Hey all, this is DemonDoor, saying that this is my very first fic about anything! Hope you like it.
Here we go!
They thought it was finally over, the pain, the hardship, the battle. After Cloud had delivered the final blow to Sephiroth, destroying him and his plan, and preventing Jenova from taking over the world, a large part of him uttered a sigh of relief. Shinra was finished too, the President dead after an attack on Shinra HQ by Diamond Weapon, and Scarlet and Heidigger being vaporized, along with their ultimate weapon, the Proud Clod. With them destroyed, the team next turned to finally destroy all the Mako reactors on the planet. When they finished this task, the gang bid their farewells to each other, and went their separate ways, hoping for a more peaceful life. They thought they could relax. They thought it was over.
It was far from over.
Just a year after Shinra was finished, a new corporation slowly took over. Its name was I.D.E.A (International Development for Economy and Agriculture) and it was lead my a one Clef Lowgrave, who had used the funds he had from being the son of a wealthy businessman, to build an entirely different metropolis over the ashes of Midgar, which he had named NewMidgar, and organized an army vaster and more powerful then the Shinra army before them. However despite this, the plate was still there, and people below still suffered from poverty and dsease. He also harnessed a way to use Mako as a fuel and energy source without harming the earth. Or so he says. There is very little known about the cooperation, and many of the people outside NewMidgar refer to I.D.E.A. as "ShinraII", thinking that it was just more lives and cover up stories. Of course there are some who are just as gullible as before, and believe everything that I.D.E.A say. However, there is no factual evidence to suggest that they are or are indeed not legitimate.
After the earth was safe from destruction, the Weapons returned to the Northern Crater and went back into a geological hibernation, where they waited until they were next needed by the planet. Immediately after I.D.E.A. came into power, they sealed off the Northern Crater and denied all claims that they were angering the Weapons, forcing them to rise up once more and once more wreak havoc and chaos once more, just like they did before.
However, people seemed to be more relaxed and carefree, and the team finally lead a normal life.
This, however, was all about to change…
