saw him and experienced the same thing.
Vincent walked up to the tank and pressed his hand up against the glass. He tried to look into the woman's eyes, but she quickly shut them and looked away. An odd reaction…
"Now… What's your name?" Vincent mumbled to himself, looking for a nametag or cereal number. The woman pointed to a desk where a dictionary-thick portfolio sat. Vincent walked over to it and read out loud,
"'Project Violet'… so your name's Violet?" the woman nodded, giving the Turk a small invisible smile.
"You can hear me, can't you Violet?" Vincent asked her. Then he mentally slapped himself again.
"No duh, Vince... of course she can hear you!" He scorned himself. Violet nodded despite Vincent's mental beating. She suddenly looked past Vincent and looked very scared.
"I see you've met the experiment..." Came a cold and unfeeling voice from behind Vincent.
Vincent whipped around and saw the source of the voice was a man in his early 30's. He had cold violet eyes and a sinister smirk. His hair was slicked back and brown: a sign of tidiness. His glasses glinted green from the glow of mako coming from the tank.
"Yes… this experiment is the oldest in Shinra history. I've come to wonder if it's even worth the effort. But president Shinra is very fond of it, so I have no room to complain." The man carelessly stated. Vincent didn't like this person; he gave off a questionable aura.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" He asked. The man blinked at Vincent slowly, then he chuckled into his hand and responded.
"Please excuse my late introduction. I am Dr. Kariya, the scientist in charge of this experiment. You must be the new recruit." Kariya held out his hand for Vincent to shake. Vincent cautiously took his hand and shook it. He then introduced himself.
"Yes, that's correct. My name is Vincent Valentine. I am honored to be working with you, Dr. Kariya." Dr. Kariya hummed and turned to Violet.
"It's time for the experiment's endurance run. Would you mind stepping aside?" He asked. Vincent had failed to realize he had been standing protectively in front of Violet's container. He nodded and stepped aside.
Dr. Kariya punched in the activation code for the drain effect and stood back. The mako slurped and swirled around in the tank. Violet moved her delicate fingers to her ears. She must have heard it better than the two men, after all, you can hear better in liquid than gasses.
The mako quickly drained from the vat and left Violet dangling from the IV's in her body. Dr. Kariya removed the IV's carefully and let her plop down on the ground. She made an inaudible squeak of pain, but it didn't take long for Violet to regain her lost footing. She then started walking to a door on the other side of the room.
"I assume you want to watch, Mr. Valentine? You are her guard, after all. You'll have to get acquainted with its power sooner or later." Kariya hinted walking towards the door Violet went through. Vincent followed and saw Violet warming up. She stretched much farther than any contortionist could possibly go. She did a couple dance moves to loosen up her muscles then walked up to the starting point.
"Are you ready, Project Violet?" Kariya asked. Violet nodded.
"Good. On your mark… get set… go!" Kariya yelled. He set off a gun at the word 'go' then the test began.

AN: okay, first official chapter is up. now for the reviews!
The Common Wind Deity: thank you for your support. I wasn't sure if I was doing something everyone would like. I mean, doccument format is kinda weird to start off with... I thought the whole FF crossover would be fun because they have a lot of refferences to FFVII in FFX-2. I'm getting to the relationship part. can't rush love, y'know?
Tempi-chan: I-I'm sorry. I think I fixed it. if you look back on the new character info, I made it a bit more forshadowing... at least someone's reading the stats this time.
