"When Fate Intervenes"

Filler: Cloud's Fate

Author's Note: Hey guys! It came to my attention that a reviewer would like to know what happened to Cloud. So here it is.

The days blurred by Cloud as he wandered from place to place, he knew his friends were going after Deepground and that they needed him, but he just couldn't be that hero anymore. Genesis took his place in more ways than one. He bit back a growl, he got involved with Isis, but it was short lived. She dumped him when she found out he was leaving his friends hanging. He understood why Tifa's heart finally quit going out to him when he clearly brushed it off like it was worthless. It didn't stop the pain though. Then Zack was brought back! Not by him praying everyday, but because Genesis asked the Goddess to so he could assist in the fight and she did it! How many times had he prayed for Zack and Aerith to return? He couldn't remember anymore.

Hell, he couldn't even remember what continent he was on. Maybe he was near Mideel, the wildlife resembled theirs on that tiny island. Then a few days after he left, he receives a text from Yuffie saying Genesis proposed to Tifa. They were going to get married soon and Cloud's heart sank into his stomach. The pain was so intense he couldn't breathe, couldn't cry, and he was quite sure he didn't eat or sleep for awhile. He received several texts saying Sephiroth returned but was normal once again, Tifa was expecting, and the wedding was in March after the baby was born. Oh and they defeated Deepground without him. He didn't go to see his childhood friend's and Genesis's son when he was born, and he didn't go to the wedding. Isis tried to talk to him a couple of times but he pushed the ignore button. He just continued to wander, wasting away until the Planet would just end his life. Aerith had tried to help, but he had even become bitter towards her and eventually she stopped coming.

He looked up at the star laden sky and pondered why was he destined to be what he was and why was he the one who just couldn't live like the others' obviously did. "Because you refused to let the past go. I gave you opportunities and you ignored them all for the Flower Girl and the True SOLDIER," Minerva's voice echoed around him like a harsh cold wind that chilled you to the bone. Cloud shook his head and began laughing at the response. He should've known that she would answer him after he pushed Aerith away. "Is she fine? Is she happy," he asked his face still holding an almost insane smile. "They are very happy and she is doing just fine. Cloud, walk to the sea. There you will see why Fenrir chose you," Minerva replied. Cloud did as he was told and there stood a solitary wolf. It held a look of distrust and hatred for him. He found himself asking why Minerva lied to him about Fenrir choosing him when he clearly hated him.

"You clearly do not have fight left in you boy. I chose you because you wanted to protect those you loved. I silently watched you and chose to be your guide. I hoped to lead you down the path preordained for you, but you turned away from it and your future became Genesis's future. And here you are blaming everyone else but yourself. You are a shameful sight and I wish to move on. To be free of you, but I made a promise to guide you and guide you a shall to a new future. Maybe in this world you will not repeat the mistake you made here. The world is Hallow Bastion. Your friend's will be there but keep in mind this is another dimension and they do not know of this plane," Fenrir growled out before his eyes began to glow red and Cloud saw his surroundings blur and shift. Soon he disappeared and no one found him since. The only trace that he existed was their memories and a photo Tifa has of him...

The End.

Author's Note 2: Kinda wanted to give a different aspect as to why Cloud was in KH and all. So that is what happened to Cloud when he disappeared when his friends were starting a war with Deepground. Hope you guys enjoyed this filler. Also so sorry for my extremely late updates, work is a drag when it comes to twelve hours shift with no days off lol.
