ANR: ok, ok, ok! I openly say it, before anyone gets all up in my face about it! I copied a lot (I mean heavily so) from Final Fantasy VII! But, this damned idea started out as a freak dream I had, then it ate away at my brain, so, in order to stop it from doing so, I am writing it and posting it. I hope I do not get flames (which I will openly laugh at, be warned) or sued or yelled at by anyone who might find this story and know me directly, or sued, or beaten up, and did I mentioned sued?

BD: why'd you change the stuff? I thought you liked the whole 'Shinra and Sephiroth must be pounded into the ground' idea.

ANR: no, I liked the whole 'pound Rufus Shinra's bitchy face into the ground' idea. Sephy I like the whole 'hey, he looks really really good' idea.

Aken: why don't you get to the rest of the stuff for the opening? I thought you hated these long-ass things.

ANR: no, I hate reading long-ass openings, I love writing them.

Aken: --;;

BD: well, then, what's with 'no Shinra'?

ANR: I didn't have the brain power to try to think on that one enough. I might pop them in for a good chunk later, then have all of them die horrible deaths, then continue, but that's only if I feel like it.

Aken: moving on...

ANR: ok, well, how this one works is kinda complicated and kinda simple at the same time. I switched around genders in certain cases, went bias to the max in other cases, and just had a bunch of goddam fun in other places, I switched the cast around so they were like my friends, and I did my best to try and keep it true to the plot and at the same time give it my own twist, and, I demand an opportunity to pull my ass out of the fire later on! It will not stay all that weird for too long once it has hit that really weird mark, guys, if you're reading this! It gets normal!...in this story's version of normal that is...

Aken: be specific, blockhead.

ANR: shut face, worm food!

Aken: .

BD: fails miserably at trying not to burst into a fit of hysterical laughter at the little exchange in insults

Aken: shut up! Damn you!

ANR: ignoring them now, though the pair can be seen in the background, BD laughing, Aken swearing, chasing her around some of this stuff, I am probably going to be killed for if my friends find it. But, I want them to know, I didn't think of it consciously, I was unconscious when the idea came to me. So, please don't hate, hurt, or both of the above, me, ok?

ANR: well, there's the Author's Notes and Disclaimer. Now on to the cast.

Aken: here's where your life is directly put on the line.

ANR: shut the hell up. Ok, now, actually, as he stated, here's where I test my limits. Actually, guys, if you're reading this, which I actually hope you're not, is partly for you all. I messed up a lot with you all. And I feel like I wasn't there when I should have been, and I'm the most sorry that I said so many things that I never should have thought of. I'm hoping you forgive me. So, since I keep getting this feeling like I wasn't there enough, or didn't help enough, this has the core idea that I will be there and want to help you out. Think of it as a dedication, or an out-and-out, poorly written mockery. But it's sort of for you. So, were we go.

Aken: I'm going to barf...

ANR: beats him with a pool cue shut up! Ruin the damned moment, why don't chya!

Aken: fine, I will-ah! gets beat again Xx;;

ANR: there. That aught to shut him up. Now, then, let's us see to this story...

BD: don't you mean 'let us'?

ANR: nope. Let's us.

BD: shrugs ok. Your call, 'Venom'.

ANR: very funny. VenomANR's prized character in the only Guilty Gear game she's ever played, GGX2. He uses a pool cue as a weapon...odd, but neat pool cue is not a take off from him, I have that as my own thing, which I then remembered later belonged to him...basically, I beat up my younger cousin with a pool cue because he was being a little shit...and one of my friends, who is in the story, when I told her this, said that, from then on, I should draw me with a pool cue ok, now, we're moving on...

Cast

ANR: chalking her pool cue, leaning against a pool table ok, that all was fun, but, let's get down to the marrow here... finishes chalking, turns around to aim at a ball here's the cast for my story/dream-gone-overboard...

CLACK!

ANR: Nine ball, corner pocket. does a Jessie James thing with her pool cue

BD: --;; oh, that's not copyrighted or anything...

ANR: hey, I don't see Venom anywhere complaining.

Aken: just incase, I hired a bodyguard.

ANR: I'm failing to resist the urge to inform you of the fact that Venom is an assassin...

Aken: ok, now I'm calling a coroner...

BD: --;;

ANR: oo;;

...Now Cast:

ANR: here we are, lezzee...

Aken: she uses a lotta weird words...

BD: no, she just writes them as how they sound when she says them, that's all.

Aken: oh.

ANR: cease your barky noise making! Here's the cast list for real this time!

Aken/BD: --;

Cast:

Real People

G. Boman: one of my best, and most cherished, friends Genevieve, at the time of my transformation, is having problems still with her life, and is trying to find some kind of comfort in a girl name Nikki, not knowing about a little mystery that Nikki has hidden from everyone, and not knowing that Nikki is using her as a crutch for her own pride.

