Sorry about the long wait, but the third chapter of Vampire Redux Season Two is now underway! A new person, Vincent Valentine, appears, saving the Pharaoh before he is killed by the infected citizens of Domino. Who could he truly be, and why did he help the Pharaoh? Read on, and find out!
Thanks to the site Wikipedia for helping me with Vincent's past.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, my OCs, and the saga. Thank you.
The man that was called Vincent stood up, brushing a bit of dirt off his crimson cloak. The Pharaoh looked up at him, his indigo eyes brimming with tears. Vincent gazed at him with his crimson eyes, gripping a triple-barrel revolver in his right hand. He brushed a lock of ebony hair away from his eyes, still gazing at the Pharaoh.
"Are you sure you're alright?" he muttered, tucking the revolver into his cloak. Atem nodded solemnly, wiping the tears away as the blood on his wound began to dry. He looked up at Vincent, who was looking out at the city, still gripping the handle of his revolver that was in his cloak.
"So, how do you know of Sephiroth?" Atem whispered, hoping that the citizens of Domino weren't in earshot. Vincent sighed heavily, taking a seat on a small brick.
"He was a part of JENOVA's experiments," he replied darkly. "As was I. My body was useless to that fool Hojo, so he used me to make me stronger. When my love, Lucrecia, revived me with a piece of the Lifestream, I transformed into this demon known as Chaos. Luckily, I didn't kill her, and she placed a Materia within me to keep Chaos under control. But I now have four different transformations to deal with, as well as the inner demons within me." He clenched his metal gauntlet, his crimson eyes narrowing. "That idiot Hojo was Sephiroth's father…" Atem nearly fell off the building, but regained his composure, clutching his heart.
"You mean he was an experiment?!" he cried out.
"I told you that, didn't I? He was an unborn child, so they worked on his cells to make him stronger. I still can't believe he would sink this low to get revenge on Cloud…" Down below them, a motorcycle engine roared, its headlight glaring down the streets. Cloud Strife was atop the vehicle, his eyes casting dark glances at the various alleyways. A pair of emerald eyes met his gaze, and the motorcycle stopped in mid-turn. A boot planted itself on the ground, a black coat fluttering in the wind. Cloud looked up, bowing his head at the man that stood before him. A black wing outstretched from the man's right shoulder blade.
"Still haven't found the Pharaoh, yet?" he muttered to Cloud.
"We have not, Master Sephiroth," the ex-SOLIDER replied, lifting his head. "He disappeared when this red thing swirled around him. It seemed familiar…" Sephiroth lifted a hand, and slapped Cloud across the face.
"Continue your search!" he ordered. "And don't you dare fail me. The Black Water Mist will soon take full effect upon each and every citizen of Domino. You won't mess this up, Cloud." Cloud lowered his head once more, kicked the engine of Fenrir to life, and sped off into the distance. Sephiroth looked up towards the sky.
"I know it was you, Vincent," he muttered. "You saved the Pharaoh from my minions. Well, I'll make sure you don't help him again…"
What will happen as the citizens continue their search for the Pharaoh? And will Vincent continue to help the Pharaoh? Find out in chapter four, Chaos Appears.
