Chapter 3- The Battle he was Destined to Lose

"What the hell do you want?" Jeff asked Sephiroth through gritted teeth.

Sephiroth smiled and replied, "You still don't understand. It's not about me, it's about you." Jeff growled, tired of his bull shit, and then charged at Sephiroth. Sephiroth's smile grew, and he charged toward Jeff. The two met in the middle, swords swinging wildly. Every hit was blocked or parried, and neither could score a hit on the other. Jeff swung horizontally; Sephiroth blocked it vertically and countered with a vertical swing. Jeff quickly side stepped it, but Sephiroth followed it up by ramming the butt of his sword into Jeff's gut. Jeff fell over, winded.

"Jeff, you were always destined to lose this battle," Sephiroth coldly stated. Sephiroth went to finish off Jeff, but someone grabbed his arms, holding him back. Jeff looked up and saw Hayden standing there, with a big hole in his chest, holding him back.

"Hayden, how, what, that doesn't make sense!" Jeff yelled.

"I ain't letting my friend be taken out by a white haired douche bag," Hayden replied through gritted teeth. Sephiroth threw a shoulder into Hayden's gut causing Hayden to stutter back.

Sephiroth looked at him and said, "I admire your perseverance, but you will not interfere." Raising one hand to the sky, Sephiroth summoned a golden dragon, the size of a building.

Hayden looked at it and remarked, "This will take me a while."

"Not if I help you!" A voice came from the side. Hayden looked over and saw Blair riding in on a bear wielding a silver hammer. The two gave each other nods of approvals, and ran off to fight the dragon.

Jeff got up, and asked, "Now where were we?" Sephiroth grinned and charged at Jeff. Meanwhile the dragon was destroying nearby buildings, causing mass havoc. When they were close, Blair's bear leapt up the dragon, with Blair still on it, grabbing the dragon by its foot. The dragon looked down at Blair and went to grab Blair, but a missile to the face stopped it. The dragon looked up at Hayden, who was reloading his rocket launcher. The dragon roared and fired a fire ball at Hayden.

Hayden had no time to react, so he screamed, "OH SHIT!"

But in the nick of time a force field came up in front him, blocking the fire ball. Hayden, confused, looked all around him, and saw Alex casting another spell. Hayden breathed a sigh of relief, and got another shot ready. Blair and his bear continued his ascent up the dragon, Blair struck a hit whenever he could, causing the dragon considerable agony.

Suddenly Blair heard someone say, "Hey Blair! Look at me! Look at me Blair!"

Blair looked over to his side and saw it was Jesse standing on a building yelling at him. Unfortunately, the dragon saw him too. The dragon grabbed Jesse with its claw and began to squeeze. It wasn't long until Jesse popped like a balloon, a wet squishy bloody balloon. Blair winced at the sight and continued up the dragon. Alex cast a spell of explosion, causing an explosion in front of the dragon, causing the dragon to fall backwards in midair. Doing this caused Blair to be flicked up over the dragon's body, and Alex cast a spell of strength on him making him ten times stronger. At the same time Hayden fired his second missile at the dragons face. Blair hit the dragon right between the eyes with his hammer as he flew over it, at the same spot Hayden's missile hit at the same time. The force of all the impacts caused the dragons head to explode. And the team had beaten the dragon.

"Wow, that was cool," remarked Victor.

Jeff and Sephiroth's epic battle continued the two unable to score hits. Sephiroth lunged at Jeff; Jeff spun off to the side, and managed a punch to Sephiroth's face. Sephiroth stuttered back a little, and Jeff went to strike another blow with his sword, but Sephiroth sprouted his one wing and flew up into the air.

"Cheater," Jeff muttered. Sephiroth dove down at Jeff, Jeff was able to block it, but the force of the impact caused Jeff to stutter back a few steps. Jeff grunted, and spun to face Sephiroth, who had a wicked smile on his face. Sephiroth dove down at him again, and Jeff was able to block it again, but it sent him flying back several feet.

Jeff struggled to get back up, and Sephiroth asked, "Are you ready to die?"

Jeff now knew what he had to do. Jeff looked at his sword, and then back up at Sephiroth. Jeff then embraced all his demonic powers, becoming a demon himself. Bat-like wings sprouted from his back, horns grew from his forehead, his teeth turned into fangs, his hands became claws, and he started to glow blue.

"So you have finally become what you have hunted all these years," Sephiroth remarked.

Jeff looked at him, and replied, "If it's what I have to do to beat you, then it's worth it."

Jeff flew up at Sephiroth, and the two engaged in a vicious air duel. Every hit sent the two flying back, and they would dive right back at each other. Jeff dove at Sephiroth, but at the last second spun and scored a hit on Sephiroth's arm. Sephiroth was sent spinning from the impact, but Sephiroth quickly got his balance back. He fired an energy blast at Jeff; Jeff managed to block it, but gave Sephiroth the opportunity to get behind him, which he took. Jeff only had enough time to turn around, before Sephiroth impaled him.

All the events of the night went through Jeff's head as he lost his strength, from the ninja rapist Ray trying to kill him, to fighting off zombies and Albert Wesker, to this. With the last of his resolve, Jeff managed to turn around, forcing Sephiroth to go beneath him, and dove down toward the ground. The two hit the ground with incredible force, enough to go straight through and deeper into the ground. The sound and force of the impact got the four's attention who had just killed the dragon.

They ran to the sight of the impact, and Alex remarked, "What is Jeff doing?"

Hayden sighed and said, "What he has to do to defeat Sephiroth."

The two continued to go deeper and deeper in the ground, and despite the noise and the pain both felt, Jeff managed to say, "You're right Sephiroth, I am destined to lose this battle, but so are you," and Sephiroth heard him loud and clear over all the noise. They continued deeper and deeper, until they had reached the core, at which point the heat was so intense, the both got vaporized. Right before they got vaporized, Jeff smiled for the first time that night. It all happened in one night.
