1Chapter 3
When Sephiroth and Tidus entered the Cloister of Trials, they were quite surprised. It looked like a room with ancient writing. Tidus went to the back of the room where a strange symbol was, touched it, and an entrance appeared behind it.
"So why did you come in here Tidus?" said Sephiroth as he was solving another puzzle.
"They said a summoner has been in here for a whole day," said Tidus solving another puzzle. "I couldn't just let the summoner die."
After minutes of solving the puzzles, they were in a room with some type of elevator that went down further into the ground. Then they heard a voice from behind them.
"Hey," said Wakka as Sephiroth and Tidus turned around to see him. "What's gotten in you two. Eh, it's alright. Only summoners, apprentice summoners, and guardians are alowd down here."
They were now on the elevator going down. Sephiroth could here the song very clearly now, and he remembered the familiar feeling. It was the feeling of summon monsters. Then, Sephiroth got it, Aeons mean summoned monster in Spira.
"So what about you?" asked Tidus to Wakka.
"Me? I'm a guardian," said Wakka folding his arms. "There are guardians in there all ready. One has a short fuse. The other, well no one knows what he's thinking."
When they arrived at the bottom the room was quite different from the Cloister of Trials. It had a light red glow, a long hallway leading into another room, and a beautiful voice singing a song.
Sephiroth, Wakka, and Tidus walked together to the room further ahead where they met two new people. The room was spectacular, it had beautiful carpet, curtains, and statues, and to top it all off, a flight of stairs leading up to another room. Sephiroth hadn't seen these two since he's been in the village, but they were quite different from the rest of the villagers. One was wearing a long black dress up to her mid chest, many belts on her waist, and bunched up hair in the back with lots of different accessories. The other was at least 9 feet, had blue fur, looked like a lion, had white hair, and a broken horn on his forehead.
"What are doing here?" said the female in the black dress standing up and walking towards them.
"Told ya she had a short fuse," said Wakka while the large blue giant creature turned to stare at them.
"Didn't think we could handle it?" continued the girl on her onslaught.
"Is the Summoner safe?" said Tidus butting in.
"W-Who are you?" said the girl in a surprised voice.
But before he could answer the question the doors on the top of the stairs opened up. From it came a girl, young by the looks of it. She had short brown hair, two long arm gloves, black high heeled boots, and a flower Kimono. She seemed to struggle with standing up. Then, she collapsed. Everyone tried to get to her, but there was no need. The large blue creature ran up the stairs quickly and caught her in his large left arm.
The creature helped the girl up. 'She looks quite beautiful under the light' thought Sephiroth. She looked at the four on the ground. Sephiroth noticed that her left eye was blue, and her right eye was green.
"I've done it," said the summoner in a majestic voice. "I have become a summoner."
Wakka cheered loudly while the girl gave a relief sigh. Tidus seemed mesmerized by the girl. Sephiroth on the other hand was paying more attention to the room behind the summoner. Without noticing, Sephiroth started walking towards the room. Wakka and the others just assumed he was making sure that he summoner was alright. But they were wrong.
Sephiroth walked pass the summoner without even looking at her or the large blue creature. He knew something was there, familiar, yet it felt wrong, angry.
"Hey, what do you think your doing?" said the voice of the black dress girl. Sephiroth paid no attention and kept on going up, nearly there.
Sephiroth heard a roar of some kind, and before he knew it, got cut off by the huge blue creature. Sephiroth tried to walk passed him again, but not without being punched in the face by him. The punch sent him to the ground with Wakka.
"You can't go in there," said Wakka trying to help Sephiroth up. "Only summoners can go in there."
After Sephiroth got up he started walking towards the room where the summoner came out of. The large creature didn't bother to let him get up on the stairs. He charged at full speed. Sephiroth was quicker and drew his sword Masamune, and pointed at the creatures neck when he was feet from him.
"Go ahead, stop me," said Sephiroth in a mocking voice. "It'll be the last thing you do on this planet."
The only sound that anyone could here was the Hym of the Faith. Sephiroth quickly ran around the beast, jumped and landed on the entrance to the faith, and went inside. He noticed that the door shut quickly behind him. But continued walking foreword. There, in the middle of the small room, was a large circular stone that was glowing and taking most of the space in the room.
In a few seconds a faint image appeared before Sephiroth above the stone. It looked like a ghost.
