NOTE: they do not allow stars..but now, I can italisize! so thats what
im gona do. the regular text is his past, the itallics is the present.
(and the present is still the night before the gi nattak battle..no
worries, next chapter will be what happened during and after!)
Nanaki remembered clearly what happened after all of that. He was forty five at the time..He and Kaimana did not have cubs, unfortunatly. Instead, they would act like children. Frolicking in the Cosmo Desert, fighting monsters, and finding materia. Nanaki loved this, until one day..
Kaimana trotted beside him "where are we going, Nanaki?" She asked, with a puzzled look on her face. "Oh I don't know..we'll just have to see!" he replied, winking his one eye at her. As they ran, she nudged him playfully and ran ahead. "I'll tell ya where we're going!" She yelled behind her, running towards the grasslands.
Uh oh..The grasslands are where humans are! He pannicked as he ran to catch up to her. "Kaimana!!" He yelled as much as his tired breath could yell. He heard Kaimana growl and yelp from up ahead. Something, unsure of what, overpowered him. He felt himself gaining speed. Now, Kaimana was in the distance. He could see her lashing at 4 humans dressed in black, one dressed in white. He roared and leaped into the air, pouncing on one of the men in black. As he tore into the human's neck, he eyeballed Kaimana. As if she understood, she nodded and ran away, as fast as she could.
He no longer had help.
He tasted the warm blood as it flowed into his mouth. This is a taste he hungerd for, for so long. As soon as he had broken the neck of that human, another came with a huge branch, swinging at him. Nanaki lunged behind, kicking his back legs into a human behind him, after, he still managed to land on his feet with the grace of a cat.
"No more!" The man in white commanded. The three remaining humans dropped their weapons and stood.
Now, the human in white started pacing around Nanaki, the beast following his every move. "I have never seen a creature quite like this one." Nanaki growled at him. He did not want to speak. "I think that this will be of use to me. Reeve! Call Reno, tell him to find that Cetra!" The black long haired turk nodded and entered the helicopter,which wasnt too far away from where they were standing.
"But professor Hojo! What will you do with the Cetra?" One of the men in black wondered. "Shut up, you fool!" Hojo commanded. "Rude! get me the net!" One of the men in black nodded and went to get it. Nanaki stood up and began to growl.
After much struggle, Hojo had gotten Nanaki onto the hellicopter. As it lifted off, Kaimana ran out from behind some tall grass, whimpering Nanaki's name. Never would she see her love again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nanaki was thrown into some type of tank. "I'll find out what I'm going to do with you, later!" Hojo barked, slamming the door. For 3 years more, Nanaki would have to put up with countless experiments, humans big and small tapping on the glass, and...
3 years later, when Nanaki was 48, Hojo had thrown a beautiful young woman into his tank. Frightened, she began to cry.
Why would Hojo want a young woman? Nanaki had thought, looking at her with his good eye. "I will not hurt you." Nanaki had assured her. But, she would not speak, and she was still frightened. Nanaki decided to try again. "What might your name be, miss?" The woman looked up from her sobbing. "A...a-aerith.." She sputtered. Nanaki jumped up suddenly, frightening Aerith. "You...you're the last Cetra! Granpa told me all about you" he smiled dorkily. She giggled. "What are you?" "I am what you see." He stated. "Professor Hojo calls me Red XIII, but you may call me whatever you like." He did not want to reveal his real name.
Later..there was tapping on the glass.
Nanaki awoke, and Aerith had dissappeared. It was a black haired woman, with a white shirt and black shorts. "Hey!" She said, motioning for a blonde man to come. As they stared, Hojo had pushed a button in thr back of the room, lowering down the cage. "Ah! Miss Aerith, there you are!" Nanaki had said as a guard pushed her into the tank and pushed the button for it to go back up. "You seem happy" She snorted. "Well, you can't always be sad." he said.
Later, the blonde haired man had broken the glass and got them both out. Nanaki introduced himself, but...they were caught and got locked up.
NOTE: sorry this chappie is sloppy. i was in a hurry towards the end.
