Chapter 8: The End of All Things To Come
He hung in lifelessness, suspended from reality. His only waking moments were ones filled with horror, and in dreams he found no comfort.
He was vaguely aware of Zack's presence next to him, but of anything else, there was no feeling.
Well, there was feeling of something else. The essence...the power that had been described by Sephiroth...the "aura that lay beyond the hills..."
It was growing stronger every day. He could feel it now, as if it infested his entire being. Every day, it grew, creeping through him, beginning to control him...
And every day, Hojo would peer at him and smile.
"Well, well, we are moving along nicely, aren't we? Wouldn't want to disappoint the president..."
"We've got big plans for you."

A/N: Okay, I know this might be a bad place to end it, but you have to figure that after this, the entire game takes place, so I think it's a nice prelude to what the game gives.
Hope everyone enjoyed this story – there's one more chapter after this one thanking all my reviewers.
Until we meet again!
