Disclaimer: The characters in this story do not belong to me. They belong
to Squaresoft. The story, on the other hand, is mine. It was created from
my twisted mind. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.
A/N: This is the first fan fiction story I wrote. It's old. Possibly almost 6 years old. At least, all chapters to chapter nine are that old. If I get some good reviews then I will finish the story. If I don't get any good reviews, then I will cry myself to sleep..or maybe just finish the story anyway, but not so urgently. Thanks for reading. Please review.

Chapter Seven
"What's going on?" Cloud yelled. "Do you remember me?" The voice said, it's clarity slowly diminishing, "I don't think so..." Cloud replied squinting his eyes to find the figure of a man standing directly in front of him. "You seem to recognize me." "Zack..?" Cloud said, not to sure of himself. "No." The voice said seeming to get closer every word that was spoken. "You cannot say you have already forgotten me. It has been but five years..." "No....No...NO!!!!" And Cloud fell to the ground, clutching his ears. "Tifa, Nibelheim, I want it all back!" He looked up to see the dead figure of Sephiroth encased within the Earth. "Memories of the past. Hopes for the future. Everything, torn away from my heart. I didn't think that Tifa had made it. So I ran at Sephiroth..." He felt a sharp pain in his right side. "I always looked up to you. Always wishing that I could be you. I saw my village burning, I wanted to only ask why. But when I saw Tifa, then the words that Zack said... "STOP THIS..PLEASE!" Cloud yelled angrily. The words ran through his head that Vincent said during his slumber in the Lifestream, "Too much hope is the opposite of despair. An over-powering love may consume you in the end..." And for all that Cloud knew, this was the end. Nothing but uncertainty could prevail from such a thing. "You know not what you did...but that it was wrong." "I did nothing wrong! I killed you for the good of the planet!" Cloud said, beginning to feel a bit of adrenaline pumping in his body. "Why did you think that you could destroy the world?" Cloud began to sweat. "I would have thought that you already knew... "You had no right to take the lives of those people. They had children, they had friends, they had all of that, and you just came and decided that you would kill." "You must do such things to find the Promised Land. "I don't get it...how are you here?" Cloud shrugged. "You defeated me sub-consciously. You must now defeat me consciously...so, come on. Show me what hatred you have held up all these five years!" And Sephiroth dove at him.
