Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wydda rifled through the files which she had copied from the shinra mansion possibly from Hojo's personal files. "Here, this had some of the most recent projects of Hojo, You may very well find what you are looking for here." She handed him a folder while she continued to look through the files.

She stopped to look through another file titled 'The Jenova Project'. Wydda sat and read about the comeing of Jenova and the battles and of course Jenova's end. She also read about Jenova cells being injected into people, as were the side effects. This part in particular had caught her eye. 'The side effects which we are aware of are: Mutation, erratic behaviour, voices, distorted vision.

She set the book down and looked at Nekro to see if he had found anything.

Nekro took the files out of Wydda's hands and began to skim through them. It seemed to be information about experiments that Hojo had done in the past. They all seemed to be unnatural, but he didn't understand. Hojo surely couldn't have done this to him. He remembers that day clearly.

--- Flashback ---

"Master Hojo.... Why do I look like this?" Nekro said as he was laying on the examination table, for his check up.

"Oh, well this is how you were born. You see, you are a special child. You have been born with a great strength. You were born as a natural killer, but because you were given this gift, you also had your looks taken away from you." Hojo smiled as he prepared a vile of the red chemical, that he injected into Nekro once every month.

"Is that also why I've been seeing all these vision, and the hearing the word 'Sephiroth'?" Nekro looked at Hojo quizically.

"Yes, you see Sephiroth was your brother. He is dead now, but you must live on and become as great as he was. He was also a killer, now you must take his role." Hojo injected the chemical into Nekro. He didn't feel anything although he knew that it somehow help him.

"I still don't understand, it feels as though I don't belong here..." Nekro watched the syringe being pulled out of his arm.

"Of course you belong here! Now, I want you to go and get some rest, that shot should put some strain on your brain." Hojo put away the vile and opened the door for Nekro. Although Nekro was still at a loss, he learned to believe what Hojo had told him. He felt that Hojo was the only one that actually had cared for him when he awoke. Everyone else just looked at him in fear. He got up and said.

"Thank you master Hojo, I will go rest now..."

--- End ---

"No...These can't be Hojo's work. He wouldn't hurt people like this. I've known him for two months now and he hasn't done anything that would inflict damage on me..." Nekro handed the files back to Wydda. Suddenly a pain surged into his head. This time it was incredibly painful. The word 'Sephiroth' was yelled inside his head over and over again. He fell to his knees clutching his head and gasping for air. The files scattered all over the floor. He couldn't resist anymore. It was as if it told him to say the word. He began yelling.

"SEPHIROTH! SEPHIROTH! Ahhhhh!"

The red liquid began to pour out of his eye once again. He continued to yell out the same word over and over again. He finally fell to the floor not being able to hold himself up. Weakness had totally corrupted his whole body but the word and the picture of the man continued to flash, none stop.

Axel continued on his way to Corel. He was preparing for the burning by adding a fire materia to his sword. This way, he could launch fire at the town without having to use matches or bombs.

Deehe sat in the black car that was driving him back to the Shinra building, his flight had gotten in early and Deehe was lucky enough to leave the airport as the car arrived. He flipped through the files trying to think of what he was going to say, he would have to talk to Wydda before he issued a final report, but he was not concerned about that. He was concerned by the thought that Shinra probably knew what he and Wydda had found in the Shinra Mansion basement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The car pulled up in front of the Shinra building and Deehe was worried about the reception he was getting, three men in suits waited outside the main ********" Deehe said under his breath
He stepped out of the car, the cool night air hit him like a brick and his head started spinning.
Must go...reunion. Jenova, Sephiroth, Return to the Planet
Deehe's vision swam as the voice started coming faster and louder the it all went black and he felt the ground underneath him.

Sanae had left Izzy's side to go and find out who the current leader was of the neoturks. She had been waiting for Izzy to wake up four quite awhile now, but the she still lacked some actioin. She thought as she now walked down the halls of the Shinra building.

Wydda decided to take the stairs down to the first floor. <.........After the mission in Wutai I am curious now to know what we will be doing next as an assignment.> After a long walk down the stairs she reached the Lobby where two people were talking about someone. The women at the counter talking to the secretary seemed to becoming irrated by the secretarys incompetance.

Three men dressed in black stood outside shinra's doors. It peeked Sanae's curiousity. She thought but didnt think too much of it, she disregarded it and continued to move towards the counter, as she did she heard her name.

"Excuse me." Asked Sanae as she approached the women. "I am Sanae, I heard you two talking. Is there something you whish to talk about?" She looked at the secretary who had lowered her eyes to the computer screen.

"Ugh..." Nekro grasped his head, for it still was in minor pain. He smiled a bit although it could not be seen.

"You seem sure of yourself..." He said lightly. He sat on the side of the bed at took his hand of his face. Noticing there was that same red liquid on his hand.

"The red liquid..." He muttered. Wydda reached for the table as she said something about 'red cells'. She gathered a folder and handed it to Nekro. Nekro looked through the file, noticing more grotesk (sp?) mutations, the word JENOVA, and Hojo's name.

"What exactly is Jenova..." He asked Wydda, hoping she would have an answer to his strange visions. He continued to look through the many photographs and experiment papers. He saw more information on how these mutations began to react after their 'treatment'. It said that some would see hallusinations, hear voices, gain abnormal powers, for instance one man was able to transform his body into another creature. On one of the papers he saw the word 'Sephiroth'. His eyes went wide, and he began to read about him. The information was short but it stated that Sephiroth was treated with these 'Jenova cells' at birth, and that he was the ultimate experiment.

Nekro was now almost sure that he was one of these creations, but he still didn't understand why Hojo would lie to him. He began to wonder how many more of these creatures exist. His thoughts were interupted by Wydda's voice. He shook of the thought and answered.

"I don't totally remember, although Hojo was in it, and so was this red liquid." Nekro stretched out his hand which was covered in the red liquid which came out of his eye.

"Yes, I would like to speak with Hojo myself...I have many questions I need to ask him..." Nekro got of the bed, threw the file on the table and grabbed his katana which neatly standing against the corner of the bed.

"Why exactly are we going to do that? Burn coral I mean." Sanae asked as she leaned up against the large glass window of the elevator. "........" Sanae straightened her black Turk uniform once again. She had always wanted to look her best expecially when she was about to go on a mission.

She continued to look out the window into the dark streets of Midgar watching the ignorant masses go about their lives with nothing but a clue to as what Shinra and other organizations have been planning. Sanae awaited a reply from Tinkeu.
