1 year after the end of the game.
Chapter 1 The Awakeing
There are a few events in this story that happened in the game, just wanted to let you know.
Deep within the confinds of Shinra Manor, up the stair case and though the doors on the left. Past the secret passageway and down the stairs. He walked down the long winding staircase, his gun in his hand in case a weak monster wanted to attack him.
Reaching the bottom of the stairs he walked over many skeletons of dead monsters and down the hallway. The door standing out of the way and over to the side of the hall beconded him. He pushed open the once locked door. Walking to the middle of the room, his cool crimson eyes gazed along the room. His gaze lingered on the coffin in the middle of the room.
The same one he selpt in for many years, until Cloud and his group of compainions found the key to this room and came down here and woken him from his slumber. He was suposed to sleep for thirty years but he joined Clouds group in order to help save the planet. But the planet wasn't the reason why he joined, he wanted to see Hojo. He walked along the dark room, looking around it.
Cloud said that it took them a while to figure out Hojo's letter. The combination to the safe was something like 36 10 59 97. After they put in the code, the door opened and they had to fight a monster created to guard the key. They also got a summon materia as well, Odin.
"Hmm...This place hasn't changed at all." He walked up next to the coffin laying on it's back. It's lib lay to the side of the room, and the hole in the coffin was large and empty.
"Lucrecia..." He said slowly as he touched the open coffin. "I didn't stop you then, I should have not let you go though with that. Even if it was what you wanted, but... I didn't. That was my sin. And this... this... this was my punishment." He raised his hands up and looked at them, turning his back on the gapeing hole of the empty coffin.
"But, I will no longer waste anymore days in there." He walked out of the room and headed towards the other room, at the end of the hallway. Stepping though the arch that made the door frame, he looked around at the first room at the end of the hallway. Over to the side, there where two tubes filled with an odd green liquid.
He walked up to them and looked at them closely. Little did he know, that serveal years ago, the tubes held Cloud and Zack. They escaped when it was feeding time and Zack carried/dragged Cloud out of Neibelheim. Catching a ride on a truck, the two where heading to Midgar to start a new life. But, the two where found on the outskirts of Midgar and Zack was shot down by MPs. They left Cloud for dead, because he acted as though he had Mako posioning.
Loseing interest in the tubes, he turned and looked down the other hall, it's walls filled with books. He didn't look at the table next to the tubes, but instead he headed down the hall, littered with books that Sephiroth was reading when they came down here the first time, after they found Vincent asleep in the coffin.
At the end of the tiny hall, there was another round room. It's walls where filled with books as well. He walked over to the shelf to the left of him and picked up a book off the ground. Gazeing at it for a few seconds he set it back down and walked over to the table lined with books. This was the room where Sephiroth discovered the terriable truths about his being.
He grew angry and hated everything. Wanting to make it all disappear, he summoned Meteor with the black materia.
At the end, it was Sephiroth who vanished, no the planet. Him and all the others fought against Sephiroth and in the end, the planet used the life stream as a weapon to protect itself. One year has passed since then. He looked around the room, scanning the books. After a few minutes, he turned around and headed back to the room with the tubes. Stepping out of the hall, his eyes paused on the table next to the tubes. Many years ago in this very room, his life was ruined. Hojo had grown angry with him and pulled a gun against him while he was still in the Turks. Vincent was angry at Hojo, for what he did to Lucrecia. He had confronted Hojo and got shot by him.
Fireing at him, the bullet hit his chest and Vincent fell to the ground. That was when Hojo decided to do experiments on his body. That was when this nightmare truely began. When he came to, he discovered the terrible truth on what Hojo had done to him. His body was changed, his arm was no longer his arm that he was born with. Looking at his hands, he freaked out and roared into thin air. Summon monstered dwelled within his body, but it did help out his friends during the battle against Sephiroth. And in the end, he had made Hojo pay for what he did to Lucreica and himself.