"Are you...Sephiroth?" asked the spirit. Sephiroth nodded. "Yes, I thought as much. The council told me ahead of time you be here in this world. Don't bother asking me for my power."
"Don't worry, I'm not here to take your power," said Sephiroth calmly. "You seem quite familiar to me. We're you...Choco/Mog summon Materia?"
"Yes, once upon a time. NOW LEAVE," said the faith with anger.
Sephiroth didn't want to make the faith angry, so he turned around and headed for the exit. This faith had a lot of power and Sephiroth didn't want to mess with without his Jenova powers. Sephiroth stopped for a minute before exiting.
"You know," said Sephiroth without turning to look at the faith. "I've changed whether you believe me or not. The darkness doesn't have any control over me any more. All I really wanted was to come here was to say that I'm sorry for all the destruction and pain that I've caused for you, and the other Aeons."
Sephiroth started walking towards the exit again. Truthfully that was what he wanted to say. That he was sorry. He wanted to redeem himself.
"Wait," said the Faith causing Sephiroth to turn around a look at him. "I thought you were the same person as 1100 years ago. I was wrong, I see that you mean to change yourself. Here," he threw a dark red orb to Sephiroth who caught it in his left hand. " this Materia is for you. No ones has used in a very long time. So use it wisely. I'll tell the others about your change. Goodbye...champion."
Sephiroth was surprised about this, but he accepted the Materia, and bowed to the Faith with respect and left. When he left the room he saw the five others he was with, all looking at him. He also noticed that four Turks were there. The fourth had brown bushy hair going down his chest and his back.
"That's treason ya," said Wakka outraged. "I'm afraid were going to have to expel you from the temple. Sorry bout that."
"Why are you Turks doing here?" Sephiroth said to the Turks without paying attention to what Wakka had just said.
"We're here because the priests here told us that some unknown character entered the Cloister to Trials," said Axel agitated.
"But when we say it was you, we let it slide," said Reno smiling. "After all, we are friends aren't we?"
"In a matter of speaking," said Sephiroth smiling.
Sephiroth walked down, and went with Turks out of the temple. Reno told Sephiroth that the new Turk that he saw was called Vexen. When they went out of the temple, all the towns folk gathered around the summoner in the large circle in the middle of the village. Sephiroth saw that Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz were in the crowd on the other side. He went over and joined them.
"What going on here?" asked Sephiroth.
"Were going to see the Summoner Yuna summon an Aeon," replied Kadaj not taking his eyes off Yuna.
Yuna had a long staff in her hand, about four feet tall. It had a circular top with opening here and there. She then spread here legs about a foot apart from each other, then a large light purple circle appeared beneath her with strange symbols. Then beams of light came out shot in the sky. There a rift opened, where a large bird with large wings, and skinny body, a long neck and tail covered with feathers.
The large Aeon came down right beside Yuna where she petted it. The villagers seemed quite impressed. Though Sephiroth, Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo didn't seem surprised at all since they could also summon creatures, once upon a time. Sephiroth did seem surprised about one thing though. The Choco/Mog summon Materia appeared to be glowing with the Aeon appearing.
Sephiroth had and idea, though it might not of been the best idea he ever had. But, what the heck, he decided to go along with it. He walked over to the middle of the square through the people who were giving him strange looks. When he got there both Yuna and the Aeon Valefor were looking at him.
"Summoner Yuna," said Sephiroth confidently. " why don't you try your new Aeon against another one."
Some people gave strange looks about this, but Yuna nodded. The large bird Aeon started flying over the ground, but only by a couple of feet.
"But...where am I going to find someone with another Aeon?" asked Yuna shakily. She was still a basic summoner after all.
"Your opponent," said Sephiroth equipping the Choco/Mog materia to his armor on his left hand. "..will be me."
Before Yuna could say a word a blue wavy aura appeared around Sephiroth's left arm with the Summon Materia shining through his clothes with a dark red glow. He raised his left arm a little high so that everyone could see it. Then he turned around quickly and shot a blast of blue aura at what seemed like the crowd.
Fortunately for the crowd the blast seemed to explode feet from them. A rift like the one Valefor came out of appeared. Then a large yellow bird came running out of it, with a Japanese head band, and a Mog riding it. Half the crowd seemed amazed by the other Aeon appearing, others seemed startled.
"Let's begin shall we," said Sephiroth calmly looking into Yuna's eyes. "Choco, regular attack."
