Me: Ok, I understand that I just put a Flashbak Chapter up but… I need to put this one up cause the next true chapter is half-and-half (half flash/ half reg).

Lloyd: Hey! Whats around your neck?

Me: AHHH!!!! Why does everyone ask that!!?? Does no one watch Naruto?

Lloyd: Naru… huh?

Me: Naruto! It's an anime. Its awesome! I love Kakashi (drools) but not as much as Kratos (drool). Uhhh! Its so hard to choose! They're both so hot!!!

Lloyd: Uh… ok. Its odd that you, someone my age thinks Kratos is (shudders) hot. And who is Kakashi?

Me: (stares in shock) Kakashi is only the coolest ninja ever! Sure he's obessed with Ichi Ichi Paradise but oh well, he's still hot!

Lloyd: Uhh… on with the Flashbak!

Tiamatt woke up, blurry eyes clearing slowly. She pushed her self up off the ground and screamed at the sight of her hands.

"What the hell did you do to me?" She screamed.

"Hahaha! So even as a dragon, you can still talk. Hmm… interesting. I must do further testing." Hojo's voice came from an intercom.

Tiamatt looked out the window at the man and growled, feeling something warm build up in the pit of her stomach. Opening her mouth to scream at the scientist, she instead released a river of yellow flame. She closed her mouth suddenly, shutting off the flame as she blinked in surprise. Looking at the glass of the window, she noticed that the pane of glass was beginning to warp and gave of visible steam.

"So you can also breathe fire. I wonder if you can return to a human form." Hojo said, deeply intrigued. "Well, go ahead. Return to your normal form."

Tiamatt growled but knew it would be useless resisting. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on her normal form and felt the changes, only they didn't hurt like the first transformation had. Soon she stood in a human form; the loose green clothes still in place from before the transformation.

"Interesting. The specimen seems to be able to control the transformation. I wonder that if more DNA was injected, would she be able to transform into those creatures." Hojo muttered to himself. He turned to his assistant and quickly instructed him to bring something. Within moments, the assistant returned with a tray full of syringes. "Thank you. Now please retrieve the specimen." Hojo pulled a syringe full of green liquid out and handed it to the assistant.

The young lab assistant entered Tiamatt's chamber and plunged the syringe into her arm. After a few moments, Tiamatt was unconscious and was restrained to an examining table.

Hojo then began to inject the Cetra with the contents of the syringes on the tray, watching Tiamatt twitch with each accepted DNA strand.

For several months this continued, till Tiamatt had the DNA of most of the world's creatures flowing through her veins. Tiamatt was able to freely control the transformations of those animals but the dragon transformation seemed to happen whenever she was angered. She was often sedated on order to prevent the destruction of the lab as she was still trying to control her powers. Soon however, she had most of them under control and her abilities caught the eye of President Shinra.

Sara, Zin, and Tseng came to the lab one day with an official order from Shinra. Hojo reluctantly gave up his key specimen and cursed to himself as he watched Tiamatt leave under the protection of the Turks. They led her to President Shinra's office and closely guarded the room as Shinra offered Tiamatt a deal.

"I want you to work for me through SOLDIER." Shinra proposed.

"And why would I? What's in it for me?" Tiamatt snarled, obviously not pleased with the Shinra Corporation.

"Humph, figured you'd say that. Well, Tiamatt, I am willing to ensure Hojo never gets his hands on you again as long as you work for me." Shinra grinned.

"Free from Hojo…" Tiamatt said as she thought through the deal. " Sure. Serving you can't be nearly as bad as what I've been through so far."

"Good. Zin, Sara, Tseng!" Shinra called the Turks in. "Please escort Tiamatt to the nearest training camp."

"Yes Sir!" the Turks said in unison. They led Tiamatt to a waiting chopper and soon she was at Shinra's primary SOLDIER training camp.

"Tiamatt," The Cetra turned to face Sara. "Here, President Shinra said to give you these." Tiamatt took the small bundle and unwrapped it, revealing her sword and a small pack with her clothes.

"Thanks." Tiamatt said softly as she headed to a restroom and changed into her normal clothes. "That's much better." She sighed.

"Now that we've seen you off, we must return. Farewell." Tseng said. Tiamatt watched as the three Turks left in the chopper before heading to sign in.

Basic training lasted six weeks and with her enhanced abilities, Tiamatt passed with flying colors. She improved quickly in all areas, especially in sword combat. The sword no longer felt heavy in her hands and she now was able to use it skillfully. Soon she was dispatched into a squad, however she did not know that she had been specially requested.

"So you're the newest member of my squad." A cold voice said calmly. Tiamatt whipped around in surprise only to end up in the tight embrace of a silver haired man.

"Sephiroth!" She cried as she returned the embrace.

'Tiamatt I missed you so much!" Sephiroth said happily as he kissed her lightly. Tiamatt looked slightly shocked but blushed none the less and returned the kiss.

"Ah hem!" Tiamatt and Sephiroth turned to see a young man in his late teens, looking very impatient as he watched the scene. His hair was black and spiky, a wide edge sword slung across his back. " And who might this young woman be?" the boy grinned.

"Zack! Sorry!" Sephiroth grinned sheepishly before finally introducing the woman still in his arms. "This is Tiamatt, she's an old friend of mine."

"She looks like more than a friend." Zack smirked. Sephiroth glared, causing Tiamatt to giggle.

"Umm… Seph?" Sephiroth looked down at Tiamatt, who was still in his grasp.

"Yes?"

"Can you…umm… please release me?" Tiamatt asked. Sephiroth gave a small smile as he released his hold on her.

"Sorry." Sephiroth blushed.

"Oh my… this can not be Sephiroth! I've never seen you like this!" Zack laughed.

"Whats so funny?" Tiamatt asked innocently.

"I can't believe you would just suddenly change from Mr. Oh So Cool and Serious to Mr. Lovey- dovey!" Zack continued, clutching his gut in laughter.

"Shut it Zack! That's an order!" Sephiroth snapped.

" Yes sir, Mr. Seph!" Zack taunted doing a fake salute. Tiamatt snickered at the sight and Sephiroth gaze softened slightly at the sound of her laughter.

Tiamatt was so happy to be free of Hojo and now was ecstatic to be reunited with Sephiroth, the man she loved. She thought nothing could ruin her new life until her final mission one year later…
