"Why are you calling me brother? Who are you!?" - "I'm you! I'm your shadow!"




"One and two... Where is three? Three just left, that's the end..."

Everything was white. His own reflection in the mirror. No doors. So cold, so quiet.

"Are you sure that's neccessary?"

"Yes, we can't let him get out..."

The two scientists behind the glass mirror were observing Zack closely for the last two hours. After Walter Shinra ordered them to inject him with her... The Jenova...

"What do you mean, mister President?" - Zack asked the man behind his desk. Walter Shinra was a bit fat guy, but his expression made him look just like Ra, the most highest Egyptian God... No wonder, everyone were afraid of him. Or, of his power.

"We're sorry, but you can't leave the headquarters from now on. You're grounded for the time being."

"But, but... Why!?"

The President moved his chair away from the desk and stood up.

"You were in contact with someone, that's isn't very friendly towards our company. We are afraid, that something could happen with you."

"...What? The little flower girl? That's who you're talking about?"

"Precisly."

"You've got to be kidding me! She looks like she's 15 years old! How can she do anything to me!?"

"Will you remember about orders?"

"I'm sorry mister President, but if I won't know the truth about that order, I won't leave this room."

"Very well."

Right after that, a gunshot was heard and Zack slowly fell down on the ground, unconsciouss.

"One tranqualizer should do that." - a teenager guy with red hair came out of the shadows, exposing himself to the president.

"Good job, Reno. Come in!"

Two grunts came in from the closed doors into the room. They both saluted.

"You know what to do. Take him away."

The soldiers grabbed Zack by his arms and they dragged him away towards the elevator.

"Reno. I'm opening the dearch for the flower girl again. But this time, you're in charge. I don't want Tseng to have anything to do with it."

"Yes sir. Anything else?"

"That is all. You may go."

The president turned back and went back to his chair, and Reno left the room so quietly, as he came in.

"The third Sephiroth clone is coming... My, my, this is getting interesting."

"Your skin like angel wings..."

"What is he saying?"

"Your heart like a new home for me..."

"Is that the effect of the Jenova cells?"

"Your eyes are a blue sky..."

"The displays are acting strange..."

"And you're my brother... And I'll kill you all..."

"God dammit, this is strange... Get professor Hojo over here!"

"He stood up! He's running at us! Damn, look out!!!"





"This is what happened, sir." - said Tseng, giving the audiotape to President Shinra.

"He escaped?"

"Yes. Strange enough, when the displays gone mad in Zack's room, the same happened inside Sephiroth's chamber."

"So you're saying, that the Jenova cells are..."

"Linked with each other? Yes, probably. But they can't work without others. If you'll seperate them, they'll try to reunite again. That's what happened with out second test subject."

"What exactly happened to him? I wasn't informed of that."

"Well as you know, we let him loose in Icicle Inn. Rumours went, that the subject left the town in the next three days, and head... North. But strangely enough, he was seen in the Midgar Slums, near-death state. The people from the Slums took care of him, probably. But we don't know where is he now exactly."

"Sephiroth is still in a coma. The second test subject is somewhere in the Slums, and Zack Halcyon escaped from the headquarters... To the Slums?"

"This is possible."

"Sent your Turks over there and try to find him. Leave the other guy. I just want Halcyon."

"Yes sir." - Tseng nodded, and left the room.
