Chapter 2: Final Fantasy VII

Disclaimer: I own nothing, blah blah, since no one reads this anyways, I may as will insert subliminal messages. Disrespect your parents! Authority has no authority over you! Richard Simmons is NOT cool!

Sephiroth has been killed, though as you read in the prologue, we all know that is not true. Jenova was destroyed. Hojo was gone. The Weapons killed Rufus, and Heidegger and Scarlet were killed in the destruction of their own creation, Proud Clod.

Cloud, a blonde, spiky-haired youth, had become Chief of Security of Neo-Midgar, and Reeve (Cait Sith) had become president. Vincent once again became a Turk, Barret became chief of weapon development, Tifa now managed the largest bar in Midgar, Yuffie returned to restore Wutar, Cid began to make a new rocket, and Nanaki (Red XIII) returned to Cosmo Canyon. Peace came back to the Planet.

One day, Cloud got up as usual. He planned on it to be a boring day, but of course, you know it was not going to be.

He got a coffee, when the loudspeaker cracked alive. "Cloud Strife, report to the President's office ASAP." Pretending he wasn't surprised, though he was, he moved the hair out of his eyes and ran up.

He ran up the flight of stairs that ran through Neo-Midgar like a corkscrew; the elevator was currently not working. Panting, he reached the top, and stumbled through the door. "God forbid, fix that elevator..."

Reeve stared at the sweating man and nodded. "Yes, well, anyways. There is a rebel group in the mountains straight to the east our satellites have found. Break them up, dispose of them, whatever." He took a sip from a beer on his desk. "Barret and Vincent are going with you," he said as Vincent, a mysterious man in a red overcoat, entered right on cue, probably purposely. "Fix that elevator," he said. Reeve stared at them. "Where's Barret?"

Barret, a dark skin man with a gun crafted to his right arm, burst through the doors, panting. "God damn, fix that #$& elevator!"

Reeve scratched his head. "Will you shut up and go?" He took a sip of his beer. The three saluted, gave a "Sir!" and once again got on the stairs.

As they ran down the stairs, wishing for an elevator, they had a conversation. "Well, this is ironic," said Cloud, who sparked it up, "we used to be in a rebel group against Midgar and now we are fighting rebels." Barret laughed. "We conserve Mako Energy, recycle it. We don't waste it away like it was garbage like that god damn pizza." Cloud saw his point, and let out a chuckle. "Yeah, your right. How tough you think they will be?" Vincent, his hand already on his gun, shrugged. "We defeated Sephiroth and Jenova. This should be nothing..."

They reached the mountain without any problem, only a scout whom life Vincent stole. They reached a cliff overlooking the camp like an eagle, and down below was a small fort with maybe twenty to forty people, it was hard to tell from that height.

"Heh," Cloud laughed, "by the way they are organized, they are probably some wannabe AVALANCHE. How do we get in?" Barret motioned them to back off, and aimed his gun at the cliff. "We start by showing them a true avalanche." He fired, breaking off the edge of the rock, and it tumbled, knocking down more rocks as they hurled towards the camp like bandits. The small avalanche of rocks crashed into the side of the fort, damaging it, and burying a few soldiers.

"Great job, Barret," remarked Vincent, annoyed, "we lost the element of surprise."

Cloud was annoyed too, but it was too late. "Vincent, you snipe from up here. Me and Barret will break in." Vincent nodded, aimed, and fired, and started to massacre the rebels.

Cloud jumped off the edge of the cliff, landed on his feet, and took out his giant sword. He ran down, Barret further back and following, and thrust his sword threw a rebel as he passed. The rest of them retreated into the fort, and Vincent came back down to pursue them.

Though the front door was closed, the three managed to enter through a hole the avalanche has caused. Inside, there was a set of stairs in the middle going down. They dodged the weapons of the rebels, and they dropped like fleas before them. Soon, they were all dead or scattered, and they descended the stairs.

There was a large tube, filled with mako energy. A scientist was there, examining it, heard them come, and turned to face them. His eyes widened with fear, and began to panic. "No...it's them, they are he-!" A bullet of Vincent's penetrated his chest, staining blood against his white lab suit, and he fell to the ground on his back.

Cloud, Barret, and Vincent walked towards the tube. There was an object inside, and they could not figure out what it was. Cloud approached it, his mako filled eyes glowing as he saw a large, claw like arm within the mako tube. He suddenly realized what it was, and his heart started racing.

As he stumbled back, he started breathing quick, and a pain boomed and bounced all around his mind. The others did not get close enough. "Cloud! Cloud, what happened!"

He looked up grimly. "That's the arm of Jenova."

And at that moment, as if on cue, a giant beam of light his and rocked the Planet, enveloping the world.
