A new weapon awakens

I layed there dormant, nither awake nor asleep, not that I could tell in the darkness that surrounded me nor by feeling my surroundings as I was unable to move.

Who am I?, what am I? where am I? why am I here?

These are the questions I asked many times in those few moment between dreaming, or what I believed to be dreams, they always showed chaos, destruction and many other evils and then when I 'awoke' it would tell me.

"You are my weapon, you are created to destroy those that would do me harm, but your time has yet to come so rest now for when your time comes you shall protect me from destruction"

Why? I would always ask... it never answered and so I would again return to my slumber and dream those horrible dreams.

How long had I been dreaming this time I wondered as I felt a new sensation against my eyes opening them for what felt like the first time then light where once I had only seen darkness and also something else... voices I could here voices, then I saw the reason I could not move.

I was encased in the a crystal that I knew those that had found to call materia. It was so clear that I could see the humans that now stared at me curiously unsure as to what I am.

Wait, how did I know that I'm encased in materia and that those things looking at me were humans.

"No you are not ready" the voice from before said to me.

What is happening? who are they? why are they here? I asked, but then the voice seemed to get cut off as the humans began digging out my crystaline prison.

I could not make out what they said as I fell with my materia tomb to the floor, feeling the impact as it shattered around me.

I lay on the floor unmoving, unsure what I should do as the humans shouted at each other for being so clumsy.

My tail twitched... wait, I had a tail? I felt it twitch some more to confirm that I did indeed have a long lion like tail... interesting.

"I, i, its alive!" I heard one of the humans say.

I felt the dreams come flooding back into me as well as what I had been told.

They seemed to say that I was to kill these humans for the damage thay had done... but had they actualy done that or was it all just dreams.

I had to see it all for myself and that meant standing up for a start.

There was a complete silence from the humans as all 8 foot of me stood up clad in nothing but a very fine reddish fur.

I touched my chest and felt the large black and white lightning streaked gem embedded in my chest. It was warm to the touch not the cold stone it looked like it should be.

By now I could feel every set of eyes staring at me as I stood there trying as they were to figure out just what I was.

"Why is every... the hell is that!?"

My feline ears swiveled in the direction of the voice then I looked up towards the man that had come down to investigate why everyone had stoped working.

I walked over to him and looked down into his face as he stared back at me a glint of fear in his eyes almost as if he was afraid of me... curious.

"Y, yes, what do you want"

There was a slight pause as I looked about and noticed my lack of attire compared to everyone else present then I returned my gaze to the man before me.

"Clothes" I said speaking for the first time in my life yet having no trouble forming the words as I spoke them.

The man swallowed hard then replied "Erm, we'll see what we can do" he then called over another of the workers and began talking to him about getting me some clothes, but I soon lost interest.

Meanwhile I glanced about detecting a definate air of fear coming from those around me. Why did they all fear me I could not understand what I had done to cause it.

The person the man had called over nodded and almost seemed to run up the tunnel that must have led out of the chamber I found myself in then the man came back over to me.

"W, were seeing to getting you something that will erm fit, do you mind telling us just who or what you are?"

I again looked down at the odd fear in his eyes the grew even greater as I spoke.

"I am weapon, I do not have a name"

There were some slight mutterings as everyone began inching away from me the man before me taking a step or two back.

"Y, your one of th, those things attacking an killing everyone" the mans eyes grew large his fear apparent for all to see.

I continued to watch him not showing any emotion as I tilted my head to the side curiously.

"...I am unsure of what it is you speak of"

At this moment in time the worker that had left came back carrying what looked like a large robe of some sort.

"I'm sorry but this is all I could... did I miss something"

I walked over to the person holding the robe then took it from him and put it on.

"Thank you" I said as everyone just continued to watch my every movement.

I was about to turn back to the man I had been talking to when a feeling came over me.

I could sense it, destruction was neer as was something familiar to me.

I began walking up the tunnel as everyone just watched not wanting to move almost as if they did not wish to attract my attention.

The tunnel got brighter and brighter untill I stood outside the tunnel everyone staring at me as I did so.

There appeared to be a camp or something set up as well as heavy duty mining equipment, but my attention was not on any of that, instead it was on the speck off in the distance that was approaching the camp.

Soon those that had been in the chamber emerged behind me then someone who had been looking where I was with a pair of binochulars began shouting.

"Weapon!!! Weapons attacking"

All of a sudden there was chaos as everyone rushed about grabbing what they can or just running away as Ultima weapon swooped overhead then turned around and landed.

I watched as it began its attack, first blasting the tents and other temporary structures then it set about massacuring the entire camp as I just stood there and watched.

Most of those that fled survived as Ultima weapon turned to look at me its form looming over me as it spoke.

"Why did you not attack those that destroy are you not one of us" it said in words uncomprehendable to normal beings.

"I did not know that these were the ones that I was sent to destroy, they did not appear to be causing a threat"

"All these beings are a threat, have you not seen what they have done, but enough of this I must go" and with that Ultima weapon took to the air and flew off away from the now desimated campsite.

This left me wondering if the dreams had been real and my need to see it first hand with my own eyes increased.

I then began walking away from my supposed place of creation, taking my first few steps into the world I had only seen in dreams.
