-------------------------@
A tall girl with a sword called Masamune, stood at a cliff, near Junon. She was staring out into the sea, her long silver hair whipping around her like a flag. Her cyan eyes shone with darkness as she thought of her dead father, Sephiroth.
The girl's name was Tanli. She hated Cloud strife, with a passion. So, she hired a spy one day, to go around Nibelhiem and find out what he can about Cloud and his family. Little did Tanli know, the one she hired, Raziel, was a son of Vincent and Yuffie Valentine.
The sun was setting beautifully. Tanli grew impatient. Masamune bumped against her leg with every breeze. Tanli's cell phone rang. She picked it up and flipped it out.
"hello?"
"hi, Tanli. It's me. Sorry I called so late...I had trouble getting alone. Dad kept holding me up. Anyways, I found out that they DO have a son. His name is Kane. He looks just like his father."
Tanli growled and sat down on a nearby boulder to talk more.
"great...well...have you had any success with the materia?"
"no. I'm sorry, but it's so hard to get Cloud's materia! I almost got bahamut today...but I was seen."
"that's ok. I'm thinking that I should just go to Nibelhiem. I need to read those books in the basement of the mansion, so I can find that note my dad left for me."
"what note? You never brought this up with me before..."
"yeah, my dad told me he'd leave something behind for me, if he died. So, I found his will, but a part of it was written in invisible ink. I read it, with the help of some light, and it said, 'Tanli must get the note, in the book, in the Shinra mansion basement.' So...that's how I learned of it."
"great. One problem. Shinra is searching the mansion...they are trying to find ways to unsolved the mysteries of the promised land and Sephiroth."
"my father...it's too bad Cloud killed him. Dirty little-"
"hey, I have to go now...I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye."
"bye. I'm coming to Nibelhiem tomorrow. Look for me, I might look different...that's what eleven years does to ya though."
"right. Bye."
"bye." Said Tanli, hanging up.
She sighed and turned, ready for her journey to Nibelhiem. She was lucky, finding a Chocobo shack to buy one. She rode half the way and then set the bird free to return to it's masters.
Standing before Nibelhiem, memories came back to her. Fond and horrifying ones. She walked past the gates of the town, looking at the rusted truck that had always been there. It had been so long since she last set foot on these humble grounds. Looking for Raziel, she crossed her arms and walked along, attracting attention to herself, with her unnatural silver hair and cyan eyes...and her black clothes didn't help.
A tall, dark and handsome guy strode up to Tanli. "Tanli? Is it really you?"
"yes. my name is Tanli. Who are you?"
"Raziel..." he said, smiling at her broadly.
Tanli then smiled and hugged him tightly, being overcome with emotion. They smiled at each other for a while, then Raziel lead Tanli to a shady spot where he liked to hang out.
"I've missed you so much! Dad and the old gang have been getting together. Cid Highwind has died, by the way...and I say good riddance."
"ditto. If I may travel from the topic...you look as handsome as your dad did...I saw pictures. You dress the same, only you have two regular arms...but his claw is awesome too." She corrected herself quickly, but blushed from the embarrasing statement she had just made.
Raziel only smiled. His long, black hair was slightly strung across his face as the wind moved it.
Tanli blinked back at him. She found him very attractive now...last time she saw him, she was too young to care about relationships of the romantic kind. Now, at 17 years of age...she realized what she'd been missing.
"I'm a little tired from my trip, uh...can I have a tour of your house?" said Tanli.
"Sure! I live in cloud's old house. It's nice, for a small house." Raziel said, leading Tanli to his front door.
She looked around, the living room was nice. They had built on a second story, where the bedrooms were. Raziel looked around, not one sight of his mom or dad.
They went upstairs and ran into...Vincent.
"hello son, what're you...who is that?" he said, looking around him to see Tanli.
"this is Tanli. She used to live here. She was my friend...and she's come back! All the way from Junon...I was going to let her use my bed to sleep on for the time being." Said Raziel.
