<A Quick MST by A-kun and Friends>
A-kun: All right, here's the next chapter in the FF7 saga, Such A
Change, by Myrriden. Now, ARISE MY HELPERS TO.... um, well, HELP ME....
MST THIS THING!
Sephiroth: What am _I_ doing here?
Cloud Strife: Well, according to the summoning spell he chanted, I'm
guessing, we're here to MST this thing.
Vincent Valentine: Appropriate that someone from FF7 should be here
during this, but why were WE chosen?
A-kun: It's a random thing. You three just happened to be chosen.
Sephiroth: Why should I go through with this?
A-kun: Because I know where you keep your porn collection and I'm two
digits from dialing up my sister to take them hostage.
Sephiroth: [glaring at the Author] I must ponder as to who here is truly
evil.
A-kun: Let's just say I'm beating you by nineteen points.

A-kun: Go, Myrriden! [waves a flag]
Here's the second chapter. C&C welcome and appreciated. Don't
expect
no3
Sephiroth: There is such a thing as a # symbol that could replace 'no'.
to come out quite as quick. For a _much_ better copy, go to

A-kun: A much better copy of #3 of Such A Change?
---------------
Final Fantasy VII;
Such a change
By myrriden
Cloud: Why doesn't he capitalize his own name?
A-kun: [shrugs] Not everyone does that. Just look at Undocumented
Features, they refer to each other as jtruss, q, gryphon, megazone and
such.
--------------
Chapter 2
Sephiroth shook his silver mane clear of the rain,"C'mon, dad! I'll be
fine!"
Cloud: [growls and his eyes flare more so that usual] What's HE doing
here?
A-kun: This is a story that Myrriden started. [recaps them on the
previous chapter]
Vincent: [blinking] You mean, _I_ raise Sephiroth instead of Hojo and
Shinra?
Sephiroth: That'll be-[notices A-kun's glare]-.... [sweatdropping and
speaking through clenched teeth] Delightful.
"Shinra is still searching for us, Sephiroth. If we stay in Gongaga,
they
are certain to find us." Vincent looked over his shoulder uncertaintly.
Vincent: This is intriguing. I did wonder what my life would be like
had I stayed alive.
His eyes drifted over the open field. "Vincent," he heard to his left,
turned and saw an old friend. Johnathan Strife. A visitor from
Nibelheim.
Cloud: Who's he?
A-kun: Maybe your father?
Cloud: ..... You know, I can't remember much about him.
"I have the information you needed. Tseng is the leader of the Turks
now.
Korrie retired permenently...her son Reeve is due for a promotion any
time
now." He grinned. "Old man Shinra really likes him."
Sephiroth: [singing] Oooooollllllddddd Maaaaaannnnnn
Riiiivvverrrrrrrrrr!
"Aw, you're too worried about me dad." Sephiroth smirked, making the
bright green eyes glitter, "I could take anything Shinra threw at
me...well except the Turks, o' course!"
Vincent: He's rather..... peppy........... That's frightening. I
would've thought I would scare the lad into a more docile form. After
all, I do tend to be rather intimidating.
"Tseng always was the fool," Vincent returned. "How is your wife, now,
John? She is with child, so I've heard."
Cloud: [Sephiroth] Daddy, what does "Knocking Boots 'Till Six o'clock"
mean?
Vincent: [Vincent] Never you mind! And _STOP_ watching MTV!
"Of course," Vincent smiled, covering himself fully with the red cloak.
Vincent: I see my fashion sense still hasn't changed.
"I
still have yet to see why you fight with such a primitive weapon,
Sephiroth."
A-kun: [Vincent] Come on, son, give it up. Using stones to pelt
creatures to death is stupid. Just pick up this club and beat the $#it
out of the damn thing.
Vincent: Unlike Cid, I do not care to swear. And I hate it when I get a
bad rhyme.
Sephiroth: About _time_. Hehehehehe...
"Marusume?" Sephiroth asked, clanking the long blade against his broad
shoulder.
Cloud: [Sephiroth] WAI, SAUCER, HURRAI HURRAI!
