CLASH! The sound of Cloud's buster sword and Sephiroth's masamune rang throughout the battle arena. It had been two years since Cloud and the gang beat Sephiroth, but somehow he came back. "So Cloud, are you ready for my real power?" "Go ahead do your worst." Cloud said, with a bit of sarcasm in his voice. Sephiroth then yelled out, "Sin Harvest," and Cloud suddenly felt very weak and was barely able to hold onto his sword when. Crash! Down came the masamune completely shattering Cloud's buster sword Cloud looked at his sword then up at Sephiroth just as he was about to stab the masamune through Cloud when saw say out of the corner of his eye Barret who unleashes a full hail storm of his hand gun killing Sephiroth but alas, he was to late the sword drove right through Cloud's heart and everything went black.

Cloud awoke at what appeared to be a dining room with a huge table and some dishes, it seemed that someone was about tot have dinner. "Well your finally awake well I dont know if you could call it that because on earth I believe that you call this the eternal sleep. Said a voice from behind Cloud. He turned around and saw a man, blue in color and seemed to omitting fire. "Where am I?" Cloud asked. "Welcome to hell buddy." Said the blue man. Cloud couldn't believe what he heard how could he be in hell when he did so much good on earth? " Your probably wondering why you are down here well first I guess I should tell you who I am. Names Hades lord of the dead hi how ya doing?" Cloud then said " names cloud, I want to know right now why I am down here?" Hades walked over to the table and said " first shouldn't we have something to eat?" Cloud just then realized how hungry he was he sat down and enjoyed all the good food that he had back at home.

After the meal the table disappeared and in its place appeared a throne for Hades and a couch for Cloud " OK" Hades grunted " time to get to business. He sat down in the throne then commanded that Cloud sit down on the couch." I have recently been having this problem." Hades started. " You see, there is this guy, names Hercules and he has been giving me a lot of trouble lately." "And you want me to get rid of him." Cloud interrupted. " What's in it for me?" Hades responded " I will give you unlimited power you will be unstoppable." Cloud looked at him and said " I have power, the thing I want more than anything is revenge." Just then Cloud remembered about Aeries "I also want to find Aeries." Hades smiled and said " you drive a hard bargain but sure all you have to do is sign this and you get what you want if I get what I want, but to make sure I do get what I want I am going to have to take your soul but you I will give you power you will be unstoppable" A piece of parchment and a pen appeared in Hades hand the writing on the paper was illegible but Cloud signed it anyway thinking about how he was going to get back at Sephiroth and find Aeries at the same time. Hades took the paper and smiled an evil grin. Then Cloud remembered one important element. He had no weapon.
