It was a dark and gloomy evening in Midgar, many had gone back to the slums to keep from running into Shinra guards who were doing their rounds. The slums were always dark, but this evening the pollution by the under plate that was known as sector zero or as Shinra had made the small slums have a murky look. A young boy with short golden almost orange like hair sat and watched them, they seemed to be hunting for someone, looking around the slums, no doubt for a thief or someone who planned an attack on Shinra. The boy yawned and laid down on the top of the climbing frame he was on top of so he was out of sight watching as the guards searched another slum. The boy watched with interest as they left and moved onto the next one. Suddenly another man caught the young boys eyes, he seemed like some sort of professor, he wore a lab coat and seemed to have the start of a moustache growing. The boy frowned and wondered if it was someone or something they were searching for now, yawning slightly he heard someone coming up behind him, that's when a flashlight was aimed up behind him. The guard aimed his weapon but it was too late, the boy had moved, the guard looked around to see where the kid had gone but he was nowhere to be been seen. The young boy smirked from his new hiding place, which was actually behind the Shinra guard, as he went to move again, he checked but left and right, as he went to turn to his left to run, he was eye levelled with a suit, looking up he saw a man with dark brown hair, a scar on his left cheek, his eye brows were raised as he looked at the young boy.

"What's your name boy?" The man asked, as the guard had noticed who was standing there and had come to attention next to the scarred man. The boy glared up at the suited man, before crossing his arms, acting as if he didn't care what the man wanted.

"Legend." As the boy smirked the guard gasped, but the man in the suit, nodded his head before putting a hand out to the guard who was ready to radio in something, but the boy didn't know what.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you 'Legend', I'm Veld. You want to join Shinra, am I correct?" The boy who'd just announced his name to be Legend, looked the man up and down as Veld reached into his pocket and pulled out a photocopy of the boys application form for SOLDIER. The boy with golden hair, took the photocopy of his application form and then nodded. "If that's the case why do you hide from Shinra guards?"

"What's it to you?" The boy said as he handed back his application form as he refolded his arms. "Yeah that's my application form, does that mean I'm in?" The elder man smiled and nodded his head to the guard to radio in that they'd found the boy.

"Indeed it does."

Cissnei sat on the field in Junon, she'd only been here a few hours and she wondered what the next plan was for her, she was told she had to wait outside the office until her roommate arrived then together they'd have a run over of what was going to happen. The girl deep sighed as she brought her legs up to her chest and hugged them tightly. She didn't know how to feel about being here, although she had no friends back at Midgar other then the officers, but she was still worried. She was going to have a roommate, she was going to have to share with no doubt a bitchy girl like they all were back at Midgar, and the fear of being bullied actually made Cissnei feel sick, she never wanted this life, but she had to play with the cards she was handed and that's was what she did. Suddenly a loud noise was heard and Cissnei moved her legs back to the ground, her hands behind her as she looked around to see where it was coming from, it sounded like it came from inside a hanger, but she couldn't be too sure, where she was, was much bigger than the place in Midgar. Junon was the Shinra's major military base, and the only port on the eastern continent. And that's where the young girl was. The sound was heard again, this time it growled longer and Cissnei was quickly on her feet, just in time to see a large airship, build much like a war bomber take off. A smile appeared on the girls face as she watched it take off and gained true altitude.

"Wow!" Cissnei spun around to see a boy standing behind her, about a meter and a half away watching the airship, Cissnei looked at the boy, he was wearing the same as her, his backpack over his left shoulder, as his hands were shielding the sun light so he could watch the airship till it was out of sight. The boy moved his hands down and looked at Cissnei who was still looking at him. "Like what you see?" The golden haired boy asked as he smirked causing the chestnut haired girl to blush slightly and look away. "Hey I was kidding, I'm Legend, I was told to come wait outside with you till the others arrive." The blush faded slightly as the boy put his backpack down on the floor and looked at the girl. "So you got a name?"

"Cissnei.. my names Cissnei." As the boy nodded he heard the noise again, the two turned back to look at the hanger, another airship was taking off the same way the last one had, the two stood and watched it, it amazed the both of them, the only thing that either of them got to see from their own sides of Midgar was the helicopter that President Shinra took everywhere. The two watched as it climbed to altitude like the others had and then disappeared out of sight.

"I never thought I'd see this when I signed up." Cissnei suddenly noticed that the boy known as Legend had moved beside her, and was watching what she had been. She thought for a few moments that the boy was a little too loud but the difference between them was that he'd signed up, she was picked from the street. The young girl smiled a little to him and then turned her attention back to where the hangers were, wondering how many airships they had, she never knew it would be something she would be interested in, but it was, they had caught her attention and she wanted to see if they had anymore ready for takeoff.

"Oh good, you two have met." Came a voice from behind the two children, the man wore a SOLDIER outfit had appeared from nowhere but he now had both of their attention. "I'm Captain Walker, welcome to Shinra's main military base, I'll be over looking your training, so if you like to gather your things and follow me. I'll take you two your room."

Doing as they were told the two picked up their bags and started to follow the man, whom as he walked into the base, people stopped and saluted him, as they did he dismissed them and spoke to the two who were following close behind. "Listen carefully as I will not repeat myself, as of now you are part of Shinra Military, we are not like SOLDIER we do not pump your body with Mako, we train your bodies to the peak condition, if you wish to join SOLDIER after that is your choice, if your grades slip or you fall behind we have no use for you, we will not wait for you. Understand?"

"Yes Sir." Both said as they followed him past rooms and doors, and down a corridor and then up a flight of stairs, the whole time the man spoke about the history of the base. The two listen as they got to the third flight of stairs and he opened a door leading down a corridor, as they approached the end he turned and faced the two and stopped walking, reaching into his pocket handing them a card key each.

"This is your room, this is where you'll both stay till the termination of your stay. I suggest you get in and get comfortable and set up with your stuff. You will be summoned at 17 hundred hours for dinner by myself, then you shall come back here for an early night. You will be requested to be up at zero four hundred for your first days training. Dismissed." With that, Captain began to walk off where he'd come from. Cissnei looked at Legend who shrugged his shoulder and pointed to the door.

"Ladies first."
