"Veni, veni, venias, Ne me mori facias." She awoke, cold. She had been trapped in the great ice for millenia, and had woken rarely, only when the glacier above her had melted enough to bring some warmth to her, but always the ice had built up, too quickly to bring her influence against it. But this time...this time, the warmth was brought on by a living being. She conducted a quick probe of the being's mind, and discovered that it was an intelligent creature, with organized thoughts. Such a mind she had not felt for ages unspeakabe, when the Cetra had banished her from their land and their kind, to be entombed in the glacier to the north, near the crater that had appeared when she had ridden the meteor down from the stars, and brought down destruction from the skies upon them. But thinking of past matters was no use now. She scanned the creature's thoughts again, and learned that it was searching for artifacts left behind by the Cetra. Pitiful thing, really. It hardly seemed to be worth the effort it would require to attract its attention. But still, she needed to be free, to glorify in her body once more, free of the ice, free to taste the wind, to feast upon the minds of those she brought under her power. Bringing the tatters of her magical abitities to her, she sent out a spell of calling, and waited. "Karyuu no kane kata" Professor Gast gave a cry of triumph when he saw a shape on his Shin-Ra brand archaeological finder. His search for artifacts left behind by the Cetra had been fruitless, and he desperately needed to find something, as Shin-Ra was about to cut his funding. And here, before his bespectacled eyes, was what seemed to be a vast treasure trove of items, only a kilometer or so to the west of his camp. He quickly stuffed a lighter, wood, a brush, pick, and shovel into a knapsack, pulled on his coat, and strapped on his snowshoes. He told his assistant that he would be back in a while, and left the camp, rushing toward his find. Soon he was at the site, and he lit a fire above the main deposit, to melt the ice. He had not long to wait. "Estuans interius Ira vehementi." She felt the heat of the fire her being had lit, and exulted in the fact that soon she would be free of her arctic prison. She sent out a thought to the creature, subconsiously suggesting that a little more wood couldn't hurt. The thing obeyed her command, and the fire drew nearer. Gast piled more wood upon the fire, fervently hoping that the blaze would not harm his find. he was able to see a reddish-blue, and brown mass in the thickness of the ice, and his exitement rose as he thought of what might be in his dicovery. Gold? Jewels? Perhaps it was a frozen Cetra! Heaven only knew. After a short time, Gast saw that a bit of something organic-looking was poking out through the ice. At first he tought it was leather or wood, but then...but then it...twitched. He gave a little cry of terror, then common sense took over. Surely, the motion had been caused by gravity, pulling down that which had been frozen for aeons. He moved the burning wood into a circle around his find, so the flames wouldn't damage his precious specimen. Then he waited. She felt the being's terror, then calmness. It seemd that this thing was more intelligent than she had thought at first, if it had worried about its new 'specimen'...although the flames would not hurt her. After centuries of freezing cold, she had built up a resistance to extreme temperatures. She settled in for a long wait. Hours passed. The flames gradually melted the ice, until a pillar of it rose forty feet into the frigid air, in a deep pool. Gast could see that this thing was, or once had been, a living thing. Obviously, it was one of the Cetra. At last! A specimen worth the years he had spent on his search! And what a wonderful being it was...huge and treelike, it towered above him, and he could see the limbs, the head, all of it! The DNA samples Shin-Ra wanted would be theirs, and his colleagues, Lucretia and Hojo, would be pleased with the tissue samples they had to work with. Perhaps...perhaps they could clone this creature, and have countless specimens to use at their leisure... There was no time to waste. He set a beacon, and skied back to his camp to radio for assistance in moving his priceless find. She felt the saw cut beneath her, narrowly missing her. She was picked up, and lifted into the air, and taken to a strange white room, full of gleaming steel instruments. A needle was inserted, and she felt a small part of her be taken away for analysis. She was placed in a large, warm room, to thaw. Such warmth she had not felt for ages, and she motionlessly stood, basking in the dull red light of the heater units. Then she was carted back into the white room, packed into a large metal container, and shipped far away, to what she knew was the west. There she was placed in a glass tank, set into a room filled with the luminecent substance that was the Planet's blood...sealed into a great chamber, over a chasm of unknowable depth, to sleep. As long as it took for the right person to come along. They alwas did. She could wait for an eternity. Her last consious thought for two years was of knowing what the small creatures called humans had engraved above the door to her prison. Now she had a name. Jenova. She fell asleep, looking at the stylized statue of her that had been mounted on the access catwalk. "Sors immanis- Et inanis" "Gast, this is amazing! Wherever did you find it?" A young, attractive woman looked at Gast, then at the specimen. It was so...so elegant. Gast had finally found one of the Cetra! "I found it in the ice fields near North Crater...it must be very old. The geological strata near it spoke of millenia, not centuries, like near the other artifacts we found..." Gast looked at his assistant. She was so beautiful, his