Vincent glanced down at Saffy's motionless form, her body had fallen close to the opperating table where Molly was laying. His heart pounded he should have done something but the gag his was wearing was to tight. Hojo had forced him to wear the thin piece of material as he watched. It was like being pulled back into the past he could see Molly and then Lucrecia laying on the table as the old scientist worked on them both slicing at their insides while he was made to watch silently screaming to himself.
'There may still be a chance to save your lover Valentine.' Hojo motioned moving towards Molly cheaking her paulse with his grizzled fingers. Vincent's blood had boiled at the thought of him touching her and then it had overflowed as he watched her blood roll out with the first cut, it was deep. But nothing had happened the one time Vincent had been relying on Chaos the demon inside him to rise up and strike Hojo down that side the darker side of his being had failed him.
'Chaos is gone...'
Hojo had informed as if reading the gunslinger's mind, they had made a deal the old scientist had reminded him what he had given and what Hojo would take away.
'You were the one who wanted to be a man again. I simply made you what you were before Chaos a man, Valentine.'
Vincent had sold his soul to the devil again but this time the devil had taken alot more for the bargin.
Do anything old man, anything you can do...
Vincent whispered to himself praying that Hojo would be able to save the woman he loved closing his eyes he listened to the sound of the old man pounding on her chest.
If anyone can save her if anyone can bring her back to me it is you...please...
The wait seemed to last forever that's because it was taking forever. Vincent's heart sunk his chest grew heavy as he realised that the only person that made his life worth living the only thing he loved in the world had gone.
Molly had gone she was dead and now not even Hojo a man who had cheated death, created a monster and destoyed Vincent could bring her back. The lifestream was calling her and it's call was to strong.
'No, no you're not going anywhere my dear I still need you.' Hojo breathed as he desperatly pounded on the young woman's chest.
'Hojo.' His blood suddenly ran cold at the sound of that voice glancing up his eyes, which seemed to be growing dimmer by the day widened at the sight of Rufus who stepped out of the shadows of the lab.
'Hojo what have you done?' Rufus questioned his voice full of something close to axiousness as he gazed at Molly.
'I can still save her it's not to late!'
Rufus didn't dignify the ancient professior with an answer his gaze simply shifted towards Vincent and back again his face falling at the sight of the changes Hojo had made to the gunslinger.
'He's a man Hojo, he's a mortal again and the girl I surpose that you...that you've that you tried to place the child inside of her.' Vincent's eyes flashed open at the mention of a child so that's what they'd tried to do, that was why Hojo had taken so many samples from him they'd created something.
'The child took I swear it did President I sucessfully impregnanted the girl but then, something must have something went wrong but I can bring her back.'
'You say the child lives well cut it out of her now that she no longer does, cut it out of her now all that matters is that child Hojo!' Rufus barked ignoring Hojo's previous statement pacing slowly with his hands behind his back he tried to think of a solution.
'I can't it's gone to far it's a part of her now if she dies then so does the child.'
'Do you know what you've done old man!' Rufus whailed lunching across the room grabbing the old scientist by the collar of his shirt.
'This was the future you've taken that away! I had everything in place I had Samantha she was the strong one she would have survived she would have brough that child into the world she would have led me to the promised land!' He screamed shaken the old man hard.
'That was the only part of Jenova, the only part of the ancient Aeris and now the only part of him or what he was left in the world. And now that's all gone!' Glancing downwards Rufus noticed Saffy laying on the floor.
'And to top it all I'll have to start looking for another secretary thanks to you old man!' Before Hojo could respond Rufus pulled his gun from his belt and shot the scientist, watching as the old man fell to the floor he shot him again once more in the head.
'Just to make sure.' He motioned glancing over his shoulder at Vincent.
He turned his gun on Vincent closing his eyes he waited for the shot that would finally end his pain but nothing came instead all Vincent could hear was the crackle from a walkie talkie.
'Sir Aeris and the others there here what should we do sir?'
'Carry out your orders Captain don't stop until they are all dead do you understand I want them whiped out and if you can't do it I'll find someone who can.'
