[Lyrics: Smail/Weston/Goodbread]
All this suffering yet I cannot feel it
Words of consolation I bring to you
I am torn by grief and sorrow
For me there's no tomorrow
Hiding under your shroud of security
For your peace of mind
I've lived and learned with gifts bestowed on me
But I was left behind
I reach for you but you're illusion
Please excuse me for my intrusion
Once hopeful but now just living
Why must I be punished for giving
Youth memories that once had sheltered me
Kill me in the end
Born to suffer live by standard die in despair
Born to suffer again
Who are your heroes? Where are the morals?
Somewhere in limbo but surely not here
Can't you see my misery maybe tomorrow I'll be all right
Blasphemy and irony of a world on it's knees
Reality's gain is my loss, until a change
I will suffer
"Einie Menie Minie Moe, Catch a tiger by the toe, If it hollers let it go, Einie Menie Minie Moe..."
"Moe it is...."
There is a quick flash of light as bullets reign from the mouth of a gatling gun. Splinters of wood from a pile of coffins scatter everywhere. There is smoke rising from the gun. A rush of footsteps could be heard racing from the hall as five bodies pour into the room. The five figures in the room don the same apparel. They had black trench-coats, black pants, shirts and boots. Each of the men wore black masks over the top part of their faces. Their dark beady eyes peeped through from the two holes in the mask.
"Boss, is everything alright?" One of the men piqued.
The man holding the gun stood in the shadows of the room, so none of them could see where he was.
"Yes, ofcourse...." The voice said smoothly. "I was only having a bit of fun."
"Oh, that's good then.... For a minute we thought he got ta ya boss..."
The man holding the gun stepped out into the light. He was lean and fit. He had green hair that had layers in it, which caused his hair to flip a little. His dark eyelashes framed his eyes green eyes, which had a reddish tint to them. His attire consisted of a dark green body suit, with dark blue boots. The suit looked more like a second skin. Red lines coursed through the emerald suit. It looked like his skin had been turned inside out. He wore white gloves. His face was deathly pale. He had a wide smug displayed on his thin lips.
The man held the giant gun in his left hand like a toy.
"I don't think Valentine, would've had a chance against me, even if he was here....I thought you said he was Kaito."
The man dropped the empty gun on the floor. Two of the five men ran over and struggled to hoist it off the ground.
One of the trench-coat lackeys gulped and fell on his knees. "I-I'm sorry boss! He-HE was here at least the last time I checked he was!"
The man in the green suit walked over to the fallen man. There was an aura surrounding the man in the green suit, almost predator like. The lackey on the floor shook with fear as his master approached.
"And when was the last time you checked?"
The man in the green suit stopped in front of his quivering servant.
"I-It was about a-a month ago!"
The man in the green suit flicked his tongue over his pearly teeth.
"Hm... a lot can happen over a month. Don't you agree Kaito?"
The man bowing on the floor shook his head adamantly. "Y-Yes sir."
The rest of the trench-coat gang looked on with trepidation.
"I-I thought that he would never leave his coffin.. he's been in here for about a good ten years. I just didn't think-"
He was cut off by his sire.
"Well, we don't keep you around to think boy! You do what we tell you to do!"
The man in the green suit super kicked Kaito in the chin, causing him to rise up. The poor man's head fell back and before he could react to anything, his boss did a spinning back kick that sent the lackey reeling into the nearby shelves behind him. The men quickly moved away before they were caught in the line of fire. They gasped as the man Kaito fell onto his knees, then his stomach. Blood was seeping out of his mouth and ears.
The boss walked over to Kaito tsking.
"Such a waste... such a magnificent waste of my time!"
As he said that, he placed his boot on to the back of the man's neck and snapped it. Kaito had a surprise look on his face as he died. The rest of the man gasped at this monstrosity of display. There eyes were glued onto their dead comrade. The man in the green suit eyed everyone coldly. Not wanting to end up like their friend, they all fell onto their knees in front of the boss. The man in the green suit placed his hands on his hips satisfactorily.
"Let this be a lesson to you all!! If any of you care to "think" for yourselves, then this will be your reward!"
