Hello. Um,, this is my first fanfic so please be somewhat nice, but do feel
free to criticize, actually I prefer that you do. This fic takes place
directly before the fight with Sephiroth. Basically this is just a
different turn of events in which they lose the battle. (Sort of. read it
for your self.) I originally wrote this a few months ago but I decided to
pull it off and rewrite/revise some things so..... please R&R!
Ahhhh the disclaimer. ... I do not own FF7 I do not own Final Fantasy I do not own Squaresoft. I did not create these Characters they belong to squaresoft. Although I very much wish I did!Hope that covers it. Enjoy.
The weary party continued past the damp rocky passage and soon found themselves in an large circular clearing with a green glowing orb in the center. The orb hovered over a deep gully and lit the rocks down as far as the eye could see. Cloud walked to the edge of the gully as the others stood in awe at the aura of green lights surrounding them. He looked directly into the orb and his eyes grew larger and deeper as he glared into the light.
"Ahhhhhh! No! He's here!"
Cloud screamed as he fell to his knees and covered his ears, hiding from the screeching noise. He leaned his head back and then fell to the ground landing on his face. His arms lay useless on the ground and he could not feel the rest of his body. The noise had stopped and all he could only hear his own heart beat.
"Cloud? Cloud what's wrong?" screamed Tifa. She tried to run to him but was suddenly lifted off the ground by Barret. Tifa kicked and pushed at Barret's arms, which proved useless. She stopped for a moment. A single tear ran from her eye and fell onto the dusty ground. "Cloud? No, Cloud." she cried.
"Don't Tifa. Its one of Sephiroth's tricks. There ain't nothing we can do about it." Yelled Barret sadly.
Red and the others stood and watched Cloud lay in silence. Blood ran from his face dampening the sand and rocks were he was lying.
"Lucreacia? Is this what we brought. Is this the profit of our existence? Is this truly our, son?" asked Vincent to himself. The others turned to Vincent and watched in agony. "It cannot be. IT CANNOT BE!" he yelled.
"What?" said Tifa softly. She looked into Vincent's eyes which were wreathed in fury and innocents. Tifa shook her head slowly and again began to cry.
"Uh.. Uh. Help me." said Cloud between his staggered breaths. They turned back and saw Cloud move his head to the side. He got to one knee and faced the glowing orb in front of him. "Yes. Mother." He said firmly.
Cloud got off his knee and rose to both feet as if he had been completely healed of his wounds. He turned, lifted his head and glared deeply into Tifa's eyes. Cloud's eyes changed from green to a evil glowing red and his upper face was shadowed darkly from his hair. He whipped the blood from his nose, dripping it onto the ground. "Father." He said to Vincent in a raspy voice.
"No! Coud you cant. You can't give in to him. You can't." Yelled Vincent. Cloud reached behind his back and grasped the hilt of his long sword. "I am him, Father. Come back to Jenova. Come back to your son. Or die a pathetic pon like these other fools." Said Cloud as he pulled his sword quickly from his back.
"I don't think so." Yelled Cid. He ran towards Cloud with his spear pointing to his scull. He was followed immediately by Yuffie and Red who saw Sephiroth's will controlling Cloud's every move.
Cloud dropped his sword and lifted off the ground in a blue transparent barrier. Red, Cid, and Yuffie leapt towards Cloud but were shocked and flung down to the rocky floor. Yuffie and Cid lied there unconscious, and Red could barley breathe.
"No!" Screamed Tifa. She somehow managed to push out of Barret's arms and began to run towards Cloud.
"Tifa stop!" Said Barret as he chased after her. She jumped at Cloud and grasped the barrier surrounding him. Like the others she fell to the ground. Her body broken and bleeding from the fall, she lied there. Dead.
Barret looked to Cloud and for a moment saw his true self through the possessed body. Cloud's eyes turned back to the usual green and he looked down in innocence at Tifa. "Tifa! No!" he yelled.
The barrier broke and Cloud fell to the ground. He got off the ground quickly, completely disregarding his severe wounds and ran to Tifa. Cloud knelt down next to her broken body, grasping her lifeless hand. "Not Tifa." Cloud dropped his head to her hand.
" hahahahaha. Cloud. My son. You know you cannot run from me. And you, father, you cannot deny your own son can you? It is us who were appointed by the Cetra and Jenova to govern this world and we will complete our task." Said a loud low voice coming from the orb of light. Out of the orb a dark figure could be faintly seen. It walked slowly towards them carrying a long sword.
"Sephiroth!" yelled Vincent.
"Yes it is I." Said Sephiroth as he walked on air out of the green orb. His gray hair hung down past his back, waving in the wind coming from the deep gully below him. He wore all black clothes and metal armor on his shoulders, arms, and knees. The masamune shined brightly in the sunlight, nearly blinding Cloud and the others.
"You scum! You killed her. You killed them! Die!"
Cloud jumped forward and ran towards Septhiroth. He knelt down while running and picked up his sword, which also glimmered as it touched more sunlight. Holding his sword forward he leapt over the edge "AHHHHH!" Cloud pulled his sword back, then thrust it towards Sephiroth.
The tip of Clouds blade punctured Sephiroth's chest, penetrating his thick armor. Cloud now in mid air pulled his sword, now dripping in blood, from Sephiroth's chest and fell into the glowing ravine. "Die Sephiroth." he yelled as he fell endlessly down the gully.
Sephiroth stood silent for a moment, staring deeply into Vincents Eyes.
"How could you? Hojo! How could you do this to my son!?" Vincent screamed in anger. He pulled a pistol from his side and ran towards Sephiroth.
"Die!" he screamed as he pulled the trigger several times aimed for Sephiroth's head and chest. The bullets plunged into his already punctured lungs and two entered into his scull at the forehead. Sephiroth paused again.
"Father. Please forgive me?" he mumbled with his last breath. Sephiroth lost his step over the ravine and plummeted to the bottom leaving the masamune hovering in air. Vincent stood, looking down into the gully, his hair waving in the wind from the ravine. He clenched his fist and dropped his pistol. "Lucrecia? Can you forgive him? Can you forgive me? I am sorry"
The party was silent. Red began to regain his breath and Cid soon regained consciousness. Barret sat on his knees beside Tifa, trying to bring her back. It was hopeless. Sephiroth had been defeated, but at what cost. Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, and perhaps Holy would never come, or maybe it would, ridding the planet of humans forever. Was it worth the price?
