Hey everyone! I have decided that Offspring just wasn't working out. As I had announced : all stories that I am going to write will be part of my Kingdom War saga. Anyway, here is the new story! As you can tell from the description and picture; it'd another story in which some of our favorite characters start to take unexpected turns in their life. Hope you enjoy!

Chapteer 1: When Discovering a Truth

Tifa had just gotten done with a huge load of customers. The days since Vincent's victory against that monster have been total hell. Shelke has been doing her best to help out around the bar, but most people just come to see either Cloud or Vincent; whom half the time aren't even there. Tifa finished cleaning up the last of the tables and headed upstairs. She was so damn exhausted that she really just wanted to crash right on the floor. She curled up in her bed and got herself comfortable. In a way; she didn't want to fall asleep, for she has been having strange nightmares recently.

They were about the old Ancients. She would see them facing off against Jenova and then going dormant. She would then see Jenova again, then see a woman who looked like a dark angel. She was almost like a female version of Sephiroth. She had long black hair, crimson eyes, decent but somewhat flat curves, and had two dark angel wings that were more darker than that of Sephiroth and Genesis. Tifa would see this woman and would swear that she has seen her before.

Tifa got up and made herself a cup of coffee to try and stay up just a little longer. She went to the bar and put a hazelnut shot in it and started drinking. She hoped that these nightmares would go away. She used to have them when she was a kid. When she would wake up, her parents would tell her that it's just a dream. She thought they were right once they ended when she was around 9.

However, since the Sephiroth Incident, they have been coming back, and they are getting more and more real. The girl she sees has even been trying to speak with her now. She would say things like, "You still don't know the truth. You are far more powerful than even Him. You could even destroy Jenova. You can do as you please. Just seek yourself out. Find yourself." There would then be images of Sephiroth, Jenova, Omega, and Genesis all getting slaughtered by a shadowy figure. Though Tifa knew that they had all done much wrong, the way she would see them get slaughtered would make her want to even try and save them.

Tifa shook off these thoughts and decided to turn on the radio. There had been news of strange murders out in the wastelands. There has also been some strange things happening near the Forgotten City and Gongaga. She was about to take another sip of her coffee when the phone rang. Who could be calling at 10 o' clock at night? She walked up the steps and answered the phone.

"Hello? Strife Delivery Service. You name it, we deliver." There was no mistaking the man on the other side of the phone.

"Hey, Tifa. It's Vincent." Tifa was shocked. He never called her. If he ever called anyone; it was Shelke, and that was once in a blue moon.

"Hey, Vince. What's going on? Everything alright?" She was curious. Why would he call me? Of all people?

"Are you busy? Did I disturb you?"

"No, no, I'm fine. Why, what is it?"

"I need you to come to Nibelheim. There is something you MUST see." Vincent then hung up without giving any further information. Tifa was a bit dumbfounded. She didn't know what to think of the situation. She thought about it for a minute, then decided to go. It was kinda cold out, so she decided to throw on the leather jacket Yuffie made or her a couple weeks before. She figured that this would help her keep her mind off the nightmares. She jumped on the new bike Cloud and Cid had made for her and took off for Nibelheim.

It wasn't real long until Tufa arrived at her destination. She got off the bike and looked around for Vincent. It didn't take long, for Vincent had popped out of nowhere and snatched her up. He covered her mouth so that she would stay quiet. He then flew her off to a nearby cliff and let her go. "I'm going to remove my hand. Will you refrain from yelling or trying to attack me or anything of that nature," Vincent said, looking straight into Tifa's eyes. She nodded her head yes. Vincent nodded back in acknowledgement and did as he said he would. Tifa took a deep breath then looked at Vincent.

"What's going on Vincent?"

"Had to get you up here where there would be no one who can hear or see us. Now, I want to give this to you." He handed her a small journal that was signed by her father. Tifa lifted her eyes in curiosity. Before she could say anything; Vincent put his finger over her mouth. "Don't say anything. Look, you need to take that home and read it as soon as you can. It contains very important information. Understand that this journal will reveal that your origins could very well be darker than even that of Sephiroth. Once you have read through it; go find Rufus Shinra. He will be able to answer any questions you may have." With that; he lifted his finger and flew off, leaving a stumped Tifa.

Tifa made it home still trying to figure out what had just happened. She was now even more exhausted. She looked at the strange journal and decided to read it tomorrow. Her head was spinning as it was. She put the book inside her drawer and went to bed.

Sleeping...

The Strange Woman had appeared again alongside of Sephiroth. Read it, they kept saying. Read it. Their voices were perfectly in sync. The dream then shifted to one of even more utter strangeness. Sephiroth appears alongside of Cloud, herself, Aerith, Cid, Vincent, and the rest of the gang. They were all laughing and joking around like nothing in the world could go wrong. Then the sky darkens and the strange woman appears and casts a spell that instantly paralyzes them all except for herself. Tifa then grew wings! They were extremely similar to the Strange woman's. She then summons a weapon she had never seen before and starts shoving it through the hearts of all whom were just paralyzed and killed them; the woman laughing as she saw Tifa doing this. The Tifa who just slaughtered all her friends and one of her greatest foes looks at the Tifa who is sleeping and gives an evil grin. Tifa then wakes up screaming.

Tifa sat up on the bed gasping for breath. She just had the worst nightmare of her life. The words Sephiroth and the woman said repeated in her head. Read it. It took Tifa a minute to process exactly what they meant. My father's journal! She hauled herself out of bed and quickly ran over to her drawer. She pulled out the book and began reading. It was all seeming extremely ordinary up until the entry about her mother's death. At first she didn't want to read it, but as she got further in; the more disturbing it got. It contained information on how his wife was the only one keeping his daughtered sheltered from her true destiny. And that destiny was being the last Dark Cetra on the planet.

Oh god...

Tifa dropped the book. She was in complete shock. She couldn't believe what what she just read. She looked down at her hands in disbelief.

What am I?

Damn. This took forever. To answer some questions : 1. Yes; Sephiroth will be coming back in this one just like in Offspring. 2. Yes; we will be seeing a much darker Tifa in this story, and yes; she will have Dark Wings 3. No, I will not delete this story and almost forget about it. 4. Yes; I will update this one as often as I can. Hope that covers everything. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
