Sorry, it took so long X.X but I am updating! Sadly, though, this might be the final chapter… sorry but I'm almost out of ideas for this…but let's just see what Vinny does this time? Will he forgive himself? Who knows? (Well, I do…that's because I'm writing it n.n) Oh and sorry if I get some things wrong…its been a while since I've ran through the game….

This one takes place when they're fighting Hojo…

ESCAPING FROM A NIGHTMARE

Chapter 2:

The war raged on, it all seemed endless. When we thought that Hojo was down for good, he'd just appear again stronger then before. He has mutated his entire body…all this just to defeat us? Was the pure satisfaction worth becoming a hideous creature born out of greed and lust for power? I'm such a hypocrite (spelling? o.o) calling this man a monster when I'm one too. I can feel it growing inside me, someday it will completely consume me…destroying my humanity.

We're all fighting a losing battle, our magic is running low and we're almost out of potions. Maybe this is the end; my death will stop my monstrous transformation. This could be the only way to repent for my past sins. Yes, I'll just stand still and make it quick. I closed my eyes and stood there…waiting. The protests of my comrades filled my ears, they wanted me to keep fighting…they wanted me to live, but I had to do this…for Lucrecia and for myself.

But is this what Lucrecia would really want you to do…?

Is this what you want to do?

Voices were ringing out inside my head, snapping from my thoughts and back into reality. Echoing throughout my mind, pounding against my skull…the voices rang on and on without any hint of ever stopping.

You want to avenge everyone and everything this man has corrupted

This twisted man doesn't deserve to life

Lucrecia, Red XIII, Cloud, and yourself…your lives all ruined by this man.

I felt my hand reach my pistol, I felt my index finger on the trigger….pulling it back and firing one last shot at Hojo.

He dropped dead.

"…Rest in Piece Hojo"

I understand now, I know what I must do to repent for my sins. I'll help them stop Sephiroth. I might be killing the son of Lucrecia…but if I save the world…I can save her, where ever she is. Maybe on day I'll see her again…..maybe one day.

--End

I'm so sorry that was short…I was utterly out of ideas so…sorry if it sucked X.X

And I know its like…microscopic…but I completely ran out of ideas…so sorry.
