Jade is the ever confident aunt to both Hojo and Sephiroth. To Jade, nobody are more valuble and precious then those two whom she treats like they were her own children. Jade was once an experienced Chi Witch who helped the innocents from evil back in her young days in China. While her Kung Fu skills and meditating abilites are still with her, she lost her powers of the Chi magic when Hojo was just a young toddler. She gave all her Chi magic to Hojo so he could have magic on his side, knowing of his destiny as Sephiroth's guardian. Jade went to the Middle Continents (Uhh...you know, the continents where FF7 takes place) and there she later trained Hojo to fight and use his magic when he came there as a teenager with Vincent. Jade is full of magic and amazement. Her energetic spirit and her motherly attitude will make anyone feel right at home. She is usually optimistic and rarely ever cries or gets sad.
The police officer was everything the nurse was; fast, powerful, and deadly. He was another one of the Dark Moon Wizards and his goal was as straight forward as the nurse; get rid of Sephiroth before it's too late.
Hojo manage to grab his motorcycle and drove of with Sephiroth clinging onto his waist. The police officer, however, had no use for a car, he ran with his own two fast feet. He was, after all, a wizard. His speed match that off a cheetah. He showed no sign of slowing down, but speeding up. He was now next to Hojo and Sephiroth.
"I hate evil wizards." Hojo grumbled, "Okay, hang on Sephiroth, I'm gonna try to loose him." Knowing Hojo, Sephiroth grabbed on for dear life to Hojo's waist. He knew Hojo was gonna do something crazy.
Hojo whipped out an ofuda from his labcoat and shouted, "Speed!" Before anything else could be said, the motorcycle went twice its speed. it was merely a white and blue blur with black to top it off, thanks to Sephiroth's clothings. Many people in cars and sidewalks wondered what just happen. Luckily for Hojo and Sephiroth. they merely thought it was the wind. The police man, on the other hand, didn't seem all that concern about being caught running faster then an average human could run in one year. Luckily, the people were pretty dense as usual.
"Man, that police cop must've been in the Olmypics or something."
"Yea, look how fast he is!"
"He's a blur!"
"Looks like he's trying to catch someone...a thief, a murderer?"
"Damn it, that cop is still fast!" Hojo looked back and saw the officer catching up, "I really need faster speed ofudas." Sephiroth's hope seems to be dimming down as the cop was catching up faster and faster every bypassing second.
"Don't worry, Sephiroth, I won't let anyone get ahold of you, ya hear!?" Hojo shouted to Sephiroth, sounding awfully angry, "I'll die for you, kid!" Sephiroth was never used to Hojo's seriousness, maybe because it was pretty rare when he held that, but he knew he could trust Hojo with his life. After all, he has been doing so for the past 10 years and he was still breathing, now was he?
"Man, I must have something in here to stop that killer cop from making a skish-a-bob outta us!" Hojo pondered. He though for some sort of brilliant idea, all the while trying to excape the grasp of the police cop.
"You cannot escape the wrath of the Dark Moon Wizards!" the cop shouted, "If we die, more will come!"
"I know, I know!" Hojo shouted, "I heard that one before...like 10 times!"
"Then surrender your child to us, the Dark Moon Wizard." the cop shouted again.
"He ain't my kid!" Hojo also shouted again, "And I'll never turn him over to the likes of you and your evil kind!"
The argument went on for a while. Sephiroth clung onto Hojo tighter and watched the two argue. This was stupid. He wished for some sort of miracle. he sniffed a bit, but then, full forces of tears flew from his glowing eyes. He wailed.
"Oh, crap, not again!" Hojo groaned, "Can't a day go by without you crying, kid?!"
Sephiroth bawled like crazy. He clunged onto Hojo and buried his face on his labcoat. It was obviously starting to get a wet spot.
"Uh...Sephiroth, could you NOT cry on my labcoat!" Hojo shouted, "I'm sorry for being rude, but you're not the only one in a devastated situtation here!" Sephiroth was quite thrown back by Hojo's remark, but he was right. The two were both in a crisis. Sephiroth wiped the tears from his eyes and pushed his long bangs from his face. He then remember the hat Hojo gave him. He felt it and started to sob. He wished his father was here. Although he never truly met him, maybe he could have done something...something...something like...whisking both him and Hojo.
