Here is my idea of what happened after Final Fantasy VII drew to a close.
Like I said in the summary, this is my first story, so hopefully you'll
enjoy it.
____________________________________________________________________________ __________
Most people know the story of how a brave man named Cloud Strife joined a Resistance force called avalanche, and went on a remarkable journey to find himself and even save the planet from the evil influence of Shinra Inc. who was draining the planets souls to create a supposedly better power source. And in the midst of all this, he has gotten trapped in a love triangle, lost someone close to him, and even realized he himself was somewhat a fraud. But 10 years have passed since Cloud's arch nemesis, Sephiroth, has summoned a large meteor and sent it straight for the Earth, and no one quite knows what happened to the Earth's saviors after they crawled out of the hole and flew off. But know the truth is uncovered. And here is the story of Cloud Strife and his closest friends...
____________________________________________________________________________ __________
When Cloud crawled out of the hole, he was but a young adult, trying to find his way in the world after becoming most famous for saving it. Soon after he realizes that Tifa, his closest childhood friend, is even more than that to him. She is the one he loves. Cloud has trouble realizing this at first, since he has only experienced a few crushes, but now he is sure that Tifa is the one that he should be with for the rest of his life. Barret, deciding that he had some business to take care of with old friends, travels to his home town and tries to explain to them exactly what happened that day long ago when his best friend was supposedly killed and Barret lost his arm. He tells them about his recent confrontation and after much agony and stubbornness, he finally replaces their hate with understanding. In the meantime, Cid is back in his hometown, hoping to develop a new kind of rocket, a ship even, that he can use to travel the deepest parts of space. He is being funded by a new Incorporation, Staria Inc., whose intention is not to destroy for money, but to help find better, more efficient ways to use resources instead of the current, damaging ways used now. Yuffie, having reached a new point in her life, is now a bounty hunter, along with Vincent, and soon Yuffie and Vincent find that they too have more than a partnership, but slowly begin to realize romantic interest in one another. They do not yet have any plans for marriage, but who knows what the future may hold. Red XIII, or Nanaki as he is originally called, has gone traveling the world for a better understanding and relationship with nature. Or at least that's what he said before he left the group the day after the meteor incident. No one has since seen hide or hair of him, and people have seen to forgotten about him. But not the group. They remember strongly his contribution to the efforts of Avalanche. And one cannot forget Cait Sith. The very strange doll has resumed employment to Golden Saucer, where he occasionally sees members of the group when they feel like visiting. He has proven to be a very popular attraction at the Golden Saucer, probably because of his status as hero. And even though he is just a cat and a strange moogle doll, he is an important part of Avalanche. For Aeris, well her fate had been sealed, but not a day goes by that Cloud doesn't think of her. She was an important part of his life, and she lost her life in the hands of Sephiroth. As for Sephiroth himself, no one knows. Although he is thought to be dead, Cloud for some reason thinks differently. He has strange visions of him sometimes, and everyone just tells him that is still a little traumatized. But he can't quite seem to convince himself that what they say is true. Sephiroth is dead, isn't he?
