"But I cannot grow, Till you eat the last of me,
Oh when will I be free,And you, a parasite,
Just find another host, Just another fool to roast," System of A Down - Needles.
"All the world I've seen before me passing by,
Silent my voice, I've got no choice
All the world I've seen before me passing by," System of A Down- ATWA

I thought of this idea while chatting to a writer friend of mine on MSN. I was thinking how cool it would be if future FF games had characters from previous games as summons. Then the idea of Sephiroth being Yojimbo popped into my head. So I thought that I would release a fic with this premise. This is how Sephiroth becomes the gillionaire Aeon.

Just so you know in every chapter I'll post a link to a story on fanfiction.net that I feel is worthy of a mention. The first one is a little biased as I'm friends with the author but the story is great. Three thumbs up.
Origins-Yojimbo.
Mako Eyez.
In a flurry of silver his tale ended and his story began.
After his defeat at the hand's of Gaia's saviour Cloud Strife, the Great General Sephiroth found himself in the great sea of souls, the Lifestream.
He wore the same clothes he had been wearing before his defeat. Those same pair of black jeans and black boots. His chest was bare and he clutched the Masamune in his right hand.
He glanced around the emerald cavern and down to the green river. While he was looking at the sights he felt a sudden pain in his knee. He looked down to see a one-foot tall tonberry.
"Hey!" He shouted as he made eye contact with the little green creature.
"Jenova," He said in a low voice. "Come with I Jenova."
"I am not Jenova!" Sephiroth yelled angrily.
"Planet is wrong never, you Jenova." The creature waved his hand as a way of saying 'follow me' and Sephiroth did so.
The creature stopped before a solid emerald wall. "Come with I Jenova." It said again. Figuring it was futile to argue Sephiroth nodded his head. The tonberry waved his arms around and the wall vanished. The tiny being walked through the doorway and Sephiroth followed.
Sephiroth stood alone in front of three large stones of equal size that were unsurprisingly green in colour. On each stone rested a different creature. The stone on the left supported the same tonberry that Sephiroth had already had the pleasure of meeting, upon the centre stone stood a black and yellow striped mog who looked like a two-foot tall bumble bee and on the final stood a flame red coloured moomba.
"Jenova," Said the mog in a deep and frightening voice. "You have been charged with crimes against the planet, how do you plead?"
"I am not Jenova, I am Sephiroth!" He yelled with disrespect.
"Curious," Said the mog. " The planet recognises you a Jenova."
"It's strange," Sephiroth tried to explain. "I have Jenova cells without my body, maybe that makes sense."
"Does it yes!" Yelled the moomba.
"Alright Sephiroth, how do you plead?" The mog said almost sarcastically.
"I plead not guilty." He replied.
His response made the mog angry.
"Not guilty? Did you not burn down Nibelhiem? Did you not kill the last of the Ancients? Did you not summon meteor?"
"Yes but-"
"But nothing!" Yelled the mog which would have been comical if the smaller being had not been deciding his fate. "You did all of these things and then some."
"It was me but it wasn't, Jenova had infected my mind, my spirit, even my body. I was not responsible for my actions. Please understand my plight." Sephiroth pleaded.
"Very well." Said the mog.
"Fight soul for you will." Said the moomba.
"Coliseum of souls, there you fight." Said the tonberry.
Everything went white. When Sephiroth came to he was standing in the centre of a coliseum.
There were many people in the crowds but one amongst the millions stood out. She was there, Aeris was there.
He looked at her and a tear ran from his eyes. He mouthed the words "I'm sorry." before he was interrupted by the mog's voice.
"Sephiroth, you will fight for your soul. If you lose you will be locked in and under sea cavern and never released, if you win you will regain your soul and be give your after life freedom."
"Very well," Sephiroth agreed. "I'll do it."
Aeris entered the coliseum. Sephiroth glanced at her. He threw his sword to the ground.
"No! I won't kill her!" He yelled.
The girl vanished.
"Your punishment is incarceration." Said the mog.
"No! You tricked me!" Sephiroth yelled back.
"We did no such thing, you lost."
"Wait!" A voice from the crowd yelled. It was Aeris.
She ran through the crowd and to the ledge that the three judges sat upon.
"Reason what have you to question us?" Asked the moomba
"I, I know this man, in fact I was killed at his hands but I do know he is truly sorry. His actions to harm the planet were not of his own doings but of Jenova's. Jenova committed these crimes not him."
"I understand young lady," Said the mog. "Yet we still have to do something with him."
"Can't you send him back? He at least deserves a chance to live his own life."
"We cannot send him to Gaia, he would surely be killed for his crimes and be right back here again."
The tonberry mumbled incoherently.
"Pardon?" Asked the mog.
"Um, thinking was I of Spira."
"Spira!" The mog yelled. "What a great idea!"
The tonberry smiled.
"Sephiroth, we have decided you will be given another chance at life on the troubled planet of Spira. It is a harsh world with a recurring threat, you must help others if you wish to have a peaceful afterlife."
"Thank you and Aeris, thank you also I am truly sorry that our paths crossed in such away." He wiped a forming tear from his eye.
Aeris noted his sadness and jumped from the ledge that she was standing on. She ran to Sephiroth with open arms. Sephiroth hugged her and held her afraid to let go.
"Please," Aeris said. "Don't cry. I know it wasn't your fault, none of it was."
"I am very sorry." He replied.
"Don't be, I'm with my family now. My mother and father are here for me so I'm not alone. Now go do yourself proud."
She removed herself from his grip. Sephiroth took his sword from the ground and held it firm once more.
Aeris kissed his cheek and said "Good bye."
Sephiroth smiled at her. The mog waved his arms and Sephiroth was gone.
The end of chapter one. What did you think please review and let me know.
