[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The scene fades in with the 15 out in the open looking around.

Squall: There isn’t any patrol groups or soldiers station here

Skise: Something happened

Cloud: We must prepare for anything

Tidus: Keep the look out

Lakeyna: I’m going in

Skise: I’m coming with you

Cloud: I want to take a look inside

Tidus: Wakka and I go inside too

Squall, Irvine’s and Yuna’s group stop in the clear area with the six going inside while the nine prepares for an attack with lightning up the place every other second.

Rikku: There nobody here!

Squall: Keep an eye out

Rikku: Can we take a break, we been out here for several minutes. I bet they are not even here, they just left the ship because they realize they can go in the ground and pop up anywhere.

Paine: Stay focus [taps Rikku in head]

Rikku: Ouch, you’re no fun

Irvine: Am I the only one enjoying himself, three guys, with six good looking females

Irvine walks toward Yuna, Paine, and Rikku.

Yuna: As if

Paine: No way

Rikku: You’re not my type

Squall: Ladies, and Irvine we have a job to do

Quistis: Let’s split up, it gives us a better range of patrolling more grounds

Yuna: We will go south

The Gullwings exit going south

Irvine: My team got the other side

Irvine exits following the three

Zell: He never gives up

Zell exits

Rinoa: Good luck

Selphie: See you soon, hopefully no Shadow Soldiers appear

Selphie exits

Squall: Let’s get started on patrolling this area

Scene blackens and fade in inside the ship with Cloud and Vincent walking through the hallways

Vincent: What are we suppose to do anyways if we don’t find anybody?

Cloud: We are just checking the ship out

Vincent: It seems that this empire is beyond the technology of Midgar

Cloud: Maybe but still why did they abandon a ship

Cloud and Vincent enters a room and the scene blackens and fades in with Tidus and Wakka

Wakka: This reminds me of the good times you know, when we were traveling together with Yuna on her Pilgrimage. It only seems like yesterday that we met, ya.

Tidus: Sometimes I am glad that I left my Zanderkand and came here to meet all of you especially Yuna

Wakka: If Chappu was still alive then you two would be great friends.

Tidus: Come on Wakka, think positive we are going to save the world just like the good times.

Wakka: Yeah you right, I should think on saving the world so my son has a place to live

Scene blackens and fade in with Skise and Lakeyna

Skise: This is so weird; there is still no soldiers in here what so ever

Lakeyna: Something must had caused them to evacuate

Skise: That is the most likely possibility but they wouldn’t leave a ship in perfect shape in a place where it’s easily spotted.

Lakeyna: The Bridge is inside this room here

Lakeyna and Skise walk into the bridge while Lakeyna is trying to figure out how to operate the ship. Skise sits in the captain seat and put on the headsets and open up the captain log.

Captain Crane: This is Captain Crane of Squadron 2-6-0 from the 800th armada, station at north sector of Ciriusein. The other day some scientist was suddenly transferred to my ship and is now secretly working in the labs of the south section of the ship. Several hours ago the scientist finally revealed on what they are working on and turned out to be a new experiment Shadow Demon. Further details on this new demon are still kept secret, so that is all of what I have to say in this log for now.

Skise: Shadow Demon? There are more logs created after that.

Captain Crane: This is Captain Crane of Squadron 2-6-0 from the 800th armada, station at north sector of Ciriusein. The new experimental Shadow Demon specimen is much more of what the scientist thought it could do. It’s getting relentless and more vicious after every single test that they are doing to it. It tore open a four feet neo-tritium armor wall and almost got out of the lighted cage which can be fatal to the ship. I have doubts about this new specimen, that It well get us when the time comes.

Skise: (Is that why the crew of this ship abandon the ship all of a sudden) Huh… there is one more message.

Captain Crane: This is Captain Crane [sounds of screaming in the background] forget about my position [more screaming that seems close]. The demon finally act upon its own will, getting out of the reinforce five feet neo-tritium cage. It now freely moves through the shadows taking its prey back inside and slaughter them. There is nothing I can do to help what is happening, but the only thing I to do for the others is to send a signal to the empire about the situation. If this works then they might be here in one hour, what…no, ahhhhh…. CONNECTION LOSS ~~~LASTED DATED 55 MINUTES AGO~~~

Skise: Damn!

Skise look at Lakeyna who is pointing toward the front of the bridge. Skise looks and see something that defies what a demon body supposes to look like.

Lakeyna: What the hell is like that?!