The large bird ran quickly to Valefor, jumped up, and hit the opposing Aeon with it's beak causing minor damage. Sephiroth knew that this summon was the weakest among them all.
"V..Valefor, regular attack," said Yuna shakily.
The large bird flew over and kicked the Chocobo, who dodged it easily. The Chocobo then retaliated by hitting it with it's large beak.
"C'mon Summoner Yuna," said Sephiroth in tone that made her jump. "I'm going easy on you. But since it's your first time, I'll go even easier on you. Chocobo, Boost."
The chocobo seemed gather energy around. Yuna told her Aeon to attack, and it did without missing. The crowd cheered for Yuna. Kadaj, Yazoo, Loz, and the four Turks booed her.
"Chocobo, I command you, Boost again," said Sephiroth raison his left arm to him as a sign of devotion. A faith gave him the Materia, he wasn't going to waist it.
Again the Chocobo boosted, and Valefor attacked again without missing. People were cheering louder than ever for Yuna. To the crowd the winner would be Yuna.
"Sephiroth must've lost his nerve ya?" said Wakka to Lulu who just scuffed. "His Aeon his getting the crap beaten out of him."
Sephiroth then started laughing which freaked Tidus out, and the crowd. "Fool," said Sephiroth. " you are not cut out to be a summoner if can't even beat me."
"What are you talking about, she's beating you badly, "said Tidus outraged.
"Your such a child,"said Sephiroth coldly. "Now, in this world you have a technique called Overdrive, and your Aeons have it. But we have a technique called 'Limit Break', and I'll show it to you. Choco, Limit Break, DEATHBLOW."
The chocobo ran in the other direction, and didn't seem to come back. Many people were laughing. Sephiroth was just standing there, arms folded, with a evil smile on his face. Then they herd what seemed like a stampede. Then the large chocobo was came into view. Moving at incredible speed, dust flying behind it. Then BAM. It hit Valefor at full force.
At first, it didn't seem to affect it. But then, it collapsed and disappeared in a bunch of pyreflies. There was silence, dead silence.
"Don't bother defeating Sin until you can beat me," said Sephiroth as walked away. The Turks and the three silver head men were cheering for Sephiroth as he walked by.
Later that night, they had a large bonfire in the middle of the village where Yuna and Sephiroth fought each other Aeon to Aeon. Wakka was over by the aurochs giving a speech about Tidus joining, them winning, and taking the cup this year. Sephiroth thought it was impossible, he heard that they haven't won in over two decades.
The Turks left the village to another part of the island, what part, Sephiroth didn't know. Loz, Yazoo, and Kadaj were all asleep in the now repaired lodge. They split the Materia they got from the Turks evenly...kind of. Sephiroth now had Enemy Skill which he hasn't used yet, Choco/Mog, and Cure. Kadaj had Bahamut Sin, Water, and Thunder. Yazoo had Contain, and Fire. And Loz had Time, and Blizzard.
Sephiroth was sitting quite close to the bonfire, gazing into the flames. He wondered if the council was looking at him, judging him, waiting for him to screw up. But there were two things that bugged him in this world.
First was that the council said that JENOVA was gone, dead, nonexistent. But he could sense her, somewhere, as if hiding under a barrier. The other was what the faith said earlier. He said that he was here 1100 years ago. Sephiroth thought the council had transported him to another planet, not move him through another time. He wanted to go back to the faith and ask him questions, but the villagers were already angry hearing that he entered the Cloister of Trials, talked to the faith, and beat Summoner Yuna at her own art. He didn't want to push it.
Sephiroth decided he should receive forgiveness from Yuna. He got up and started walking towards Yuna as Tidus left. Sephiroth couldn't help but notice that Yuna's aura was a little different, like half and half. A half-breed in other words.
"Stay away from the Summoner you traitor," said an old lady.
"I'm not a traitor because I don't support Yevon. I came to talk to Yu...Summoner Yuna," said Sephiroth harshly to the old lady.
"Yes, what do you want to talk to me about?" said Yuna who had returned to join them.
Sephiroth was trying to find the right words to say to Yuna. Summoners were regarded as the most honored among the people of this planet, and he didn't want to upset her in any way.
"I'm sorry," said Sephiroth looking into her eyes. "I'm sorry for ruining your moment of becoming a summoner, and beating you in your first call for a Aeon."
