You must read all of this story. Disc 2 is all the way down on the bottom of the page.
Dear Readers,
Allow me to express my gratitude to you for getting thus far. There is also a 1% chance you are here randomly. I also thank you as well.
If you are just reading this for "just because" That's cool, scroll down to where its says Loveless in big letters. I am going to include some of views on the drama. I am doing this because I am not sure if anyone is even following along or whatever.
OR If you are reading this. It means that you have interest in the 1997 PS1 Classic Final Fantasy 7. Even other titles from it's millions sold compilation.
To explain the story the better, it is wise if you actually play the games and watch the movies.
Writing this story is challenging for me because I don't want to be to far off track from the FF7 feel. There is a plethora of lure to maintain.
I ask you to look down this road I am about to pave. So that it may a pleasant ride for all to enjoy.
Square-Enix is nice enough to include FF7 characters in other video games outside of it's own series. It is obvious that the people at Square know that FF7 is really special, as do it's dedicated fans around the world. How many other games from 1997 still have the fan base that FF7 has today?
Being in 1997 as a young adolescent was a real treat for anyone who knows. It's my opinion that some type of new installment should be released to mark the 20th year Anniversary of the game. I guess that part is up to it's fan's and the creators?
My thought's of the Classic game may differ to a young video gamer in the present. With so many platforms of gaming available today, and since then. The patina of the game is lost in translation.
Maybe to better understand the game and all of its facets. It must first be catapulted into the future, now?
There are many fan's that can say
Final Fantasy 7. A game, where you are thrust into the original Crisis. The point at which everything changes. Perhaps one of the most memorable gaming experiences of all time. When Aerith departs by way of the Masamune.
An incredible view to this day. It's black beaches still littered with remnants of the past. From a crisis that went to far.

A Quote from the movie Pacific Rim:
"Haven't you heard, Mr. Beckett? The world is coming to an end. Where would you rather die? Here, or in a Jaeger?
Today. Today... at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today.
Today we face the monsters that are at our door, and bring the fight to them. Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!
Mako! You can finish this! I'll always be there for you! You can always find me in the drift!"

The drift
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DboMAghWcA --- Rise Against - Hero Of War
Scene 1
Outside Midgar, somewhere near Kalm.
Zack’s resting place really was never easy for Cloud to go to in the first place. He remained there a while this day. Slightly over grown vegetation spilled down from boulders. The sword that Zack gave Cloud still remains.
It’s wear and tear was sure noticeable. The lights reflection was tainted as it crossed over the oxidizing surfaces of the relic.
Cloud is perched up to a rock staring beyond to Midgar.
He thinks to himself:
“Memories together, individual experiences. We can retrace the footsteps of those times. Chance encounters and wishful thinking. It is the path's that connects us together. "
( The memories of Cosmo Canyon at the bonfire. Nanaki decides to join Cloud and his friends permanently )
"Everything is where it belongs."
Cloud looks at the sword only for a short time.
Remembering Zack is challenging for Cloud. Scientific experiments left their bodies traumatized. Not to mention the Mako posioning... If it weren't for Zack well then.
(Thinking to himself )
"Still difficult to remember.Thought I was past this.
We have good memories…I owe everything to him. "
Unsettling feelings would occasionally trigger Cloud to search his past for answers. He knew this should not be this way. Something is there reaching out to him. Was it Her? Floating out there, where it was he did not know.
Like a splinter in the world, Jenova remains in the planet. Held back?
It was disseminated in the Lifestream. It's will lives on. It remains protected from her child. Shinra Soldier 1st Class Sephiroth. The highest Rank of the Shinra Soldier Program. After events past, Sephiroth evolved into nothing less than a Super Soldier.
It was the bane of Clouds existence to settle the score for his friends lost by Sephiroth's hand.
They were his memories.
Gaia remained free of pestilence. Some places are still even unknown. New towns are springing up in the wake of Peace. The past rooted under its inhabitants. The future seems to be in their hands.
The Shinra remained, their locations undisclosed and unwanted. Trails of knowledge erased with the High Ranking Shinra officials. They were either systematically targeted or perished due to their own diabolic scheming.
Grey areas remains open, lofting like some unfinished business.
Obtaining closure meant only one thing for Cloud. That he would have to re-live his past. The memories were flush ripe for him.
The Jenova S-Cells in his body provides a more vivid experience through it all. They seemed to be strongest when focused around his past.
He did not know if it was because of the mutual attraction the Cells have. Even mentioning it gives recognition to their tuned frequencies of a mire past. Perhaps there could be some degradation process for S-Cells after all.
Everything the planet had been through. It has only made the cycle stronger and more ever lasting.
Clouds body also had been through so much stress in his journey’s through lifestream. Has faced adversity in his life. Often a rush of heightened senses would pulsate. It was reminiscent of being in the Northern Cave. Or saturated with Mako to the bones. To Cloud this was just normal, but the occurrences made him drift…
( Say bye-bye to Cloud? In all of the world Jenova will permanently exist in one place. The mimetic legacy lives on as long as Cloud remains. The Jenova S-Cells, the essence of Sephiroth remains in Cloud. )
Scene 2
Cloud is tearing through dirt fields on his motorcycle. Dust is flying behind him.
It was once rumored in Shinra Security, that the place was possibly a hot spot for Top Secret Turk research, maybe even Shinra Weapons R &D.
Cloud approaches an abandoned unmarked outpost.
Documents were from someone on watch when the shack closed. They suggested that an accident happened here. It stated the accident might have occurred due to a magnetic fluctuation from the mountain near by. The sentries last entry says:
“Mako split a crevice of the mountain. The facility will be undergoing quarantine as a result from an unexpected eruption. ”
Cloud decided that he would first determine the route to the Shinra facility. Even locate the entrance before the darkness completely set in. It was getting dark, not much light in the area .
He knew that Tifa was going to be upset with him when she finds out he was late because of Shinra.
Riding along the mountain, parallel to the tree line. He notices the reflection of stars off the brush polished head of Fenrir.
A moments glance was a snap shot of the sky.
"Nibelheim. These stars look like the same stars above the well. "
There is a green glaze, limelight to the sky near this part of the mountain. The stars burn bright in a spectrum of their perspective colors.
Whatever it was, something is off about the situation. It could be anything. The shore line where Diamond assaulted Midgar was close by. Maybe it's Shinra facility? Cloud decided to return home and just visit back in a day or two. He found where he needed to be.
Scene 3
Cloud returns back to Tifa's.
She is questioning him about where he has been. Denzel wanted to show him something important but he is asleep now.
Tifa: "What are you chasing Cloud? Remember we are here together. We have our family and friends. Denzel wanted to show you a gift from Reeve. He ( Denzel ) looks up to you Cloud. "
Cloud:" You are right Tifa. I will ask him to show me tomorrow. Is he feeling better?"
Tifa" Yes he is, the mountain flower you found really helped his stomach."
Cloud: "I remember our promise always Tifa. "
Tifa :" Me too. Keep up the good work Cloud.
Where did you go today?"
Cloud: "The flower was exactly where you said it would be. I was checking out the area, and found old Shinra sentry logs"
Tifa: "Where and what did they say?"
Cloud: " It was a remote guard post. The only places near it were Midgar and mountains. The details were mostly insignificant, they only talked about a facility closing. It must have been knocked down.
The place was familiar to me though. "
Tifa: "Drifting drifting, drifting drifting Cloud. "
( Tifa knew that it was not good for Cloud to indulge in his history with Shinra. )
Tifa:"Make sure you see Denzel before anything. He is excited you are back!"
The smile she gives Cloud always makes him feel better.
Part 2
Chaos Beckoning
( story )
Nibelheim
( Shinra Mansion Basement )
His nightmares are stronger than normal. The encounter with Omega Weapon was not without collateral damages.
Vincent committed 100% percent of his body to Chaos in order to subdue the forces of evil. For all the effort put in to contain it, Chaos had almost taken everything away from him. Vincent maintains control.
In any manner, the nightmares are much more lucid.
He is watching the fight with Omega as a partition in his own dream. The details were mostly just the same, only fuzzy at certain points. It faded in and out of focus. The burning pain just normal. Only this time everything is slightly retrospect. As Vincent is advancing he is focused on the results. His dreamscape slightly shifting before him.
He knows the next action, and it is fluid. He can feel certain body reactions that are slightly off from his own.
Vincent had always alluded the darkness in the decades sleep before he met Cloud. His atonement was the core purpose.
The fight against Omega was the keystone that solidified the bond.
In the final moments, it felt to Vincent that Chaos had slowed time.
Vincent saw the final blows sequenced out before him . A predetermined series of motions were set in place.
A phase shift occurred, the darkness' depth was becoming finite. Giving into the premonitions meant pressuring the grips of reality of the vessel.
Vincent: " And to who do I actually owe the pleasure too? I'm convinced this is not the way."
It was understood to Vincent in these dreams he is susceptible. He would fall into a deep sleep in response to loss of control.
Whereas before, Vincent rejected Chaos. Now both vessel and intent were becoming one. It is a melding pot of crossing nightmares. He is certain the nightmares were becoming increasingly potent.
Four walls and time. All that's left is to wake up.

Oil storage fields of Crummel ( random town name, not sure where Square has Barrets oil operation set at )
( Story )
Oil field Alpha-1:
To much pressure built up in the reducer valve. Oil started spraying from the valve stem in all directions. The team is trying it's best to secure the leak. Bastion has been foreman for almost one week now. He was dealing with it as best as he could.
"This might be one for the boss" he thought.
The emergency crimping kit was at site Delta-4. The boss made a last minute decision to work at Alpha-1. He likes to bring his daughter on the weekends, the area is scenic. The new arm graft is top quality material. He could easily stop this leak.
Bastion: "*#%@ *#%@ why is this happening right now?!?"
"Open emergency dump valve for FV-2. HURRY VIOLET!"
Yelling to his team mate who is posted by the switch station
Violet did not even have time to confirm the switch. Bastion was already back at the valve before she could say anything. Using any method available to slow the leak.
It only took a few seconds after that for Reiss to dash over to assist his older brother. He gave Bastion another garment to try and strengthen the area around the valve stem.
Violet was sprinting over with some absorbents from the oil spill kit.
Bastion realized that a 3 days before the accident could have been prevented. He was showing is younger brother Reiss how to inspect the valve before installing it. He forgot to mention that the packing material exposure allowance was only 1/8th inch. Anything more could be a potential system failure or even worse
Bastion" Did you see Barret near the station Violet!?"
Violet replies "No one is there!"
Bastion: "#$%@$$! Hurry both of you, go find him and bring him back!!"
Violet and Reiss split in 2 directions.
Bastion managed to get some of the packing material back into the valve housing. He could ease pressure on his makeshift field turnicate. He took a sigh of relief.
Then suddenly he saw the switchboard trip indicating a slight increase in pressure. Not a second after, the packing material on the valve stem freed itself. The surface area of the leak increased from the tampered packing material. It was now spraying oil almost twice as hard.
'Very loud audible alarm going off '
The pressure on the relief valve was now building. The slightest increase could pop the valve. Back pressure in the system build up. A massive explosion could result.
Covered in oil, Bastion stands up. The hair's on the back of his neck raise up. He takes a deep breath and pushes his chest out.
Bastion: " BOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!"