Skise: That’s the Shadow Demon

Lakeyna: Is that Project Jenova I been hearing about from Skine and the others

Skise: What?

Scene blackens and switch to Cloud and Vincent checking the room with computers that has information on the Jenova Project

Cloud: What the hell!

Vincent: It can not be

Cloud: They are messing with things that they shouldn’t.

Vincent: But how did they get a piece of Jenova?

Scene fades back to Lakeyna, Skise and the demon.

Lakeyna: They found an organ hidden on Sephiroth body when he was defeated at the empire. They didn’t know what it was so they did a DNA scan and through found something extremely fascinating. They research it and there data showed files on Jenova and some stuff about the Shin-Ra Corparation trying to find something about the Ancients. They use Jenova cells and DNA to fuse it with test subjects and created demons the Jenova Project was the first experiment. This ship was the second experiment of fusing that creation with the Shadows and I guess at the end they couldn’t handle it.

Skise: This thing is a genetically altered Shadow soldier with parts of DNA from Jenova and giving it more Shadow juice to create a creature at this magnitude.

Lakeyna: But why isn’t it attacking us.

Jenova Demon: [Male face appears]Lakeyna…

Lakeyna: That voice, it can’t be, its my father’s

Skise: That thing also came from using the victims of Teego. That son of a bitch, I’ll swear I will kill them all for this!

Jenova Demon: Lakeyna…

Lakeyna: I bet he is using the last of his strength to communicate with us

Jenova Demon: Lakeyna, please come here and join your family. We will all be one big happy once again, please come to us.

Skise: No! Don’t go to it!

Jenova Demon: [Female face appears] Keyna, listen to your father, he knows best

Lakeyna: Mother, not you too

Jenova Demon: Lakeyna, come.

Lakeyna: Stop it! Just stop, get out of my head!

Scene shows Lakeyna on the ground screaming as she holds her head then Skise unsheathe his sword and walks toward the demon. Lakeyna suddenly stops screaming as she gets up and gets a dagger behind her back and thrust it toward Skise.

Scene blackens and fade in with Yuna’s group

Yuna: It’s so strange that no Shadow Soldiers are here

Rikku: Don’t jinx us, I’m quite glad that nobody is here

Paine: Don’t be too relaxed, something is bound to happen some time.

Rikku: Why can’t we stay with the group?

Paine: It’s better to split up to patrol a winder area

Yuna: I really wanted to see what’s inside the ship then patrol

Scene switches to Squall’s group

Quistis: I don’t trust that Skise character, he wasn’t willing to share information.

Squall: To me, its not Skise that I don’t trust. He didn’t show any key signs to not be trusted. Its Lakeyna that I am worried about she gave away too much information. I don’t trust her not only for that but she was from the Shadow Empire and it doesn’t take a day to revert back.

Rinoa: I agreed with Quistis, if he not part of them then why is he so jumpy when he is giving the information that he has?

Squall: Shinra from the Gullwings did an interesting review on Skise behavior on their ship. He is only serious when he is fighting other then that he is the most clumsy person they he ever seen.

Rinoa: its just a covered up and besides Lakeyna acts calm and honest

Squall: Skise might be hiding something but for some reason he gives me no vibes to not to trust him.

Quistis: You have too much confidence in him when we don’t know a thing about him.

Squall: If he couldn’t be trusted don’t you think he shouldn’t be here with us and at least try to do something to trust him. He didn’t tell us any useful information knowing that without it we don’t need anything from him.

After a while the ground turns black as they are instantly surrounded by soldiers.

Squall: They’re here for the ship

Quistis: About time they showed up.

Scene blackens to and fade in to Yuna’s group.

Rikku: Where did they come from?

Yuna: Lets rock and load

Paine: Do they ever quit losing?

Rikku: Uh…no, don’t let them come back winning

Scene blackens and fade in with Irvine’s group

Zell: About time, I was about to die of boredom

Selphie: At least we are fighting against people and not those zombies that the others were fighting against.

Irvine: Without the lightning lighting up the sky every other second then we be totally blind out here.

Scene zooms out viewing the ship and the three groups fighting then the scene blackens and fade in with the Bridge with the knife in Skise back.

Skise: Damn!

Jenova Demon: Good, come here my daughter and join us, so we could rule the worlds together

Lakeyna: Yes father, we should unite as one.

Scene blackens with Lakeyna walking toward the Shadows and fade in with Cloud and Vincent still in the computer room.

Cloud: Sephiroth must still have a piece of her when they captured him.

