"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!" The man snarled as he tried to kill a group of people. The red clad swordsman was shocked, most likely because of the power.

"Hey! Wake up! Don't let him control you! First Mithos and now him!"

But he was cut short when he quickly jumped back when the man treid to claw him.

"YOU WILL NEVER HAVE HIM BACK! THIS IS MY BODY NOW!" But he stopped, noticing the fear in their eyes.

"So I was right...how about this.." The man pointed a clawed finger towards them.

"I will meet you in one of the two worlds you all live in...but...you must bring everyone who you are sided on with you. Most importantly, that woman. She will be horrifed to see me."

"Please let him go!" said a girl with blonde hair. The man just laughed.

"You actually care about this pathetic lowly man?"

They all nodded for some reason. The man smirked evilly.

"But it seems that you will never regain him. He is now behind a barrier that can't be broken."

"What do you want you fowl demon!" yelled the red clad swordsman.

"I'll take that as a compliment, but.."

The man took his hand, and waved it. He moved it upwards, and then they all noticed.

"LET HIM GO!"

The man was choking the swordsman, who was holding his throat.

"Hmph fine.."

He dropped his hand, the swordsman landing the ground, gasping for air.

"Meet me by the Ruins of the Tower of Salvation."

The man snapped his fingers, disappearing.

Hiro moaned as he saw the dream for the fifth time, replaying in his head.

"Good job, this is a possible outcome in the future." said the cloaked man, patting the other.

"It was fun....seeing his soul rip and tear in pain..."

"Alright Hiro, this is the second training, for Earth's Roar." Kaza put his sword into the cool metal of the ship's floor. "Now, you must focus alot of energy into your blade..." Kaza held out his right hand, and focused his energy into it, and it turned green. "Now, you pick it up. "Now, the blade's connection to ground makes energy go into the ground, so you also absorb the power of the Earth, so then you strike." Kaza said smiling. Hiro smiled and put his thumb up.

"I'll start practicing right away!"

Kaza smiled as he watched Hiro practice, his eyes closed, and he sighed mentally to himself, satisfied.

He's so much like you.

"So, how do I look?" asked Yuffie, looking in the mirror. She was wearing her white wedding dress, while Tifa sat there, bored.

"Nice Yuffie..." said Tifa, not really caring.

Yuffie has been wondering why everyone was either mad or sad. They have been acting like this for weeks. "Come on Tif! What is wrong?" asked Yuffie in her usual happy voice.

"No nothing, you might as well get another wedding dress..Mimi just accidently got juice on it." Tifa said, poniting at the dress she was wearing.

"Yea, I'll be back!" said Yuffie running out the door.

Tifa sighed as she walked behind the counter, but she noticed a picture on the far side of the counter. She picked it up to see Arxen, Cloud, and Hiro standing there, where they were visting Costa De Sol after the Meteor incident. Cloud was looking the same as always. Arxen and Hiro were smiling, Hiro with his thumbs up. Tifa felt a tear fall down her face.

"Hiro..."

"Tifa." said a cool voice. Tifa turned to see Cloud and Arxen. Arxen, his blue hair wild, smirked. "Whats up Tifa?" Tifa could see right through him though, he was suffering without his best friend. Arxen has been acting happy, but everyone, except for the oblivious Yuffie, could tell deep down, he was really depressed.

"Was it right you guys..."

"What?"

"That we hid everything from him..and we are sticking up for Katzuna and his snot nose son.." said Tifa, head down. She actually felt sad. "Tifa, we had to." said Cloud coolly. Arxen just sighed.

"I'll let you two handle this.." Arxen made his way to the farside of the bar.

"Why do we have to?" Tifa asked, looking at Cloud, her hands on her chest.

"We are doing it for..." Cloud began, but was cut off by the upset Tifa.

"For what Cloud? What the hell are we doing this for?! How could we betray Hiro Aoyama, the boy who saved our lives? How?"

Cloud couldn't answer. The pain stung his heart. His old friend has left them.

"It was for Aeris and Zack...Katzuna said he would bring them back..all we have to do is act and capture Hiro. You saw how he acted, he has changed. He doesn't care for our well beings...all he cares for is himself."

Tifa took a step back, glaring at Cloud. "That was because we lied to him, we did not tell him about Yuffie and how she has moved on. People can't return from the dead Cloud, we saw Aeris die, you saw Zack die, we need to accept they're gone...the dead can't come back-"

"Hiro did didn't he?!?!? We all sat there, and watched him die, he was fucking stabbed by Sephiroth, and he came back!"

The fighting was getting intense. Luckily the kids were out with Barret and Red.

"Yes, but, maybe the Lifestream spit him out, but maybe for a cause! Maybe Hiro didn't actually die! He could of just disappeared!" screamed Tifa.

