Authors Note: This is my first shot at writing a fanfic, thats why its short. Its going to 
have other chapters to follow. Email me at m1@stevenson.ms. Tell me what you think be 
brutal







	A form stood, in what seemed to be a castle in the stars. A man stood in that 
castle he had long golden hair that reached his upper back, his eyes were a diamond blue, 
he had a muscular yet lean appearance, he wore an outfit that looked like he was a 
general with a white cape over his shoulders. He looked upon the planets of the universe, 
he was a cocky man very confident with a kings demeanor. He saw the beings living on 
these planets as being beneath him, his eye caught two certain planets. "Such weak 
creatures these humans" he said in a voice of calmness, his voice wasn't harsh but it was 
powerful it soothed the ear to hear such a voice. His mother stood there behind him, 
looking upon her creation. 
	"They  seem weak but some are actually queit strong, power means nothing 
compared to true love and the human soul." said the woman. She was beautiful, long dark 
hair, the color of night, lovely emerald eyes, her voice was like that of a blue bird singing 
it was lovely, she chose to look this way for she could look anyway she wanted, she 
chose this form because its simple yet beautiful. "My son you must never judge" she said.
	"Mother show me which creature on either of these planets, that is powerful" he 
said in a voice of jest.
	"I will show you two, first allow me to show you Squall Leonhart, a once cold 
hearted young man who cared for nothing. After meeting Rinoa Heartilly he fell in love. 
That love gave him the strength to travel through time and defeat one of the most 
powerful sorceresses of all time."she said with proudness.He turned to look at the planet.
	"Ah yes, I remember, Squall Leonhart I followed that story. Mother he is a 
powerful human but love did not give him the strength to defeat that sorceress." he said 
dismissingly. She then turned his attention to another planet this one larger than the last 
one.
	" The other human who over came all odds is Cloud Strife. He watched his 
hometown be burned to the ground, his mother and family killed, his best friend Tifa 
stabbed and left for dead. He got rid of this enemy and fell in the Mako energy also. The 
Mako then made him confuse his past with someone elses, and the evil madman returned 
controlling him. The madman killed a woman he loved name Aeris. He overcame his 
grief for her and his own insanity to defeat this madman."
	"Yes Cloud proved to be a true hero in the end, he and Leonhart would make 
worhty adversaries, yes. Mother I'll see you later." he said. His mother sensing he was 
upto something .
	"What are you upto my son?" she asked curiosly. He then turn to her looking at 
her with a glint in his eye.
	"I'm going to test your beloved humans, and see how strong they really are."he 
gave a smile as if he'd just won a game.
	" We musn't interfere with mortals lives." she looked intrigued though he saw this 
and began to exploit her curiousity.
	"Mother if they are truly powerful they should be able to win, my little 
endeavour."
	"But you have the advantage, you are stronger than they are."
	"No you have it all wrong, I won't be fighting, my team will, they are also 
somewhat  humans, so what do you say mother."he said with a cunning smile he knew 
she'd fall for it, she could never turn down a challenge.
	"Ok, but who will be your TEAM as you call them?"she had a puzzeled look on 
her face.
	"None other than Sephiroth and Ultemecia, they will be perfect working together 
and I will gather other troops and warriors to join them. Agreed."he said. She took a deep
breath.
	"Alright to make it fair since you have a sorceress and an ancient, Rinoa is a 
sorceress, I need an ancient so I'll bring back to life Aeris agreed?"
	"Ok so you must have a maximumm of twelve warriors mother."
	"Agreed!"
	"Ok, agreed" he said "I'll show you how strong my warriors are and being a mere 
human isn't enough. Goodluck mother."
















Authors Note: To them watching the lives of the cast of  FF7 and FF8 is just a T.V. show. 
And lets just say the son hates happy endings, and no you'll know there names in the 
middle of the story I won't continue calling them mother and son.
