Our story begins a few years after Midgar and Sephiroth are destroyed. The world I would assume is at peace, as there is no major conflict for awhile. Avalanche breaks off in there own separate paths, and doesn't seem to stay in contact. Each of them have their own lives to live, now that the world has been saved. Rufus ShinRa is not dead, and remains in the 'Underground Network' (i.e. gangs, organized crime, etc.) and eventually gains enough notoriety and support from different networks, to be able to rise to power again, and politically, without apparent force, manages to acquire office in the now most powerful and growing city in the world, Junon, which influence controls near 80% of the major cities and resource for that matter (two main continues and most territories). Anyway, through political sway he manages to been seen as the 'good guy' oppose to any other possible candidate. He quickly rises to the top, and his first order of business is to seize Mako supply lines, of course learning his lesson from the past, decides innovation of Mako usage will have to be put into effect in order to prevent a next Avalanche. By his side is some of his original chain of command being: Scarlett, Professor Cyrus (One of Hojo's top scientists), and with Reno in head of the Turks, being Elena and Rude. As charismatic and persistent as Rufus is, he gains a lot of support from the rich and the poor. Possibly because he is the only one who seems to step up to the challenge in such a recessive time, and get the economy rolling again.

His first major project; Neo-Midgar. Construction would begin immediately, and would be completed in Four Years. This would open jobs for thousands if not one million of unemployed men and women. Most said it was impossible. Yet it was completed; nearly identical to that of Old Midgar; however it was a newer, seemingly brighter place. During the four year period, Rufus secretly squashed his political enemies and terrorists, as well as training and building up an impressive army at Junon. Money was made, and people looked to Rufus as the one to 'rebuild the world into a brighter, more peaceful place. Four Years is all it took to put Rufus right back at the top at ShinRa HQ. The NISEC (New Innovative ShinRa Electric Company) had been established, and was now innovating Mako usage and drastically cutting down on the outtake of the product. It could hardly be classified as Mako Harvesting; or so it appeared on paper. However President Rufus knew how important it was to look to other sources of energy, to prevent terrorism within his new great state. Never the less, he was back on top of the world.

The year is now 3076. The ShinRa order is stable, and there is little conflict in the world today. Somewhere to the north, a time rift opens up; time and universe tears and people suddenly get ripped out of their own time, and placed into this world. From a world ruled by a cruel Emperor Gastahl and his Empire, his right-hand-man known as Kefka Palazzo stumbles upon these 'Gates', and is consequently sucked into it. Lost, confused, and angry; he ends up stuck along side an equally-strange-looking man named Kuja from a different world. The two are stuck together in a place probably the Promised Land, but it is never said exactly where or what it is. Another few people from these two worlds are tossed into the mix together; and all are randomly thrown in with one purpose, to get the hell out. King Edgar, his brother Sabin, 'treasure hunter' Locke Cole, recently turned ex- General Celes. From Kuja's world there is General Beatrix and one of her soldiers, and Princess Garnet aka Dagger shows up before their voyage from Junon to Costal Del Sol, for some R&R. The Turks meet Beatrix and her soldier in Junon, and with a minor conflict, she boards the same ship the Turks take to Costa, in hopes of finding an answer to where and why she is here. Kazneo; a bounty hunter and old friend Reno shows up as well, and stay with the Turks to Costa Del Sol. There is word from ShinRa HQ to the Turks that a small resistance group (which Garnet unfortunately meets up with, along with Yuffie, and travels with them.) that is sabotaging and terrorizing ShinRa. Edgar, Sabin, Locke and Celes get involved with a freedom-fighter named Ian Jankovich, which ultimately causes problems for ShinRa. They happen to be on the exact same boat the Turks are on. General Beatrix and Reno seem to have some type of affair for awhile while in Costa Del Sol. The Turks (not present is Rude at this time) are called on by Rufus to return to Midgar ASAP; their new official orders is to hunt down and assassinate Jankovich. They hunt down Jankovich and eliminate him just outside Midgar, after he successfully bombs one of the Reactors (showed up mere hours ahead of the Turks, not knowing that they were so close behind them AND on his ass). Elena is badly injured, and General Beatrix and her soldier leave soon thereafter, as they need to find a way to return to Alexandria Kingdom with the Princess whom she `rescues' from Jankovich and the others. Edgar and Celes are injured, and Locke and Sabin escape deep into Midgar where they hide. The Turks return to ShinRa HQ.
