CREDITS template by jawn of AA, OTE, DMB and TC[/style][style=font: 11px Tahoma; text-align: justify;] A light purple figure entered the scene inside the small church in the Sector 5 slums. The light shone down onto the figure to reveal it to be a man donning a curved helmet, wearing an all purple attire besides his black boots and leather gloves. On this man's back he wielded two beautifully crafted gunblades which clinked together each time the former SOLDIER took a step. With a sigh he rubbed the back of his neck, seemingly at awe at the area around him. "Jeez, it's been awhile since I've visited this place. ." Kunsel said under his breath, sliding his hand across the wooden chairs. "I was thinking about visiting his girlfriend, but. . . seems like she's not here anymore. He said out loud again to himself with a small chuckle, remembering how much Zack gloated about having such a cutie. He missed those times so much, it was years ago that his best friend died and Kunsel swore revenge against the ones responsible. "But it doesn't mean much since that Cloud guy already took care of one of 'em." He remembered Cloud, new guy, just a grunt. . But he was good terms on Zack to, Kunsel doubted anyone would expect such a scrawny guy like him to take out the legendary soldier Sephiroth. Well, it was just one check off the board for Kunsel, he had two others. . . Genesis and Angeal, the two guys who caused Zack's death. . . His best friend, his brother. "It's my honor, my SOLDIER honor to avenge him!" Kunsel yelled in the air, knowing what he had to do for Zack's soul to rest at peace. [/style]

[Genesis Rhapsodos]

He had to leave Midgar, but he didn't want to without finding out what exactly had happened to SOLDIER, and Shin-Ra... And what had happened to the President. He had heard from Weiss that President Shinra had been killed by Sephiroth [who was, actually, Jenova] and was replaced quickly by Vice President Rufus Shinra, his son. There wasn't any sign, however, that Midgar was run by anyone.

Genesis stood at the entrance of Sector Five, hands planted firmly on his hips as he stared ahead. He had mostly been up on the plate of Midgar, now he had decided to come down to the Slums to see what had happened. The SOLDIER first class had never often been down to the Slums. The only time he went below the plate was on missions set by the Director of SOLDIER, and that wasn't often.

The redhead wrinkled his nose and dropped his arms to his sides, walking forwards. Mako eyes scanned the area, noticing only slight signs of life of people. He did see signs of monsters in the area, but it seems they had been cleared out. The other life signs were the few flowers dotted around the place. This confused the ex-SOLDIER greatly, as he had no idea that flowers could grow at all in Midgar. Sure, Angeal was able to do small amounts of gardening here, but that was about it, because the soil here wasn't good enough to grow plants.

"It's my honour, my SOLDIER honour to avenge him!"

This shout to the sky made Genesis's ears twitch, and he allowed himself to turn his gaze in the direction of where he heard the yell. It seemed to have come form inside a small church, which was decrepit. He allowed himself to stare for a moment.

Was there someone in there who was part of SOLDIER? If it was... Well, the redhead couldn't decide whether to investigate or run. He wasn't welcome here in Midgar, which was why he was keeping such a low profile and moving as he would in a stealth mission. If a SOLDIER found him, they may act on passive orders and try to kill him.

But he was desperate to find out information on what had happened to Midgar and Shin-Ra.

The red leather clad man quickly jogged over to the church, hiding behind the door and peering inside. The church seemed bigger than it was on the outside, and light streamed in from the ceiling. Genesis stared a moment, then he switched his gaze to a man clad in purple and a helmet. He quickly stood back, hiding once again behind the door and mutely sighing.

It was a second class SOLDIER, so it should be safe enough to approach them. After all, Genesis was a first class, and on top of that, he was the result of many Shinra experiments. A failed experiment, but an experiment of Shinra all the same.

"May I ask... Avenge who?" Genesis stepped forward into the church, arms by his sides. He was resisting the urge to put his hand on Perseus's hilt, in the case of an attack, but he was tense, and ready to pull it out if need be.