Sephiroth suddenly felt different. He felt like there was someone close to him other then Hojo or the cop...almost like a spiritual person. Sephiroth suddenly gasped when he saw a man with dark, black hair, eyes lavender in color, wearing a blut suit. He was a ghost or something! He smiled and stared at Sephiroth. Sephiroth gasped. This man looked familiar. The mysterious ghost man raised his arm and a bright flash of white light envelop the area where Sephiroth, Hojo, and the cop was.
It was over pretty quick. Sephiroth and Hojo were still in their same position as before, but the cop was nowhere to be seen. Hojo noticed this and quickly parked his motorcycle next to a sidewalk and got off. He was confused. His ofuda certainly didn't do it. Hojo scratched his head and searched everywhere for the cop and whoever pulled off that mysterious stunt. Sephiroth was in shock then confusion. That mysterious ghost saved him and Hojo. He looked familiar. Hmm....did Sephiroth saw him somewhere?
Home wasn't a pleasant ride home. Both Hojo and Sephiroth looked in every direction, seeing if the cop or anyone else was after them. They manage to reach home.
"Holy Lifestream!" Jade cried out, "You two look like a pair of ghosts!"
Ghosts, she's one to talk. Sephiroth was sure he saw one. His wizardry instincts could not have stirred him wrong. Reeve once told him that no matter what age a magic user are, they can sense other people with magic or any supernatural being. Sephiroth felt a bit dizzy.
"Sephiroth, you okay?" Hojo asked his small, fragile nephew, "You wanna go to your room?" Sephiroth nodded. What with all the experiments and the cop chasing after him, he really wanted to see bed. Hojo carried the young wizard and took him up to his room. Sephiroth's tail was bushy from fright.
He slept an awful long time. He kept dreaming of the ghost that had saved his life. He sure did look like someone he saw. Maybe he saw him in a picture or maybe he saw him when he was younger. Sephiroth had a pretty good memory for such a small child. His sleep was disturbed by his growling stomach. He had skipped dinner and ended up sleeping the whole night. Everyone worried. Morning arrived the next day. A sunday.
"Sephiroth, wake up!" Hojo shouted. He was in casuals today. No hint of a labcoat anywhere. Nope, just a green shirt and blue pants with huge boots with untied shoelaces on his right boot, "Sephiroth, you okay!?"
Sephiroth heard the yelling of Hojo and groaned. He saw it was 10 in the morning and groaned once more. He really didn't wanted to get out of bed, but his growling stomach convinced him why he should get out. Rising from his bed, the young child dressed himself and headed downstairs where an impatient Hojo was waiting, a pair of scissors around his fingers. Sephiroth was confused.
"Uhh...your aunt though it was time to give you a haircut." Hojo said, "Said your bangs are starting to grow too long, so I'm just gonna cut about half of its length...is that okay, kid?" Sephiroth didn't care, so he nodded. He was more concern about the ghost.
"Okay, get on the chair." Hojo motion the child. Sephiroth did so and soon, Hojo wrapped his entire body below his neck with a long white tablecloth, "I'm sure Aunt Jade is gonna kill me for using her tablecloth to take all that hair, but I couldn't find anything else to use." Sephiroth sighed. That Hojo, so carefree when his life wasn't in danger or such. Sephiroth gave his usual worried face and Hojo quickly noticed.
"Hey, cheer up, little fellow." Hojo smiled, "You're still alive, aren't ya?" Sephiroth slowly nodded.
"Look, I know you've been through a lot, but I'm here for you." Hojo tried to soothe Sephiroth's fear, "I promise you, I will never ever let you die." Sephiroth nodded again. This was not working out the way he thought it was.
".....Tell you what, I'll take you out for some burgers and fries." Hojo quickly thought of, "I'll go, you'll go, Seify and Hunter, too! What do ya say?" That did sound like fun, but he was afraid of the Dark Moon Wizards, it could be anyone!
