Being raised by his godfather, who was a former cop who held a grudge against one of the top crime bosses in the city, made sure that he was taught all that he would need to know in order to help his adopted father in taking down, and survive in this world. But in the end when he is the last one standing and he has no place else to go, ShinRa immediately takes him in due to his abilities. Meeting 13-year-old Zack Fair at the start of the SOLDIER program, he had no idea that he was in for the time of his life, and a destiny in which could decide the fate of the world he lived in.

A/N: I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update! D8 I have been so preoccupied with Bones that I had been neglecting this story sadly enough. Plus with me being in College, and them bombarding us with projects…I really don't get as much time to work on Fanfiction as I would like. XD But I am back and I will be coming up with a schedule for my free time of how I am going to be working on all of these chapters. Also, if anyone can figure out the movie reference, then I will update 2 chapters of whatever fic of mine is your favorite, regardless if it's on this profile or on my DeathNoteMaker one!

Well here is chapter 3 of Phenomenon!

Chapter 3: The Pint-sized Assassin, the Puppy, and the Boot Camp from Hell (Pt. II)

Steadying his breathing, Harry continued on with his quick pace. Like he had been told the training they were being put through was rigorous, and the petite cadet-hopeful couldn't help the smirk that slithered onto his pretty face. This was the sort of thing he lived for after all, and he could honestly admit that he missed the days that his godfather had made him run through the slums with a few hundred Gil jingling in a pouch around his neck. Glancing over at Zack and Reno, he couldn't help but admire their developing physique. He knew that he was young, and they were his friends but nothing said that he couldn't admire.

"STEVENS! PICK UP THE PACE!"

Glancing back over his shoulder, he noticed that the man was once again messing with one of the bigger recruits. The said recruit looked like he was about to collapse in exhaustion, and for the discouragement he must be feeling from the instructors words. Frowning slightly, Harry slowed down a bit till he was right next to the man. When the man turned his head to look at him, the petite boy smiled widely and mentally laughed at the blushed that took place on his face.

"Hey don't worry about him, just pace yourself and you will make it…don't let him get you down much."

With that, he then sped up and passed by the others and reached his previous position. All the while, he missed the looks being sent his way from the straggler.

Soon, they were all told to stop and Harry made his way over to Zack and Reno. Zack, whom had been pushing himself way beyond his limits, had collapsed onto the ground. Reno was barely able to keep himself from falling to the ground. Covering his mouth with his hand to muffle his chuckles, he placed his hands on his waist and raised an eyebrow at them. While he was a little winded, he wasn't as exhausted as the other two. Then again, he wasn't trying to be the top dog in the pack, which was a thing that the two had going on for a while now.

Brushing his hair from his face, he sighed and made his way over to Zack. Holding out his hand, he smirked at the panting boy and once again couldn't help but liken him to a puppy. "Come on Zack, get off the ground…I'm already going to have a hard enough time washing our clothes and I don't need to worry about getting these mud stains out of it." Pouting, Zack grabbed Harry's hand and then a devious smirk slithered onto his face making the latter look at him warily.

Next thing Harry knew, he yelped as he was pulled down to the ground. "Come down here with me Emeralds!" Reno was stunned for a bit before he growled at the sight. "Oi Fair! What do you think you're doing!" The petite black-haired boy sighed as he tried to pry himself from Zack's arms, and get off of the ground. He was definitely going to have a hard time during laundry day, and he was going to make sure that Zack would suffer for it.

"HEY GIRLS! CUT OUT YOUR LITTLE CELEBRATION AND GET BACK TO THE BASE!"

Finally, Harry was able to get himself separated after Zack jumped up with his grip still tight on him. Reno was glaring at Zack while the latter was only smirking at him mockingly. Sighing, Harry brushed off any dust that had collected onto his clothes and tried to straighten his uniform. The three quickly made their way to the base, and got ready to eat lunch. Getting into the cafeteria, Zack immediately jumped into the line while Harry and Reno made their way to their regular table.

"I don't know how you can stand that guy sometimes Black."

Smirking, Harry tilted his head to the side and rested his cheek on the back of his hand. "Well its obvious…I enjoy the chaos that happens around him." Closing his eyes briefly, he opened them again halfway. "Plus…I guess that he is one of the only people whose company I have come to genuinely enjoy." Reno gapped as the smaller male looked in the direction of the line, and his green eyes landed on the said topic of their conversation.

