Where Light Doesn't Shine
Chapter 2: The Boy Who Almost destroyed the world
Cloud sat with Tifa in an amphibious ship. He sighed miserably, and shook his head while the Turks snickered.
"Hey, Cloud, can't go on one adventure without Tifa, huh?" Reno joked.
"Shut up." Cloud growled back at him.
"Yeah, shut up, or I'll pound you." Tifa glared.
The Turks already know how strong Tifa is, and they know that she's not the one to be messing with. Rude sat next to Reno, snickering while Elena sat next to the metal wall, thinking.
The ship shook, and rocked hard. The passengers screamed, and grunt as they fell on the ground, and roll back and forth. When the ship was mildly calm, Rude walked up to the cockpit, and yelled, "Ok, what the hell is going on here?!"
The pilot replied, "Sorry, but we're trying to dodge the storm as quickly as possible. We're gonna have a bumpy ride."
Rude looked confused, "Storm? There's a storm heading to Nibelheim? When did they say that?"
Reno shook his head sadly, "Rude. you should watch TV more often."
He looked at Reno, and said, "You told me not to watch TV anymore because we were almost late for that one meeting."
**Flashback**
Reno kicked the door open and yelled, "Rude, you idiot! Stop watching TV! We're almost late for the Noh Shin-Ra meeting!"
Rude looked confused again, "WE have a MEETING?!"
Reno smacked himself in the forehead and sighed, and nodded.
**End of Flashback**
"Oh, now I remember!" Rude smiled.
They safely got through the storm and hours passed until they got to the Midgar beach. Midgar was visible on the horizon due to its tall structure. The old city, even from far away, can be seen to be rotting down and plants growing all over the buildings. They took a long hike towards Midgar and stopped in front of the door of Sector 7. Reno let out a deep sigh and said, "Here we are at last. Where is the location of the materials?"
The 5 employees looked around the area, and one replied, "The Shin-Ra building."
The Turks, Cloud, and Tifa looked confused at each other. They wondered why they wanted to go to an abandoned old building. They didn't bother to ask so they hiked through the sectors to get to the upper plate, and at last to the Shin-Ra building.
"Okay, here we are at last: The Shin-Ra building." Tifa said with out any emotion. The building was dark, and ominous. No sign of life walked around or inside it. It was like standing in front of a haunted mansion.
Cloud looked and the building, and quietly said, "Something doesn't feel right."
One of the employees by the name of Bart said, "Well we're finally here. Let's get our butts to work."
Reno walked up to the door and kicked it open. Inside was a dark, endless void. No one can really see anything. Fortunately, Bart brought along a flashlight just in case. The light revealed the Shin-Ra lobby. The lobby was wrecked and broken. The tiles were stained and dirty, and so were the walls. The stains were not ordinary, but looked like blood stains. The bloods stains were all over the wall and the floor, then up to the door of the stair case.
Bart looked at the stains and examined them carefully, "Damn. the blood looks fresh too. That's impossible. What could be living in a place like this?"
Elena spoke in a spooky tone, "There are rumors that the lost souls of the Shin-Ra scientists and some experimental monsters have taken over the Shin-Ra headquarters. I hear that they can suck the life out of you."
Reno shivered and hid behind Rude, "Elena. don't scare me like that." The four other employees didn't look too worried, and chatted among themselves. Cloud looked around suspiciously, and thought, 'The air doesn't feel right.'
Cloud grunted and began walking to the stairs (they can't use the elevators because the power is out, and plus no mako reactors.), "Come guys, I'm on a job here. All you pussies who are scared to go further can wait outside. Come to think of it, I'd rather be inside that outside. Who knows what else lurks out there." After saying that, the group rushed towards the stairs and flashed the flashlight downstairs.
Rude looked down and whistled, "I don't know where the stairs lead to, but damn, it looks like a loooong way down." The group walked down the endless staircase, and finally reached the bottom.