Sephiroth: I do not appreciate being made the object of ridicule, Cloud,
or being used to make an obscure referrence to Dragon Half. Knock it
off or I'll have to take drastic action.
Cloud: [brandishing Ultima Weapon] You wanna try and stop me?
A-kun: [flaring with an aura that causes magical ripples to extend
throughout the theater before speaking in his demonic voice] _SIT_ _THE_
HELL_ _DOWN_ _OR_ _FACE_ _THE_ _PENALTY_!!
[Sephiroth "EEEP"s and vanishes while the heroes move a few seats
down.]
Sephiroth: [whispering to Vincent] Any idea of what he might've used?
Vincent: [whispering back] I don't know, but probably the SI-ken.
[Sephiroth thinks of what the SI-ken might do and shudders
uncontrollably.]
A-kun: [still flaring his aura and using his demonic voice] _DO_ _WE_
_HAVE_ _PRETZELS_ _AND_ _POP_?
[Vincent runs out of the room, then returns with pretzels and soda pop.
And notices A-kun is back to normal.]
A-kun: Thanks Vincent.
Vincent: [after a moment of thought] D'OH!!
"'Cause I like it." He sighed suddenly. "At least let me say bye
to Zack, alright?"
Cloud: But, Zack is MY age and Sephiroth has to be at least seven years
older than me!
A-kun: Your point being? I've been friends with Seniors in high school
when I was just starting middle school.
John laughed, "Yup. Our first kid. It's kinda funny, because our
friends
next door, the Lockhearts, are gonna have a kid too. How's Sephiroth?
He's
eight now, right?"
A-kun: [Vincent] Yeah, breast-feeding was a bitch, tho-*BLAM* OW! [rubs
a bruise on his left arm]
Vincent: [sweating as he looks at his Death Penalty rifle] That
should've killed him... but it didn't......eeeep....
"Alright," Vincent relented, "But be back as soon as possible, son. I
want
to seek refuge with Bugenhagen. He was a very good friend of my
father's."
Vincent: I know Bugenhagen, but I hadn't even heard of him before the
whole End of the World thing.
"I'll be back soon, dad." The silver haired boy flashed a grin. Vincent
laughed too,
A-kun: I'm getting confused. Vincent seems to be holding a conversation
on two different subjects.
and sat down in a dry patch of grass underneath a canvas.
Sephiroth ran towards Zacks house, surprising the young black-haired
boy.
Sephiroth: [Zack] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! DON'T DO THAT,
YOU SILVER-HAIRED SONOVABIT- oh, hi mom!
Though Zack was at least eight years younger than the seventeen
-year-old
boy,
A-kun: Um, but you just said a while ago that Sephiroth was eight, how
could he be seventeen? And if Zack is eight years younger, wouldn't he
be a baby?
they were both good friends, Zack surprisingly mature, but very fun,
while Sephiroth was a bit childish in some ways.
Cloud: Yeah, still wants to take baths with his little rubber ducky.
Sephiroth: [clenching his teeth] CLOUD...
Cloud: [gangsta voice] You want I should tell the GodAuthor?
Sephiroth: [clenching one hand to hold another] MUST...... CONTROL......
FIST... OF... DEATH!
Three months later, Vincent recieved word his young friend was killed
by
the Turks for giving information to him.
Sephiroth: Those bumpkins couldn't find their own asses, let alone find
out what information was given to who.
Vincent: [holding his Death Penalty to Sephiroth's right temple] *AHEM*.
Sephiroth: {sweatdropping] Present company and friends excluded, of
course. [muttering under his breath] Rotten no good sons of Negaverse
Monkeys.
Young Zack was an absolute terror amongst the young girls, a tremendous
flirt, along with his feats with the older, more handsome silver haired
boy, making him a bit famous. "Hey, Seph! Whatcha doin' here, I thought
ya
had t' leave with y'er pop!"
Sephiroth: Ah, Zack, one of the most energetic and brave young men I
ever had the pleasure of killing by throwing them through a door to hit
a ceiling pipe at just the right angle to crush every bone in his body,
sending numerous shards into his lungs, heart, and various other vital
organs.
Cloud: You mean you've done it before?
