Welcome one and all to our beautiful new skin! This marks the visual era of Adventu 4.0, our 4th and by far best design we've had. 3.0 suited our needs for a very long time, but as things are evolving around the site (and all for the better thanks to all of you), it was time for a new, sleek change. The Resource Site celebrity Pharaoh Leep was the amazing mastermind behind this with minor collaborations from your resident moogle. It's one-of-a-kind and suited specifically for Adventu. Click the image for a super easy new skin guide for a visual tour!
Final Fantasy Adventu is a roleplaying forum inspired by the Final Fantasy series.

When Genesis stated they all deserved a punch from him, Zack went to protest he wouldn't hit any of them once again, but stopped himself. Zack knew that Genesis wasn't one to admit he was wrong, or anything close to that. Looking down, Zack kicked a small rock he saw on the ground. "It wasn't your fault. I don't know how I wouldn't handled what you guys went through." Zack would honestly just hide how he was feeling under a mask of smiles and jokes until he couldn't anymore.
Shaking his head, he stared at Genesis. "Yeah, I really don't want to be around for that. Again." He liked Sephiroth and all, but he wasn't looking forward to watching all that happen again. If he had to, he would step in of course. Genesis seemed to be doing okay here, so maybe there was a chance that things wouldn't end up the same as they had before. Maybe with him and Angeal around, it would be different.
The snarky comment put a small smile on Zack's face. It was the Genesis he knew. To some, it would seem that Genesis really didn't like Zack at all. To the people who knew him, that was just how he was. True, Zack would be the one to push him too far, but that didn't happen often. "I mean, maybe? You should've seen 'em Gen. They kept popping out of nowhere! Then I handed Cloud the Buster Sword so he could carry on the legacy, but somehow I still have it?" That part still confused him. How did he still have it?
Even Gen's reaction couldn't take the excitement Zack was feeling away. There was no way he wouldn't be excited to see Angeal again, and a sane Sephiroth! Well, mostly sane anyways. None of them were normal, but that was how it was. Mako infused still seemed to be a thing here, which Zack was both happy and not happy with. It would've been nice to go back to being normal here, but having the mako enhancements were still pretty cool.
"Hm. Well I'm sure I could find something that everyone can at least agree on. Maybe. Hopefully." He himself could watch just about anything. If it was boring, he could let his mind wander and make it interesting in his own way! Genesis then said he could take him to the other two, and if Zack was a teenage girl, there would have been squealing. "I'm ready when you are boss!" That statement was true, Genesis technically was his superior.

[attr=class,bulk] Zack reassured him that how Genesis had reacted back then wasn’t his fault, but if anything, that just made him more uncomfortable. It would have somehow been easier if Zack was antagonistic. It would have made more sense to him at least, but the dark-haired SOLDIER had always been far too forgiving for his own good. “You would have handled it fine, and we both know it,” Genesis muttered with a wave of his hand, but he didn’t want to dwell on that too much even if it were true. It would have been a very different story for them if Zack had been the one to sprout a wing and learn that he was degrading.
Zack got a little more grim at the mention that Sephiroth didn’t know about Jenova yet, and Genesis couldn’t blame him for that. He hadn’t been around for his friend’s meltdown, but he knew that it had ended with Zack nearly dying and being experimented on by Hojo. Not exactly an enviable position for anyone to end up in.
Genesis didn’t really know what to say to that since he wasn’t the best at offering comfort, but Zack seemed to cheer up anyway at Genesis berating him for dying. Really, it was an odd thing to cheer someone up, but he supposed that none of them had ever been the most normal. “You gave that blond infantryman the buster sword? I thought he was comatose.” He wasn’t sure if he liked the idea of Angeal’s prized sword ending up with someone who couldn’t even make it into SOLDIER, but it wasn’t exactly his call to make. Anyway, the boy was bound to be less useless now that he carried pure S cells. Sephiroth’s blood had to count for something, right?
Zack also pointed out how weird it was that he still had the buster sword when had given it up, and Genesis shook his head a bit grimly. “That’s not the half of it. Angeal still has it too, which makes at least two copies of it in this world.” It didn’t make much sense, unless they had all been grabbed from different points in time. That led to its own problems with the timeline though, so Genesis didn’t want to focus on it for too long until something was actually confirmed. Anything else was just speculation.
Angeal’s pupil seemed absolutely thrilled at the offer to go back to their apartment right now, and Genesis just rolled his eyes when he referred to him as boss. “Don’t call me that. None of us are with Shinra anymore.” True, he had been a commander in the SOLDIER program once, but that felt like another lifetime ago at this point. Not to mention that Sephiroth had outranked him, and he absolutely refused to refer to him as his general anymore unless Genesis was making fun of him. He’d still break it out for those occasions of course.
“Well, come on then,” he said, turning away from the lake and back towards the direction of Torensten. He had flown all the way out here and didn’t exactly relish the long walk back. If only Zack could fly too, but Genesis wasn’t about to offer to carry him. Walking it was.
“Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return.”
Genesis said he would have handled it fine. In comparison to what had actually happened, he was right. Still, Zack would have freaked out as well, just in a different way. He would've ran to the others for help, arms flailing with lots of yelling. If it would have been him, the others would have helped, probably. They would have been on the case, instead of chaos happening. "I guess.." Fine wasn't the word he would have used, but the point was still made.
Scratching the back of his head again, Zack gave a sheepish grin. "He was a little less out of it when I gave it to him. I guess I thought that would be better than leaving it there?" That was really the only explanation Zack could give. He didn't blame Genesis for asking, it was Angeal's sword after all, and there was great meaning behind it. He hoped Cloud used it well.
Zack's eyes went wide. "He does? Well, that's odd" So there was three Buster Swords roaming around? He honestly wasn't sure how Angeal would feel about that, or the fact that he had given it to Cloud in the end. Also, the condition it was in was probably far from new. He himself had used it against the Shinra military, it had shielded many bullets. There was no rust though, so that was good..
"Right! Sorry, habit." Genesis was right, Shinra was in the past now. He wasn't sure what it was going to be like now. In the past, everything had been about training and fighting. Now, there wasn't a company to work for, no wars to fight. There was just, them. They could hang out. Did they know how to do that? Genesis started to walk off and Zack followed, giving a small smile at the Loveless quote. It was good to be with someone he knew.
