Final Fantasy 7 Advent

(Author note: this is what the char believe not me!)

"Many people believe in god..." "They believe god is a holy person looking after them, this person being man or women." "A person who makes miracles happens as said in the holy book..." "As well as he makes sinners pay the price for they bad…deals..." "But…what happens to the people who don't believe in him?" "That was a question always on my mind…after I became the age of 8…" "This is my story…of losing everything and knowing truly there is no god…"

Chapter 1: The past that catch up

"I lived in a very nice village when I was little called Ceres..." "It was named after the first of are people, a pretty women. When the same powers as we have…or so I was told when I was little." "What powers. I'm sure your thinking..." "The powers of cetras..." "Those are my people and what I am as well. Everyone in this village had those powers..." "Main we were all full bleeds cetra but there were some families with half-bleed..." "But my family was full…" "I had two little brothers and three little sisters…" "I was the oldest one in the family of 6 children..."

"But on day, after my 8th birthday I was asked to go to a friend's village an about an hour away from town..." "I didn't ask why did, because I was happy to go see my friend..." "I had no ideas what was really going to happen to the village I was born in..."

"But when I returned…"

She stare there at the enter of the village to find all the houses going up in smoke. "Mama!" She yelled running toward the house to find her parents laying there on the ground covered in blood. "Run…!" her father said looking over to there other children who were killed right away. "Bu...But I don't understand papa!" the girl cried. "There no time gets away before they find you!" her mother cried to her.

"You have to live! For this planet future!" her mother yelled, the girl slowly back away from her parents as she ran to the back of the town. She could hear foot steps. She quickly kneed down hiding behind a tree.

She saw that they were from shinra but why would they attack a village? She wondered to her self. "Well I think that all of them..." one of the soldiers said. The other one nodded to them. "Yes. I believe so…" another soldier came up to them. "Well..?" They nodded to the man. "We believe we got them all..." he looked angry at them. "I thought, I told you to keep some alive!" he grab one by the shirt.

"But. They were casting magic and!" the soldier said the man throw him aside. "I don't care! Hojo needed one to do project on!" he crossed his arms. "But. Sir Sephiroth!" He looked angry at them. "I don't want to hear it! You two are taking the blame for this for not listening to me!" he said as he head for the enter as the other two followed him.

"Sephiroth..? The great sephiroth..?" she wondered to her self as she left after she couldn't see them anymore. She felt great sadness in her heart from losing her whole family as well as her village she was born in. In one night, she was truly alone now.

She couldn't remember much after that, she remembered waking up in a kind lady house in the town of kalm. The women were very kind. She smiled at her when she did wake up. "Are you alright dear..?" she asked the girl. She looked blankly at the women. The women somehow could tell something really bad had happened to her.

"What wrong dear..?" she asks the girl. "My. Village was burned to the ground..." she whispered looking down at the blanket. The women hugged her. "It alright…dear. It alright...I'm here..." the women keep holding into her. She felt sorry for the little child. She was alone in the world as well she had lost her husband a bit after they marry.

So the women took the little girl in as her own daughter. She acted like her real mother. She loved that little girl named Sara. So much, but by her 13th birthday the women passed away.

The girl named Sara was very sad, but a bit after the women passed away. She heard of shinra inc. They're army, Soldier were the one that destroy her hometown so many years ago. She knew now, some could fight them back from the inside of soldier. But getting into soldier she would have to lie about her age.

And for what she wanted she did. She changed her age to 14 so she could get in. She trained for weeks and weeks so she would pass the battle test to get into soldier. And she passed with flying colors. She didn't look her age. She had to make a fake id as well. And the top soldier believed it.

After the finished picking the ones that had passed they were put into pairs of two. She was picked with a guy with blonde hair. He looked very nervous just to be around any girl. She had never seen a guy like this before.

She looked over to him for a second to see him sweating like crazy, as he looked back over to her. She shrugged to her self as she turned back to the stage. Two top soldiers were there on the stage. "You are the ones to pass, the tests into soldier. First let me say, good luck so far beginning soldiers..." The man said. "But this isn't the end of your training the next step start now!" he said pointing out at them.

"The person you are standing next to right now is who your training will keep going with. You will be with this person 24/7 day. Always together…if one person dies in battle the other person does as well!" he said, she looked over to the blonde hair guy again.

He was blushing a bit looking back at her. She gave him a question look then shrugged to her self again. As she turned back to look at the stage. "Again, I wish you all good luck in the future you may leave!" he said as the other groups started to leave.

