DISCLAIMER: ALL CHARACTER IN THIS FIC BELONG TO SQUARE AND NOT ME. BLAH…
BLAH… THE USUAL STUFF
NOTES: THIS WILL BE CONFUSING FOR A WHILE BECAUSE THERE ARE TO ARIESS (IF THAT IS A WORD) BUT HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GET THE POINT. THIS CHAPTER ALSO SETS UP A LITTLE OF THE PLOT. THE STUFF ABOUT ZACK IS SOMETHING I PUT INTO PROVE IT WAS ARIES, BUT IS still PRETTY BAD. IN MY MIND YUFFIE GREW HER HAIR A BIT LONGER, she's also a bit older so the age gap isn't to great between her and vincent(WHAT ITS MY FIC, BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT JUST IGNORE).
DARK VISIONS
The wedding party stood in complete silence as the too figures entered the bar. None more silent that those that had saved the world. For before them stood what they thought could only be ghosts. The silence was only broken by the stirrings of young Aries. She looked over to where everyone was looking and saw two people at the door. A woman with longish brown hair and a pink dress and coat on that was kind of dirty and old, carrying a big stick. The other was a man with long silver hair and was carrying a big sword that was nothing like her daddy's. He was all dressed in black. Before any one could stop her, she ran up to sat hello "Hi" she cried as she reached the woman's feet "what's your name?"
"Well, hello there little one my name is Aries an-" she was cut off mid word by a shout from the little girl in front of her.
"So is mine!" the little girl cried, sticking her hand out to shake Aries seniors hand. Older Aries just looked at her. "My name is Aries strife! Nice to meet ya."
The little girls name seemed to punch Aries, like a fist, from out of nowhere. 'Aries strife? Clouds daughter?' She then took the girls hand and shook it "A pleasure I am sure," she said the finishing her last sentence "this is Sephiroth."
Tifa, from the back of the room, shouted "Aries get back here right now!!"
"Yes, mom" she said sulking back to her mothers side.
'Cloud and Tifa together?' Aries looked around at her friends the shock was clear in their faces. 'How long have I been gone for?' More questions formed in her mind to many to even try and answer. Cloud was the first one to step forward.
"Is this some kind of trick," he said his body trembling "you to died years ago. This is impossible. I saw you die," then looking at Sephiroth, "he killed you and then…" He began to break down, only stopped by Tifa placing her hand on his shoulder. The tears gently rolled down his face.
"Look we haven't the time for this we have get a move on," Sephiroth said from the door way "I said coming here would be a mistake. They'll never understand!"
"What, and we're to fight of an army alone?" replied Aries over her shoulder.
"Hey? What the %&^# are you talking about?" Cid called while moving to Cloud and Tifa.
"We can't talk here. Could we talk in private?" Aries said looking at her friends, then glancing at the other guests.
"Dad could you take every one back to the house? And send someone down with our weapons and armour? Oh yeah and a change of clothes" Yuffie whispered to her father while tugging on her dress.
"Sure kid." Godo replied. Then blasted out, "Mon, every one whose not meant to be here back to my place."
Elmyar turned to her friend "Shera could you take Aries and Marlene with you, I want to stay here for a bit."
"No problem," she replied. "Mon Kids you're coming with me" and led the children away by the hand.

Soon the only ones let in the bar were the members of AVALANCHE, the Turks and Elmyar. They were standing face to face with Aries and Sephiroth. Elmyar now step forward to see her daughter 'reborn'. "If you are truly my Aries you could tell me who your first boyfriend was, so what was his name?" she asked looking deep into her eyes.
Aries looked back at her step-mother, "His name was Zack, the first time you meet him you said you didn't like because he was in SOLDIER and I should have nothing to with him. But I went behind your back and kept seeing him until you found out, Just before he left on his last mission."
"Hurry up, we not got time for twenty questions!" Sephiroth said "time is short enough as it is."
"It is you Aries!" Elmyar whispered as she step forward and embraced her daughter. "God, its good that your back."
