Part one: Midgar
Prologue: Peaceful Night…
Green, sparking ember flowed in the air. This woman is feeling the sorrow and pain of the Gaia. She wept for the Gaia's pain and she wish for the pain of the Gaia to stop. She stood up and she prays for the Gaia's pain to be stopped. Then she opened her eyes and she turned to walk out of the empty alley. She thought she heard something at between sector one and eight. She shrugged if off and walked away from the sparking embers.
Meanwhile, the soldiers were bored about waiting for the train to come along. One of the soldiers grumbled to the other solider, saying, "How long it gonna take for that damn train to come along?!" Suddenly, hissing of a train could be heard and he gave a sigh of a relief.
The other solider that was opposite of them yelled, "Hey, the train is coming. Get ready to transport the weapons off the train." The other soldiers sighed and stood to attention for the train. Little did they know that the train was holding AVALANCHE and it was the beginning of a war between the Shinra and the AVALANCHE.
The train is arriving and the soldiers stood in line, and they waited for the train to stop. The train is slowing down until it finally stopped. Then a woman jumped out of the train which on of the soldiers saw her. So the soldier ran at the woman which she took out a little knife. Then the woman dodges the punch from the soldier and grabbed him from behind with a slit of the throat.
The other soldier saw this so he yelled with revenge and ran over to the woman but a man quickly appeared. The man grappled him from behind, and put his arm around his neck, choking him until he felt the body that once was alive, had stopped breathing. Then he dropped the body on the floor, shuddering at the another death from his hand, yelled out,
"Everything is clear!" A fat man came out of the train and he went toward the stairs, and followed behind the woman and the man. Seeing no-one there, he signals the other members of the AVALANCHE on the train before disappearing upstairs.
Then a huge man jumped off from the train onto the floor. This man was huge and deadly. He wore a brown jacket with metal garnet that holds Barret's many bullets. His chest has many scars from battles he was in. But the deadly thing about this huge man was his arm. His right arm was replaced with a huge gun that seems to be inside the arm. Barret was very proud of his gun but it also held much sadness from his past. Not thinking about the past, he yelled out to another man inside the train.
"Come on, spiky-ass bitch! We gotta get going now!" A spiky blond man jumped down from the train onto the floor. From his eyes gave the huge man the evidence that this man used to be in SOLDIER but he was curious how that he left for unknown reason.
This man's eyes were glowing green because he was infused with mako when he joined the SOLDIER. He is wearing purple SOLDIER outfit but the spiky man knew something else with this outfit. He has a huge blade on his back that gave him many memories from his childhood. His blade was held by a leather holder which was useful for holding swords in. He has a bangle with two dimmed green orbs.
The huge man looks at him and growled, "Shrina's SOLDIER? I don't trust ya so you better stay out of my way!" The spiky man gave him a cold look that gave him shivers down the back of his neck. The huge man was pissed that the spiky man can give him the shivers but he remembered that the spiky man was working for them so he was reassured a little. The huge man gave the spiky man one last look before running off to find the others.
Suddenly two soldiers appeared in front of the huge man and they were intimidated at the glare. The huge man gave one of the soldiers a punch on their face which gave him a bloody nose before running off. The uninjured soldier saw the spiky man and lifted the other soldier. The spiky man saw them coming with a bored look.
Then he took out his blade with his one hand. The soldiers stood away from him and they started to fire their guns. The spiky man jumped backward to lessen the aim at himself as one of the orbs glowed with green light. The air itself became cold as he send out a crackling ice from his hand. The icicle was weak but deadly and it was aimed at the injured soldier which went through his head.
The other soldier slowly stopped firing after the death of his friend and he whimpered like a dog. The spiky man cocked his head at him before running at him with a speed that was nearly impossible to stop. With one hand, he span around at the soldier's chest which spat out blood. With a satisfied look, he wiped his sword on the soldier's body to clean the sword before putting back to his holder. Then he went upstairs.
He saw these people that seem to be working for the huge man so he walks toward them. A man that strangles the soldier noticed him so he said, "So, you used to work for Shinra? Did you work in SOLDIER?"
The woman was startled at this startling information so she asks the man, "But isn't SOLDIER the enemy?"
The man corrected himself by saying, "Wait, he was in SOLDIER but he left and now, he is working for us now. What is your name?"
The spiky man coldly said, "My name is Cloud."
The man nodded and said, "Cool, my name is Biggs. This woman here is called Jessie and the fat man there is called Wedge."
But Cloud doesn't look like he was listening to them. Annoyed, Biggs said, "What wrong with you, jackass!" Biggs suddenly wish that he didn't say that because Cloud gave him a deadly look. Then Cloud said, "I don't give a shit about your names. I ain't here to talk and play. I'm here to do my job and get my pay. Understand? Now shut the hell up or I will make you."
Then the huge man appeared and he saw Cloud was finishing speaking to them. Then he also saw that they were too close and they could get killed easily with a bomb or something. "What're ya moving in a group for?! I thought I told you to never move in a group otherwise our group will be dead!! You idiots!!" Everyone apart from Cloud flinched from the yelling of their boss. Jessie suddenly yelled out that she was finished opening the door.
