GaPA; You own yourself
"Does anyone really own themselves, aren't we all slaves to one thing or another?"
GaPA; Woah, deep
"I honestly don't believe you actually killed one of them! What did it ever do to you, huh? There can't possibly be a reason-." Fortunately for Sephiroth heard no more of Faye's ranting as he blacked out once more, unintentionally but to his benefit.
He arose from the bed at the infirmary, surrounded by whitewash walls and nothing more. No sign of Faye or anybody Sephiroth walked down the empty corridor, throughout the Shinra building there was an awkward silence. He tried to regain control of the situation and thought about the past events, "Okay so chocobos talk to me and they are planning something against me. Something about a 'prophecy'. And now there is no one in the entire building. Where's Masamune? I blacked out ... Faye must have taken it, I wonder where she put-." His thought process was thrown off by a bone chilling scream that came from outside. Sephiroth jumped out a nearby window to save the damsel in distress. (GaPA: ha! Yeah right he wanted to watch and you know it.) He landed safely, which makes sense considering he was on the first floor.
What he saw outside was complete and utter chaos. The blackened sky split in half by a headache bright white lightening bolt, rain fell cruelly for an added effect of drama. Buildings were set ablaze and the rain did not quench the flames. Massive amounts of blood flood into the sewers an there were bodies everywhere. The corpses had numerous holes in them, too large to be bullet holes, and surprisingly shallow.
Sephiroth couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. He turned around to see a red chocobos staring at him with beady blue eyes. No it wasn't red; it was covered in blood, but not its own. It glared at him and scurried off in the other direction. Sephiroth was now convinced he was crazy his mind was racing with questions, "Where's Masamune, what's going on? Why is everyone dead?" He heard a rolling thunder, oddly enough from the ground. Sephiroth turned again and saw a long line of chocobos all splattered in blood. He stared down the line, he took notice that Masamune was gone and the number of murderous birds before him, he fled. They were right at his heels.
He came to a dead end that consisted of three tall brick walls, no doors or windows. In a desperate attempt he jumped from the eastern to the western wall repeatedly gaining a little altitude each time. He reached out for a ledge, it was wet from the rain, and his fingers could not take the lack of traction and his weight he fell. Sephiroth tried to gain altitude by flying to the ledge he reacted too late and landed on the ground with an outstretched wing and a 'cracking' noise. He gritted his teeth through the pain, closed his eyes and found a potion. "Why haven't they killed me yet?" he thought after he healed himself but before he got up. He saw one of the chocobos drop something to the floor. It was a head; it possessed blonde hair but no body. The glowing blue eyes stared a Sephiroth with no specific emotion but the mouth was gapped in horror. The general could not help but smile, and the chocobos seemed happy at his reaction.
"He's awake!" a figure hissed, Sephiroth slowly regained consciousness but made an effort not to make it look noticeable, he was back in his apartment.
"No he's not, you're paranoid."
"Yes he is I'm outta here. There's no way I'm ending up like Henry."
"Don't leave, I can't do this by myself!"
"See ya in the next life, brother." (1)
"Sephiroth I know you're sick so I've been really patient, but enough's enough will you please be quiet?" Faye asked from the next room over.
After Fay had said that so loudly there was no way Sephiroth could pretend he was still asleep. He woke up quickly and grabbed Masamune which was lying next to his bed. There were two things that were confusing but he did not let them throw him; Masamune was right where it should be, and his opponent was a chocobo. The intruder had a large burlap sack in its mouth and stared at the general with horror. Sephiroth swung Masamune, but due to his surroundings and physical state he was not so finest, the long sword was now stuck in the wall. He tried to pull it out, it wouldn't come free.
"Sephiroth will you please shut up now?" He jumped out of bed and held the chocobos by the neck, threateningly. "What's going on? What do you want?" he asked, his eyes narrow slits, the chocobo knew not to mess with him.
"We want revenge."
"Revenge? On who?"
"Humans! Why don't you get it you're too heavy!"
"Why don't you just tell them to get off."
"they don't understand our speech, their brains can't begin to comprehend the complex-."
"But I-"
"You are just as the prophecy predicted."
"Prophecy?"
The chocobo sighed and said something that sounded quite rehearsed.
"When hope is lost and the planet's need is dire You will get what you deserve through lightening and fire There will be one who heeds your cries He will help you spread the terror across the skies As general you will take him at first not willingly When the battles have all ended you will shout victory"
"Why would I want to help you?"
"You will be forgiven of your crimes against the Chocobo Empire, and hold a prominent place in the revolution and the new world." Sephiroth had no particular expression on his face except skepticism, the chocobos decided to sweeten the deal. "You will be our general while we plan for and go to war, and after we win, you shall be king of all the surviving humans."
"Sephiroth, shut up!" Faye punched through the paper thin wall. "Oops sorry about tha—what are you doing!" She was horror stricken as she looked a Sephiroth about to strangle the chocobo.
The SOLIDER let go of the bird, it squawked "At the Shinra building, many are assembled, come tomorrow," and bolted off, leaving the burlap sack on the floor.
