The rainbow of colours in Ultima
Weapon's blade shined on the grim face of Cloud Strife. In front of him Aeris
kneeled, head down, hands clasped. Exactly the way he remembered seeing her
before Sephiroth drove a sword into her heart. A tear fell from Cloud's eye as
he remembered the death of Aeris. She didn't like you Cloud, leave her be.
Cloud shook the voice from his head, but still it came. She died Cloud,
leave her be. "No!" At the sound of Cloud's voice Aeris looked up. A small
smile spread across her lips. "Aeris! Get back!" Cloud screamed when she did
nothing. "Go away please!" Still she did nothing. She doesn't listen she
never listened… Suddenly Aeris began to transform, she was soon someone
totally different, and Cloud could not tell who she was. She still had her
hands clasped but the way that she did, was unfamiliar to Cloud.
"The stream between to worlds
strengthens everyday, soon it will begin to destroy both worlds, help me,
Cloud, come and fight the one whom is causing the stream, and help to destroy
it." Cloud shook his head. What is this? What does it want? The voice in
his head grew louder with unasked questions; What stream… Who must I fight…
How do I fight it… WHAT IS THIS?
"Answer me!" Still the one who looked
like Aeris did not reply to Cloud. Suddenly a black-robed figure appeared.
"Sephiroth clone!" Cloud ran forward, swinging Ultima Weapon over his head.
Suddenly the Ultima Weapon shattered and the Buster Sword took its place. Cloud
swung the sword but it passed through the figure without a scratch. The figure
knocked him backwards and grabbed the sword. He pressed the large blade to
Cloud's neck. "Who…who are you?"
"I am…your worst…NIGHTMARE!" The
figure stood and pulled his hood back.
"Ahhh!" Cloud sat up with a jolt,
sweating all over, bed sheets tangled around him. Suddenly the door sung open
and Tifa Lockheart walked in.
"It's okay Cloud, you were having a
dream…"
"No! It's not okay! It was the same
one, only stronger…"
"Cloud, calm down! Tell me about the
dream." Tifa said, sitting on the side of the bed, like a mother comforting a
child with a nightmare.
"It is the same one, the one where I
am standing holding Ultima Weapon, and Aeris is standing praying and she
changes into another Aeris, and she says something, and a Sephiroth clone
appears, I raise Ultima Weapon, and it shatters, replaced by Buster Sword and I
slice at the clone, but it passes through it and it knocks me back, fighting
like nothing I have ever seen before. It places a blade on my throat, and I ask
it who it is, and it answers that it is my worst nightmare. It lifts its hood,
and I am overwhelmed by fear, and I wake up."
"What is it that Aeris says?" Tifa
asked a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"I…I
don't know. It was o real, Tifa! So…real…" He said, his voice starting low,
rising, and ending in a whisper. Tifa nodded and walked out. "Help, me Cloud,
destroy the stream…" He whispered after she left…