He looked at his hand, mutated with claws. He fisted his hands and looked back at the table. Hearing a monster's angry moan, he jumped up and flipped backwards. Pulling out his gun, he fired at the two headed monster and landed with his back to it. It moaned again and he turned and fired once more into it's chest. It went down, dead.
Spinning the gun a few times, he slid it back into it's holster. Turning back around to the long hall way, he could see the stair case at the end of the hall. He walked beside an anicent looking machine and just as he stepped next to it, sparks began to travel arcoss it and it exploded. Jumping back and out of the way, he stood up and looked at the totaled machine.
"Well, that was unexpected." He said as he headed back to the hall. Suddenly it felt as though some invisible force just slammed into his body and Vincent fell to his left knee as just as sudden a agonizeing pain spread thoughout his body. He gripped his chest and cried out in agony. His vision became blurry and he felt as though he was falling off something. The edges of his vision had black smuges and they where growing bigger and clouding over his senses.
He never felt like this before, this unbareable pain ripping though his body. He fought back against the blackness but to no avail. He fell forewards and landed with a soft thump. The pain wasn't as terrific as it once began, it was ebbing away slowly. He jerked his eyes open a few times, trying to stay awake. But the darkness won out and overclouded him.
He didn't know what caused the machine to explode but he was the one who caused it. The bullet that he shot into the monsters chest went thought the monster and hit the machine. Thus causeing it to overload and explode. The purose of this machine was intertwined with Vincent. It sealed something, something that should ever had been born by the planet.
The monsters never entered the room to bother him. He was lucky that he was in this room when he colasped. A few did stop and look at him with wonder but there sensed that there was an invisable force with him, so they didn't go near him. Many hours passed and he finally came around. Opening his eyes, he looked around the room and was surprised that the monsters did harm him while he was out.
The pain was still there, but not as badly, it felt more like when a person stumps their toe then agonizion pain like it once was. Getting to his hands and knees, he sat up and let a wave of dizzyness pass before he stood up. His vision was still a bit blurry, but it was good enough where he didn't have to worry about hitting his shins on everything. Useing the wall as suport, he walked back though the hallways.
Walking past the room with the coffins, he slowly made his way back to the stairs. His vision was improveing greatly and he had an odd feeling that he wasn't alone anymore. Not counting the monsters that stayed away from him. He made it up the stairs and started up the winding staircase. He stayed right up against the wall, he didn't want to lose his balace and misjudge where the stairs where and fall off. He was already almost up the stairs, and if he fell from up here there where one thing that would most likely happen. If the fall didn't kill him, the monsters would.
Hearing the screach of a bat, he pulled out his gun and shot the bat. It hit it and the bat fell.
"Damn bats." He muttered and he slid the gun back into it's holster. He made it to the top of the stairs and walked out of the secret door that looked like it was part of a chimney. He walked though the rooms and went down the stairs and headed towards the front door.
Reaching the front door, he pushed it open and walked out into the yard. Walking to the small little black gate, he pushed it open and walked into the streets of Neibelheim. He walked away from the gate and towards the inn. A woman walked out of the inn and noticed him. He looked sickly and like he was about to colaspe any minute now. She walked towards him.
"Mr. Valentine, are you okay?" She asked. Vincent didn't answer her. He started to breath really hard as a sudden disire turned his blood on fire. The fire spread thoughout his body rapidly. The disire to kill.
He fell to his knees and the woman, alarmed, rushed to his side and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Mr. Valentine? Let me help you to get to the inn. You look like you could use a nice long nap."
"Get...away!" He snapped and pushed her away. She yelped as she fell on her butt and glared at him.
"I was only trying--" She stopped short at seeing his pained expression. It felt like the flesh on his back was being ripped apart. Pain shot thoughout his body and it felt as though his skin was on fire. The woman crawled backwards, terror in her eyes and etched on her face.
The last thing that he could remember before all went black again in a single day was an unhuman roar and a woman's high-pitched scream.