Further in game preview = (1/2 way through original FF7 disc 2 ))
The machine Reeve had designed was working great. Cubic meters of debris easily excavated with ease. The ground was terrible shale. The meteor's impact churned up iron from the crust.
Rufus Shinra, a well to do business man paces the rim of the crater.
Rufus " Exactly how many pockets of gas are we expecting? "
A young Reeve responds:" 30, at least sir. Our team trains for that many, were actually only expecting somewhere around 14-18."
"The machines are designed to withstand up to 2 pockets at once"
The team managed the excavate around 160 meters. They encountered an Iron layer.
Dialing the wrong #
Part 2 Sub Chapter 2 ( optional )
Professor Ghast showing an experiment of magnets.
Reeve was among the attendance.
Ghast:"Observe the things we can do with magnets."
The group moves in closer Rufus Shinra and Reeve in front.
There was a flake of Mako on the table contained in a dark liquid of a test beaker. On either side of it was a small machine.
The magnetic energy frequency increased. It became a polarized lifeflake.
With special glasses, Reeve moves closer to observe the reactions.
"Aside the light, there is a ripple on the surface"
Increasing power created more intricate patterns.
Fast forward
Rufus Shinra and Reeve Tuesti speaking in the new Shinra tower.
Rufus funded Reeve to design and build Midgar No. 1 Mako Reactor
Rufus Shinra" They will never be able to stop the main vein from opening! Haha no matter what our enemies try. "
( Laughing together ) Rufus: "hahaha nothing can stop us Reeve!
Reeve was left with a last resort choice.
(Avalanche ) or ( Turks ) had( been tricked) or ( been successful ) in the core of the reactor.
He decided that an overcharge of Mako could actually cause the reactor to trip and fail. A casualty Reeve knew would be irreplaceable for Rufus Shinra. He could stop this madness, and if he did nothing...
Flushing Bad Memories...
Part 2 Sub Chapter 3
System Casualty Reports were flooding into the Central Command of the Shinra HQ. This was a terrible event in the Urban Development Department.
The foreign Shinra observation posts were reporting radiation poisoning to local citizens and wild life. In Mideel, Shinra field agents noted the increase in Mako activity. All over the world, the same thing.
The overcharging of the system effectively over worked the components of the Mako reactors causing a failure. It would be a few years before it could be restored to operating conditions.
Consequentially the overcharge might have freed whatever was in the way at the Northern Crater. It was determined the reason they could not punch threw was because there was something on the other side...
In the center of all reports and information is the constructor.
Newly promoted department head of Urban Development Department Reeve.

Destination Paradise
( Story )
Wutai
The city is dressed in it's festive attire. It is the Festival of the New Year in the Wutai. There are red colored tents and stages. The costumes of the dancers are Red and Green with golden lacing.
Banners and streamers wave in the wind above the tents. All over Wutai the buildings have different decorations. There are blow up dragons on a string. They are floating around in certain areas of the crowds.
The barbeque stand smelled of delicious grill top cooked livestock. Across from the barbeque on a stick stand was the fried sea foods. The fryers crisp and crackled loudly.
The Wutai natives hustled and bustled behind the tents. Keeping up with celebration and laughter.
On the stage the local art school was performing the traditional dragon dances. A variety of deep drums and shamisen ( violin type instrument ) are the heartbeat. Leviathan Scales were dominantly displayed in the middle of the stage in a crystalline glass case.
Godo is foreseeing the festival, making sure the tourist and refugee's are well cared for.
While maintaining the tradition of his, and his people's. The significance of the holiday is to welcome in a new prosperous year and give thanks.
The people of Wutai welcomed their far west neighbors. Many families were misplaced from the devastation of Midgar. Lifestream masted explosion that engulfed Mideel. So many places destroyed. Gaia was still recovering, it was only fit.
The Sun is peaking at its highest point over the mountains. The clouds above open and let the sun in on the fair day. The sun hits the scales and illuminates the stage for a moment. Red colored decorations in the town take on a more vibrant shade of red.
Godo takes delight in seeing the happiness.
Meanwhile...
During a tour of Wutai's Pagoda tower 2 weeks before. Yuffie upset the headmaster by not doing what he told her. He instructed her that she was to provide a community service for the townspeople.
The congregation meeting took place by Yuffie's home. They were tasked to make sure Wutai remained clean.
The children with Yuffie were mostly misfits. Out side the Turtle Paradise Lounge, Yuffie convinced the young kids that she could help them find buried treasure from around Wutai. Naturally they told their friends. Yuffie named them Turtle Gang.
Materia Master Yuffie: " Yes, that's right kiddo's! Your clan leader returns, now what do you have for me?"
Kid 1 : "We don't understand why we have to clean up these places to find treasure.
Kid 2 : "Yeah!"
Kid 3 : "We should be digging!"
Yuffie replies to the crowd: "Digging?! That makes you dirty and sleepy! I know the places where we can find the treasures! We have to do this first. So later, we can access those places to clean! Now go out and clean before we miss our opportunity!"
The kids scattered through out the town. Low and high they cleaned it of any trash or foreign debris.
Yuffie approaches Godo who is in the center place of town.
Godo: "I must say Yuffie, the town is looking very good. I saw that you were able to get some little helpers?"
Yuffie: " Yes that's right! We all decided that the town was becoming littered with trash. They are good group of scamps!"
Godo looks at Yuffie as to say 'hmm'.
Godo: "Good Yuffie, I hope that you understand now that the treasure belongs to the people. As the headmaster there can be no other way. "
Yuffie has no choice but to listen.
Godo: "When are we expecting your friends? The spiky haired one I think?"
Yuffie: " Who Cloud? Waaa-ha, who knows what he is doing. I talked with Tifa, Barret, Nanaki."
"Tifa said that she was bringing Cloud, Denzel and Marlene."
"Barret said that Cid and Reeve are also coming. And that they are also bringing new friends."
"Nanaki is coming too!"
Godo: " Good, good. Make sure you bring them to the Pagoda OK?"
Yuffie: " Yes Sir!"
Godo: " And Yuffie.."
Yuffie: " What?"
Godo: " Clean up around home, it's a mess."
Yuffie: "Ughh, whatever Gramps!"
End Scene
"The treasure is mine!! I was the one who found it anyway" ( throwing rice )
"I will have it back one way or the other nyuck nyuck nyuck"
Cargo Deck of Shera II
The Shera II luxury was not over looked. The conference room was big enough to hold 20 people, comfortably.
There is much excitement in the air. Everyone is onboard. Marlene, Tifa and Denzel were talking about their last time they had a vacation.
This was something very new for Denzel. The last vacation was fun and nice, but this one meant more. He was getting to go places he has never really been for. Everything was OK though. Because he was just happy to be with Cloud and his friends.
Tifa: " Has it really been that long Marlene?"
Marlene: " Yea! I was really small! I think this one is going to be much funner Tifa!"
Tifa: " That's right, I know you will love it there."
Marlene: "What do you think Denzel?"
Denzel: "I want to go and see the mountain there!"
Marlene: "Yes me too, me too!"
Marlene:" But is it dangerous there?"
Cloud: "Not anymore. We just need to be careful not to injure ourselves."
Denzel: " Is that why you brought Choco, Cloud? "
Cloud: " Yes. As well as getting him out to stretch his legs."
Marlene: " Good thinking!"
Cid voice suddenly comes over the announcement system of the airship.
Cid: "Attention all hands, the ship is landing in 35 minutes, make preparations!"
Cloud: " Let's go see Choco together before we land."
Denzel and Marlene: " Yeaa!!"
Cloud, Marlene and Denzel make their way to the door of the conference room. They are headed to the inner cargo deck. Where the Chocobo Stable is.
Before exiting the room, Marlene turns to Tifa.
Marlene: " Are you coming with us too, Tifa?"
Tifa: " I will stay here, I need to talk with our friends before we land."
Marlene:" OK"
Marlene quickly turns around. With a hop and skip in her step, she exits the room. She was really happy because her Dad bought her a new dress to wear. It was her favorite color too.
Tifa: "So Violet, Barret told me that you lived in Sector 5?"
Violet: "That's right sugar. I moved out of Sector 4 a few years before The Collapse."
Tifa:" Did you like staying in Sector 5?"
Violet: "The food was ok, but it sure was a strange place!"
Barret: "S#!&, you can say that again."
Everyone except Reiss laughs a little
Tifa:"It's true!"
Violet:" I do remember some good folk there."
Barret: "Yo Reiss, you said you grew up in the Corel Desert?
Reiss:" Yeah, my brothers and I left when I was only 16."
Barret: " Have you ever been to Cosmo Canyon? It ain't to far from there."
Reiss: "We almost did one time, but things changed."
He gestures a waving thumbs up indicating the meteor fall.
Nanaki:" If you should decide that you would like to go there, please let me know."
Barret:" Nanaki here is the Guardian of Cosmo Canyon. He knows every in and out of Cosmo Canyon."
Reiss:" Ok, thanks then. I will have to plan it out."
The Chocobo Stable was located exactly center line of the airship's keel. It could house up to 5 Golden Chocobo. The Golden Chocobo's were always more energetic than any of it's other relatives. They needed additional space to move around.
Denzel: "Cloud, why are the Golden Chocobo special?"
Cloud:" Well mostly because he can choose to go anywhere in the world he wants."
Marlene:" But why can't the other Chocobo do the same thing?"
Cloud: "It's what makes him special. He and his parents decided that they would be able to enjoy the fruits of the world. It is their determination to be the best."
Choco: " Wark!"
King and Queen of the Moonlight
She is too far out of reach for him. He can feel the grip of the darkness pulling him back.
Vincent: "Lu.....LUCRECIA!!!"
Vincent collapses to his knees. The sorrow is crippling for Vincent. His face plants to his hands in dismay. The darkness is closing in the dreamscape. Energy from the void can be felt measured in pounds per square inch on the vessel.
Vincent:" What about HER PAIN AND SORROW."
"IF NOT FOR ME...KSK...GGGAAAA AHHH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
The transformation was in progress. Chaos is starting the take over.
Vincent closes his eye's. The pressure shifting. And then the scar. The burning pain, each and every time Vincent and Chaos bonded. The land scape was returning. The place where Vincent and Lucrecia would meet was getting closer.
A final choke of the vessel. Darkness is preventing him from her...
An unnatural fiery explosion occurs as the transformation is complete.
Chaos:"HAHAHA Where are you fiend?!"
Chaos now standing facing the darkness. The light behind his back. Chaos can see better with his mind's eye. In the darkness there is a foreboding shadow that is centralized. He could see it's rough edges amidst the weary darkness.
Cargo Deck Of Shera II
Violet and Reiss were making their way out to the air deck. They wanted to see the city coming in.
The last 6 months have been really difficult for Reiss. The explosion took his brother Bastion. The event plagues him ill. It was Violet and Barret that have been keeping him from being rash.
Tifa, Barret, Nanaki are talking in the conference room.
In her most soothing tone; Tifa:"I know how you are feeling right now. It's not true though. No matter what we could have done differently. Life...will always have it's way."
Barret:"Thank my lucky stars for you, Tifa"
Tifa: "There is something important we need to talk about. I'm afraid it's not safe to discuss it here."
King and Queen of the Moonlight
The patterns edge is not constant.
With a ferocious stance, Chaos begins to raise his arms. His body entrenched with a crimson aura. Energy is visible emanating from the vessel. Like heat escaping from a window.
Chaos:"You pose as the shadow, cowardice! Only PAIN awaits you...HAHAHAHA!"
Trembling with raw energy, the vessel focuses. A concavity of energy releases from it's shoulder into the moon lit sky. The vessel opened it's eyes and released a horrid roar. It lunged at the darkness, it clinched the memories in his hand.
Chaos dropped a bomb of energy on the area that shifted. It caused a ripple on the fabric of their plane. The crimson purple energy that resignated in the blast zone. It was sucked into the void of darkness.
In the depth's Chaos saw two red eyes,
A voice, a whisper. It skipped higher tone notes. Sounded like it had been dredged through the mud.
"Your memories are meaningless. Everything you are is because of my bidding."
Now bear witness to the Dream Devastator. I will continue to take pleasure in your remorse. I am the upheaval, the Alpha. Obsidian Malice. My will can not be stopped.