"There aren't many people that I willingly associate with besides you and my God father, I was just as surprised as you are about how quickly I took to Zack…"

Half-lidded green eyes slid over to Reno, and he a serious expression was on his face.

"Something was telling me that he would be important to me, and I always trust my instincts."

With that, he said nothing else and a smile formed on his face as Zack came towards their table while balancing three trays. "Well the best thing they had was pizza, and I was lucky enough to actually get the last three slices!" Grinning widely, he plopped himself down on the opposite side of the table and then handed Harry one of them first.

"I remembered to get you some of the yogurt that you like, and had to almost fight with some guy to get it!"

Covering his mouth to stifle the giggle he wanted to release so badly, Harry then wrapped his arms around his mid-section. "You really amuse me Zack, but thank you for risking your life to get me some yogurt." The Spiky-haired boy brought a hand up to scratch the back of his head as he chuckled in embarrassment. "Don't worry about it Emeralds!" Reno just sighed and scowled angrily, "You are such a kiss-ass Fair!" Zack only squawked in protest of the label, and Harry laughed softly at his two friends.

All the while, he was practically oblivious the longing looks that someone was sending in their direction, but Reno was not.

Closing his eyes, Zack sighed as he let the hot water wash down his body. The trainers had been running them ragged for a while now, and it was mostly due to them almost being done with basic training and ready to become cadets in ShinRa. Glancing over at a certain person curiously, he thought about all the information he had collected on the recent new admirer of his pretty friend. Oscar Stevens, one of the lower bracket-dwellers in the Boot Camp.

Apparently he was talentless and an all-around future drop out of the program, which was not something that he and Reno looked for in a potential friend for Emeralds. Plus he seemed to be the favorite for Sergeant Paine's to pick on. But unlike the redhead, Zack couldn't help but feel sympathetic for the male. Due to his low status, he had no friends and actually seems to get bullied by others.

The violet-eyed cadet hopeful didn't know what to think about him, and decided that he will think on it a bit more before doing anything.

"Oi Stevens!"

Snapping his head in the direction of the voice, Zack frowned as he saw who had spoken. Jake Summers was a native from Sol, as was proven by his tanned skin. He was a pretty handsome guy, but his personality was very ugly. Or so Harry had mentioned once before during their little breaks, after the former had hit on the petite green-eyed boy.

"I wouldn't lower myself to even associate with someone that gets their rocks off by making someone else feel bad about themselves."

Oscar, who was also showering up, stiffened before slowly turning around to look at Jake over his shoulder. He didn't say anything, but his body language told Zack everything. It seems that Jake was one of his many tormentors. Narrowing his eyes as the Sol native made his way over towards the larger boy with his little gang right behind him. He knew that if things got out of hand, screw the status quo that had been established between their groups. Zack never really liked Jake from what he had been told by Harry, and Reno also didn't have an exactly positive opinion of him either.

"I heard that you beat your usual time…" The muscular young man walked over to the thicker male, and then placed a hand on his shoulder in a mock friendly gesture. "I even heard that Black had talked to you, and encouraged you during the run." For a brief second a flash of pride welled up in the other's eyes, and Zack wasn't surprised. Many here seemed to think that if Harry bothered talking to them that it was something special.

To Stevens, it most likely was special. After all, though the petite boy wasn't part of any circle other than theirs, he was still sought after by many. Jake's surprising friendly gesture than changed as a scowl formed on his face. With no effort, he pushed the other towards the wall with little to no trouble despite Oscar being bigger than him.

Zack watched this, and knew that his instincts wouldn't allow him to just let this happen while he was here. But since it hadn't gotten out of hand, he wouldn't interfere just yet.

"What makes you think that you can even breathe the same air as Black, much less talking to him?"

Oscar didn't say anything as the pride in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he almost curled up in defense against the words and the blows that he was sure to come. A sneer was etched into Jake's handsome face, as he and his buddies decided to surround him. Sighing, Zack knew that he didn't have the heart to let this continue any further.

"You shouldn't even think yourself worthy enough to take a single glance at him!"

