We last left Cloud and his new Partner Sirea as they managed to obtain three of the four needed tailsmens needed to get Cloud to take on his greatest challenge, Cloud is running into greater problems, but can he face them? Will he get Aeris back?


Chapter 7: A day in the Clouds for Cloud

*we find the two climbing a REALLY big mountain to the top*

Cloud: climbing a mountain wasn't exactly what I had in mind for a final challenge.....

Sirea: live with it

*when the two reach the top they find the temple isn't a building but rather a flat plateau*

Cloud: weird shape for a temple....

???: HEY DON'T INSULT MY TEMPLE!!!! I just like the air so I don't build walls that's all

Cloud: let me guess, your the final guardian and your name is Sky, right?

Skye: well really my REAL name is Skye with an e, but your close

Cloud: riiiiiight,

Skye: I control the skys and I am the most powerful of the elementals your about to find out why, for I can control the actual forces of the sky *makes it start raining*

Cloud: well a little rain never hurt anyone

Sirea: um Cloud, this is pretty heavy rain so heavy that there might be

*lightning strikes almost hitting Cloud*

Sirea: lightning......

Skye: try and beat me now, if you think you can

Cloud: hm, I've got one plan but if I told you it, you'd probably think I'm insane

Sirea: try me

Cloud: well all I do is this!!!! *runs toward Skye while at dodging the lightning, Cloud than grabs Skye*

Skye: argh let go of me!!!

Cloud: this is going to be a shocking experiance

*Cloud than uses his sword as yes you guess it a lightning rod and shock both of them, ouch*

Skye: argh, I was beatened by my own element, man that sucks.....*disappears*

Cloud: ow, that hurt

Sirea: CLOUD!!!! ARE YOU CRAZY??!!

Cloud: well I did say my plan might have caused you to say that, don't worry I can walk it off *tries and gets up but can't*

Sirea: don't worry I can heal you, better than any restore Materia.......HEALING WIND

Cloud: Healing Wind? *gets miracously healed and he gets up* Sirea? How were you able to do that?

Sirea: I just was okay? A lot of Cetras know how to do that move

Cloud: yeah I guess your right, well you did a good job too, well we've gathered all the tailsmens now let's go to that big challenge

Sirea: I'm ready if you are



Chapter 8: The Final Challenge?

*Cloud and Sirea have made it to the final temple*

Cloud: well we're here.....so how do these tailsmens work anyway?

Sirea: just slot them into the holes there

Cloud: okay *does so and than the huge stone doors open up* well, Sirea? Do you know ANYTHING about this final challenge?

Sirea: not really but all I know, that it's the warrior's greatest nightmare come to life, it's the one thing that we never want to see again but it will be standing there before you, you have to strong both pshyical and emotionally to beat it, Cloud I know you are strong enough to do it

Cloud: thanks, I could use the encouragement

*The two enter the temple*

???: Cloud.......help me.....

Cloud: That voice, AERIS!!!! SHE'S IN TROUBLE!!!! *runs off*

Sirea: WAIT CLOUD, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S A TRAP!!!!

*Cloud runs forward ignoring what Sirea told him and soon he enters the main room where he finds a very familiar face kneeling at an alter*

Cloud: Aeris.......don't worry I'm here, for you *Cloud than looks up and sees yet another familiar face descending on her FAST* SEPHROITH!!! *starts running to Aeris* Not this time, I will even give up my life for you.....

Sirea: CLOUD NO!!! *Sirea than tackles Cloud*

Cloud: HEY LET ME GO!!!!!!

*Cloud than horrifyingly witnesses Sephroith impale Aeris, but this time Aeris just simply disappears it was all an illusion*

Sephroith: DAMN!!! I thought I had you there......my trap was perfect

Sirea: THAT'S WHAT I'm been trying to tell you, Cloud that WASN'T AERIS!!!! Don't you stop and even think? Is she THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU, THAT YOU DON'T EVEN CONSIDER YOUR OWN LIFE???!!

Cloud: Sirea......your right, I can't think I should have been more prepared....but I can't bear to fail Aeris again.....so yes she is that important

Sirea: Cloud....you sometimes can't let you feelings get in the way, Aeris did the same thing when she sacrificed herself for you Cloud....

Cloud: and how would you know?

Sirea: I just do okay?

Sephroith: hmph....I hate being ignored, so we meet again Cloud....finally we can end this *draws Masamune*

Cloud: for once I agree with you, we ARE going to end this....*draws Ultima Weapon*

The two start to fence with such skill that it is second to none, they move with such speed and technique that if you are untrained you can barely see them, but unfortunatley Sephroith zaps Cloud with a speel that stuns him and he is sent on the floor with Sephroith with his sword over Cloud's head

Sirea: STOP!!! *jumps in the way* I won't let you hurt him

Cloud: Sirea don't...

