Travis is shocked by Unknown Materia

Share

*After kneeling down, Travis slowly and surely reaches out his metal hand and grabs a pedal looking at it. And sighs.*

AERITH: Well I mostly bloomed flowers for many years in this church, and still do today, and sometimes I have kind people who helped me once and awhile, including Jackie. *She said smiling as Travis just did a nod of approval*

*However his smile soon faded away, as he sighed.*


TRAVIS: Sometimes I really wish I wasn't a machine. I wish I didn't die in 1980, I would have made it to the true human adult that I am now. *He stated sadly as he released the Pedal as the wind carried it away.* There are times that I also wish I could turn back the clock, and go back to trying and stopping myself from doing a lot of horrible things back in the day.


AERITH: Aerith said smiling that then faded away as she heard his statement. "Well I'm sure being a machine isn't that bad." She said kneeling next to him.


*Jackie glanced at the two before taking out a piece of crumpled paper and a pen she had been carrying for some time and wrote down something.*


JACKIE: "I'm going to sector 7, I'll be back eventually."


*She put the paper on a pew and quietly left the church and headed towards the sector.*


*Travis realized what was happening and how he was destroying a smile toward Aerith's


TRAVIS: Sorry. *He says trying to feel a bit better then how he previously did prior* It has been very difficult years, Aerith, Very difficult and terrible years, ones that I can never get through. For years I have been a soldier in Shinra, doing as I was told, doing unspeakable horrors, Not just me, but my friends Hunter and Curtis as well. I never spoke those days, and I always hid my upper face with my head armor, yet here I am today, speaking in words, and actually being able to see things, with my own eyes. *He stated as he looked at the Lilies,* But in the end, even after 14 years of trying to get this city back to what it used to be, including reviving several people that once perished when the Sector 7 Plate came down in 2007, nothing has healed those scars, nothing. *He sighs one last time*. Even after we discovered that Resurrection Materia under the city 14 years ago, it still doesn't erase the memories of Shinra, and the company is not even around anymore. Even with Sephiroth dead, many people outside the walls of Old Midgar now point at me and my friends now. I don't know what to do, Do you think It was better if we just left this city in ruble?


*Aerith thought for a second before responding.*


AERITH: "I think that we should at least attempt to rebuild the most important parts of the city before just giving up on it, sure everyone is having a hard time and lots of people lost their families and all, but we should still at least try."

*She said, staring at the flowers.*


TRAVIS: Thanks for the kind words as always Aerith, but I don't know what I'm going to do with you. *He chuckles*

*Travis then gets up, and walks around the pedal, but notices something hidden in one of the broken wooden panels, in fact it was so well hidden that it was not surprising that Aerith would have never spotted it, He slowly stared at the strange object under the wooden floor boards.*


TRAVIS: What the? *He slowly lowered his hand into the small hole in the weakened floor boards where he gently removed the floor board where he saw something buried in the dirt under the church, he then began reaching down for it and slowly pulled it out revealing a giant dark blue orb.* What on Gaia?


*He stated with a cocked eyebrow. Only to get Aerith's Attention as she turned her focus from her flowers back to him.*

AERITH: What is it?


*Travis has his jetpack toward her, until he turns and reveals the Dark blue orb.*


TRAVIS: I found something hidden in your floor boards, What is it?


*Aerith giggled a bit before looking at the orb, and eventually becoming surprised herself, she couldn't feel anything from it, which to her was odd, she could feel any Materia out there including those of spirits, yet she couldn't feel anything from this? This was quite shocking to her.*


AERITH: "I have no idea. I can't feel any presents from it," *She said looking at it.* "It looks like it's Materia. But I never seen something like this before." She stated quietly as she looked at it.

TRAVIS: Hmmm,


*Within moments he scanned the Materia with his scanners as his eyes' lights moved up and down it, the results reading "Materia Origin: Unknown."*


TRAVIS: Materia? *Looks at it in his hand.* Just like that stuff we found under the city that allowed us to revive some of the people who died. *He then does some thinking and said,* Odd, I never saw Materia like this before, and I've been with Shinra since 1981, Hmmm I think its best if we-


*All of a sudden Travis fell silent, and wasn't moving for several seconds before he knew it, the thing started to shake violently.*


TRAVIS: Whoa what's going on, *Then all of a sudden it started to burn his hand, as it was shocking him, Before he knew it Travis was flung against the church stone walls with the orb stuck on his hand, as he fell head first on the wooden grounds while being electrocuted. Fighting it off he tries to yank the Orb out of his hands but it won't budge, until all of a sudden it explodes, sending sharks at him ripping through his organic face as the rest of it observes into him, and he falls to the ground on his back knocked out.*