Cutting off the water that had been pouring down on him, Zack grabbed the towel that been hanging overhead and turned around. "And who exactly made you the person who decides such things Summers?"

At the sound of his name, the De la Sol native turned around and scowled. "Of course I should be a fair judge!" Oscar, who was still on the ground seemed to relax as he noticed the attention, was off of him, and now onto Zack. Looking up from his position on the ground, the larger male's eyes were wide with shock and awe.

The spiky-haired boy couldn't help but feel pity for Oscar, and shame towards himself. He knew that long ago, he would have rushed to save anyone and would've prevented bullying before it even started. Unfortunately, spending so much time with Harrison and Reno, he had developed some sense of self preservation, which prevented him from running headlong into everything. Now, he was back on his 'saving-people' thing, as the emerald-eyed boy had called it.

"After all, if Black doesn't even talk to me then this loser over here stands no chance at all."

Smirking, Zack crossed his arms and narrowed his purple eyes on the other male. "Of course, it's because you do shit like this is why he doesn't talk to you…who made you the one who decides who he can talk to or not." Glancing over at Oscar, the spiky-haired preteen winked at the shocked man before turning back to Jake. "Obviously there was something in this guy that Harrison liked, and so he had talked to him." Placing his hands on his towel-covered waist, he leaned forward slightly.

"The same can't be said for you, because Emeralds said that he couldn't stand you."

Despite the tan, Jake's face acquired a bright red color in embarrassment as the others in the showers snickered. Everyone knew this, and even Jake did but it didn't make it any less embarrassing hearing it from a close friend of the said boy. Scowling, the De la Sol native turned on the ball of his foot and stomped off with his buddies trailing along behind him. Chuckling, Zack turned towards Oscar and held out a hand. "Well that takes care of that…are you alright buddy?"

Right at that moment, Zack was oblivious to the hero worshipping look that the other gave him. Nor did he know the change that this single event will bring in the future.

Stretching his arms above his head, Harrison watched the argument between Reno and Zack with an apathetic look. After all, he had gotten used to it by now and so wasn't bothered by it. Their bunker was having an inspection today, and everyone was nervous except for them. Zack and Reno had Harrison there to practically play Mommy to make sure their stuff was situated. Most of the others were scrambling around trying to do last minute touch ups of their bunks, and the sight of them running around like chickens with their heads cut off was hilarious.

Brushing his hair over his shoulder, the green-eyed beauty snorted as he eyed Jake who was trying to find a place to hide his porn magazines. Snorting at the predictability of the Sol boy, he then looked over and saw Oscar's bunk was clean. Crossing his arms, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that lately Oscar had been getting himself together and was coming along in the training. Others in the bunker have even started talking to him, and seeing this made Harry happy. After all, he didn't like how he had been treated and was unfortunately unable to do much due to his own shaky situation.

Running a hand through his loose hair, the green-eyed boy turned to look as Jake successfully got one of his followers to hide the porn in his footlocker. Glancing down at his own locker, he nodded as he saw the lock was firmly in place. The door to the barracks slammed open, and Paine came walking in flanked by two of his occupants of the previous bunkers.

"INSPECTION BEGINS NOW! LINE UP!"

Immediately everyone took their place in front of their bunk, and stood at attention. The inspection was as they expected, Paine checked their bunks, the space around it, and just looked for even the smallest imperfection. After inspecting his, Reno's, and Zack's bunks, Paine glanced over at Harry and only a smug smirk. Paine had been hoping that the petite boy wouldn't have enough time to clean all three of their bunks, but was only disappointed another time. Snorting, the man continued down the rows. Sniggering a bit at how Zack had relaxed, he didn't notice Paine stopping a bit down from his bunk until he heard a bang.

Snapping his head in the direction of the sound, he saw Paine tossing random objects out of a footlocker. Looking to see whose footlocker, a sense of dread spread through him as he saw whose bunk it was. Oscar stood in front of his bunk as the sergeant ripped through the footlocker and all the items that were now being thrown around. "WHAT IS THIS?" At the question everyone stiffened and their heads turned in the direction of the man.

