 Cloud, Kunsel, Barret, Nanaki, and Tifa were led up the stairs to President Shinra's office and forced to stand in front of his desk with their hands tied behind their backs. "Damn, you guys got caught too," Cloud said looking around, "Where're the girls!?"

"They're in a safe place. They're the last surviving Ancients... Don't you know? They called themselves the Cetra, and lived thousands of years ago. Now they are just a forgotten page in history."

"Cetra... Those girls, are really survivors of the Cetra?" Nanaki asked in disbelief.

"Cetra or the Ancients, whatever you want to call them. They will show us to the Promised Land, I'm expecting a lot out of them."

"The Promised Land? Isn't that just a legend?" he asked.

"Even so, it's just too appealing to not pursue. It's been said the Promised Land is very fertile. If the land is fertile..."

"Then there's gotta be Mako!" Barret spat.

Shinra explained his plans for multiplying his riches, by sucking out the life energy off the planet, and using the spirit of the planet as fuel for his machines and greed. "Well that is all for our meeting."

Rude ran up and shoved them out "Come on, outta his way!" Barret though was having none of this and got into Shinra's facing making himself have to be forcibly removed.

They were led down to prison cells on floor 67, and shoved inside. After the guards were out of hearing range someone called to them, "Cloud! Everyone! You okay?"

"Hollie! Daisey! Are you okay? Where's Aerith and Zack?" Cloud asked.

"Right here," Aerith said.

"You remembered me buddy!! I'm so happy!!" Zack said cheerfully.

"Wait! Zack's here!? Where is he?" Kunsel asked.

"Tell Kunsel I'm the mog please Aerith," Zack said.

"Zack's a mog now," Aerith told him.

"What???" he asked confused "What do you mean?"

"He said the Goddess sent him back as a mog to help us," Daisey explained. "A lot's going to happen and apparently we needed his help, but his body was already lost."

"Wait, so the mog used to be a human??" Tifa asked confused.

"Yeah."

"W---wait... S---so Zack died and the Goddess sent him back as a mog??"

"Yeah," she said.

"This---this is way to weird..."

"It's true Kunsel," Aerith said, "Trust me."

"A---alright..."

"You group of humans are becoming even more interesting..." Nanaki commented.

Barret talked about Mako, Shinra, and the Promised Land, ending it with, "I'm recruitin' new members! There's Me, Biggs, Wedge, Jesse, Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith too! How 'bout you four?"

"Why does everyone always ignore me?" Zack moped Aerith giggled in response.

"I'll join!" Hollie said.

"Me too!" Daisey agreed.

"No way!" Cloud said, "We got your sister Daisey, and as soon as we bust outta here, we're taking you two back home, it's too dangerous for---!"

"Give it a rest chocobo head," Zack said, "The Goddess told me they had to come with us."

"Stop calling me chocobo head!" Cloud said angrily.
