Chapter 1: Reunion with Chaos
"Eat, Alice." The familiar sound of a spoon scraping harshly against the edge of a porcelain bowl and plunging into something foul met the young woman's ears. Once again, a nurse had been made victim to having to feed dinner to one of the most strange and unresponsive patients at Rutledge. She'd heard from the other staff that Alice was quite unpredictable, commonly going from fits of screaming to silently staring at the ceiling. Working in an asylum gave knowledge enough to expect the unexpected.
Thankfully enough, the young woman was much more docile at the moment than her nurse had thought. Alice's eyes rema

It was like being asleep, but not completely. More like that state just before sleep, when the mind is free and floating, without a firm grasp on consciousness, but still aware of its own idling existence. She felt aware of her own presence, but she couldn't feel her body or hear her breathing. She felt enveloped in protection, but heavy; it seemed as though, even if she had eyes to open, they would be too tired to see. Still, it was warm and comfortable as she drifted, hearing a beautiful beating pulse, rhythmic, and life giving. She didn't know who or where she was, but it felt somethin

CHAPTER TWENTYSIX.
Death. Well, it's a lot more peaceful than most give it credit for. The talk about pain and fear fueling you before you die wasn't entirely true. At first, you do feel some regret that there hadn't been anything else you could have done, that you couldn't have told anyone goodbye.
But after awhile everything just fades
You start forgetting things, only remember bits and pieces here and there. Friends family enemies allies all of it just disappearing into the white.......
Confusion. Joy. Anger. Frustration. Love. Friendship. Regret. Sadness.
In death, none of that exists.

CHAPTER TWENTYFIVE.
Tifa turned, but it was an instant too late. "Cloud! What're you doing?!" She tried to run back, but Vincent stopped her, catching onto what Cloud believed needed to be done.
"Make sure no one's in the slums. You've got an hour," Cloud instructed. "And Vincent?"
The black haired male looked up in time to lift his hand and catch the silver bracelet Cloud tossed to him.
"I don't make it? You lead."
It only took Vincent one glance at the bracelet for Vince to toss it back. "Make it back then," he retorted as the door finally shut itself and sealed its prisoners inside.
Cloud slipped the silver object back onto his wrist

CHAPTER TWENTYFOUR.
True enough, Yuffie Cid and Vincent had already arrived by the time Tifa and Cloud arrived. Storm got there just a minute or two after them, Nanaki following close behind; the kid didn't say a word.
At sight of Cloud, Cid pointed to a spot just a few clicks to their right. "Reactor's in Sector 3," he said, "right above the slums."
Above the slums? That seemed like an odd place for them to put the reactor, considering what had happened to Sector 7. Oh well. Considering the terrain and the fact that the rest of the highway was nonexistent, the rest of the distance to the reactor was crossed on foot. It didn't take very lo