Coming from the side of the bed, he came to stand in the middle of the room. Holding up an object in his hand, his face was red with anger. Turning to look at Oscar with a snarl, he brought the object up in a way that everyone could see it. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" For a moment nothing was said before a mumble came from Oscar. Perking up at the voice, Paine's eyes latched onto Oscar's large frame and he stepped closer to the larger male.

"What was that?"

Looking down at his feet and shuffling a bit in place, the large male mumbled a bit louder and it only caused Paine's sneer to deepen. "Speak up Stevens!"

Gulping audibly, Oscar hunched his shoulders as he answered, this time clearly.

"A Jelly donut."

For a moment, not a word was uttered as Sergeant Paine gritted his teeth. Lifting up the now identified object, and holding it for all to see he repeated.

"A Jelly donut…a Jelly donut…A FUCKING JELLY DONUT!"

Throwing the white pastry to the ground, everyone flinched as the said jelly in the donut splattered out do the force.

After that, it seemed like whatever progress Oscar had made was reversed. The night after the unexpected embarrassment, Jake and his asshole lackeys had gathered many of the other occupants of their bunker and beat the large male with pillows filled with bars of soaps. Of course, they had done this around the time that Harry, Zack, and Reno were given night guard duty. Harry could tell the next day that something had happened.

Oscar had avoided everyone, not that it was easy as everyone who had become friendly with him suddenly became indifferent to his very existence. Plus Jake had been looking a bit too smug for the petite boy's taste, and honestly he was sure that asshole had something to do with this. Unfortunately, there was nothing that he would be able to do and so he couldn't help Oscar in any way. Zack was beside himself, as his 'saving people' thing had been going into overdrive for the last two months of boot camp. The only thing keeping him from beating up anyone who even remotely looked at Oscar wrong was him distracting him with vulgar jokes and innuendos that cause the spiky-haired puppy sputter in shock and embarrassment.

Reno of course distracted him, and reminded him of his own situation and not being able to cause any trouble. With his random groping and riling up Zack, they were all successful in distracting themselves, but it didn't make what was happening around them any better…nor did stop them from feeling like shit somewhere deep inside for their inactiveness in preventing the isolation of Oscar. Though Harry made sure to help him during training, and even then he slipped in comments of encouragement that seemed to help him.

Or at least he had believed so.

The sound of a rifle going off shook Harrison out of his bed, as well as others in the bunker. Immediately jumping out of his bed, he took off in the direction of the gunshot sound but not without grabbing a small pistol that he had managed to smuggle in with him. Making his way to the bathroom, he kicked the door open and aimed his gun with narrowed eyes. But the scene in front of him caused his eyes to widen and he paused in shock.

"Hey look Harrison! I've finally done it!"

Others from the bunker made their way into the bathroom, and they all took in the picture that Oscar made as he stood over the body of Sergeant Paine's headless corpse laying in between two latrines. Blood was splattered back across the wall, and bits and chunks of tissue littered the floor around the body, which continued to pump blood up through the neck as if it were a fountain. Harry, having done worse wasn't surprised, but he was able to get another from their bunker to go get a superior officer. Jake was retching over in one of the vacant latrines, and others in the crowd weren't better off.

Looking into Oscar's wild dark eyes, Harry closed his eyes in sadness. It seemed that he hadn't helped enough, and somehow…he couldn't help but feel that this was his fault.

"Yes…you've done it Oscar…you've really done it."

Hearing the alarm go off and some of the large males came into their bunk behind another Sergeant and slowly went over to restrain the smiling male. As they passed him with the crazed male, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as Oscar kept asking him to praise him for his good job…be his friend…

The day of their graduation from Boot Camp, was the exact same day that Oscar was executed for killing his superior officer.

Getting onto the bus taking them to the train station to go to ShinRa Headquarters, Harry sat with Zack and Reno. Looking out of the window towards the Boot Camp, he filed away the experience and made a vow to look after those who are targeted for bullying. After what happened to Oscar…he just couldn't let things come to that anymore. Glancing over at Zack and Reno, he saw that they too felt the same way…more Zack than Reno, but the latter also agreed if not reluctantly.

Falling over to the side, his head rested on Zack's shoulder, while Reno rested his head in Harry's lap. Emerald green eyes closed as the presences of his friends helped lull him to sleep.

End of Chapter 3~
