Two truths and a Lie
"Yes, my name is Rufus, Rufus Shin-ra." Rufus said waiting for more questions like who were the people that Kat was with when she woke up.
"Where are my parents?" Rufus sighed thinking for a moment then said.
"Your parents are dead, you would have been dead too if we hadn't helped you. Kate told me about the dream you had the other night. It wasn't a dream it really happened to you, but if it hadn't happened you would be dead right now. The man you woke up with kidnapped you before you woke up here. They were going to kidnap you originally but your parents got in the way." Rufus waited for a reply from Kat, Kate even looked a little shocked at how Kat was eating up the lie so easily.
"Why would they want me?"
"Because your special, you have a power inside of you that only one other person has. They want you so you can help them destroy, me and my company that is helping this world. We want to keep you safe, if you want to fight against them now knowing what they did then we will supply you with anything you need." Rufus said setting some papers aside. Kat looked like she was going to cry for a long time tears in her eyes. She raised her head with a determined look the tears gone and said.
"I want them dead." Kat's voice was a mix of her own and Rage's voice.
"We can help you, but do you know how to access your power when you need it?" When he saw the blank look on Kats face he said.
"I thought so, Kate take her down and get her the right Materia to help her with this and teach her about Materia." Kate nodded and left with Kat. Kate took Kat down two floors and existed the elevator. The hall way was the same white color as everything else the doors were all white with numbers painted on them in black. Kate stopped at room 67 and opened the door, inside was shelves made to hold the orbs of Materia, there were people in the room some in lab coats taking Materia and placing it on the shelf then labeling it. Kate turned to the nearest scientist and said.
"I need a Protomateria, for Kat."
"Yes, right away." the scientist turned and went into a back room, Kat looked around the room in aw.
"There are so many. Where did they all come from?" Kat asked still looking around.
"Most of these we made, many people don't even know about. They are untested so we cant use them yet but the ones I will show you are well known some not so well known but you can use them." Kat looked around then spotted one that was a shimmering white color with veins of silver running through it. Kat walked over to it and looked at it for a moment then at its label.
"White Materia?"
"Yes, very rare but still untested, there has only been one sighting of White Materia on record, we have tried to locate where it is now but we haven't found it. This is the closest we have gotten to the original Materia." Kate turned to the scientist that was coming back with a Materia orb in hand, he handed it to Kate then left them.
"Here Kat the Protomateria."
"How do I use it?" Kat said looking at the Materia in Kate's hand.
"For you to be able to use this Materia you absorb it into your body. Its very simple to take into your body, not so easy to take out though." Kate handed Kat the Materia.
"So I just have to want to take it into my body for it to go in?"
"Something like that." Kat looked at the Materia then held it to her bare shoulder and willed it to go into her body. A cold heat shot through Kat as the Materia entered her body, a sense of energy flowed through Kat. The cold heat slipped away and Kat lifted her hand off her shoulder to see a light shimmer from her shoulder fade. Kat looked at Kate who had the same smile she always had around Kat on her face.
"See its as simple as that. Materia is meant to help you in battle. IT can make you faster or your foe slower it can revive a friend or assistant and it can summon animals to help you." As Kate talked Kat took in everything she said as they walked along the rows of Materia. Kate stopped and grabbed a red Materia orb and handed it to Kat.
"This one we recovered from the people that had you, not long ago it's a Bahamut ZERO."
"Thank you, I'll make sure not to lose it." Kat said, Kate gave her a smile then pulled her sleeve up to look at her watch.
"Well its already past lunch, lets go and get something to eat ok." They left the room labeled 67. They went down to the cafeteria and got their lunch and sat down to eat.
"Kat I'll be right back." Kate said standing up and walking off, Tseng had just entered the cafeteria when Kate had left.
"What are you doing here!" He yelled at Kat taking out his gun and was ready to shoot at a moments notice. Reno who was sitting at a table not far from Tseng burst out laughing, Kat gave him a cold glare.
"Tseng, she is the newest Turk!" Reno laughed Elena smacked Reno over the head with her bottle of water.
"Why didn't you tell me before!" Tseng yelled at Reno putting his gun away.
"Reno thought it would be fun to see your face when you found out." Rude said taking a bit of his sandwich. Kat glared at Reno again this time he saw it and stopped laughing but held a consistent sinker. Kat looked forwards again waiting for Kate to get back Andover herd Tseng whispering.
"So is she another one like Kate? Hojo did do experimenting on her. But how did he trick her into working for Shin-ra."
"It wasn't Hojo, Kate said that she just forgot everything before even being with Vincent or the others." Elena replied.
"Well I hope that she at least is worth having around, you know with the entire thing with the planet and all." Tseng said still in a whisper. Kat stood up the sound of her chair sliding back silenced their conversation. Kat walked over to the table where they were sitting and said.
"You do know that I herd all of that right?" Tseng turned to her and said.
"Well it shouldn't be-" His words were cut off by Kat putting his face into Reno's salad Kat held his face in the dressing then pulled his head back by his hair and said with another mix between Rage's voice and hers.