And then there was only darkness, the burning pain subsiding.
Vincent free thoughts" I am not ready yet."
The sensation of mutual understanding came from with in the vessel.
Chaos:"I am not ready yet...Yet I see you now."
A high pitch frequency is heard, it grows until it is deafening.
**( This is where I intend show the evolution of the Lifestream. How the past, present, and future exists at one point. Similar to Cloud connecting with Zack and Aerith )**
Destination Paradise
Just outside Wutai.
The Shera II is touched down. The deck hands are securing the ship to the ground.
A big welcome party is waiting for their heralded guests. Full dress dancers had the crowds following them. The airship is parked directly at the furthest point of the dancing parade.
The decorative lanterns are the first thing Denzel notices about Wutai. Not to mention the big tower and mountain. He saw them kilometers away.
The Party is leaving the brow of the airship.
Reeve: "Everything look's great."
Cid: "Now you don't see that every day."
The sun is setting behind the mountains.
Barret:" Whoa, what a sight for sore eyes."
Tifa:" Great!"
Nanaki:"Oh my..."
Darting through the crowds of people there is a flash. It's kind of all over the place.
Then Yuffie appears at the bottom of the stairs to greet her friends.
Yuffie: "Hi guys! Long time no see! Welcome to the Lantern Festival! You made it in perfect timing. The Art School is going to be displaying the grand finale tonight!"
Cloud: "We are all honored for the invitation."
( It's been a while since I have been the Actual Lantern Festival in Japan. By the way, I have a good idea about Japan and Wutai. I have been to those Cliffs, rested my head there on the White Beaches. Kicked back a few with friends. We stormed the black beaches with our dragons. Each and every time the dragons would hit the beach, it would knock the wind out of them. We were the ones who put them back together. It was on our shoulders that the Dragons flew. )

--For all intensive purposes I will be coming back to this part. Or you can post a quick reply, for a scene you think would work. I was thinking maybe something like Denzel and Marlene interacting with the Turtle Gang. For now, I will cut to the chase.
( wake up Chrono )
Deep in the Wutai Mountain, inside a Materia Cove
Godo has directed Yuffie and the Party to a growing concern in the planet.
Godo:" You see this Materia was not this color before. I do not know what to make of it."
"It's used to hold the color of the mountain flame."
Nestled in a bosom of vines is a large piece of condensed Materia. The fountain of light around contained whispers of Ancient knowledge. The color mixes from bright flames to a daunting Auburn color.
Cloud:" Hmm, I remember the heat of the fires in the mountain caverns of this place. So hot were the flames."
Yuffie:" Yeah, but we never came to this place!"
Godo:" This fountain is the light of hope for our people. Yuffie, I did not intend to share this information with you this way. I am afraid that the Planet might be fighting for it's life again."
Cid:" Where are all the damn monsters then?"
Godo:"An excellent point, our lands remain free of evil."
Barret: "What's to worry about? That headless freak Jenova ain't been seen or heard from since we took it out."
Godo:"The last time something like this occurred was before the Great War."
Reeve: "There are subtle nuances that make me inclined to follow you Godo. I think there might be some bigger answer to this mystery we are not yet aware of."
Everyone immediately looks to Reeve. He is well known for his public speaking skills. He can illustrate his words and ideas with his hands.
Reeve:"Indeed though, reports of Mako fluctuation have been coming in over the past several months. They are nothing to worry over. The WRO is dedicated to be prepared for anything. We directly monitor the levels of toxicity in affected area's."
Barret:" I don't know, that sounds like something awful familiar."
Tifa: "What's going on Reeve, do you know something we don't?"
Reeve:" You can trust me when I say we have no more affiliation with them than we did 3 years ago. It's even less now."
Cloud:" It is the Planet's choice. It does not pick and choose it's battles. Faith, is our biggest weapon...we all know this. "
King and Queen of the Moonlight
Vincent came too from the deafening tone. The burning pain has gone. He was dressed back in his old uniform.
Vincent:" Ugh..what happened? Where am I?"'
A slightly familiar voice echoes out to him.
"More importantly; When are you?"
Vincent:"What kind of foul magic is this?"
Voice:"I realized that the battles you fight are the same as mine."
"140 years had passed since the Calamity from the sky fell. We were prosperous, but blind of the festering. The Shards were no longer with us, they were transported after the Crisis."
"These are my memories, that live on threw you."
Vincent:" What, just who are you?"
"I am you, Chaos is our vessel. I am of the Cetra. My name is Etherial, and it is best you not forget it."
An apparition appeared and focused. The silhouette of Cetra became visible on the landscape with Vincent.
Etherial:" My best friend was Jaffe. He was the strongest of our kind. He proved himself best during the war against the Calamity. After the War ended there was peace. Jaffe was the best Warrior because his mind was the sharpest. He knew it was this way. He became blinded by his own ambitions. The corruption occurred in the Ancient city of Clandestine. It was on the furthest boarders of our Kingdom. Beyond was the lands of the young human race."
Etherial:" The Creature took form of the most beautiful Human Woman the Planet had known. "
( Decisions, decisions...So I know what happens next. But, I think we will come back here later. What do you think? )

