In life every choice has a consequence. For the young mercenary, Celeste Castel, her choice would decide the Planet's fate. When she meets a young man named Cloud Strife, she is asked one of the most hardest questions that will affe...
I release a tired groan, shifting my body uncomfortably on some weird fluffy mattress. My eyes hazily open to see that I'm on the ground and in a glass containment tank. With me slowly regaining my senses, I touch the glass and realize that there's no way to escape from the inside!
"Awake, are we?" a male voice speaks from beside me. I whip my head to the voice to find some dog-like creature with red fur laying next to me.

I study the animal, noticing at the ends of his tail lit with fire. On the front left of his paw, the roman numerals, XIII is branded. I yelp, realizing that the dog-like creature can speak.
"Don't eat me!" I quickly scoot away, in fear that he'll devour me whole. The red dog just rolls his eyes at my actions.
"Is that really how you should be thanking someone who lets you sleep on them?" the red dog scowls. "I could've let you lie on the cold hard ground."

"Hojo!? Did you just say Hojo!?" I rush to Red XIII's side. "Where's that son of a bitch-"
"That son of a bitch is right here, my dear," a man's voice answers from outside the containment tank. Mine and Red XIII's attention turns to a creepy looking man in a lab coat with long black hair wearing a pair of small black lenses.
"You still look magnificent as ever . . ." Professor Hojo slams his hands against the glass causing this pounding sound, which sends chills down my spine.

"H-Hojo . . ." The name slips out of my mouth in fear.
"Ah! Even after all these years you still remember me!" Professor Hojo grins creepily.
"I-I don't know who you are!!" I scream at him, pounding on the glass wall that separates us. "I've never met you in my life!"
"Oh, really?" Hojo's hand falls on his chin. "Could it be a side effect of the mako? Whatever it is, let me formally introduce myself."
