Chapter of the day! I decided this story might take up to 25 chapters. Don't worry, there is always a sequel! :D Adding a bit of Zerith moment even though romance is not yet my cup of tea.
Disclaimer: I do not own FFVII, only my OC.
Nibel Reactor
Mekazu breathed deeply as he saw that he killed Sephiroth. He had a rough headache and flew up back to chamber.
Cloud came up, and he tends to the lying Tifa on the ground.
"Tifa..." said Cloud with worry.
Mekazu said. "Zack... Cloud..."
Zack, who watched over the door of Nibelheim Reactor, replied. "Unbelievable... you beated him.."
Mekazu nodded. "Actually... I personally hate what happened to me sixteen years ago. I still don't know... why my Mother died... they say it was sickness..." He facepalmed in worry.
Mekazu said. "Zack, Cloud. I got a favor for you."
Cloud looked at Mekazu. "What is it?"
Mekazu said. "Give me time to make you a dead person."
Zack's eyes widened. "What?!"
Mekazu said. "Its too complicated, but oh well we have three hours before Shinra gets us."
Cloud. "You are going to tell us everything?"
Mekazu's head tilted up and down as the answer.
Two hours later
"Shinra... they.." said Zack in disbelief.
"So this is why some people have wings..." said Cloud.
"Mekazu... What are you going to do now?" asked Zack. "I'll probably go back to Shinra like nothing happened then when the right time comes, I will destroy it from the inside." replied Mekazu.
"Zack, isn't there someone you need to go back to?" said Mekazu.
"Oh... I go have to get back to her." said Zack, remembering Aerith.
"Shinra is going to hunt you two for an experiment, called Jenova Reunion Theory, by Professor Hojo. I don't know much else." said Mekazu.
Mekazu raised his arm and a red light glowed. "Shit... this thing is going to cost a part of my vitality.."
"What is that?" asked Zack.
"With this Natural Materia I have, I'm going to replicate your bodies like clones, with the same DNA properties and genetics, we will use them as decoys against Shinra so we won't be in the run. It'll last for four years."
"This could be good." said Cloud with relief.
Zack asked. "What about Tifa?" Cloud said. "Yeah, what about her?"
Mekazu said. "Meh, I don't carry anything, so I carry her. A big damn sword on your back isn't even a problem to me unless its a fucking septic tank."
The duo laughed on Mekazu's words.
"I can't guarantee you both safety under my wing. I'm weakened a bit after this." replied Mekazu.
Mekazu unleashed the power, making Zack and Cloud's bodies go red, as he groans in pain a little bit in ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the clones are completed, laying unconscious.
"You two, hold in my leg." said Mekazu.
The two did as what he said.
"This will be a damn crash course back to the shitty slums!" declared Mekazu proudly as he jets off at fast speed. Zack and Cloud were held together like buckles in Mekazu as the three were headed towards Midgar's slums.
Meanwhile, at Shinra Building, Heidegger and President Shinra are in a meeting.
"Report. Sephiroth, SOLDIER 1st Class and Zack Fair, SOLDIER 1st Class were killed in action." reported Heidegger.
Shinra's eyes went wide in disbelief. "Sephiroth... the hero has been killed in action? Impossible!"
"Well, Professor Hojo took an infantryman and the dead Zack Fair into his experiments." replied Heidegger.
"Excellent, it goes well into the plan." smirked Shinra. "Oh, by the way. Where is Mekazu Ataxia?"
"He will be back tomorrow. Series of assignments have been arranged for him." said Heidegger.
"Very good." said Shinra.
At the reactor, Hojo and his team retrieved "Zack" and "Cloud".
"Intriguing! Most intriguing! He'll make a fine test subject!" cackled Hojo in satisfaction. Little did he know it was a clone made by Mekazu. Hojo noticed a black feather with red trims, and picked it up.
He cackled again. "Another bonus! This will be a fine sample!"
At the wasteland on Midgar, Mekazu is flying over higher than helicopters.
Zack saw something, and he said… "I see Midgar!" Cloud is attached to Mekazu's leg tightly so as Zack.
Mekazu said. "Hold on tight, kid. We're gonna land in the park!"
Mekazu flew to the bottom section of Midgar's plate: the slums. Zack and Cloud released themselves on Mekazu's legs, and panted.
Mekazu sighed. "Get some sleep first, you two. Its already by midnight."
Zack and Cloud nodded, and the former led Mekazu and Cloud towards the church in Sector 5.
When they opened the door, Aerith isn't there.
Zack said. "Why she isn't here?"
Mekazu replied. "Meh, since I'm also an information collector, I'd tell you this. Aerith has also her home."
Zack replied. "Oh... Well Mekazu, what do you plan to?"
Mekazu said. "You two, stay in the slums no matter how long it is. Its dangerous in the upper plate. I want to collect more information on Shinra, do assignments so I can discover more of my origins, then I will join a part-time work as a Turk to keep watch on you two. Understand?"
Cloud said. "Alright.."
Mekazu stated. "Two more things. First, I'll find AVALANCHE, and join them when the right time comes. Two, in the slums, Do whatever you want as long as Shinra's bitches don't notice you. Oh, by the way. Let me borrow your sword for a while to make sure they think you're dead."
Zack closed his fist in a yes gesture. "You got it!"
The next day, Aerith was tending to the flowers until Zack surprised her.
Aerith was surprised, and said. "Oh, Zack!"
Zack replied with a smile. "I told you, I'll see you." He turned around to see Cloud awake.
"Oh, by the way. Aerith, this is Cloud. He is the one who I'm talking abkut."
"Hi, I'm Cloud."
"Hello, I'm Aerith."
The trio started spending every moment of each other in talking in the church.
Mekazu went on the upper plate, lower classed SOLDIERs and infantrymen saluted to the 1st class as he enters the SOLDIER Floor.
All people were murmuring and chattering about Sephiroth and Zack's death.
"Why... Zack? Is this a lie? Please! I hope this is a lie!" said Luxiere, who was a fan of Zack and also a SOLDIER 2nd Class.
"Zack..." said Kunsel, a friend of him.
"Sorry guys.. he really died." said Mekazu, faking himself a look of guilt.
"Prove it to us!" said Luxiere, agitated.
Mekazu showed the Buster Sword in front of them, which huge gasps were heard. "I found this lying on a reactor in the mission, and the floor is smeared in blood. Its too late.."
The others glared at Mekazu. For being hardcore fans to Zack, they might put the blame on him. But his eyes were like he shouldn't be messed with.
"Where is his body?" asked Luxiere.
"Mako pit." replied Mekazu.
"Sir, someone wants to see you." said an infantryman who approached Mekazu.
"Alright, I'll come. I'll keep his sword." said Mekazu as he leaves.
Mekazu went to the briefing room, and greeted by Tseng.
"Tseng of the Turks." said Tseng, introducing.
"Mekazu Ataxia, SOLDIER 1st Class." said Mekazu.
"I heard you want to have a part-time work for us." said Tseng.
"I did." replied Mekazu.
"What is the reason, then?" asked Tseng.
"Well, I want to try do other works besides SOLDIER." said Mekazu.
"Alright, just fill in the bits on this paper and you're registered." replied Tseng.
Mekazu started filling in the bits, without a doubt his plan starts now..
What will Mekazu do next? Find out in the next chapter! Sorry if I left Tifa behind XD but Oh well, assume she is taken to Seventh Heaven. :3