Everyone nodded and Jessie, Biggs and Wedge moved out. The huge man followed after them but he almost forgotten. He turned to Cloud and he said, "I forgot to tell you my name. The name's Barret. Now, get moving!" Barret ran off and Cloud walked behind. He looks up to see the reactor, remembering something before moving out.
Cloud walked toward the entrance while seeing Biggs and Wedge. He thinks about them and scoffed. I wonder how they managed to be in this group. Look at this, Wedge is a fat bastard, which means he won't able to run fast as us plus he is stinking of a coward. Biggs, I can see that he is able in combat but his arrogance will be his downfall.
Then a panther appeared but Cloud didn't even gave a look on it as a lighting struck from the sky above as the orb from Cloud's bangle glowed. Biggs whistled at this, impressed but Cloud kept walking. Soon enough, they were at the point to go in. He saw Barret and he was tapping his foot on the floor.
Barret saw Cloud and he growled, "You're late. I told you to move ya ass and get here. You know what? I'm sticking with you because I don't believe that ya ain't a spy."
Cloud rolled his eyes at this and he said, "I don't really care. Like I said before, I'm here for the money. If I have to stick with you, so it will be."
Barret continued to growl at him and he almost went for Cloud but the beeping noise went off. Jesse opened the door and Barret nodded at Cloud to go ahead. They went inside to see another door so Biggs opened it with his key-card. They moved toward the elevator so Barret, Jesse and Cloud went into the elevator.
They were quiet until Barret said, "Little by little the reactor will drain out all the life of this planet. And that'll be that."
Cloud said, "It isn't my problem. The only thing I care about is finishing this job before security and the roboguards come."
Barret was pissed off and said, "The planet is dying and the Shinra is the cause of it. Why do you think we are doing this?"
Then the elevator stopped. They walk out, but Barret was so pissed off, he started to shoot at some roboguards that was coming his way. He destroys them all without stopping.
After defeating them, he was panting, but he walks on leaving behind Cloud and Jesse. Cloud look on and followed Barret. Jesse was shocked at Cloud's dispassion but nevertheless she followed after them. Cloud was thinking about his past and he was curious that someone in his team was once alike Barret.
His thought was cut off by two roboguards and one Shinra soldier. Cloud sneers and he took out his blade and said to the soldier,
"Do you want to die today? Then you better run before I'll kill you like I will kill these roboguards." The soldier was afraid but he believes that Cloud was buffing. The soldier took up his gun and starts to shoot at Cloud. Cloud saw this and Cloud jumped over the soldier.
Cloud unleashes his bolting magic and aims onto the soldier face which it scramble his brains. Cloud laughs and he ran toward the roboguards who was beginning to analyze Cloud's data. They began shooting at him which Cloud dodges with ease. He threw his sword on the floor and ran over to the one that was stopping his bullets to recharge.
Cloud holds on the roboguards and he gripped the wires sticking out of the robot from inside. Cloud pulled it out and the robot suddenly jerked. It fell onto the floor, exploding. Cloud ran to the other roboguards, picking his sword up on the way then he jumped in the air which he fell onto the robot with sword heading downside. It struck in, piercing the data which auto-manual shut down.
Cloud sneers at the weakness of the enemies in the reactor and he wished for more enemies so he can destroy them all. Sadly no more enemies came so Cloud took away his sword on his back. Then he had a thought.
"I should find someone worthy to fight with. I need to fight someone that I can test myself against them." Cloud chuckled and ran after Barret and Jesse.
Five minutes later...
They were nearing the system where the reactor core was when three blue robot/person appeared. They were crouching with two spiky handguards and they tensed when they saw Cloud and Barret. Somehow they started to shoot beams out of their handguards which Barret began shooting back while Cloud and Jesse took cover. Cloud asked Barret, "How bad are they?" Barret shook his head meaning very bad so Cloud unleashed a lighting on one of them which began to shake. Then it fell down, spark coming out of it. Barret shot the other robot which went through it head.
Jesse saw the last robot shooting beams which were going close to where Barret was shooting so she yelled, "Watch out Barret!" Barret took cover while Cloud quickly ran out, crouching so the beams won't touch him. Finally seeing the aim, he threw his sword at it which struck itself on it. Lot of spark came out of it and Cloud walks over to it, looks at it before taking out his sword.
Then they walk out of the huge room into where the reactor core was. They stopped and they start to climb downward but Barret forgotten about Jesse. He then remembered so he stopped and went back up to Jesse.
"Jesse, I need you to stay here. OK?" Jesse looks at him and she nodded. She knew that sometime there were risks and she weren't ready to do these risks yet. Barret nodded back to her and Barret turns towards the ladder.
Barret and Cloud began climb downside and they walks to the bridge. They were walking on the unstable bridge when Barret spotted something shiny on the floor. Curious, he went over to the shiny orb and he discovers it was a materia. "So this is a materia? Well I'll be keeping it for safeguard. Cloud, you have to set the bomb up now!"
Cloud coldly said, "Shouldn't you do it instead of me?"
"Just do it!" Cloud sighs for the second time. Suddenly a mysterious voice yelled into Cloud's brain. "Watch out! This isn't just a reactor! Be careful!" Cloud finds himself on the floor and he blinked in confusion.
"Whatcha ya doing on the floor? Get it set up now!" Cloud shrugged and he set the bomb up. Suddenly the alarms went off and the hanger door behind them started to rumble...
