"This is not the world you know."
Those words, above all the others, echoed in his mind.
Zack opened his eyes, letting out a yell of surprise as he materialized at the fountain. He stepped back instinctively, bringing his left hand to his eyes and his right hand up to grip the Buster Sword's handle. He noted that the sword was comfortably on his back like normal.
"What the hell?" Zack asked aloud to no one in particular.
Slowly it all came back to him. He had been battling for his life in the wastelands of Midgar, for hours on end. He rubbed his eyes and dropped his hands down to his side. It had been a long battle, and he'd managed to eliminate a sizable portion of the ShinRa military. All of his dreams and memories had flashed before his eyes as he collapsed. In another reflex move he quickly brought his right hand up and gripped the handle of the Buster Sword once again, to make sure he had it. It was there, yet he clearly remembered handing it off to Cloud in his dying moments.
Apparently not, he mused, looking around in disbelief. He then looked down at himself. Not a wound on him, or even a tear on his clothes. He was completely intact. Although his first instinct was that he was dead and in heaven, he somehow knew that simply wasn't the case here. He shook his head as he looked at the fountain.
"Omniverse...omnilium," Zack said to himself as a smile crept onto his face. It sounded like another adventure. It sounded like fun.