Sephiroth: No, in fact, Zack was the first person I ever did that to.
But, there were many after him.
"I came back to say goodbye, Zack," Sephiroth chuckled. He grabbed the
boy's head, and ruffled the hair. "I'll miss you good buddy, but you
can
be sure I'll be back, y'hear?"
Sephiroth: [Sephiroth] Here, shake. [Zack shakes only to find that
Sephiroth has cast Lit3 *BZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAARKKKK* *THUD*]
Vincent: [Stan] Oh my gawd! You killed Zack!
Cloud: [Kyle] You BASTARD!
"Ya betta beleive it, big guy!" The kid grinned. "I'll be sure an'
count
th' days til' y'er back." They slapped hands in the town handshake. "Ya
take good care o' that swords o' yours, man. Pop gots a sword he wants
t'
pass down t' me, so I respect them swords y'know."
A-kun: [sung to the tune 'Them Bones'] Them swords, them swords, them
good swords, them swords them swords, them good swords, them swords,
them swords, them good swords...
Sephiroth and Cloud: SWORDS ARE GOOD, ALL-PURPOSE WEAPONS!!
"Marusume is honored by your concern, little friend." Sephiroth smiled,
about to continue, when a man ran up shouting.
Cloud: [man] Quick, we have to kill the boy!
Vincent: [bystander] How'd you know he was the son of Evil?
Cloud: [man] He's the son of Evil? AAAAAAAH!
[Sephiroth growls]
"Vincent! The Turks are coming! You had better head out before they get
here!"
Sephiroth: Why are they telling ME this?
A-kun: Dunno. Maybe you wail like a warning siren when endangered.
Sephiroth snarled, and ran back to his father, who had already grabbed
the
packs. "Come, boy. Let's get out of here."
Vincent: [Vincent] It's time we go somewhere new!
Cloud: [Sephiroth] Where's that?
Vincent: [Vincent] The land of freedom!
Cloud: [Sephiroth] America?
Vincent: [Vincent] Are you kidding? I'm talking about Jusenkyo, boy!
The both started racing down
the path, avoidng the blue coated figures ambling easily down the path
towards the reactor.
A-kun: [blue-coated figure #1] Hey, are we supposed to be Shinra
soldiers? [blue-coated figures #2] Don't know. [blue-coated figure #3]
I believe we are. [blue-coated figure #4] Nah, you're crazy! We're
well-dressed thugs!
Vincent snapped the buggy on
Vincent: [blinking] Boy, I got strong really quick!
Cloud: That's not what they meant.
Vincent: I know, heh!
A-kun: I'm curious as to when you guys got a buggy.
Vincent: Ancient Turk Secret.
A-kun: GRRRRRRR!
while Sephiroth threw the bags into the
trunk.
Sephiroth: I despise manual labor. I prefer to phase in and out,
dropping parts of Jenova as I go.
Two sets of doors slammed in unison, and they were off.
All: [as J. Random Extras rambling] Hey! Hi! Where are we going? Are we
there yet? I GOTTA GO! Can I have some candy? My underwear is bunching
up! YOUR ELBOW IS DRIVING INTO MY KIDNEY! Sorry! I need a flu shot!
OOooOOOh! _DAIRY QUEEN_!!! Why do you have my underwear on your head?
Who stole my GameToy (TM)?! Wedgie! AAAAAAH!
Counter-backhand-to-the-groin! Must-break-free,
have-date-with-Turkish-Twins!!!
After a few hours of silence, Sephiroth ventured a question. "Dad, why
are
we running away from Shinra?"
A-kun: [Vincent] Because they're this world's equivalent of the IRS.
Cloud: [Vincent] We've spent eight to seventeen years on the run and you
JUST decided to ask?
Vincent: [Vincent] Uh, uh, no speake Englishe!
Sephiroth: [Vincent] They want to force me to learn.... DISCO DANCING!!
A-kun: [Vincent] Six words: Me, Pee, Drink, President of Shinra. Put it
together.
Cloud: [Vincent] They're jealous because _I've_ got the best gun!
Vincent: [Vincent] Well, you see, it all goes back to when I was about
your age and I found out about the wonderful worlds of Revenge, Itching
Powder, and Jock-Straps....
