Ch.1: The trouble I've seen…

"I saw him, Tifa," said Cloud, "I saw him in my dream."  It was 10 years later.  Evil was absent in the planet.  Mako was no longer a source of fuel and meteor no longer posed a threat. 

"Sephiroth is dead, Cloud.  We killed him.  All of us." said Tifa.  They had gotten married 2 years after the big adventure.  No kids yet but they were content.

"Then forget it," he said, "Let's go.  The train's about to get there." 

Avalanche was still a rebel group.  It was against the governments cloning project now.  A war had started between Midgar and Yuffie's hometown of Wutai.  They had not taken sides but wanted to stop either side from attacking.  The cloning was to make an army of fighters.  A copy of the one creature who's DNA everyone wanted to copy, Jenova. 

They jumped off the train: Tifa, Cloud, Barrett, and RedXIII.  They were stopped in their tracks toward the old Shinra mansion by some familiar faces, the Turks.  Omnislash!  Cloud was now well trained in his Limit Break.  He would have taken them down too if they had not cast S-barrier, the new super barrier of the group.  He was flung back. 

"Surprised?" asked Elena.

"We cornered you at last," said Tseng, "Arise Silver Ifrit!"

He began summoning but was suddenly shocked on the back of the neck.  The same happened with the other Turks.  They passed out.  Cait Sith showed up at the rear "Hi guys," he said, " sorry I'm late."  He had the shocking device in his hand.  He had secretly attached the micro-shockers to the back of the Turks' necks.  Cait Sith had remained inside the government as a double agent.

"Damn right!" said Barrett, "That was too close.  Now take us to the cloning lab so we can destroy it."

"Right this way!" Cait began hopping the way.  The others followed.  It was a long way and Red let Tifa ride his back after the first hour.  When they reached the lab a group of guards was waiting, ready. 

"Arise Neo-Alexander!" they chanted.  Neo-Alexander rose out of the ground, the clone lab on top of him.  "Try as you might you can't get to the lab."

Barrett used his Limit break Avalanche to take care of the guards, which really no longer posed a threat.  "How the hell we gonna get up there?"

"Arise Neo-Bahamut!" shouted Cloud.  They rode the large dragon up to the top of Neo-Alexander and used giga-flare to destroy him. 

Once in the lab Barrett let out a huge burst from his machine gun arm, shattering every beaker in site.  He looked inside the viewing window to see a Jenova clone that was already made.  "How we gonna destroy that?"

Cait Sith threw his dice and pulled everyone out of the lab before they landed.  BOOM!  The lab was gone.  Everyone looked quite startled at Cait Sith.  Suddenly they heard a loud clapping behind them with mild laughter.

They turned and Cloud couldn't believe his eyes.  "Dad…"
