Author's Notes: Here it is, the second chapter. I must say this one thing here: If you like this story, or find it interesting, leave a review. Even if it's only a word long, just leave one. I judge what stories stay by how many reviews they get. On my last update, I got rid of three stories because they had no reviews. Few to no reviews means it's gone. Oh, and in the last chapter, when Shego jumped from the street as the train passed, it wasn't a suicide kind of thing. The train tracks ran under the street, and then opened up to the side of the street. She jumped onto the moving train. I just noticed how I put it in the last chapter.
In this chapter, you're really going to notice how my story will be different from the actual game (if you've played it). The scene between Tifa and Cloud, remembering the past, won't be as emotional… and no-where near as friendly. You'll see. Also, you know how I replaced some of the characters with Kim Possible characters, right? Well, I'm gonna reveal another. Who's Tifa gonna be? You'll be surprised. Seriously. Also, who noticed the thing with Brick and Wahl's names?
Oh, and after this chapter, I'll give you guys a special something pertaining to my new webcomic. The webcomic itself may not start for a while, because I am still trying to improve my drawing skills. I'm going to be in college soon, and will be taking some art classes, so that should really help.
And, I'm providing a small description of Midgar, the city everyone's in, before I start the chapter. It's a little something for the people who haven't played the game.
Midgar
Midgar is a large, circular city. It is composed of eight sections; each considered a town in its own. It is also composed of three parts: the slums, the plate, and the tower.
Slums: The slums are located on the ground. It's dirty and nasty, and polluted. Because of the large plates above the slums, which hold the larger city up, the slums never see the sun. There are only two places known so far that can grow flowers. The slums are covered in trash and garbage. The people who live here, who are usually quite poor, survive by scavenging what they can from the debris.
Plates: The richer part of Midgar is consisted of cities built on top of the plates. Built on a giant, metal 'pizza'. Each plate is held up by a large pillar in the slums, which can be blown up at will by Shinra (Shinra is the company that owns Midgar, and most of the world). From the plates, one could reach the reactors that circle the city (There are eight reactors in the city of Midgar alone).
Tower: Where President Shinra and a large portion of Shinra employees work and live. It is Shinra's headquarters in a sense. This is also where the headquarters for Soldier, Shinra's elite fighting force, is located. There are many floors (I forgot how many exactly. I believe there are over 60.)
To get from the Slums to the Plate requires the train system, or a helicopter. There are a couple other ways to get there too, but I'll keep them a secret for now. The entire city of Midgar, including the Slums, is powered by the eight reactors (now seven). These reactors absorb energy in the Planet and convert it into usable electricity. Later on, I'll tell you about the energy in the Planet.
Also, there is one other reactor, Reactor 0, which is hidden under the city itself, in a whole other part of Midgar. This Underbelly part of Midgar is a city itself, located secretly below the Slums, far below the Slums. But that won't be a part of this story, as far as I know.
I will tell you more about the city as the story progresses, but for now, let's get it started.

Chapter 2
The Next Mission
"A floating city… pretty unsettling, huh?" Shego said as she got off the train, looking up at the plates above.
"Huh, never expected to here something like that from someone like you," Hego commented, coming out of the train behind Shego. "You're just full of surprises."
Hego looked up with Shego. "The upper world… A city on a plate. It's because of that 'pizza' that these people down here are suffering," Hego looked down, and whistled, getting the attention of the others. He walked off the station platform and called them over. "Hey, over here."
Tara, Brick, Wahl, and Shego came over to here what the large man had to say.
"Alright, this mission was a success. But don't get too cocky, because the hardest part is still coming. That large explosion may have been scary, but the next one's going to be bigger! Now come on, let's get back to the hideout." Hego and the other's ran off, leaving Shego behind.
She looked at a couple near a light post at the station. They seemed to be in love, even if it was a little strange looking. They were talking about were they should go to be alone.
Looking behind her, she saw a bunch of trains in the distance. The area was known as the Train Graveyard, not just because of it being full of useless, old trains, but the fact that it was haunted.
Shego scoffed at the idea of ghosts, and started on her way to the 'hideout'.
She came into a small town made out of the garbage all around. Looking around, there weren't many places to live in, but it was still a place for people to live in. On one side of the small town was a nice looking building, the nicest one around, and probably the only one that didn't look like a pile of garbage. It was called Seventh Heaven.