Sephiroth got down on his left leg putting his right arm over his right leg, bowing for forgiveness. He didn't hear anything except the crickets, and the burning noise that the fire made.
"I forgive you," said Yuna in a sweet tone. "But I also thank you for teaching me that it's going to be harder than I thought to be a summoner. By the way, what's your name? Wakka never told me."
Sephiroth got up from his position and stood up at his full height, 6'1. He looked at Yuna with gentle eyes and said "My name is Sephiroth. I'm the best swordsman in the world."
"Pleased to meet you," said Yuna giving a slight bow. "Are you going with us to Kilika tomorrow?"
Sephiroth knew that there was a boat leaving tomorrow, he didn't know where it was going, but thought it was going to this Kilika. Sephiroth nodded.
"Well then, I'll see you tomorrow Sephiroth," said Yuna as she sat down and began talking with the others in the small circle group.
Sephiroth went back to the crusader where he intended to get some sleep before they head out tomorrow. When he got in the tent he saw four things. Loz snoring like a behemoth, Yazoo curled up, Kadaj sleeping soundly, and Reno sitting in a chair at the counter drinking something.
Reno noticed Sephiroth and waved at him. "Yo, has it going Sephiroth? Enjoying Besaid?"
"Yeah," said Sephiroth tired.
"I saw you use summon Materia," said Reno taking another drink. "Quite impressive. I really think you kick ass."
"Thanks..I guess," said Sephiroth as he got into one of the empty beds. "Hey Reno. How many Turks are there?"
Reno burped the drink he had and turned around facing Sephiroth. "There's six of us on this island but altogether, there is ten. The other four are guarding the president right now."
"Where's your headquarters Reno?" asked Sephiroth as he laid on his bed.
"Well, we're stationed in the now ruined Zanarkand," said Reno getting up from his seat stretching his arms out.
"Final question, do you guys have files from 1100 years ago?" asked Sephiroth as he closed his eyes.
"Maybe, I don't know. Not into history ya know. Well, see in the morning."
"Wait," said Sephiroth knowing the answer to the question he was about to ask. "Your going with us tomorrow?"
"You better believe it baby,"said Reno all hyped up. Reno then left the lodge and went outside.
Sephiroth rested his eyes and began to fall asleep. While he was on the verge of going to sleep, a plan was being formed in his mind. 'I'll go to Zanarkand, find out about this planet's past, find Jenova, destroy her, and redeem my self. Anything else?' And with that, he fell asleep.
The next morning he woke early. He got up from his bed and started stretching his body. He scanned the room to see if Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz were still asleep. They were. Sephiroth went out of the tent and went into the street of Besaid. Though to his annoyance, the first thing he saw was Reno and Rude talking.
Sephiroth tried turning in the other direction in hopes of getting away from them and enjoying a peaceful morning. Too bad. Reno spotted him quickly and called him over. Reluctantly Sephiroth started walking over to him and Rude.
"Hey good morning to ya," said Reno happily. "Slept well I hope. I couldn't with all the snoring from Rude."
"...I wasn't snoring,"said Rude. "You were."
Reno looked at him for a second and blushed. Then turning back to Sephiroth, began telling about what they were going to do.
"Yo, we're going to the beach for some...exercise, wanna come?"said Reno. Sephiroth nodded. "Cool, then we'll explain what we're going to do on the way."
Sephiroth, Reno, and Rude began walking towards the beach, on the path that Sephiroth hadn't been on before. There area wasn't that much more special than any other part of the island. It had cliffs, rocks, trees, moss, and notable, a waterfall.
"So here's what we're going to do when we get back on the beach," said Reno leading the other two. "There's some cargo that we need to load, make a quick security check though this islands violence rate is 1 in a 1,000,000, and help the crusaders with some special work. Any questions?"
"Yeah, why are the Turks here," asked Sephiroth.
"It's classified," said Reno. "What I can tell you is this: it has something to do with the special work with the crusaders."
The three remained silent through most of the trip. Sephiroth kept himself busy by noticing and looking at all of what Besaid had to offer. However, when they got to what looked like ancient ruins, they were interrupted by a loud noise.
Streaking through the air, the large blue creature that had appeared by Yuna's side was jumped up and landed a couple of feet from Sephiroth who jumped back about 10 to get some distance from him. The creature growled, slammed his fist into the ground causing a small hole, and took out a well crafted spear.
