A New Ally: Hiro's Past

Hiro walked around the trail in Nibelheim, looking around, intrested in the sights. This place is bigger the Axens...though smaller then Midgar. He walked around and then saw Sephiroth and a black haired man taking a photo with a woman. Hiro smirked, and decided to see what was up. Hiro hid behind the bushes, and saw Sephiroth and the man in a conversation. "So, are objective is to check the Mako Reactor on Mt. Nibel correct?" asked the black haired man. "Yes Zack, we have someone waiting for us up there, so we must go in a hurry." Hiro thought for a minute. Alright, they are going to Mt. Nibel to see a Mako Reactor? Strange..I have heard of them but never go to see one. The Hiro did a evil smirk. Well, Zek is in the inn asleep, and nobody here knows me besides Sephiroth...so..I can sneak up there and take a peak. As the group started to leave, Hiro quickly followed.

"Sephiroth! It took you long enough!" said Tiamatt as she stood there, arms cross, and huffing with anger. "It took us longer then we thought, since there were many adoring fans." said Zack laughing. Tiamatt hit Zack in the face, making him fall over. "It doesn''t matter! You could of ignored them!" But all of a sudden, one of the Shinra guards looked at the bush Hiro was behind. "Sephiroth, I think there is someone behind that bush." said the guard. Hiro's eyes widened. Oh damn... "Don't fire at it, I think it may-" But the Shinra guards are ready started to shoot at the bush, causing Hiro to jump out. "WHY YOU!" Hiro ran up to each of the guards and beat them down with his wooden sword, causing 3 of them to fall on the ground knocked out. But someone grabbed onto Hiro's arm, pulling him up into the air. "What are you doing here kid? You could of been killed!" said Zack looking at the boy. Hiro smirked, and then laughed in his face. "Yea, like I would die that easily! I am a friend of Sephiroth's and Tiamatt's, so if you mind, put me down!" said Hiro. Tiamatt pulled Hiro and threw him on the ground. "What in the heck are you doing here Hiro, you were suppose to be back at Axens!" Tiamatt said. "Yea, yea, Zek and I decide to take a break." said Hiro. Tiamatt sighed. "Hiro, let me take a wild guess. You wanted to see in and out of a Mako Reactor?" asked Tiamatt. Hiro did a childesh grin and nodded. "Yep!" Sephiroth looked at Hiro. "Alright, if you want..I will give you permission to join our mission, since you are probaley almost as strong as Zack!" said Sephiroth laughing. Zack just sighed.

As they went inside, Tiamatt stopped when they entered a room filled with giant tubes. Hiro turned to Tiamatt, who looked uneasy. I never seen Tiamatt this uneasy. She acts as this was one of hell's layers. "Tiamatt whats up?" asked Hiro. Tiamatt shook her head. "Oh nothing...just feel woozy." She said. Sephiroth and Zack belived her, but Hiro knew better. He shrugged it off, and kept a eye on her. Sephiroth looked at the tubes, and gasped. "Zack, take a look at this." Zack looked into the tube, and stepped back. "No way.." Tiamatt decided to take a look. Her eyes widened at the sight. "N-n-no." Hiro jumped up and looked in one, and he gasped, and jumped back. "What is this?" asked Hiro to himself. Hiro shook his head, trying to ignore the feeling he had. "Hey Sephiroth!" But Sephiroth ignored him. Hiro was going to ask what was wrong, but decided to leave. As he left, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see a Shinra guard. "Kid, take care alright?" Hiro could see that the man had spikey blonde hair. "Alright." As he walked back to Nibelheim, he entered the inn. Zek was still asleep, possibly because of how many beers he had. ("Just hic don't hic tell hic Rach hic el!") Hiro sighed, and layed in his own bed. He fell asleep instantly, and he had another werid dream.

"Hey, I am tired, so can I go to bed?" asked a woman who looked like Tiamatt to the man. The man smiled. "Yea sure..but where do I sleep?" The woman pointed towards a room. "You sleep in there, luckly, you don't share a room." The man nodded and left towards the room. As he entered, he felt uneasy, like he was being watched. As he almost layed down in the bed, a voice entered his head. "She wasn't tired." The man sighed. "Shut up and leave me! You were removed. Your blood still runs through me, but how do you speak to me?" "I will always be with you. Haunting you. Your own blood mixed with mine." The man stood up and hit the wall. "I had enough! What do you want?" "I just want to tell you somthing, the truth." The man sat down, and calmed himself. "You got five minutes." "Like I said before, the people don't care. If I was released during a battle, they would reject you. You want to know why? I can now control you longer then I use to, so if I defeat the enemy in a certain matter of time, I can try to kill them. But of course, you would try your best to get back in control. You would even release you other blood. But it won't work. You need HER or someone else you love to be in danger." The man looked down. "No..I don't belive you! I will protect them, and I won't die again!" "Bravery...patheic human emotion." The voice instantly dissapeared. The man sighed. "I will protect them, without dying.."

