"Where am ?"
"Where your destined to be."
"Who are you?"
"That's not important."
"What's going on?"
"Don't worried everything will be fine."
"Do you ever give a straight answer."
"It all depends how you look at it."
"Guess not...... Will you at least tell me how I got here?"
"When the time comes everything will make since. Don't worry Sephiroth."

The pink rose petals fell from the ceiling land on Aries's face. She had arrived in the life stream a few days earlier. Her and a couple more people were accepted in around the same time but she didn't know who they were. Since she had arrived she wasn't allowed to see anyone except Ilfana and Pr. Gast, She knew why and today was that reason. Something had gone wrong after the defeat of Sephiroth and Jenova. The balance of the planet had become unstable and it angered the four guardians that used to protect the four realms of the earth. She and the other people new to the life stream were meeting to hear about this problem.
Aries pulled on a deep red tank-top, a pair of sliver jeans, and pulled a purple bandana around her hair. She grabbed her staff and materia and went for the meeting.
-----------
The meeting room was a fair size and look much like a conference room. Aries was the first one to arrive. She sat in peace for a few minutes wondering who the other would be until a fibular voice broke the salience.
"Hey Aries babe!" She darted around to see the one she had missed for years.
"Zack!?"
"The one and only, well now at least." Aries jumped off the couch and ran around to hug him.
"Zack it's so nice to see you again!" she cried hugging him much to Zacks pleasure.
"I've missed you to... but please don't pop my ribs!" She let go of him and looked up and smiled.
"I see you haven't cut your hair yet!"
"Why would I? It's not to long!"
"Is so!" She teased
"Is not!" He jokes back
"Is so!"
"Is not!"
"Is so!"
"Not!"
"So!"
"Not!"
"Is so and that's final!" Aries laughed, nothing had changed, Zacks was still the same loveable guy he had always been. The two continued talking not noticing the dark figure that had walked in behind them. He leaned against the wall and flicked his strawberry blond hair out of his eyes. He new he didn't belong in the promise lands. He had done not a thing to deserve it. The Centra had said that they needed him though. He didn't feel comfortable being in such a place, but it was either that or suffer in a place unmentionable.
A bit later the former leader of the Turks Tsang wondered in and struck up a conversation with Rufus that barely consisted of eight words. Neither were in a very talkative mood.
Zack had grabbed an apple from the table and started munching away still talking.
"Good I see your all here!" A Cherrie voice came from no where. A figure started to form in the middle of them. He had messy black hair cut that came down to past his ears and wore completely black. Their was a gold and silver picture of the earth on the front of his shirt. Written in ridicules font was the word peace. He had the strangest looking arm band wrapped around his left arm that looked like someone had taken a metal close hanger and madly attacked him with it. He had several odd tattoos down his arm and on his face and wore a massive smile.
Everyone stood motionless until Rufus broke the silence
"And who might you be?"
"Oh ya I though you might be wondering that. My name is Challyn, but that sounds to formal, just call me Cal!"
"Cal?" Zack said "Ummm.. Just a question, just exacially who are you?"
"Oh ya I completely forgot about that. I'm the life stream!" At that Zack started chocking on his apple, Aries stared pounding him on the back, Tsang stared wide eyed, and Rufus just smirked.
"Um excuse me?" Zack said between gasped for air
"I'm the presents of the life stream!"
"YOUR the life stream?" Tsang said still bewildered.
"That's right! Now about your mission.."
"We have a mission ?"Aries said speaking for all of them. Cal sighed.
"you guys weren't told much were you? Ok I'll start from the beginning. After Jenova was destroyed the balance of the earth was corrupted. This made the four guardians of the earth mad."
"What four guardians?" Rufus butted in.
"You don't know about the four guardians?" Cal asked. The four shook their heads in time.
"Humans are more helpless these days then I though. Their are four guardians protecting the four corners of the world. They all used to live in harmony until the balance was corrupted now they have gone mad. The planet is becoming weaker by the day with out the guardians and to make it worse the guardians have decided to destroy what every they can and to plot against each other. You see though the bad side is that we can destroy them. The world need the four guardians to keep the earth alive so we can't destroy them."
"So what are supposed to do then?" Zack said confused out of his mind.
"Well you see their is only one person capable of able to calm these creatures." He glanced at Aries
"Would you by any chance stand up?" She nodded and stood up walking a bit closer to him. H waved his arms and started to glow. The staff in Aries' hands started to glow also as it slowly transformed into something new. It was much longer and was a sliverish blue color. Their was a clear crystal at the end that had the different consolations engraved into it. their was also stars and moons patterned around the silver part of the staff and beautiful looking sun in the middle.
"This is the Rod of Sestiny. I was told to give you this. It is what will heal the creatures out of their madness, but trust me their is more to it then just waltzing up and hitting them with it. Their is much you have to do before it. Aries it is up to you to stop these creatures. You and your four guardians will destroy these creatures."
"My four guardians?" She asked still recovering from shock.
"Yes, each time you leave here you will be accompanied with a guardian. Sometimes I will decided, sometimes they will decided, and sometimes you will decide who it is. Your four guardians are Zack, Tsang, Rufus, and the fourth I can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"Because he is the first one to go with you, and he is also your first test. You must pull him out of his nightmare." Zack walked up to her putting his hand on her shoulder.
"I believe in you Aries, good luck."
Cal smiled "Best of luck kid. Your mission begins now." With that Aries was lost in a portal of colors but also blackness that lead to where her destiny awaits.
"Where your destined to be."
"Who are you?"
"That's not important."
"What's going on?"
"Don't worried everything will be fine."
"Do you ever give a straight answer."
"It all depends how you look at it."
"Guess not...... Will you at least tell me how I got here?"
"When the time comes everything will make since. Don't worry Sephiroth."