Sephiroth took up his offer for a challenge by drawing his sword from it's sheath. He put the Masamune into it's normal stance around Sephiroth. He was ready for this creature, though he thought that fighting with him was a waste of time. Rude was standing still in his normal position while Reno was sitting down on a large rock cheering for Sephiroth.
The creature started the match by running at Sephiroth with his spear in his right hand. 'He's slow' thought Sephiroth. The creature dragged his weapon upward in a attempt to cut Sephiroth. Sephiroth dodged it with ease, 'Is this a joke? He's way out of my league'.
Sephiroth got behind the creature without it even knowing. He twirled around once a swung the Masamune in his back causing serious pain. The creature was already limping after one stroke.
"Your out of your league," said Sephiroth cooly. "Turn back now and I promise I won't kill you."
Reno was cheering loudly know, jumping up and down on the rock. However, it seemed like the creature wasn't giving up yet. He put his right arm against his mouth and began to roar. Then he ran a couple of feet , dug his spear into the ground, and used it for a launch. The creature was flying for Sephiroth at incredible speeds, for the creature any way.
Sephiroth found this amusing, but boring now. He decided to end this now. He ran behind him before he landed and prepared for an attack. Sephiroth decided to use an Enemy Skill technique. The yellow Materia was glowing in his armlet on his left arm shining a bright yellow. The landed on the ground, Sephiroth pointed his arm at him.
"I cast ," said Sephiroth. A large dumbbell appeared above the creature and slammed on top of him. Knocking him out cold.
Reno was now up from the rock and started jumping up and down cheering Sephiroth. Rude just stood there. The two Turks and Sephiroth started walking again to the beach. Sephiroth turn to look at the defeated creature, he couldn't help but wonder, what was his reason for attacking him?
"That was amazing Sephiroth," said Reno excitedly. "I could've token him out quicker, but still, great job. What was that attack you used to finish him off?"
"First: I could've finished off in a second if I wanted to," said Sephiroth as Reno gave a ruff sound. "Second: the attack was called ?. It does damage equal to the difference of your current health and maximum health."
After that they just kept walking towards the beach, and within a few minutes they were there. Reno was indeed right, there would be a lot of work to be done. There was a large amount of cargo in wooden boxes on the furthest right side of the beach. Sephiroth also noticed Vexen giving commands to people who were loading up cargo and Axel who was talking to two other Turks, both female blonds.
Reno instructed Sephiroth to just help them by carrying the boxes in the boat. The boat itself wasn't that impressive. A normal sturdy boat with a sail, deck, and a bridge. Sephiroth was able to carry 3 boxes at a time with his large amount of strength. Because of this the boat loading would take much less time. In a half an hour they finished.
Reno through a bag to Sephiroth who caught it in his left arm. "It's breakfast," said Reno turning to eat his own.
Sephiroth opened the bag to see three biscuits, an orange, and milk. Yeah. Sephiroth took all three biscuits in his mouth and ate it in one swallow. He ate the orange slowly, and drank the milk quickly.
Afterwards Sephiroth began to walk towards Reno who was talking to Vexen. The closer Sephiroth got to Reno the more clearly he understood what they were talking about. Business, boring.
"Hey Reno," said Sephiroth making Reno and Vexen turn to him. "Who are those two blondes over there?"
"The one with blonde hair that curves over to her right side is Elena," said Reno pointing to her. "The other blonde with slick like hair is Lexus. The cutest girl in the Turks."
Sephiroth didn't think they were that powerful. There Aura was less than the others. Sephiroth had to ask.
"Reno, are you the strongest Turk?" asked Sephiroth.
"Me? No ,no, no, no, no,"said Reno shaking his head. "I'm the fifth strongest. That's why my number on my Turk license is five, I'm the fifth strongest. The top four always stay with the President of the Shinra company. Whether it be travel, assassination, or bathroom. The exception to this is when someone threatens the Shinra company, strong enough to handle the lower Turks, and needs to be killed by the higher Turks."
"And what are the names of the higher Turks? In rank please."
"Let's see," said Reno rubbing the top of his head with his right hand pondering the question. "The lower Turks rarely see them. Number 4 is Lexaeus he uses a huge tomahawk as a weapon. Number 3 is Zexion, he has the ability to look into someone's mind and copy someone who you've seen before appearance, and act just like them. Number two is Tseng, we see him the most. He just fights physically. As for the top dog, his name is Marluxia. Can't say what his weapon is, never seen him fight."