"Its good to be back mom." Releasing her self from the embrace and looking into her mother eyes she continued "Listen can we talk later we have to do something right now But I promise that I'll be back home after this is all over."
"You better be!" She said turning to leave she whispered to Cloud "Make sure of it."
"No problem" he whispered back, "no problem at all." 'I wont let her go this time.'
After her mother had left, Aries turned to Cloud. "We have to leave soon there is no time to waste. We have to get to the sight of the Temple of the Ancients."
"Can I ask one thing before we go darting of around the world," Reno continued "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!" The others gave him a bamboozled look and shared one with each other. "I mean come on, one minute we're celebrating a &*#%*^&% wedding and the next were off on some wild goose chase!"
"He has a point you know" Elena said from the back of the bar raising a glass to here lips.
"Let's just say I think we have to go." Cloud replied thoughtfully scratching his head nervously. "I've just got a feeling"
"Great we're of on a feeling" Reno replies.
"So you ARE coming then?" Barret said with a questioning look on his face.
"Well we are now good guys aren't we?"
"God, this'll be interesting." Rude mumbled rubbing his temples.
At that moment the door of the bar opened. Aries and Sephiroth spun to face the fearsome creature the imagined was sneaking up on them. They were met by a group of rather scared servants carrying a collection of bags and items. "Miss…," one of the servants was cut off by Sephiroiths blade inches from his throat. "M, M, M, Miss Yuffie y, y, your father sent these i, i, items for you."
"It's alright Mr I-was-a-big-bad-SOLDIER I asked my father to send our gear down to save some of your precious time!" Yuffie said approaching the poor servant "Its ok now tell my father to take care of Shera, Elmyar and the kids and we'll be back as soon as we can."
"Ok Miss Yuffie" the servants then quickly left the bar.
Yuffie then took the veil out of her hair and replaced it with her usual head band and the tied her hair into a pony-tail. "Lets get started then."

The group stood on the bridge of the re-modelled Highwind. Cid was at the helm looking over the blue cloudy sky. The other spread themselves out on the bridge talking amongst themselves. "Now we're air borne, can some one tell me what we're are doing?"
"Yeah, I could do with some answers too." Vincent interrupted walking closer to the great window that was the front of the Highwind. Yuffie quickly took his side and cuddled close. He smiled and looked up to Aries. "Well?"
"Let's see," she began "It started a few of day ago. I woke up on the shores of the lake in the City of the Ancients. It was a strange sensation, one minute you're in a warm and safe, the next you're cold, wet and in the dark. But I wasn't alone when I opened my eyes I saw Sephiroth. At first a was so scared that I went for my staff, but he didn't attack, he just stood there. So we were like that for a long time just watching, until I collapsed." She paused a second for air and then continued. "While I was out I had a strange dream. My mother, my real one Iflana was standing on a cliff with me beside her. The world a round us was barren and dead then she turned to me.
'This is the future of or planet Aries, unless you do something about it. A great evil is now massing its forces to ravage our world.' She looked at me with tears in her eye's. 'You have grown a lot since the last time I saw you, but our time her is limited I can't talk for long.'
'Mum… I've missed you. What can I do?'
'Near the Temple of the Ancients there is a gate. To open it you will need the son of Jenova, he is the only one who can. You must trust him he has been reborn like you. Jenova's control of him has been destroyed, he is now good.'
'But can I what if he turns.'
'He won't but watch him if you like, but the planet has removed the evil from him he will not turn' a bolt crimson of lightening cracked above us. 'Our time is short, how I've longed to see you but we will meet again.' She looked over to me.
'Mum… what shall I do at the gate.' She began to fade right in front of me. ' Mum… mum... MUM!!!!'
Then she disappeared right there. I woke up in front of a fire in a wood with Sephiroth looking at me. The next few days we spent looking for you. The rest you know.
"Sir, coming up on the location now," one of the officer shouted to Cid.
"What the…?" Cid exclaimed looking at the red storm clouds gathered over the ruins.
"It begins." Said Sephiroth out of the window.
