Vincent woke up. He got out of bed and peeked through the window. The city was flooded and there were a big number of dead corpses floating around. He went to the bar downstairs and only saw the doctor and the children. Next, he stepped out of the Seventh Heaven and made his way in direction of the plaza. There, he saw the girls and Nanaki unconscious.

"What in the world happened here...?"

Vincent grabbed them one by one and brought them to the bar in order to be inspected by the doctor.

They didn't have any massive injuries, so a cure materia would do the trick.

Nanaki was the first one to come to his senses.

"Red, what happened?"

"Sveta took our Summons..." He answered after shaking his head. "She's way stronger than we ever imagined."

The girls woke up a few moments after.

They were trapped in the worst case scenario. Sveta was just one step away of reviving Sephiroth. If they didn't find a way of beating her before that, the guys who went to the laboratory would definitely be in a tight spot.

"We can't just leave them alone, we have to go to that woman's lab." Cissnei said.

"And how do you suppose we do that? We have no idea where it is." Tifa countered.

Elena stepped up with a smile on her face. Good thing she had installed a GPS device inside Tseng's cellphone. That way, they could find out their whereabouts. The blond grabbed her phone from her pocket and activated her tracking application. A blue dot appeared in the phone's screen. That dot represented Tseng and its location was... The Forgotten Capital.

Vincent quickly said he would go with them.

"Will you be okay? What if your memories fade away again midway through the battle?" Tifa was concerned.

At that moment, a tired voice interrupted them.

"I'll punch him in the face and... Make him remember everything right... Away..."

Were their eyes deceiving them? It was Yuffie leaning against the wall, up on her own two feet!

The girl suddenly lost her balance and almost fell on the ground, if not for Vincent running to catch her in his arms.

"I've regained almost all of my movements. I'm ready to kick some butt!" Yuffie said.

The group tried to persuade her out of it but she wouldn't budge. She kept affirming she was the White Rose of Wutai and she'd fight like the amazing warrior she was.

In the end, they gave in to her. She was so stubborn.

The airship arrived at the Forgotten Capital and everyone disembarked except Genesis and his group, who remained hidden.

"What do we do now?" Cid asked.

"We stick to the plan. Even though the situation got a little out of hand, we still have a chance to win this." Tseng stated.

"Alright! Let's go!" Reno stood up.

The guys exited the airship and inspected their surroundings. Since that city held an altar, they could only imagine she'd perform the alchemy ritual there. They couldn't think of where Cloud was being held, though. Either way, they made their way to the altar carefully as to not be spotted by anyone.

For Cid and Barret, that altar triggered bad memories. Sephiroth killed Aerith there... They couldn't let anyone else die in that place again.

The guys reached the altar fairly fast. There, they saw a huge transmutation circle drawn on the floor and all the Summons placed on top of the seven-pointed star inside the circle. Cloud was lying on the floor right next to it.

No one else was seen there, besides Sveta. That was their chance to surprise her and beat her.

Although it wouldn't be that easy. She already knew the group had infiltrated. But it didn't matter to her. It just meant that the show would have first-handed audience. It thrilled her to no end.

Barret was the first one to charge forward against the woman, Reno and Rude right behind him.

Sveta wasn't going to waste any time fighting them, at the moment, so she simply cast Stop to the three and the other guys who were still hiding.

"I was hoping you could just sit down and enjoy the last act of the play. It won't take long, but I promise it shall be one hell of a show!" The tone in her voice infuriated everyone, including Tseng who was usually calm and collected.

"What have you done to Cissnei and the others?!" Genesis interrogated her.

"Well, you know. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Just the necessary to take them out without killing them." Sveta laughed hysterically, like she usually did.

The woman walked up towards Cloud and kicked his shoulder to wake him up. Then, she placed her hand on top of the ice shard in the man's stomach. As soon as she took that piece of ice out, Cloud would bleed out and the alchemy ritual would finally begin.

The Stop timer was nearing its end, so she reforged the spell.

What are we going to do...?, Genesis kept thinking but no ideas buzzed his mind.

Then, out of the blue, a tiny person leapt through the air and punched Sveta so hard, that the woman was sent flying quite a few meters away from Cloud.

"That was for Tifa!" The little girl shouted. It was Yuffie!

Tifa ran nimbly to Cloud's side and used Curaga at the same time she took the shard out slowly.

Sveta picked herself up from the ground only to get wounded by Cissnei's shuriken. The woman prepared to attack the new intruders by casting some spell but her risen hand was shot by a thunder-imbued bullet. That was Vincent's move.

In the mean time, the Stop spell dispersed and Nanaki cast a Wall on the entire group.

"If it wasn't for us, what would happen to you guys, huh?" Elena joked.

Yuffie threw her shuriken towards Sveta, though the woman dodged that advance. Yuffie didn't care and quickly punched her enemy in the face for the second time.

"This was for Wutai!" The girl yelled.

The entire group was mesmerized, first due to her sudden recovery and second because of that insane power. So that was Chaos' doing.

Yuffie sat on top of Sveta's chest and thrust another punch and another and yet another.

"This was for Reeve! This one was for Vincent! And this was for Cloud!"

Sveta's face was almost crushed by Yuffie.

The woman snapped her fingers and five clones materialized, ready to strike the girl. But Vincent swiftly shot the five monsters down.

Genesis took his stand, next. He stroke his hand across the Rapier's blade and sliced the air. Fire razors formed and flew in Sveta's direction.

Sveta's movements were sluggish thanks to Yuffie's investments, so she wasn't fast enough to run away from Genesis' attack.

Nanaki came from the left side and bit his foe's arm.

Sveta groaned it pain.

Obs: Genesis is still using the same combo from a few chapters before, but this time he used the fire element.

And damn, Yuffie! She's just amazing! :D

I'm sorry for the delay on this chapter. I'm going to be a little bit busy in the next few days, so I won't be able to update the story everyday as I used to. Either way, hope you enjoyed this chapter. ^^