She thought of hanging outside for a bit, but the people flying out of the hideout made her decide it was probably more fun in there.
As Shego walked up to the doors, Hego ran out, covering his head.
"Look out, she's not in a good mood."
"Well, doy! I bet you tried to guilt trip her for not coming with us!" Shego said.
"Well…" A glass flew out and broke itself on Hego's head. He cried out like a four year old girl, before running off.
"Dumb ass," Shego muttered before walking in.
"YOU COME BACK FOR MORE, ASSHOLE? Oh, it's just you," Said a young woman behind the bar. She had smooth, tan skin and soft, brown hair. Just looking at her, you would've thought she was a super model, especially with her large, round chest. She looked really pissed off and had a terrible scowl on her face.
"Yeah, fuck you too, Bonnie," Shego said before taking a nearby chair, and plopping herself down. {Did you see that coming?}
It was a small looking bar, but it was one of the best in the slums. The bar itself was located on the far wall, with a door leading into a back area (Not in the game). Tables were scattered across the room, and a pinball machine adorned the wall to the right. This pinball machine, for a long as anyone could remember, had an "Out of Order" sign on it.
"So, you and Hego get into a fight?" Bonnie asked as she mixed some drinks for the others sitting at the bar.
"Well, I felt like I needed to tear Hego's head off a couple of times. Does that count?"
"Yes, it does. I swear, you used to get into fights at the drop of a hat when we were kids," Bonnie complained as she stepped out from behind the car and brought Shego a cocktail.
Shego took it with a smirk, "Hey! I really liked that hat!"
"Yeah, that's always your excuse," Bonnie scoffed as she got back behind the bar. A door opened from behind the bar and a young girl wearing lots of pink came out. Bonnie suddenly got a big smile, "Hey Marlene. How are you?"
"I'm fine. Oh… Shego's back…" Marlene hid herself under the counter, pretending to look for cups. She was a very shy girl.
"Yeah. Hey, where'd you get that flower? You almost never see them here in the slums." Bonnie noticed Shego was holding a small, yellow flower.
"I bought it, and, no, not for you. I got it for Marlene," Marlene's head poked up from behind the counter as Shego walked over to her. "Here you go."
Marlene took it quickly, and gave Shego a small smile before hiding behind the counter again.
Shego walked back to where she was sitting to pick up her drink, when she noticed Hego poking his head in the door.
"C-can I come back in?" Bonnie just glared at him, then sighed.
"Yeah, whatever," She said, picking up some dirty glasses, and began to wipe them clean.
"Hi Papa!" Marlene piped up, running from behind the counter to jump in his arms. He laughed and lifter her onto his shoulder.
"Hey, how's my girl? And where'd you get that flower from?" Hego's grin was big enough to melt even the hardest heart, including Bonnie's and Shego's.
"Shego gave it to me."
"Oh, did you thank her?"
Marlene turned to look at Shego, "Thank you Shego."
"No problem," Shego returned with a smile. As tough and dangerous as Shego acted, she always loved children. It was intensified by the fact that she could never have any of her own, due to the Mako infusion to her body.
"So, you feeling alright, dumba… Hego?" Bonnie caught herself before she cursed in front of Marlene.
"Doin' good. Hey, guys! Get down here now. We're going to have a meeting," Hego walked over to the pinball machine, and pressed a couple of buttons, before the floor gave way and he was slowly lowed into a secret basement room. The others used the ladder that was hidden behind the machine to climb down into the other room. That left only Shego and Bonnie, the childhood "friends".
Shego and bonnie looked at each other for a moment. Then, Bonnie spoke up.
"Well? You gonna go down? I'm not here to baby sit a bitch like you."
Shego simply flipped her off, before climbing down herself. When she got to the bottom, she made sure to push the button next to the machine to make it go back up.
The room was a bit smaller then the one up top, but it was mostly because of how filled up with various stuff it was.
"Hey Shego!" Hego was busy punching the punching bag, with Marlene sitting on some boxes nearby. "Did we fight anyone from Soldier today?"
Shego grabbed a seat, and sat down, putting her feet on the table in the middle of the room.
"Nope. If we did, you wouldn't be standing there right now."
