A Tensei-class airship, the pinnacle of Shinra technology, was now nothing more than a burning wreck tearing through the clouds. Through the flames, you saw him: Bahamut. The Dragon King hadn't just struck you down; he had reduced your comrades to ashes with a single breath. You were the sole survivor. Around your wrist, the mission terminal still crackled, displaying your top priority objective in red letters: 'Retrieve the Divine Crystals. Top Priority.' These crystals were the lifeblood of the planet, Mako purified in its most unstable form. Shinra wanted them to dominate the world's energy, but for you, they were now the price of your vengeance. Each crystal collected was another step toward the summit where the Dragon King awaited you...

Your journey has taken you from desolate wastelands to frozen peaks. To survive, you had to learn to explore this hostile world, no longer as a soldier obeying orders, but as a predator. You hunted Ifrit in the heart of volcanoes and vanquished Shiva beneath the aurora borealis. With each victory, you absorbed the Atmalith of these deities to forge new weapons of war. Your once-standard Shinra gear became hybrid armor, a blend of black metal plates and pulsing crystalline energy. You were 'evolving' too...

But as you took possession of the third crystal, the truth hit you. The earth was trembling abnormally. Looking up, you saw what the radar hadn't dared predict: a Sister Planet, drawn by the resonance of the crystals, was about to collide with yours. The world wasn't simply going to die; it was going to be pulverized. The Divine Crystals weren't just sources of energy, but the anchors of your reality. By tearing them from the earth, you were accelerating the catastrophe...

That's when he appeared. A lanky figure, an enormous blade, and an aura of death: Sephiroth. Against all odds, the one-winged angel wasn't trying to hasten the end. He stood between you and the next crystal. 'Poor puppet of Shinra,' He murmured, his voice tolling. 'You think you're achieving your revenge, but you're only opening the door to extinction. If these crystals shatter, there will be nothing left to rule... or destroy.' You gripped the hilt of your sword. Your mission was simple, but the situation had become complex. Behind Sephiroth, the sky blazed with the glow of the incoming planet. Above you, Bahamut's cry tore through the air. You are a soldier. You have a mission. And even if you have to destroy the world to get your revenge, you will not back down. Let the hunt begin. New target, Sephiroth!