Sephiroth didn't like this Zexion guy. The way Reno described him, he would be the perfect spy. He remembered Tseng, too easy to kill. Lexaeus didn't that powerful. Marluxia, no idea, but who would name their kid Marluxia.
The sun was now fully up and well in the noon period of the day. Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz came to the docks after a few hours that Sephiroth arrived. The four silver haired men tried to have fun with the Turks before they left for Kilika. Unfortunately, only three out of four did a good job.
Yazoo was talking to Lexus and seemed to go pretty well. They were mainly discussing about business. Lexus being a Turk and Yazoo being a mercenary, kind of. Kadaj and Axel were talking and laughing about something loudly. Sephiroth interpreted it as jokes about their comrades.
Sephiroth was talking to Reno and Rude, though Rude was silent through most of the conversation. Sephiroth had apparently become good buddies with Reno and didn't even know it. Reno kept on talking about unimportant things and kept asking Sephiroth strange questions. Like, who does he like/No one/, who is your best friend/Kadaj, and would he reconsider joining the Turks /NO/.
Loz was the one that had a bad time. He was trying to put the moves on Elena and got a grenade thrown at him which hit him dead on. The three silver men and the five Turks were busting a gut.
Later that day Summoner Yuna, her three guardians, and Tidus walked in on the beach. Reno signaled the other Turks to get aboard, and they did. Sephiroth and the other three men followed suit and got on board. After Yuna got on board they started departing, but not without an emotional goodbye. A little boy was crying while waving at Yuna, Sephiroth couldn't figure out why.
The boat ride was quite calm. Sephiroth was on the left side of the boat resting his arms of the rail of the boat. The large calm blue sea was beautiful for miles away. The sun was out and brought a nice shade of color on the boat. The cool gentle air brushing against Sephiroth's face making his two long silver haired bangs move with the wind. It was perfect.
After a short while Sephiroth decided to go down stairs. On the way down he saw Tidus go past him. The cabin hallway was kinda of short, but that was okay. Sephiroth only saw one man there, who was walking towards him. Sephiroth thought he looked like someone who worked in a hotel by the way he dressed.
The man approached him and said, "Bizarre clothes you have their lad," said the man examining him. "Don't look like you have much money on ya. Out of my way, I have no business with ye."
As the man started walking past Sephiroth, he was stopped by Sephiroth's comment. "With the way your dressed, and the way you speak, you aren't getting any business eh clown."
The man turned around and said in a dark tone, "I'm Oakka the XXIII."
"? Okay...you do birthdays?" replied Sephiroth.
"Don't know me...well not many do, not yet,"said the man putting his head down facing the ground. "You know, if you help me, I'll apologize for my behavior, and give you great discounts on my items."
Sephiroth thought it would be a waste of time. But...if this would rack up a few good points for the council, he would do it. "Here," said Sephiroth throwing him a bag of 10,000 gil.
"Excellent, I'm on my way to the top," said Oakka. He thanked Sephiroth and ran back to the end of the cabin where the two crusaders he met earlier, and four Turks.
Sephiroth returned outside on the back of the boat to see Loz and Yazoo talking to Reno and Rude. By the looks of it, they were going to start a fight. Kadaj was no where to be found as far as Sephiroth saw. Sephiroth pondered where Kadaj could be, but then decided to shrug it off and talk to the other two.
Yazoo and Loz saw Sephiroth walking there way and looked relieved. When Sephiroth got there Yazoo asked him one question instantly. "Hey, can we fight these two?"
Sephiroth was shocked, these two didn't have there JENOVA powers and they wanted to fight two people who kept up with them when they had their powers. Sephiroth nodded, knowing that it would inevitable.
Sephiroth stepped to the right side of the dock to stay out their way, the surrounding people did the same. Sephiroth noticed that in the left corner of his left eye, Kadaj was standing on top of the bridge of the boat. Sephiroth shrugged that off and watched Yazoo and Loz fight Reno and Rude.
"Well let's get this party started," said Reno drawing his electro-rod in his right hand. Rude put his gloves on. Loz got his stun gun ready, Yazoo apparently planned to fight with his gunblade like he did before.
Loz started it all, he quickly ran to Rude who charged at him simultaneously. When they were a foot away from each other, Loz tried to throw him a electro punch with his left hand. Rude pushed away with his left hand, turned around to his right, elbowed Loz with his right, uppercut him with his left, and gave him a hard punch in the stomach with his right sending him a good twenty feet away from him.