( For my friends in Hawaii, 808 and heart breaks
Now spread your wings, and give flight. Always remember,no matter what. NEVER give up the @#$%!!
Loveless
Evolve-less?
Prologue (Poem)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting
When the wars bring about the ends. Jenova will appear. Her influence will overwhelm all. The gift of fear is everlasting
The Build up of FF7 and FF7 Crisis Core / My story will reflect an ancient Aspect
Act I (Poem)
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.
(Her beauty alienated. We seek it's approval. The creature will continue to destroy worlds. )
Act II (Poem)
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
( Dear Aerith, there is only hope. For you are also loved by Jenova )
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
( No matter what you do, I will always triumph. The end is near )
Act III (Poem)
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
( You seek to ascend to save this place? A place where you ( Cetra, the Ancients ) and I are hated by them. (( humans )) But, alas. )
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
( With out destruction, there can not be creation )
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
( Even if the future seems to be in your hands, I shall return )
Act IV (Poem)
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left, the bow of the goddess
( Dear Cloud and Zack, twisted by my will. No honor remains, you can not Embrace your Dreams" )
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
( By Sephiroth's hand I will guide you. To save myself. From this eternal sleep. )
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely
( And HE will make the sacrifice, at the worlds end. )
Sephiroth / And ?? in FF7
Genesis / Zack and Cloud in FF7 Crisis Core
(I am going this way because Denzel was also an orphan. The gift of the goddess approves. To perpetuate the cycle )
Act V (Poem)
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice
( Even if the future seems to be in your hands. I shall return. To become the lifestream and the planet. I seek the 3 shards. I offer this silent sacrifice to perpetuate the cycle of fear. )
Love Always
Genova
The story focuses around three men who set out on a quest to find the fabled "Gift of the Goddess"
( imagine a pyramid. And at the Pinnacle is Jenova ( the Goddess )the bottom left corner is ?? the bottom right corner is Sephiroth. Now the bottom line that connects the bottom corners will have Obsidian Malice under it )
??(portrayed as Jaffe Malice)
Shera II Air Deck
Marlene:"Let's return here again! We met so many new friends."
Denzel:"The shows were awesome! I especially liked the swordsmanship tradition one."
Reeve:" Have you been training with the new swordstick Denzel?"
Denzel looks to Cloud;
Denzel:"Not yet, but I can't wait to try it."
Cloud:"You got it, we can try it when we get back."
Cloud:"OK everyone. Let's meet back up in a week. Our Destination is Wutai Make sure you are available.
Visiting / Nanaki departing Cosmo Canyon.
Cloud:"Just be ready for anything."
Nanaki:" Ok Cloud, I will look into this matter. The caves life has been since returning. In places, stones light is Returning."
Cloud:" When did you notice this?"
Nanaki:"Well...I must say it lay unbeknownst to me. I happen to 'stumble upon it'. That's not it, there is another secret that sleeps there."
Cloud:"You are going to have to show me what you are talking about?"
Nanaki:"Ok. Although it must be only when the time is appropriate."
Cloud:"Ok, keep your phs ( cell phone ) on."
Nanaki:"Yes I will."
Shera II Conference Room
Reeve:"So Cloud, what do you think?
Cloud:"I don't see why not. We can come check out the place sometime."
Denzel:"Yeaaa that would be fun to go see the WRO!"
Reeve:"I'll let you know if I hear anything."
Cloud:"Great, just be ready."
Shera II Air Deck
Cid:" Shoot, we might as well just dig in now."
Cloud:"Does everyone remember the night before?"
Tifa:" Yes, I remember it well."
Barret:"You bet yer spiky #$%, that was when she became my life."
Cid:" What are you getting at?"
Tifa:"She did not wait, she went to that place."
Cloud:"Times are changing, our climate reflects it."
"I can feel it in the planet. Can't you feel it as well Tifa?"
Avoiding eye contact;
Tifa:"I don't know what to make of it either..."
Barret:" So what do we do next?"
Cloud:" Find those memories again"
Cid:"@#$%, what about the others?"
Cloud:"Well, we need to wake up Vincent soon. Godo said he has not seen happenings of this sort since the Great War."
"We need to be vigilant for signs from the past I think. Stay aware of your surroundings. Be ready for anything."
Cid:"I'll see what I can do about Vincent."
Cloud:"Let me know if anyone hears from the Turks."
The Drift
Cloud:"So you want to save the world?"
"You must focus on the keyhole of opportunity"
"Do you see that stick there on the ground?"
Denzel looks over on the ground ahead. It's there.
Deznel:"Yes."
Cloud:"Go ahead and pick it up. Try and hit me with it if you can."
Denzel:"OK."
Denzel picks up the stick and looks at it. He lifts his head up and looks at Cloud.
Denzel;"Hyaaahhh."
Over and over again, he missed. He became exhausted and angry because every advance was a miss. He throws down the stick in frustration.
Denzel:"I can't do this, even with this lousy stick."
Cloud:"Here are your first two lessons."
"1. That stick has just as much life in it as you do. You must make it apart of you, an extension of yourself."
"2. And remember always. Protect your honor and Embrace your dreams.
Denzel picks up the stick, Cloud reaches out to him.
Cloud:"Now show me, how far will you go?"
Denzel looks at the stick in his hand.
Denzel's father:"Did you remember to bring your school work home?"
He grips the bottom of the stick with two hands.
Denzel:"Everything."
Denzel takes his first stance. The wind picks up for a second.
Denzel:"Grrryaaaaaa"
Cloud immediately noticed the influence of his eyes.
With each miss, Cloud watched Denzel tune his abilities.
( I want Character Tuning to be an important role in this video game. Because i think the concept is going to important when we get back to left field. )
Cloud" Where is your passion?!"
Life is good
Reeve:"It's about time, now where are those reports?"
WRO Courier:"Here sir, as requested the Genesis reports."
____________________________________________________________
Marlene:"Not yet Papa, I'm not sure if she want's me to actually use it."
Barret:"And that's just fine. Continue your studies with her darling."
"One day you are going to grow up into a wonderful, smart woman. Never forget how you got to where you are in life. Always take care of your friends."
Marlene is so happy to hear the words.
Aerith is speaking with a very young child named Marlene. The Turks are hot on Aerith's tale.
Aerith:"Don't worry about your Papa, he will be just fine. He has his friends too."
Marlene:"What do you mean?
Aerith:"One day you are going grow up to be a smart, wonderful girl. You will understand. Always be there for your friends!"
Marlene:" I think I understand Papa!"
Cosmo Canyon
Nanaki: "It's best not to disturb him."
Nibelheim
Cid is entering the spiral stair case into the Shinra basement.
Cid: "Damn place gives me the creeps. All's I ever wanted is a ticket into space."
He takes out the key that Cloud gave to him. The lock is really old and the click is more like a creek.
Cid:"OK, now which one of these is he in?"
Several coffins are in front of him.
The drift
Cloud returning from Midgar area, undiscovered Shinra Facility.
Cloud:"I have no idea what this black shard is. It's really sharp though."
The shard is about 2-3 times bigger than black materia.
The PHS cell phone rings. It's Cid.
Cid:"He's not here!"
Cloud:" What do you mean he's not there?"
Cid:"Like all the #$%$%# are empty. What else could that mean!"
Cloud:"Did you check the rest of the mansion? He also might just be in the area."
Cid:"I will look around on my way out. I need to get away from this @#$$% place."
Cloud:"OK, I'll call the others to let them know to get ready. See you soon,"
Destination Paradise
Inside Turtle Paradise lounge
Reno:"That's when Rude said 'were on'. Here I am on vacation in Costa Del Sol the last thing I am thinking about is getting out of the beach chair!"
"All for what? Because some stone is changing colors? That's what they do!"
Rude:"I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't think it was official."
Reno:"C'mon buddy, I smell a farce."
Rude looks at Reno in disbelief.
Cid walks in wiping the oil and dirt from his hands.
Cid:"She's ready for the long haul. Got the cold weather plating installed on the skin of the ship."
"We don't want the Shera II's line's freezing up in that cold #$% weather."
Cloud:"OK let's get this over with."
Cid is walking to the empty area on the outside. The next table over from the empty sat 2 familiar Turks.
Cid:" Well I'll be damned, I thought you boy's clocked out a while ago!"
Reno throws up signature a one hand, few finger salute.
Reno:" Good to see you too old man."
Cid:"Welcome back from the dead!"
Godo:"Let's begin everyone."
Godo:"What has been learned since last meeting?"
Reeve:" After thorough readings over both War Reports and the Genesis Reports."
"I've found that my initial guess is correct. There is evidence of increased Mako activity. The idea is perplexing to me because there are no Mako Reactors currently online...To my knowledge."
Reeve looks to the Turks.
Reno:"No way, now how."
Reeve:"Then the answer must still be out there. It is curious though, there are references to the return of Soldier 1st Class Genesis."
Cloud:"Genesis?!"
Reeve:"Yes, he was one time Sephiroth's friend and comrade."
"Do you remember him Cloud?"
Cloud:"It...is still difficult to remember."
Everyone gives Cloud a second.
Reeve:"It's ok Cloud, we know."
The Drift
Genesis:
"When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting"
Do you sense her Cloud? She is waiting for you to come home.
No thanks, I will find her on my own.
"Hmph, all you are is a Puppet Cloud"
'Stay where you belong'
Desitnation Paradise
Tifa:"Cloud come back!"
Cloud exhales,"Huuuuh.."
Reeve and Barret hold him up.
Barret:"Yer still full of all types #%@$% surprises"
Reeve:"Sit him down"
Tifa:"Cloud are you ok?"
Cloud:"Tifa, yes I am fine. I'm sorry about that."
Yuffie:"Jeeeez Cloud you scared us!"
Godo:"Should we not be worried?"
Cloud:"No, everything is where it belongs."
Nanaki:"Cloud, there is something I must share with you."
Cloud:"What is it?"
Nanaki:"It's Vincent."
Chaos Beckons
After not knowing what to make of his new nightmares, he travel's to find answers. His travel's eventually take him to places and caves long forgotten. Searching for signs of anything. The pain of his nightmares are reaching their threshold. Seeking to align himself with the stars, fixed on going to the battlefield of the ancient depths.
Vincent:"Hello old friend."
Nanaki:"Vincent?! What a surprise."
Vincent is blended in on top of a boulder. The Red sun at his back.
Nanaki:"What brings you here?"
Vincent:"Fate, it seem's."
Vincent present's a very old spear head.
Nanaki:"Where did you find that Vincent?"
Vincent:"The Ancient Jungle."
Elbow extended, his thumb points back.
Vincent:"With your permission, may I visit those caves?"
Nanaki has grown twice as wise since the beginning. He knows all to well, that usually Vincent does not bring good news.
Nanaki:"What would grandfather say?"
Destination Paradise
Nanaki:"I told him Yes, that I would help him. He asked me not to wake him up "unless there is a Crisis".
"I indeed tried to wake him up to be here. I'm afraid that my attempts were no good...His sleep is too deep."
Cloud:"We must wake him up. His dreams are no longer safe."
Tifa:"What DO you mean Cloud?"
Cloud:'His memories belong in the mansion. Because it must sleep there."
"Something must be wrong with Vincent..."
Tifa:"That's why there was a key..."
Yuffie:"Ohh no Vincent! We have to get him and make sure he is alright!"
Nanaki:"I agree."
Cloud turns to Cid
Cloud:"Let's adjust the course, we need to go to Cosmo Canyon first."
Cid:"!@#$% it all, I'm going going gone!"
Cid:"Just point me in the direction."
Reno:"Not a bad show."
A Race to the Finish
( Breath Air into your idea )
Violet:" Is this your first time here?"
Reiss:" Yes. We never really went around to much."
"Even more so after Jax left."
Violet:" Was Jax your oldest Brother?"
Reiss responds: "Yea" with a disappointed look on his face,
Reiss:"It doesn't really matter, that's just how it's always been. Jax raised us until I was about 16. We never really knew our father either. We just heard he was always in and out of Corel Prison."
Everything is Golden.
The blue colored rope-car had just past threw the mouth of the over sized Cerulean-type Moogle. ( Hah! )
Violet:"Hey Reiss, would ya look at that!"
There were so many color's and fireworks everywhere. It is a smorgasbord of light. A dancing twitter fluttered an ambient soft white, keeping up with it is slightly tiring to the eye!
Reiss could feel and hear the rumbling of talons in a sprint. He didn't notice until he turned around.
Reiss:"Chocobo's!"
Announcer:" And Timothy takes the lead! Sammy following close. But wait who is this?? He's gaining--
The rollar coaster's thunderous descent roared past them.
Violet:" Wow..."
Reiss and Violet are exiting the rope train.
Violet:"Shux, I hope the prices haven't changed."
Gold Saucer Greeter:" Welcome to Gold Saucer!"

