"And you're sure she's stable?"
My eyes shot open, and I bolted up.
"Welcome back from the dead kid!" a cheery voice greeted. "We're glad to have you here."
"Yes, welcome." A calming voice said.
"Hey kid, you alright?" Cid's voice asked.
I fell back down, and closed my eyes tight.
"I think she's fine now Cid, no need to worry."
"Aw heck, it's not me, it's a favor."
"Come on, we can tell you care about her."
Just shut up.
"Well, if y'all know so much about me than-"
Just shut up!
"Well, we're sorry Cid."
"Yeah, sure ya are."
"JUST SHUT UP!" I yelled.
After a couple moments of silence, footsteps were heard approaching my sleeping place. Then my hair was grabbed, and I was yanked to the ground. Then they saw my arm.
"The mass murderer of Midgar. I expected someone a little…older."
I looked up and saw a blond with slightly spikey hair and a bad attitude and a giant sword.
I put my head to the ground. "Please just kill me now. I don't want to hurt anyone else." I begged. "I only wanted the world to be the way it was before."
"We might as well grant her wish."
"Cloud!"
I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Come on, get up." The voice of Zack ordered.
"Why?"
"We need to talk."
"I need to die."
I was then picked up, but I didn't resist. I only hoped he would throw me into the ocean. But no, I was dumped on the street.
"What is wrong with you?"
"…"
"In your sleep you said something happened. What happened?"
"…"
"ANSWER ME!" he yelled.
I pushed him back. "This happened." I summoned the blade that killed those people.
"That's Odin's sword. Do you mean…?"
I nodded. "He's inside me."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"…I don't know, but have a score to settle for the ones who cause all of this mess." I said as I walked away.
I'd decided that I would kill the government, and then myself, as punishment for my sins.
Well, now everyone knew me as the Metal Menace. Guards would no doubt be coming any second.
"Stop right there!" speak of the devil. "You are hereby under arrest for mass murder across the land and heresy against your good government." I chuckled. "What's so funny?"
I shook my head lazily, and continued toward the building where they held the others captive.
"H-hey! Stop right there, or we'll open fire!"
I took my hand out of my pocket, and summoned the blade. "You don't want to do that. I won't kill you. No, because I have no reason to. Your only sin is not knowing how corrupt your 'good government' is. You would never have known unless you were born like one of us, like a freak of nature, like SOLDIER."
I withdrew my weapon, and continued walking. No more soldiers came to stop me. Then I got to the building.
I didn't even have to draw my weapon. I just punched through the door with my metal arm. When I got in, everyone was shocked. "Okay everyone, hands behind your back."
They all obeyed, and I tied them up. Then I continued upstairs. There was Sephiroth again.
"But you look…old."
"Yes, that is the natural process of my kind, the monsters." He explained as he charged me. I blocked and retaliated, but he was fast, and he swept me off my feet.
I quickly got up, and punched him in the gut with my metal arm. Then I kicked him, and slashed him just enough to where he wouldn't be able to follow me.
After that I kept going up. Finally, I got to the top floor where all the executives should be.
"Alright you assholes! It's time to give the planet back to the people!" I yelled at them. I saw them laughing their asses off. "What's so funny?"
"Look behind you, little girl."
"Little? I'm not-"
I was interrupted by a katana to the hip bone. I turned around. "B-but there's only one Sephiroth!" instead there was seven. "That's impossible, unless you're using the afterimage technique!"
"These are no afterimages." They all said. "These are my clones. I am all. All is one! Now you can't hope to stop us!"
Then they all knocked me back down the stairs. Now I had to fight seven to one with an injured body. Okay, now I'm screwed.
One of them attempted to stab me in the heart, but I sidestepped, and slashed at him. He dodged and another clipped my leg a little bit. Then another clipped my arm and it kept going.
After that my mind went completely blank.
Literally. I couldn't remember anything, except a small reassuring voice. It sounded so familiar.
Wait, who was I again? Where am I? What am I doing? I couldn't remember. I had a vague face, but no name to go on it. What did I look like?
I…I don't know, but I will find out, no matter what the cost.