"I'll also bring Reeve and Cait Sith so the whole guardians can watch over ya!" Hojo smiled once more, "It'll be fun!" Sephiroth pondered, then nodded.
"Great, then it's settled!" Hojo smiled.
By that time, Sephiroth's hair was trimmed. His bangs were shorter, now up to his eyes. He seem to like it. Long hair was almost always a problem for him.
"Well, get ready while I call the others...and replace the table with another tablecloth."
Sephiroth scanned the huge living room and saw a picture atop the shelf above the chimney. It was a man smiling, the house where Sephiroth lives as the background. This man had black hair, lavender eyes, and a blue suit. Sephiroth gasped and stared deeper into the picture. THAT's him! The man, the ghost who saved him and Hojo's lives the other day! No wonder he looked familiar! It was his father....
They were in the Midgar Happy Burger place (Gay name, I know), and they were all there, Sephiroth the little Moon Wizard-in-training, Seify the sneaky puppy, Hojo the Chi Wizard, Reeve the expert Moon Wizard, Cait Sith the clever cat, and Hunter the rookie. They were all chatting as if there were no problem left in their lives. It was like the Dark Moon Wizards were never part of their lives in the first place.
"Man, we should do this more offen!" Hojo smiled.
"Yes, we should." Reeve also smiled, "This thing you call a burger is quite tasty, I can see why it is such a popular food."
"And you said all modern foods are bad, Reeve." Cait Sith ate his fries.
"Cait Sith, hush, you are nothing more then a stuffed animal in here!" Reeve whispered, "People will be in panic if they saw a talking cat."
"Well, sor-ry!" Cait hissed and pretended to look lifeless. Seify manage to sneak in the fast food joint because dogs weren't allowed, but she wanted to be there for Sephiroth....and for some of their foods. Everything was going fine until...
BEEP! BEEP!
Hojo's PHS rang and he groaned. He digged through his pocket until he pulled out a white PHS with blue swirls around it. It was PHS blitzball....only it wasn't a ball.
"Hello?" Hojo seemed pissed off. It didn't take long before Hojo yelled from shock.
"WHAT?! How?! NOW!? THIS CAN'T BE!"
"What, what is it!?" Reeve shouted.
"I'll be right over!" Hojo clicked his PHS shut, "Guys....Rune's water just broke!"
"OH MY GOD!" came everyone but Sephiroth.
The team rushed off on Reeve's car which was a blue van. Reeve was behind the wheels, driving like a maniac.
"Slow down, SLOW DOWN!" Cait cried out, "You're gonna get us killed...or arrested!"
"Shut up, Cat, I'm gonna be a father and I ain't missing out on my own kid's birth!" Sephiroth, Hunter, and Seify both approved. They wanted to see the newborn child as well.
"Fine, but if we get killed, consider the kid fatherless!" Cait Sith crossed his arms.
The van drove like the wind. They would have used magic to go faster, but they already exposed too much magic in the past and they weren't THAT risky. Hojo's PHS rang again.
"H-Hello?" Hojo was shaking everywhere from being nervous.
"Hojo...we...we have a problem!" came Jade's voice.
"What sort of problem?" Hojo asked, now even more nervous.
"We..we were chased by what appears to be a teacher from Sephiroth's school....she saids she's a Dark Moon Wizard and demanded Sephiroth." Jade was also shaking, "We refused and made haste and now, we are in Junon."
"YOU'RE IN JUNON!?" Hojo was near explosion level. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET TO JUNON?!"
"By taxi plane, what else!?" Jade shouted, "Now we are....well...in an old deserted house near the ocean."
"Right, we'll find ya, we'll be right there!" Hojo nodded, now nervous and devastated. "Reeve, we gotta-"
"-Go to Junon, I know, hold on tight!" Reeve drove the van to a deserted alley in the city and using his magic, transformed into a small airplane.
"Wow, this guy really is all powerful!" Hunter gasped. The plane took off.
Junon wasn't that far off. When in an airplane, it takes about half an hour to reach. They used Hojo's speed ofuda to get there. They searched near the ocean until they spotted a woman throwing dark energy balls at something. The team quickly landed their airplane far from a distance so as not to get hit and ran the rest of the way.