specimen...not in the physical sense, but the mental. Here was one of the ancestors of every person on Earth! "Already, they've started their SOLDIER program..." drawled a slightly older man, to Gast's left. He was a little taller, and had black hair, tightly pulled back in a ponytail, and emphasized his high forehead, and, unfortunately, his receding hairline. He had small spectacled perched on his nose, and was hunched forward from years of sitting at a microscope, examining the cellular structure of the being they had named Jenova. He had an unholy facination with his work, spending days at his stool, not stopping to eat or even sleep. "They plan to inject the cloned cells of Jenova into their recruits, then shower them with Mako, and they think they can create the ultimate soldier..." He elaborated, "It certainly made the rats more vicious to those without the enhancement..." "Hojo. I really don't know if their useing Jenova cells on humans after only two years testing is safe...Jenova is astoundingly complex, and the cells replicate so easily...almost as if she's a virus..." The woman turned and looked nervously at the tall man, and then looked back at Jenova. "So hideous...why does Shin-Ra want better soldiers, anyway? Are they planning a war or something?" 'Lucretia, I'm not a member of the higher councils. They only ask me to come up there when they want some little bits of our friend, here..." Hojo tried to put Lucretia's fears at rest. "And if they were having a war, who would they have it against? The only people the Shin-Ra don't like are the people over to the west who're against Mako energy...what was the name...oh, yes! Wutai! And I'm sure that Shin-Ra understands. There are people in Midgar, and they don't like Mako either, and they haven't been killed, have they? Everything is perfectly fine, Lucretia." Lucretia seemed to accept Hojo's explanation, and she started looking at a small screen attached to a cable that had been inserted into Jenova's body. She evidently saw something that concerned her, for she looked up at Gast with surprise. "Gast! She's...she's...alive! She's not dead!" "What?! That's impossible! She was frozen in ice for eons! She must be dead! Nothing we know of can withstand that kind of punishment!" Gast stared at Jenova, perplexed and amazed. "Indeed. Nothing we know of can live. But Jenova is an anomaly to all of us. She is the only example we have of the Cetra. That is why we were sent here to study her. To find more about her. To see if we can improve the bodies of our soldiers. To extend our knowledge of the Earth, into the distant past. That is why we are here. Now. Let us go and have our dinner. We have been down here, half the day, and I for one am hungry!" Hojo then turned and left the room. Lucretia and Gast followed him, and as they passed through the doorway, a tall, dark man clad in a navy blue tuxedo came after them, without a look into the chamber of Jenova. His eyes were fixed on the slender form of Lucretia. How fascinated they were with her! Their little probings and samplings kept them engrossed for hours! Obviously, they were trying to learn as much about her and the time she had lived as possible...but still, they thought she was one of the Cetra! Amazing, to think that she who had endeavored to destroy that pesky race should now be thought to be one of them... Already she felt the first stirrings of life in the peices of her that the humans had injected into their soldiers...soon she would be able to manipulate them whenever she desired. For now, she would continue on with her masquerade, let them think she was dormant, and allow them to take as many samples of her as they wished. She felt that the one called Hojo was enamored of her, and he clearly spent more time around her than the others, often sneaking to the Reactor late at night, to conduct a further study. This perplexed her, as she had not exerted any force upon the being's mind to summon it to her. Now that she was in clear surroundings, she was able to feel an enimity towards her from the north. She attempted to do a scan, but was blocked. Curious, she looked into the minds of those who studied her, but they seemed to know nothing of this new menace. What if it was one of the Cetra? She had felt thier presence fade over the aeons, until a small amount of them were left. Fortunately, the few that still existed could pose no large threat to her. She did a more detailed survey, and found that only one of the Ancients was left, and was alone in the northern wastes, near the crater she had made, doing its best to heal the grievous wound the Planet had recieved. Let it wait. Soon, when she slew all these wretched humans, or held them all under her power, she could go and eliminate this last pitiful remnant of the Cetra. A year passed. Jenova felt a small amount of anger, and aroused, investigated, seeking the source. She found a growing enimity between Hojo and the one assigned to guard the scientists. Strange. This tiny conflict seemed to revolve around the female, Lucretia, concerning an emotion jenova had ever felt. Of course, the only emotions she had ever felt were hate, longing, and desire, but this new one...love, it was called. Like what Hojo felt for her. Jenova settled in to watch this struggle. Vincent Valentine of the Turks, stared at Hojo behind the shelter of the truck, monitoring him and Lucretia. How dare he! How dare Hojo lure away she who had made his life so fair, and bring back the darkness that had comsumed him! As he watched, from the meager shelter of the abandoned truck, he felt stirrings of jealousy, hate, and desire. He would stop Hojo...eventually. Anger is a dish best served cold, and Vincent knew that when he was least expecting it, Hojo could be the victim of a very nasty accident. What if a heavy