Chapter 5 of
Truth

Many people thought that Bahamut was the King of Summons. When they discovered the Knights of the Round
summon and found that it was stronger than Bahamut, they thought that the leader of that summon, King Arthur, was
the true king of summons. What they didn't know was that there were summons stronger than both of them, though
they were kept secret. But the king of summons was the strongest summon. The summon called Griever. A huge dark
lion with wings and a colorful headdress. Every other summon knew that he would only serve the strongest human alive
in the planet and only one human had ever used him before, in the dimension of sorceresses. But in this dimension, none
have been able to tame the king of summons, until now.

The messengers of the summons, choco and mog, address Griever. "My lord, the planet from the dimension of the
Cetra has sent us someone who is to be materialized." Griever looked into the mind of the lifestream inside the planet and
knew everything about the situation.

"Show him to me," Griever commanded.

And the clone of Cloud Strife came upon Griever.

"This one is a clone. He cannot be materialized. Cetra planet, come forth."

A green glow surrounded Griever and the Cetra lifestream entered Griever's mind.

"What is it my lord?" it asked.

"A person will not be ale to use this clone, not as a summon, Guardian Force or Esper."

The planet felt worry and asked, "Then what shall we do? He is too strong to contain in our planet."

Griever thought for a moment and said, "He is a clone, who is the original?"

"Cloud Strife, but he is dying your majesty, upon Mount Nibel, he cannot help us."

"Wrong, there is great power to be unlocked within him and I must do that. Phoenix, rise and spray you power upon
Cloud Strife."

The phoenix rose forward and flew to Mt. Nibel with her golden red feathers. But she saw not one but many bodies
scattered all over Nibelheim.

"Master, I cannot revive this many people, there is too much."

Griever roared and yelled, "What is happening, explain Planet."

"The scientist, Hojo, is burning down the town so that no one knew of Shinra's presence there. He also has a cloning
tank in his mansion with clones of Cloud Strife, Zachary Riley, Tifa Lockheart and Sephiroth. He wishes to control them
with the power of Jenova. Her cells are in their blood except for Tifa. The true forms of these people are dead. Hojo will
then rebuild Nibelheim and put Shinra employees there so their is nothing related to the company."

Griever though about this."This is wrong though, we have already watched this seventh fantasy, why is this changing?"

The Planet replied,"Perhaps the after effect of time compression in the eight final fantasy."

Griever thought once more and made a final decision. "Phoenix, revive the original Tifa, Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth. Then
encase them into mako glaciers and put them near the northern continent. Diablos, change time and make sure the Tifa clone
escapes and joins Master Zangan." Diablos, the time and gravity master, bowed and went to fulfill his master's bidding.
"Hades and Doomtrain, give a permanent berserk and confuse to the Sephiroth clone to make him psychotic so he fulfills his
original destiny as the villain in the seventh final fantasy." Hades and Doomtrain left for their tasks also. "Carbuncle, make sure
that the last two clones escape Hojo and are safe. Now, Eden, visit the original's minds and bring them too me. I will teach them
magic and attacks that will make them strong. Especially Cloud. He has great potential to wield my power. Better than Squall
Leonhart even." The last summons went of to do their master's bidding. "Now, let us again watch the seventh Final Fantasy and
then continue it."

**************************************

"So you see?"

The Planet had finished telling him the story of the truth.

"You are not Cloud Strife but a clone of him, as is Tifa. The Sephiroth you killed and the Zack that died at the hands of Shinra
soldiers were all clones. There is a real Cloud Strife, a true Tifa Lockheart, a sane Sephiroth and an alive Zack in the world
trapped in mako glaciers."

Cloud was about to scream. *I must be dreaming, thats it. This is all a dream, I am Cloud Strife, Tifa is Tifa, Zack and Sephiroth
are dead*

"Afraid not love, all of this is the truth."

Cloud looked up and saw he was back at the flower field and Aeris was sitting right next to him.

"But, but..."

" I understand your pain, your concerns, no need to be worried. Just stay here with me now and for once in your life, be happy
for a while."

She then turned to face him and gave him a light kiss on his lips and Cloud felt all his fears go away.

"Love, just stay with me for awhile now and then go back to the real world. I'll tell you then what to do."

Then, Cloud Strife and Aeris Gainsborough embraced.

And the clone of Cloud Strife awoke in the Highwind with a worried Tifa looking at him.