Vincent: It looks like they are trying to fuse a creature with the DNA of her.

Cloud: They did several living test subjects of different species and only one of the creatures was successful.

Vincent: That only test subject is the fusion of Jenova DNA with human host

Cloud: Yes, this whole experiment is called the Jenova Project, its referred as the first Shadow Demon, the soldier of the shadows. There a list of victims they used in the demon and looks like half of the population of the city Teego.

Vincent: This had gone too far, Jenova shall never live again in any form.

Cloud: Project Jenova…terminated.

Suddenly a capsule besides them explodes releasing one of the failed Shadow Demon. Cloud and Vincent fought it and won, after Cloud and Vincent is running through the hallways as the room explodes behind them. Scene blackens and fade in at the bridge and the demon tires to eat Skise but Vincent shots the Demon in the shadows and Cloud gets Skise and both runs outside the bridge.

Cloud: We leaving, we must find another ship.

Tidus enters

Tidus: No can do, we are surrounded outside, Wakka went outside to help and I came here to let you guys know.

Cloud: Never mind outside we got a problem inside

Tidus: What problem?

Cloud: Hey blonde, can you fight as good from back there with those zombies

Tidus: My name is Tidus remember, and yeah, that was like nothing.

Cloud: Then us three should be enough to defeat this Jenova Demon.

Lakeyna walks into the shadows the disappeared.

Vincent: Lets defeat this thing.

Tidus: What about Skise?

Vincent: He is unable to fight give him time to rest lets go.

Cloud, Tidus, and Vincent runs toward the shadows and disappeared to on top of the ship with continuous lightning making small shadows.

Vincent: Sorry you two but with my guns I can help them down below

Cloud: Good luck

Tidus: We can take this thing.

Cloud and Tidus begins to walk around but Suddenly Lakeyna jumps out and ambush Cloud. The two begin fighting each other.

Cloud: I don’t want to hurt you

Lakeyna attacks Cloud and impacts

Cloud: Forget what I said.

The two finish the fight and Cloud easily won as the scene shift back to the ship where Skise gets the knife out of his back and walks toward the shadow. Scene shift around the ship seeing Squall climbing a ladder heading on top of the ship. Squall, Cloud, and Tidus begins fighting the Jenova Demon but its too strong

Cloud: We must defeat this if we ever going to get to the Empire.

Squall: Do we even had a choice now

Tidus: Its stronger then it looks we have to act together

Cloud: I fight alone

Squall: Fighting in a team was never my idea in my life.

Cloud and Squall charges the demon while Tidus stays behind and the two easily got sent back to Tidus.

Cloud: We need a plan

Tidus: We know that he uses his tentacles from both arms and only works if two goes up to it. If somehow all three of us attack it at once and this strategy works then we could take it down.

Squall: No, there is five tentacles in each arm and it could use all ten at once attacking us at the same time if we charge.

Cloud: Then do you have something else to plan

Squall: My plan that I am thinking if two of us attack then he will combine the two sets of five in two big one and aim it at the two. If we somehow get it to combine into one tentacle then it will leave an opening for an attack by the third person.

Cloud: I see you activated your limit breaker technique and you be perfect for the third person.

Tidus and Cloud runs toward the demon and got it to combine its tentacle at that exact moment Squall appears from above with his body glowing.

Squall: Renzokuken Lionheart

Squall uses his ultimate limit breaker and defeated the demon. The three walks away from the corpse but Lakeyna runs past them and kneels down at the demon.

Lakeyna: Forgive me papa, I couldn’t save you again.

Jenova Demon: To repent for your sins daughter, you are going to be part of me.

Lakeyna: Yes papa, I will do anything.

Cloud: What are they going to do?

Tidus: Why is she doing this? I thought she is on our side.

Squall: Look! The demon is reviving.

The demon stands up and it sucks Lakeyna into its body and it transform to a blob on for the bottom body and its original body for the upper. It suddenly grows in size and cast a shadow over the three.

Tidus: There is no way we can defeat something this huge

Squall: There got to be a way.

Cloud: Damn that girl! Why did she have to do that?

Squall: I expected this from her, she did come from the Shadow Empire.

Tidus: What are we going to do now?

Skise: let me handle this

Skise enters with his jacket off and holding his Murowsumasane and his mystic energy is emitting from his body.

