NA: Hoshi ni Negai o
The next morning, Hiro awoke with a start. "Aya!" Sweat poured down the blond's face. Hiro looked around to see he was in his room and he sighed. He jumped out of the bed and ran into the hallway. He quickly ran down the stairs, and he saw the others. Aya saw Hiro first, and she was the nearst to the steps. Everything was silence since they saw Hiro and Aya staring at each other. But Hiro ran up and hugged her, tears falling from his face. Aya was surprised, and she hugged back. "Don't ever..don't ever scare me like that again Aya.." said Hiro, who was still crying. "I..won't Hiro.." She said, let go of him. Hiro let go of her, and looked at Tiamatt. "How did you kill all of those demons?" asked Hiro, which surprised everyone.
"What? Hiro you killed them!" Tiamatt said in surprised. "I did? But all I remember is being bit, and fainting in Aya's arms." said Hiro, sctraching his head. "Oh, well.." Tiamatt looked at Cloud, who gave her look not to tell him. "Nevermind Hiro." said Tiamatt, who kept searching through Shirna Files. Hiro sighed. "Well...if you need me, I'll be on the roof." said Hiro as he walked up the stairs.
As Hiro stood on the roof, the sun shining in his eyes, he felt as though he wasn't alone. He heard gentle footsteps, and he knew who those were. "Aya, come on out." said Hiro, turning to look at the teal-haired girl. Aya looked out and looked at him, and she walked over to him. They stood there in silence, Hiro still looking at the sky. It was broken by Aya. "Hiro..I'm sorry..." She said, wondering if he would forgive her. Hiro looked at her, and smiled. "I forgive you Aya, don't worry." But Hiro's senses came on as he saw a cloaked man on the another rooftop across from him. "Aya..go inside..." Hiro said, pulling out Mirs. "Ok...Should I get the others?" asked Aya, who also noticed the man. "Yea..that be good!" Hiro said as he jumped over the roof.
"So do you love watching others?" asked Hiro, sword out. The cloaked figure chuckled. "Well...it varies, depending on the person." He said, taking out a sword. But Hiro soon reconized that blade. "Thats the Buster Sword..How in the hell?" Hiro said, getting into a stance. "I guess I should introduce myself." But it was to late when Hiro clashed Mirs with the Buster Sword. "Come on! Hiro is that how you treat a old friend?" He said, taking off his hood.
Hiro gasped, and he dropped his own sword. "No..you died!"
It was none other then Zack, the black haired man chuckled. "Yes..I beilve I did." Hiro's eyes widened, but then glared. "Then how the hell did you come back!??!" said Hiro. "Well..that is what I need to talk to you about. I'm not the only one back." said Zack, putting the Buster Sword on the ground. "But who else came back?" asked Hiro. "Well..you would be surprised. I can only tell you one of them though. Aeris of course." Hiro would of jumped up, happily, but he stayed together. "But Hiro, we can't stay forever. The people here are here for a reason." said Zack. "But..why? Who brought you back?" asked Hiro. "Hiro..it is a part of your 'Destiny' as your father says. But I want you to to bring some people with you to the Ancient City."
"My destiny?" Hiro questioned him, wondering what he meant. "You'll find out soon. But do me a favor..don't tell anyone we are back. We can only be here for a limted time." And with that, Zack dissapeared. Hiro smirked, and then turned around to go back into the bar. As he entered, Tiamatt, Kadai, Ara, Kadaj, and Aya were the only ones in there. "Where is everyone else?" asked Hiro. "Oh..they went out. But did you-" Hiro cut Kadai off. "Yea. Guy was barely worth my time." Hiro lied, sitting beside of Tiamatt. "Well, it took you a long time. Aya wanted you to fight the guy alone." Hiro turned to Aya, and smiled. "That was a good idea Aya." Aya blushed and turned away. "Thank you.."
