The soldiers of Shinra in New Midgar are hired for a strange mission. A monster described as half-man, half-wolf has been seen outside the remote village of Niebelheim. The description matches that of an omega. But what would an omega be doing so far away from New Midgar?

Shinra sends its elite soldiers Sephiroth, Angeal and Genesis, along with Angeal's mentee Zack, to investigate. They find a scared and almost feral omega namned Cloud, who has escaped from "the Bad Place".

They soon realize there's something sinister going on involving abducted omegas...

Meanwhile, Cloud needs to learn to live in the city, and Zack grows more and more attached to him.

“SOLDIERs, especially those suited for First Class, have gained an ability where they are able to command and influence those weaker than them. But for full control, it can usually only be used on one person at a time. I can control anyone below me without even saying a word. Anyone except you. The first time we met you resisted me until you passed out. I almost took you right then and there…and if it weren’t for my respect for Zack I would’ve…Plus…you are very physically attractive. Don’t tell me you’ve never noticed that you make SOLDIERs’ heads turn. When Zack picked you, the other First Class candidates nearly rioted. Remember? Even Genesis said how pretty he thought you were. I knew I had to have you. I’m glad Zack has been taking good care of you…besides me, he’s the next best option, but he’s still leagues below me…and that’s why. I can’t explain it all the way. You’re special. Like me. So I must have you.” Sephiroth explained.

Zack squeezes his hand. “Didn’t think I’d let Aerith have all the fun, did you?”

That must be what finally makes Cloud fall apart.

There’s a lump forming in his throat at the mention of Aerith, and just the thought of Zack arguing with the Planet—of all life—to come see him again, makes his legs feel weak. He’s stronger than this, is supposed to be stronger than this, but Cloud can’t seem to hold back the sound of a sob coming up his lungs.

Cloud Strife lost it all. Which is a lot to say, considering he never had much to begin with. Living as an outcast in the small town of Nibelheim was already bad enough. How did this happen? How could this have happened? No matter. His only option was to join SOLDIER. It was all he had left to look forward to in life. He didn't know that joining SOLDIER would be the final nail in the coffin, the thing that'd set everything into it's horrific place.

this was mainly inspired by a prompt that i will not be revealing, because that'd ruin the surprise but yeah, i mainly made it up as i went and no i did not edit this as of yet, deal with it

“You’re a SOLDIER, too?” Aerith asks, like it isn’t one of the most weighted things that he’s ever heard.

“…Ex-SOLDIER. Not anymore.”

Cloud wants to tell her that he never got into SOLDIER and can’t even be considered part of the program. He wants to tell her about the poisoning of his body when he was a child and have her listen until he forgets all that he remembers. Except he doesn’t know what it’d do to the time that hates him more than anything, so he keeps his soul sealed shut.

It wasn't official; there was no signage. But SOLDIERs who stumbled up to the fences at the Chocobo Farm found a warm, safe welcome away from the bustle of the world, and could stay as long as they needed, so long as they agreed to help out with chores and odd jobs. Choco Bill allowed as how that was a kindness maybe the world owed the haunted, troubled, wounded young men who darkened his doorstep.

The last two to arrive weren't quite the same as the others, though.
