8. Return of the Zack!
Zack was fast asleep on the table, dreaming about a certain girl he just met.
'...You're so cute!' The girl exclaimed ruffling his hair. He sighed as his head lay on her lap.
'I know...' He grinned placing a hand on her cheek and stroking it. She clasped his hand and leaned into his touch. He sat up still holding her and leaned towards her. She closed her eyes and leaned towards him.
'...Woo hoo! I'm gonna kiss the girl!'
"Zack, Zack wake up!"
A voice called out to him and he lazily opened his eyes, he was still in dreamland though, still about to kiss the girl. However, seeing Genesis at first sight made him scream in horror, 'Aaah! I was gonna kiss Genesis!' he tumbled off the table, unable to control his shock.
Angeal shook his head as he picked up a distraught Zack, while Sephiroth sniggered "...I told you to sort yourself out in the morning, see you've scared poor Zack"
Genesis glared "Shut up Sephiroth!"
Once Zack had overcome his initial shock, he stared at the SOLDIERS, wondering why they were in the lounge so early in the morning.
"Zack, we are going to change you back" That was all Sephiroth said as all three SOLDIERS left the lounge.
'Really, but how?'
They were sick of waiting and couldn't take it anymore! Though Zack didn't mean to; he's managed to cause same amount of chaos in Shinra in a two days than Wutai have in the years they've been at war with each other, which is really saying something.
The three 1st Classes plus Zack all entered Hojo's lab. The immediate contact with the sterile environment made all four shiver slightly. Hojo was at his desk scribbling something random on a piece of paper. Sephiroth was the first to approach him.
"Hojo you better have that cure," 'or Masamune may accidently slip from out of my hand and into your stone, cold, black heart.'
", For the sake of Shinra-" Angeal continued only to be cut off by Genesis.
"Or so help me I'll read LOVELESS all over again!" Genesis threatened? Is that even the right word?
There was silence as Angeal blinked, Sephiroth stared at Genesis, Hojo stopped writing momentarily and Zack in Angeal's arms looked at his nose.
"Kukukukuku..." Hojo laughing means it's a good thing or the professor has finally 'lost it' if he hadn't already 'lost it', that is.
"There is no need to go that far, Rhaspodos," He pushed his glasses back up and turned to face them "I have found it!" He exclaimed grinning.
'Every time Hojo grins, a puppy dies...Hold on...Does that mean' Zack gulped '...Me?'
"So?" Sephiroth asked, he was really eager, only he didn't show it.
"So, what do you want?" Hojo was grinning madly now.
Sephiroth sighed, he knew he was going to regret asking but it had to be done. "Let's get straight to point, Hojo, what is it that you want?" Sephiroth asked his voice dripping with venom.
"Kukuku, glad we see eye to eye now, Sephiroth"
Sephiroth winced slightly 'Oh believe me this situation made me hate you even more'
"So all I ask is that you 1st class undergo one experiment, no more, no less. That is all, do we have an agreement?"
Sephiroth turned to his friends "Well, do you agree?"
Zack now understanding what everyone was talking about wriggled about in Angeal's arm, catching their attention.
'Aw c'mon guys! Seriously it'll stop things going wrong around in Shinra! You know I just noticed ever since I turned into a puppy, things have been crazy here...Hmm I wonder why...'
Angeal shook his head "It's not like we have a choice."
"I despise experiments," Genesis began,
'But I despise puppies more...' Genesis looked at Zack; his eyes seem to say 'Especially you'
Then he turned to Hojo "But if this is want is needed to be done then so be it"
'Genesis wants to help me...Wow I didn't think he'd help anyone!'
Zack didn't notice the dark aura surrounding Genesis, so he smiled as thanks. This just made Genesis all the more ticked off but he didn't get to vent his anger out due to Hojo's maniacal cackling.
...1 minute of kukukukukukukuk...Etc and one attempt to assassinate Hojo later...
Zack was placed into the same pod where it went horribly wrong. The three SOLDIERs prayed that it wouldn't go horribly wrong again and Zack would not end up being some half-man, half-dog sort of being, or worse. Hojo's pressed buttons entering data of sorts before pushing the big red button.
The SOLDIERs watched on anxiously as smoke entered into Zack's pod.
'This is it...'
'...Zack...'
'...It better work...'
'...Ooh smoke...'
Zack was dreaming once again, however he was dreaming about the events that occurred since he was turned into a puppy.
(...)
Angeal discovering him, 'Well I guess I have to take care of you now, Zack Puppy'
'Even though you left me alone most of the time!'
Meeting Sephiroth and Genesis, 'Just what is that, supposed to be?'
'Sephiroth was cool! Genesis was...Bleh'
Angeal leaving him with Genesis'You be good, you hear me?'
'...Okay, I admit maybe...I might have caused a little trouble...Just a little...'
Genesis watching over him,'You are to remain in this basket like a good puppy'
'Pfft, he didn't even try to look after me!'