"Umm!" She blinked stopping as she looked behind her to see the blond hair guy there. "Yes..?" she asked him. "We…partners now, right..?" he asked looking at her. "Looks that way…" she whispered, he nodded. "I'm. Cloud..." he whispered, she nodded to him. "Sara. My name is Sara we should get going..." she whispered as her self and cloud headed into they're soldier room they would be staying in.

It had been around 6 months they both had become really close in that little time. Before they were sending to the frontlines the war had ended. Sara was pretty happy that stupid war that shinra started ended. But she keeps those feelings to her self. She didn't want anyone in shinra Inc to know she hated shinra.

Cloud was a bit bolder now. He wasn't super shy now as he was when he first joined. He had grown up a bit. Not a lot just a bit, but it was better then none. He would always ask her about her family. And she would always give the same answer. 'They are all gone...' Cloud felt bad for her but he could always tell she was a strong person, but had a weak heart from all the sadness.

She had also told cloud why she joined soldier, he promises never to tell anyone the real reason she join. She knew she could trust him. Cloud made her think of an old friend in her hometown before it was destroyed. A shy but kind man who also had been a bit older then her. Maybe that was why she opened up to cloud so much.

But they finally got a mission asked to go to a town to check on a reactor. With the great sephrioth the one she had so much hate for. Sephrioth was the one who picked the three other people to go with him. A man named zack/zax with long black hair, cloud and Sara.

"Ok listen. Up, I'm going to tell you three about the mission a bit. Before we get into town..." the three of them turned to sephiroth. "We are head to a town called Nibelheim where we need to check a reactor where lately monsters have been coming from or so I am told..." sephiroth said. "Hey, cloud! Isn't nibelheim your hometown buddy..?" zack asked punching him in the arm a bit.

"Y...yes…" cloud said looking over to Sara who was looking out of a window. She keeps looking out of the window because she had never seen mountains like these. Zack started too whispered to cloud a bit. "You haven't told her have you…?" he asked cloud. He nodded to zack sighing a little.

The truck stopped really fast cloud grabbed into Sara so she wouldn't hit the side of the truck. "Sir…something hit the truck!" the driver called to sephiroth. "Looks like that would be are monster…" he said nodding to zack as he followed sephiorth off the truck to fight the monster.

Cloud keep holding into her a bit, as she slowly looked up at him. "Umm you can let go now cloud…" she whispered, it made him blush and quickly let go of her. "Umm yeah...right…." he whispered, as sephiroth and zack renter the trunk.

"Let get going driver..." sephiroth said, as the driver started up to Nibelheim. Cloud still knew he had to tell her. The truth why he joined soldier to start with. And he knew when he did tell her, she would hate him.

An hour lately they finally got to nibelheim. Sephiroth and zack climb out of the trunk first, and then cloud and Sara followed. "So this is your hometown. So how does it feel?" sephiroth asked. "I don't have a hometown so I wouldn't know…" sephiroth added, a girl was seen as she ran toward the houses.

"tifa…" cloud whispered hiding in his mask. Sara looked over to him questionly. Zack nodded to cloud as sephiroth and zack head told the inn. She watched sephiroth and zack head toward the inn. "Shouldn't we follow them..?" she asks cloud. "No. I need to tell you something first…" he whispered to her. "Umm alright…" she said watching him a bit.

"Sara….The reason I join wasn't just to get strong…I wanted to get strong so someone from my hometown of nibelhiem would…notice me..." he whispered, she looked somewhat shocked at him. "cloud…" she whispered turning away from him. "Sara…?" he said touching her shoulder but she pulled away. "Don't. Touch me!" she yelled as she ran out of town.

He let his arm slowly fall to his side. "I knew. She would hate me..." He heard a scream, as he felt him self turn white. Then sephiroth and zack ran to his side as they ran outside of town to find Sara laying there on her stomach bleed. "S…Sara!" cloud yelled as a dragon appeared in front of them.

Sephiroth and zack killed off the dragon pretty quickly. Cloud looking Sara over she was knocked out. "It. my fault..?" cloud whispered looking at her. "Yes. It is your fault…" sephiroth said, looking down at cloud with an angry look in his eyes. "Sephiroth...I…!" cloud said to say as he smack him on his cheek. "Ouch…!" he yelled. "You think that pain..? She felt more from that monster…" sephiorth nodded to zack to catch her to the inn.

Sephiorth wouldn't let cloud see Sara at all for the next days. The follow day they when to check out the reactor Leaving her there to rest from her cuts.

