I normally have no explanations in all of my stories, but here I have to give another one. At my first time I played FF7 walked I up the whole darned ShinRa HQ, yup all 60 stories. I do not own CC so I got no idea where the ShinRa academy is; in my head is a picture of the HQ where they all lived and the training facilities somewhere else. But even with 60 stories they must met at least once, so here enter our favorite evil, Sephiroth!
The instructor had told the class "You're doing something different today." Now stood the whole class in a building and looked around. "Where are we?" asked a man. Before the instructor could answer came a few men in and sat down at a panel. "Oh hi Cloud. You replace Zack again?" The instructor looked at the man, then at Cloud. "You been in here once before?" The man chuckled "Once? Who are you? He's …." The man noticed that Cloud shook his head desperately and said. "Is the friend of Zack Fair. He was here with him a few times!" then he winked at Cloud. Quinn, Joe and Darryl tried to hide their grins. The instructor turned back to the class. "Today you will train in the two big simulators. We have a little surprise for you!"
"Wow this thing is huge!" Darryl looked around; he stood there besides his friends and three other of their class. Joe nodded. "Yes we could have our flight training in here! Cloud do you know….." "No I don't know. I was only once in here." he chuckled. "And that only, because I was reading and not paying attention to where I was going!" "Yes and I almost beheaded you that day!" The seven turned. "Hi Genesis! You train with us?" asked Quinn. "Nope! Here your weapon you going to use. And let the simulator whole." At the door turned Genesis. "And guys?" all looked at him. "What?" asked Cloud with narrowed eyes. "Not everything in here is a hologram!" The surrounding disappeared.
"What did he mean?" asked a man. "I guess we will get company!" said Quinn grimly, Joe nodded. One of the other said. "Oh no, no special training again!" Darryl looked at him. "What you mean?" "Oh we had special training with the SOLDIERS before!" said now Quinn "Yes and pains for three days!" complained Joe. "Oh shit!" that came from another man, only Cloud had not said anything.
"And how are they doing?" asked a man who now stepped up to the panel. The instructor answered. "The fist group is dead, Sir! But the second only lost one man!" The man stepped up to the monitors. "Yes they have a little advantage!" he turned "Ok guys! You go in!" The instructor watched three men enter the simulator. "But Sir! That is not fair! And what you mean by advantage?" One of the man chuckled. "You'll see!" The instructor turned back to the monitor. "Those poor guys!" he thought.
"So far nothing unusual! Cloud this is way too easy!" The group of six sat at a few ruins and took a break. "Joe we lost a man, so it's not that easy!" said one of them, the other nodded. "What Joe ment this cloud be a lot harder! We…" "Shht!" interrupted Quinn "Something Is moving there!" he pointed at the jungle, two men appeared. "Oh boy Rebels!" Quinn stood up, lifted his gun and ended on his butt as someone pulled him back down. "Stay down or you're dead!" hissed a voice "There are more!" Quinn looked at the man. "Where?" "On our right! Keep your head down or…." A shot rang and Joe had a yellow spot on his chest. "Damned I'm dead!" "Then shut up!" giggled Darryl.
Two more shots came, Cloud and another still aimed at the spot from where the shot had come. A man fell out of a tree. "Got that one!" said Darryl. "Yeah! But we need to move. We're too much in the open here!" Soon the five of them were between the trees, then someone grabbed one of the men. "We have company! Holos can't grab you!" said Quinn, Cloud nodded "And I guess those are the SOLDIERS! So…" Another man disappeared. "Run for cover!" screamed Darryl and did just that.
The man chuckled "And now we even the odds." He turned to the men on the panel. "Enter the helicopter!" "But Sir!" "No but. Enter them!" "Even the odds?" The man looked at the instructor. "Yes. The helicopters shoot at everything, that will even the odds!" "Oh god my poor class!" thought the instructor and turned back to the monitor.
"Hey! Are they our friends or not?" Cloud looked up to the helicopter. "I guess not. But they killed one of them at least too, so I guess they are not their friends either!" "Oh man! Them and those! Cloud we are dead!" "Quinn not yet, so move!" A few minutes later reached the two a building and ran into a man. "Damned, oh you're still alive!" "Barely! So Zack here too?" Quinn smiled at Zack. "Yep! But I think the others are dead!" "I say, let's get rid of those helicopters then we continue our little war!" said now Cloud, Zack nodded. "Ok!" The three sneaked out the door.
"Now they work together!" "Yes, if you face two deadly enemies build a union with the less deadly one! Or the one you can kill easier later!" The instructor was now totally confused. "Sir! But that stays in no instructions we have!" The man chuckled "Right, but those three came up with that on their own. See!"
"Hey!" complained Zack. "Sorry buddy! But you are an enemy too!" Cloud grinned at Zack who had two yellow spots on his chest. "And gimme that, you'll get it back later!" Cloud took Zack's sword. "And why…" began Quinn. "One helicopter is left! And it is a little easier with a sword!" Cloud went up the next tree with the sword. But he did not notice that Quinn got grabbed too.
"Oha he's still alive! And where did he hide?" "And how come this infantry man knows ….Had he private lesions in that too?" "No official ones, but he knew before that how to do this!" In the meantime stepped Quinn and Zack out the simulator. "He will be alright; he's alone now in there!" Zack spotted a man, looked around and groaned "Oh no he's dead!" Quinn looked at him. "Why did…Oh hi Angeal!" then it hit Quinn. "You were three in there? Poor Cloud! And who…." "Sephiroth!" said Zack quietly.
Cloud noticed Quinn and Zack were gone. Now he tried to find the goal. Taking out a few rebels he reached a town. "Ok in one of those buildings must be the goal, but which?" Cloud looked around; a pair of eyes watched him.
"What does he do now?" "He knows he reached the goal, but he….Oh smart move!" again looked the instructor back to the monitor.
Cloud went from building to building and looked very careful though the windows. "There he is!" he thought as he spotted the yellow button. He went to the door; the building was empty that he had seen. As he stood at the door stopped Cloud for a moment, then turned really quick. A blade pointed to his throat. "Got ya!" Cloud looked at the silver haired man. "Uh Sir!" "What boy?" said the man. "Look down!" The man did. "Oh man! This is not good!" he said as he noticed the blade in front of his abdomen. The surrounding disappeared.
"Ok no survivors! Sephiroth you underestimated him!" Sephiroth lowered the sword. "Lazard! I know!" he looked at Cloud. "But not next time!" Cloud lowered the blade too. "We'll see!" The instructor came in. "And now you explain to me how you did that!" Cloud groaned.