Sephiroth: [Vincent] Four words: World's Best Porn Star.
Vincent was quiet for several minutes. "It's because they want you,
Sephiroth. In their eyes you're an experiment that needs to be taken
care
of. They want to draft you into Soldier, fill you with Jenova cells,
make
a monster out of you essentially.
Sephiroth: But, Hojo's experiment already did the second part...
Vincent: Apparently, I don't know about what Hojo's experiment was....
and I did, according to the earlier chapter, where Lucrecia told me what
Hojo wanted to do.
The battle with Mary was brief. "Why, Vincent? You're betraying
everything
you...we beleive in!"
A-kun: Who won? What's going on?! HOW DID MARY GET THERE?!? DETAILS,
MAN, DETAILS!!
"You already know how powerful you are, Sephiroth. But they don"t care
about _you_. They care only about maintaining control, no matter what,
through you.
Cloud: They know that only you.... can make the perfect ice sculputor.
"Lucrecia's son is in there, Mary," he said coldly, frightening her
with
the unknown passion in his voice. "I have to save him."
Sephiroth: [Baby Sephiroth] Waaah, waaah, screw you! HAHAHAHAAA!
"I'm running from them because I don't want to see you killed. The body
might live, but the person within would wither away and die. I can't
let
that happen, but we aren't powerful enough to fight."
Cloud: Ever heard of something called a 'Limit Break'? Or 'Materia'?
These things tend to equal odds quickly.
Vincent: Cloud, you forget that Shinra would no doubt send their best
soldiers. Maybe even a few members of SOLDIER.
Her death was quick. Vincent continued on to the clinic where the babe
was
kept. Scientists scattered as he moved, his dark eyes frightening them
into an inch of their lives.
Sephiroth: Hey, that's my schtick!
It was an answer much more complex than the usual, "I'll tell you when
you're older." Provoking unwelcome thoughts in his mind. "Dad?" Vincent
looked over at him. "Why? Why do they want me? What's so special about
me?"
Cloud: [Vincent] You could pee ten feet when you were a baby. Think of
the possibilities if you were to be a Porn Star!
A-kun: Okay, okay, enough with the Porn Star bit.
His little green eyes sparkled with joy when Vincent came into his
sight.
Vincent and Sephiroth: BLEAH!!
Cloud: I don't think that's what Myrriden was thinking of, you guys.
Vincent: Still.... BLEAH!
A-kun: Guys, stop that. At least you aren't in a Yaoi lemon...
Cloud: A-kun, stop trying to help.
A-kun: That's right, you and Sephy-chan were in one.
Sephiroth: [growing in size] _DON'T_ _CALL_ _ME_ _SEPHY-CHAN_!!!
A-kun: [growing even larger] ___DON'T___ ___TRY___ ___TO___ ___ORDER___
___ME___ ___AROUND___ ___OR___ ___TRY___ ___TO___ ___OUTDO___
___ME___!!!!!!!!! [shrinking back to normal] Besides, a lot of your
fans refer to you as Sephy-chan. Primarily, the ladies.
Sephiroth: [reducing back to normal as well and blinking] They do? Oh,
well that's fine, then.
He gurgled so beautifully, and held out his tiny arms, as if waiting to
be
taken from this cold sterile room. Small strands of hair, silver from
the
looks, curled around. In spite of himself, he smiled at the child, who
gazed back, his eyes only holding love for the man who scared so many
others.
Cloud: Nice work. And I think I've got the hang of this. Myrriden is
flipping back and forth in time. A memory of the past and the current
present.
A single tear tracked its way down Vincent's cheek, and then the two
were
gone.
Vincent: [blinking] We exploded? [thinks for a bit, then realizes] Oh,
we just left.
Vincent breathed deeply, "Do you really want to know, son? This will
hurt..."
Vincent: [Vincent] But, I'm going to have to give you the attack that
was used on me. It's the most powerful one in all of the Shinra
arsenal.
Cloud: [Sephiroth] I'm ready, dad!
Vincent: [Vincent] ATOMIC WEDGIE!!!
