Chapter 7 12 years later (Dirge of Cerberus)

Sephiroth flew into a cave that he'd never seen before. He'd sprouted two new beautiful wings. They were completely white, gold near the bottom and lavender at the tips. The cave was full of crystals, which he knew once used to be Mako. The biggest crystal had a woman trapped inside of it. He summoned his seven foot long Katana and was about the slash the crystal. When something came out of the wall and knocked him down. The invisible creature pinned him down on the floor. She revealed herself to be a woman like figure with long almost white hair, four gorgeous white angelic coming from her shoulders and her hips, turquoise skin and green eyes. She was also completely naked. Sephiroth got up onto his feet and dismissed his weapon to prove that he was no harm to her. The woman sniffed him as if she was getting to know him.

"Do you speak English?" Sephiroth asked slowly.

She looked at him blankly. Suddenly, she summoned a short sword and knocked Sephiroth to the ground.

"Who are you?" she asked. Her voice was feather like and soft, but at the same time threatening.

"I'm Sephiroth."

"The One-Winged Angel! You're a legend back on my home planet."

"Home planet, you mean that you're the same as Jenova?"
"If you mean an Calamities then yes, you could be the last male of our breed you know."

"You don't say." Sephiroth looked back at the woman inside the crystal, "Who are you then?"

"Me? My name translates to ... Sephora, I think."

"I'm not even sure if that's a name. What are you doing here Sephora?"

"Protecting the woman in this crystal, she saved my life."

"Really? Were you hurt?"

"Your sweet you are. I was injured after I came here. Snapped my left wing."

"That must have hurt."

She nodded, "Her and two men helped me out. The men went by the names Gast and Grimoire. You know them."

"Professor Gast was like a father to me, as for Grimoire, he sadly died before I was born or I was too young to have known who he was."

"After my wing was fixed, Gast let me go before other scientists could lay a hand on me and I've not really moved from this cave. What are you doing her Sephy?"

"Well, hiding really. The people of this world believe that I'm going to destroy this world again."

"And with that Supernova ability you have, they have a right to fear you."

Sephiroth nodded, "How about we get you out of here for a while?"

Sephora nodded and the two angelic being flew off.

Six years later ...

Sephiroth returned to the Crystal Cave and looked at the woman inside the crystal. He summoned his Katana and slashed the crystal prison. It begun to crack and when it completely shattered, the woman fell to her knees. She looked up at him and Sephiroth helped her back onto her feet.

Suddenly, the wall began to move and the woman hung onto the Ex-SOLDIER tightly. Sephora came out of the wall, she'd been in some sort of camouflage. Then four children did the same thing, they looked about six years old. The woman protected her children with her four majestic white wing spread out.

"I mean your children no harm ma'am." Lucrecia explained.

"Sephora, that's not very nice. I thought this woman saved your ass."

Sephora pulled back her wings and the children showed their faces.

"What are you anyway?" Lucrecia asked.

"Me? I am the same species as mother Jenova."

"A Cetra then?"

The children hid behind their mother at the sound of the word 'Cetra.'

"Hell no! We're Calamities. Mine and Sephy's breed are known as a Sky Calamity. You humans would call us Angels or Seraphim."

"And all these years I thought Jenova was a Cetra. So who are you?"

"My name's Sephora" The children were still gripping onto their mother's wings. "And these are Faith, Hope, Destiny and Justice."

All of the children resembled their parents. The girls had almost white hair with a silver tinting in it and they all had different features in their faces. The only boy, Justice looked more like his father; long silver hair and piercing green cat like eyes. They all had three wings, they were either missing the bottom left or right wing.

"Those are very interesting names. Why are they all missing a wing?"

"That comes from their father. Because they are all part human, Sephy only has the bottom two wings from the Lifestream, since he spent eight years in there. He was in cased in a Mako crystal for six of those years. In fact when I met him, he'd only just came out of the crystal and sprouted the two wings. He had the potential for them, but they just needed a helping hand." Sephora said.

Suddenly, Lucrecia fell to the floor. She felt light headed and dizzy. She was degrading, the consequence of having a half Calamity child.

"What's wrong with her daddy?" said Hope.

