Tsubasa: Mysterious Version

I realized after watching Final Fantasy: Advent Children yet again that the original Turks are still alive. (So Reno and Rude did not die from the bomb, and Kadaj did not murder Elena and Tseng after all. "Duh!"

Captured

"Phoenix Shard, huh?" She looked at her gloved hand and remembered the time when she and the others first found that strange Materia. "It felt weird when I touched it… almost as if I had bonded with it."

"Yeah, right," said Reno. "That damn thing is too big to bond with. It's so abnormal that no one on the planet can install it on their bodies."

She glared at him. "I know what I felt, you jerk."

Reno smirked. "Whoohoo. Getting a little snappy there. You don't even have the ability to use magic anyway, so this discussion is useless."

"It's a good thing the World Regenesis Organization didn't get to it first," said Rude, straightening his tie. "Shinra wouldn't be back in business if they did. And we all would have small paychecks right now."

Within a Shinra Laboratory

Surrounded by tons of machinery—computers and robotic instruments and laser-scanning devises automatically examined Sakura and Mokona. Beyond a large rectangular window stood a watchful scientist and the Turk named Tseng.

"It would seem that the energy signatures within the Pheonix Shard and that girl are similar. Inn fact, I would say they are identical."

"And what about that strangely mutated moogle?" said Tseng.

"That creature, for one, is not a moogle. Secondly, it appears to be more linked to that dimensional anomaly our global scanners detected yesterday. I would even say that this creature is the source of it."

"Could they be the reason why the Phoenix Shard exists?"

"Quite possibly," said the scientist. "The Materia substance is of this world no doubt, apparently crystallized around the structure of the feature inside it, but the feather itself apparently comes from that girl."

"You mean to tell me that the feather is not from this world?"

"No," said the scientist. "Nor is she."

Tseng looked bewildered.

"Her genetic structure does not match our own. In fact, she is not compatible with the Lifestream unlike the inhabitants of out world."

"Then how is it that she exists?"

"Good question." The scientist motioned for Tseng to follow him to a computer terminal where there existed a massive wide screen. The scientist activated it, and he caused a computer-generated diagram to appear to help better explain this mystery. "As you can see her, this is the girl's body." He pointed at the flowing energy currents and said, "This is the Lifestream flowing throughout her body. Unfortunately, it does not match the Lifestream patterns as found by true inhabitants of our world." He caused another image to appear, one displaying the diagram of a Gaia inhabitant and the Lifestream flowing within him. "She is not compatible to the Lifestream, but somehow the Lifestream has adapted to her physiology. Gaia has accepted her as a resident."

Tseng's eyes narrowed with suspicion, and he turned to gaze at the girl and the little white creature within the examination chamber. "Hmmm…"