The team caught the teacher off surprised as Hojo threw a fire ofuda in the teacher's direction. He got her leg and she screeched in pain.
"Great, that should slow her down a bit!" Hojo smiled victoriously. Hojo didn't stay long for the rest of the battle, he went to Rune.
The teacher charged up her energy balls and shot in different directions. Everyone dodged out of the way. Reeve counterattacked again with his own energy ball, gold in color. One got her eyes and she grew blind for a second. When she regain them back, Cait Sith was aiming for her.
"MEOW!!!!!" He gave the teacher the scratching of her lifetime.
"Get off me, you hideous monster!" She flung the black cat who knocked Hunter.
"Man, I am getting really tired of people doing that to me." Cait sighed.
In the old house was a sweaty Rune and the two Aunt and Uncle grabbing each of her hands.
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!?" Rune was beyond pissed, "The baby is about to come out and you just get here!?"
"Hey, I made it in time, didn't I?!" Hojo shouted, "Okay....guess there isn't any doctor...I gotta be delievering the little tyke."
"Wait, do you have any clue what you're doing!?" Rune gasped, almost out of breath.
"Hey, you learn a little thing or two about these kinda things when you train to be a scientist."
"But-"
"Trust me."
The fight was devastating. The teacher kept her aim on Sephiroth. but she also tried to battle off the others as well who were using whatever they had in their disposal so as the teacher couldn't even get three feet near Sephiroth. Hunter used whatever karate he knew, Seify bited, Cait Sith scratched, and Reeve used his magic. Sephiroth stood there in shock and horror. He was afraid to do anything. He felt guilty for letting his most trusted friends fight for him. There he was standing there, doing nothing but watching in guilt and horror.
"YAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Rune yelled like there was no tomorrow as the baby was giving way.
"Damn, you yell anymore louder and all of our eardrums except yours will explode!" Hojo shouted.
"Well...I'm..giving life...and it hurts!!!!" Rune shouted, "You...stupid...man!!!!" Hojo groaned in frustration and concentrated on the baby.
"Okay, honey, breath, breath." Jade instructed.
"And give a fine mighty push!" Hiroshi came in. Rune did so, she used every muscle, every strength in her to get that baby out.
"It's coming, it's coming!!!" Hojo gasped.
The teacher showed no signs of dying out. She was still the same as ever, but more beaten down. It looked as though she could take more of the abuse she was getting.
"You shall never stop me!" The teacher shouted, "I am stronger then any of the Dark Moon Wizards you have faced so far!"
"That doesn't mean we will give up so easily!" Hunter came in, "Sephiroth is our friend and we won't let him die, we won't!"
"We'll give our lives for him!" Seify joined in.
"We'll always protect him!" Cait Sith shouted
"He is the key to the Chosen Ones!" Reeve came in, "The whole galaxy depends on him!"
Sephiroth was deeply amazed. He was near tears. He saw how his friends seem to care so greatly for him. Tears fell from his eyes and he watched the brave guardians fight for Sephiroth.
"Okay, everyone, give it all you've got!" Reeve shouted.
Hunter nodded and made a leaping kick, knocking the teacher to her knees. Then Seify gave a might headbutt which made her fall face flat on the ground. She got up and Cait Sith gave yet another scratch, one more harsher then before. Lastly, Reeve charged up his wand and gave a full blast to the teacher, destroying her. Everyone sighed and dropped down from exhaustion. Sephiroth ran to Reeve and the others and cried.
"Sephiroth, do not cry, we are alive and here for you." Reeve cradled the poor child. In Sephiroth's mind, he was sorry. He was sorry for letting them suffer through all this. he wanted the killing and violence to end. He hated this. It was his fault that his friends risk their own lives to protect him. They should just lead normal lives. It was all his fault-
"Wahhh!"
Everyone froze. Was that a baby's cry?
"OH MY GOD, IT'S A BOY!!!!" Hojo shouted.
"The baby!" Seify gasped. The team went inside and witness the miracle.
Rune had a dirty blanket covered around her. Jade and Hiroshi held each other's hands and was overjoyed. Hojo was the happiest the most, in his arms, wrapped up in another blanket, was the baby. Everyone was no longer tired.