Hiro remembered the words of Zack, and turned to Tiamatt. "Tia..we have to go to the Ancient City." Tiamatt looked at Hiro in shock. "What? Why?" Hiro had to come up with a lie. "I want to!" Tiamatt sighed. "Alright Hiro, if you want to..lets go."

"Why did we come here really Hiro?" asked Kadai as she walked beside Hiro. "I just had a feeling..." Hiro started but was hit in the head hard by Kadai. "STOP LYING!" But they were cut off by a laugh. "Same old Hiro." Hiro turned to see Zack and Aeris, who of course had their hands twisted together. Tiamatt's eyes widened, and the first thing she did was run up and hugged Zack. "Zack? Why are you back? Aren't you suppose to be dead?" She asked, letting go of the black-haired man. He smirked. "Yea...Aeris and I are back..but for a limtied time."
Hiro already went up and hugged Aeris, and smirked as he let her go. "Wow, it's been 3 years, and you still want to wear pink!" Hiro laughed. Aeris did as well. "Yes. I know, but I exepct you to wear more then just a pair of sweat shorts and a muscle shirt." Hiro put his hand behind his head. "Yea...Void took control of me. He's still..." Hiro put his hand to his heart, meaning he was still in him. "Oh..I'm sorry I couldn't help you then...two men helped me." said Aeris, putting her head down. "Oh, its no biggie..besides being harrased and threatened, Void is useless."
"Why did you call us here anyway?" asked Ara, looking around. "I needed to kill Hiro." said a voice. Tiamatt's eyes widened, and she stepped back. "No..It can't.."
But it was.
A man appeared out of the darkness. It was none of then the Bringer of Destruciton, the man who killed Aeris, and killed Hiro back a year ago.
Sephiroth, the One Winged Angel.
Zack was the first one to remove his sword. "Sephiroth!" Sephiroth just smirked, pulling out the Masumane. "Time to die!" He swung at Zack, but the attack was blocked by Hiro, who was struggling. Sephiroth laughed and picked Hiro up by the throat and threw him up in the air. Hiro quickly recovered, and smirked. "Alright Sephiroth...Lets go!" Hiro dived and his sword locked with Sephiroth's. Ara, Kadai, and Kadaj couldn't help, since they stood there in shock. Sephiroth has returned.
Tiamatt was the most shocked of all of them, her lover and her brother, locked in a battle? She got on her knees, and started to breakdown. She didn't know which side to choose. Aya had heard of Sephiroth, and she was also scared of him.
Hiro kept slashing at Sephiroth, but his attacks didn't hurt him in one way. "Hiro..your abosuly patheic. Your as patheic, as Cloud, Tifa, and Tiamatt." Hiro's eyes widened at that comment, and his eyes glared. "Come now...bring that half-demon form." But Hiro was to busy slashing him, missing again. Sephiroth hit him back, sending him into a tree. Sephiroth then turned to Kadai, Kadaj, and Ara. "You all are a disgrace to Mother, you shall die here and now!" He tried to move, but Hiro got in the way. "Don't talk to them like that!" Hiro said as he slashed Sephiroth's arm, causing red blood to pour. He hit Hiro again, sending him to a near by statue. He then turned to Tiamatt, and he walked to her.
"I never loved you. I lusted for you..I want to see you scream!" He said, picking Tiamatt up by the hair. "Are you ready to die Tiamatt my love?" Tiamatt trembled, she couldn't stand it. Sephiroth, her lover, was trying to kill her? She closed her eyes, hoping this was a dream. But she was cut off by a grunt, and turned to see Aya, who pulled out Tiamatt's blade and stabbed Sephiroth's leg. "NO! DON'T HURT HER!" Aya cried, tears falling from her face. Sephiroth dropped Tiamatt, and picked up the teal girl by her throat. "So, are you prepared to die?" asked Sephiroth, blade at her heart.
Hiro's eyes was fading, all he could hear was Sephiroth trying to kill his friends.
No...
No..
NO!
