I can see your face, it is lifeless, eyes darkened from death.

My blood pours out onto the streets of Midgar..I think to myself...

"Does it have to end like this? Killed in cold blood over a small stone?

No.........I will not let it end like this. I shall return to the world.

I shall avenge us both, my love......"


The graves within the church in the slums have been seen by many, and mourned over by some. Many people believe that when one dies, they are lost forever, that only memories are left. But the truth is that when someone dies, their body returns to the planet, and their soul enters the lifestream, waiting to be born as someone or something else. But sometimes, a soul can't rest. Sometimes, the anger within that soul can bring it back to set things right.

-the philosopher of the ancients, died in Midgar, month of the new moon


Reno strolled casually through the slums of Midgar. He gazed up at the steel girders blocking the sky. "I remember this part of town", he thought to himself, strolling into the wall market, "this is the place I went through to get to Corneo's mansion." He smirked, putting his hands in his pockets. "I can still hear that stupid laugh of his..", Reno did a bad impersonation of Corneo, chuckling vulgarly.

That's a bad impersonation", a voice said, loading a fresh clip into a gun, "but i'll give you credit for trying." Reno slowly turned round to face his enemy, pulling out his electro-mag rod. "Well you can't blame me", Reno said coolly, "I didn't know the perverted little fat-a** that well. Killing him was just my job."

A young man with a black blindfold around his eyes stepped forward and out of the shadows. "So you're saying that killing me was 'just your job'?" the man asked, raising his peacekeeper to Reno's forehead, "it's a real shame you listened to Tseng when he told you to get rid of me. You should've known I would get revenge somehow." Reno's eyes widened. "Akuji?" Reno backed away from the man, "b-but you're....", Reno stuttered, starting to shake, "you're dead..." The sound of a gunshot rang through the slums of Midgar. Blood began to pour out onto the streets, painting the road in a sea of crimson. Akuji calmly strolled across the street to the painted wall, where a long wire seemed to reach up to the heavens. Akuji looked at the seemingly endless distance above him. "And so it begins...", Akuji thought to himself as he began the difficult climb to the top.
