Sephiroth is perplexed the first time he comes across the projections of data. At first there's only one; but, triggered by some source he can't name, there are eventually more. Sometimes he goes to spar against them, and they're always there to come back and fight again.

Then the woman shows up.

She's the only one who's ever given him a run for his money in ruthlessness.

He can't help but wonder what the thunder woman was like before fading into the background, memory preserved only by the projection of data in the cavern.


A/N: oh my god there was a typo on Sephiroth's name for the longest time and i didn't even notice. i am ashamed. apologies for faking out people who have this collection on their alert list, sob.