AND
You must read all of this story. Disc 2 is all the way down on the bottom of the page.
Dear Readers,
Allow me to express my gratitude to you for getting thus far. There is also a 1% chance you are here randomly. I also thank you as well.
If you are just reading this for "just because" That's cool, scroll down to where its says Loveless in big letters. I am going to include some of views on the drama. I am doing this because I am not sure if anyone is even following along or whatever.
OR If you are reading this. It means that you have interest in the 1997 PS1 Classic Final Fantasy 7. Even other titles from it's millions sold compilation.
To explain the story the better, it is wise if you actually play the games and watch the movies.
Writing this story is challenging for me because I don't want to be to far off track from the FF7 feel. There is a plethora of lure to maintain.
I ask you to look down this road I am about to pave. So that it may a pleasant ride for all to enjoy.
Square-Enix is nice enough to include FF7 characters in other video games outside of it's own series. It is obvious that the people at Square know that FF7 is really special, as do it's dedicated fans around the world. How many other games from 1997 still have the fan base that FF7 has today?
Being in 1997 as a young adolescent was a real treat for anyone who knows. It's my opinion that some type of new installment should be released to mark the 20th year Anniversary of the game. I guess that part is up to it's fan's and the creators?
My thought's of the Classic game may differ to a young video gamer in the present. With so many platforms of gaming available today, and since then. The patina of the game is lost in translation.
Maybe to better understand the game and all of its facets. It must first be catapulted into the future, now?
There are many fan's that can say
Final Fantasy 7. A game, where you are thrust into the original Crisis. The point at which everything changes. Perhaps one of the most memorable gaming experiences of all time. When Aerith departs by way of the Masamune.
An incredible view to this day. It's black beaches still littered with remnants of the past. From a crisis that went to far.

A Quote from the movie Pacific Rim:
"Haven't you heard, Mr. Beckett? The world is coming to an end. Where would you rather die? Here, or in a Jaeger?
Today. Today... at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today.
Today we face the monsters that are at our door, and bring the fight to them. Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!
Mako! You can finish this! I'll always be there for you! You can always find me in the drift!"
( Story )
The drift
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DboMAghWcA --- Rise Against - Hero Of War
Scene 1
Outside Midgar, somewhere near Kalm.
Zack’s resting place really was never easy for Cloud to go to in the first place. He remained there a while this day. Slightly over grown vegetation spilled down from boulders. The sword that Zack gave Cloud still remains.
It’s wear and tear was sure noticeable. The lights reflection was tainted as it crossed over the oxidizing surfaces of the relic.
Cloud is perched up to a rock staring beyond to Midgar.
He thinks to himself:
“Memories together, individual experiences. We can retrace the footsteps of those times. Chance encounters and wishful thinking. It is the path's that connects us together. "
( The memories of Cosmo Canyon at the bonfire. Nanaki decides to join Cloud and his friends permanently )
"Everything is where it belongs."
Cloud looks at the sword only for a short time.
Remembering Zack is challenging for Cloud. Scientific experiments left their bodies traumatized. Not to mention the Mako posioning... If it weren't for Zack well then.
(Thinking to himself )
"Still difficult to remember.Thought I was past this.
We have good memories…I owe everything to him. "
Unsettling feelings would occasionally trigger Cloud to search his past for answers. He knew this should not be this way. Something is there reaching out to him. Was it Her? Floating out there, where it was he did not know.
Like a splinter in the world, Jenova remains in the planet. Held back?
It was disseminated in the Lifestream. It's will lives on. It remains protected from her child. Shinra Soldier 1st Class Sephiroth. The highest Rank of the Shinra Soldier Program. After events past, Sephiroth evolved into nothing less than a Super Soldier.
It was the bane of Clouds existence to settle the score for his friends lost by Sephiroth's hand.
They were his memories.
Gaia remained free of pestilence. Some places are still even unknown. New towns are springing up in the wake of Peace. The past rooted under its inhabitants. The future seems to be in their hands.
The Shinra remained, their locations undisclosed and unwanted. Trails of knowledge erased with the High Ranking Shinra officials. They were either systematically targeted or perished due to their own diabolic scheming.
Grey areas remains open, lofting like some unfinished business.
Obtaining closure meant only one thing for Cloud. That he would have to re-live his past. The memories were flush ripe for him.
The Jenova S-Cells in his body provides a more vivid experience through it all. They seemed to be strongest when focused around his past.
He did not know if it was because of the mutual attraction the Cells have. Even mentioning it gives recognition to their tuned frequencies of a mire past. Perhaps there could be some degradation process for S-Cells after all.
Everything the planet had been through. It has only made the cycle stronger and more ever lasting.
Clouds body also had been through so much stress in his journey’s through lifestream. Has faced adversity in his life. Often a rush of heightened senses would pulsate. It was reminiscent of being in the Northern Cave. Or saturated with Mako to the bones. To Cloud this was just normal, but the occurrences made him drift…
( Say bye-bye to Cloud? In all of the world Jenova will permanently exist in one place. The mimetic legacy lives on as long as Cloud remains. The Jenova S-Cells, the essence of Sephiroth remains in Cloud. )
Scene 2
Cloud is tearing through dirt fields on his motorcycle. Dust is flying behind him.
It was once rumored in Shinra Security, that the place was possibly a hot spot for Top Secret Turk research, maybe even Shinra Weapons R &D.
Cloud approaches an abandoned unmarked outpost.
Documents were from someone on watch when the shack closed. They suggested that an accident happened here. It stated the accident might have occurred due to a magnetic fluctuation from the mountain near by. The sentries last entry says:
“Mako split a crevice of the mountain. The facility will be undergoing quarantine as a result from an unexpected eruption. ”
Cloud decided that he would first determine the route to the Shinra facility. Even locate the entrance before the darkness completely set in. It was getting dark, not much light in the area .
He knew that Tifa was going to be upset with him when she finds out he was late because of Shinra.
Riding along the mountain, parallel to the tree line. He notices the reflection of stars off the brush polished head of Fenrir.
A moments glance was a snap shot of the sky.
"Nibelheim. These stars look like the same stars above the well. "
There is a green glaze, limelight to the sky near this part of the mountain. The stars burn bright in a spectrum of their perspective colors.
Whatever it was, something is off about the situation. It could be anything. The shore line where Diamond assaulted Midgar was close by. Maybe it's Shinra facility? Cloud decided to return home and just visit back in a day or two. He found where he needed to be.
Scene 3
Cloud returns back to Tifa's.
She is questioning him about where he has been. Denzel wanted to show him something important but he is asleep now.
Tifa: "What are you chasing Cloud? Remember we are here together. We have our family and friends. Denzel wanted to show you a gift from Reeve. He ( Denzel ) looks up to you Cloud. "
Cloud:" You are right Tifa. I will ask him to show me tomorrow. Is he feeling better?"
Tifa" Yes he is, the mountain flower you found really helped his stomach."
Cloud: "I remember our promise always Tifa. "
Tifa :" Me too. Keep up the good work Cloud.
Where did you go today?"
Cloud: "The flower was exactly where you said it would be. I was checking out the area, and found old Shinra sentry logs"
Tifa: "Where and what did they say?"
Cloud: " It was a remote guard post. The only places near it were Midgar and mountains. The details were mostly insignificant, they only talked about a facility closing. It must have been knocked down.
The place was familiar to me though. "
Tifa: "Drifting drifting, drifting drifting Cloud. "
( Tifa knew that it was not good for Cloud to indulge in his history with Shinra. )
Tifa:"Make sure you see Denzel before anything. He is excited you are back!"
The smile she gives Cloud always makes him feel better.

Chaos Beckoning
( story )
Nibelheim
( Shinra Mansion Basement )
His nightmares are stronger than normal. The encounter with Omega Weapon was not without collateral damages.
Vincent committed 100% percent of his body to Chaos in order to subdue the forces of evil. For all the effort put in to contain it, Chaos had almost taken everything away from him. Vincent maintains control.
In any manner, the nightmares are much more lucid.
He is watching the fight with Omega as a partition in his own dream. The details were mostly just the same, only fuzzy at certain points. It faded in and out of focus. The burning pain just normal. Only this time everything is slightly retrospect. As Vincent is advancing he is focused on the results. His dreamscape slightly shifting before him.
He knows the next action, and it is fluid. He can feel certain body reactions that are slightly off from his own.
Vincent had always alluded the darkness in the decades sleep before he met Cloud. His atonement was the core purpose.
The fight against Omega was the keystone that solidified the bond.
In the final moments, it felt to Vincent that Chaos had slowed time.
Vincent saw the final blows sequenced out before him . A predetermined series of motions were set in place.
A phase shift occurred, the darkness' depth was becoming finite. Giving into the premonitions meant pressuring the grips of reality of the vessel.
Vincent: " And to who do I actually owe the pleasure too? I'm convinced this is not the way."
It was understood to Vincent in these dreams he is susceptible. He would fall into a deep sleep in response to loss of control.
Whereas before, Vincent rejected Chaos. Now both vessel and intent were becoming one. It is a melding pot of crossing nightmares. He is certain the nightmares were becoming increasingly potent.
Four walls and time. All that's left is to wake up.