CREDITS template by jawn of AA, OTE, DMB and TC[/style][style=font: 11px Tahoma; text-align: justify;]He looked into the air, at the hole in the top of the church. . . Why did he just yell what he should have just said to himself? Heh, he probably looked like a moron, yelling random things to no one. "May I ask... Avenge who?" A smooth voice said behind the former SOLDIER. This voice was all to familiar to him, a voice he looked up to, admired, but now hated. Kunsel gritted his teeth, hoping that it was not who he thought it was. "Him . . Of the two it had to be HIM!"

[/i] He turned around to find a tall man cloaked in bloody red, just as was the color of his hands. Genesis Rhapsodos now stood before the 2nd Class, along with an intimidating aura. "You. . . You Bastard! Kunsel shouted at the man with rage. Kunsel didn't care anymore, he wanted to this this man suffer with clear eyes. The young man grasped the top of his helm which has always covered his face from view towards the other members of SOLDIER, but he wanted this first class to see him as more than just someone below the ranks.

Kunsel through off his helm, revealing himself to have to of course have bright blue eyes but also having shockingly shoulder length red hair. It had been years since he had fought with his helm off, maybe it would improve his accuracy.

"How dare you come here! Kunsel shouted as he clenched his fists in hatred towards this man. He couldn't control it any longer, his whole body was shaking in rage. "This was the place he loved to be the most! His feet moved on his own toward Genesis, a fist risen. "HE'S DEAD CAUSE OF YOU! Although he was most likely no match for this man, he swung with all his strength at his jaw.

[Genesis Rhapsodos]

"You... You bastard!"

Ah, so perhaps approaching this SOLDIER wasn't a good idea. Genesis's hand automatically flickered to the hilt of his rapier-broadsword, but he stopped himself, his blue eyes widening in surprise when the second class shed his helm to reveal shoulder length red hair. That confused him, because it was against code for second and thirds to have long hair. Firsts however were an exception to this rule, and were also granted the priviledge of wearing their own clothes for work. Only he and Sephiroth changed their uniform -- Angeal and Zack kept the standard first class clothes.

"How dare you come here! This was the place he loved to be the most!"

Genesis took a slight step back, right hand resting on the hilt of Perseus, but it was his left fist that showed signs of combat. His hand was starting to glow, but it was faint. He wasn't going to draw his sword just yet.

"HE'S DEAD 'CUZ OF YOU!"

Who exactly was dead? Genesis didn't have time to contemplate an answer. His body moved on its own accord, making him step out of the way of the attack. His left hand raised and grabbed the SOLDIER's fist, connecting the other redhead with a fire spell. Considering Genesis's affinity for the fire element, the attack was stronger than a normal fire spell -- and if you added on his SOLDIER abilities...

The ex-SOLDIER jumped backwards, dropping his right arm to his side though ready to cast another spell if need be.

It clicked, all of a sudden. He remembered seeing a SOLDIER talking to Zack, and with some red hair sticking out of their helm.

"Zack Fair," he shook his head, "It wasn't I who killed Zack. After our final battle, he was absolutely fine... I was the one who came out wounded," and I might have died... I thank you, Goddess, for sending me back to complete my duty.

CREDITS template by jawn of AA, OTE, DMB and TC[/style][style=font: 11px Tahoma; text-align: justify;]Kunsel was reckless, running at a first class soldier with just his fists and no strategy? Only a novice would do that, a beginner, a runt. He was easily taken advantage of by the former First, caught and had a greater fire spell thrown into his face. Kunsel only imagined to jump away at the last second, although he still found his right cheek slightly scorched. He had to calm down, or he was good as dead. "Zack Fair," Genesis spoke the name that Kunsel did not want to hear from his cursed lips. His blue eyes instantly turned from surprise to instant rage. "It wasn't I who killed Zack. After our final battle, he was absolutely fine... I was the one who came out wounded," A small smile came from Kunsel's face as he heard this. So Zack easily defeated this legendary SOLDIER, god his best friend was a bad ass. "Of course you didn't kill Zack you moron. He spat the words at Genesis as he raised both of his hands, drawing his dual gun blades. . After Zack had died, Kunsel took up these weapons to become stronger then the rest of his group, he was the top of Second Class. . . If it weren't for the three traitors, he would have made First as well. . . He would have been beside his best friend, in the same league to do missions again. Zack died BECAUSE of what you did! Kunsel began as he swung his blade into the air in anger. Because of what YOU did, he got caught up in all the confusion! Because of what YOU caused, he was branded an traitor and a test subject!" He began to vent all his years of anger and sorrow of losing his best friend onto the man responsible. Because of you, he was gunned down like a dog by Shinra. . [/style]