Yazoo jumped high in the air, as well as Reno. He tried to cut Reno down horizontally with his gunblade but Reno parried it by throwing his electro-rod to his left hand. Reno took the chance that Yazoo was unguarded. He turned around to his right in midair, threw his weapon back to his right hand, and hit Yazoo square in the chest sending plummeting to the ground hard.
When Reno returned to the ground safely, he gave Rude who was standing behind him, a thumbs up with his right hand, his weapon being his left. Though the victory dance seem to be short. Loz got back up and charged Reno with his stun gun up.
Loz tried to hit Reno with his gun, but didn't succeed. Reno ducked by throwing his body backwards. Loz's right side was wide open, and Reno took the opportunity. He took his electo-rod weapon and flung it hard against Loz's face causing him to go back another twenty feet again, only this time hitting Yazoo who was getting back up.
"You guys are okay, but work a little harder," said Reno.
Yazoo and Loz were furious now, and pulled both their gublades out and shot a bullet, each at Reno and Rude. Reno and Rude were well ready for this, but there was no need. Sephiroth stepped in between them, drew his Masamune, and blocked the shots.
Yazoo and Loz were surprised by this, but didn't protest. Sephiroth turned to the Turks and gave them a dark stare.
"Why did you guys decide to fight Reno?" asked Sephiroth staring directly into Reno's eyes.
"Well...they said they could beat us so...we asked them to fight, and they accepted it,"said Reno turning his head to Yazoo and Loz's position.
Sephiroth sheathed his sword and got into a fist fighting position. "I'll fight ya. With no weapons at my disposal. Or Aeons."
Reno and Rude looked at each other, but they nodded their heads in unison in agreement. Reno charged Sephiroth, but when this fight started, it was all ready over. Sephiroth got behind Reno and shouted "SHADOW FLARE".
A huge amount of energy exploded on Reno causing him to keel over. Rude was right behind Sephiroth and threw a quick right punch at him. To slow. Sephiroth turned and went around Rude by going right, almost the second that the punch was going to make contact with him Sephiroth shouted "GOBLIN PUNCH" as the yellow Enemy Skill Materia on his left arm glowed a bright gold. Sephiroth began wailing on Rude from behind. Left punch to the middle, right punch to his lower right side, left at the left shoulder blade, right at the upper back, and so on. The speed at which Sephiroth was doing it was incredible, even Kadaj had a little trouble keeping up.
Rude fell over on Reno exhausted. Sephiroth calmly walked over to the fallen duo who were failing to try to get up. Sephiroth was over them now, Enemy Skill Materia glowing in his left hand, Reno and Rude stopped struggling and looked up at him. Sephiroth pointed to Reno and Rude with his left arm, but never got to cast the '?' spell he wanted to.
The ship all of a sudden turned violently, making Sephiroth lose his position. The boat came to a huge left turn causing everyone to go to that direction. Rude slid over to the left side of the boat, Reno right behind him. Rude hit the rail of the boat hard with his back, Reno practically head butted him from behind.
Loz and Yazoo were apparently able to grab a hold of one of the pillars on the boat. Before Sephiroth could suffer the same punishment as Rude and Reno, he quickly drew Masamune, and plunged it into the ship, causing him to stop in place.
Sephiroth heard a man cry the word "Sin". Immediately Sephiroth turned his attention to the large waves emitting from the left side of boat to see a enormous creature. At least 300 feet in diameter, large thick skin, and from what Sephiroth could pick up, a familiar scent.
Sephiroth turned his attention Kadaj who had jumped down from his position on top of the bridge to help Reno and Rude. As Kadaj helped Reno and Rude up the ship gave another jolt, this time forward which caused Rude to fall down on his face, Reno falling on top of him. After that the ship was gaining back it's momentum.
As Loz Yazoo, and the Turks were gaining back there footing, a women screamed. "SINS CREATURES". Sephiroth ran past the others Masamune in hand, went to the other side of the boat, and saw Tidus, Yuna, Lulu, Kimahari, and Wakka facing against 3 miniature versions of Sin, and a part of Sin itself.
Tidus ran and sliced one of the winged beast on the dock and killed it, sending pyreflies everywhere. Lulu went and cast a thunder spell at the second, killing it in a repeat performance from Tidus. Wakka did the third as he threw a ball at the creature and killed it.
