Closing her eyes, she gathered energy for the summon. Sephiroth saw her and laid a hand on her shoulder, so he could give her some of his energy. At the same time that Kali's summon had released, Vincent unleashed his attack. The attack was livewire, the lightning bolts singed Kali's skin painfully as she stood there, helpless as her summon materia released its monster. Sephiroth also was getting hit badly. He had opened his eyes long enough to see Kali's condition. He then did something no one else had even seen him do.

Sephiroth placed himself in front of her, his back to the lightning bolt's direction, protecting Kali. Hit after painful hit, he stood there, not moving a muscle. The mysterious summon turned out to be one that hadn't been discovered. It was called Undying. The materia took the shape of a man with a sword, who was dressed in black robes. Kali opened her eyes to see this, and screamed out, "CANE!!!!"

Her voice rang throughout Nibelhiem, as well as its mountains.

The figure disappeared, after it had done its attacks. Vincent lie there, non moving. He was dead.

Kali helped Sephiroth stand, only to see him collapse. She quickly used the last of her magic power to heal him. He woke up right away, still sore though.

"Sephiroth..I saw him..I saw Cane.." Tears swam in her eyes.

He gave her a hug, then stood up with her help and observed their handiwork.

"we've killed them all.." Whispered Kali.

Sephiroth smiled and kissed her forehead. "yes. But the important thing isn't that we've gotten rid of these pests..the important thing is...that we are together. Before I met you, I had no idea that such love existed in me.."

Her smile turned to a wince, as she held her side.

"you're hurt!" he said, instantly using cure 3 on her.

"thanks..I believe that..as long as I have you, and this materia..Cane isn't really gone."

With a smile, Sephiroth walked with Kali to Shinra Mansion.

A few seconds after they had left, Yuffie crept out from behind a building. She kicked the members of her team she used to travel with, softly, so she could get the materia.

Getting all the materia, she felt empty. The wind turned colder, and more bitter. "Evil has triumphed...for once." She said, stepping over bodies to walk into the darkness that seemed to lead to nothing; just as the endless void of the Abyss that cloud and friends would have the displeasure of visiting before they plummeted into the lifestream.
