Sephiroth laughed "Curt as always Vincent" he said. He shrugged "because strength is nothing special, anyone can have strength and NO ONE respects anyone just because of their strength....no...people respect wisdom...and wisdom is the ability to discern when to use your strength and how much to use in the situation. I do not want to kill everyone contrary to popular belief, I want this world to be reborn....and yes that will require some deaths but I am prepared to do what is nessecarry for the greater good." he said philisophically "and on a softer note, feel free to look through my materia stash I cant remember what is in there but its all quite good I believe, at least as good as that bolt materia i gave you." he continued walking

Vincent unconsciously shivered at the mention of materia. He didn't know why, but it just did not mix well with him. It made him feel like a worm was crawling under his skin. The materia made him feel less in control of his power. Lifestream. Maybe that was why the materia mixed badly with him, because it was directly from the lifestream. Either way, it made him feel erratic and uncontroled, making him despise the stuff even more. "It is all your Yuffie. Bad reaction with it." Once more, he spoke curtly, avoiding having to explain his decline.

Yuffie sighed and said nothing. The prospect of looking at tons of top-quality materia was tempting, but walking between her cynical new friend and the most dangerous man on the planet seemed to cut away at the wonderful prospect of doing her favorite pastime without any repercussions. She looked over at Vincent and frowned, noticing he seemed to have a grimace of somesort on his face. She didn't understand why: All they were doing was having a simple discussion about Materia...
That's it...he must not like Materia for some reason... Swallowing, she gathered her courage and decided to ask the question despite the fact that her curiosity only made her sound like a child more and more. "How come you don't like Materia?"

He knew it. He just knew she would ask him that question. He merely hoped that it would occur later. However, she was more astute than she appeared and had picked up on his obvious distaste. "It is personal." That was all he said. Vincent had no desire to explain the circumstances of his existence to her. He did not even understand why his body rejected the materia, so how could he possibly explain it to someone else, especially someone as innocent as Yuffie. "You can look through it. Do not let my aversion inhibit you." Vincent wasn't quite sure why he added the last bit; it just seemed somehow wrong to allow his own distaste to stop her from the task she so obviously wanted to do.

Sephiroth chuckled to himself "Lifestream get 'under your skin' Vincent?" he asked showing his grasp of the situation. Hojo must have put him through some of the same tests as I.....that brilliant....yet evil man....

Yuffie raised a brow at Vincent, unsure of what he was trying to say. "Look through what? I understand how some people are with Materia...a lot of folks just don't like working with magic. That's understandable. I mean, I've seen some people go power-hungry with materia....they don't look so good when they overdo it with those things. Then again those people are the ignorant ones who think they'll become immortal if they have enough materia plugged into their weapons and armor at all times. They're just crazy if you ask me." She laughed. "Of course you aren't crazy...I mean, I think it's the smart thing to do to choose not to use it."

Vincent chuckled suddenly. It was a strange, alien sound, even to him. Him afraid of magic? What was this girl playing at?
"No, I am not afraid of magic. I cannot use materia. My body rejects it. And as for magic....."
Vincent uncovered his left arm and held it aloft in front of Yuffie. Even though it was plated with metal, any person with a brain could tell that his arm was not that of a human. The corners of his mouth upturned into a slight smirk.
"Now do you understand?"

Sephiroth looked over his shoulder slightly He's becoming close with her.....this could present a problem....I cannot have his loyalty to me questioned.....not now....I shall have to accellerate my plans with the Yuffie girl.....I must turn her to my side that way Vincent will forever remain true to the Path.... Sephiroth stopped and turned around slowly "Vincent.....you say your body rejects materia?" he reached into his sack of materia and produced a white piece of materia. He raised it in his hand as it let out a bright white light "Yuffie....let me show you why he hates Materia...." his eyes softened "Im sorry Vincent.....but you must learn to overcome your weakness if you travel with me.....magic is a common form of attack and I cannot have you vulnerable to it....." his black energy activated the materia as a stream of white dust enveloped Vincent's form as Sephiroth slowly uttered a word "Life 3...." the white dust turned into white energy that sunk into Vincent's form, its life energy reacting with his undead side. Sephiroth watched as Vincent collapsed on the ground writhing in agony "Im sorry friend....but we must build up your resistance...." he cut off the MASTERED life materia's blast and put it back into his materia sack. "carry him..." he said to Yuffie. "and tell me when he is awake.....then I will blast him again....and again.....and again....until he does not pass out from it...." Sephiroth continued to walk and casually tossed yuffie a strength talisman "put this on, it should boost your muscles enough to where it isnt a burden to carry him....and yet you will still gain strength.....come now Yuffie......onward..." he started walking again.