The Blast of Light came out of Hiro, his eyes shining once again. He stood up. He threw Mirs at Sephiroth, which cut his arm. Sephiroth dropped Aya, and turned to the new Hiro. "So..you found a new power?" Hiro didn't answer, and he appeared infront of him. He muttered somthing, which surprised Tiamatt. The deep voice combined with Hiro's normal voice said:
"You are not Sephiroth."
Hiro quickly hit up Sephiroth in the air, and slashed him with his father's sword, which made Sephiroth disappeared. All of a sudden, ten verisons of that fake Sephiroth appeared, and they charged at Hiro. Hiro just slashed the fakes, which made them dissapeared. Then a Bizzaro Sephiroth appeared, and Hiro snapped his fingers, making a force field around him and the Fake Bizzaro.
Zack and Aeris stood beside of Tiamatt. "So..that wasn't the real Sephiroth?" asked Tiamatt, looking at them. "Of course not. A friend of ours created a fake one to test out Hiro. You see, Aeris and I call that Overide, which triggers when Hiro wants to protect, instead of just a pure killing intenion. Hiro must of heard what Sephiroth said to you and the others, relizing that wasn't Sephiroth, and somthing in him told him to protect you all." Zack explained. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING THOUGH? WE COULDN'T BEAT SEPHIROTH!" cried Tiamatt. "I'm sorry..but it wasn't are call."
Bizzaro Sephiroth tried to use various spells on Hiro, but none of them worked. "Why won't my spells work?" asked a deep voiced Sephirtoh, wondering how Hiro could be hit but still alive. "I guess I should scan him..." But then he noticed, and he cried out loud. "He is resisten to them! All that can hurt him is darkness!" The Overide Hiro put his hand up in the air, and created a light orb. He then threw it at Bizzaro Sephiroth, and it entered him. Bizzaro Sephiroth laughed and looked at the blonde. "So what was that? A patheic excuse for a attack?" But Hiro didn't do anything, he just held out his hand. "Wait...no!"
Hiro snapped his fingers.
Bizzaro's body made a big explosion, causing the barrier to be destroyed. Luckily, no one was hurt. Everyone coughed as the smoke cleared, to see Hiro fading, the light dissapearing from his body. As he fell, someone caught him.
"Wow..Hiro has grown up."
It was Zek, Hiro's old friend. "I wonder what the others will think of this. It is strange really." Zek said, bringing Hiro over to Tiamatt. Tiamatt smiled at Zek, who held out his hand. She took it and shook. "It's been years Tiamatt. 7?" Zek said laughing. "Yes." Ara and Kadai looked at Zack and them, and asked: "Care to explain?"
"That was 9 percent of Hiro's true power. We call it Overide, for some reason. It was Aeris' idea-" But he was cut off by Aeris. "And Hiro can only use that form when his friends are in trouble, the only reason Hiro uses it now is because of the time Void controled him, and his plan backfired, so he can't control Hiro for now." Ara and Kadai nodded, telling her to go on. "Meaning that he can't go half-demon for a while."
"But what is stronger, Hiro's Overide or his half-demon?" asked Ara. "And why does he have it?" asked Kadai. "Well, Hiro's Overide was at 9 percent of power, meaning he can easily defeat a fake Sephiroth. His half-demon couldn't. The real Sephiroth would of easily killed Hiro in his half-demon, while in Hiro's Overide he would put a little more effort. And the answer of your question Kadai..well..."
"She can't tell you." said Zek, holding his head. "Oh..will we ever find out?" asked Kadai, wondering. "Yes. One of these days you will." Zek said, as he started to walk away. "Listen, we will meet tomorrow. We'll bring the rest of us with us." said Zack, as he and Aeris followed. "Alright. Should we tell Hiro about his new form?" asked Tiamatt. "No. He'll understand soon."

"I knew it. Apart of it has been awaken." said Zan, looking at the sunset. Aex, who was beside him, sighed. "I wish that we could kill him.
