"You're awake!" Geor says. Having had excess baggage from their guest, he and Elo "borrowed" a truck from the WRO. Elo was driving and Geor was in back keeping an eye on Vincent.
" So, what's your name?" Geor asks
Vincent keeps silent.
" Not much of a talker, Huh?"
Still silent.
" O.K., I'm done being nice, you are on your way to the promise land. I seams you have something to do with Chaos, the original guardian of the promise land."
" What?"
" Hundreds of thousands of years ago, my chief Takan created a minion, Chaos. About six hundred years ago, he went missing, stolen from under are grasps. Fearing another mistake Takan decided not to make another but to enslave himself and six others in to an eternity of servitude. There job, to protect the promise land. Never to join with the life stream. But the immortality wore of and while are aging slowed, we began to die. Now I'm six hundred, but I have hundreds of years before I die. I don't want to wait the long. By returning you to our chief. We free ourselves. My friend gets to return to his wife and child. I mine."
" And what happens to me?"
" You die as well, we have to extract Chaos from you, you will then join the Life Stream."
Vincent fell silent.
" It's not so bad" he continues but Vincent hears none of it, lost deep in thought.
Sephiroth has arrived at the promise land, he still has the normal sword, having been unable to find the originals body. He journeys over the field, less concerned about being noticed than Rufus was.
He sees the spire, at the base of it the Three Cetras Question Rufus and Tseng. Takan turns and sees him. Panicking he orders Renga and Fenga to go fight him.
Renga and Fenga are almost identical, only three years apart, the only way to tell the difference is that Renga has more of a ripped build and is a couple of inches taller. Fenga is skinnier and shorter. The are both clad in the brown robes. They both draw their weapons and strike at Sephiroth.
Sephiroth was waiting for this, he parries their attack easily and takes his sword to stomach of Fenga, causing him to drop his katana. Sephiroth scoops it up and immediately begins attacking Renga. The twin blades hit twice but on the third Sephiroth breaks Renga's guard. Piercing into his arm. Renga tosses his sword to Fenga. Who had returned to his feat. Fenga leaps at Sephiroth, but Sephiroth catches him by surprise with a fire 3. Sending him flying, landing twenty feet away. He turns back to Renga and uses death killing him instantly. Fenga sees this staring in horror at his fallen brother. He stands and rushes Sephiroth with fury. Fury was a mistake, Sephiroth easily sidesteps and buries the blade deep into Fenga's back. Sephiroth twist the blade and pulls it out. Fenga falls to the ground, Dead.
Cloud and the others reach the gateway to the promise land. Going through they find themselves. In a beautiful field. Flowers as far as the eye can see. They continue on passing the corpses of Renga and Fenga they see the spire. Twenty feet to the right, Rufus and Tseng are tied up, ten feet to the left, Takan lays unconscious. And there, standing before the spire stands Sephiroth looking into the Life Stream.
