I HOLD NO CLAIM TO ANY OF THE ORIGINAL FINAL FANTASY 7 CHARACTERS! NOTHING! :(

Prologue

It was an epic tale: a battle for the planet's survival.

The sprawling metropolis of Midgar had become the world's center. Mako, a seemingly unlimited source of energy, supplied power to everyone. This energy source was developed and monopolized by an entity known as the ShinRa Electric Power Company, which covered the surface of the planet with energy distribution facilities called Mako Reactors. ShinRa had grown into a malevolent industry with incontestable economic power, as well as a tyrannical hand in politics.

Unknown 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 towards its imminent demise.

~Crisis Core~

Jeanne Rush, one of only two women ever accepted into SOLDIER, never thought once about the work she and her partner, Zack Fair, were told to do for ShinRa. Not until those she cared about started to turn on them.

Genesis Rhapsodos, a man that she saw as her Uncle or an older brother, turned on ShinRa for reasons unknown and led secret experiments. This led to the death of Angeal Hewley and the beginning of Jeanne's hatred of ShinRa.

During these events, Sephiroth and Sienna searched for the truth to their existence and what they found changed everything. Hatred for everyone and everything spread through them both and they attacked, burning Nibelheim to the ground. Jeanne and Zack tried to stop them, Cloud and Claire as well, but they were not strong enough to kill them. Instead, Sienna and Sephiroth just disappeared, leaving the four of them to the hands of a mad scientist.

For five years they were locked in experiments before breaking loose and running free only to find that Genesis was still wreaking havoc. Stepping forward to stop him, Zack and Jeanne succeeded. Their plan was to return to Midgar and retrieve loved ones from ShinRa but they never reached it together. Zack sacrificed himself to save Jeanne and the twins from ShinRa, resulting in a loss of a hero that none of them would ever forget…

~Final Fantasy 7~

Jeanne Rush, an ex-SOLDIER, agreed to cooperate with AVALANCHE, an anti-

ShinRa group taken over by Barret Wallace. Though Jeanne had a strong idea of what would happen she never expected it to go as far as it all did.

Many gathered around Jeanne, besides Barret, drawn to her and her struggle.

Cloud and Claire Strife- A set of twins that Jeanne took under her wing after the events of Nibelheim.

Tifa Lockheart- A friend of the Strife Twins and a woman that Jeanne had met during the events of Nibelheim; a master of Martial Arts.

Aerith Gainsborough- A woman with the blood of the Ancients running through her veins; someone that Jeanne would never forgive…nor forget.

Red Xlll- The last member of a race that lived alongside the planet and protected it with pride.

Cait Sith- A fortune-telling robot whose true identity was Reeve Tuesti, a spy from ShinRa that Jeanne had known.

Yuffie Kisaragi- A young ninja gathering Materia to restore her homeland to its former glory.

Cid Highwind- A renowned pilot destined to be the world's first astronaut.

Renee Sivil- Cid's mechanic and companion, as well as Yuffie's aunt.

Vincent Valentine- whose body was twisted by a man ShinRa scientist and made to sleep for thirty years as he haunted the dreams of Claire.

Zeke Fair- A young man that was looking for revenge against his cousin, Zack's, death.

Myra Zoon- An archeologist and Zeke's boss, a woman looking for the secrets of the Ancients.

Jena Rush- Jeanne's older sister who had changed sides from the Turks to help her sister bring peace.

Despite the pain it brought, Jeanne lead this stalwart band into a battle against Sephiroth and Sienna, a man and woman intent on destroy the entire planet, and also the pair that Jeanne and her sister saw as their parents.

Sephiroth and Sienna, once members of SOLDIER themselves, were once legendary warriors who brought the Rush sisters in from Junon, giving them lives that they wouldn't have found on the streets. Created through ShinRa's Jenova Project both of their powers greatly surpassed that of any mere human. At one time in history, they were revered by all as heroes, but on the fateful day they discovered the secrets behind their births, they set Nibelheim ablaze and disappeared without a trace. As they vanished, Sienna and Sephiroth vowed to one day become rulers of the planet.

Several years later, they reappeared and initiated their plan to summon a wayward star from the Cosmos and smash it into the surface of the planet, using the ultimate destructive magic, Meteor. Aerith learned of the danger to the planet and took Jeanne with her, preparing to use Holy, a sacred magic of the Ancients, to stop Meteor. However, she was felled by Sephiroth's blade, Masamune.