"Think that it shouldn't be a surprise to me? Think that I'm just another one of Hojo's little projects? Well! Am I just another project that came back to her maker when she woke up around people she didn't know!" Tseng went to grab his gun his hand grabbing at an empty holster. Kat let go on Tseng's hair and half turned then hissed back at him.
"Next time you feel like talking about the little runaway project, I wont be so nice." She said and walked to the door way throwing his gun off to the side as she went. Tseng glared at Kat as he whipped off the dressing from Reno's salad. Everyone at the table was silent for a long time, no one had done something like that to Tseng before. Kate walked back into the cafeteria and asked when she saw that Kat wasn't there.
"What happened?"
Seventh Heaven
"Where could she have gone?" Tifa asked, everyone from the meeting that happened the other night was still there.
"Well I where would she go?" Cid asked.
"A more correct question would be, who could she go to? We are the only people besides shin-ra that she knows."
"But she doesn't remember us, so it could be that she will be taken by Shin-ra and not even know it." Cloud said. Yuffie opened the door to the Seventh Heaven quickly and slammed it closed breathing hard.
"At the Materia shop Kat was spotted leaving with someone in a Turk's uniform."
"What?" Vincent asked.
"Damn it now she is with Shin-ra again." Cid cursed.
"We have to go after her." Tifa said.
"There was more, I saw Kat leaving the Shin-ra building looking pissed off. She was heading this way with a gun in hand."
"What is she doing?"
"She was asking where her parents were when she first woke up, it could be that Shin-ra told her we killer her parents for some reason and now she wants revenge." Vincent said.
"Then we'll meet her a full force make sure that she doesn't hurt anyone or herself and tell her the truth." Cloud said Vincent shook his head and said.
"She isn't going to listen to us, I'll go out to meet her first and we'll wear her out then she might listen." Everyone was silent for a moment then Tifa said.
"That's the best plan I have herd. Vincent you'll go first then." Vincent nodded setting Cerberus on the bar and walking out side. Vincent looked around the dark street, there was no one out.
She is here, look at the roof tops. Chaos said, Vincent looked up and saw the dark wings that belonged to Rage dart past. Vincent looked around and spotted Rage looking down at him waiting. Vincent transformed into Chaos, once he was fully transformed Rage dove at him. Chaos dodged the attack and took off into the night sky with Rage following him. Chaos dodged every attack that Rage threw at him making her even more pissed off. They were now flying over the ruins of Midgar.
"Why are you attacking me?" Chaos asked as he dodged another attack.
"You killed her parents!" Rage yelled at Chaos.
"I never killed Kat's parents, neither did Vincent. Shin-ra is feeding you lies, and your taking them willingly because you can't remember what really happened." Chaos said diving down towards the ruins and disappearing in the blackness of an old building. Rage beat her wings to stay in midair not willing to fly into a trap.
"I can remember things fine! You killed my parents!" Rage yelled at the black void which Chaos had disappeared.
"Really? You can remember everything fine? Then what happened before you woke up with Vincent next to you?" Chaos said as he flew up behind Rage with a playful slash at her back, She turned and went to slash his face. He grabbed her arm before her hand even got close to him.
"Well answer me, what happened to you before you woke up next to Vincent?"
"You killed my parents!" Rage yelled at him trying to pull her arm away not getting any give from Chaos's grip.
"You know you can't remember anything before you woke up! Don't try and hide it, You know Vincent, and me." Chaos said tightening his grip on Rage's arm.
"Why should I believe you!" Rage hissed at him.
"I can prove it." Chaos said, when Rage herd this she stopped fighting to get away from him and said in a low voice.
"How?"
"Follow me, and I'll show you." Chaos said letting go of her arm.
"Fine…" Rage said and followed him to the ground. When Chaos landed he turned back into Vincent. Rage let out a small sigh and did the same.
Careful this is probably a trap. Rage said to Kat.
I know, but if it means finding out what really happened to me then its worth risking. Kat said back to Rage.
Soon they were at the Seventh Heaven. When Vincent entered everyone in AVALANCHE just looked at him, but when Kat waked in after him everyone looked shocked.
"Kat! You remembered!" Yuffie yelled about to give Kat a hug. When Yuffie got close to Kat she grabbed her wrist and twisted her arm back into a arm lock with Yuffie whimpering.
"He said he has proof that I knew you people. That doesn't mean I remembered this life you people have been taking about." Kat said with a cold tone. Vincent sighed and walked over to Tifa and said.
"The pictures, those might help." He looked over at Kat again. Kat had just let go of Yuffie's arm and Yuffie was walking back to her seat rubbing her shoulder.
"Damn it, Shin-ra must have done something' to her. Kat never talked like that before she lost her memory." Cid said to Cloud, who just looked at Kat with the same expression that he always had in Advent Children. Cloud nodded and said.
"I agree." Tifa walked to the back and soon came back with the pictures taken from Kat's camera.
"Kat, look at these." Tifa said handing Kat the pictures. Kat sat down at one of the tables and flipped through the pictures with her cold expression. She stopped on the last picture. It was a picture with Kat, Cloud, and Vincent in it.
"He isn't in any of them." Kat said softly still starring at the last picture.