The victory seemed won until three new ones came from SIN and land in front of them. They started battling them again, only with a slight change in combat. Yuna, Tidus, and Kimahari were fighting the three creatures while Wakka and Lulu hit SIN. The boat gave a sharp turn making the SIN piece appear on the right side of the boat.
Sephiroth didn't hesitate for a second, he knew what he had to do to end this. He started running for a cannon which had a fired harpoon attached to SIN. The five warriors eyed him as he passed by, but that didn't stop Sephiroth. He ran, jumped on the rope attached to Sin, and began running up to it as if the little walking space was nothing.
When he was about 50 feet away from Sin he jumped to it. And slashed down hard on it, but didn't stop. Sephiroth appeared to be doing an aerial dance as he flung his sword in a different direction every half a second. He finished by landing on the rope, the tip of his shoes on the rope, jumped about 50 feet above Sin, raised his Masamune above his head, and slashed down hard shouting the word "BRAVER" as he went down.
Sephiroth did a huge jump backwards and landed on the top of the bridge with grace. Sephiroth then paid attention to the results of his strike. The rope was cut, but Sephiroth saw what he was looking for, there was an enormous scar going down on Sin's body part. After that Sin sunk in the water were he then continued as the boat did.
Sephiroth leaped down to where Yuna was while sheathing his Masamune back into place. Yazoo and Loz came back from the end of the boat and rejoined Sephiroth and the others. Sephiroth had a bad feeling when he saw everyone, and he wasn't the only one. Yuna noticed it to. Someone was missing, and they were Tidus and Kadaj.
Without hesitation, Wakka immediately ran to the side of the boat, jumped, and dived in the water. Sephiroth thought he should go with hi, but no. 'Kadaj has to learn these things for himself.'
Tidus and Kadaj were underwater, unconscious, and being attacked constantly by Parana.
Wakka ahead of time, threw his blitzball at the parana's and killed them. When Wakka got to Tidus and Kadaj he threw each of them a potion which instantly revived them.
Tidus and Kadaj began swimming on their own while looking at each other. However, they weren't going up safely. One of Sin's creations was left behind to finish them off. A large sea creature with disc like head, four long tentacles, and large wide red eye in the middle. The creature was accompanied by four small pieces of Sin, the same that attacked the boat.
Tidus, Wakka, and Kadaj pulled their weapons out and began to fight the Sin Spawn. Immediately the creature turned on it's back and used it's four tentacles as a propeller which shot a huge whirlpool at them. Tidus and Wakka appeared to take a huge amount of damage after the attack faded. Kadaj used his sword to block most of the attack.
Tidus charged ahead and cut the creature which seemed to do decent damage. Kadaj went behind the creature and struck it hard, which seemed to do just a little better than Tidus' blow. Wakka did an attack than seemed to blind the creature, Kadaj and Tidus took this opportunity.
Tidus and Kadaj ignored the attacks coming from the weaklings and kept pummeling the creature, which was blindly trying to hit them. Wakka kept healing them with potions while they kept on attacking the Sin Spawn. Though, when the creature regained it's sight Tidus and Kadaj were sorry.
They creature did another whirlpool when Tidus and Kadaj were approaching it. They couldn't block it and got pummeled hard sending them far. Wakka tried to pick up were Tidus and Kadaj left off but failed horribly. After they got back their momentum they decided to attack again, though this time Kadaj had a plan.
Kadaj told Tidus to go ahead by gesturing him with his free right hand. Tidus did so, while Kadaj used his new acquired Thunder Materia and shot a blast of it on Tidus' blade and Wakka's Blitzball. This caused them to have a thunder element on their weapons which Kadaj hoped that this creature was weak against.
Kadaj was right, Tidus and Wakka were doing an amazing job now that their weapons had Thunder element on it. Kadaj joined them after casting a thunder spell on his own weapon, and now the three were having a free for all. Tidus came from under the beast and struck it hard continuing to go up, Kadaj came right after from behind and did a three cut combo quickly, Wakka from above kept throwing the ball off the creature every two seconds.
In less than a minute, the creature was twitching, they had won the battle. Soon the Sin Spawn turned into pyreflies and died. Wakka, Tidus, and Kadaj began swimming upwards where they could the bottom of the boat.
After Kadaj and the others returned from the sea they continued on to Kilika, their next destination.
