Silent Sacrifice
Disclaimer: I'd like to apologize for this crud. This was just a random idea that popped into my mind. I just enjoyed a certain comic strip too much (specifically two installments of said comic strip, one of which inspired me). I'd also like to say that FF7 is owned by SquareEnix. And yes, I did get the idea for the title from FF7.
Chapter Two
The Church
.:.
There was a crisis. Cloud realized the nature of the crisis when a woman with black hair wearing a black hood and cloak walked up to him. She held a pamphlet that had a white wing with a halo above it.
"The end is near," the girl said with a grim smile, "those who will remain are those who follow the Great Mother. She has established her church so that all of her followers will be united and receive her orders."
"I'm not interested," Cloud stated, knowing he got a vague idea who this 'Great Mother' is.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer," the girl stated, her voice taking a menacing edge, "Mother has ordered us to kill those who won't take up arms for her."
"Do you even know who or what this 'Great Mother' is?"
"Yes, I do," the girl stated, "The Great Mother Jenova."
He figured. Another damn Jenova's Witness. He had heard of the cult; they've covered almost the entire Planet. The girl revealed the hilt of her sword that was covered by the long and thick robe.
"So, are you in? Our Great Brother is coming and will bring about the end of days," she stated.
"So, Sephiroth hasn't given up then," Cloud stated.
"Geostigma, the affliction of the unbelievers is still ravaging this planet and through them, he will return," the girl stated with a grin.
"You guys are sick," Tifa stated, glancing at the girl who was speaking to Cloud in her bar, "I don't want to ever see you sickos in my establishment."
"What are you going to do about it?" the girl asked.
Oh no, Cloud thought as he saw Tifa putting her gloves on, worst thing to ask Tifa.
.:.
She stood up from the grimy concrete and glared at Tifa as she brushed off the city's grime off of her robes.
"You'll regret messing with the Church of the One Winged Angel and the Latter Day Summons!" the girl shouted before stalking away.
"I could have kicked her out," Cloud stated.
"True, but she challenged me to react," Tifa replied.

Author's Corner: 10/12/08
Haven't written anything recently so I had to write this random drabble. My bf broke up with me earlier this month and today would have been the two-year anniversary, so it's a rough day. But this was an insane idea that jumped into my head. I thought that they'd be treated similar to how the majority of people treat Earth's Jehova's Witnesses. That and I'm hoping to save up enough money so that I could get at least one Jenova's Witness t-shirt. .
So yeah, this was just an insane tidbit which might turn into another fanfic. I don't know though. I just hope I don't get burned for the use of VG Cats in this. This is the second FF7- related one shot I've ever done (I hope to upload my first one shortly before this one). But yeah, still working on BtV and Survivor's Guide (I'm stuck with the rules... I've run out of steam after that idea that hit me while finishing the second chapter...).