Skise: Mystic Hell Storm

Skise jumps up and fires a scatter energy blast toward the demon while some went off course and hit the ground around the ship missing the ten who is watching the show. Skise then burst forward toward the demon like a white fireball and impact the demon. The impact causes an explosion that sends shockwave blowing everyone to the ground. Skise appears on the ground and Lakeyna falls from above and land in his hand.

Stalker: Very good Skise, you the type of person I want as a host.

Scene blackens and fade in the medical bay with the 13 looking at Skise resting and Lakeyna on the other bed unconscious. The 13 left the medical bay and head towards the bridge where Cloud sits down in the captain seat.

Cloud: What are we going to do?

Rikku: These controls are extremely advance

Irvine: The only person who knows how to pilot this ship is that girl.

Cloud: There is no way I trust her like I used too, she attacked me and I notice that she was going for the kill but…

Rinoa: How can you say that, I know that there is some reason why she attack you.

Cloud: I don’t know any more

Squall: We know Skise isn’t part of the Shadow Empire because he has the Mystic ability and kill us if he wanted to but he chose not to.

Cloud: He has a different agenda then us but our main goal is the destruction of the Shadow Empire.

Tidus: The Shadow Empire is coming at us with everything that they got, we need all the help we can get. If you guys still don’t trust Lakeyna then why don’t you ask Skise what happen between them with the Shadow Demon?

Cloud: They had an argument the other day and they seem to get over it but something happened on the bridge that change her or it was the time to change back.

Yuna: We can’t sit here and argue about it all day we must figure out how to work this thing.

Lakeyna: I told you before that I can operate this

Lakeyna appears walking in.

Cloud: Since you are the only person familiar with the system then we have no choice but to let you pilot this ship.

Lakeyna: Don’t worry about me, the Shadow Empire means nothing to me as long they pay for Teego.

Scene blackens and switch to the medical bay where Skise is standing near the window viewing the lightning storm.

Skise: How long is it until I can finally defeat you brother

Skine: Brother, come to me

Skise nods as the scene shows Skise getting out of the ship when its taking off and runs off. He then appears reaching a building.

Skise: What is this place, why it is so close to Teego and I never knew about it.

Skise suddenly begins to have flashes of the building past.

Skise: I has been here before but when or why/

Skise enters the building and heads toward the last door of the hallway with bunch of empty capsule but then somebody appears.

Skise: Master

Old man: It has been a while.

Skise: What or why are you doing in such a place?

Old man: I been here for seventeen years trying to figure out about the Mystic Project.

Skise: What are you talking about? What is this Mystic Powers? What does it have to do with our Mystic Powers?

Old man: Do not be afraid of what I am about to tell you

Skise: Try me

Old man: You know that most of our people revert to the Shadow Empire and only little escape becoming Cirius. The Cirius trying to rebel against the Shadow Empire but every attempt was a complete failure. One day they made a breathtaking scientific development of manipulating the functions of the body cells and set up the Mystic Project. Your parents was not only part of the Mystic Project but was the head of it and who made the discovery. They used twenty babies and few adults for a test subject for the new project. Two of the babies where you and your brother and one of the adults was I. ON the day of the first procedure something happened, lightning hit the building and causes all machine to act crazy. The electricity gotten inside the cords and it traveled through them reaching us inside our liquid capsule fusing with the project. Luckily the electric charge that we got wasn’t fatal but it changes our whole entire body structure and function that the experiment could ever do. Every cell in our body gives out an electrical charge with pure energy and we can somehow use the energy in specific forms. Within several weeks of the project the Shadow Empire somehow found out about us and sent in a team of elite soldiers. Your parents got killed immediately by protecting you and your brother to live your life and save all of Cirius. They were about to kill you two but I used my new found powers to defeat some of them. This buy me time to rescue as many as I can but I only found you and your brother. I barely escape with you two in my arms running as far as I can. I reach Teego in couple hours and put you two on the doorsteps of a middle age women. I left to the mountains, that one day when you get older that you might come to me for answers.. Three years later, your brother Skine went off adventuring by himself and he traveled extremely far and found this building. For some odd reason this building was never destroyed or used so he found about all the records about his past. When he left the building in a rush to tell you but halfway home he got kidnap by the Shadow Empire. When you heard about your brother being kidnap you went into a deep state of trance going from conscious and unconscious. I watch you for a year trying to see if you will recover, eventually you did but avoided everybody including Lakeyna. I used my psychic link and called you to the mountains. For fourteen years, I train you on how to use your Mystic abilities so you can finally defeat the Shadow Empire and avenge your parents’ death.

