No I haven't disappeared off the face of the Earth, I just was swamped with things, but here I am updating!

Thanks guys and gals for your ongoing support, your reviews really make me so happy! (Hugs and throws Zack Puppy chibis to everyone)

On with reviews!

Keychain 001: Well if you say so! About Seph and Hojo...Well you'll see what happens. Hehe Hojo is such a weird name for the hamster but at least that's cute! Yes Zacky is a naughty puppy, don't count on him being nice...I knew Kunsel's line would creep people out! Thanks for reviewing as always!

Arashi: Indeed!

Thanks to: Kairis 12, chaotic pink chocobo, Final fantasy gamer, Poledrey, ChibiDaveyHavok, yuki-tenshee, Darknesswhereibelong, Aurora Bluewolf, DarkBombayAngel and Turks vs The Angels for the favs! Phew!

Onto our featured presentation! With the usual warning of OOC but not too crazy! Also this warning applies more to everyone but Seph. I don't do OOC Seph (Well try not to)

5. 100 and 1?

"After leaving the lounge I immediately set out for Hojo's lab. Upon arriving there, it was eerily slient"

"There was none of the usual 'kukukukuku'?"

"Especially that"

Angeal immediately shivered at Sephiroth's response. "I was about to continue on my way when one of the pods suddenly opened. Inside there was-"

"Woof!"

At that point Zack decided it was the best time to wake up. Of course seeing Genesis as soon as he woke up, scared the daylights out of him, as he tumbled off the sofa, with a bump. He got up, trying to calm himself after a near fatal heart attack (Well that's what he told himself) and saw that his mentor and friend had returned.

'Angeal, you're back!' Angeal immediately turned around to see Zack barking at him.

"Hey, Zack!" He picked him up "I bet you missed me, huh?"

Zack gave a look that was practically screaming 'Well duh'

Angeal turned to face Sephiroth again and set Zack on the table "Seph was just telling me what happened with Hojo."

Zack turned to look at Sephiroth 'You kick his butt, right? Tell me you did!'

Sephiroth gave a slight smile as he patted Zack's head "If you were wondering, I'm afraid I couldn't punish him. He is unfortunately, one of Shinra's finest scientists"

Zack pouted 'Darn, he didn't get what he deserved, lousy...'

"Ah, you got cut off, please continue Seph"

"Oh of course, now where was I?"

"The pod"

"Right inside there was nothing."

Angeal raised an eyebrow "Nothing?"

"Seems so, I think it malfunctioned"

"Uh-huh" Angeal sighed 'Way to create unnecessary tension there, Seph'

"So I continued on to the adjoining room. As soon I entered I didn't expect to see-"

"OH NO NOT AGAIN!" Sephiroth was cut off, again, by a large outburst.

Angeal sighed again 'Oh for the love of-'

The three turned to see Genesis in absolute panic. "I knew I shouldn't have dozed off, that damn puppy is going to be the death of me and-"

Angeal took the opportunity to stop Genesis' rant "Um, Genesis?"

Genesis froze in mid rant and turned to face his comrades and said 'damn puppy'.

"Zack's over here so don't worry" Angeal emphasised by pointing at Zack, who was simply smiling.

Genesis coughed and walked towards them "Oh you're back and so...Uh what's going on?" He asked rather casually, as if the last five seconds never occurred.

Angeal decided to answer his question "Seph's just telling us what happened with Hojo"

"And I was interrupted at a very crucial point" Sephiroth added.

"Oh, right. So," Genesis coughed again "Continue Sephiroth"

"I take it there won't be any further interruptions?"

The other three shook their heads "Good. So I didn't expect to see a room full of," He looked down at Zack who cocked his head in confusion "Zack puppies"

There was a second of silence before Genesis spoke out "You're kidding, right?"

'For once I have to agree with Genesis! You're talking crazy, Sephiroth!'

"No I'm deadly serious; I counted about 100 of them"

"What on Gaia-"

"Hojo, Angeal, it was Hojo"

"Why would he?"

"I wanted to find out myself. It wasn't hard to find him; he was crouching behind a wall in despair muttering puppies over and over again. After some slight persuasion, I was able to find out what had happened"

Zack immediately thought 'Slight persuasion? Yeah right. You probably threatened to kill him with Masamune. Not that I'm complaining'

"It turns out the good professor was actually trying to find a cure for Zack but in his haste he accidently used the results he obtained in a cloning machine."

"That's just great, so instead of fixing the problem, he made it 100 times worse." Angeal shook his head.

"What else could go wrong?" Genesis asked without thinking.

There was a large thump at the door. The four looked at each other, before Sephiroth went to investigate. As soon as he opened the door, puppies all identical to Zack ran in.

"What the!"

Just then the alarm went off "WARNING, WARNING! THERE HAS BEEN A BREAKOUT IN THE LAB! ALL SOLDIERS AND MP'S TO RETRIEVE THE ESCAPEES! THEY ARE PUPPIES! I REPEAT THEY ARE PUPPIES!"

The puppies took it as a signal to run out of the room, leaving three very annoyed SOLDIERS.

Genesis shook his head "So much for the madness ending and it's all because of-" He was about say Zack, but well, Zack was no longer on the table, where he was moment ago.

"Um Angeal where did your pup go?"

"He's on the-"Angeal turned to see an empty table. "Zack?"

Genesis punched the table "Damnit, I lost him again!"

"Again, what do you mean again?" Angeal questioned.

Genesis rubbed his head "Uh what I mean is..." He turned to Sephiroth who was simply looking at the door. "How on earth are you so calm, Sephiroth?"

Sephiroth held out a hand signalling Genesis to be quiet. "Got him"

Angeal and Genesis looked at each other with confusion.

"Got who, Seph?"

Sephiroth turned around with a smile as he showed them his PHS. The screen showing the map of Shinra system, with a dot moving. "Why Zack of course. I did after all place a tracking device on him, just in case our little friend decided to play tag"

"Genius!"

Meanwhile...

'Okay so I shouldn't have jumped into the large pile of clones, but there was so many of ME!'

Zack kept on running for dear life 'Oh someone, help me! My clones are after me! Gosh why is my head so itchy?' Zack rubbed his head while running. A mini chip fell on the floor. One of the clones smelt it and then ate it before continuing on its way.

Zack rounded a corner, just in time to see a herd of puppies running on straight the corridor. With a sigh of relief he relaxed. A door opened behind him.

"Oh a puppy, I can't believe I found one!"

'Please tell me it isn't Kunsel...'

Zack was picked up and he turned to see blue eyes...

Naughty Zacky! And there's 100 more of him, good grief! Shinra are going to have major delays with this one! Hehe well I hoped you liked it (And can forgive my delay) and REVIEW!

Next Time: Just who found Zack and will Sephiroth, Angeal and Genesis be able to catch them all? (Not a Pokémon reference btw)
