Cloud: Neo-Jenova......Jesus...
Cloud stands up and realizes the Bahamut has abandoned him. He had no MP left, and had none since Tifa was attacked, so his own materia was useless.
Cloud: Shit.....I'll just have to camp here until morning....*takes some heavy blankets out of his backpack, and slowly falls asleep on the cold, hard stone*

Neo-Jenova: Cloud......My puppet....
Cloud opens his eyes, and is laying on an invisible floor in complete darkness. Neo-Jenova if nowhere to be found.
Cloud: *stands up* What? What do you want from me??
Neo-Jenova: You can't handle the answer.....
Cloud: *looks around* Tell me!!
Red blood starts leaking down the walls of the seemingly endless blackness.
Neo-Jenova: You destroyed me......and now I will take everything from you that you hold dear!!!
Cloud: No! I won't let you do this!
Neo-Jenova: Its too late! You had your chance to join me, but you didn't cooperate. Now its my turn you turn your life upside-down! *reveals herself to Cloud*
Cloud: *stares at Neo-Jenova* Oh, God.....No! NO!! *drops on his knees*
Cloud breaks down at the sight of Neo-Jenova, right before waking up with a jolt.

He couldn't believe what she...or it rather, it looked like....He couldn't be sure that its not all an illusion, but by now, he knew to trust every instinct.
Cloud: *stands up, and summons Pheonix, and commands him to take him back to Nibelheim* (I have to get back there before Neo-Jenova does.....)

~*1 Hour later, when Cloud is 25 feet over Nibelheim.....*~

Cloud notices some green dust on his shirt......and that one of his materia slots in empty....
Cloud: Dammit!!!
One of Cloud's materia explodes, and he falls into the town square.
Cloud: AHHHH!!!
Cloud hits the ground, and moans in pain as he rolls onto his side.
Cloud: *notices cuts his arms, and little pieces of glass stuck in them* Materia....It's exploding all over town.
????: #$@$@$#@%!!!!!!!!!
Cloud pulls himself up and walks into his house, where the yelling came from.
Yuffie sits in the corner, shaking, with one hand over an eye.
Cloud: Yuffie? Are you alright?
Yuffie: No! Don't come near me! *cowers*
Cloud: *reaches his hand over to Yuffie, who bats it away, but not long enough for her to cover up the blood*
Yuffie: The...m-materia....I was examining it with an eye mangifying glass, and it...it...*starts to sob* The glass protected one eye...but..but..m-my other...*cries uncontrollably, while blood leaks around her hand, which covers the wound*
Cloud: *lifts the crying Yuffie in his arms, carries her onto the couch, and bandages her up* Where is everyone else?
Yuffie: They went out into Mt. Nibel.
Cloud: Why would they go there? No one has been there for years.
Yuffie: Its Aeris, Cloud....
Cloud: Whats wrong with her?
Yuffie: Cloud....
Cloud: What???
Yuffie: Oh, Cloud....She's gone insane...*grabs Cloud, and cries on his shoulder*