Hiro yawned, rubbing his eyes. "What a strange dream. That man..who is he?" Hiro shook his head. "Who ever he was, I don't care." Hiro stood up to see Zek gone. "I wonder where he is?" Hiro thought. But all of a sudden, a crash was heard in the window, causing Hiro to jump. It was a body, a woman body. Hiro ran up to it, and tried to feel a pulse. Dead? What the heck is going on? Hiro ran outside, and saw Sephiroth, angry. "Sephiroth? What the heck are you doing?" Sephiroth noticed Hiro. "Oh..nothing...I was just.." But all of a sudden, Hiro was trampled by a bunch of fangirls. "Ow..." He was picked up by Zack, who was laughing. "I have already gotten use to it. Sephiroth is quite popular." said Zack. Hiro dusted himself off, and looked at Zack. "But what does Tiamatt think about this?" asked Hiro. Zack laughed. "Well, she pretty much gets mad, but luckly she is in the manor." Zack pointed to the manor, which actually looked creepy. "Hey, am I-" Zack smiled. "Yea, anyone thats a friend of Sephiroth or Tiamatt is a friend of mine." Hiro followed Zack to the manor, and Hiro entered it himself. Zack said that he should be careful, but Hiro just shrugged it off. He walked around the manor, looking at the stuff. Where is Tiamatt? Wasn't she.. But then Hiro fell down a staircase, a werid staircase. He hit the ground with his head, and somehow he ignored it. He stood up, and looked at the deep dark hallway. "I wonder what is down here?" asked Hiro going through the blackness. As he entered the room, he saw Tiamatt and Sephiroth talking. They both noticed Hiro, and Sephiroth smiled. "Hey Hiro, how did you find this place?" he asked. Hiro just shrugged. "Fell down a staircase...hitting my head when I reached the ground." He said. Tiamatt sighed. "You really love acting like a fool don't you?" Hiro glared at his 'Older sister.' "It was a accident!" Sephiroth laughed while Tiamatt still glared at Hiro. "Well Tiamatt, keep that safe, alright?" said Sephiroth. She nodded, and held a pendant to her chest. "Thank you Sephiroth.." Sephiroth nodded and went down the hallway. Tiamatt turned to Hiro. "Hiro, lets go." Hiro nodded and followed Tiamatt. Tiamatt had somthing with her, a book she found inside of that libary.

Flashback:

Tiamatt looked through the books, awed by how many there were. Books of Science, Life, Geography, the Promise Land, Cetra. But she came upon a book she never expected to be down here. It was a book called: "History of the Demon God." Tiamatt opened the book, and the chapters were to hard to understand. So she turned to a random page, page 569. It stated:
'The Demon God Void then made a council called "The Demoic 5." It consist of Him, and his four followers..'

"Tiamatt!" said Sephiroth from behind her. She closed the book, and put it in her bag. She decided to keep this book for refernece in the future.

Hiro awoke to the sound of screaming. The last thing he remebered was hanging around with Zek, but he must of fell asleep outside of the inn. But he noticed somthing, the inn was on fire! Hiro stood up, utterly shocked. He looked around him, seeing dead bodies and blood everywhere. He ran into the plaza, only to see Zek fighting Sephiroth!

Zek swung his blade at Sephiroth's head, but Sephiroth quickly dodged. "You patheic..." Sephiroth grabbed him by the throat and threw him, but Zek recovered. "You shall die!" Zek lunged at Sephiroth, only to be stabbed in the stomach, causing him to throwup blood. Hiro's eyes widened, and he ran to help Zek. "ZEK!" Hiro cried, and held on Zek. He cried, but stopped as he glared at Sephiroth. "YOU-" Hiro took Zek's sword and started to lung at Sephiroth. Sephiroth dodged every single strike, laughing. He grabbed Hiro by the throat. "You patheic fool..thinking that you can defeat me? Sephiroth? You patheic-" But someone lached onto his arm. Hiro looked and saw Tiamatt. She was crying, and every inch of her body was covered with tears. "Sephiroth! Please! Don't kill him! Stop it please!" Sephiroth laughed and kicked Tiamatt. "You actually would side with them? They destroyed our race!" said Sephiroth with so much anger. "NO DONT KILL HIM SEPHIROTH!" Tiamatt cried. Sephiroth laughed, and kept laughing. Hiro looked down into his pocket, and saw a black orb. Hiro quickly grabbed it, and shoved it into his right arm. Sephiroth then turned to him. "Since she wants you to live, I will spare you..but..."

