Hi guys. A new FF7 Fiction that I'm actually going to finish. I swear. Anyways, Blah Blah Blah, Don't own FF7 or It's Characters, Time Travel, and somewhat OOC Zack. Anyways without further ado, Chapter 1!
After Sephiroth returned, and the Deepground incident, Cloud didn't think anything else would surprise him. Turns out he was dead wrong. Sitting at the Seventh Heaven bar, rebuilt to it's former glory was Gaia's Chosen, dressed in a simply black sweater, blue jeans, and black boots. He sighed as he heard the door open "Sorry bud, bar's closed for the night." The responding voice however, knocked him completely off kilter.
"Sorry Cloudy, I don't think I can wait." Whipping his head around so fast he almost got whiplash, he stared slack-jawed as his dead friend grinned at him "Z-Zack?!"
The dead man's grin grew wider "That's me. Sorry I won't be here long. Buuuut I need like, two favors. Oh and uh, sorry. I don't have time for answers. You will get some. Later." Cloud shook off his disbelief and shock. "Alright then Zack." He couldn't deny his friend, and he trusted him completely. "What do you need?"
Shinra HQ, Many years in the past...
All three First Class Soldiers were gathered in Lazard's office. It wasn't unusual for one of them to be called for a mission. It was slightly uncommon for two of them, but occasions had come up with some particularly nasty monsters. However, it was extremely rare all three of them were called in at once. Something had to be critically wrong, and Genesis was the first to speak once they were all seated "Alright, I'm curious. What went so horribly wrong, all three of Shinra's finest had to be called?"
Lazard cleared his throat "Doctor Hojo and Doctor Hollander are both dead." That alone was enough to even make Sephiroth's eyes widen in shock. Lazard let that settle in before he continued in a grave voice "And now I want you to watch this." He turned his computer monitor towards them. There was a video on the screen. The three SOLDIERS looked intently at the screen as Lazard hit play. All they saw was someone in black clothing with a hood over their face tearing through the labs, knocking out anyone and everyone who got in the way with the strength and precision of someone who was enhanced.
Sephiroth took a breath "That's beyond a Second Class enhancement." Angeal and Genesis could only nod as they continued to watched the mystery person get to the specimens. Certain ones the cloaked figure dispatched the creatures with spells from a hidden materia bracelet. When they finally came in to contact with one of the two now deceased doctors, they cut them to shreds with no hesitation or mercy. When the video ended, the three first class sat there stunned at what they had just witnessed. Someone who moved and attacked like a first class soldier that wasn't them. Angeal was the first to regain his voice "Do we know anything about this person? Was he captured? How were no alarms triggered?" Lazard sighed as he answered "I'm not sure. According to the footage this person just appeared. And according to the Turks, the footage wasn't tampered with at all. They disappeared into the stairwell before anyone realized what had happened and went off to the stairs. We also have reason to believe he may go after the other department heads, or even you three. This is a formal warning, and a message from the president. Be careful, and if you encounter this person, you are to bring them in alive if possible. However if your only option is to do so, you are allowed to kill. Am I clear? They are a threat to Shinra and must be captured or eliminated."
Both Sephiroth and Angeal saluted while Genesis opened his book "Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess. We seek it thus, and take to the sky" Sephiroth nodded while Lazard dismissed them and simply said "Act 1"
