Love

"Cloud... Run... CLOUD, NO!"

Zack Fair sat up, his eyes wide with fear, only pausing to cringe at his wounds. The startled man looked around, noticing that he was in a hospital. He then surveyed his own body, seeing that he was covered in bandages. Zack then saw a nurse come in, "Oh! You're awake!"

Zack faltered for a moment, then asked, "Where am I?"

The nurse switched out the bag of his IV, "In the hospital, of course. You were discovered, full of bullets and almost dead."

Zack then asked, "Am I near Midgar? Or the Shinra base?"

The nurse looked confused, clearly wondering if Zack was mentally stable, "Sir, what are you talking about? Do you even remember what planet you're on?"

"Um..."

"You're on Cocoon."

"..."

Zack soon learned that a group of traveling people found him, in the middle of nowhere, nearly dead. This perplexed Zack, but he chose not to comment anymore, since he didn't want to be sent to a loony bin. After a few weeks, he was released, then he decided to learn more about this world.

Of course, the first day out, he got into trouble.

And all he did was ask a couple of soldiers about the creatures known as L'Cie.

God knows what really happened, but it ended with Zack facing the end of a machine gun.

Joy...

Zack, with no weapon whatsoever, yelped, "Wait! I didn't mean to offend you!" He winced when the soldier shot near his foot, "Shut up! You must be working for the Fal'Cie, scum!"

And that led to Zack being arrested and put on a train to somewhere called the 'Pulse'. Whatever it is, Zack didn't like it one bit. The soldiers made him put on this ridiculous robe, then they set off to a majorly destroyed place (Zack didn't know what the hell they called it). As soon as they got there, the massacre started with a soldier shooting a mother, holding a baby, in the face, then watching her fall over the side, the baby still in her arms. They then shot an old man, then his adult son and daughter, then others. Zack almost threw up from the smell of the blood. Unable to do anything, Zack resigned himself to his fate when the guns turned onto him. He looked down, closing his eyes, waiting for the darkness of death, but it never came.

The SOLDIER looked up to see the soldiers dead, several unrobed people standing over them. One of them, a man with long blonde hair, looked at the few survivors, "You all alright?"

Seeing as the other people were too afraid to answer, Zack stepped forward, "Yea, we are. Who are you?" He took off the hood of his robe just to show the odd man who he was potentially messing with.

The man said, "Snow." The others, a girl with two pink ponytails, and a man with a black afro, stepped up also. The girl said, "I'm Vanille." The other grunted, "Sazh is the name." Snow looked at Zack, then asked, "What's your name? And everyone else's?"

Zack said, "I don't know about everyone else, but I'm Zack Fair." The other people didn't answer, trying to figure out what happened and if these new people were on their side or not.

Snow paused for a second, then said, "Zack... I recognize you... You're that guy we found almost dead!"

"You guys are the ones who found me?"

Vanille nodded, "Yea, we thought you weren't going to make it, but Lightning assured us you would! She was a lot more positive than she is usually!"

"Lightning?"

Sazh said, "Another person in our group. She and Hope are somewhere else."

Zack thought about this for a moment. Maybe he could convince these people to let him tag along so he could meet this 'Lightning'. Well, sounds like a good plan. He said, "I want to come along with you. I don't care what you do or what you are or any of that bs, but I can tell you're good. Plus, you'll need someone like me."

Sazh snapped, "Why would we need you?"

"Because, who else would help you escape those guys coming at us?"

They all glanced at the large group of soldier coming at them, then Snow said, "Deal. Lets go!" With Zack's help, they evacuated the innocents, then set on their journey to find Lightning and Hope.

Zack may have fallen in love with a women he's never met.

Like hell he's going to give up looking for her.


Sorry guys! I started this a few weeks ago, then I forgot all about it! So, there is the L chapter. And also, since I'm heading to Disney World next Wednesday, in the spirit of love and imagination, I'm going to be making songfics for various Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts pairings using Disney Songs! First up, a Fairron fic using the amazing sing by Phil Collins, You'll Be Iin My Heart, from the movie Tarzan, so look for it. Also, please review. I'll take anything, even a heart or smiley face. Thanks! This is Puppytime, trying to get through high school. Bye!