E.Miller: one of my best, and most cherished, friends Lizz has some small problems in her life too, but, one of the growing ones is the problem of Nikki and Genevieve. She's one of few people in the world that can seriously say she believes in something and stand tall through ridicule with out a second guess on her beliefs.

A. Whitham: one of my best, and most cherished, friends. Anna is a rarity among people, she's one-hundred percent pure. Gentle, kind, humorous when she's loosened up a bit, and at the same time, strong and determined. She and Lizz share the instinct of "stand up for what you believe in, don't let people break it". side note, she doesn't like Nikki much either

N. Bober: Noah's pretty well one of my only guy friends, therefore he's the one that I know best and want to protect the best..Noah's just damned neat. He's an artist with wicked talent, and a wild imagination. Noah's an enigma all in himself as well, you can't figure that kid out if you try as hard as you can. He's not fond of Nikki either, which adds to the list of 'everyone in our group hates Nikki, aside from Genevieve' members.

J. Fiore: my cousin, Jessi, just right off the bat, isn't too fond of Nikki herself, though all she's heard from me are bits and pieces over the last few years...before and after I started hating that bitch... Jessi's one of my most cherished friends in a way that not even my other friends can match, she and I have been friends ever since I can remember, though she knows more about it than me. I've always been Jessi's 'shadow' of sorts. Always following her whenever I'm around her. She's one of two people that are closest to me out of everyone I know. she also has her own beliefs, attitude, which you don't mess with, trust me, and personality, along with what she wants to do when she's out of collage...but I'm regressing back to some of her older hobbies for this story.

E. Van Opens: Lisa, my best friend since the day I met her, Lisa is the second person of the pair I mentioned in Jessi's bio. The three of use call ourselves the 'Three Musketeers' and did as much as we could with each other. Lisa's got an attitude and personality where she puts her all into whatever she feels and does. She's sporadic and slightly chaotic in nature at times and is one of the most loyal people you'll ever meet. as a side note, I don't think she'd like Nikki very much/I don't think there would be enough tiny bits and pieces left of Nikki after this girl is through with her...Lisa's scary when angered...

Story Characters

Katie Fiore/Azuril Noir Raine: waking up to find myself a female cop-off of Vincent Valentine makes for somewhat of a shock, I run away before my parents see me, decide it best to drop out of existence, go to say my last good-byes to the people I love the most, then try to find the little 'Dr. Hojo' weasel that pulled this stunt and get myself into trouble, ending out stuck in a box. That's where the stuff I can't tell you begins later on, I change my name, leaving a girl that died decades before buried in her grave

Damien Cain: the 'Cloud' of our story. the person that most resembles Genevieve Damien's best friends were killed right in front of his eyes by a woman he thought loved him, she also then proceeded to blow away his entire hometown, now, hearing that that same woman is moving around the remains of the world, he is ready to kill her, no matter the circumstances or consequences along the way, he meets up with all of the rest of the cast, some of them also hunting for the same woman as him Damien, since I'm lazy, uses a long katana as a weapon

(I'm running out of ideas. I went through and did everyone else, but, I can't figure her out!) Miko Hoshii: the name is a nice combo I think. Since I finally figured out a goddam name, this'll do, dammit! The first name, 'Miko' is a priestess, or shrine maiden. The last name 'Hoshii' means star. I think it's a neat combo. You don't like it, bite me. Miko is on her own little mission to bump off the bad guy. One of her best friends was killed right in front of her and now she's out for revenge.she grew up with Damien, and shared a hometown with him, meaning her home was wiped out along with his her weapons her wicked punches and kicks

Annakhin Stesia (ah-nah-khyn) (long 'I' sound, like in the word 'hi'.) (stay-see-ah) (pronunciations done incorrectly, but I think they get the point across, right?): the name is, I think, kind of a pun. But, you'd have to know Anna to get it. I can't explain it, you just need to hear it to get it. the 'Aeris' of our story Annakhin meets up with Damien by chance. She bears no grudges, but wants to help anyway. She tags along with Damien as he keeps on his course though Aeris uses a weapon, Annakhin doesn't, she uses healing and cure magic, along with light and holy magic, and Zykan, her spell bound guardian.

Zykan: the Caith Sith/Yuffie, I guess, I dunno. He's the group prankster and mystery character Zykan meets up with the group at the same time as Annakhin, he's bound do her by a seal that he was once trapped in, a bracelet that Annakhin wears. He's the incarnation of all of time's evil and darkness, he uses black magic. His power is limitless, but the extra charms and seals placed on him over his time being bound to people or staying sealed away pull him down more than Annakhin's paranoia and extreme limitations to his power. He can't do anything without Annakhin's permission, if he disobeys his spell bond master, the seal affects him accordingly with however big the slip up is. though he retains a human form, Zykan's skills and tendencies, along with several unintentional slip-ups, prove that appearances are definitely not always what they seem. Zykan's weapon is a scythe