"Who isn't in any of them?" Cid asked, Kat looked up quickly with a confused look.
"I don't know, someone is just…missing." Kat said looking back at the picture. Vincent slammed a paper down on the table making Kat jump.
"Is this maybe the person that is missing?" He asked letting Kat take the tattered old paper and look at it.
It had a picture of Sephiroth on it and an article underneath it, the paper had been torn out of news paper. Kat skimmed the article for a name, the ink had somehow gotten wet and the article was unreadable.
"This…its him." Kat said looking down at the bit of news paper. Tifa pulled the paper out of Kats hands and looked at it.
"Its Sephiroth." Tifa said with a fowl tone. Everyone else's mood but Vincent and Cloud's turned into a maddened state at hearing the name Sephiroth.
"How can the kid remember Sephiroth but not us?" Cid asked pissed off. Everyone in AVALANCHE gathered into a semi-circle and started to talk. Kat glared at them, they were suppose to be helping her remember what she couldn't and they were talking about some guy. Kat Took the picture of her, Cloud, and Vincent and ran out of the bar.
"Damn it!" Cursed Cloud as he ran out after Kat, Vincent and Yuffie followed. They looked for Kat for about a half-an-hour then went back to the Seventh Heaven.
"She is already at the Shin-ra buildings by now." Cloud sighed.
"I thought that if she saw those pictures she might have remembered." Tifa sighed and looked over a Cloud who was flipping through the pictures.
"Ones missing, the one with me, Kat, and Vincent in it."
"Why would she only take the one?" Yuffie asked flopping down next to Nanaki.
"It could be that she only remembers you two. You did disappear for a long time, and when you returned Kat knew the both of you very well." He said to Cloud and Vincent.
"She knew all of us well." Tifa said.
"In Kat's world everyone there knows us, there we are idols to them." Vincent said.
"Ya I guess that could explain it." Yuffie said.
"I think that she will go looking for answers until she remembers something." Barret said.
Kat ran in the Shin-ra building going strait to Kate's room breathing hard. When she got in she saw Kate reading a book. Kat slammed the picture on the coffee table and asked half screaming.
"What is this! How can I have been in this picture!" Kate looked at the picture and set it back on the table.
"It was probably made to make you think that you and these rebels were friends."
"But how come I'm smiling in this?"
"Kat remember that they killed your parents and kidnapped you. They can make false pictures its not hard to do anymore."
"I'm sorry, it just seemed…familiar." Kat said picking up the picture and looking at it uncertain if it really happened or was made to trick her. That night Kat laid in her bed awake thinking. She waited until 2am and slid out of the top bunk landing softly on the floor. Kate was sound asleep. Kat quickly got her things and shoved them into a duffle bag. Kat looked back at the room incase she forgot anything. Once her mental check of her items was done she quietly opened the door and walked out into the hallway.
"What are you doing?" Kat turned to see Hojo standing behind her.
"Laundry. Hojo, what did you do to me when you 'saved' my life?" Kat asked her eyes narrow.
" Nothing complicated, I'm sure you have run into Chaos once or twice. I simply gave you a modified version of him to you."
"Chaos, you mean the thing that the man in the red cape can turn into?"
"Yes, Vincent without the Materia that is now in your arm he would have been under Chaos's control. He couldn't control the change, that's what made you so special. You used the added Jenova cells to keep your Chaos under control. But to call upon its power whenever you wanted you still needed the Materia." Hojo had a creepy smile on his face as if he was proud of what he had done to Kat.
"So that means you never did this to me to save my life. That I was just an experiment?"
"Yes you were an experiment, just like Vincent and Kate were. But the president didn't want you to go insane or have to have years of rehab so he promised that if you were sufficient then I would never see a lab again. You are my finest work and I am ashamed to see what the president is using you for."
"He isn't using me, because I'm not going to be here long enough to even get one of his missions done." Hojo let out a small laugh that sounded like a cough.
"So my other project is running away too. Pity I had hoped to see your other side. I'm sure I will some time."
"Tell me about Kate, what did you do to her?"
"I tried to make her like you, but I gave her to many Jenova cells and during the night she went into a state of coma. It turned out that her Jenova cells were killing her and that a balance between both Jenvoa and the stagnant Lifestream was to much for the human body to handle. By adding more Jenvoa cells she wouldn't die but she wouldn't be a successful project either. Now she is a Turk and useless."
"You must be loving this talk, having your own project ask you about what they are. You make me sick." Kat spat and walked past him. He glared at her and said.
"I know how you can regain your memories." Kat stopped walking and turned to face him.
"Your lying, you said it yourself there is only time that can help my condition."
"There is a treatment that I can give you. It takes a few weeks but you will remember everything that you forgot." Kat glared at him and said in a low hiss.
"And what? Let you take me down to those labs and come back not knowing what else happened during this treatment. I can find another way." Kat said and started to the doors again, Kat walked out of the building not listening to what Hojo was saying. Almost immediately after Kat got out of the building a siren went off leading Kat into a full run away from the Shin-ra building. The siren could be herd through Midgar many people woke up complaining about the noise. Vincent who was sitting on the roof of his house turned his attention to the main city where the noise drifted from.
