A/N: Hmm….I'm not sure where I want to go with this story…Actually, I don't know if continuing this story is such a smart idea if I don't know where I want it to go. Well, just go on and read and review! Please enjoy!


I slowly opened my eyes as I regained consciousness, taking note that it was somewhat dark where I was. I figured out that I was on the floor, because it was cold. I sat up and rubbed my neck, growling when I remembered what had happened.

'Those jerks! They drugged me!' I rubbed my neck where they had pricked that stupid needle in it. I had been drugged and carried away! I had been kidnapped! I had only been talking with Reno when…RENO! OH MY GAWD, WHAT ABOUT RENO! Is he ok, or did they kidnap him too?

"Ugh, w-where am I?" I mumbled, trying to survey around in the dark.

"Why, you're in my lab!" Hojo said, his voice coming from an intercom above.

"Why? Why am I here?" I growled, standing up and feeling around the walls for some type of escape.

"Because, you are my new research specimen!"

"I'm no research specimen, I'm a human being!" I screamed, hitting the wall in anger.

Hojo laughed. "Not if you're able to hear the planets cries you aren't."

Damn! He must've been eavesdropping if he had heard me and Reno's discussion. He had kidnapped because of what I can hear?

"You only kidnapped me because of things I can hear?" I yelled again, kicking the wall this time.

"I wouldn't say 'kidnap'…more like contained would be a better word to use."

"ARGGGHHH!" I hit the wall again. "LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"Actually, someone's already on there way to get you." Right when he said that, the doors opened and light flooded in to the room. Two people in lab coats came in and grabbed me by both of my arms, and dragged me out.

"What in Gaia's name do you think you're doing? Let me go!" I yelled, kicking my legs around as they dragged me over to some giant container thing that looked like it already had one person in it.

The doors to it opened, and they threw me in. I got up quickly, and ran towards the doors, trying to throw punches at the two men that had thrown me in so carelessly. Instead, I hit the door.

"URGH, LET ME OUT!" I yelled hitting the glass again.

"I'm afraid I cant do that until I perform my experiment. Until then, please enjoy your stay in there." Hojo said, walking out of the room.

"HEY, GET BACK HERE! LET ME OUT!" I hit the glass a few more times, slowly sliding down. "Please…let me out."

"It's no use. No matter how many times you ask, he wont listen." I looked up at the girl who had just spoke, only to gasp when I saw who it was.

"Aerith? What are you doing here?" Aerith Gainsborough was a good friend of mine who lived in the sector five slums. She was a flower merchant.

Aerith looked up at me with just as much shock on her face as well. "Sky? What am I doing here? More like what're you doing here?"

"I don't really know. But, you seem to know why you're here, so explain that."

"I was kidnapped. There was this little girl that I was bringing home with me before the attack on sector 7. I was stopped by Tseng, and he threatened the little girls life if I didn't come with him, so I did. My mother is taking care of her."

"That still doesn't explain why you're part of this 'experiment'." I stated, looking at her with a look that said 'explain, now!'

"I'm here, because I'm an Ancient."

"An Ancient?" I asked.

"I'm the last remaining person of the race. I can hear the planets cries and I can tell when someone has returned to the planet."

I looked up at her in shock. She was just like me. "You mean, you can hear the planets pained cries too?"

"Yes, I-wait! What do you mean too?"

"I can hear the planets voice too." I explained, and her eyes widened a bit.

"So, are you an ancient too then?" She asked, and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know, but I don't think I am. Like you, I would've known, plus I cant tell when someone returns to the planet. I can only hear the planet itself."

"Hmm…I don't understand how you can hear it if you're not an Ancient, but maybe we'll figure it out." Aerith concluded.

"Yeah, we'll have plenty of time for that, once we break out of here." I pulled my satchel off my shoulder, and dumped out what few contents I had. I pulled out and un-sheathed my Gunblade, and aimed it at the glass, preparing to shoot, only, when I pulled the trigger, I realized I was out of bullets. "Damn!" I silently cursed under my breath. I thought about hitting the glass, but that wouldn't help probably. "Then again, maybe we should just wait for help."

Whenever help came that is.


Reno was absolutely furious about the entire situation. Hojo had taken his best friend away, and his boss had done nothing to stop the scientist. Tseng wouldn't even let Reno come and see her! They had taken here for no reason, just so they could run tests on her. He tried to go in to work, but security had been told to keep him away.

Either way, only a miracle could help his best friend to escape.


A/N: Hmm…what will happen? Sorry if it was crappy, but I did my best! So, review and such! LATER TATERS!
