The Opening

[Austin Creed]
The Lifestream is a river of energy that circles our planet
It gives life to the world and everything in it
You, me, the creatures and the trees, all of those things flow from the Lifestream
Now, Shinra Electric Power Company extracts energy from the Lifestream
And they call it Mako, and they claim it brings prosperity to all
But if Mako is so great, then why are more and more of us living in the slums?
Shinra garrisons a private army, known as SOLDIER
Rumor has it, they genetically modify their troops
Infusing them with Mako to give them superhuman strength
Cloud Strife is a mercenary, an ex-SOLDIER who left the company
And his combat skills are in high demand
Cloud heads to the Sector 7 slums for his next job
It's with Avalanche, a group of eco-terrorists
Planning to strike at the heart of Shinra’s energy empire