Being picked up by Kunsel, 'You might have heard of me, I'm Zack's buddy'
'I still don't know who you are!'
Running away from Kunsel, 'I'm not as stupid as you think I am. I know everything'
'But I knew I had to get away from you!'
Genesis finding him again'There you are! You're in big trouble when I get to you!'
'At least he came back for me and brought me food!'
Sephiroth telling him about the 'good' news, 'So I didn't expect to see a room full of, Zack puppies. I counted about 100 of them'
'...Yeah and they scared the heck out of me! But Zee was cute!'
Meeting the kid, 'Oh a puppy, I can't believe I found one!'
'He was an okay guy; he bought me back to Angeal and the others. But stuffing me in a back- pack...Oh man'
Reuniting with Angeal, again, 'Zack!'
'After that, Angeal kept an eye on me, but...'
Falling into the church in Sector 5 and meeting the dream girl, 'Aww so cute!'
'Boy, oh boy...'
Said dream girl leaving him alone in said church, 'Be a good boy okay?'
'...I wonder if I'll meet her again.'
(...)
"Zack...Hey Zack, wake up..."
The voice awoke Zack from his slumber. His eyes opened slowly and blinked several times before he realized he wasn't in his room. He immediately sat up and found himself sitting on the sofa found only in the First's lounge.
He rubbed his head in order to gather his thoughts before speaking. "So...Wait, all of that was just some messed up long dream?"
"Precisely"
A familiar voice answered behind him. Zack turned to see the three First Classes...Well what looked liked them.
In his confusion, he began to question "But then..."
"Don't-"Genesis abruptly cut him off.
"How come-"
Angeal simply shook his head.
"Y-"
"Just drop it Zack"
Sephiroth's tone of voice made Zack clamp his mouth shut. But he couldn't help wonder if it was all a dream, why was it that Genesis, Angeal and Sephiroth had cat ears, whiskers and what seemed like a tail coming from their rear end (Or butts as Zack would put it)?
One thing was certain, dream or not, Hojo was definitely a dead man and with that thought Zack simply grinned.
...An hour later...
Zack walked along the corridor and visited Reno in the infirmary. Zack didn't know what had caused the Turk to be injured so badly but the poor guy was on the mend and managed a 'Yo' before his nurse caught his attention. 'Man the injured guys get all the attention, nowadays'
There was a fellow 2nd class still unconscious on the bed next to Reno's but since Zack didn't know him, he left him alone. Though he was certain he could hear the guy mutter 'Good puppy' Zack ignored him and waved a goodbye to Reno, (though Reno didn't seem to notice) before leaving and continuing on.
Zack with hands in his pockets trudged slowly along the hallway. He was wondering what had happened in the past two days, since he couldn't recall a thing. Well everything but that weird dream, which was slowly slipping out of his memory. Zack was sure he wouldn't cause that much chaos in the Shinra Building and the three 1st Classes. With that in mind, he assured himself he had been working too hard which caused him to have weird dreams. It was either that, or Hojo had slipped him something, which was more possible considering Zack never worked too hard in his life. A Shinra trooper ran passed him; his blond spikes caught Zack's attention. As he whizzed past, the blond kid looked at him with familiarity before running away. It was as if they had met before.
Zack stared at him in confusion "...Who is that kid?"
He shrugged it off and continued on his way. A Shinra employee walked past him with a bouquet of flowers. 'Probably for Reno, I guess...' For some reason those flowers reminded him of a church, he had never been to and warm emerald eyes with a gentle smile. Zack shook his head and wondered whether he should get some rest. Hojo's drugs (Zack decided it was Hojo's fault, after all) were taking effect.
Before heading to his room, Zack thought he should check up on the three 1st Class 'Kitty' SOLDIERs. They seemed really angry before they left the lounge and Zack had an inkling of where they would be.
While walking past Hojo's lab, there were several crashes and bangs, also occasion screams 'NO NOT THAT!', 'CHANGE US BACK!', 'Whoops I dropped Masamune again!' well you get the point. Zack grinned knowing what was going on and decided he didn't need to hear anymore. So he left to go to his room. While the rest of the Shinra personnel who gathered there to see what the fuss was backed away ever so slightly...
As soon as he had stepped into his room, a black puppy came to greet him. Puzzled, he crouched down and picked up the puppy. The puppy let put a yip and then licked Zack's cheek.
Zack smiled as the puppy stopped licking and stared at him. "Hey Zee..."
She barked in response, 'Hi Big Brother!'
The End...
...Of all mayhem in Shinra? Of course not! (Not when Zack is around!)
...But the end of this fic?
Sadly yes.
Smart move Hojo; let's make three 1st Classes angry at you by turning them into half cats...Nice. So guys and gals what do you think of the last chapter?
I just want to say once again Thank you, thank you, th-
Genesis: Oh not again...

Zack: Yeah! Wait...What?
Angeal: (Shakes his head) never mind
Sephiroth: (Sighs)

Sephiroth: ...No...