Oil storage fields of Crummel ( random town name, not sure where Square has Barrets oil operation set at )
( Story )
Oil field Alpha-1:
To much pressure built up in the reducer valve. Oil started spraying from the valve stem in all directions. The team is trying it's best to secure the leak. Bastion has been foreman for almost one week now. He was dealing with it as best as he could.
"This might be one for the boss" he thought.
The emergency crimping kit was at site Delta-4. The boss made a last minute decision to work at Alpha-1. He likes to bring his daughter on the weekends, the area is scenic. The new arm graft is top quality material. He could easily stop this leak.
Bastion: "*#%@ *#%@ why is this happening right now?!?"
"Open emergency dump valve for FV-2. HURRY VIOLET!"
Yelling to his team mate who is posted by the switch station
Violet did not even have time to confirm the switch. Bastion was already back at the valve before she could say anything. Using any method available to slow the leak.
It only took a few seconds after that for Reiss to dash over to assist his older brother. He gave Bastion another garment to try and strengthen the area around the valve stem.
Violet was sprinting over with some absorbents from the oil spill kit.
Bastion realized that a 3 days before the accident could have been prevented. He was showing is younger brother Reiss how to inspect the valve before installing it. He forgot to mention that the packing material exposure allowance was only 1/8th inch. Anything more could be a potential system failure or even worse
Bastion" Did you see Barret near the station Violet!?"
Violet replies "No one is there!"
Bastion: "#$%@$$! Hurry both of you, go find him and bring him back!!"
Violet and Reiss split in 2 directions.
Bastion managed to get some of the packing material back into the valve housing. He could ease pressure on his makeshift field turnicate. He took a sigh of relief.
Then suddenly he saw the switchboard trip indicating a slight increase in pressure. Not a second after, the packing material on the valve stem freed itself. The surface area of the leak increased from the tampered packing material. It was now spraying oil almost twice as hard.
'Very loud audible alarm going off '
The pressure on the relief valve was now building. The slightest increase could pop the valve. Back pressure in the system build up. A massive explosion could result.
Covered in oil, Bastion stands up. The hair's on the back of his neck raise up. He takes a deep breath and pushes his chest out.
Bastion: " BOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!"

Further in game preview = (1/2 way through original FF7 disc 2 ))
The machine Reeve had designed was working great. Cubic meters of debris easily excavated with ease. The ground was terrible shale. The meteor's impact churned up iron from the crust.
Rufus Shinra, a well to do business man paces the rim of the crater.
Rufus " Exactly how many pockets of gas are we expecting? "
A young Reeve responds:" 30, at least sir. Our team trains for that many, were actually only expecting somewhere around 14-18."
"The machines are designed to withstand up to 2 pockets at once"
The team managed the excavate around 160 meters. They encountered an Iron layer.
Dialing the wrong #
Part 2 Sub Chapter 2 ( optional )
Professor Ghast showing an experiment of magnets.
Reeve was among the attendance.
Ghast:"Observe the things we can do with magnets."
The group moves in closer Rufus Shinra and Reeve in front.
There was a flake of Mako on the table contained in a dark liquid of a test beaker. On either side of it was a small machine.
The magnetic energy frequency increased. It became a polarized lifeflake.
With special glasses, Reeve moves closer to observe the reactions.
"Aside the light, there is a ripple on the surface"
Increasing power created more intricate patterns.
Fast forward
Rufus Shinra and Reeve Tuesti speaking in the new Shinra tower.
Rufus funded Reeve to design and build Midgar No. 1 Mako Reactor
Rufus Shinra" They will never be able to stop the main vein from opening! Haha no matter what our enemies try. "
( Laughing together ) Rufus: "hahaha nothing can stop us Reeve!
Reeve was left with a last resort choice.
(Avalanche ) or ( Turks ) had( been tricked) or ( been successful ) in the core of the reactor.
He decided that an overcharge of Mako could actually cause the reactor to trip and fail. A casualty Reeve knew would be irreplaceable for Rufus Shinra. He could stop this madness, and if he did nothing...
Flushing Bad Memories...
Part 2 Sub Chapter 3
System Casualty Reports were flooding into the Central Command of the Shinra HQ. This was a terrible event in the Urban Development Department.
The foreign Shinra observation posts were reporting radiation poisoning to local citizens and wild life. In Mideel, Shinra field agents noted the increase in Mako activity. All over the world, the same thing.
The overcharging of the system effectively over worked the components of the Mako reactors causing a failure. It would be a few years before it could be restored to operating conditions.
Consequentially the overcharge might have freed whatever was in the way at the Northern Crater. It was determined the reason they could not punch threw was because there was something on the other side...
In the center of all reports and information is the constructor.
Newly promoted department head of Urban Development Department Reeve.

Destination Paradise
( Story )
Wutai
The city is dressed in it's festive attire. It is the Festival of the New Year in the Wutai. There are red colored tents and stages. The costumes of the dancers are Red and Green with golden lacing.
Banners and streamers wave in the wind above the tents. All over Wutai the buildings have different decorations. There are blow up dragons on a string. They are floating around in certain areas of the crowds.
The barbeque stand smelled of delicious grill top cooked livestock. Across from the barbeque on a stick stand was the fried sea foods. The fryers crisp and crackled loudly.
The Wutai natives hustled and bustled behind the tents. Keeping up with celebration and laughter.
On the stage the local art school was performing the traditional dragon dances. A variety of deep drums and shamisen ( violin type instrument ) are the heartbeat. Leviathan Scales were dominantly displayed in the middle of the stage in a crystalline glass case.
Godo is foreseeing the festival, making sure the tourist and refugee's are well cared for.
While maintaining the tradition of his, and his people's. The significance of the holiday is to welcome in a new prosperous year and give thanks.
The people of Wutai welcomed their far west neighbors. Many families were misplaced from the devastation of Midgar. Lifestream masted explosion that engulfed Mideel. So many places destroyed. Gaia was still recovering, it was only fit.
The Sun is peaking at its highest point over the mountains. The clouds above open and let the sun in on the fair day. The sun hits the scales and illuminates the stage for a moment. Red colored decorations in the town take on a more vibrant shade of red.
Godo takes delight in seeing the happiness.
Meanwhile...
During a tour of Wutai's Pagoda tower 2 weeks before. Yuffie upset the headmaster by not doing what he told her. He instructed her that she was to provide a community service for the townspeople.
The congregation meeting took place by Yuffie's home. They were tasked to make sure Wutai remained clean.
The children with Yuffie were mostly misfits. Out side the Turtle Paradise Lounge, Yuffie convinced the young kids that she could help them find buried treasure from around Wutai. Naturally they told their friends. Yuffie named them Turtle Gang.
Materia Master Yuffie: " Yes, that's right kiddo's! Your clan leader returns, now what do you have for me?"
Kid 1 : "We don't understand why we have to clean up these places to find treasure.
Kid 2 : "Yeah!"
Kid 3 : "We should be digging!"
Yuffie replies to the crowd: "Digging?! That makes you dirty and sleepy! I know the places where we can find the treasures! We have to do this first. So later, we can access those places to clean! Now go out and clean before we miss our opportunity!"
The kids scattered through out the town. Low and high they cleaned it of any trash or foreign debris.
Yuffie approaches Godo who is in the center place of town.
Godo: "I must say Yuffie, the town is looking very good. I saw that you were able to get some little helpers?"
Yuffie: " Yes that's right! We all decided that the town was becoming littered with trash. They are good group of scamps!"
Godo looks at Yuffie as to say 'hmm'.
Godo: "Good Yuffie, I hope that you understand now that the treasure belongs to the people. As the headmaster there can be no other way. "
Yuffie has no choice but to listen.
Godo: "When are we expecting your friends? The spiky haired one I think?"
Yuffie: " Who Cloud? Waaa-ha, who knows what he is doing. I talked with Tifa, Barret, Nanaki."
"Tifa said that she was bringing Cloud, Denzel and Marlene."
"Barret said that Cid and Reeve are also coming. And that they are also bringing new friends."
"Nanaki is coming too!"
Godo: " Good, good. Make sure you bring them to the Pagoda OK?"
Yuffie: " Yes Sir!"
Godo: " And Yuffie.."
Yuffie: " What?"
Godo: " Clean up around home, it's a mess."
Yuffie: "Ughh, whatever Gramps!"
End Scene
"The treasure is mine!! I was the one who found it anyway" ( throwing rice )
"I will have it back one way or the other nyuck nyuck nyuck"
Cargo Deck of Shera II
The Shera II luxury was not over looked. The conference room was big enough to hold 20 people, comfortably.
There is much excitement in the air. Everyone is onboard. Marlene, Tifa and Denzel were talking about their last time they had a vacation.
This was something very new for Denzel. The last vacation was fun and nice, but this one meant more. He was getting to go places he has never really been for. Everything was OK though. Because he was just happy to be with Cloud and his friends.
Tifa: " Has it really been that long Marlene?"
Marlene: " Yea! I was really small! I think this one is going to be much funner Tifa!"
Tifa: " That's right, I know you will love it there."
Marlene: "What do you think Denzel?"
Denzel: "I want to go and see the mountain there!"
Marlene: "Yes me too, me too!"
Marlene:" But is it dangerous there?"
Cloud: "Not anymore. We just need to be careful not to injure ourselves."
Denzel: " Is that why you brought Choco, Cloud? "
Cloud: " Yes. As well as getting him out to stretch his legs."
Marlene: " Good thinking!"
Cid voice suddenly comes over the announcement system of the airship.
Cid: "Attention all hands, the ship is landing in 35 minutes, make preparations!"
Cloud: " Let's go see Choco together before we land."
Denzel and Marlene: " Yeaa!!"
Cloud, Marlene and Denzel make their way to the door of the conference room. They are headed to the inner cargo deck. Where the Chocobo Stable is.
Before exiting the room, Marlene turns to Tifa.
Marlene: " Are you coming with us too, Tifa?"
Tifa: " I will stay here, I need to talk with our friends before we land."
Marlene:" OK"
Marlene quickly turns around. With a hop and skip in her step, she exits the room. She was really happy because her Dad bought her a new dress to wear. It was her favorite color too.
Tifa: "So Violet, Barret told me that you lived in Sector 5?"
Violet: "That's right sugar. I moved out of Sector 4 a few years before The Collapse."
Tifa:" Did you like staying in Sector 5?"
Violet: "The food was ok, but it sure was a strange place!"
Barret: "S#!&, you can say that again."
Everyone except Reiss laughs a little
Tifa:"It's true!"
Violet:" I do remember some good folk there."
Barret: "Yo Reiss, you said you grew up in the Corel Desert?
Reiss:" Yeah, my brothers and I left when I was only 16."
Barret: " Have you ever been to Cosmo Canyon? It ain't to far from there."
Reiss: "We almost did one time, but things changed."
He gestures a waving thumbs up indicating the meteor fall.
Nanaki:" If you should decide that you would like to go there, please let me know."
Barret:" Nanaki here is the Guardian of Cosmo Canyon. He knows every in and out of Cosmo Canyon."
Reiss:" Ok, thanks then. I will have to plan it out."
The Chocobo Stable was located exactly center line of the airship's keel. It could house up to 5 Golden Chocobo. The Golden Chocobo's were always more energetic than any of it's other relatives. They needed additional space to move around.
Denzel: "Cloud, why are the Golden Chocobo special?"
Cloud:" Well mostly because he can choose to go anywhere in the world he wants."
Marlene:" But why can't the other Chocobo do the same thing?"
Cloud: "It's what makes him special. He and his parents decided that they would be able to enjoy the fruits of the world. It is their determination to be the best."
Choco: " Wark!"
King and Queen of the Moonlight
She is too far out of reach for him. He can feel the grip of the darkness pulling him back.
Vincent: "Lu.....LUCRECIA!!!"
Vincent collapses to his knees. The sorrow is crippling for Vincent. His face plants to his hands in dismay. The darkness is closing in the dreamscape. Energy from the void can be felt measured in pounds per square inch on the vessel.
Vincent:" What about HER PAIN AND SORROW."
"IF NOT FOR ME...KSK...GGGAAAA AHHH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
The transformation was in progress. Chaos is starting the take over.
Vincent closes his eye's. The pressure shifting. And then the scar. The burning pain, each and every time Vincent and Chaos bonded. The land scape was returning. The place where Vincent and Lucrecia would meet was getting closer.
A final choke of the vessel. Darkness is preventing him from her...
An unnatural fiery explosion occurs as the transformation is complete.
Chaos:"HAHAHA Where are you fiend?!"
Chaos now standing facing the darkness. The light behind his back. Chaos can see better with his mind's eye. In the darkness there is a foreboding shadow that is centralized. He could see it's rough edges amidst the weary darkness.
Cargo Deck Of Shera II
Violet and Reiss were making their way out to the air deck. They wanted to see the city coming in.
The last 6 months have been really difficult for Reiss. The explosion took his brother Bastion. The event plagues him ill. It was Violet and Barret that have been keeping him from being rash.
Tifa, Barret, Nanaki are talking in the conference room.
In her most soothing tone; Tifa:"I know how you are feeling right now. It's not true though. No matter what we could have done differently. Life...will always have it's way."
Barret:"Thank my lucky stars for you, Tifa"
Tifa: "There is something important we need to talk about. I'm afraid it's not safe to discuss it here."
King and Queen of the Moonlight
The patterns edge is not constant.
With a ferocious stance, Chaos begins to raise his arms. His body entrenched with a crimson aura. Energy is visible emanating from the vessel. Like heat escaping from a window.
Chaos:"You pose as the shadow, cowardice! Only PAIN awaits you...HAHAHAHA!"
Trembling with raw energy, the vessel focuses. A concavity of energy releases from it's shoulder into the moon lit sky. The vessel opened it's eyes and released a horrid roar. It lunged at the darkness, it clinched the memories in his hand.
Chaos dropped a bomb of energy on the area that shifted. It caused a ripple on the fabric of their plane. The crimson purple energy that resignated in the blast zone. It was sucked into the void of darkness.
In the depth's Chaos saw two red eyes,
A voice, a whisper. It skipped higher tone notes. Sounded like it had been dredged through the mud.
"Your memories are meaningless. Everything you are is because of my bidding."
Now bear witness to the Dream Devastator. I will continue to take pleasure in your remorse. I am the upheaval, the Alpha. Obsidian Malice. My will can not be stopped.