[Genesis Rhapsodos]

Was that a flicker of a smile on the other's lips? Genesis's eyebrows creased in a slight 'v' out of confusion, but the look disappeared fast from his face, leaving it expressionless, more or less. There was a look of irritation in the SOLDIER's eyes that it was going to take a while to beat some sense into the second class and make him listen for a moment. It was going to take a while, and Genesis did not like the look of his dual gunblades -- though he didn't like the look of Angeal's Buster Sword [which would become Zack's in future], or Sephiroth's Masamune either.

He listened to the second, but his body was starting to shake. There were signs of another fire spell in his hand, and this one was going to be even bigger than the last. Genesis bit his lip harshly, causing it to bleed and start stinging, but he barely noticed it.

"I BECAME DESPERATE, SHINRA LAPDOG!! Genesis cried out at Kunsel, swinging his arm around and sending a powerful firaga spell to the side. It was only then that Genesis realised that the locked up fear in his body was starting come out. A mental breakdown. Tears slid down Genesis's cheeks as he leaned forward, water eyes fixed on the second.

"I have always been called a failure! I'm inhuman! I'm a Shinra experiment -- Project G! I craved the fame and attention Sephiroth had, I wanted it so much! Do you know how INSANE I was driven? Degradation -- I was going to die! I didn't want to die! I wanted to fulfill my duty as a SOLDIER..." Genesis's voice started to become softer, quieter, "Zack... Our final battle... I used the Goddess Materia in the Banora Underground and my degradation stopped..." there was a pause as Genesis raised his head and stepped back, walking away from Kunsel, but not leaving.

"I wanted my pride back... That's all I wanted. I wanted to complete my duty as a member of SOLDIER," letting this all out felt... good. Telling someone his story, instead of garbled nonsense from the mouths of others... What really happened.

He didn't think this second was going to listen, though.

"That desire was so strong I... I was willing to defy death and degradation to complete it... The Goddess accepted the desire to live on, stopped my degredation and sent me back to the Planet, out of the Lifestream..." The redhead raised his head again, sniffing slightly as he looked over at Kunsel. "I hate myself for what I've done. Yes, I probably did cause Zack to die. I told Sephiroth what he was, and he went mad. I didn't realise he would burn down Nibelheim... If only I didn't tell him... I... Zack wouldn't have been made a test subject..."

Goddess, he felt so bad right now... Extremely bad. Thinking about the past... He wanted to just cry. That's all he wanted to do, and he wasn't the type of person to cry. But he was the cause of everything bad that happened on the Planet...

But the little voice in his head told him it was Jenova's influence.