Vincent looked at Tanli in a grim way. "alright....nice to meet you....Tanli." He said, going down the stairs quickly.
Tanli rolled her eyes, then turned to Raziel. He sighed and continued up the stairs.
"there's my bed...I'll be downstairs..."
"no! stay here..." Said Tanli, sitting on his bed. "i wanna talk."
He smiled a bit then sat on his bed with her. "what have you been doing lately, Tanli?"
"thinking. Dreaming. That's all. I wish my dad were here to give me guidance. But, he's gone forever...what about you?"
"well. I turned twenty a few weeks ago. I'm going to start traveling from place to place...just because."
"good. I don't think many people want to stay in Nibelhiem. Unless they're old. Or boring. I'm kidding!!!" she said with a laugh.
He stared at her. He saw the sparkles in her eyes, "you...um...d'you like me, Tanli?"
"I..." she stopped to sigh, then continued. "I like you as a friend, Raz. I can't pull myself into a relationship....yet. Because, i have to finished what my father started...." Tears hung in her eyes, but they refused to fall.
Raziel stared at her blankly for a while, then he smiled. "I love you, Tanli. I've loved you since I first saw you. I'll join your side....we'll--"
"Raziel! Come down here, now!" yelled his father from downstairs.
"I uh...I'll be back." He said with a nervous tone.
As he walked down the stairs, Tanli used barrier on herself, in case they came up with swords, if she wasn't prepared...she would need protection. She sighed and waited for a bit. Getting scared, and needing guidance, she pulled a small pendant from her shirt, that was on a silver necklace chain. It had a Japanese character on it that meant strength. Around it where these words: "I will always be there. And your strength shall come from me. Conquer all who stand against you, and show no mercy."
The words may have sounded harsh to her, when Tanli was only a child, but Sephiroth knew that he needed to give her that, at that time. For when he didn't return, he wouldn't be there in body, but he could certainly be there in spirit.
Tanli heard footsteps and suddenly put the pendant back in her shirt, then stood, her hand on the hilt of Masamune, ready for battle at any moment.
It was Raziel. She relaxed for a moment, but became tense when she saw his expression of worry and a little fear.
"You need to go, Tanli." He said, while running to her. "Leave, out of this town, off this continent, whatever! Cloud and the gang are going to kill you if you don't leave, now."
"Cloud cannot tell me, daughter of Sephiroth, what to do. I will not listen to their petty threats....My father died because of him. I will either kill them, or die trying!"
Raziel sighed and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her a bit. "Tanli! You've got to go...I love you so much!!! You don't stand a-"
Just then, Vincent called Raziel and Tanli down. Tanli released herself from Raziel's grip and went down the stairs first. Raziel caught up with her and they both walked outside...of course, cloud and friends were waiting for her.
"Tanli...the daughter of...Sephiroth?" mumbled Nanaki.
"I won't kill you if you all stop now...I promise." Said Tanli quite plainly.
Cloud barred his teeth in discust and made his way to her. "Your Father, Sephiroth, killed many people....causing great pain...I'll kill you too....just like i killed him..."
*he must die....* said an inward voice to Tanli. *Kill him! Avenge me! Your father...*
Tanli got out Masamune and smiled. "If that's the way you wish for it to be, Cloud..."
Cloud got his sword out and smiled. They were going to fight it out, one on one. Cloud took the first blow, but Tanli blocked it easily. They went on and on, metal clashing. Tanli finally got a couple of slices in, hitting cloud twice in the chest, but they weren't deep enough to kill him.
He then brought his sword down swiftly, catching her off guard, slicing her in the ribs. She screamed in pain. Everyone but Raziel was smiling at the victory. Cloud brought his sword up, for a final blow to end her life.
Raziel quickly got his pistol out and shot Cloud in the chest, making him fall on the ground.
Raziel then raced over to Help Tanli...
