  • Artist Info: Cloud Strife...Ive been called this my whole life. A name to be remembered I used to tell myself. Sitting by the water tower with that beautiful girl...She's been my friend nearly my entire life, and she believed in me as well. Though she knew of my insecurities and quiet nature, she was 100% certain that was something more. But what it was, i don't know. That is why i made the decision to find myself in SOLDIER, The most prestigious military force the planet has ever seen. Sephiroth was the best of the best, my hero. I joined solely to meet that man. I remember Tifa and talking about him. He would visit the village sometimes, The great Sephiroth at the small town of Nibelhiem. It sends chills down my spine knowing he did. I left Nibel around 15 ready to become a SOLDIER and protect my town, my planet and maybe Tifa.<br />
    When i got to Shin-ra it was like nothing I'd ever seen. Lights, wires and pipes covered the establishment. I was so shy around these people, they all knew what they were doing, who they are.I became a gunner and not a very good one.I usually kept my head down except when a man with spikey, black hair pushed my chin up. His name was Fair, Zack Fair. Without realizing it,I became attached to him we would train together, nothing special. Hew told the stories of monsters he fought and types of materia he found. He even let me hold one. Its a mystical orb of colored light that can alter the elemental properties of a weapon or armor. Though are time together always ran short due to missions,I consider Zack my best friend. During the time we met our world was facing a terrifying betrayal from one of our own.<br />
    A 1st class SOLDIER by the name of Genesis went berserk and seemed to have mutated. As it appears the Shin-ra company had a lot of skeletons in their closet. Shin-ra used substance from the planet's core known as mako. To create an engineer artificial human life. All of the 3-1st SOLDIERS were enhanced with it. After the defeat of Genesis, Zack and I, along with Sephiroth went back to my home town of Nibelheim, accompanied by Tifa and her Father we checked out the mako reactor just out side our town. Suddenly the reactor blew up and a door was slammed open Sephiroth, he stood there...with a female head in his hand, He attacked us Tifa and Zack were thrown and he pierced me. I remember thinking that this was the day i would day, but i did not not...a ran into Sephiroth's sword so i could throw him over in to the mako pits below. Me and Zack suddenly became fugitives to Shin-ra and ran from the reactor, but were captured by a Scientist name Hojo. He locked us in a basement at the bottom of the Shin-ra mansion, Located above, Nibelheim, My hometown I never felt so close yet so far from safety in my life. Me and Zack were put in tanks of Mako. We were slowly being altered...to what, i do not really now, the experiment deteriorated my memory, all i remember was Zack and for some reason a room...with a coffin.<br />
    Days went by and I felt my sanity leaving me. My body aching and my mind was nearly lost. The only reason i made it for so long was because of Zack tapping on the glass...<br />
    With my finger i scratched a message on the inside of my tank "Lets get out of here" and we did...though most of it was to Zack's effort, My mind was still hazey from the mako.<br />
    Zack and I tried to hitchhike to midgar, where we would become freelance mercenaries, That was his idea, but shin-ra was on our trail. Zack and I jumped off the truck we were hitching a ride on. He walked away from me. I was blinded by the sun and passed out. Drops of rain woke me up. It was dark and gloomy. <br />
    I crawled to Zack...He was motionless, only his faced seemed to have life in it. He looked at me...half his faced was covered in his own blood. I'll never forget what he said to me. "On my behalf" I did not get it at first."You will"He said,then he put my head to his chest, i heard his heart fading. I never want to hear a noise like that again. <br />
    "You are proof that I existed"<br />
    The blood on my face was warm...The rain provided a bitter-sweet sensation as it hit my face. He dragged his weapon to my hands. He gave me his buster sword, the most coveted weapon a first class SOLDIER can own, and he gave it to me along with his pride and dreams.<br />
    I've only been a MP so i don't know anything about battle. But one thing is for sure...Zack was the last person I've seen to leave with a smile on his face.
