Note: From here out the stories going to be…a bit…off. I am begging you not to compare it to the game. I cant remember every single flipping line in that game (just a great portion;) ), and I only managed three play through before the game died and suddenly disappeared. I am trying to find a game script somewhere online (that have all of Zack's parts, but so far I am not having any luck). So, I am sort of improvising the lines of people. So very sorry.

'One, two, three'

"Would you settle down?"

"Cant. To. Ex. Cited."

Zack was dressed in the usual deep violet SOLDIER uniform, rising up and down from a squatting position, swinging his arms as he did this. The general glared bitterly at the man, leaning heavily on the side of the truck. On the opposite side of the vehicle was a little, moaning, blond blob( looking slightly green under the hair and the uniform).

"Would you cut it out." Sephiroth hissed, green eyes on fire as he glared over at Zack. Never replying, Zack stopped and walked quickly to the back of the truck. He swatted aside some pale blue curtains.

"It's sure raining hard…"He sighed and shook his head, wishing it would stop. It has ruined Costa Del Sol for him, and apparently it was trying to spoil the trip too. He wouldn't let the buckets of tears being tossed to the Planet murder off his good mood. Not today.

Pivoting he noticed the moaning Cloud and shook his head as he bent over to clutch his stomach.

"Hey," He asked, walking over to his smaller friend. "how are you doing?"

Cloud Strife sat up a little, nodded sickly, and bent back over.

"I-I'm alright…"

Zack placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to be sympathetic.

"I wouldn't know... I've never had motion sickness." He hopped his friend would be okay, as he claimed he was.

It was no use trying to help him, Cloud would deal with it on his own. Zack didn't know how to help him anyways. A bright smile again painted itself on his face and he spun around.

"Everything okay?" He called, banging a fist on the glass window that separated the font seats of the truck from the "trunk" area that the rest of them were in. The man in blue up front scolded at him, but nodded.

"Hey, settle down." Sephiroth commanded, shaking his head. Zack turned, grinning.

"They gave me some new Materia. I can't wait to use it."

He started in on his squats again, grinning like a mad man. The evening before they had found some supplies tucked away in the ship they took to Costa Del Sol. One supply package had continued a small box labeled for Zack. Materia. He had not used to much Materia before. Ivy didn't like the stuff, and wouldn't listen to his whining about wanting it. Now he had it, and was thrilled beyond sanity.

"…Just like a kid."

Zack stopped his squats, and brought his mind back to earth. Glaring at Sephiroth he took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Gana give us a mission briefing?"

"...this isn't a typical mission"

"Good." Zack grinned and turned back to Cloud. He had not gone with Sephiroth to get the info on the mission, and knew that they were just going to Nibelheim, a little town that little Cloud had come from. Something about monsters attacking. He hoped for a ton of slaughter. That would make his day. He'd go back with Cloud and show Ivy that they could fight, and mount all the beasts heads on the walls as proof.

Sephiroth turned his silver haired head to Zack, smirking. "Why do you say that?"

"I joined SOLDIER so I could prove to my family I could make a difference. But by the time I made First class, the war was already over. My big hopes of becoming a hero ended with the war. That's why I always sign up whenever there's a big mission. Kind of a way to prove myself. Say, how do you feel, MISTER Sephiroth?"

He flashed a grin, eyes sparkling. They never got to much out of Sephiroth, and it was a shame. He liked hearing the man talk, and would rather hear more talk then see a fight. They usually ended with Zack or Cloud in pain, just the like last one.

Sephiroth could see that he was looking for a chat, and turned away from him. "...I thought you wanted a briefing? Our mission is to investigate an old Mako reactor. There have been reports of it malfunctioning, and producing brutal creatures. Then, we'll locate the problem and neutralize it."

"Brutal creatures…?"

Sephioth's head turned to look at the green boy holding his stomach.

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Where else Strife? The Mako Reactor at Nibelheim."

"Nibelheim... That's where I'm from…" Sephiroth didn't hear this last bit, but Zack did. He closed his eyes.

'I hope nothing to horrid has happened…For your sake, Cloud.'

Suddenly the truck shook, teetering on two wheeled before crashing back down on all four.

"What the hell?" Sephiroth asked, standing. Zack had slammed down into Cloud, and was muttering his apologizes to the boy.

"Sir ...s, something strange just crashed into our truck!" The man upfront yelled. He spun around in his seat, eyes wide in fear.

"That would be our Monster…"