Tifa was they're guide up the mountain. Cloud keeps his mask on, so tifa wouldn't know it was him. He felt still really bad, for what happened to Sara. He blamed him self, he never knew how much she thought of him. He would keep kicking him self for this he just knew it. And he did, he felt very down even those he tried not to show it.

They had finally got to a bridge up on the mountain. "Be carefully..." tifa started to say. "This is a very old bridge..." sephiorth nodded to them as he started over it first, with tifa and zack behind them. Cloud slowly followed them when they half way, the bridge started to give out. "The bridge!" tifa yelled and zack grabbed into her arm trying to save her but they all started to fall.

Cloud felt him self slowly falling, he closed his eyes. So it ends like this? He thought. Yea it better this way, then I can't hurt her again. 'Don't touch me!' he shrugged a bit. 'No. I can't. Just do that. Wouldn't it end up hurting her more..?' he wondered, as he landed on his knees finding tifa beside him.

He slowly stood up seeing zack and sephiorth coming over to them. "Everyone alright..?" sephiroth asked. They nodded to him, "yes, but sir sephrioth one person missing..." cloud said hiding under his mask again. "This may sound mean but we don't have time to search for that person, we have to keep moving to the reactor…" sephiorth said as they headed into a cave close by.

They had been walking into a cave a bit, but stop dead seeing something glowing in the middle of it. "What that..?" tifa asked, looking over to sephiroth. "That...material...that how it looks when it first made..." sephiorth said, as he keeps looking at it. "It beautifully!" tifa said as she walked up to it. "The water around it about all dry up!" tifa said as sephiorth head over to her.

"Hmm...I never see material in the first step…" sephiorth said looking it over, zack followed him. "How could you can cast magic with your material..?" he asked, sephiroth couldn't help but laugh a little. "What so funny..?" he asked him. "magic comes from material, that the ancients left here so long ago, it even said they could cast spells without those round circles called material.." he said, "so magic is from super human..?" zack asked him. "Hehe, magic..? Hojo will yell if he heard those words…" sephiorth smirk to him self. "Hojo...who is that..?" zack asked.

"hojo is the top scientist at shinra inc, he doesn't believe material give magic power, that it really give the inner power of the human what was lost so long ago.." he said finishing. "The lost power…of long ago..?" tifa whispered as they moved out of the caved and finally started up a trail. They had finally got to the reactor.

"Finally..." sephiroth said. "It was a bit longer then we thought..." he nodded. "my self and zack will head inside to check the problem out..." he said, cloud nodded under his mask. "miss.tifa you stay here with that soldier. Understand..?" sephiorth said. "What? No! I want to go inside too!" she said in somewhat of a yell. "Sorry only shinra or soldier can enter here…" sephiorth said starting up the steps.

Zack winked at cloud, he sighed a bit as he blocked the steps so tifa couldn't enter. "You better take really good care of me!" she said, he sighed him self again. Sephroith and zack had been in there for an hour or so. But when they came out they look very shocked but what they saw but they wouldn't say what.

Back in town, quickly Sara sat up. "No…" she whispered, the inn keeper ran up to her. "You should lay down miss..." she said, "no. I'm alright..." "I need to go for a walk, I'll be back soon..." she said the inn keeper didn't try to stop her. But two hours later she didn't return as the other people from soldier return from the reactor.

"Ok everyone can take a break now..." he said, as the inn keeper ran up to him. "Sir, sephiorth!" she said, 'yes..?" he asked. Then she told him what had happened. "What do you mean, she gone..?" cloud and zack quickly turn toward him. "I mean. She when for a walk and never came back!" the inn keeper cried.

"She couldn't have gone too far…cloud search town with the other soldier!" he nodded as he ran off to check the town. "Zack come with me into the mansion." Zack nodded and followed him there. After that for days and days sephiroth stay in the mansion searching and searching for something.

Zack got word of cloud, which Sara couldn't be found in town anywhere. They both worried zack then the next day when to tell sephiorth. But something about him had changed? Zack felt a weird energy in the air that morning as he headed down the stairs. He felt like something was very wrong.

He heard a laugh as he enter the room where sephiroth had been searching for something from days and days ago. Not a normal laugh, more like an evil one. "Hahaha! So that it!" zack heard as he head toward the desk sephiroth was sitting at.

He stepped a bit closer to the desk. "Who there? Oh, it you. You traitor…" sephiorth said shaking his head a bit. "Traitor…?" zack said watching him. "Yes…all you humans…stealing the planet for your own..." he said standing up. "Stealing the planet..?" he asked questionly. "Yes…don't you see? the jenova project was about ancient who die over 2000 years ago…" zack looked surprised. "What does that have to do with you..?" he sighed. "Don't you see…I was made from? The ancient power…" sephiorth said moving his arms over his head. "Made?" he nodded head back toward the door. "Sephiroth?" zack asked following him.