"Hey now, don't be acting so high-and-mighty just because you were in Sold…"
"I'll act as high and might as I want! I'm the one with flaming hands here," Shego lit her hand for emphasis. Her anger was growing.
"Yeah. To me, it just sounds like you miss Shinra," Bonnie came down the Pinball elevator.
"Look here…" Shego started, her face in a terrible scowl.
"Is the little baby gonna cry? I bet Shinra…" Bonnie was cut off by a ball of plasma that flew past her head and hit the wall.
"I don't care about Shinra, or soldier for that matter. Not Avalanche, not the people of this city, not even the planet. Anyone I cared about died off long ago. So if you'll excuse me, I'll be getting the hell out of here!" Shego stormed to the pinball machine, and pressed the button to go up. She got to the top and headed for the door, ready to leave them behind forever, when Bonnie came up and called to her. The pinball machine went back down.
"Shego."
"What the hell do you want?" Shego snarled, twisting her head to stare at her.
"I'm sorry about that. Please, just listen to me."
Shego glared at her for a moment, before turning towards her, her arms crossed.
"Will you please join us? We could really use your help. I know, I act too much like a bitch sometimes, but that's because I care for you. Yes, totally out of character, but…"
"But what?" Shego asked, her temper cooling down.
"You remember that promise we made? At the well?"
"The promise…?" Shego went into thought.
"You forgot? Remember the promise we made when you said you were going to join Soldier? After Cloud died on the mountain, you…"
"Yeah, I remember…" Shego trailed off. It was a hard memory for her; she didn't like to remember it.
"Well, what about now? We promised each other that if we were in trouble, we would always be there for each other. And I need you now."
"Bonnie, I never became famous. I may have gotten in First class, but I was greatly overshadowed by Sephiroth."
"It doesn't matter, I just don't want either of us to go through what Cloud did. And this is for the Planet. Doesn't that matter to you?" Bonnie's sincerity was showing greatly through her expression. She rarely ever got like this, but when it did, people hearts turned. Except for Shego's, usually.
Just then, the pinball machine came back up, and Hego was on it.
"Hey, Shego. Before you go, here's your pay," Hego tossed her a small bag full of Gil. Shego held it up and looked at it.
"This is my pay? Don't make me laugh."
"So, your gonna stay?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah. I want three thousand for the next job." Shego said
Hego nearly had a heart attack.
"But, that's…"
Shego cut him off, "But, since you need some for Marlene's schooling, I'll only ask for two thousand."
Hego looked at her, before straightening himself, "Deal."
We'll hear the sound as you're falling down
"Everyone have a good sleep?" Hego asked as the group gathered around him.
"Your snoring kept me up," Shego proclaimed with a yawn.
Hego merely grunted. "Whatever, come on, let's go," Hego said before stomping out the door.
"Heh, I do believe you made him mad," Bonnie said, pulling on some gloves.
"I do try my best."
"I'll going with you guys this time, so don't complain."
"Why? So you can tray and fail miserably at showing how much better you are than me?"
"No, so I can prove I'm better than you. And…
Hego came back in. "Hey, we need to go."
Shego and Bonnie glared at him, before heading out towards the train station.
"Hey, um, actually. Before we go… could you show me how to use… materia?" Hego asked sheepishly, "I found this one at the reactor, but I've never learned how to."
Shego rolled her eyes. "Fine."
I'm at this old hotel
"Da…a…ng that's hard to understand. I'll just let you take care of it, okay?" Hego said rubbing his head as he walked out of Seventh Heaven.
"Yeah, whatever."
Bonnie walked out of the building last, calling to Marlene.
"If anything goes wrong, called Mr. Haru at the shop. Okay?"
"Okay, Bonnie! I will. Bye!"
Bonnie caught up to Shego and Hego.
"Oh, that reminds me, Mr. Haru had something for you at the shop. Lets go pick it up."
The Shop wasn't to far away. It was the tallest inhabited building in the Section. They went in, just to be greeted by an overly friendly man.
"Hey! You guys are here! Excellent! I just got a shipment of materia in. I know you guess do some dangerous stuff, going off to fight those monsters all over the slums and all, so I though you might want some of the extras. I got more than I can handle. Want it?"
Shego looked at Bonnie, before speaking, "Sure, I guess so."