"I have to know, dad. If I'm to fight Shinra, I have know everything,
so
they can't pull any surprises on me."
A-kun: [Sephiroth] Like tell me I'm their favorite and give me lots of
candy and tell me they like me best and that they're going to take me to
FRANCE!
Vincent saw the gun appear in Hojo's hand, and jerked away, feeling the
bullet sting past his abs, pulling a strip of meat and muscle with it.
Sephiroth: [Vincent] Dammit, Hojo! I wanted to EAT that Beef Jerky!
With an almost feral snarl, he slammed his own gun into Hojo's
stomache,
then gave a powerful strike to his head.
Vincent: [blinking] Apparently, my gun can become a club.
Hojo flew back, grunted once, and
saw Vincent standing above him, gun aimed.
All: [waving flags wildly] KILL HIM! KILL HIM! KILL HIM! KILL HIM!
Vincent sighed, slowing the car,
Vincent: First it was a buggy, now it's a car. They aren't the same
thing, Myrriden. Cars can't usually cross rivers, unless they're REALLY
shallow or dried up.
and pulling over. "Sephiroth, I'm not
your father."
Sephiroth: [Sephiroth] Does that mean I'm from a planet called Krypton
and I'm going to grow to be a mild-mannered reporter as well as a
superhero?
Vincent: [Vincent] Hell no!
Sephiroth: [Sephiroth] DAMN!
His deep eyes glittered unexpectantly, "But you are the son
of the woman I loved dearly. She was a scientist through and through.
But
she was so special, and beautiful...her laugh was like rain on jewels,
if
you can imagine that, Sephiroth. Her eyes were bright as the sun, to
bright and beautiful to stare at for to long. Her face radiated peace
and
happiness, and it seemed she was never unhappy.
A-kun: [Vincent] She was feeling a bit down when she became tormented
with eternal life and eternal pain, but otherwise, she's fine.
"Lucrecia died in your ungodly experiment HOJO!
A-kun: Um, Myrriden, she's still alive. The Jenova Cells in her system
won't let her die so easily. She'll just be tormented with eternal pain
until someone kills her.
I _knew_ I should never
have allowed her to do this! But science was her passion, and I felt it
my
duty to aid her any way possible!" The hand was shaking badly now. But
you
used that against her! You used her trust...her _faith_ in you!" The
hand
clenched, spitting up dust behind the badly frightened scientist.
Another
round clicked into the barrel, so loud in the sudden silence.
All: WHOOOOOO!! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!
"Hojo...a man I hated more than anything, took advantage of her love
for
science. I don't know everything, but I do know he took his own, and
your
mothers genetic material, implanted it with Jenova cells, then put them
in
Lucrecia's womb. During the pregnancy, they constantly implanted new
Jenova cells into her, as well as forced Mako showers on her.
Vincent: Um, she'd be glowing plaid by the end of the week. And if they
already had done that, Sephiroth wouldn't NEED anything additional to
join SOLDIER.
Finally Hojo spoke, "We were both scientists, Turk. If she had bred
with
you, it would have been an abomination unto the world. But our child
was
perfect. Intellegent, with her strength...you'll never have it, nor the
pleasure!"
A-kun: _EXCUSE_ _ME_, Hojo, but you aren't exactly the picture of a
stable man. Vincent here is a better choice. If she and Vincent had
the child, it probably would've been even better. Not to mention that
you're referring to her like a Chocobo. You don't BREED with women.
"Then she gave birth to you, Sephiroth. Hojo, always thinking of you as
an
experiment, didn't even care that Lucrecia died in the childbirth. He
told
me that sacrifices must be made. I told him, as I killed him, that I
would
never allow the child Lucrecia died to bare to grow in his evil hands.
I
stole you away, and raised you as my son. The way it was _meant_ to
be."
Vincent: No, this is a much better world.
Sephiroth: Yes, I must agree. Hojo's idea of 'fatherly instinct'
consisted of drinking until noon, peeing off the side of Shinra HQ, and
telling me about the prostitutes that wouldn't do him for less that
eight times their normal price.
Vincent: [O_O] And he did that often?
Sephiroth: Seemed like every other day.