Skine: You waited this long to tell him about the Mystic Project.

Skine appears from entering the shadows of a corner.

Old man: Skine, how long has you been here?

Skine: Shut up, you still didn’t tell him all about us two Mystics

Skise: What are you talking about?

Skine: After the lightning incident they modify the equipment and use the manipulator on us. They restyle our cell structure and function to be the perfect soldiers to fight against the Shadow Empire, knowing how tot kill and follow orders. As the other eighteen babies were learning how to use their abilities but they were still modifying and improving both us. I found video records of us being tortured to death up to our limits and surpassing them barely alive. I watch us, as babies, being used as tools of destruction day and night. I couldn’t possibly believe that those babies that I saw being electrocuted were once us. I couldn’t take it any longer I wanted the Shadow Empire to get me so I can show everyone what my parents did to me.

Skise: It doesn’t have to be like this

Skine: When does it get to your head, we were used ever since we were babies, they even told this old fool to train us when we grew older.

Skise: Whatever happened in the past is now gone, there is no Mystic Project and we are living creatures like normal people.

Skine: You’re wrong, this building is still being used by this old fool after the Shadow Empire terminated everyone here. He is modifying it, to make it better so he can complete the final procedure to become the ultimate Mystic of us all.

Old man: You are the one who wants to become the Ultimate Mystic so you can take over the Shadow Empire and use your power to rule this world with fear of your past.

Skine: Shut up or I kill you!

Skise: Your fight is with me!

Skine: Why are you still protecting him?

Skise: Its not him I’m protecting, you are one of them, and I never forgive them for destroying my hometown!

Skine: Teego isn’t your hometown, you were born here not there!

Skise: It doesn’t matter where I was born as I long there is a place I can called home and you destroyed it.

Skine: Damn you! You never listen to reason little brother, which is why I have to end all of it here!

Skine uses a technique as Skise and the old man leaves the room.

Skine: Mystic Energy Explosion

Skine’s red aura expends and exploded all the computers and capsules in the room while the old man reveals a secret door and Skise pushes him in it.

Skise: Sorry old man, but this is my fight and not yours.

Skise leaves

Old man: Skise no, you are making a big mistakes

Skise couldn’t hear as he is now in the main room where Skine was once at.

Skise: You could of used your powers for good and help us defeat the Shadow Empire like our parents intended us to do but you joined them.

Skine: We told you how we were treated as babies and you still wan to use this power for good of mankind.

Skise: Our parents died for us to live and use our powers to destroy the Shadow Empire.

Skine: Damn you Skise! Listen to me for once! The two people you called parents and the rest of them were using us like animals. We were nothing to them but test subjects of their stupid experiment. I always thought our parents died from a good cause but when I cam here I finally knew the truth. You are here and also know the truth that I found out back then. Don’t you feel the pain that I was feeling fifteen years ago?

Skise: You don’t get it dear Skine, I felt the pain that you were feeling all along, I dreamt when I was a baby all the time. The pain is like knife stabbing my heart continuously that I was once used like that. After witnessing the Shadow Empire slaughter two cities and how effective of my power was, my opinion of the Mystic Project was weird. It is like this is our destiny and our parents gave us this gift that only us two have everything we need and want to make thing right once again.

Skine: This is why I hate about you Skise, you always look things to the positive side. Lakeyna stab you in the back with her dagger in cold blood but you still saved her from that demon. Same thing happened during when you were a baby, they electrocuted us to near death to improve results. They are the ones who gave us this power but its my choice on how to use it and not theirs.

Skise: What will you be if you never had this power, brother?

Skine: What kind of question is that?

Skise: Answer me brother, what will you be if you never had this power?

Skine: That question has nothing to do what we are talking about!

Skise: If we never had this Mystic power then we will be with our parents and be a normal family like everyone else, right? We will be living in Teego having a carefree life just like everyone else. What will become of us if the Shadow Empire came like it did and destroys everything that we once cared about? We will then wish that we could of done something about it to stop it, we will wish for power or a miracle. We got the power now, and we can stop all of this meaningless destruction and avenged our parents’ death.

Skine: Think of what you want little brother, but your useless tactics of manipulating my mind, doesn’t work on me. I shall get revenge on every living being on this wretched planet and I start by getting rid of you first.

Skise: If you want it that way then I have no choice but to fight you if you want to continue on your meaningless destruction.

Skine: Don’t make me laugh, you can never defeat your older brother!

Skise: Try me and see what I can do!
