Chapter 4
One year had passed from the wutain war.Asner had left Shinra and Midgar,trying to get Sephiroth
with him,without success.Shinra troops had left Wutai and the world had became calm.Sephiroth
had no work to do anymore,so he went travelling.Shinra kept sending him his pay,because they didn't
want to let him go,for several reasons.
Sephiroth had arrived at the town of Gongaga.It was a big town back then,when the reactor was still
working.He went to a bar and ordered a drink.When he got it,he sat down in a table.A Shinra soldier
sat in the same table.
Soldier:Wow,it's an honor to sit in the same table with you...
Sephiroth:Relax,I'm off duty.
Soldier:Oh,cool.It's not like it's easy to talk ordinary stuff with a legend,you know.
Sephiroth:Legend...heh heh.I'm an ordinary man like anyone,I just happen to be well known.
Soldier:Hmm...you never come to think about famous people that they are in fact like anyone.You think
that their life is only luxury and glamour...
Sephiroth:You're damn right about that.
Soldier:So what are you doing here?
Sephiroth:Travelling around...things have been a bit boring at Midgar.
Soldier:Same here,nothing new.
A red light started flickering on the wall of the bar and on the soldier's electonical wristband,
too,and a sound of a siren came from the direction of the Mako Plant.
Sephiroth:What's that?!
Soldier:An evacuation signal.Something's wrong with the plant!
Sephiroth:Let's go!
Sephiroth and the soldier ran through the town to the plant.When they were at the entrance,they
noticed a group of men exiting the reactor.They moved too fast and they had masks,so they couldn't
be recognized.
Sephiroth followed the soldier inside the plant.They found something from it's core...
Sephiroth:What is it?
Soldier:A time bomb.
Sephiroth:How long until detonation?
Soldier:Not enough so I could disarm it.Run for your life!!!!
And they started to run with an unbelievable speed and reached the town very soon.People were trying
to get out of there as fast as possible but some cars had crashed at the exit,blocking it.All
ingredients of a tragedy were in that situation.The soldier led Sephiroth to the jungle and they
found a safe place right before the explosion.
A great ball of fire appeared in the horizon.The ground shook under the gigantic flames that seemed
to eat the whole town.Houses collapsed like they were paper and trees fell like an invisible axe
would have chopped them down.
After the huge roar of the explosion no one could hear anything in few seconds.Everything was dead
quiet.After their ability to hear returned,they could hear the screams of people who had gotten
stuck under collapsed buildings,people who were trapped in their cars,people who were standing next
to a dead family member or a dead friend.The whole town had been wasted in few seconds.
Sephiroth and the soldier returned to the streets of the town that was in chaos.
Soldier:Holy god...we must help them!
Silently,Sephiroth agreed,but he couldn't help to think:Who were those men who had left the plant
before the bomb went off?

Author:Since the reasons why Gongaga Reactor was wasted weren't mentioned in the game,I got a
good subject to write about.There was a period that I didn't know what to write about and I didn't
want to jump too far in the timeline,I decided to put the Gongaga accident here.I know,I'm writing
pretty short chapters,but I like doing so.Besides,I can update more often by doing that.