"Out of my way, I'm going to see mother!" he said as he ran out of the room. Zack followed him, he was sure that sephiorth had gone crazy now. Zack quickly ran up the stairs, he wondered if it was true. Was he really made? Like a project in a tube?

He ran for the first door, after he finally got up the stairs. He pushed the door open and ran for the front gate as he stop die in his tracks. He felt shock to find the town on fire. Every house was on fire. He wondered did sephiroth do this... He felt something he turned to see sephiorth standing toward the path to the mountain. He slowly turned around and head up the path. "Sephiroth!" zack yelled but he didn't turn back.

"Sephiroth...you really have gone mad haven't you…?" he asked him self. Zack nodded to him self as he ran up the mountain path he had to stop sephiorth now before it happened to anymore towns!

But back to town, cloud came too. He had been knocked out by some of a wood falling on him. "Ouch..." he looked around, "sephiorth…why..?" he whispered as he stood up taking off his mask. "Yo! Your still sake right?" Zangan called to cloud.

He nodded to him. "Good! You check that house to see if anyone alive and I'll check this one!" he yelled as he enters the house by him. Cloud slowly enters his to find his mother died. "Mom…" he whispered, he quickly left the house. "No mom…no…Sephiorth…you have to be stopped!" he yelled as he jumped over the fire and hurry up the mountain path.

At the reactor, sephiorth was at the door of Jenova. The door where his mother was. "Mother! Open the door mother! I have a great plan to take back the planet for us!" he yelled standing there with his arms out at his side. Tifa slowly head up the stairs. "How could you do that to my father and the town people?" she said as he try to hit sephiorth with his sword, But sephiroth ducked as he grabbed into his sword, stabbed her over the stomach.

She fell down the stairs slowly as zack enter the reactor. "Hey!" he yelled at sephiroth. He only gave zack a cold look as he enters the room his mother was in. "Sephiroth…you have gone. Mad..." zack whispered to him self as he ran into the room after him.

Zack was throwing out of the room and land on a tube. He was cut up as badly as tifa was. He couldn't really move he wondered was it really going to end this way. "So he is the one..." he heard a voice. He looked shock to see Sara standing there. "Sara! Get out of here!" zack yelled at her. "Sephiroth gone mad!" she nodded to him. "I knew he would, that why. I had to leave the town..." zack looked confused at her. "Sara..?" he asked she looked down at tifa who was bleed like crazy.

She hated tifa a bit cause of cloud. "Poor girl…" she whispered as she walked up the stairs to zack. "You. Are Sara…aren't you..?" zack asked. "Yes. Let the cetra take care of sephiorth…human..." she whispered, zack yelled at her as she enter the room where sephiorth was.

"Mother I'm here!" he said to the dead thing in the tube. "Sephiroth...don't touch Jenova..." sephiorth let his hand fall to his side. "So. The cetra finally reappears…" he whispered as he turned around to look at her. "Better late then never..." she said with a little smirk. "You think you can win cetra…?" she shrugged, "you know I never thought of winning in the first place..."he laughed a bit, "good because you can't win," Sephiorth jumped at her.

They both jumped out of the room. "Sara!" zack yelled at her. Sephiroth grinned. "Not bad for speed…" sephiorth slowly pulled out his sword. "Not bad you're self…" she whispered, as cast fire on sephiorth but it didn't do much. "Sara!" she heard someone and turned as sephiroth stabbed her in the stomach.

"Sara!" cloud yelled watching. "Damn…" she whispered, "I was careless…" she whispered, she grabbed into sephiorth sword. "Not giving up..?" sephiorth asked stabbing her again. "Er...ugh..." Sephiorth slowly pulled out the sword as she fell backward down the stairs. "SARA!" cloud scream as he ran over to her. "TIFA!" he yelled as well. Sara was bleed lot more then tifa. Both them had they're eyes closed.

Cloud pulled them on diffence sides away from the stairs. "This is my fault…" he whispered, he grabbed into Sara hand. "Sara…forgives me…!" he cried. "Cloud stop crying over them and get sephrioth!" zack yelled at him. Cloud blinked at him the nodded. He ran up to zack, taking his sword. "You have to kill him! For Sara and tifa!" he nodded to zack again and ran into the room.

