Hey guys here's the second part of the "Only Human" series!

Keda's POV

Getting out of Midgar hadn't been easy. We got chased by several more of Shinra people and we had to fight another monster. Cloud suggested we go to Kalm so I could explain what happened at Nibelheim five years prior. I also called Sephiroth and told him what was going on.

At the revelation that Jenova was up and about he swore before deciding to come and join me. After getting Angel safely to Cosmo Canyon so she could be safe with my parents did Sephiroth travel to the Eastern Continent on Ice Flower's back. Ice Flower and Xydrin were no longer rearing their eight children. The mated dragon pair had given life to four dragon females and four males.

Each of them were now fully grown and were living their own lives. I called the hatchlings my grandchildren and the little ones viewed me as their grandmother. A knock at my door interrupted my thoughts and I knew it was my husband. We would all spend the night in Kalm before leaving the next morning. As soon as I opened the door Sephiroth shut the door with his foot and hugged me. He wore a black cloak so he wouldn't be recognized. He wore his uniform from his Soldier days underneath it.

"I was worried about you" my husband said and he kissed my forehead.

"Are you sure it's wise for you to be seen? If anyone from Shinra sees you"

"To hell with Shinra" my mate growled. "Jenova is our priority right now and she must be stopped, you said Cloud and Tifa are here?"

"Yeah but Cloud's memory isn't great and he doesn't know who Zack is"

"That isn't good" Sephiroth agreed. "Let's not keep them waiting"

I nodded and took my husband's hand which intertwined with mine. Cloud and the others were gathered in another room nearby. Cloud opened the door and when he saw Sephiroth he froze. Sensing that the blonde was about to do something stupid I pushed him through the door and gave him smack on the head.

"Who the hell are you?" Barret demanded when Sephiroth entered the room behind me.

"Sephiroth!" Leon exclaimed and my best friend went over to his former mentor.

"Wait you're Sephiroth?!" Aerith demanded.

"Yeah that's him" Tifa confirmed her eyes not leaving my mate. I sensed her fear while my husband and Leon shared a hand shake.

"He's here to help explain what happened five years ago" I answered. "So please just listen"

"I'm down he doesn't look like he's a threat" Barret stated.

"I assure you I'm no means a threat to any of you" Sephiroth reassured. He then looked to Cloud. "Damn"

"What is it love?" I asked my husband.

"Mako Poisoning" Sephiroth explained. "It would explain why he can't remember a lot"

"Oh shit!" Leon yelled. He then looked to Cloud. "No wonder you looked like hell dude when you got to Midgar"

"Alright now that you're here Sephiroth you might as well explain what the heck is going on" Cloud interrupted. "Apparently your not the same man who supposedly destroyed Nibelheim"

Ice Flower, Talenth, and Tazith were outside of Kalm so they wouldn't freak out the residents.

"Five years ago Cloud, a 1st class Soldier named Zack Fair, Keda, two other infantrymen and myself were sent out a mission to Nibelheim to investigate the Mako Reactor and to lower the monster threat"

"Do you know where Zack is?" Aerith interrupted. "I'm sorry but I haven't heard from him in five years"

"I'm sorry I'm afraid I don't" Sephiroth told Aerith. "You no doubt must be his girlfriend, he spoke highly of you, it's also an honor to meet an Ancient"

Aerith blushed slightly before I decided to continue the story.

"Inside the Mako Reactor we found numerous monsters spawned by a nut job scientist named Hojo, there was also a sealed off room with the Jenova specimen inside"

"Hold on a second you mean to tell me that headless spook from Shinra Headquarters was in that damn reactor?!" Barret protested.

"Shut it Barret!" Leon snapped.

"Throughout my life I thought Jenova was my mother when it reality I was born to two human beings" Sephiroth continued. "My birth mother was a scientist named Lucrecia Crescent who had Jenova cells injected into her unborn child which resulted in my birth, my father is Hojo of Shinra Inc. after we returned from the reactor did we work on the monster problem"

"It took several days to get the threat lowered" Leon added. "Sephiroth spent some time in Shinra Mansion researching about the Jenova Project"

"Yes I was and Keda had come to check on me, after she left was I ambushed by another who was the spitting image of me"

"Which turned out to be Jenova creating a clone of Sephiroth, she blamed me for taking her son from her and thus she knocked him unconscious, I fought with her and got banged up pretty bad, Zack found us and with his help we left the mansion to find Nibelheim in flames, Jenova took Sephiroth's sword and used it to kill all of Nibelheim's residents, Leon took Sephiroth back to Cosmo Canyon while Zack and I went after Jenova" I explained.

Tifa shivered and I shot her a comforting look.

"I'm sorry she hurt you" Sephiroth apologized. "I was informed you were injured pretty badly"

"I'm fine now but you words are appreciated" Tifa replied to my husband.

"Zack tried to stop Jenova but he was overpowered and Cloud was able to injure her, but he also couldn't stop her, it was up to me so I challenged Jenova and she cornered me in the sealing chamber, I got stabbed by the Masamune but I was able to pull the sword out of me and I used it to stab Jenova before using it to toss her into the mako reactor depths below, she had her own damn head why she needed I have no clue" I continued.

"Probably to create a permanent body" Seph pointed out. "All she had to do was absorb it"

"That's f**ked up" Leon growled.

"So what happened afterwards?" Cloud asked.

"I fell unconscious outside of the reactor my injures were serious and if it weren't for my dragons I would have died"

"You were also pregnant too" Sephiroth added looking to me.

"You two have a child?" Tifa asked surprised.

"Yes a beautiful five year old girl we named Angel" I answered. "No one else knows of her existence and we want it kept that way"

"Our daughter has wolf shifter blood so she is immune to the Jenova cells but we kept her a secret for a good reason" Sephiroth stated.,

"From Hojo" Red answered. "You don't want your child to become an experiment"

"That's right" Sephiroth agreed. "Keda was almost that bastards specimen mere hours after her birth and I became one, there's no way in hell my daughter will go down that path, which is why I ask if I join you all"

Cloud and Tifa widened their eyes while Barret said.

"Holy shit!"

"This monster destroyed your town and your lives" Sephiroth said looking to Tifa and Cloud. "You have my word I will use my abilities to protect this planet"

Everyone was silent before Cloud spoke.

"I believe you" the blonde then looked to me. "I think you meeting Keda prevented you from going into insanity"

"She saved my life" Sephiroth said looking to me.

"Consider yourself a member of AVALANCHE!" Barret exclaimed. "Hell yeah we have the famous Soldier Hero on our side!"

"Shut it Barret" Leon growled. "Sephiroth mentored me and I gained popularity like him"

"You still do" I teased. "You still have women chasing after you"

Sephiroth snorted in amusement before he walked over to Cloud. He held his hand out and Cloud looked at it for a moment before he placed his into it. The two of them then shook hands and it was how our journey to save the Planet began.
