"This one, I shall call him Zidane" Garland said feeling utterly proud of himself
Garland looked over at the test tube next to Zidane's and realized the power was strong.but not even a quarter of the power Kuja and Zidane possessed. "This one has the power of understanding, she will not be under our wings forever, I shall call her Mikoto." Garland said in a rather cocky voice
Garland looked at the Genomes surrounding him all looking at the test tubes with him, None knew anything of emotion, like robots with the purpose to serve him.
14 years later
Zidane was now a grown boy and he had already began his swordsmanship with a double edged sword that Garland had given him for his 10th birthday. Garland watched as Zidane swung the sword at the dummy making shreds of it.
"Zidane, concentrate harder and move with the swiftness of the wind." Garland yelled from a distance
"Alright" Zidane hollered back.
Zidane had become very fast with the swing of the sword but in Garland's eyes he needed to be faster, "Come here Zidane." Garland shouted angrily Ziadane heard the anger in Garland's voice and ran over as fast as he could.
"I am going to make to extremely faster" Garland said putting down a sack and filling it with Gil. "I am going to fill this sack with enough gil for you to buy that sword you saw that you begged me to get and I didn't" Garland said trying to persuade Zidane to do better.
Zidane's eyes grew wide as he heard what Garland said and as he watched all the shiny gold coins fall into the sack. Garland tied the bag then tied the bag to the handle of Zidane's sword.
"If there is a single tear in the bag after our training session is done then no money and no new sword" Garland said in a harsh voice.
Zidane's sweat could clearly be seen, as he didn't know if he could do it. Zidane began swinging his sword even more slowly and cautiously as he didn't want the bag to be damaged at all.
"Now go faster Zidane, just keep cautious and I'll tell you when to go faster!" Garland shouted hoping Zidane would get better at it.
Zidane began to swing the sword faster and began to always hit the mark on the dummy he was aiming for, at least four hours of this must have gone on before Garland had stopped him.
"Come here Zidane, Lets see if the money bag is undamaged." Garland said knowing that he saw it get cut at least once or twice.
When they both looked at it there was a small cut in it where a single gil fell out.
"That's too bad Zidane, You almost got the gil." Garland teased.
Zidane's eyes began to well up as he began to think of all the hard work he had put into going faster and being more careful.
"Don't worry Zidane, I was going to get you that sword anyway" Garland said as he waved his hand and the sword Zidane had been eyeing appeared
Zidan almost jumped out of his skin in excitement.He began grabbing at the sword anxious to try it out.
"Here you are Zidane, Now go along and play" Garland said as he handed Zidane the sword and watched him run off to the training dummy.
"That Genome is going to be ready to join Kuja sooner than I expected.Maybe in four or five years." Garland said in a shocking voice.
4 years later
"Ready Zidane?" Garland asked a now grown up Zidane. A now rather grown up Zidane looked at Garland in his totally black attire.
"Ready as always!" Zidane shouted with almost sheer joy, Garland grinned a little and wondered how he had raised a Genome that knew of emotions.
"Then get into your sparring position!" Garland shouted
Zidane grabbed his double-edged sword and began running towards Garland; Garland quickly jumped out of the way of an extremely fast slash and shot a charged blast towards Zidane.
Zidane quickly ran towards the left looking at that devastating blast behind him then he began casting a spell.
"Fire 2!" Zidae shouted as Garland was almost engulfed by fire if not for Garland's reflex's.
"That's no good boy!" Garland shouted as he went so fast that Zidane couldn't even see Garland move swiftly behind him and slap him on the head.
"Owww. Jeez! That hurt you know!" Zidane shouted
"Actually I wouldn't know Zidane, In over ten years you have never beaten me!" Garland taunted.
Zidane gave Garland a mean look then gave him a warm smile as they both began walking back towards the village in Terra.
"Zidane, There is something I must tell you." Garland said being as serious as he could.
Zidane looked up and stoped smiling as he heard Garland.
"You had been created for the soul purpose of assisting Kuja in destroying all civilization on the upper world." Garland told him in a calm voice
"WHAT?" Zidane shouted loudly
"You see we used some of Kuja's genes to create you, So technically you are Kuja's brother and you shall follow in his path." Garland said
"All this training has been so I can kill innocent people?!" Zidane hollered
Zidane walked a little way away from Garland and gave him a look so mean that if you were there you would have thought he was going to run you through with his double-edged sword.
"You must understand Zidane, Your power is far greater than Kuja's if used properly and trained hard." Garland said trying to calm Zidane down.
"I DON'T WANT THE POWER OF DEATH!" Zidane shouted as he began to glow.
The ground around him began to crackle as bits of Terra began to fly up around him and suddenly Zidane was engulfed in a white light.
"Dammit! He is trancing!" Garland shouted shielding his eyes.
As the dust and light cleared and the bits of Terra fell to the ground Zidane was standing there with a bluish red aura and with blue fur all around him.
"Zidane I hate to do this to you but in this form you're a danger to yourself and others in Terra." Garland said with his head down.
Garland went as fast as he could behind the tranced Zidane and to his surprise Zidane turned around and slashed his sword, which Garland was barley able to dodge.
"He's already this strong!" Garland said as he was running.
Garland began launching a barrage of energy blasts which fourty percent hit creating a huge cloud of dust around Zidane.
"Sorry Zidane, You were like a son to me" Garland said sorrowfully
Then from out of the dust the regular Zidane walked out and fell unconcious.
"He must not have been used to trancing.If he was he would have surely killed me." Garland said in an astound voice.
Garland picked up Zidane and got aboard his battleship Invincible and with the purpose of sending Zidane to the upper world launched. The ride seemed to be the longest ride Garland had ever taken to the upper world.
Right before the reached the destination he erased the memory of Terra and everything from Zidane's mind and allow him to live peacefully in the upper world.
"I can't force you to follow Kuja.but maybe you can take Kuja's place when he expires." Garland said looking down at Zidane.
Before Garland knew it he had sent Zidane down to the place he had last seen Kuja.Alexandria Castle serving as a weapon's dealer to some fat ugly queen.
Amnesia or Something More?
Zidane awoke to find himself in a village he had never seen before or even heard of before. Zidane looked around puzzled because it was probably around 2:00 in the morning and he had n clue who he was or what he was doing here.
"Who.What?" Zidane muttered.
Zidane barley remebered his name was Zidane and for some reason stills knew how to use a dagger or a double-edged sword.