CREDITS template by jawn of AA, OTE, DMB and TC[/style][style=font: 11px Tahoma; text-align: justify;] "I BECAME DESPERATE, SHINRA LAPDOG!!" The First cried out at Kunsel, actually shocking him into a small silence. And out of everything he expected Genesis to do, he had done the least of what Kunsel would have thought. Cried. Kunsel was silent long enough for Genesis to begin his story of why he did everything that he did in the past years. Despair, jealousy, Honor. . .He remembered that Zack was like that at a time to when he was compared to Angeal . . And Kunsel as well towards Zack. The former SOLDIER admitted his sins of wrong doing, admitting his betrayal towards both Zack and Sephiroth. From this, Kunsel was about to bask into his soul in glory knowing that he finally found out the truth. . . The truth. . It was that very thing that suddenly threw him into the depth's of sorrow. A realization came to Kunsel. . . Shinra. . the very company that he worked for willingly along Zack even before everything happened to them. . . Was the cause of all of this from the very beginning. They were the ones who made Genesis into what he was now, they made him which shaped the events of what happened to Zack with no remorse. . . If Kunsel hadn't been so blind before. . . He could have done something! He could have stopped everything! His eyes seemed to flicker now into sorrow and anguish, madness. "No. . He whispered before throwing his gunblade straight at Genesis with a great cry of strength. . . Except for it hit the wooden walls beside him, driving it's self half way inside the wood. No . . NO DAMN IT!" He yelled as he dropped his other weapon onto the ground and crouched into a fetal position, his hands tumbling through his hair. "So everything I've done since then . . was for nothing?" He whispered to himself with tears sliding down his cheeks. "Have I really just been tearing down Zack's honor piece by piece all this time? [/style]

[Genesis Rhapsodos]

Genesis's eyes suddenly opened wide and he froze, seeing the gunblade fly for him. He was unable to move, unable to dodge, and his body tensed. The redhead relaxed immediately, almost falling against one of the church pews, as the gunblade missed its supposed target and buried itself in the wooden wall of the church. That strength... Genesis's Mako eyes looked to Kunsel, in momentary shock. That strength reminded him of a First Class.

The First had slouched, watching Kunsel with the tears of before still running down his face, but he wasn't making any noises. The occasional sniffle, but nothing else. It was just silent water. He had exploded suddenly into anger and tears, a short fuse, and the fuse was running out. Genesis was calming again, but he was sure he would be shakey for a while now. Sleep would probably help that... It would probably stop him from losing his temper some time soon actually... He always got ratty when he didn't get enough sleep, and he hadn't slept for the past two nights...

He supposed he wasn't meant to hear the other redhead's whisper... considering it was whispered to himself, but still, Genesis heard it, courtesy of his enhanced hearing from Mako and experiments. He sniffed slightly, removed a glove from his hand and put it in his pocket, then wiped his eyes quickly. He wasn't going to respond to the Second, no... It was a rhetorical question, and even if the SOLDIER had asked him that, Genesis still wouldn't have known how to respond to that. Instead, the auburn headed man turned to the gunblade in the wall, and managed to pull it out of the wall with a bit of tugging. Shaking and almost swaying, he walked over to the Second.

The gunblade was placed on the ground neatly beside the other of the pair, and Genesis crouched on the ground in front of the SOLDIER, though keeping distance. He peered at the other's face, and watery blue eyes widened in shock at the tears that had appeared on the Second's face too.

Genesis didn't think he would get this reaction...

CREDITS template by jawn of AA, OTE, DMB and TC[/style][style=font: 11px Tahoma; text-align: justify;] Silence had filled the air around him. . . Kunsel wondered if Genesis had left him to his pathetic sorrow. . . He had just confronted the first and attacked him, only to be now crying himself into self pity. Jeez, what kinda soldier was he to just cry to himself in sorrow? Zack would never do that, even when he beat Angeal. . . He just carried on with his dream with a higher determination. "Sorry Zack." He gave a small smirk as he dropped hand down to wipe his face clear of tears. "I'm not honoring you much am I?" Kunsel said now as he looked up, surprised to find Genesis right front of him, just a few feet away. His face seemed to be in surprise, although Kunsel didn't know why nor did he really care much for the reason. Slowly he stood up and turned so his back faced Genesis, so that he walked towards the small placement of flowers in the middle of the church. "You see these flowers? Kunsel said softly, slightly pointing at the small beautiful garden of flowers. "This is what Zack loved to do . . Come here, pick flowers and give them to her" He explained in an odd manor of Zack's love for Aerith. "I believe. . they both reside here. . . in this church, in spirit. It was true, those two loved to be together and where else did they go besides they're own little secret hideout. [/style]

[Genesis Rhapsodos]

This SOLDIER was surprising Genesis quite a bit. He must have been very close to Zack, and upset over his death. And probably slightly insane from the result of it, considering he was talking to thin air... but a reason why would be given to the redhead soon. Genesis blinked and watched Kunsel stand, also standing up himself. It was almost unreal how he managed to calm his whole body. The First was still quivering from the short breakdown, and tears still trickled down his cheeks, but he felt fine. He felt fine.

