The angel of fire...
"Come this way please..."
A young boy looked up at the words spoken and nodded solemnly, his step was heavy and had a stranger looked at him it would have been easy to guess he did not like the idea of where he was going. Still he found his way albeit reluctantly into the room where the scientist was waiting.
"Up now..."
He nodded again and climbed up onto the table which always seemed like a mountain to him. Carefully he made his way up the rungs of the bed like table and lay down on it, staring up at the ceiling, his voice was a little high pitched as he spoke, his eyes showing just a touch of the fear he was experiencing,
"can... we not do this tomorrow instead?... My head hurts so badly." The scientist frowned at the boy, causing him to cringe even as he lay,
"Do not be foolish.. that would put my records out, I could not say I was testing regularly then..."
The voice that spoke to him was calm, yet full of scorn,
"besides... any headache you gain... is of your own making, and therefore, not relevant to the tests, kindly be so good as to not allow it to interfere..."
The boy made a small noise that started from within his throat, a mixture between a whimper of misery and a sigh of resignation.
"I understand... Professor..."
All scientists, all carers were by now Professor, regardless of their usual status, he had swiftly learnt to call them so if he did not wish testing to continue for any longer than necessary. He bit down on his lip hard as the first of the needles were injected, and watched dejectedly as the green fluid slowly started to seep into the vial it was attached to. The scientist was not finished though,
"For two years we have now been doing this procedure... why do you object now all of a sudden? Is it not enough that we feed you, cloth you, and give lessons with that ridiculous sword you use, not to mention the money we have had to pay to avoid law suits after that child you cold bloodedly slaughtered."
The boy gazed at the scientist with hatred in his eyes
"That thing... deserved everything he got... he wished to fear me... so I gave him something to fear... I can make anyone afraid if I want to."
His tone filled with anger as he continued
"I can kill anything too... at least I have been shown that..."
The scientist nodded not really listening anymore,
"I see... so how is it you have not yet managed to keep your promise?..."
He laughed harshly at the boy's shocked expression.
"Of course we know about that... you think anything you do is a secret in this place?! You have no secrets... we do not allow them. Understand?"
The boy sighed gently and shrugged on the table, causing the needles to shake a little,
"Yes.. I know how it is..."
The scientist gave a bark of anger
"Do NOT move! Are you stupid or something. You nearly upset the test..."
The boy kept silent and did not move this time, although the loss of blood was starting to make him feel dizzy, still he said nothing. Once the needles were taken out, now he knew the bad part was to begin, silently the scientist took out a scalpel,
"I am going to be fired today you know? It is all your fault as well you little brat... they are saying I am not firm enough with you, I am too lenient... well if I am going tomorrow... you are going to remember why..."
He scowled at the boy and carefully tied him to the table, making sure he could not move from position, before inserting the scalpel deep into the boy's chest. The boy gave a yelp of true pain as the blade sliced deep into his skin letting the green liquid flow over him, he cried out loudly now
"No, no! Let me go... I am warning you!"
The scientist laughed joyfully,
"Little brat... I will show you who is boss!"
The boy sat up suddenly, the bonds that had tied him down breaking, his body glowing softly as he spoke, his tone now more deadly,
"Mother says you should not have said that... Mother says she is the boss and you are not going to be fired... "
He paused allowing a look of relief to cross the scientists face before adding in an even quieter tone
"Mother says... you are going to die..."
Without any further warning the boy's arm started changing, causing a look of pain to spread across his features, the cut on his chest vanished, making his skin flawless again. Masamune appeared in his left hand from nowhere... the wing his arm had become giving him the look of a fallen angel, his eyes glowing so much brighter, the angels voice was different yet the same as he spoke,
"You should feel privileged to die in such a fashion... Not many get the chance... yet..."
The angel smirked holding his hand out and engulfing not only the scientist but the very building itself in flames. The skin burnt off the scientists body all in one go, the skeleton turning into ashes, the laugh of one who was eternally young echoed in the room and around the outside as he rose higher through the ashes, only to drop down suddenly as the angel lost it's power. Sephiroth, continued to laugh as he walked through the flames, the sound of people burning and screaming as they burnt nearly music to his ears. Till he reached outside. There he suddenly looked back,
"Mother! What have I done?!"
He called out collapsing to the ground, curled up.
"why... it is nothing he had not done before, not said before... how did I do that? It was not me!"
He shivered miserably in the grass outside, staring at the building that had once been his testing block.