"Alright, here you go. This is All materia, you know how that works, right? And here's some a couple of Fire. And an Ice. They ended up pulling me short on Lightning and didn't give me any shipments of Cure, so I can't give you any of that."
"That's alright, we'll make due," Shego said, putting the materia into a small bag that said 'Mog' on the side. "Thank you."
"No problem, now go make the Slums safer for us!"
"Yeah! Sure…"
They all walked passed a chain link fence on the way to the train yard. Behind was a giant set of stairs that led up to a large computer, which was connected to the pillar that held the plate up.
They all reached the train, and got on just in time.
Brick and the other two were standing around in the car they were in.
"Hey! This isn't a private car. Split up!"
They all ran off to other cars on the train. The train began moving.
Hego sat down and made himself comfortable.
"Alright, it should be smooth sailing for now, until we get to the Security checkpoint, so relax while you can."
Bonnie walked down the car to a terminal at the end. "Hey, Shego, have you seen this?"
"No, what is it?"
"It's a map of the railways. Come look."
Shego stood behind Bonnie as she explained the various features of it. Suddenly, a red light went off and a siren blared.
Hego jumped up, "Crap, someone screwed up!"
Tara came into the car and called out, "Guys! We're in serious trouble!"
Author's Notes: Alright, so it's good, isn't it? It's really starting to get a little funky. I won't be completely going away from the plotline of the original game, but I will make changes wherever needed to fit these characters. Now then, I had a bunch of other stuff I wanted to tell you guys, but I forgot it, so I'll give you that special Mirenheart thing instead.
Mirenheart
The world of Mirenheart. The webcomic is based off of my original character, Sarah Mirenheart. She is a peculiar, and beautiful woman who has a very complicated and famous past. She is a very kind girl, but she is naive to her attractiveness. When she dresses, she usually doesn't see anything wrong with what she's wearing, even when it gives an old guy a heart attack when he tries to get an erection. XP
The world this comic is situated in is Earth, but a very different Earth. From the earliest known records, strange formations of light have been known to open up in various places around the world, and through them would come people and creatures from very different worlds. When the comic starts, one of the main characters is taken through the streets of a highly populated "Portal Hotspot" city. As they walk through it, they see many people from other worlds, such as Kim possible and Ron Stoppable running after a random thief on the rooftops, or Ichigo getting stepped on by Riku, Ren and Stimpy at a pet shop, causing the animals instead to go into a frenzy, or even The Alternate Cheese from It's Walky inside a support center, arguing with a receptionist. This is but the tip of the iceberg of what appears in this strange world. But, even with all these strange people from every which way appearing here, there is still no sign of John Luke Picard being real, despite there being a real Enterprise (Star Trek).
This world (Which is temporarily called Gaia, until I can make up a better name) is sort of a crossroads for the various universes. When a shift in time or space occurs in a universe that is closely associated with Gaia, or another universe like that, it may suddenly connect to this world, thus bringing new people and various other things into Gaia's history. Because of this, the world became very technologically advanced, very fast. In fact, by the 1910's, they were able to use instruments to visually observe other worlds that they picked up on their instruments. By the 30's, they had the ability to make small holes of their own into other random worlds. By the 50's, they could easily send entire armies to any world of their choosing. But, as time in this world went on, the frequency of portals appearing and the dangers that came out of them had increased greatly.
So much so, that in the 60's, they had to use devices to control where the portals would appear, but it didn't completely work. In 1975, they created a world protection army that would push back in invaders that may have come through the rouge portals. In 1987, the governments of the world came together and formed an elite group, which they called T.E.A.M. (Tactical Elimination Assault Marines). They created this in response to a growing threat from an evil dimension hoping group called to Continuum Wyrms. Their leader has never been seen by anyone who is currently alive, because of his complete ruthlessness.
Mirenheart's Military Profile
November 7th, 2005, Mirenheart joined T.E.A.M. number Seven. She has A large sword known as (I have yet to make a name), A weapon of legend that she claims to have been passed down to her all the way from Gillian Mirenheart, one of the three famous Mirenheart Brothers. Her abilities and powers consisted of [Warning: Information is Classified. Further talk of it will result in immediate death penalty]...
Well, that should about do it. I have a lot more thought up, but I decided to keep it a secret, so you'd all have something to look forward to when my Comic starts.
