Come Sit down lets hear your story. Now that i know you must be knew. Perhaps you remember, the stories you have read. How far you must have traveled to get here, unless you were born here. Legends and myth float about this land like, a choking hold upon a prey's neck. Now that you have joined us, perhaps you'd care to listen. For what i have to say is very important....
It is an epic tale: a battle for survial a challange for peace
The sprawling metropolis of Midgar had become the world's center Mako, a seemingly unlimted source of engergy, supplied power to everyone. This energy source was developed and monoploized by an entity know as the Shinra Electric Power Company, which covered the surface of the planet with engergy distribution facilties called mako reactors. Shinra had grown into a malevolent industry with incontestable economic power, as well as a tyrannical hand in politics.
Unknow to most, mako was the source of all life on the planet--the very lifeblood pulsing through its veins. As mako was pumped from deep below the planet's surface, the world slowly crept towrd its imminent demise.
Cloud Strife, a mercenary formely of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit, agreed to cooperate with Avalanche, an anti-Shinra group establisehd by Barret Wallace. However, Cloud could never ave know what awaited him on his journey-his lost past and a cruel fate for the future.
Many gathered around Cloud in his struggle, he even sought out the BlackRider, who is know by many names, and took a long time for him to track down. However it was Vicent and Nathaniel who asked Shadow for his help.
- Tifa Lockhard, Cloud's childhood friend and a master of martial arts.
- Aerith Gainborough a girl with the blood of the Ancients running through her veins, who Cloud would never forget.
- Red XIII, the last member of a race that lived alongside the planet and protected it with pride.
- Cait Sith, a fortune-telling robot whose true identiy was Reave Tuesti, a spy from Shinra.
- Yuffie Kisaragi, a young ninja gathering materia to restore her homeland to its former glory.
- Cid Highwind, a renowned pilot who was destined to become the worlds first astronaut.
- Vicnent Valentine, whose body was twisted by a made Shinra scientist(Hojo) and made to sleep for 30 years.
The hopes and dreams of this stalwart bande come together and escalated ito a battle against Sephiroth, a man intent on destroying the planet.
Sephiroth, once a member of SOLDIER, was a legendary warrior who also served as Cloud's inspiration. Created through Shinra's Jenova Project, his power greatly surpassed that of any mere human. At one time in history, he was revered by all as a hero but on the fateful day he discouvered the secrets behind his birth, he set the town of Nibelheim ablaze and dissappeared without a trace. As he vanished, he vowed to one day become ruler of the planet.
Several years later, he reappared and initiated his plan to summon a wayward star fromt he cosmos and smash it into the surface of plant using the ultimate destructive magic(supposably the most): Meteor. aerith learned of the danger to the planet and prepared to use HOly, a scred magic of the ancients, to stop Meteor. She tried to find Shadow(Sumaru) however she was unable to. As she died with his name on her lips, she was felled by Sephiroth's blade.
Overcoming sorrow and despair, Cloud and his companions fianlly managed to deaft Sephiroth, but Meteor already hovered close above the planet's surface. The land screamed in agony as cities were slowly torn apart. In the midst of the chaos, one of Aerith's dying prayer's were finally anwsered and Holy rose against the wicked magic. However, it was too late, and nothing could stop the awesome strength of Meteor. At the moment when all seemed lost, Shadow appeared and Aerith's prayers were anwsered, he synchronized the Lifestream of the planet with Holy, eneveloping Meteor along with the entire planet...
Countless long years later since that event...
Meteor had left a tremendous scar on the planet. The once green land withered and the radiant light of mako vanished. The calamity know as Meteorfall would never be forgotten by anyone who lived through that fateful day.
Int he midst of this tragedy, people worked to help one another, and the world slwoly began to rise from the ashes of decy and decimantion with Shadows help.
Just as things began to stablize, an ominous event transpired in Junon. In the course of a single night, a large number of people disappeared without a trace. News of the mass disappearance carried swiftly across the globe and spanwed rampant speculation.
Around the same time, in the city of Edge, eerie rumors passed through the strees. Rumors of screams echoing from nearby Midgar, night after night...
At the heart of Meteor's attack on the planet Midgar had sustained the most damage and was no longer a place for man to dwell. However, records were uncoverd that led many to believe that people had been left behind in the city. Television crews and volunteer organizations sent in rescue teams, but not a single person returned.
Kalm, located to the east of Midgar,
also sustained major damage during Meteorfall,
but had managed to recover---
thanks to the efforts of its people.
Plans for a large celebration were underway.
Vicent Valentine, and Prince Sumaru were summoned to the celebration
by Reeve tuesti, an old comrade who fought by there side
three years ago in the struggle against Sephiroth.
As festive paricipants fill the streets and
celebration envelops th etown, a mysterious
groupd of soldiers attacks without warning.
People all over th etown are gunned down
or captured by these unidentified invaders
Vincent and Sumaru bears witness to the tragedy unfolding
around them and leap into action. What they don't
know is that these soldiers are also looking for them.

That is the story what you make of it i don't know. Thousands of years have passed.(a small light thud as a heavy book is layed down, steering dust in the process) What you make of this and weather you belevie it or not, i do not care. Choose your story and live your story.(a small gust of wind and the stranger disappears the book fades away eerily, the place that was bustling with life suddenly vanish's and you sit amongs the ruins of Midgar)