"Listen Tifa, you don't understand! Arxen and I watched him die, he was dead. There is no way he fucking survived that! You don't understand what we can have now! We can have Aeris and Zack back, all we have to do this charade longer, and eventually-"

"Eventually what?!? Hiro will forgive us? There is no way in hell he'd ever forgive us for this! It's unforgivable, and I'm at the point where I refused to be apart of it any longer!"

"Then do it, just drop out, turn your hand against me. Do it!"

But those words came back and hit him in the face, literally.

Tifa took her hand and smacked Cloud against the face. A red hand mark made by leather stung his face. Tifa started to cry, and she ran upstairs. Cloud was still standing there, his hand on the cheek.

Upstairs, Tifa ran into her room crying, while across the hall, Yuffie sat down on her bed, contemplating. She heard some of the things going on downstairs. She has wronged Hiro, but she moved on. She couldn't go back now, Damen was her new path, while Hiro was the old. She sighed as she put her head in her hands, and she thought. What could she do to fix it?

Downstairs, Arxen looked at Cloud, and shook his head in disgust.

"Smooth one Cloud, and you say you love her?"

"Shut the fuck up Arxen."

Arxen sighed as he saw Cloud walk out of the bar, slamming the door behind him.

Hiro where are you? I know what we did was wrong...but...please forgive me.

He took a drink of his water, then heard the door open.

"Hey Arx!" said a voice.

"Don't talk to me." Arxen growled.

"Geez, what is your problem Arx?"

"Don't talk to me and don't call me that! Only one person can call me that Yuffie! And that is my best friend!" Arxen growled standing up, looking into the eyes of the ninja, who was taken back.

"Yuffie, why did you deceive Hiro. You knew that he would come back and you just threw him away like he was a old toy! He always keeps his promises! But no, you had to be selfish and go after another!" Arxen yelled at her. Despite how obvious the circumstances were against him, but he believed she should of waited.

Yuffie looked down, her gaze away from Arxen. "Arxen..it was just a-"

"CUT THE SHIT! You were in love with him, REALLY in love with him. Hiro loved you, and you broke his heart!" Arxen said, looking away from her. "I can't even look at you anymore, you disgust me."

"Arxen..please..."

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. Good day." Arxen said walking out of the bar, but not before slamming the door.

Yuffie stood there, thinking of what to do. She remebered everything, her relationship with the boy, and finally, how she ended up falling for him near the end of their journey. She then just remenbered who she had her first kiss with Hiro. She remebered it now as clear as day. It was back when he was a kid. She thought of all the good times and bad times that she shared with him, and remebered the day he died.

She had tears flowing on her face, silent ones of course. Could she make it all up? But she was getting married..she didn't know what to do.

"So, how did you do Hiro?" asked Ara. They all were in a living quarters on the ship, a big room. Hiro was on the Recliner, while Kadai and Ara on the couch. Kadaj was on another Recliner, and Yazoo and Loz on another couch.

"Fine really, nothing much happen today, I learned a new technique and that's it."

"From what I heard that they were both powerful." said Loz, who was snacking on a sandwich.

Hiro smiled. "Yea I guess."

"Hiro, why are you here and not with Avalance?" asked Yazoo, who of course didn't know the whole story.

Hiro sat up, not angry or frustrated. "They turned against me, and helped that prick Damen." said Hiro, who was looking at Yazoo. There was a silence that appeared over them, mainly because Yazoo's big mouth, however, Kadai broke the silence.

"Hey, wheres Tiamatt?" asked Kadai.

"Asleep, exhausted from reading, training, and reading." said Hiro laughing. Kadaj, who was paying more attenion on Ara, was blushing.

"Hey Kadaj? What is wrong?" asked Ara, moving torwards him. Kadaj blushed even harder, and then turned competely red when she had her hands on his head.

"Kadaj your burning up! I think you should go to bed." said Ara smiling. Everyone started to laugh.

This isn't like Ara to be THAT naive.. thought Kadai as she laughed.

"Uhh..yea...I think I'll go to bed.." Kadaj said walking off.

"What is wrong with him?" asked Ara. Hiro just shook his head.

"You will find out soon enough." said Hiro laughing. Ara just tilted her head, wondering what was so funny.

A couple of hours pasted, and everyone had to go to bed. Hiro decided to stay up and wonder around the ship. The ship was massive, and he decided to get on the deck.

When he arrived, he saw nothing but stars, as far as the eye could see. The stars twinkled, making Hiro somehow feel good inside. He laid down on the deck, and decided just to look at the stars.

"Give into me....boy...just give into me. Give into your anger, your frustration...your rage......give into me..."


Hiro thought he heard a voice, but ignored it. He was now in his room, and he layed down in the bed, hoping that everything would just be fine.

Boy was he in for the ride of his life.