There was a sign that said 'Basement 1'. The place was disheveled, and items, wires, and other things were scattered all over the floor. The group looked around and as the flashlight turned, it stopped on one spot: a glass dome contained a floating figure. The figure was a boy who had blue short hair. He looked like he was around 7 He was placed in the water tank, and seemed to be sleeping.
The party stood silent for a moment and stood in awe. Cloud stared and started to groan, and shook his head a little.
Sephiroth.Hmm? No.that's not him.
"Wow. amazing. I. I've never seen such thing before while I was working in Midgar for the Shinra!" Bart said in amazement and looked carefully at the boy.
Rude looked around suspiciously, and said, "Wait. something's not right. Where are the other four?" The party heard no sign of the other four members. They looked around carefully. It was quiet; deadly quiet. There was a scream; Bart screamed out loud in pain, and dropped the flashlight, and was pulled into the darkness. The Turks, Cloud, and Tifa stood scared and terrified for a moment as they heard painful sounds of screams and yells and cries for help until it finally fades away. They look at where the flashlight is and see blood flowing in the light.
Reno screamed like a girl, and yelled "HOLY $#!%!!!!!!!! LET'S GET THE HELL OUTTA HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone screamed and ran up the stairs while a monster bellowed and followed them, carrying the corpse of Bart in its mouth. Tifa and The Turks reached the lobby and held the door back. They groaned and grunted as they heard violent bangs on the door.
Tifa looked around, and panicked, "W. wait, where's Cloud?!" The Turks looked at each other and became nervous, and opened the door. Cloud pushed them out of his way and ran out of the case. He ran far back and panted heavily, "You. don't. wanna go in there!" They heard a loud roar as the monster came through the door and stood up right. It was difficult to see, but fortunately, the moon gave some light to show the hideous look. The monster stood tall, at least 7 feet high. It looked like a human being with only flesh. The hairs on its head were few, and blood dripped down its jaws. It had sharp, long claws. The scariest feature about this beast was its eyes. It had only one eye on one side, which gave out an ominous red light.
"Everyone get ready, we're gonna have to kill this beast." Cloud drew out his Buster Sword and stood in his fighting stance. Tifa, Rude, and Elena got ready.
Reno smiled nervously at Cloud, and waved, "Hey, I got a great idea! Why don't you guys go on and fight this guy while I go home, and sleep?"
Cloud growled, and yelled, "You could go home to hell for all I care!" and jumped in the air did a powerful down stroke slice on the monster (Braver), followed by a succession of three cross slashes (Cross Slash). The monster fell, but wasn't ready to give up yet. Tifa ran and jumped in the air, performing a front flip then a slammed her foot into the monster's face, knocking it back down (Somersault), and followed up with an uppercut. The monster stumbled backwards, growled ferociously, and glared at Tifa. He did a powerful swing and knocked her back on the floor. Rude jumped in and did a desperate kick between the legs.
Rude's mouth dropped as he notices the kick has no effect, "No. No way. No balls?! Maybe it's female?!" The monster roared and grabbed him and started squeezing him. A cry came from the side as Cloud jumped and sliced off its hand. Rude dropped hard, and tried to crawl away.
Meanwhile, Elena and Reno ran downstairs to get the flashlight, and hopefully find the missing employees. They went downstairs and grabbed the flashlight. They looked around the room, trying to find clues, but only found blood and body parts lying on the ground. Reno soon noticed a small glow behind a wall. He and Elena peeked through and saw the four employees working on a control panel.
"What. are they doing.?" Elena whispered.
Reno shrugged and replied, "I don't know, but whatever it is, it must be stuff to get that power plant operation going."
Elena whispered again, and pointed "Wait. look!" The room began to give off a strange blue light as the employees worked. The wall before them began to separate them, revealing another water tank. This time it contained a boy, about the age of 15, floating silently unconscious in the container. The boy had grey, short hair, and wore nothing but boxers. He was a pretty muscular boy for his age.
One employee spread his arms in the air and cried out, "At last, Professor Hojo's plan is completed! Sephiroth, awaken from your grave!"
The boy slowly opened his green, mako-filled eyes, and narrowed his eyes on the employees.
