Seryl dragged Cloud down the stairs, across the room, and down the stairs to the second level of Hojo's lab. There, the rest of the captured Avalanche were half-concious. He threw Cloud down on the ground and Wyona injected a liquid into him.
"Yumi!" They looked up. Yuffie stood in the doorway. "What are you doing! Why do you need the Jenova cells?"
She stood up. "Why do you keep calling me Ayumi? My name is Wyona."
"No, not really." Eric's voice drifted from some shadows.
She turned to the direction of his voice. "What? I'm not Ayumi!" Seryl suddenly collapsed. "Seryl!"
Eric stepped out, holding a small controller. "There now. No more interruptions. Just you, me, and Miss Kisaragi."
"Eric! What are you up to now?" Yuffie demanded.
He hit another button, and the door form the stairs closed. "There. Now, you're probably wondering what's going on with me, Yumi, Seryl, and Hojo." He walked over to the girls. "Fourteen years ago, Sephiroth and the Soldier army came to Wutai. I was a Soldier too, and I was torn between my hometown and my occupation. Then, a week before they arrived Ayumi said she was going to fight against Sephiroth. I forbade her and told her to hide in Da Chao with little Yuffie. But, of course, she didn't listen, the stupid girl."
Ayumi ran to Eric, who was on the sidelines of the battle with other wounded people. "Where's Yuffie!?" she cried.
"I thought you had her."
A motion caught her eye, and she gasped. "Yuffie! She's climbing Da Chao!"
Eric squinted. "And Sephiroth's right behind her!"
She glanced at Eric, then grabbed his large sword. "I'm not letting that bastard get her," Ayumi declared, and started to the mountain.
"Ayumi! Don't! You'll die!" he called after her. But she didn't even pause for a second. She ran up the mountain, panting by the time she had reached the large stone hand where little Yuffie was balancing, with Sephiroth right behind her.
"You're the daughter of Godo, so I'm afraid I must kill you," he was saying coldly.
Yuffie whimpered. Ayumi shreiked, "Get away from her!" She lunged at him, gripping Eric's sword. Sephiroth dodged, and glared at her as if she was a small bug.
"You'll regret that," he said smoothly.
Ayumi hoisted Yuffie up into her arms, turned around and said softly, "Yuffie-Pie, please do me a favor. Go back to you father's dojo, and I'll meet you there soon. Okay?"
She played with her sleeves, and said, "Promise?"
"I promise," Ayumi replied, smiling. Yuffie nodded, and ran away. Ayumi turned back to Sephiroth. "Now, I'm gonna do what you've done to me."
"Really? What have I done; did I kill your family?"
"It's the Shinra's fault! Because of you, my brother had to join Soldier!"
"I don't really care." Sephiroth ran to Ayumi, and nearly sliced her in half with his Masamune. She dodged, and casted Leviathan. It managed to knock his life down a bit, but not much.
Eric watched from the ground, praying that Ayumi wouldn't die. He heard the click of a gun, and turned around. A strange man was behind him, pointing a gun at his head. "What..?"
"I'll let you live if you help me with an experiment," the man rasped.
"Uhm.... what?"
"Make sure my son survives."
"Who's that?"
"Sephiroth...."
Eric stumbled back a few steps in surprise. "He's your....!"
"I need you do something for me to make sure he lives...."
Ayumi winced as Sephiroth slashed her arm, making blood flow freely. She felt her limit gauge hit her maximum, and she used Doom of the Living.
Sephiroth leaned down weakly. "How... how could a mere child defeat me!? No!!"
Ayumi raised her Conformer, getting ready to deliver the final blow to end Wutai's suffering and weaken Shinra's reign. A gunshot made her freeze, and slowly turn her head around. Eric was standing at the end of the arm, aiming a gun at her. "Eric!? What... are you with Shinra or Wutai!? Make up your mind!"
"I'm sorry Ayumi. But I have to.... if I want to live." He aimed the gun again, straight at her.
"You'll... sacrifice me for your own life?!" She turned her back to Sephiroth. "But Eric! What about Yuffie!?"
"You'll've died by a gunshot from an unknown source. But don't worry, you'll be fine soon." Eric pulled back the trigger. "I'm sorry, Yumi." He fired.
"After that I took you're body back to Hojo, who was doing a joint project with Odine. I turned your weapon over to the Shinra, and, fourteen years later, Yuffie got it," Eric finished.
"You lied to me. You lied to Wutai!" Yuffie screeched.
Wyona frowned. "So. Then... I'm your sister?" He nodded. "What happened to Ayumi's body?"
"Hojo used it to house a Weapon, Emerald Weapon, you. But in the process you had, well, degraded back to a baby. Now, you're 15 years old, and know the truth."
Yuffie gasped. "So, Yumi is Emerald Weapon!? And Seryl's Sapphire Weapon!"
Nod. "I practically raised them. I'm more like a father than a brother."
"You wish."
"I am in control of you, Wyona. I can make you do whatever I want you to do."
"Good for you," Wyona replied sarcastically. She raised a finger, and the control burst. Seryl stood up, shaking his head.
Hojo entered the room at that moment from a narrow hall. "Now, after that lovely tale, it's time to ressurect the Jenova."
Wowee, 2 chapters in 1 day! I don't feel so sick anymore.... ^.^ Well, this story's just about over. A possible sequel's in the works, but I don't think I'll continue it. Anyway.... bye.
"Yumi!" They looked up. Yuffie stood in the doorway. "What are you doing! Why do you need the Jenova cells?"
