Chapter 2: Welcome to SOLDIER, now give us yourself.

In Midgar there is is one tower that stands out, that is the tower marked with the words SHINRA. Inside are maybe even the worlds most important men. Inside this large tower was a room, a conference room with a man standing, his black hair covering down on his face in braids, this man's name was Hojo. He looked to his side throwing papers onto the floor yelling at a man sitting in a seat. Hojo's labcoat buttoned up sloppily and sweat running down his face.

(H): "What the Hell is going on with these reactors, I thought we contained JENOVA!"

(Man): "Sir, SOLDIER is working on it...theres something strange going on. You don't understand!"

(H): "You DONT UNDERSTAND!"

The angry sweating Hojo ran out of the conference room knocking the door away slamming it into a wall. Hojo moved quickly through the hallway's, rushing towards an elevator flashing his clearence. He entered the elevator and stood staring out the window into Midgar, the elevator rose up quickly. Hojo walked out into a dim lighted room, it was a labratory, he made his way farther in and approached a giant machine covered with a white sheet. Hojo pulled off the sheet to reveal a large pod chamber labeled with sloppy handwriting, it said "JENOVA".

Outside of Midgar a helicopter fluttered down, Zack lodged up in his stretcher barely concious, the Helicopter flew down onto an open pad. As it landed Sephiroth lifted up the stretcher with other Shinra soldiers and hopped of the helicopter rushing towards a wall sticking up from the ground with a door on it.The SOLDIER with the spikey blonde hair opened the door and held it open for the rushing men with the stretcher. After an hour Zack's eyes slowly opened, lieing on a bed, curtains swaying in front of him, Zack opened his eyes with horrible pain all over himself.

(Z): "Uhhhh...Hangover"

A man walked in through the curtains, he looked like a docter.

(Man): "Well that's very optomistical."

(Z): "Hey, you...could you...like...get me pack of cigarettes?"

(Man): "I'm pretty sure that's one of the last things you need right now."

The doctor spoke as he walked up to Zack and pulled of wires on his head.

Zack twitched slightly as the doctor worked.

(Z): "Hey...is there anyway. I could get out of here? Cuz' I have places to be man."

(Man): "Sorry to disapoint you but you've already been called to duty, heh. Your getting out of here anyway."

Zack looked at the Doctor confused.

(Z): "What...are they nuts? Thats bull-"

Before Zack could finish speaking, a needle went into his shoulder, Zack yelled in pain trieing to push away the doctor.

(Z): "HEY! What the FUCK!""

Zack clenched his shoulders as he noticed the pain went away from all over his body.

(Man): "Sorry bud, it's mandatory for all injured SOLDIER members to get injected with this. Now get up.

The docter then walked out of the curtains leaving Zack.

(Z): "Uhhhh...since when. I need a cigarette."

Zack then got up, he took his hand off his shoulders and looked out the window, it was daytime in Midgar. Birds flying around the window. Zack then walked through the curtains, he recognized the area as the Medical quarter of SOLDIER and walked forword looking for an exit. He searched his pockets for his clearence and slided it down to the side of the door opening the Elevator. Zack walked in pressing in the numbers to the bottem floor. As he slided down he looked outside the window watching the birds fly around the scryscrapers of Midgar. He then thought to himself.

(Z): What happened back there...

A loud ring interrupted Zack's thoughts, the door to his back slided open and he walked outside. It was another pale white day in Midgar, thick clouds covering the sun. He walked down the street looking for a grocery store. Zack spotted a small newspaper stand and walked in front of it, he looked into it searching for a pack of cigarretes. A newspaper caught his eye headlining "ANOTHER REACTOR EXPLODES, THE FUTURE OF MIDGAR". Zack looked away down to a pack of cigarettes which he picked up and slided some money to the man in the stand. Zack walked a few feet away from the stand pulling out a cigarrete and lit up, he then puffed out some smoke looking up into the midgar scyscrapers. A tap on his shoulder interrupted him.

(?) "Hey, you shouldn't be smoking. It ruins the enviroment."

Zack slowly turned around about to scream.

(Z): "HEY! Im not in the mood so BU-------"

Zack then stood shocked, to his side was the most beatiful girl, she had flowers in her hands and wore a long pink dress, her brown hair curled and a smile on her face, the girl then smiled and winked at Zack as she walked away. Zack reached out for the girl

(Z): "Hey, I didn't mean it wait!"

Before Zack finished speaking a cellphone ring buzzed from his pocket, Zack sighed and tossed away his cigarrate as he picked up the phone.

(Z): "Yeah? Who is it?"

(From Cellphone): "Zack, feeling better? Good. Well guess what. Your in deep shit. You were late for your mission. Go to the central station now you bitch and don't be late. "

The man then hung up and Zack stared into it.

(Z): "Mission...?"

Zack then started walking towards Central Station still thinking about the girl, he arrived to a building, Sephiroth standing just outside waiting for Zack.

(S): "Rise and shine, Zack. We have a mission to do with our new recruit. Hop on your motercycle."

(Z): "New recruit...?"

As Zack spoke the same boy with Blonde spikey hair walked out from the bulding, he was wearing the same SOLDIER outfit.

(Boy): "Hi...my name's Cloud."
