GuiltyRed's Into The Nexus

Title: No One Would Ever Know
Challenge: Self Insertion
Character: surprise
Word count: 100


Ah, peace and quiet. It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to write like this. Between Sephiroth and his frosty cool perfection, Genesis with his unstoppable fire, and Angeal the gentle giant and man among men, I have more story ideas than I know what to do with.

Let’s start with Sephiroth and Genesis, someone wanted to see a story about them… a fantasy, huh? Okay, I can do that.

“Hey, Kunsel! How’s it going?”

I hit the button to bring up a neutral screen. “Not bad, Zack, not bad at all.”

A/N: Got three-for-one firsties going on here!



Genesis stared as his friend staggered back toward the tree. “Are you okay?” He’d led the charge in jumping down from the branches, and now Angeal was hurt because of him.

“Yeah,” the other boy grunted. His right arm hung at an unnatural angle. “Landed wrong; I can fix it.”

Angeal braced himself, then pushed his injured shoulder against the tree as if trying to knock it over.

With a loud “SNAP” the joint went back into socket.

Pasty-faced, Genesis murmured, “Wow… Did it hurt?”

Before Angeal could answer, Genesis fainted dead away.

Unheard, Angeal replied, “Well, just a little.”

A/N: This came to me as a series of short bits, ranging from canon-present all the way back through “Before Crisis” – with an additional drabble from an even earlier set of Turks. Can’t help it: some things never change. XD

Title: To Get From the Left to the Right!
Challenge: Film Quotes
Characters/Pairings: Crisis Core-era SOLDIER
Word Count: 100
A/N: The quote: “(General) Where the hell have you been, soldier? (Winger) Training, Sir! (platoon) TRAINING SIR! (General) What kind of training, son? (Winger) HOAARRRMMYY TRAINING, SIR! (platoon) ARMY TRAINING SIR!” also from “Stripes.”


General Sephiroth considered the ragtag platoon before him. No drill sergeant in sight, the odd assortment of troopers seemed to be following a 3^rd Class SOLDIER. After a sidelong glance to the other 1^st Class representatives and Director Lazard, Sephiroth addressed the platoon’s erstwhile leader. “Where the hell have you been, SOLDIER?”

The young man didn’t hesitate. “Training, Sir!”

“TRAINING SIR!” echoed the platoon with eardrum-bursting volume.

I know I’m going to regret this, Sephiroth thought; still, he continued. “What kind of training, son?”

Taking a deep breath, the SOLDIER bellowed, “HOAARRRMMYY TRAINING, SIR!”

“ARMY TRAINING SIR!”

Beside Sephiroth, Angeal hid his face in his hands.

Sephiroth gave him a look. “You…know this kid?”

Character: Lazard

They are beautiful, my SOLDIERs. Godlike perfection in the form of man.

Any time I am allowed to linger in the barracks or locker rooms is a blessing. I memorize each man: every angle, every plane, every detail. Long legs and barrel chest and fine-boned hands, piercing eyes and feral smile and brilliant untroubled laughter.

And when I am alone with my memory and my hand, I picture them in their glory, power restrained by will and bodies shaped by that power. Rippling muscles, inhuman speed, and unimaginable strength –

– all hidden beneath the smooth and hairless skin of a child.

Title: Why Did the Chocobo Cross the Road?
Challenge: Film Quotes
Characters/Pairings: Crisis Core-era SOLDIER
Word Count: 100
A/N: The quote: “(Winger) Platoon – a-one, two… (platoon) BOOM shaka-laka-laka! BOOM shaka-laka-laka! BOOM shaka-laka-laka! BOOM!” from “Stripes."

Sephiroth hated these events. He stood at attention, acknowledging the young troopers as they marched by in formation, their every move neat, precise, and mind-numbingly predictable.

As the last platoon passed him by, he frowned, his mental count off by one. Sephiroth turned toward Lazard and stage-whispered, “Where’s the rest of it?”

Lazard fidgeted with his collar and looked like he wanted to disappear. “Well, General, there’s been some trouble with –”

With great noise, the missing platoon double-time marched across the field, bypassing the parade route entirely.

Their leader called them to their places: “Platoon – a-one, two…”

“BOOM shaka-laka-laka! BOOM shaka-laka-laka! BOOM shaka-laka-laka! BOOM!”

Sephiroth stared. “That…was special…”

Oh, this moment was so worth the wait. That look of shock and horror, of utter and complete betrayal – perfection. To think, he believed he had the upper hand all this time, bringing me up here for a bird’s-eye view of the nefarious destruction he and his fellows would unleash upon the innocent citizens of Edge, all in search for their “mother” – a few vials of cells, hidden right in front of him all this time.

“A good son would have known.”

Serves the miniature nightmare right. If Sephiroth hadn’t started all this bullshit, my cat might still be alive.

Rosso the Crimson prodded the dead Restrictor with her toe. “Now what?”

“We need to be sure of our direction,” Argento stated, turning toward their leader.

Nero nodded. “Yes, brother, what is your intention?”

Weiss gestured grandly. “What I want…is to sail the darkness of the cosmos with this planet as my vessel –”

Nero coughed softly. “Someone already tried that.”

Weiss blinked. “…oh.” He looked around as if the bare walls could give him inspiration. It must have worked, for he brightened almost immediately. “I’ve got it! To boldly go, where – for pity’s sake, that’s been done too, hasn’t it…”

“I’ll be in my trailer,” Rosso grumbled.

“Ditto,” Argento muttered, following her out.

Nero just sighed.
