My Final Fantasy VII Experience

Entering Final Fantasy VII and the Start of Some Shin-Ra "Fun"

It all begins here (Yatta, another quote from Dad!) at my hovel, a.k.a. my second room, I sat on my long used and cat clawed chair, my T.V. at a decent level of volume and all the jacked up homework finished, only five more days left till the great time of college. I turned on Playstation-sama, yes I know gave it a honorific title but I love it that much that I call it Lord Playstation, and put in the first disc of Final Fantasy VII just to goof off on a brand new game and see if I could try to get that crazy hard to get Barret date just cause it would be funny as hell. I sat there humming the opening scene's music (Your music ROCKS DA HIZOUSE Nobuo Uematsu!) just like I always did, especially after I stuck it to my evil older cousin by one of my other acquaintances giving me a copy for free only after he gave me a broken copy thinking it worked, I was expecting Aeris's, or as her name gets changed to later Aerith's, head to appear soon and the thing is my new disc started acting like my messed up miss programmed disc, music kept going and no movements from the reader inside Playstation-sama. I looked at the T.V. my eye twitching and a huge manga anger vein popping up, I waited for a minute and then cussed, got up and went to turn it off and re-clean the disc as I often do, to preserve my new looking disc. The thing is as I opened the drive a strange glowy-ness came from under the lid and it was so bright. I couldn't help my self from touching the disc and then the light grew and it was all I could see. Waited for the light to end, got annoyed, started to play "This is Halloween" in my head, when that ended I cussed, when the light still didn't stop I started cussing at Bahamut (I'M SO SORRY!!) and well the light ended.

I first noticed that my clothes were different, instead of jeans and a green t-shirt I was wearing a pair of black cargos, army grade sweetness, a red t-shirt and a black cloak, it looked so much like Auron's I gave a deep purr, (Yes, I purr like a cat.) and snuggled into the nice warmth coming from it. Only when that muscle jerk guard noticed me and said something did I look around to where I was, a long steel hallway a few windowless heavier steel doors on both sides and a very noticeable sign saying I was on the 67th floor of the Shin-Ra building. First words that came out of my mouth after I dodged the guard's bad attempt at charging me, "Holy fucking shit." The guard chose that moment to call for back up and I found myself being chased around the 67th floor by five guards unable to escape due to the fact that I didn't have any key cards really limited my chances of escape. Another thing was that those guards were getting smart to my strangely faster than normal running and were moving to corner me against the windows, and well my brain wasn't functioning as well as it normally does, I had no pocky and green tea to start it working, so I jumped out the window and prayed frantically to Bahamut to not let me die.

The funny thing is Bahamut did save me; I didn't fall to my death but started to glide to the large city of Midgar underneath me. I heard a very shrill voice yell from behind me, not to mention my instant recognition of who said that, "GET HER SHE'S MY NEWEST SPECIMEN!!"

I gave a brief random thought that when Square-Enix hired Paul Eiding to do Hojo's voice in Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core, they really captured his voice and essence. Then I focused on getting away from Shin-Ra as fast as possible, which with the sound of wings flapping I went a whole lot faster, but I heard a sound I've heard only once before and it really disrupted my flight pattern, yup the Turks and their helicopters were after me at full speed. I pumped my newly gained wings, which looked a lot like Bahamut's, and tired to out run them. It worked until a helicopter rose up suddenly in front of me and blocked me off from going forward, though I did recognize the person flying it and made a really desperate dive into the windshield and landed sprawled out inside it. "Reno! Please get me out of here! Let's say we are related and Hojo can't experiment on me! Please!"

The Turk looked at me like I was some crazy, winged, freak, well which I technically am, and replied in an exact copy of Quinton Flynn's tones and mannerisms, "Sorry, no can do. I've got my orders and one more screw up and I'm fired. Just stay there like a good girl until I get back to the office."

I looked at him using my technique of the ultimate puppy eyes, "Please I'll do anything!"

Reno stalled for a brief second and then said to my dismay, "Can't orders are orders."

I then let loose, "Shit! I guess I have to just bust outta here then!" I then opened the side door listening to Reno curse as he quickly fastened himself to the seat as I jumped out keeping my wings tight against my body hoping to dive under their radar. It didn't work, so when I unfurled my wings it felt like someone was stabbing me in the back as the copters came ever closer and this time they had nets, very uncomfortable looking nets. I kept pumping my wings as fast as possible hoping and once again praying to the almighty god of gods Bahamut. He failed me, because I was caught by three copters and three nets that gave me some really nasty bruises. When the copters landed, I didn't know how they were going to land with me, the winged freak in the net dangling underneath, I learnt my answer in five minutes after I started to wonder, they released the nets causing me to drop onto the concrete roof. Do you know how painful it is to land on your back just after you sprouted wings and tried to escape by flying? Not pleasant, as I fell inside the jumbo net I was flipping around and wound up landing on my back. Then next thing my senses pick up is several large cranking sounds and an excruciating pain from my back, kinda like getting your arms pulled out of its socket, well actually, both of your arms at the same time.

When I found myself able to breathe, I pulled myself into a sitting position, and looked behind me to check my wings, well they were bleeding shreds with bits of bones sticking out of the skin between the scales. I tried to shift them so they were a bit more comfortable but alas I only caused myself even more pain and me to scream out in, well, pain. Hojo walked up behind me and looked at my bleeding mess, with a quick turn he confronted the other Turks, which I've never seen before in any of the games, and yelled at them, "YOU CARELESS HIRED MUSCLE YOU DAMAGED MY SPECIMEN!!"

I don't know whether I replied out of pain or out of sheer hatred of Hojo. (I despise, no that's not the right word, LOATHE him, if you couldn't tell.) Anyway, I yelled, no rather, screamed at the top of my lungs at him, "YOU FUCKING RETARD YOU TOLD THEM TO CAPTURE ME!!" Hojo gave me a brief glare but I didn't care I was in intense pain and was quickly turning into my inner crazy psychopath ready to destroy the world self that to be quite frank would probably even scare the scales off Bahamut. I then had another outburst at the crazy scientist that also had a chance of putting my wings back together no matter how much I hated his ever-livin' guts along with his up and coming demise and evil plots to destroy everything after it, "YELL AT THE GOD DAMN IDIOTS LATER AND FIX MY MOTHER FUCKING WINGS YOU BASTARD!!" He glared at me again and pulled something out of his pocket and walking calmly up to me removed the cap and stuck it into one of my very visible veins. I was about to ask him what he was doing when I noticed the sudden numbness and desire to sleep, here's the thing up until that point I had never had sedatives, one time I got knocked out by a non-drowsy sinus pill, so, yeah, I curled up like a cat and promptly fell asleep, and I became completely oblivious to everything around me.