"She's a very sick woman darling?" Sephiroth bent down to his mum, "Mother, I know how to stop you from degrading."

"Really? How? Did Hojo find a miracle cure?"
"Hojo? No, Genesis was also degrading and he said that the only way to stop it was a pure S sample."

"Your cells? You'd do that for me?"

"Your a daft thing aren't you? Why wouldn't I?"

"I have a syringe in my pocket. I could take a sample, or did Genesis use a hair sample?" she was thinking out loud.

"I was dead by that point." Sephiroth replied.

The scientist pulled out the syringe and gently forced the needle under her son's skin to take a blood sample. She injected the blood into herself and then she rose back onto her feet.

"Thank you." she said hugging onto Sephiroth, "Now, is Vincent still alive?"

"Vincent? Yeah he's still breathing, somehow. He's been having his battle with that demon that you fused him with."

"I need to see him; do you know where he is?"
"No, but I know someone who might."

Suddenly, they were in Midgar. Sephiroth had teleport them to the capital city. They all stood behind an alleyway. Sephiroth morphed himself into a strange man, he used his power of illusion to hide the length of his hair and to change his eye colour. 'Guess Calamities can't hide their hair and eyes.' Lucrecia thought. He told Lucrecia and his children to stay with Sephora. He knocked on the door of a house on the left. A woman in a long black skirt invited him in.

"Cid, it's so nice to see you again. How's Shera?"

"She's fine. Tifa, how's Denzel?"

"He's eighteen now, gone to uni. God, has it really been seven years since the threat of that awful Deepground."

"Yeah, now Tifa, I need to know where Vincent is."
"Vincent? He's upstairs with Cloud and the twins."
Tifa called for the two men, while Sephiroth was in shock.

"Those twins can't be Cloud's."

"Well they are. They're five now and called Cassandra and Cornelius."
"What's the matter Cid?" said Cloud coming downstairs with Vincent behind him.

"Hey you two, it's bin a while." Sephiroth morphed back into his original shape, he also got rid of the illusion.

"Sephiroth!" said Cloud, "Why can't you just stay dead?"
"Now that was cold, I'm only here to speak with Vincent."

"What is it?" asked Vincent.

"I was taking my four children out for their first lesson of flying, and yes I have children. And I stumbled along a cave full of Mako crystal, sound familiar?"
"Lucrecia!?" Vincent cried, "What have you with her?"
"Sephora!" Sephiroth shouted.

The Calamity mother walked through the wall. She hung onto Lucrecia, so she would pass though the wall as well. The children soon followed after them. Vincent melted when he saw her.

Lucrecia fell into Vincent's arms when she walked up to him. They both looked into each others eyes and Lucrecia hugged onto her lover. A warm feeling hit the room as Vincent embraced his love to Sephiroth's mother with a kiss. Hope hugged onto Vincent and he put his hand on her head.

"Hi granddad." she said.

"Granddad!" Cloud said, "Vince, what have you been hiding?"

"That Sephiroth is my son, but how did the kids know?"

"I told them." he said picking up Justice.

Faith ran up behind Tifa to hide for Destiny and Tifa picked up the child by her feet.

"And how do you know?" Tifa asked.

"I had a feeling in that battle when I was in my Safer form." he said.

"We best be off." said Sephora.

"Don't go." Tifa cried, "Stay here, please I love your kids."

"(Tifa.)" Cloud scolded her under his breath.

"Can we stay here father?" asked Destiny.

"No your not." said Cloud.

The girls pulled a sad face towards Cloud's direction. He turned his head and left the room.

"I guess that's a no." said Tifa.

"You can't do this to a pregnant calamity." Sephora shouted.

"What!?" Cloud said rushing back into the room.

"I would need some place to stay. You wouldn't throw me would." she said.

"Ok, fine, but keep a low profile." he left the room again.

"Your not really? Are you?" Sephiroth asked.

Sephora shook her head and kissed her lover.

"You lied to Cloud." said Vincent.

"And, Tifa wanted us to stay."
"I think everyone has been too hard on Sephiroth. I mean, everyone wants him to stay dead. But he has a family now, and he just want the best for them."
Sephiroth agreed with Tifa's remark, "And who could say no to these cute things." she said.
