*Gasp!*

Zack opens his eyes as he got up. He gasped for air, and looked around his surroundings.

"Where am I?" Zack said as he looked around a vast void of emptiness.

He thought he was going to be with Angeal after he dies but date has other plans for him.

"Ugh. It's so dark." Zack said as he struggle to see.

Zack then spends the time in the void by making jokes to himself, reminiscing about the good times he had with his friends and colleagues, and doing squats.

"401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406." Zack said as he continues squatting.

During the brief moment, a bright light then appears.

"Hm?" Zack turned to to light.

"Woah. What are you supposed to be?" Zack asked the light.

He then slapped himself.

"Ok, that was dumb. *Laughs* Oh I'm going crazy." He said after slapping himself.

"But, exactly. What is this?" Zack asked himself as he was curious about the light appearing out of nowhere.

He walked back and fourth as he speculates some answers in his head. It continued for an hour.

Zack then stopped as he got the answer of why is the light here.

"Oh! I know! It's a portal." Zack said cheerfully as he was confident in his answer.

"Hmmm, but to where exactly?" He said as he put his hand on his chin.

He thinked for a moment.

"*Sigh* I guess it can't be helped." He said giving up the questions in his head.

"But, maybe it's going to lead to Angeal and the others. Hoho, what could they be doing right now." Zack said.

"But, it's a 50/50 chance that it's going to be a another dimension or the afterlife." Zack said as he speculates.

He stood there for a moment. He then remembered all his friends before deciding to go towards the light.

"But, I guess I have no choice then. Here I go!" Zack said as he ran towards the light.

"Here I come, Angeal!" Zack said in a happy tone as he got through the light.

The light engulfs him whole as he got through. It remained there for a moment before it dematerialized itself out of existence.

In a barren forest full of snow, Two figures were riding a horse.

"So, how's the wife. Carsid?" The other man asked his companion who is named Carsid.

"Seven hells! Ya scared me, Gavin. Ya big gobshite." Carsid said as he was startled by other man named Gavin.

"*Laughs* I didn't know you were such a big wuss!" Gavin exclaimed.

"Wuss? I'll show you wuss, you big headed pig!" Carsid insulted back.

"Woah, woah. I was just joking. Seriously, you take things very hard." Gavin said as he refuses the situation.

"Next time, don't ever do that." Carsid said as he is now calm.

The two went silent for a moment.

*Grumbles*

"Ahh shit, I'm hungry." Gavin said as his belly began to make noise.

"We should stop here for the night." Carsid said as he stopped and got off of his horse.

He then began to bring up firewood.

"Let's camp here." Carsid said to Gavin as he began to light up the firewood.

"Well, hurry up. It's freezing out here." Gavin said as he shivers.

"Ya wanted to join the Night's Watch, so this is your first training." Gavin said as prepared the camp.

Moments later.

"Ahhhh, it's good to feel the heat again." Gavin exclaimed in relief.

"Just a few more days and we'll be back in Winterfell." Carsid said as he ate his roasted meat.

"Do you ever wonder if the nightwalkers are real, Sid?" Gavin asked him.

Gavin then looked at him.

"Nightwalkers? No, I don't think they are real. They're only stories of the old folk to scare children in their sleep." Carsid answered as he then chuckled.

The two chuckled.

A noise in the distant then interrupts the two.

"Ssshhh. Do ya hear that?" Carsid asked Gavin.

"Aye. It's sounding like....screaming?" Gavin said back.

The two then got up and readies their swords. Gavin then began to say something to Carsid.

"Sid, if I die here. Please tell my mother that I love her." Gavin suggested.

"Shut yer piehole. Tell her that yourself, you're not dying on my watch." Carsid said back to his friend.

"Yes, yes. But, just in case that I die he-" Gavin then was interrupted as Carsid yells.

"INCOMING!" Carsid yells as someone falls on them.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH LOOOOK OOOOUUT!!!"

The two was then hit by the person falling, making them stumble.

...

...

...

...

...

"Get off me! Ya shite!" Carsid said as he was under Gavin.

"Oh, sorry! I didn't know you were underneath me!" Gavin said back.

"Just get off!" Carsid yelled.

In a location, just not far from the two. The figure that crashlanded who was then revealed as Zack was groaning in pain.

"Ow, my head." Zack said as he rubs his head.

He then got up and cracks his back.

"Oooh, that's better. Now where am I?" Zack said in a confused tone.

Zack looked at his surroundings and then sees something on the ground. He paused with a confused and shocking face. He then reached for it.

It was the Buster Sword who belonged to Angeal and he remembered that he gave it to Cloud.

"H-How. How is this possible?" Zack asked in confusion.

The two men then arrived at the area. They then pointed their swords at Zack.

"All right, who in the fuck are you?!" Gavin asked in frustration as pointed his sword at Zack.

Zack then turns around and smiles awkwardly. He then waves at the two.

"Uuuuuh, heya?" Zack said awkwardly.