"Mother! Now it all better the cetra will be died soon! And you can truly awake!" sephiroth said, not turning around. Cloud stabbed him. "What. The?" sephiorth said as he fell forward. "How could you? Tifa, Sara, my mother…the town people give them back to me!" he yelled as he sighed a bit looking up at the tube jenova was in.

He slowly made his way out of the room. "Nice job cloud..." zack said passed out. "ugh.." cloud ran down to Sara. "Sara..?" he asked grabbed into her hand. She looked at him. "….." Then turned her head away. "I'm sorry…sar…" he whispered holding her hand in his.

"Ugh...damn him…" cloud quickly looked up the stairs to see sephiorth coming down slowly with jenova head in his hands. "Damn…you..." he whispered as he exit the door. "Cloud..." he turned to Sara. "you have to kill him…" he nodded to her, as he ran after him.

"Sephiroth!" cloud yelled, as sephiroth stop die in his steps. He ran told sephiorth as he was stabbed. He was stabbed by sephiroth. "Don't push your luck boy!" he said. "…" cloud grabbed into the sword. "What…?" sephiroth said, cloud threw him into the mako under them. "Sara….zack…tifa...I'm sorry…so sorry…" cloud whispered as he fainted.

She sighed to her self pulling her self out of her pass memories. "I wonder what ever happen to that blonde hair guy..?" she whispered to her self. She felt something touching her leg. "Yes…Marie..?" she asked looking down at the little child. "When will lunch be ready..?" the little girl asked. Sara smiled at her, "in 25 mins, I'll call you and the others in when it ready ok..?" she said patting the child on the head. "Ok miss. Sara!" she said as she ran back to the play room.

She when back to getting the eggs ready for lunch. Her life was a lot diffence now; she was helping tifa take care of the children. Tifa didn't remember her from back then. But it was better that way. She thought, she didn't hate tifa. Tifa was very nice; she saw why cloud liked her to start with.

She knew it was better not to think about the past. She was all heal up from that day so many years ago. She was 19 years old now. But she didn't look that old. She looked only 16 year old. The children loved her and tifa both. They both were like big sisters to them. The children who had lost everyone in they're family. As Sara has, maybe that why she wanted to take care of the children.

She felt like, this was her place in this world. A place so the children knew they were never alone. That they had a place to call home. "Never alone…huh?" she whispered to her self cutting the eggs up. She finished cutting the eggs and put them in a bowl. Then started on some vegs.

"Sara?" a voice called. "In the kitchen tifa…!" she called back still cutting up the vegs. "Oh there you are, are you making lunch for them?" she asked. "Yup, this will be done in 10 mins..." tifa smiled. "Good, I have an old friend coming over…later on..." tifa said with a smile. She turned to tifa she looked really happy about this friend.

"Really what this person name?" Sara said feeling happy for tifa. "His name is cloud…" Sara drops the knife on the floor hearing that. "You alright...Sara..?" tifa looked a bit worried. "Hehe yea yea...i'm fine!" she sweated a bit as she watched the knife off with water.

"Good, cause I want you to meet him!" she froze hearing that. "Oh? You sure you don't want to be alone with him? I can take care of the children when he here..." she said trying not to have to see him. "Nah it alright..." tifa said, "...o...oh oks...then...tifa..." tifa smiled and happly left the room.

"So. It finally start…" she thought to her self, as she placed the vegs in the bowl. "You never sang my song…" She whispered to her self. "On day on my own..." "You never said my words. Wishing would be heard..." "A song. Smiling at me. Was it real or just my fantasy..?" "Always be there in the counter like a little boy..." "Last night here with you. Same out song just once more..." she sighed her self stopping her self from singing.

"…I can't face him…can I?" she asked her self. As she mixed the eggs and vegs together.

Tifa was in the other room with the children as she heard him pull up. "He here!" tifa jumped a bit as she ran out of door to find a blonde hair man out there with sunglasses on. "Cloud!" She yelled waving to him. "Hi…tifa..." he whispered, as he stood up and head over to her.

Tifa gave him a hug. "It good to see you again cloud!" she said with a big smile on her face. "You too tifa…you too…" he whispered, she let go of him and grabbed into his arm. "Come on this way!" she said pulling him into the door way. "What with the pulling?" he asked, she giggled a bit. "I want you to meet someone who been helping me with the children..!" she said, taking him into the kitchen.

He was now in the kitchen, he frozen seeing the back of the person. "Cloud, this is the person that been helping me with the children…" tifa said pointing at her. Cloud had frozen still looking at the back of the person. 'It can't be….' Cloud wonders to him self. 'It just can't be…...' The person slowly turned around to face them. "This is Sara!" tifa said with a smile. The girl didn't say a word.