He died grinning, what was left of his head, that is.
All: YES!!! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!
"Lucrecia died for that child, and I will be damned if I allow it to be
raised in your evil hands." Vincent snapped the gun into its holster.
"Sephiroth...is Lucrecia's son, not yours, Hojo. He will be raised by a
man who can love him for that.
Cloud: Nice speech, Vincent.
He risked a glance at Spehiroth, who was breathing heavily and
clenching
his sword.
Sephiroth: That's "SEPHIROTH", not "SPEHIROTH"! I'm more than a little
edgy because of the number of people who mispell it.
"I never expected to, but I eventually grew to care for you as
much if not more, then I cared for your mother. Your eyes, so like
hers.
Bright with excitment and mischeiviousness, silver hair, so intellegent
and quick.
Cloud: [Vincent] Yeah, you caught on to that Santa Claus thing pretty
quick.
Sephiroth: What about Santa Claus?
Cloud: .........
"I swear on your soul, Lucrecia," Vicent closed the library door, "I
swear
that child will become a man proud of his destiny...he will be a
blessing
to this world.
Sephiroth: As fun as evil is, I would like to know how I would've turned
out had I been good.
"Yet also so kind open and caring about people you've never even
known."
Vincent's head thumpd against the back of the truck. "I'm sorry I lied
to
you all these years, Sephiroth. It was wrong of me, but I had to...I
couldn't let Shinra destory the son I've come to love."
A-kun: Nice work, but you mispelled 'Thumped'. And the buggy turned
into a truck?
"He'll make you proud, Lucrecia my love. He'll make you so proud.
Cloud: Not like the scum bag who's sitting next to me.
Sephiroth: Let's see anyone else pull off what I did. I evaded Shinra,
was enough of a threat to activate the Weapons, manipulated a being
thousands of years older than me to do my bidding and making it think it
was in charge, required a Mako Cannon to be fired at me, almost finished
summoning Meteor and nearly destroyed the world in one fell swoop. All
in less than a year.
"Y'know," Sephiroth grated out, teeth and eyes clenched together in
obvious pain, "I like it better when you call me son." He let loose a
breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding,
[Cloud takes in a deep breath.]
Cloud:
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLCCCCH!!!!
"You're my dad, you raised
me. Raised me to honor my mom's memory...If Shinra betrayed her, then
Shinra is my enemy. No revenge, dad...but if they ever get in my way,
I'll
kill each and every one of those bastards."
Sephiroth: Alas, even I could not do that. And I had wanted to kill
that damn weasel Palmer for years.
"Because, I know, Lucrecia, he has made me proud."
A-kun: Ah, Vincent, I never knew you were a such a softy!
Vincent: Do not make me Limit-Break your ass.
A-kun: As if any could hurt me. I'M the one who can wield the Chaos
shield. Not even your Satan Slam or Chaos Saber strikes in your most
powerful form could harm me.
"You honor, me Se...son...more than I deserve."
Cloud: Don't need that comma.
"Feh..." Sephiroth stared out the window. "I owe you a lot. Can you
imagine what I would be if you hadn't raised me? I'd...never know a
father's love. All I would know would be anger and resentment. That
thought...makes me hurt inside."
Sephiroth: HEY! Stop analyzing me!
"We're almost there." Within his musing, Sephiroth hadn't noticed
Vincent
start the car and begin drving once more.
"Gotcha, dad."
Sephiroth: [Sephiroth] WEDGIE!

Lost World of Ryouga
A-kun: Not bad, Myrriden. Some problems with the constant switching
back and forth, so you might wanna compress it into a larger flashback
to prevent confusing the readers, but keep the mini-thoughts as they
are.
Sephiroth: Now that the fanfic is over, may we go?
A-kun: Fine, ya wee pansy.
Sephiroth: [as he vanishes] Still, it makes one think.
Cloud: Hey, can you send us back? Unlike Sephiroth, we can't teleport
or phase through the dimensions.
A-kun: Fine, fine... [Cloud and Vincent vanish.] There. Well, good to
see the second part, Myrriden. This story has quite a bit of potential,
though I have to inquire as to how far you're going to take this.