"You see these flowers? This is what Zack loved to do... Come here, pick flowers and give them to her. I believe... they both reside here... in this church, in spirit."

The redhead blinked slowly, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he closed his eyes. Flowers in Midgar. A rare sight, so flowers for a lover... was rare too. He opened his eyes again to look at the flowers the Second had pointed to, admiring their beauty. He could almost picture the puppy coming here and picking flowers. It was a beautiful thing, love.

Suddenly Genesis gasped. His Mako eyes widened once again.

Of course, of course. The merging of worlds wasn't the only thing that happened... How could the poet have forgotten? Stupid... Stupid.

"The night I woke up... I couldn't feel Zack's presence in the Lifestream... It had gone... A while later, I woke up in the distorted world... There's no Lifestream here. Nothing. Life is..." The SOLDIER paused a moment to gather his thoughts. His mind felt foggy from the crying, and he could feel himself start to break down again. Remembering why he came back...--

"People have been revived from the dead. A man called Cid Raines was meant to have died, but he came back from the dead to head Cocoon once again."

--... He came back to redeem himself.

The thought of not being able to achieve redemption -- he was zoning out again -- was making his body shake again, and he looked down to hide the fresh flood of silent tears.

Redemption. How he wanted to wash away all of his sins...

Genesis responded with a much calmer tone of voice, almost calm, confused. Which also represented the other red head in the room, confused. What the hell was this guy going on about, not being able to feel Zack's presence in the life stream? Could you even pinpoint someone in there? "What the hell are you talking about, him not being there? I'm not getting what it is your saying. It was true, was speaking nonsense, well luckily he dumbed it down for Kunsel. "People have been revived from the dead. . . . Kunsel's jaw almost dropped in shock. Was he lying? No why would he have any reason to lie now after all of that? . . Was he insane? That would be a plausible case in this scenario, 'cept the fact that Sephiroth had revived before in the freakin city of Midgar. "So that means. . Joy began to raise in Kunsel's stomach, it was like the sweet taste of Vanilla. Z-Zack's coming back!? A huge smile began to spread on his face as he jumped in the air for joy, his best friend, gone for years. DEAD, is back! Alive and well! [/style]

"So that means... Z-Zack's coming back!?"

The excitement in Kunsel's voice managed to make a pained smile twitch onto Genesis's lips. He looked down, closing his eyes, nodded slightly in response, and voiced a quiet "It's possible," before falling silent again. He was going to offer to help the other SOLDIER find his friend, but doing so would cause Genesis to come face to face to Zack Fair.

He didn't know what their meeting would consist of. The redhead was pretty sure the puppy was a forgiving guy, but it was possible that the corruption of the calamity would have made him forget things, and due to that, Zack may end up very pissed off at the former First Class. It was probably not a good idea.

Genesis decided to still offer.

"If... If it's fine with you, I can help you find Zack. I hear rumours often, and I have nothing better to do. Besides I... I have to thank Zack," there was a pause, and Genesis let out a soft yet bitter laugh. "I may stay away from Zack though. Wait for him to find me."

As creepy as it sounded, it was a happy moment for the former Soldier! He'd have to make some comment to Zack later about being a zombie, he was sure the two would have a huge laugh about it. "That zombie is gonna get it once he comes back!" He chuckled to himself. The man was so happy he would have hugged the first class Soldier if he hadn't spoken again. "Hm?" He hummed as he listened to Genesis with a confused look on his face. "Well I have no problem with you helping but why would you want to stay away if you want to thank him?" He questioned, either it made no sense or he was to stupid to realize what the man was saying. "If he let you live after that battle of yours, I'm SURE he won't mind you coming around to thank him." Yeah, that sounded about right. Kunsel wasn't wise or anything but he had common sense. [/style]