piece of laboratory equipment fell on him? Lucretia would be disconsolate, and she would need a shoulder to cry on. And when she did, Vincent would be waiting. "Hojo! Guess what!" Lucretia exclaimed, as she burst into Hojo's room in the vast Shin-Ra Mansion. "I was just down to the town clinic to see why I've been sick in the mornings, and you know what he said?" "Let me guess, dear. Seeing as you've not been as nasty every month, you've had strange cravings, and have had morning sickness, it would seem that you're going to have a baby." Hojo looked at Lucretia with a small amount of interest, seemingly trying to please her. "You're right! And you know who the father must be, right?" Lucretia walked over to Hojo, and put a more-than-friendly arm around his shoulder. "Of course. Who else have you been seeing besides that worthless Vincent? And you haven't been seeing him for three months. Therefore, I must be the father." Hojo tried to look happy." Yay." "Yes! Only earlier today, I was ordinary Lucretia, and now I'm giong to make the world a better place. I want the best for our child, dear. Perhaps he'll discover the cure for cancer, or the common cold!" Lucretia closed her eyes, dreaming of a world where she was the mother of the most important person on the Planet. "Lucretia dear...I think I know how our child can be strong, smart, and worthy. With your consent of course..." Hojo brightened up, obviously having what he thought was a great idea. "You know how well the warriors who have been enhanced by the Jenova program are superior people...what if we subjected a person to Jenova and Mako IN UETERO? It can't have any adverse effects, and our child can be a super-being!" Hojo now stared at Lucretia with adoration, attempting to increase his chances for his plan. "Weeeelllll...you're right when you say that there are no side effects, other than superiority...but would it have any effects on me? I mean, what if Jenova has side effects of people who're going to have a baby?" Lucretia seemed to agree with Hojo's plan, but was also worried. "Relax, my dear! I assure you that our wonderful specimen would not harm someone as beautiful as you! She did nothing bad to the rats, right? Don't you want the best for our child?" Hojo tried to comfort Lucretia, this time with actual love. "Well. Alright...I do want the best for him. Yes. Let's do it! As soon as possible!" Lucretia leapt wholeheartedly into Hojo's plan, obviously believing everything that Hojo told her. The plan went into action almost immediately. Fresh cells were taken from Jenova, and injected into the two-month old fetus, and into the surrounding tissue of Lucretia's womb. No adverse effects were noted, and the fetus was then treated with Mako, bathing it in a cool, green-blue glow. Jenova felt the first stirrings of the fetus, and was pleased, knowing that the child would be more responsive to her commands, being subjected to her at such an early age. The months went by with great speed, and Hojo and Lucretia went to Midgar, to Shin-Ra Tower, so Lucretia could have the baby in the best medical surroundings. The little remaining time passed, and other than a few bouts of fainting while exersizing in the hospital corridors, Lucretia was fine, until she went into labor. She gave birth to her child in a cool, sterile white room, much like the one in which the Shin-Ra scientists had studied Jenova. When the child was delivered, a collective gasp of wonder went through the room. The baby had silver hair and glowing green eyes! With slitted pupils! Lucretia was informed that she had a healthy son, and she decided on a name. Sephiroth. Sephiroth was whisked away for study, and Lucretia never saw him again. She never had a chance to hold him. A few months after Sephiroth was born, Lucretia died, of a complication of stress, depression, and an unknown disease that seemed to be devouring her mind. When Sephiroth was five years old, and began playing with other children of famous and important people, such as Rufus, the son of President Shin-Ra, and a group of very close friends, Reno, Rude, Tseng, and Elena, he noticed from televison that other children had mothers, and he inquired about his own. He was told by a caregiver that his mother's name was Jenova, and she had died in childbirth. Sephiroth never asked a question about his parents again. son, he was removed from the childcare unit and began his training as a warrior under one of Shin-Ra's best soldiers. How wonderful! The small one had suceeded, in becoming a full slave! An order that she had regarded as unimportant, that of young Sephiroth's mother, had let the child believe that she was his mother! Incredibe! When he found her and released her from her prison, he would be completely obedient to her! Already, Hojo was treating his unwitting son to Mako showers and increasing amounts of her cells. And the training with the gigantic sword...how useful that would be to her, she could not guess, but she had a feeling that it would help in bringing the world under her command. And the small conflict between Vincent and Lucretia...that had ended very suddenly when he found she was with child. After she died, he ceased to care, and seemed to give in to the darkness, becoming prone to fits of deep depression. Perhaps he, too would be useful to her. Gast had gone back to the north to seek more Cetra findings, and Hojo fell farther into the fathomless abyss of mystery that surrounded her, spending more and more time in the secret room in the heart of the Mako Reactor. She decided to lie dormant for a while, and rest. Activating all those parts of her that had been placed into the bodies of the inferior beings was hard work, and though she was augumented by the other tiny consiousnesses, still, she needed sleep. Jenova slid into a period of rest. |
