Prologue

  The rain poured hard. The little boy with soft brown hair stayed on the street as the rain poured down hard on him. A cold man came by him and grasped his shoulder roughly.

"They died, awhile back. With um' dead I'm not takin you under my responsibly no more. You're a big enough pain."

"Where…where will I go?"

"I dunno. I'm takin you to the orphanage tomorrow."

"Why can't I stay with you?"

"Shut up! Now that yer parents are dead there's no reason in hell I'm gonna keep ya."

"But…I'm scared."

"You wimp of a boy, I'm takin you now!"

"Please no! I'll be good, don't send me to the orphanage! PLEASE!"

 He dragged the young child away through the wet streets. The boy pleaded and cried. The gruff man pulled to a corner.

"SHUT UP! I've had enough of your whinin! Ever since you were sent to me, you became the worst burden eveh!"

"I won't be a burden…I WON'T!"

 The boy continued to sob. He was near the age of 5, now alone in the world. The horrid cruel man sent him to the orphanage as he said he would. Frightened, and alone, the boy lived solemnly at the orphanage. He was friendless. No one would see the lonesome lad hiding in the corner. A week after his arrival a sturdy man dressed in high fashion with a cold look across his face came to see him.

"Well he is scrawnier than you said Ms. Kramer."

 The orphanage keeper walked to the stranger's side.

"I know, he's new and I'm sure with a little work…"

"Thank you Ms. Kramer he'll do just fine."

"Shall I bring the paperwork sir?"

"Sure, I'll take him now ma'am."

 After a few contracts were signed, the young boy was sent away with the stranger who became cruel once out of the orphanage. The man was a military officer, scouting for young boys to take and train. The boy who was held tightly in grasp was the one of few who survived a life in the G.A.E.R.O, the Galbadian and Esther Removal Organization. A group of well train military officers who worked on overrunning the governments of Esther and Galbadia. They could have easily done it already but only people in the organization know why they haven't already.

 12 Years Later

 A tall young male teenager around the age of 18 walked alone dressed in a long trench coat and a thin brown hat, which sat upon his skull long of silky golden-brown hair that rested on his back, walked in the dark streets in the shadows of a tall building. Leaned on his shoulder laid a long rifle.

"Hands up!"

 The teen turned his head, 25 Galbadian soldiers faced their sword and shotguns to him. The male turned around slowly.

"Fellas, no need to be alarmed. Just a kind ole' stranger walkin the streets."

"Hands up!"

The brown hat was lifted, the eyes were seen.

"IT'S YOU!" Several soldiers hesitated and took a step back.

"I tried to warn ya'll," He lifted his rifle. A few yelps of pain. The shooting continued. The soldiers laid on the ground dead. The teen walked past them.

 "Next time, you'll know not to mess with Irvine Kinneas."