Yuffie stood there, speechless over what had just happend. She stared down at the talisman in her hand for a moment, then glanced over to Vincent's unconscious form. I can't believe he just did that to him...without warning like that... She knew this wasn't a time for anger and distaste. That could wait for later. She quickly put the glittering trinket on around her neck and picked Vincent up, carrying him on her back almost effortlessly. She knew this wasn't right. Torture like this would only kill Vincent after enough times: It was no better than what Hojo used to do to animals all the time. Please don't wake up Vincent... she thought pleadingly. You don't deserve to be hurt anymore... sighing, she stayed careful with the new burden on her back, following Sephiroth only a few steps behind.

Where am I?
Vincent slowly opened his eyes, only to be greeted with a wave of bright sunlight.
"Sun...ouch..."
He realized suddenly that he was being carried by the small girl he had met earlier.
"Yuffie, I am fine now. Let me down. And yes, I am aware he will do it again."
Cruel and unusual it may seem, Sephiroth was right. Blasting him with materia was the quickest way for him to build up an amunity. He had to. The materia contained more life than he did nd it reacted horribly with his undead side. With a weakness of that magnitude, he had to build up an amunity or he would be useless in a battle.
Cruel, arrogant, cold, and tempermental, Sephiroth, against popular opinion, was an honourable man. It was one of the few things he actually did remember of his past.
"I said let me down Yuffie. I meant now."

Sephiroth shook his head slowly "dont bother yuffie...." he turned around holding the giant white orb. It started to glow agian zapping him with its life energy making him scream in pain and finally pass out again. The wind blew softly against Sephiroth blowing some of his long silvery hair into his face "yuffie...." he said softly barely above a whisper "think me a monster, fear me, hate me, think whatever you wish about me.....it is of no concern to me..." he said as he turned around starting to walk again Go ahead, you wont be doing anything different than anyone else......this needs to be done.......

Yuffie sighed, staring at Sephiroth's long silver locks in front of her. "I don't truly hate you, Sephiroth. You spared my village, and I respect you for that. It's just..." She looked back at Vincent's unconscious form. "...Is it truly neccessary to hurt him like this? I understand why you're doing it...but shouldn't there be an easier way?" She felt foolish for asking such a silly question to such a formidable man. She already had a good idea of what the answer would be, too. Still, somehow she wanted Sephiroth to learn something about compassion: Maybe then she could show him that it's okay not to be so cruel at times.

Sephiroth shook his head "There might be an easier way but not a more effective way, the other ways are going to be only temporary....and I am interested in Vincents well being for the moment......you are not a SOLDIER you do not know what discipline is instilled in us. Vincent knows what Im doing, he also knows that we under went worse during our carreers in SOLDIER and The Turks Respectively." he said honestly. "just carry him now and soon when you need it.....he will carry you effortlessly" Sephiroth stopped talking now and kept walking immersed in his own thoughts on SOLDIER and JENOVA.

(OOC: Sorry, short post...I don't seem to have that much of a muse lately.>_<)
Yuffie sighed in aggravation. "Yeah, maybe you're right. This might be for the best for him. But i'd like you to keep in mind not to underestimate me, either. I might not be a SOLDIER, but I AM a ninja. I have discipline and morals too, you know." She looked down and kicked at a rock that was on the ground in front of her as they walked. "Where exactly are we going, anyway?"

((OOC: Muhahahaa!! Flashback Time!!!!))
Since Grimoire, his father, died, he had been searching for Lucretia Cresent. He was in love wth the odd woman, a scientist for Shinra. Being a Turk, he only saw her on rare occasions. Finally, finding her again, he spilled his love out to her. She rejected him due to her grief from his father's death.
*later*
Vincent watched as the love of his life experimented with mako and other odd things. He watched as the relationship between her and Hojo developed.
A few days after they had announced their relationship officially, she was found pregnant. Immediately, she offered herself to be a test subject. Her unborn child would test the effect Jenova's cells had on life. The child would be the ultimate guinia pig.
"This is wrong. Human test subjects? It is inhumane and dangerous! Do you even know the risks of these experiments?" He argued, trying to get the two scientists to change their minds. Before he knew it, he heard a gun fired, and then nothing. Everything around him begn to dim.
((back to present!!!!))
Vincent snapped his eyes open, thankful to be away from that horrible place again. Was that just....a ....memory? As much as the memory intrigued him, he wouldn't risk reliving the end, reliving his obvious death.
Once more, Yuffie was carrying him. He knew Sephiroth intended to blast him again, so why prolong the inevitable?
"Sephiroth, I am awake. If you intend on blasting me, you may do so now." he said, nonchalantly. He had already gritted his teeth, preparing for the now-familiar pain of the materia.