( who the hell is that? stay tuned )
And then there was only darkness, the burning pain subsiding.
Vincent free thoughts" I am not ready yet."
The sensation of mutual understanding came from with in the vessel.
Chaos:"I am not ready yet...Yet I see you now."
A high pitch frequency is heard, it grows until it is deafening.
**( This is where I intend show the evolution of the Lifestream. How the past, present, and future exists at one point. Similar to Cloud connecting with Zack and Aerith )**
Destination Paradise
Just outside Wutai.
The Shera II is touched down. The deck hands are securing the ship to the ground.
A big welcome party is waiting for their heralded guests. Full dress dancers had the crowds following them. The airship is parked directly at the furthest point of the dancing parade.
The decorative lanterns are the first thing Denzel notices about Wutai. Not to mention the big tower and mountain. He saw them kilometers away.
The Party is leaving the brow of the airship.
Reeve: "Everything look's great."
Cid: "Now you don't see that every day."
The sun is setting behind the mountains.
Barret:" Whoa, what a sight for sore eyes."
Tifa:" Great!"
Nanaki:"Oh my..."
Darting through the crowds of people there is a flash. It's kind of all over the place.
Then Yuffie appears at the bottom of the stairs to greet her friends.
Yuffie: "Hi guys! Long time no see! Welcome to the Lantern Festival! You made it in perfect timing. The Art School is going to be displaying the grand finale tonight!"
Cloud: "We are all honored for the invitation."
( It's been a while since I have been the Actual Lantern Festival in Japan. By the way, I have a good idea about Japan and Wutai. I have been to those Cliffs, rested my head there on the White Beaches. Kicked back a few with friends. We stormed the black beaches with our dragons. Each and every time the dragons would hit the beach, it would knock the wind out of them. We were the ones who put them back together. It was on our shoulders that the Dragons flew. )
Yuffie: " Here is your Program."
21:00 ( 9pm )--- Fireworks
20:00 ( 8pm )--- Headmaster's Blessing's
19:45 ( 7:45 )--- Dawn of the Lanterns
17:30 ( 5:30pm )--- Feast of the Dragon
10:45--- Dragon's Roost Summit
08:00 --- Pagoda Celebration / Paradise Breakfast
--For all intensive purposes I will be coming back to this part. Or you can post a quick reply, for a scene you think would work. I was thinking maybe something like Denzel and Marlene interacting with the Turtle Gang. For now, I will cut to the chase.
( wake up Chrono )
Deep in the Wutai Mountain, inside a Materia Cove
Godo has directed Yuffie and the Party to a growing concern in the planet.
Godo:" You see this Materia was not this color before. I do not know what to make of it."
"It's used to hold the color of the mountain flame."
Nestled in a bosom of vines is a large piece of condensed Materia. The fountain of light around contained whispers of Ancient knowledge. The color mixes from bright flames to a daunting Auburn color.
Cloud:" Hmm, I remember the heat of the fires in the mountain caverns of this place. So hot were the flames."
Yuffie:" Yeah, but we never came to this place!"
Godo:" This fountain is the light of hope for our people. Yuffie, I did not intend to share this information with you this way. I am afraid that the Planet might be fighting for it's life again."
Cid:" Where are all the damn monsters then?"
Godo:"An excellent point, our lands remain free of evil."
Barret: "What's to worry about? That headless freak Jenova ain't been seen or heard from since we took it out."
Godo:"The last time something like this occurred was before the Great War."
Reeve: "There are subtle nuances that make me inclined to follow you Godo. I think there might be some bigger answer to this mystery we are not yet aware of."
Everyone immediately looks to Reeve. He is well known for his public speaking skills. He can illustrate his words and ideas with his hands.
Reeve:"Indeed though, reports of Mako fluctuation have been coming in over the past several months. They are nothing to worry over. The WRO is dedicated to be prepared for anything. We directly monitor the levels of toxicity in affected area's."
Barret:" I don't know, that sounds like something awful familiar."
Tifa: "What's going on Reeve, do you know something we don't?"
Reeve:" You can trust me when I say we have no more affiliation with them than we did 3 years ago. It's even less now."
Cloud:" It is the Planet's choice. It does not pick and choose it's battles. Faith, is our biggest weapon...we all know this. "
King and Queen of the Moonlight
Vincent came too from the deafening tone. The burning pain has gone. He was dressed back in his old uniform.
Vincent:" Ugh..what happened? Where am I?"'
A slightly familiar voice echoes out to him.
"More importantly; When are you?"
Vincent:"What kind of foul magic is this?"
Voice:"I realized that the battles you fight are the same as mine."
"140 years had passed since the Calamity from the sky fell. We were prosperous, but blind of the festering. The Shards were no longer with us, they were transported after the Crisis."
"These are my memories, that live on threw you."
Vincent:" What, just who are you?"
"I am you, Chaos is our vessel. I am of the Cetra. My name is Etherial, and it is best you not forget it."
An apparition appeared and focused. The silhouette of Cetra became visible on the landscape with Vincent.
Etherial:" My best friend was Jaffe. He was the strongest of our kind. He proved himself best during the war against the Calamity. After the War ended there was peace. Jaffe was the best Warrior because his mind was the sharpest. He knew it was this way. He became blinded by his own ambitions. The corruption occurred in the Ancient city of Clandestine. It was on the furthest boarders of our Kingdom. Beyond was the lands of the young human race."
Etherial:" The Creature took form of the most beautiful Human Woman the Planet had known. "
( Decisions, decisions...So I know what happens next. But, I think we will come back here later. What do you think? )

Loveless
Evolve-less?
Prologue (Poem)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting
When the wars bring about the ends. Jenova will appear. Her influence will overwhelm all. The gift of fear is everlasting
The Build up of FF7 and FF7 Crisis Core / My story will reflect an ancient Aspect
Act I (Poem)
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.
(Her beauty alienated. We seek it's approval. The creature will continue to destroy worlds. )
Act II (Poem)
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
( Dear Aerith, there is only hope. For you are also loved by Jenova )
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
( No matter what you do, I will always triumph. The end is near )
Act III (Poem)
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
( You seek to ascend to save this place? A place where you ( Cetra, the Ancients ) and I are hated by them. (( humans )) But, alas. )
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
( With out destruction, there can not be creation )
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
( Even if the future seems to be in your hands, I shall return )
Act IV (Poem)
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left, the bow of the goddess
( Dear Cloud and Zack, twisted by my will. No honor remains, you can not Embrace your Dreams" )
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
( By Sephiroth's hand I will guide you. To save myself. From this eternal sleep. )
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely
( And HE will make the sacrifice, at the worlds end. )
Sephiroth / And ?? in FF7

(I am going this way because Denzel was also an orphan. The gift of the goddess approves. To perpetuate the cycle )
Act V (Poem)
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice
( Even if the future seems to be in your hands. I shall return. To become the lifestream and the planet. I seek the 3 shards. I offer this silent sacrifice to perpetuate the cycle of fear. )

Denzel:"The shows were awesome! I especially liked the swordsmanship tradition one."
Reeve:" Have you been training with the new swordstick Denzel?"
Denzel looks to Cloud;
Denzel:"Not yet, but I can't wait to try it."
Cloud:"You got it, we can try it when we get back."
Cloud:"OK everyone. Let's meet back up in a week. Our Destination is Wutai Make sure you are available.

