I don't own FF7 or Dark Knight they belong to Square-Enix and DC
Smile Cloud
Cloud slept in sheer bliss. Feeling as though he was floating in air. Things had been going pretty good the two years after Sephiroth's defeat. He was with the girl of his dreams, and were engaged to be married in six months. Finally the planet had given him a break. He felt movement along side of him. The figure in the same bed to his left stirred. She seemed to be having a dream herself. Cloud now fully awake watched her dreamily. He thought, 'How did I end up with someone so beautiful? As close to an angel a human can be.'The figure started to open her eyes slowly, and stared up at Cloud. "How long have you been watching me?" She asked. "I could never get tired of watching you" Cloud then kissed her tenderly on the lips. She sighed and started to get out of bed. "Tifa....can I ask you something?" Tifa looked over at Cloud with a gentle smile. "Are you sure your ready to be married?" She sat back down on the bed and touched his shoulder. "I have never been more sure in my life." They both kissed once again and Tifa soon got up and walked to the bathroom. Cloud still lied there thinking, until he heard the sound of running water. Smiling he decided to join his love so he could keep her "company".
After taking their shower and eating breakfast. Cloud got ready to go to work. The kids were with Barret for the week so it was just the two of them at night. Which gave the lovers much more freedom, if only for a while. Looking over at the clock Cloud realizede was he was late. He went over to kiss Tifa and say his goodbyes. "I will be back by five okay." Cloud kissed her again. "Be sure not to take to long, I have a surprise for you." Tifa said with a mischivious smile on her face. "A surprise? Well make that four then." Tifa giggled, "Just be sure to come home early, ok." With that Cloud walked out the door and started up Fenrir and took off into the distance. Tifa watched with a frown on her face. She wiped off her lips and dialed some numbers on her cell phone. "Yes, he's gone. I need you guys to get over here and hurry. We need to get the "surprise ready." After closing her phone she smiled and gave a small giggle while walking in the building.
Cloud was driving as fast as Fenrir could go. Eager to get home and see his surprise, he was a little anxious to say the least. He stopped and bought some wine to make it all the more better, but in doing so he was also running late. 'Hopefully Tifa won't give me too much grief.' Five minutes later he made it home. Parking Fenrir in the garage he went inside. The lights were shut off, and the bar was completely empty. Cloud tried flicking on the lights but they wouldn'y come on. 'Hmm, it seems she wants me to search with my hands. This could be fun.' "Alright Tif, I am ready to play your little game of hide n seek." Then suddenly Cloud heard a noise, it was a thump. "AHA! Thanks for giving away your hiding spot." Cloud started to walk towards the bar were the noise came from when he heard a shuffling sound behind him. 'Wait a minute. How could she have got behind me? Could the whole gang be here?' Suddenly Cloud knew only darkness as he felt an impact upon the back of his head.
Cloud soon started to wake. He felt the his whole head spinning and was unable to open his eyes. He tried to move his arms but, discovered he was bound to whatever surface he was lying on. Even his legs were bound. He struggled but it was of no use. Suddenly he heard voices. Voices that were very familiar indeed. "Well what a surprise, you didn't kill him muscle brain. I mean you hit him hard enough." That voice sounded like Yuffie. "Hey I just being cautious, I mean what would have happened i he woke up early." That was definately Barret. "Still what good would he have been to us if you smashed his skull in?" "Enough you two. He is alive and that is all that matters." Vincent there was no mistaking it. 'Wha..... What's going on, why?' Cloud thought to himself confusion and fear going through his mind. He opened his eyes slowly and started to look around. He was in the basement of Seventh Heaven, but it was almost unrecognizable. There were numerous candles lit everywhere, and he could see figures circled around the table he was bound to. All of them he easily recognized as his friends, also Rufus and the Turks. The were all standing there looking at him, grinning viciously. All except...."Well Sleeping Beauty is finally awake." The voice that he loved rang through his ears, yet in it was laced with hatred, and evil. 'It can't be.' She stepped out with an innocent smile, which soon turned wicked. "I am glad you had the sense to join us finally. Now we can begin the ceremony." Tifa walked over to Cloud. "Tifa what is this? What ceremony? Why are you doing th...." Cloud was cut off by a violent and quick smack to the face. "Shut it! To answer your questions we are going to resurrect Sephiroth using your death. From your blood and sacrifice Sephiroth will be reborn and he will cleanse the planet." Cloud stared at her with an unbelieving look on his face. 'Is she insane?' "You see Cloud at first we thought that defeating Sephiroth would save the planet. But look at it. It still hasn't recovered, and the arrogant people who march around thinking they are the masters make it worse. We need someone who will bring order and cleanse the planet of all of it's impuritys. That is the only way it will survive." Cloud looked at her in disbelief then yelled, "Are you out of your minds?! Sephiroth has never wanted to save the planet. All he has wanted is to make himself more powerful. Don't you get it? He will destroy the planet and kill everything on it. You are all blinded by his influence. Wake up!" Another smack across the face. "Cloud, Cloud, Cloud. You see he hasn't been influencing us in the least. This is our decision. Sephiroth only wanted to be a god. And with him as a god he will bring this world back from the ashes. Doesn't it excite you to know with your end you will bring a new beginning?"
Tifa smirked at Cloud and then mounted on top of him. "The beginning of the end" Cloud spat. Tifa pulled out the knife she had and slid it across Clouds cheek. "Before you go I want to see your smile. If anything you had a wonderful smile. When you would, it seemed to light up the room." Cloud kept the same scowl on his face not willing in the least to abide her wishes. "Stubborn as always. Well I will just have to make you smile." Tifa grabbed Cloud by the face and put the knife in his mouth. Pressing the blade against the inside of his cheek she quickly cut her way through his left cheek. Cloud's screams of agony didn't phase her as she once again put the blade in his mouth and sliced through his right cheek. The rooms filled with his screams, and the constant choking sounds from all the blood going down his throat. Tifa started to wipe some of the blood off to look at her handywork. "There! See, I told you guys he has a nice smile. Now he can't stop." Everyone in the room started to snicker at this. Tifa licked the blood on his face and kissed his forehead. "Shhhhh. Time to say goodbye my love." With that she pierced Cloud's heart with the knife and started to drag the blade down his torso till she stopped at his waist.
Cloud stopped making any sounds as darkness took him and his last breath escaped his lips. Seconds later Sephiroth stepped out of a portal that formed from Cloud's blood that was soaked on the floor. "Farewell Cloud. May you enjoy the abyss. It is ironic your friends would be your death and not myself."
You can all guess who CLoud is going to end up being like. The reason for this overhaul. Well it is my first fanfiction and the old one I think just stinks. Hopefully I can make the dialoge much better and improve the story. Peace!
