Lol. I never, ever imagined that someone would even like this little prologue. I just wrote it for the heck of it, and even then I didn't really plan to write it that way... It just- well, I can't really explain it, but my fingers just flew over the keyboard and there it was. Also, there may be some elements of Bleach in this fic, but there isn't going to really be a real crossover with the series itself. There will just be mentions, like Hollows and so on. But I appreciate those that reviewed. Thanks!

~~Chapter 2. Danger of Life~~

The Lifestream.

Mostly known as "The Beginning of The End".

She is the being that absorbs the ones that recently died, and judges it before either letting it pass onto the afterlife, or letting it remain as a soul doomed to haunt the living world. It is the being that gives life to Gaia and her people, for if there was no Lifestream, the humans, animals and plants alike wouldn't have been able to survive that struggle 2500 years ago. The Lifestream, it is the being that flows with the death and life of everyone, just like a stream that flows through a river of fresh water; hence its name.

People and animals knew about the Lifestream, albeit it isn't really public; and with good reason. It may be because of power, for they were very greedy and didn't want anyone else to know the source of power that is the Lifestream. Others, however, maintained the Lifestream a secret for her safety. They especially knew the insignificance the Lifestream had, for without her the life in Gaia wouldn't exist.

However, one thing that was utterly unknown to everyone, was that the Lifestream wasn't born from Gaia itself, or even a higher being like Kami or even Minerva. No one knew that the Lifestream had been created by a mere mortal, a human.

The fates were strange, were they not?

This particular human didn't even wish for such burden, for such power to be placed inside her; yet, in the end, she had been chosen as Fate's Chosen One. The one who was supposed to either bring piece to the world, or bring the world to utter destruction.

One could say that it was true, in essence.

In her death, this young human had ensured the planet's eternal life, yet she had also ensured the planet's possible destruction.

The balance was impossibly delicate, with one touch of a feather being able to tip the scale into either side. By creating the Lifestream, she had created a way for someone to destroy the entire world.

Shinra Inc weren't the heroes that Midgar thought them to be, if anything, they were the ones that were dooming Midgar and the rest of Gaia.

Every day, Shinra Inc would turn on their reactors, slowly and forcibly sucking energy from the Lifestream, condensing it into Mako Energy and using it for their own purposes; be it to get fame, continue experiments or use it as some measure of power. Slowly, Shinra Inc was killing the Lifestream, and in turn, Shinra Inc was trying killing the rest of Gaia too.

And with the signs of each human with unnatural powers and strength, they were not going to stop any soon. Shinra was too power hungry to stop with a mere warning, they wouldn't even stop by the mentions of their 'morals' since they had lost those the moment they began experimenting on children (babies, fetus, not even born yet).

Such unfortunate act, for they were destroying their own men the moment they simultaneously injected both Jenova cells and the Mako inside them. Only those with wills strong enough to survive the internal struggle were spared, those that didn't were mutated into monsters in effect of the Jenova Cells clashing with the Mako; the former being most of the cause of the monstrous visage.

But at least a tiny itty bit of good came out of Shinra's doings.

With the awakening of Jenova and the seal's weakening, another being would be undoubtably needed in the battle against the abomination.

As long as there is darkness, there is light.

Of course, not everything can be okay within the blink of an eye. For now, both sides are preparing themselves for the upcoming battles, each with their own warriors. Time is essential for them, since they need each second to get stronger to battle against each other.

But first, let's start from the beginning, from the moment Shinra first used their mortal fingers to touch the Lifestream, who was still connected to a slumbering and supposedly dead human.

With the very contact of their chakra, it had caused a ripple throughout the surface of the Lifestream, invisible to all but the higher beings. The ripples of jarry energy reached towards the slumbering soul, still jailed inside the protection of the cocoon Minerva had encased her in.

"Watch out! You are going to fall in!"

"W-What is this green goo? I-I-It burns! AAAHHHH!"

A pair of emerald eyes cracked open groggily.

End of this short chappie. I am sorry if this is not as satisfactory as the previous chapter... X-X And sorry, but I changed the previous chapter a bit, putting Minerva instead of Kami or Shinigami... Sorry for that.

I know that it could be a bit short, but these are just like extra 'prologues', mostly since I have a lot of past events to cover before the original events come to place. Sorry if some of you are 'mad' (are you? O.o) about this... I am thinking about making this story different, that is until the main events come to happen anyway. Maybe little one shots to show the past? Some of them may not be in present lol. I am just going to write the ones that really pop in my mind.

I didn't really think about continuing this story further than just a little prologue, since it was to get an annoying plot bunny out of my mind, but well, I guess all the reviews really motivated me... O-O

Some events that I don't know, like the first time Shinra discovered the Lifestream and Mako, are going to be created on the spot. If there is anything wrong, please tell me! Well, this can be considered an AU since I may change some events... I really like Final Fantasy VII, but I haven't really played the game, just watched some videos and movies, along with searching Wiki and reading fics. Lol.

Still needing help with the 'partner' thing! Because of Tia-Mia Kit's little mention of the subject, there is a little idea of a little harem. I admit (with all the shame I can master) that I didn't really think of a harem... X-X I am such a stupid, single-minded idiot. U-U So, I need all of your opinions: Should there be a (small) harem or just a single couple. I am hesitating on stepping in the boundaries of the world of harem. U-U I may not have problems with a harem, but I don't really know if I can pull it off... It doesn't really matters if there is a (small) harem or just a single couple to me, since in the end I just plan to for Lucerne to have some type of love life. Lol. I really need to solve this out before proceeding any further though, since there are some plot holes I need to fill out, and as such, this part is somewhat needed in its progress.

Hope it doesn't suck.
