It was the deciding moments of the wutain war.The Wutai army had retreated to the gates of Wutai and

the town was heavily barricaded.If Shinra would win this battle,they would win,but if the wutains

would manage to defend their capital,Shinra army would have to retreat.

Sephiroth:This is what we do:Our archers keep the enemy archers busy and provide us cover,while you

advance to the main gate.When they come to push you off,I'll slip inside the gate from the left side

and open the gate for you.If everything goes as planned,our troops in the northern side invade the

town at the same time and the wutains are surrounded.Ready?

Squad:Yes sir!

It wasn't an easy mission,but it was a success.Unbelievably,Sephiroth didn't get wounded and the

resistance in the north was quickly crushed.Sephiroth led his squad through town with minimum losses

but the wutains made a strong defense ring in the town centre.The Shinra Army didn't advance and the

wutains didn't retreat,so it was quickly turning into a massacre.Sephiroth occupied the Da Chao

mountain and looked down to the city,how the cannons transported to Da Chao killed the wutains and

how Shinra panzers crushed everything in front of them.Sephiroth was a bit scared himself;he liked

what he saw.

Sephiroth didn't get any sleep in the night.He couldn't recognize what he was feeling;it had been

such an awesome feeling to conquer the town,but when he thought about the wutain people suffering,

he also thought,was Shinra doing the right thing?But what would it mean to him was it right or wrong

,after all,neither of them had done him anything good nor bad.

Next day was rainy and stormy.A convoy of trucks came to the yesterday's battlefield to pick up

soldiers.Those,like Sephiroth,who had gotten positive reputation,were home free,while the others

stayed in Wutai,to "keep the area safe".

Sephiroth looked at the surrondings from truck's window.They bringed back memories.The hill where he

had captured his first enemy,the forest where he had been surrounded by wutains,the field where had

died at least 200 wutains...

A Shinra ship was waiting at the coast.When Sephiroth had come to Wutai,it had been a rusty,old

cargo ship.Now there was a huge,white luxury ship.In the side of it was a text written in red which

said "Shinra heroes".

There was a party arranged for the soldiers in the deck,but some of them preferred to rest.So did

Sephiroth.Next day,the ship arrived in Junon where the cheering people crowded the streets around

docks.

One helicopter ride,and they were in Midgar.Sephiroth was ordered to go to a press conference.

President Shinra:...and this is the day of victory to Shinra!Now I'm going to give medals to the

bravest soldiers of Shinra Army!Number one...Sephiroth!This...hero led his squad through Wutai

but don't forget other brave things he did for us...

Sephiroth didn't listen.He had never been fond of medals and honor,but he knew that he needed rest.
