Final fantasy vii oc story
Chapter 10
Once we returned to the Shinra building, Sephiroth told me that I had to pack for another mission, involving the Nibelheim reactor. Nibelheim? Wasn't that Cloud's hometown? I didn't give it to much thought as I grabbed my things and made my way over to the Director's office were I saw Sephiroth reading some documents. "Ah good, you're here. Once Zack arrives I shall begin explaining the assignment." I nodded as I sat down on a chair next to him. After a few minutes, Zack came walking in and Sephiroth began explaining the situation. "Legions of monsters have spawned near a regional mako reactor, the workers have all gone missing. Local Soldier operatives have also vanished. The company is dispatching additional operatives to investigate the matter, You, Kirana and I that is." I sighed as I started walking around the room, this situation was getting worse and worse by the minute. "Roger that.." I turned around and noticed Zack was also a bit more down then usual. "What's wrong?"
"Well, you know. I thought you found something out about.. that other matter."
"The missing operatives were the ones tracking Lazard. Also, they had reported a strange pod like device in the area."
"Is that Hollanders?"
"Probably, its the same device that was stolen in Modeoheim."
"Meaning?"
"Lazard, Hollander.."
"And Genesis?" That could mean Genesis was in Nibelheim as well, I sighed once more as I started to think. No matter what happened, I promised myself to put my friends before my job. I turned to face Zack and Sephiroth as they continued to talk. "Well have to go see them."
"All right, lets go."
"First, go to the Soldier floor. We'll depart, as soon as you and the rest of the men are ready to go."
"Understood." Zack started to walk away, until Sephiroth spoke again. "Our orders are to investigate the reactor, they mention nothing of.. old friends." I saw Sephiroth close his eyes as he spoke the last sentence to Zack. "Depending on what happens, I may abandon Shinra.. Until then, ill remain loyal to Soldier." Zack looked a bit taken back before he ran off to the Soldier floor.
I walked over to Sephiroth and sat down as I started to speak. "So this is really it, huh?" Sephiroth nodded. He opened his eyes and sat down next to me. "What will you do, once we find Genesis?" I sighed and pulled my knees up to my chest and lay my head down upon them. I closed my eyes as I started to speak. "I decided to help Genesis once we find him. The last year I went on thinking Zack and I killed him, but now that we have evidence proving he's still alive.." I stopped speaking for a while, this was alot harder then I thought it would be. I heard someone stand up and suddenly felt Sephiroth kiss my forehead. "It wasn't your fault." I heard him say before he walked off to the Soldier floor. Once I calmed down, I made my way over to the Soldier floor were I heard Zack and Sephiroth speak to the each other about our assignment. "By the way, where are we going?"
"To Nibelheim." Zack nodded as we all made our way over to the helicopter.
The helicopter ride wasn't very fast and once we landed in the mountain area, we had to drive a while before we reached town. Once we reached the towns gate Sephiroth started to speak. "So, How does it feel? To be home after all this time? I have no hometown, I wouldn't know." Zack stepped out of the car and spoke. "Uh, what about family?"
"Right now, the only family I have is Kirana. But I was told that my mothers name was Jenova, she died shortly after I was born. My father.. " Sephiroth started to laugh. "Why am I talking about this? Come on, lets go." With that he made his way over to the towns inn, just before Zack and I walked after him, Zack poked me on the shoulder and spoke. "Sephiroth's mothers name is Jenova?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing, Lets go." I nodded, as we walked over to the inn. Once we reached the building a girl walked up to us and asked some questions. "Are you one of the Soldier people who've come to investigate?" I turned around to see a teenage girl with long black hair and a cowboy hat standing behind us. Zack walked over to her and started to speak. "Yeah. My name is Zack, and I'm with Soldier. 1st Class, mind you."
"Hmm, Are there alot of Soldier 1st Classes?"
"Nope, we're a small elite group."
"They only send three?"
"Yeah, me, Kirana and Sephiroth." The girl nodded and looked like she wanted to ask another question, but after a few seconds she decided against it and walked away. As Zack walked over to us, Sephiroth started to speak again."We depart for the reactor at dawn, make sure to get plenty of sleep. Only one of you needs to keep watch, so make sure you get some rest as well. And one more thing, the others have permission to go visit family and friends, if they so wish." Zack nodded as he walked over to the other Soldiers to tell them about the plan.
I followed Sephiroth inside the inn, until he suddenly stopped and looked out of the window on the 1st floor. "What's wrong?"
"This landscape.. I could swear I've seen it before."
"It does look a bit familiar, now that you mention it." It was weird, both Sephiroth and I had never been here before but it still felt like we lived here for years. It was probably just a coincidence. "Maybe we just need some sleep." Sephiroth nodded as he gave me the key to one of the rooms. "The innkeeper only had 3 rooms to spare, so I've divided the rooms like this: the two infantryman, Zack and Cloud, You and I. Do you agree?"
"Sure. Lets go." I opened the door to our room and looked around. It was a small room with 2 large beds and a nightstand standing against the right wall. To the left wall was a door to a bathroom and next to the door were a closet and a mirror. On the other side of the room was a wall with two windows and a chair. I put my bags on top of the chair underneath a window and walked into the bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror, I wasn't looking that good ever since this whole ordeal with Hollander began. My sea green eyes had purple rings under neat them and my normally wavy hair hang straight down my body. After my shower I decided to braid all of my hair together and twist it around itself so it wouldn't hit the floor. I put on my favorite white sleeveless t-shirt and black pants and walked back into the room. As I sat down upon one of the beds, Sephiroth came in. "You look much better."
"Thanks, I guess.." Sephiroth started walking over to my bed and sat down beside me. He took my hands in his and started to speak. "I wont let anything happen to you, I promise." I looked down to our hands as he spoke and noticed that he wasn't wearing his gloves this time. As I turned to look into his eyes I started to speak. "Do you think well be able to help him?"
"I wouldn't know, I haven't seen him for years. But ill do everything I can." I nodded as I lay down on the bed beside him. I closed my eyes and let my memory's replay themselves in my head.
I saw the face of Sephiroth as he consoled me when Hojo told us Professor Gast had died. I saw our first time training together for Soldier, the moment we met Angeal and Genesis, our first mission in Wutai and the last. I saw Zack's face as I first trained him in the Training room with Angeal, and when we last fought against Angeal together. I saw Genesis as he was reading Loveless to me for the 1st time, and the last at the Modeoheim reactor. So much had the past 10 years, and I felt like I stopped living the moment Genesis and Angeal went missing. Tough I was glad, glad that trough all of these bad situations Sephiroth was still here beside me, like he always had been. Before I even noticed myself doing it, I opened my eyes and kissed Sephiroth. At first he seemed a little surprised but after a few seconds he started kissing me back. When I pulled back for air, Sephiroth lay down beside me and pulled me in his arms. I wished this moment lasted forever as I felt happy for the first time in many years.
