A/N: o.k. this story is going to parallel the story 'The battle has been lost, but the war?' and yes I did ask permission to do this so don't delete my story for that guys. This first chapta is from Cait Sith's/Reeve's POV in current time style.

Disclaimer: FF7 belongs to Squaresoft and 'The battle has been lost, but the war?' belongs to 'Mako-Magic' I don't own either of those things so no deleting story for no disclaimer people. :P

We were in the crater finally and about to begin the final battle, we're finally going to stop Sephiroth. We easily defeat the last form of Jenova without even breaking a sweat. Cloud walks up to Sephiroth and they both lock gazes holding their swords up ready to fight, I'm starting to get nervous from all the tension in the room. But instead of fighting Sephiroth smirks, he smirks! What the heck is going on here? "You can give up the act now, Cloud, you've done well...now kill them." Sephiroth tells him. What the heck why would he listen to you?

Cloud is lowering his weapon...WHAT THE HECK? "Sure Master, if you say so." Cloud says to Sephiroth...Oh shoot this can't be good.

"Er...what's going on?" Tifa asks Barrett I hear it because I'm really close to them, "Why is Cloud talking to Sephiroth?"

"I dunno" Barrett replies obviously confused, "But more to the point why did Cloud call him Master?" That's what I'm wonderin to Barrett.

"Cloud?" Tifa says confused by Cloud's actions but, then again, who isn't?

Cloud turns to face us, "...and now, traitors, you die." He says really calmly wait a minute.

"WHAT?!?!" We all yell, well except Vincent but he's always quiet. Then Tifa speaks up.

"Cloud are you okay? Why are you listening to Sephiroth?"

"You want to kill us?" I muttered to myself, not understanding what Cloud is doing.

"Yeah Cloud, what are you doing?" Yuffie asked angry but I can tell that she's also afraid of what might happen by the tone in her voice, but who isn't in our group right now?

"Cloud only answers to me, and he's doing what any good puppet would do, obeying me" Sephiroth answers for Cloud, oh why don't you shut up Sephiroth, "he has done for a while now. Haven't you traitors noticed?" Then they both start laughing while looking at us cruelly, "I said kill them." Sephiroth ordered Cloud coldly. Cloud starts to advance on us, holding the Ultima weapon in both hands; he stops in front of us and gets into his battle stance.

"Cloud, what the hell do ya think you're doing?" Cid yells at him getting angry with Cloud.

"You're first Cait" Cloud says to me, wait a minute, oh shoot. His sword comes down cleaving my robotic body in half.

The last thing I hear from the microphone is everyone else yelling.

Oh, no, this isn't good, I start running down the stairs of what remains of the Shinra building trying to find someone who can fly a helicopter then I run into Reno, literally, "Hey Reeve watch where you're going." He says to me then I grabbed his shirt pushing him to the wall startling him.

"Don't tell me what to do and do you know how to fly the helicopters?" I ask him, not wanting to waist any time wanting to help everyone else against Sephiroth and Cloud.

"No, but Rude does. Why?" He asks me obviously confused and startled by what I just did.

"I need to get to the Northern Crater to fight Sephiroth." I tell him then I add, "And I can't use Cait Sith because it was destroyed."

"O.k. why do you want to go can't they take care of Sephiroth without ya?" He asked with a taunting tone. He is really starting to get on my nerves.

"Cloud betrayed us and is starting to kill them alright and if you help I'll let you and the other Turks fight Cloud o.k.?" I tell him and he smirks.

"O.k. I'll help but you also have to give us some more money if we make it out alive." He says and I sigh.

"Fine now call Elena and Rude and get them ready to go." I order him and he fake salutes and I run down to the helicopter pad.

A/N: Whew finished now what did you think of the first chapter and if it sucks tell me with CONSTRUCTIVE criticism don't just flame me by going 'oh this sucks don't ever write again' and all that stuff o.k.? Thanks.