There was a choir of yes boss's as the men shook their heads in unison. After that, the men followed their boss out of the room. As the group made their way out of the Shin-Ra mansion, the boss spotted a team of children (boys mostly) playing a game of some kind. There was a little girl there. She had something shiny in her hands. Materia. The green man walked over to the little girl. She was very young, his guess about six. She had brown hair, and when she saw him approach, she shoved the materia away in the front pocket of her soiled blue dress.
She pretended to twiddle her thumbs and not see him. He kneeled down before her so that he could see her face. The little girl pretends to notice him.
"Oh, hi! I didn't see you there!!"
"Hi, what's your name?" He asked her with a dazzling smile.
"Well," the little girl fiddled around shyly. "Mama always tells me not to talk to strangers.."
The closed his green eyes and nodded. "As all good mothers should. But, if I introduce myself to you, and you to me, that would make us friends, wouldn't it?"
The little girl touched her chin with her hand. "Um, well, I guess that's a start. Ok! Deal!"
She held out her tiny hand. The man in the green suit looked at it. She's such a tiny little thing... it would be so easy to break her. He took her hand and shook it. The little girl clapped her hands.
"Well, now that we're friends, my name's Angel!" She beamed happily at him.
Her front tooth was missing. The man smiled slowly.
"Yes.. that's a lovely name."
Angel pointed at him.
"Well, now it's your turn! Tell me your name please!!" She begged.
The man laughed softly. He reached over and whispered his name in her ear. After he was done, he pulled back. Angel had her face scrunched up and she was rubbing her ear.
"That tickled mister." She giggled.
The man waved his hand.
"Listen Angel, I was wondering if you could show me what you have in here?" He pointed at her front pocket.
She looked hesitant at first, her eyes rolled up.
"Well... I guess so, I mean now that we're friends."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out the shiny materia. The man with the green eyes stared at the cure materia she held in her tiny palm.
"That's very pretty." He said and looked at her face. "Angel, can you tell me who gave that to you?" He asked out of curiosity.
The little girl thought about it for a little bit. There was something weird about this guy. She didn't understand what, he was different. She didn't know if she should tell him about the man with the red cape and the red eyes, but, well, they were friends weren't they? And friends tell each other everything!
"Well, I guess I can tell you. It was this guy.,, he came out of the mansion." Her eyes rested upon the old abandoned place. "He dropped this, and when I tried to give it back, he wouldn't take it. He gave it to me and I'm so happy that he did!"
Now this was interesting, the boss thought as he peered into the little girls face. His green eyes narrowed. "This man you speak of, is he pale, and does he have long black hair? Was he tall?"
The little girl couldn't remember. That sounded like anybody. She gasped. She did remember one thing!
"Well, I don't really remember him that well, but he had a red cape, and he had real pretty eyes.. they were red!"
The boss smiled. "He didn't tell you his name did he?"
Little Angel shook her head. "No, he called himself a monster tho- but I don't think that's true! He looked real sad."
Oh, that's Valentine alright, still the same, still moaning and complaining about atoning for his sins... The man in the green suit laughed maniacally. Angel was taken aback with his sudden outburst. It was a little scary. She didn't know why, but when he laughed like that, it frightened her. Angel swallowed. Maybe she shouldn't have told him anything about the man with the red eyes.
The man in the green suit saw something creep into the little girls eyes. Yes, I know that look well enough to know... it's fear.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.." He soothed. "You see the man with the red eyes, and I, we go back a long time.. we're friends you see. I miss him and I wanted to see him again."
The little girl was still unsure about her new friend, but well, it wasn't like he was going to hurt the man in the red cape. The green man was just trying to look for his friend right?
The man continued. "Angel, did he tell you where he was going?"
She shook her head. "But I think he went that way!" She pointed in the direction of Rocket Town.
The man with the green suit gave her a winning smile.
"Thank you Angel.. thank you very much..."
He got up from the ground and turned to his men.
"I think we need to pay the ex-members of AVALANCHE a little... surprise visit.."
The goons nodded.
"Sir yes sir!" They saluted him as he walked by.
The man in the green suit grinned evilly.
I'm coming for you Valentine.