"He's here, finally here!" Hojo had tears coming out,"I'm a dad!"
"What a cute baby." Seify smiled.
"Wow, his really small and wrinkly." Hunter was fascinated, as thought he never saw a baby in his entire life.
"He looks so...peaceful." Cait Sith smiled, "Wow...now I wish I had a kid...err...kitty."
Sephiroth came closer to the baby and saw the small infant.
"Hey, Sephiroth...you got yourself a cousin." Hojo smiled, "Ain't he something?"
Sephiroth never saw anything like this before. His guilt left him and he instantly bonded with the baby. He felt love all over again. The baby seem to be looking at him as well...but no, the baby was actually looking...at the ocean near him....
"Three of my best warriors....dead!" Mr. Jetson shouted, "What must I do to rid us of that pathetic little hooligan!?"
"Hmm...another Dark Moon Wizard wouldn't cut it! If I keep doing this, I'll endanger my own kind..."
"....I must go myself."
"I shall get that child killed and destroyed!"
"Heh..heh...heh...not even Sephiroth's guardians can get pass me...I am unstoppable!"
"I defeated the great Shiruni himself thousands of years ago, getting rid of a child should be no hard task for me!"
"That child will have an unhappy future indeed..."
Rune was weak all the time while she was in the hospital. So weak to she her child. The baby was in the baby room where Hojo was watching over from a glass wall. He was in a total trance. Sephiroth and the others came to visit daily from time to time.
It was well past a week and the baby was ready to be taken home. Hojo and the others went to the hospital where they would bring home the new baby. Hojo now hopes Rune would marry him so that he can be the family he always wanted to be. but when he got there, he heard some shocking news.
"Mr.Hojo, I'm afraid...your wife is no longer here." the doctor said.
"WHAT!?" Hojo shouted, "Is..is she...dead?"
"No, Mr.Hojo...she....ran off." the doctor answered, "Leaving the baby behind." This was quite startling to Hojo and the others.
"But why would she do that?" Hojo asked, sobbing.
"I don't know, I never had a wife." the doctor shrugged.
"...She's not my wife...she's my girlfriend." Hojo sniffed.
"EX-girlfriend now." Cait corrected.
"Cait, hush!" Reeve hissed.
"....I thought she loved me...and our son." Hojo sniffed again, "..............Let me take my child and I..I'll be...on my way."
The road home was silent. No one dare uttered a word. Hojo held the tiny bundle of joy and occasionally stared at him, then the window. Sephiroth watched Hojo from the backseat, having that guilty feeling again. Maybe it was him who drove off Rune? Perhaps the whole family was too bizarre for her to handle...or was it that, she never loved Hojo to begin with and only wanted to use him for some reason. Whatever it was, Sephiroth just felt guilty.
Hojo placed the child in his crib. He watched the baby fall asleep. Sephiroth entered the room. Hojo saw him.
"His...name is...what my name is...Shing Chi Fa." Hojo sniffed, "I'm glad to have a son...but...I don't have...a family."
Sephiroth came to Hojo and hugged him tightly, Hojo returned the hug. Sephiroth, while hugging, kept his glowing eyes on the child. Hojo was protecting Sephiroth from evil and Sephiroth wanted to do the same with little Shing Chi Fa. Whether it be wizard instinct or not...he sensed powerful magic coming from the baby....
Vocab of the Day
Moon Wizard/Witches: Men and Women with the powers of the moon. They get their powers from the moon, Depending on the moon's shape, their powers increase or decrease. There used to be a large number of them, but the Dark Moon Wizards manage to wipe off almost their entire population. The only two left are Reeve and Sephiroth.
Taxi Planes: They are like Taxi Cabs, but you ride an airplane. Of course, it only travels short distances such as Midgar to Junon and not long distance such as getting to Costa Del Sol from Midgar.
Author's Notes: Wow, that was long! Well, Incase you wanted to know, that little baby is really Rufus Shinra....but to find out how he "becomes" Rufus Shinra...well, find out in Chapter 8. Until then, peace out!
