Disclaimer: Don't own FF7… But this story I do! :D

Hey guys. Thanks for all of your support in this. It is really nice to know a silly story is liked so much. So I thought I was going to fill you in on what's going on, but I decided that You guys needed to see Zack's point of view through all of this.

Zack walked backwards until his back was up against the cell. "I will NOT go!"

"Zack," Lazard said stepping up. "You need to calm down. You aren't going anywhere."

"Get that man out of here then." Zack said pointing at Hollander. He could not stand that lunatic's presence. He might have been able to tolerate it before the labs, but now no. Zack backed up into the corner as far away from the scientist he could get. "I don't want him anywhere near me."

"Zack," Tseng said. "What's wrong?"

"I don't care what you believe, but get the Thing away from me." Zack tried to bury deeper into the corner. Then the flash backs started. Knives glinted in the lights. Green surrounded everywhere. He heard screams surrounding him. Zack curled into the tightest ball that he could and shut his eyes tightly. I don't want to remember these! Take them away.

"Zack," A clam washed over him when he heard Ifalna's voice. "Zack you are safe here."

He opened his eyes to find himself curled up in a ball, floating in the lifestream. The peace didn't last long, though. A tremor started at his core and ran along the length of his body. Pain erupted everywhere as the nightmares stated again.

Zack heard another scream, maybe it was his in real life. Zack opened his eyes again to find the scientist replaced by Tseng and a doctor standing over him muttering something incoherent. He was glad that evil man had left. Zack had no clue what he had done to him, all he knew as that he wasn't liking the results.

Zack focused back on the people in front of him in time to see another dreadful sight. Despite his pain, he started to thrash as he saw a needle. Tseng immediately came over to hold down his arm. He knew he was trying to say something, but it was lost in the pain and fear that wrecked his body.

Then all at once, the pain began to fade away to nothing. Zack felt his hold on reality break as he slipped into darkness. He awoke several times. First he was being transported somewhere. Then there was a hand on his shoulder and a clamming voice. Was that Cloud? The worst of it came when he was oriented enough to feel himself being tussled about.

I think I am gonna be sick. Zack wasn't sure if he said this part aloud, but it didn't matter, he thought. He was going to be sick as the tussling worsened. That's it. It's gone.

Zack wasn't sure where he was. Between his eyes not focusing on anything and throwing up, he only was the impression of brown and a little bit of green. He was sure that he heard Cloud talking. Another sense of peace washed over him. He let the darkness wash over him.

Zack knew that he had entered the lifestream as soon as his eyes had closed. He liked it there, the pain that he was feeling reduced greatly. He let himself float. He still wasn't sure what was going one, but he knew that he need help. After what seemed like an eternity, Zack was finally able to formulate his question.

"Ifalna," Zack said softly, his throat hurt. Heck everything hurt. "Help me… please…"

"There is nothing I can do." Ifalna said as her presences surrounded Zack protectively.

Zack was torn from the lifestream. The pain and worry washed over him again. He heard Cloud say something, but Zack couldn't make it out. Then Cloud was shaking him awake again.

"Zack you need to eat something." Cloud said softly shaking Zack.

Zack felt a moan escape his throat as he over sensitive body sent flares of pain to his brain.

"Come on Zack I will feed them to you if I have to." Cloud threatened.

"Tired," Zack managed to say.

"Okay," Cloud said softly. "But you still need to eat."

Dang it Cloud. I don't feel good. Hollander did something to me. I am in serious pain and you want me to eat some stupid crackers. Zack wanted to yell at Cloud, but the concern in his friend's voice reminded he spent caring for his comatose friend. "K."

How he'd managed it, Zack would never know. Nevertheless, he somehow grabbed the cracker and ate it. Feeling satisfied, he began to let sleep wash over him.

"Good." Cloud's voice brought him back to reality. "You have five left."

Zack ended up eating the rest after Cloud's constant nagging annoyed him. Was this how Cloud felt when Zack was trying to look after him?

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

"Zack," Zack opened his eyes at Ifalna's voice.

"I am really tired and scared," Zack mumbles. "I don't feel good at all."

"It is part of what they did." Ifalna sounded concerned for the young man.

Zack shuddered, trying to keep the cold away and the pain at bay. "What's gonna happen?"

"I am not sure, but I can tell you that not all of it will be permanent," Ifalna said.

"Will I be able to come back?" Zack asked looking around the beauty of the lifestream. It wasn't just green as everyone thought, but a rainbow of colors twisting and colliding make a world kaleidoscope. It was a safe place where nightmares and people couldn't reach him.

"I am truly sorry," Ifalna said as her presence wrapped around Zack. "This will be your last time, until you die."

Even though the lifestream was never cold before now, Zack started to feel cold. A numb cold ripped Zack from his safe place and into darkness twisting around his core.

"I'm cold." Zack said between chattering teeth. Zack could hear Cloud get up and move to him. He flinched when Cloud's hand touched his forehead, adding to the cold already racking his body.

"Zack, you're burning up. We need to get this fever down." Cloud sounded worried

"I am too tired." Zack said weakly.

"I know." Cloud said softly.

Zack felt apart of him slowly being removed as he gave into the pain and fear. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" Cloud sounded confused.

"I can't fight it anymore."

"What are you fighting? What did they do to you?" Zack knew that his friend would do anything for him. However, this was a fight only for Zack and he lost.

"I'm sorry… bye, Cloud."

Zack felt like he was falling down a black pipe. Zack was afraid to see the light at the end of the tunnel. His fear only worsened when he saw a sleeping Jenovah. His heart skipped a beat as Jenovah's eyes snapped opened.

"So, you are the one who was sent here to destroy my beautiful feature?" Jenovah's voice seemed to snake its way through Zack. "Well that is going to change."

Zack tried to run as a clawed hand reached out for him. Fear started to shake his body as he realized he couldn't move. Jenovah's hand came crashing down on Zack.

Okay so now you know a part of what they did to him. If you didn't catch it. Hollander injected Jenovah cells in him. This part is going to play a big part in the story itself. The other thing that Hollander did will be reviled next chapter.

Review please!
