Corporate prison, we stay
I'm a dull boy, work all day
So I'm strung out anyway
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away

Standing hunched over the window of time, the mad man grinned with contempt. He was in paradise! Finally, he felt like he was in the position he thought he was always meant to be in: High above everyone else, witnessing every event as it unfolded. He felt like a god. He was virtually unstoppable, he controlled the world: past present and future .He turned to his captive who was still frozen in the strange air that surrounded the void in which they resided.
"So glad you decided to hang out with me," He chuckled, "I think I have found the perfect woman. All you do is stand there looking beautiful, never saying a word. Hell, I'll have your undivided attention forever! What a gal!"
He laughed again, as the only thing the Keeper of Time could do was stare back at him with glazed eyes. He walked to where she was suspended and scrutinized her deathly still form. "Hmm, you know, I would have never expected to find someone like you here in charge of something so important as time itself. Although, it has made my job a whole lot easier. Imagine! A woman! Being responsible for all of this! No wonder I succeeded so quickly!" he laughed with humor, so amazed at his findings.
"Like I have said before, never put a woman in charge of something that requires the strength and intelligence of a man," He looked at her as if he was scolding a small child, "Ah now, don't look at me like that my dear. I have nothing but experience to back me up."
He shook his head with a moment of frustration and then walked back to the window of time. Staring intently at the live story unfolding right before his eyes, a sly grin crept across his face. "I am a genius. Can you even imagine how deep my intelligence goes? Can you even comprehend my brilliance?"
He gave a glance back at his captive who stared straight ahead with her unwavering gaze. "Of course you can't," he stated almost sympathetically, "Just look at you. Helpless, open to my mercy. If I decided to kill you right now, you would have no chance in defending yourself. But don't worry my sweet. I have big plans for you.... Big plans... "
He turned toward the window again, and talked mechanically, as if he didn't even realize he was doing so. "Tell me... have you ever witnessed the Jenova project? It is my greatest achievement.. well, before this I would have to say. I created the perfect human being...not only did he have MY genes.. but he possessed the power and intelligence of the Ancients. I could never understand why Gast got all of the credit," he scoffed with anger, "He was an ignorant half wit. Gast consumed all of his time making social bonds... what a fool! If he hadn't been so caught up in making friends, then maybe he would be alive right now!!"
Hojo snickered, his boney shoulders shaking slightly, "well.... maybe not."
His laughing subsided as he stared intently at the window, his black beady eyes glued to the screen-like device. "Just as I suspected," He stated smugly. "Weak, pathetic humans. Predictable."
"Since you cannot see what is coming to pass, would you like me to describe it to you?" He said, his voice thick and mocking. "Well, proving my genius once again, these poor idiots of AVALANCHE have followed my plan to perfection. I knew I could count on Valentine's vengefulness.. but Strife was a bit of a surprise. I would have thought Valentine would have gone and saved his poor lost love."
Hojo's voice had taken on a bitter tone, as he snarled at the recollection. "Lucretia.. what a spineless piece of humanity that woman was."
After a few minutes of hateful seething, Hojo calmed himself down and let his eyes roll towards the future of his plans. He grinned triumphantly "
Well well well.. I'd hate to banish your hope for the future oh Time Goddess, but it looks like the results will be in my favor. Not really much of a surprise, mind you. Looks as if there is only more grief and death ahead for what is left of AVALANCHE. I almost pity my frightened little pawns."
He faced The Keeper of Time once more with an evil smirk and let an amused chuckle escape his thin lips, "Yeah... ALMOST!"