Overcoming sorrow and despair, Jeanne and her companions finally managed to defeat Sephiroth and Sienna, 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, Aerith's dying prayers were finally answered and Holy rose against the wicked magic. However, it was far too late and nothing could stop the awesome strength of Meteor. At that moment when all seemed lost, the Lifestream appeared all synchronized with Holy, enveloping Meteor along with the entire planet…

~Advent Children~

The legendary heroics of Jeanne Rush and her party will never be completely forgotten, but like all memories good and bad, their tale has faded with time. However, it has taken more than time to undo the damage wrought by the ShinRa Company and Sephiroth and Sienna. The survivors of Midgar have rebuilt their lives in the city of Edge, located on the outskirts of the ruined metropolis. Although the Lifestream is slowly replenishing itself deep underground, all is not well on the surface.

Nearly two years later, Jeanne, Claire, and Tifa are getting ready for the wedding between Tifa and Zeke when they are attacked by a trio of women. Not too long after Zeke and Cloud are attacked by another trio of men. The delivery boy had been hiding from the others, feeling guilty still for the deaths of Zack and Aerith and succumbed to the disease known as Geostigma, but while he hid his sister, Claire, and Jeanne were also cured with the Jenova Cells but stayed strong, taking care of the other Geostigma victims, most of them being children.

Soon after both attacks, Jeanne and Claire meet with Rufus ShinRa, as well as Jena and the rest of the Turks(save Tseng and Elena), they learn that the group of six is led by a man named Kadaj and a woman named Karina, who seek the remains of Jenova. With the six of the group, they wish to use Jenova to resurrect Sephiroth and Sienna and finish the destruction of the planet. Kadaj begins by taking all the Geostigma-infected children to the Forgotten City of the Ancients.

Cloud and Claire head off after them to bring back the children. However, they fail and end up being rescued by an old friend, Vincent Valentine, making Cloud's self-doubt spiral downwards even more…

It isn't until Jeanne knocks some sense into him, during the battle with the colossal dragon Bahamut SIN that Cloud comes to his senses. The members of the group from two years ago were all joining together to enjoy Tifa and Zeke's wedding and instead found themselves in a battle against the summon that Zeke and Jeanne bring down. With spirits restored, Cloud follows after Jeanne with his sister to track down Kadaj and Karina. A fierce battle ensues and stretches across Midgar, finally taking place in Aerith's church. Inside, Cloud and Claire are healed of their Geostigma when water infused with the power of the Lifestream appears from below the church and falls upon them like gentle rain but Jeanne is left to suffer the Stigma even more as the rain seemed to make it even worse on her…

The trio give chase after Kadaj and Karina, where they are soon joined by Jeanne's sister, Jena, and the four of them have the battle shift into their favor…until Kadaj and Karina shift to the forms of Sephiroth and Sienna. This battle formed harsher than the previous one from two years ago and expanded all across Midgar. Jena and Claire are both quickly knocked from the battle, leaving Cloud and Jeanne to hold their own against the two tortured spirits.

But at the final moment, Jeanne finds herself unable to kill the woman that she had always seen as her mother and drops her sword, giving Sienna the chance to leave. However, Sienna takes the passage to jump in the way of Cloud's Omnislash to Sephiroth and takes a fatal blow to protect her loved one. Sephiroth and Sienna revert back to Kadaj and Karina; Kadaj was at the edge of death while Karina had already taken the tumble over. Aerith's spirit once again appears and releases a healing rain across the land that cures the Geostigma plague.

At the feel of hands touching her, Jeanne is left with the feeling that her mother is still with her, giving her a sense of peace and relief of the guilt from killing her.

~Dirge of Cerberus~

Three long years have passed since the first events of Meteor…

The Comet had left a tremendous scar on the Planet. The once green land withered and the radiant light of Mako vanished. The calamity known as Meteorfall would never be forgotten by anyone who lived through that fateful day.

In the midst of this tragedy, people worked to help one another, and the world slowly began to rise from the ashes of decay and decimation.

Just as things began to stabilize, an ominous event transpired in Junon. In the course of a single night, a large number of people disappeared without a trace. News of this mass disappearance carried swiftly across the globe and spawned rampant speculation.

At the heart of Meteor's attack on the plant, Midgar had sustained most of the damage and was no longer a place for man to dwell. However, records were uncovered 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.

Vincent Valentine is summoned to the celebration by Reeve Tuesti, an old comrade who fought by his side three years ago in the struggle against Sienna and Sephiroth.

As festive participants fill the streets and celebration envelopes the town, a mysterious group of soldiers attack without warning. People all over the town are gunned down or captured by these unidentified invaders. Vincent bears witness to the tragedy unfolding around him and leaps into action. What he doesn't know is that these soldiers are also looking for him…and an old friend named Claire Strife…
