Nope, I don't own any rights to anything I'm writing about!
Prologue
The meteor has hit. Many have died, and yet many still live. The time for terror seems to have passed, but something more terrible than anything yet faced is stirring, An existence unknown to all but itself has given it time to grow mentally and physically, though it has done nothing but sleep for millions of years, to be awoken only if the other five failed or were destroyed. The time has come and it will announce itself shortly.
Chapter 1
Midger is in ruins. As Cloud Strife, ex-SOLDIER, walks through the destroyed city, he looks over the broken homes and mangled streets with something resembling disgust. It has been nine days since he fought and destroyed Sephiroth, and much longer than that since he set foot in this place. He can't stop the memories from hitting him over and over, however. The day he met Aerith, stopping to buy a simple flower from her for a single gil. The reactors that he destroyed with AVALANCHE, Barret Wallace's anti-Shin-Ra faction. The toppling of the huge tower by those that he was out to destroy as merely a job, at least in the beginning. It seems so long ago, yet the memories are fresh and vivid in his mind.
At least it's over, he thinks to himself. The journey he embarked upon led to great self discovery, the loss of a woman he was beginning to love, and the eventual victory over those who he set himself against, those that set themselves against him, and himself. None of it came free though, and now that he has decided to make a home for himself here, with many of the people he came to love as family along the way, he must find a way to repair the city of Midger. Barret and Tifa Lockheart, a woman whom he has developed some sort of feeling for that he can't begin to describe, are also doing what they can. The damage Sephiroth caused is not light by any means, and the destruction is so great that it leaves every person who has come back here with a feeling of hopelessness.
As Cloud comes around to the rubble that was once the Slums, where Barret's old bar, and the headquarters for AVALANCHE, once stood he finds Barret and Tifa, just as he expected he would.
"Yo, Cloud, what the hell you been doin all day?" Barret growls.
"Just walking around thinking mostly, wondering how we're supposed to fix all of this with only the few hundred people that are still here." Cloud replies.
"Man, don't worry bout that shit, we did what needed to be done, and we're still alive. I've still got Marlene, and that's all I give a damn about. We're gonna get this place back to normal, or better, I hope.
"Cloud, everything is going to be ok. It's over, and we have each other." Tifa says and immediately blushes and stares with great intent and her feet.
"Yeah, well, I don't know if everything is ok, but maybe it will be." Cloud replies while staring from Tifa to Barret and back again.
Things have never really been easy, and Coud doesn't expect the simple life to start now. He has the people he's close to, (or most of them anyway, he thinks when a vision of Aerith pops into his head showing him all her beauty and the kindness of her soul) and he has at least a little hope for some form of a normal life coming to him, if not soon then eventually. He can't help but feel like something isn't quite right, however, and the strange way the Planet seems to shift from time to time. He tries to explain it away as simply rumblings of pain from the meteor strike, but something tells him he's in for quite an experience, or at least some strange occurrences over the next few weeks. That's ok though, he knows that whatever comes his way, he'll be able to handle it. He took care of Sephiroth right? What could be more terrible, stronger, or more of a threat to him, and everyone else for that matter, than Sephiroth?