Sephroith: well, it sounds like you fallen for this girl as well, I think I'll kill her first just to see you suffer *knocks her aside and aims his sword at her*

Cloud: NO!!!! *somehow overcome the spell and stands up* I won't let you hurt anymore of my friends....OMNI-SLASH!!!!!! *executes it*

Sephroith: BUT HOW??! ARGH *dies*

Cloud: you alright?

Sirea: yeah,

Cloud: and what were you doing there? If I didn't know better I think you were letting YOUR feelings get in the way

Sirea: yeah well, I guess I lied.....well Cloud you did it, you defeated your final challenge

???: Yes and you are worthy to be with the one you love again...

*the two turn around and the judge is standing before them*

Judge: Congradulations Cloud, I didn't really think you could do it, but you did it....

Cloud: thank you

Judge: yes you get to see her in the morning......I'll see you then *leaves*




Chapter 9: Reunited.....at last

*during the night*

Cloud: I went through a lot, but I can finally see Aeris again....

*just than he hears a knock on his door to his room*

Cloud: who is it?

Sirea: Sirea

Cloud: come in

*Sirea enters the door, she is wearing a really beautiful evening dress*

Cloud: woah.....

Sirea: Cloud, I just want to tell you....when you saved my life, I want to thank you for that

Cloud: don't mention it

Sirea: yes, and when you did I felt something sort of like an attarction

Cloud: really

Sirea: yes, Cloud I think I am in love with you

Cloud: what?

Sirea: I think I am in love with you, *moves in and kisses him*

Cloud: *breaks it off* I'm sorry Sirea, but I feel this isn't right but I finally understand my love for Aeris, before I thought I was in love with her, but now I know that I truely am, no crushes, no puppy love but rather true love and I felt I was forgetting about her everytime I thought about you, I can't "cheat" on her anymore that would betray any feelings I have for her

Sirea: *smiles* I understand Cloud,

Cloud: you mean your not mad?

Sirea: no of course not how can I be? Your a one in a million Cloud, you want Aeris and only her, she is very lucky to have someone like you, well I better be going *leaves*

Cloud: I'm glad she understands, boy I'm glad I did tell her, I feel like a great weight was lifted from my shoulders

*that morning, Cloud is heads for the main temple*

Cloud: well I'm here

Judge: and here is Aeris

*Aeris than walks towards Cloud*

Aeris: hello Cloud, it's so good to see you again

Cloud: *hugs her* it's so good to see you too....

Aeris: let's go home

Cloud: okay but.....

Aeris: but what?

Cloud: this doesn't feel right....no *sees Sirea in the crowd and walks over to her* it's you isn't it? You were the one guiding me all along

Sirea: what do you mean?

Cloud: ha, you should have been an actress....you had me fooled during that whole adventure, Sirea or should I say Aeris....your the one I love

Sirea: *smiles* I'm glad you figured it out Cloud now I no longer need this disguise *some light passes over Sirea and she really is Aeris and the Aeris, Cloud was talking to disappears*

Judge: you have passed your real test, let me explain to be reunited with the one you love you need three things: 1) endurance and patience 2) Faithfulness 3) The ability to see with one's heart not with their eyes, you passed the first test when went on that journey and fought all challenges, you passed the second test when I personally arranged Aeris or Sirea to go to your room and admit that, if you had really loved Aeris you would have refused which you did

Cloud: but why Aeris? You can make really good illusions so why did you go through all the trouble to disguise Aeris?

Aeris: that was part of the third test

Judge: yes to see with your heart, when I presented a fake Aeris your heart should have told you that it was a false and point to where the real Aeris was, I had Aeris pretend that she was someone else, and yet you did you passed this test. You two may go home now, I'll even send you back there *a white light teleports the two home*




Chapter 10: Epilouge

*when the two are home*

Cloud: Aeris......I'm sorry

Aeris: for what?

Cloud: well, while you were Sirea I felt like I was falling in love with you

Aeris: but you didn't.....and it showed that you did love me, Cloud your only human besides it was my job to distract you from well me

Cloud: that test really opened my eyes, and made me realize my true love for you and how lucky I have you, Aeris *embraces her* I'm not going to fail you again

Aeris: *returns the embrace* you never failed me to begin with Cloud.....

*just than the two realize that ALL their friends are watching them*

Cloud: how long were you standing there?

Tifa: long enough

Yuffie: Aeris is that really you?

Aeris: yep I'm back

Cid: and you thought the spikey kid was crazy

Barrett: hey you said he was crazy too

Vincent: and so what happened?

Cloud: well, it's quite a story

Aeris: but we hope that you can listen, well it all started when

Cloud: wait...

Aeris: what

Cloud: I never had a chance to give you a REAL kiss *kisses her in front of everyone* there now I'll tell you what happened......

THE END


And so that is the end of this story, congrats to Christi for guessing yes Sirea was all that time Aeris, you are a true Aeris fan. For those who didn't think it was a coincidence Sirea is Aeris spelt backwards. Thank you to ALL my kind reviewers, you made writing stories a really fun hobby, I love writing know and I feel that I can be a successful writer someday.