Bobby Mercer: the 'Cid' of the story she's good with mechanics, munitions, and piloting. And loves a good thrill and challenge, in this case, Damien's quest fits the bill. Bobby's fondness of 'oldies' music, which they managed to keep some of and salvage from around the year I was screwed over and is the victim of my brain going into auto-pilot, stuck with me following her everywhere though Cid's weapon is a lance, Bobby's weapon, because I'm lazy, is a boomerang that's about as tall as she is, and alchemy

Skayr (said like the word 'scare') Dolton (some proof that I watch too much Fullmetal Alchemist): Skayr is a mix between the 'Nanaki'('Red XIII') and the 'Barret' of the story. She has more of Nanaki's attitude and scars, but I needed someone to put in Barret's place, so I made her the muscle of the team. Skayr has a grudge against the woman that's assuming the 'Sephiroth'/'Hojo' role of the story similar to Damien's. her mother was a victim of the 'Sephiroth'/'Hojo' of the story, soon after, she herself became an escaped victim of the baddy and she's hell-bent on revenge. This being the only reason that she joined the group. Skayr's weapon is enhanced speed and several science endowed skills (somewhat picture Sesshoumaru's skills, any Inu Yasha people)

FF: VII Characters

Vincent Valentine: he's a damned difficult little fucker to drag out of the mansion with ya, the damned little Manic-Depressive-Undead-Freak... Vincent was experimented on and put in a coffin in a basement, stuck in stasis for 30 years until Cloud and company found him and finally managed to get the stubborn little bastard's ass out of the damn box so he would join their party. He's got a sad, cryptic and somewhat stoic outside, and a good heart inside. His weapon is a gun, my fave's Peace Maker. his reason for being so sad, stubborn, and experimented on is because of a woman he loved and ended up losing too much in pursuit of her affections...poor thing, you really gotta feel sorry for him, don't ya?

Cloud Strife: the main character of FFVII Cloud's idol and hero killed his entire hometown and then vanished, Cloud's quest for revenge is the plot line of the game Cloud's weapon is a sword that's just about as damned tall as he is, how he manages to get around with that thing, I may never know. The trademark sword for him is the Buster Sword.

Tifa Lockheart: a friend of Cloud's from childhood, Tifa has the same grudge as Cloud, only, no idolizing the killer. She has a kick-ass attitude and can hold her own, she's the kind of person to head for her goal and not stop or look back Tifa's weapon is her fists...and a couple good kicks. I thought this fit Lizz's attitude perfectly. ;

Aeris Gainsborough: a girl Cloud meets on accident in Midgar at the beginning of the game, she wants to go with Cloud and he is pretty well forced to say yes, since she won't let him alone on it, plus she hires him as a bodyguard at one point, so, it makes some sense that a girl that specializes in healing and cures would hang around him, now, wouldn't it. Aeris also has much more to her than what everyone thinks, she held powers even the main badguy of the story was afraid of. Aeris' weapon is a staff

Cait Sith: a cute kitty thing that rides on something called a Moogle (your guess is as good as mine on that one, people...) And is a fortune teller from the FFVII version of Vagas. He's spy for the bad guys originally, but in the end, is purely good. No grudge ties here, just the fact that he works for the bad guys and some of his own determination keep him in the group Cait Sith's weapon is a megaphone

Yuffie Kisaragi: a ninja with a nasty pick-pocketing habit, and she's just an all around pain in the ass that manages to get Vincent pissed right off the bat. Good goin', girl. Dead man walking! Yuffie's weapon is a big-ass throwing star lookin' thing...look it up, dammit, I don't know what it's called!

Cid Highwind: Cid's a, sort-of, ex-pilot, he still flies a plane so he's still a pilot, right? With a grudge against the corporation that no one likes among the people in Cloud's group, he joins up with them. He smokes a pack a minute, least, I think so, and has a mouth almost as bad as mine, which I'm keeping in check rather nicely. Cid's weapon is a lance.

Red XIII: a captive in Dr. Hojo's lab in the Shinra Headquarters or what ever it's called...he was rescued by Cloud when they went to find Aeris after she'd gotten herself caught, I can't quite explain the rest of him Red's weapon is himself

Other

(Badguy)Angela Seraf: this character is an actual original that I didn't model after someone. She's the one everyone's hunting, but she's more like Dr. Hojo. She's the cause of my altercations as well, which puzzles me because of time intervals. You know, the whole 'you're still living!' kinda thing. her weapon is all of the things she creates.

(Any other characters will be explained as/if they pop up)

(Yes, I'm playing a role in the field of 'bitchiness' and putting Nikki in, sort of. it's her, but it's someone that's been acting the part for quite some time.)

(All formal disclaimers apply. I don't own FF7, I don't own any of the songs, or series that are referenced or mimicked, or any of the characters that are referenced or mimicked. I did make up Damien, Zykan, Cole, Angela, Clare, Azuril, Bobby, Skayr, Annakhin and Miko, among others, and I don't want other people to use them. I plan on making no money off of this, too much work.)