"It wouldn't be fair that I would leave you without a scratch." Sephiroth took his legendary blade, and took it to Hiro's face.

"Sephiroth! What are you doing?" Tiamatt asked, still crying.

Sephiroth blade then turned black, and he cut Hiro's right eye, making a scar go across it. Hiro let out a cry, and then fell on the ground, holding his scar, blood pouring out of it. Sephiroth smirked. "Hiro, that scar isn't ordinary..." and with that, he walked up to Mt. Nibel. Tiamatt didn't follow. She quickly ran over to Hiro. "Hiro! Hiro! Are you alright?" She hugged Hiro, who blacked out.

Hiro walked into the town, holding Zek over his shoulder. He had a eye bandage over his right eye, knowing that the scar would never leave. He walked past the people staring at him, and the others who were crying. Hiro sighed. Don't worry..he is not dead! He is still alive...he just loss some blood. To bad he has been out for a whole week..

Hiro busted through the door to the dojo. Xen and Larsina were sitting there, drinking tea. "Hiro?!? Oh dear god what happened to you and Zek?!?!" said Xen running up to them. Hiro dropped Zek onto a matteress. "Sephiroth attacked us when we were in Nibelheim, beating up Zek and.." Hiro shook his head. "Don't worry about me, take care of-" Hiro was cut off by a scream. He turned to see Rachel, in a kimno, crying. "W-w-what happened to Zek!?!?!" She ran over to Zek, ignoring Hiro, and hugged him. "He is not dead is he?" she asked. Hiro shook his head. "No...just knocked out." Rachel hugged Hiro, and said: "Thank you Hiro for bringing him back." Hiro smiled and hugged back. "I would never leave him behind." But they were cut off by clapping, and Hiro turned to see Tevin, laughing.

"So this patheic boy and this man were almost killed in the incident of Nibelheim? Ah..." Hiro jumped up, holding Zek's sword. (AN: This is a different sword) "Don't you dare call me patheic!" he said with anger. "Oh, but you are, you have a eye bandage, and that patheic piece of man is about to die, so Rachel, are deal will come to pass, without him being heartbroken." Hiro turned to Rachel. "What deal?!?!" Xen and Larsina also wanted to hear about it. Rachel looked at Hiro, and she put her head down. "I was going to refuse the marrige...and marry Tevin...to save the town.." Hiro eyes widened, and he looked away. "I can't belive you..." Larsina said, holding back her tears. "Why..." Hiro said. "Why what?" asked Rachel. Hiro turned around, anger within his eye, and his voice raised. "WHY WOULD SHOW YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!!!!" He yelled at Rachel, causing her to jump. "Hiro..you..don't mean that!" said Rachel, crying. "OF COURSE I MEAN IT! LIKE WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT BREAKING ZEK'S HEART!" Hiro clutched his fist. "Don't yell at my fiancee boy!" Tevin took off his shirt and wore a muscle shirt, and ran up and punched Hiro in the chest, expecting to kill him, stopping his heart. "Hiro!!" screamed Rachel. Larsina started to cry, but Xen stood there. "Bad thing to do Tevin.." Tevin laughed. "Why?" But then, Hiro looked up. "YOU BASTARD!"

Hiro stabbed Tevin in the stomach, causing him to go back. "What? How did you-" Hiro then opened both of his hands, and made a black ball. He shot it at Tevin's face, killing him. Tevin fell to the ground, dead. "Hiro?" Rachel was scared. "Rachel.." said a weak voice. Rachel turned to Zek, who was weak. "Zek?" She hugged Zek. "I heard...everything.." Her eyes widened, causing her to cry hard. "Please forgive me Zek!" Zek then almost nodded, but once again blacked out. "He forgave me! He forgave me Hiro!" She said happily. "I don't forgive you..." said Hiro calmly, as he took Zek's sword out of Tevin, walking off.

Hiro quietly watched the stars with his one eye. He wished none of this ever happend. It was his fault. Everything. Tiamatt's deppresion. Rachel's trying to save the town. Zek's attack. He shook his head, and looked towards the stars. "Dr.Dexel..what should I do?"

Wow! I made it to Chapter 20! My head isn't hurting anymore, so I will write more tomorrow!
