Genesis…
Sephiroth staggered and slowly sank to the floor; he's killing me, he killing me as painfully and slowly as he can in revenge for me ruining his chance to stop the degradation. He let out a low moan "Genesis….what have I done"
"Ruined your chance for redemption" Genesis landed beside him and held up the Materia watching the light dance across its surface "you know what I wished Sephiroth?" he looked down and smiled horribly "I wished that I could share an apple with you, just one and my life would be complete" he held his rapier to Sephiroth's neck "but you weren't there…..were you?" he drew the rapier back and slammed it against Sephiroth's ribs with enough force to shatter them, he flew into the wall and lay crumpled as Genesis leapt into the air and hovered above him.
"Genesis…." Sephiroth moaned "forgive me"
"Too late for that brother" he laughed mirthlessly and started to gather a fireball in his hand "should I call you brother? After all we do have the same cells… we're both monsters"
Sephiroth lifted his head and raised himself up onto his arms "dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul, pride is lost, wings stripped away, the end is nigh" he unfurled his own wing feeling some of the feathers fall on top of him.
"Such is the fate of a monster" Genesis muttered and landed in front of him "the wandering soul knows no rest"
"Will you stop wandering…..hero?"
Genesis looked down at him in surprise "hero" he whispered, Sephiroth tried to sit up and fell back onto his arms again
"You can be….you can be a hero to Cloud and Tifa, and to Marlene and Denzel, you just have to let go" he looked at the wavering Genesis and muttered pleadingly "I know you can …Genesis"
Genesis hesitated, seeming to be torn between the want to be a hero and the want for vengeance, the fire crackled in his hand and he jerked slightly coming out of his thoughts. "The world does need a new hero" he whispered he stared at the fire the pointed his hand at Sephiroth "but to insure my triumph, I'd better get rid of the old one first" with that he threw the fire ball at Sephiroth who somehow managed to dodge and got shakily to his feet.
"Genesis, think about what you're doing"
"I don't want to think!" he yelled throwing fireball after fireball at Sephiroth "I don't wan to feel!" "I don't want to get hurt again!"
Sephiroth stood and let the fire strike him again and again until his legs could no longer hold him up; he sank to the floor and looked up smiling "going to kill me Genesis? I advise you not to"
"Why?" Genesis snorted but lowered his hand "who's going to come and save you from me?"
A large lamp connected with the back with Genesis's head and he fell to the floor unconscious, Tseng stood over him panting slightly, Sephiroth smiled slightly
"Well that took care of him" he muttered, he looked up and for a second a trance of fear flickered in his eyes as he saw Tseng's expression. Tseng stepped forward still holding the lamp, not really knowing what to do. Here was the chance he had been waiting for, Sephiroth was lying in front of him totally defenceless and he was just standing there staring at him.
Sephiroth struggled to get up and glared at the Materia still clutched in Genesis's hand, Tseng followed his gaze and stared at the Materia for a moment then he picked it up.
"Now I wonder how this works?" he whispered and stared directly at Sephiroth, he flinched and almost looked away, Sephiroth's stare had gone beyond glaring, his Mako infused eyes burned with hatred
"So…Tseng it's come to this, a petty plan for vengeance I thought that sort of thing was beneath you, obliviously the standard of Turks has declined since I was last here"
"The last time you were here" Tseng was struggling to kept his voice calm "you ran me through with your sword"
"Well then, you shouldn't have been snooping around, curiosity killed the cat you know"
Tseng let out a cry of rage and activated the Materia. Sephiroth's eyes dulled and he flinched, his shoulders shaking with the effort not to cough. Then all the colour drained from his face and he retched.
Tseng turned away in disgust "and I thought you were stronger" he kicked Genesis in the ribs as he stepped over him "monsters the both of you" he paused then stamped on Genesis's wing, there was an audible crack. Sephiroth winced in sympathy as Genesis screamed and knocked Tseng to the ground.
"You'll regret this Turk!" he howled and lifted his rapier
Sephiroth watched the scene in front of him and a dark smile spread across his face.