Cloud:"Just be ready for anything."
Nanaki:" Ok Cloud, I will look into this matter. The caves life has been since returning. In places, stones light is Returning."
Cloud:" When did you notice this?"
Nanaki:"Well...I must say it lay unbeknownst to me. I happen to 'stumble upon it'. That's not it, there is another secret that sleeps there."
Cloud:"You are going to have to show me what you are talking about?"
Nanaki:"Ok. Although it must be only when the time is appropriate."
Cloud:"Ok, keep your phs ( cell phone ) on."
Nanaki:"Yes I will."

Reeve:"So Cloud, what do you think?

Cid:" Shoot, we might as well just dig in now."
Cloud:"Does everyone remember the night before?"
Tifa:" Yes, I remember it well."
Barret:"You bet yer spiky #$%, that was when she became my life."
Cid:" What are you getting at?"
Tifa:"She did not wait, she went to that place."
Cloud:"Times are changing, our climate reflects it."
"I can feel it in the planet. Can't you feel it as well Tifa?"
Avoiding eye contact;
Tifa:"I don't know what to make of it either..."
Barret:" So what do we do next?"
Cloud:" Find those memories again"
Cid:"@#$%, what about the others?"
Cloud:"Well, we need to wake up Vincent soon. Godo said he has not seen happenings of this sort since the Great War."
"We need to be vigilant for signs from the past I think. Stay aware of your surroundings. Be ready for anything."
Cid:"I'll see what I can do about Vincent."
Cloud:"Let me know if anyone hears from the Turks."
The Drift
Cloud:"So you want to save the world?"
"You must focus on the keyhole of opportunity"
"Do you see that stick there on the ground?"
Denzel looks over on the ground ahead. It's there.
Deznel:"Yes."
Cloud:"Go ahead and pick it up. Try and hit me with it if you can."
Denzel:"OK."
Denzel picks up the stick and looks at it. He lifts his head up and looks at Cloud.
Denzel;"Hyaaahhh."
Over and over again, he missed. He became exhausted and angry because every advance was a miss. He throws down the stick in frustration.
Denzel:"I can't do this, even with this lousy stick."
Cloud:"Here are your first two lessons."
"1. That stick has just as much life in it as you do. You must make it apart of you, an extension of yourself."
"2. And remember always. Protect your honor and Embrace your dreams.
Denzel picks up the stick, Cloud reaches out to him.
Cloud:"Now show me, how far will you go?"
Denzel looks at the stick in his hand.
Denzel's father:"Did you remember to bring your school work home?"
He grips the bottom of the stick with two hands.
Denzel:"Everything."
Denzel takes his first stance. The wind picks up for a second.
Denzel:"Grrryaaaaaa"
Cloud immediately noticed the influence of his eyes.
With each miss, Cloud watched Denzel tune his abilities.
( I want Character Tuning to be an important role in this video game. Because i think the concept is going to important when we get back to left field. )
Cloud" Where is your passion?!"
Life is good
Reeve:"It's about time, now where are those reports?"
WRO Courier:"Here sir, as requested the Genesis reports."

Marlene:"Not yet Papa, I'm not sure if she want's me to actually use it."
Barret:"And that's just fine. Continue your studies with her darling."
"One day you are going to grow up into a wonderful, smart woman. Never forget how you got to where you are in life. Always take care of your friends."
Marlene is so happy to hear the words.
Aerith is speaking with a very young child named Marlene. The Turks are hot on Aerith's tale.
Aerith:"Don't worry about your Papa, he will be just fine. He has his friends too."
Marlene:"What do you mean?
Aerith:"One day you are going grow up to be a smart, wonderful girl. You will understand. Always be there for your friends!"
Marlene:" I think I understand Papa!"
Cosmo Canyon
Nanaki: "It's best not to disturb him."
Nibelheim
Cid is entering the spiral stair case into the Shinra basement.
Cid: "Damn place gives me the creeps. All's I ever wanted is a ticket into space."
He takes out the key that Cloud gave to him. The lock is really old and the click is more like a creek.
Cid:"OK, now which one of these is he in?"
Several coffins are in front of him.
The drift
Cloud returning from Midgar area, undiscovered Shinra Facility.
Cloud:"I have no idea what this black shard is. It's really sharp though."
The shard is about 2-3 times bigger than black materia.
The PHS cell phone rings. It's Cid.
Cid:"He's not here!"
Cloud:" What do you mean he's not there?"
Cid:"Like all the #$%$%# are empty. What else could that mean!"
Cloud:"Did you check the rest of the mansion? He also might just be in the area."
Cid:"I will look around on my way out. I need to get away from this @#$$% place."
Cloud:"OK, I'll call the others to let them know to get ready. See you soon,"
Destination Paradise
Inside Turtle Paradise lounge
Reno:"That's when Rude said 'were on'. Here I am on vacation in Costa Del Sol the last thing I am thinking about is getting out of the beach chair!"
"All for what? Because some stone is changing colors? That's what they do!"
Rude:"I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't think it was official."
Reno:"C'mon buddy, I smell a farce."
Rude looks at Reno in disbelief.
Cid walks in wiping the oil and dirt from his hands.
Cid:"She's ready for the long haul. Got the cold weather plating installed on the skin of the ship."
"We don't want the Shera II's line's freezing up in that cold #$% weather."
Cloud:"OK let's get this over with."
Cid is walking to the empty area on the outside. The next table over from the empty sat 2 familiar Turks.
Cid:" Well I'll be damned, I thought you boy's clocked out a while ago!"
Reno throws up signature a one hand, few finger salute.
Reno:" Good to see you too old man."
Cid:"Welcome back from the dead!"
Godo:"Let's begin everyone."
Godo:"What has been learned since last meeting?"
Reeve:" After thorough readings over both War Reports and the Genesis Reports."
"I've found that my initial guess is correct. There is evidence of increased Mako activity. The idea is perplexing to me because there are no Mako Reactors currently online...To my knowledge."
Reeve looks to the Turks.
Reno:"No way, now how."
Reeve:"Then the answer must still be out there. It is curious though, there are references to the return of Soldier 1st Class Genesis."
Cloud:"Genesis?!"
Reeve:"Yes, he was one time Sephiroth's friend and comrade."
"Do you remember him Cloud?"
Cloud:"It...is still difficult to remember."
Everyone gives Cloud a second.
Reeve:"It's ok Cloud, we know."
The Drift
Genesis:
"When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting"
Do you sense her Cloud? She is waiting for you to come home.
No thanks, I will find her on my own.
"Hmph, all you are is a Puppet Cloud"
'Stay where you belong'
Desitnation Paradise
Tifa:"Cloud come back!"
Cloud exhales,"Huuuuh.."
Reeve and Barret hold him up.
Barret:"Yer still full of all types #%@$% surprises"
Reeve:"Sit him down"
Tifa:"Cloud are you ok?"
Cloud:"Tifa, yes I am fine. I'm sorry about that."
Yuffie:"Jeeeez Cloud you scared us!"
Godo:"Should we not be worried?"
Cloud:"No, everything is where it belongs."
Nanaki:"Cloud, there is something I must share with you."
Cloud:"What is it?"
Nanaki:"It's Vincent."
Chaos Beckons
After not knowing what to make of his new nightmares, he travel's to find answers. His travel's eventually take him to places and caves long forgotten. Searching for signs of anything. The pain of his nightmares are reaching their threshold. Seeking to align himself with the stars, fixed on going to the battlefield of the ancient depths.
Vincent:"Hello old friend."
Nanaki:"Vincent?! What a surprise."
Vincent is blended in on top of a boulder. The Red sun at his back.
Nanaki:"What brings you here?"
Vincent:"Fate, it seem's."
Vincent present's a very old spear head.
Nanaki:"Where did you find that Vincent?"
Vincent:"The Ancient Jungle."
Elbow extended, his thumb points back.
Vincent:"With your permission, may I visit those caves?"
Nanaki has grown twice as wise since the beginning. He knows all to well, that usually Vincent does not bring good news.
Nanaki:"What would grandfather say?"
Destination Paradise
Nanaki:"I told him Yes, that I would help him. He asked me not to wake him up "unless there is a Crisis".
"I indeed tried to wake him up to be here. I'm afraid that my attempts were no good...His sleep is too deep."
Cloud:"We must wake him up. His dreams are no longer safe."
Tifa:"What DO you mean Cloud?"
Cloud:'His memories belong in the mansion. Because it must sleep there."
"Something must be wrong with Vincent..."
Tifa:"That's why there was a key..."
Yuffie:"Ohh no Vincent! We have to get him and make sure he is alright!"
Nanaki:"I agree."
Cloud turns to Cid
Cloud:"Let's adjust the course, we need to go to Cosmo Canyon first."
Cid:"!@#$% it all, I'm going going gone!"
Cid:"Just point me in the direction."
Reno:"Not a bad show."
A Race to the Finish
( Breath Air into your idea )
Violet:" Is this your first time here?"
Reiss:" Yes. We never really went around to much."
"Even more so after Jax left."
Violet:" Was Jax your oldest Brother?"
Reiss responds: "Yea" with a disappointed look on his face,
Reiss:"It doesn't really matter, that's just how it's always been. Jax raised us until I was about 16. We never really knew our father either. We just heard he was always in and out of Corel Prison."
Everything is Golden.
The blue colored rope-car had just past threw the mouth of the over sized Cerulean-type Moogle. ( Hah! )
Violet:"Hey Reiss, would ya look at that!"
There were so many color's and fireworks everywhere. It is a smorgasbord of light. A dancing twitter fluttered an ambient soft white, keeping up with it is slightly tiring to the eye!
Reiss could feel and hear the rumbling of talons in a sprint. He didn't notice until he turned around.
Reiss:"Chocobo's!"
Announcer:" And Timothy takes the lead! Sammy following close. But wait who is this?? He's gaining--
The rollar coaster's thunderous descent roared past them.
Violet:" Wow..."
Reiss and Violet are exiting the rope train.
Violet:"Shux, I hope the prices haven't changed."
Gold Saucer Greeter:" Welcome to Gold Saucer!"

Woe is Me
A poem of struggle in the Ancient past
Protector of the breath of life.
To be more than just the rib eye of desire.
A fixed point of amusement for a broken idea.
You say the words of fortitude, and bring only servitude.
A slave to your idea's, no longer shall i be.
For I remain in silence
Woe is Me
