DIVINE CROSSING
Chapter Two: Memories of JENOVA
~~~Earth: during the Buu Saga~~~
Jenova both chuckled and sighed with releif as she desended into the Lifestream of the new planet. This world was unbeliveably rich with life and the Lifestream was stable, and stayed beneth the surface. In fact very few of the planets occupants were aware that it exisited, they thought that when someone died, they went the "heaven" as they called, they didn't realize that the Lifestream was the heaven they knew.
Still she was bothered, as she floated around the blueish waters of the lifestream...This planet has a blue Lifestream.....she thought, she gathered information, and it was dishearting. As it seemed this planet had a beast gaurdian, whom some called the Eternal Dragon, or Shenlong. Another thing was one man named Goku. While Shenlong gaurded the planet, he was only able to do small things, when something was out of his controll, Goku, and his friends would step in and intervene.
As it was, they were busy battleing a creature called Majin Buu, a creature not unlike herself, who feed on life energy of living beings. The big difference was he "devoured souls". She laughed at the concept, it was impossible to consume souls, living or other wise, you could steal their energy, yes. But never the actual soul. After the energy was drained, they returned to the planet, and re-energized themselves.
If I had the strenght, I could make short work of this place. Majin Buu's rampages for more energy had coused more souls to retuen to the planet..It's already starting to over flow... But if she was to strike now Goku and Co. would stop her..She needed a plan, more importantly, she needed someone to fight them and kill them if possible so she could absorb the Lifestream. But who.... I need someone close to them, who has some power of his own.she rationalized. She searched the stream inside out, until she found the perfect person.
Her target floated peacefully among the other souls, black hair and black eyes waved in the current, and the power, oh the power that the person radiated!!...it was strange..this power was deep, locked within the depts it's spirit...almost as if it were .....Cetran!?!?! Jenova thought. Oh course, the Cetra migrated to more than one planet, it was possible that more than one stayed behind ever time, and populated the planet with half-blooded offspring. This was too good to be true.she thought ashe desended upon her victim.

~~~Gaia, 2 months after Meteor~~~~
Another quiet day dawned over New Midgar City, the once tall, proud, and poisionous town had been reduced to rubble by the Lifestream, and had been rebuildt by Cloud and his friends.
The first house to show signs of life was the Strife-Wallace-Lockheart- Kisaragi-Valentine-Highwind residence. In fact it wasn't really a house, it was more like a compound made of a couple of houses connected by halls. The above said sign of life was a Ms. Tifa Lockheart who forced herself from her warm, soft bed to the kitchen, it was her morning to make breakfast. As she shuffled around the huge kitchen, big enough to feed an army, but barely large enough to feed their group, she pulled out eggs, gritts, bacon, milk, orange juice, flour, oil, pans, plates, and bowls, and got to work.
Just as she took off the first batch of pancakes, Barett Walace and his duaghter Marlene walked down stairs (Well Marlene walked, Barett sorta dragged himself.) Behind him was Nanaki, or Red XIII, who gave a cat-like strech before padding onto the tile floor. "Morning Aunt Tifa!" Marlene greeted the shapely brunette at the stove. "Good morning Marlene, Barett, Red." she greeted each in turn. Barett and Red took their places at the 8-foot long table, while Marlene helped Tifa.
All was quiet til a barage of cussing came form the other end of the room. "Morning Cid." Barett called already knowing who it was. Sure enough Cid Highwind, the infamous pilot and astronaut, and his wife Shera treked in. Cid took his seat beside Barret and Shera joined the other two girls behind the counter. Cid scooted himself up to the table and lit a cig, which was quickly put out when Shera leveled him with a rare death-glare.
"Where's Vince? He's usally up by this time." asked Cid. Tifa looked up from her sentry over the bacon, "Left early this morning, said he'd be back by noon." Cid shrugged. "Vince went where?" a female voice asked.
Everyone turned to meet Yuffie Kisaragi, the resident materia hunter and ninja. When one one answered, she sat down at the table and promptly fell asleep. "Now the last one left is Cloud. The lazy bum is never up before 9 o'clock.." Barett complained as the girls came out with palates loaded with food.

Carnage was every where. Blood so deep it covered mid-calf. Bodies heaped over each other, burning buildings filled the air with smoke. It was terrible, and entire city had been wiped out in a matter of minutes, and all by a single person. Ahead of him, at the end of the street the silouette of one person stood, outlined in the flames of a burning house. Around him the others gasped and began to back away. To the left of him, a young man stepped forward and began to plead with the dark figure, it's response was to hurl a ball a flame at their group, causing them to scatter. He took a long jump to the left, avoiding the gout of fire. As he stood up, he noticed a figure run towards the person, a familar long sword held high, he jumped....and missed. Instead the blade conected with a tenacle, that belonged to a familar monster. Instantly the other tenacle whipped out and knocked the man back to their group. Laughing, the monster and the dark figure stepped forward, melting into each other, becoming one. The creature crept closer, and stopped before a strange man that had been with them, he felt a hand grab his arm, he turned to see Tifa holding on to him, "Cloud, she's gonna kill Gohan!!!"
"Gohan? who's Gohan?"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Cloud tumbled out of his bed and onto the floor. Seconds later Tifa burst into the room and to his side. "Cloud! Whats wrong?!?" she asked with fear in his eyes. He just stared up into her ruby eyes, his emotions reflecting her own. "Jenova...." he whispered. "Jenova's alive."
