Final Fantasy VII - Immortality
Chapter 3
Kyosuke's soft footsteps echoed down the school's hallways as he headed for his room. Finally, his last class of the day was over and he could go hang out with all of his friends. He left the main corridor and entered the hallway to the dormitory areas, looking for room D13. Kyo was a good student in school, and he usually did pretty well. Around this time of year though, he always seemed to suffer the most, mainly because it's when all the parties went on. He was a real smart guy, but he was easily attracted to a good party.
Kyosuke continued down the hallway, passing a security guard on his right. He waved, muttering "Tski oni agake," or in English, "Suffer under the moonlight." If there was one thing he hated, justice was it. Ever since the Shin-Ra Corporation regrouped and returned to normal, he had such a cold hatred for any sort of government official. Shin-Ra, now run by the infamous President Matsumutu, began getting on his nerves. After hearing the news about Cloud Strife and Weapon, and how Rufus was killed, Kyosuke grew happy. A mere day later, Shin-Ra was back in business, which really pissed him off.
Opening the newspaper he had received from one of his friends, he read the top headline. "-=Shin-Ra Opens Up Experiment and Attempts to Re-Create an Ancient=-". He chuckled at the utter insanity of the whole situation. Shin-Ra and Ancients once more, how pathetic-He thought. He walked by a trash can, shoving the paper deep inside it.
Unlocking and opening his door, Kyosuke stepped inside his room. He looked around, finally back home once again. He walked over to his bookcase and laid a small golden locket down on one of its shelves. Removing his trench coat and hanging it on the door, Kyo sat down on his couch, flipping on the TV. He flipped through multiple channels, only getting the basics. Shin- Ra, Shin-Ra, Shin-Ra, Shin-Ra, and Shin-Ra. He sighed, wondering where all the GOOD TV shows went. Kyosuke flipped off the TV and jumped over the couch, landing on his brand-new bed. He stared out his small sunroof into the sky.
From below, Kyosuke saw a blue streak of light fly across the sky. Thinking it was a shooting star, he made a wish. All Kyo ever wanted, was this one special girl named Kaoru. He had loved her ever since the day he set eyes on her, but she never responded. All of his attempts failed. Nothing worked on this girl. He shrugged, reaching for his book, which was beside him. "Page 301: Stryfe _____ - Shin-Ra Project 333X96".
Somehow, Kyosuke got his hands on a Shin-Ra file, and began reading it every night. The excerpt about Stryfe seemed to be a biography, in a sense. He began reading.
-*~Stryfe's Early Childhood to Present Times~*-
*On a dark moonlit night of August in the Sector 3 Slums of Midgar, a boy named Stryfe was born about a day after the war between Shinra and AVALANCHE. Covered in blood, he was put into a tram and taken away from his mother, who was killed because of her strange powers. Stryfe was then put into a top secret Shinra project and made what was known as "Sage", a person similar to the Ancients but more unique and powerful. Since day one, Stryfe was tested for disease, strength, speed, and even powers unrecalled by the human race. This has gone on for years. By the age of 13, Stryfe's so called "powers" have developed faster then they should've from Mako energy being put into his blood stream. Stryfe became insane and broke from his Mako chamber and tried to escape. Many tries have been made, and all have failed. When the day of Meteor had been summoned came, Stryfe had an advantage to leave his horrible life. This time, as stealthily as possible, he escaped into the Slums of Midgar. With barely any clothes, Stryfe ran to a local shop for some goods. When he reached the store, the clerks were horrified beyond belief. From being insulted, Stryfe's eyes began to glow dark red as a huge explosion began to echo through the allies of the Sector. Everyone died except Stryfe. Stryfe walked slowly out from the crater with a set of black clothes. He then found an abandoned facility actually owned by the Shinra Company for storage. Keeping his guard up every second of his life to live, Stryfe walked through the streets and slums of Midgar looking for work or bounties. He sleeps in his little corner-His so-called home.
