(Sephiroth and Ameph walks through the portal. They finds themselves in the main room
in the Shinra Mansion and Jenova was no where to be found)

Sephiroth:Damn....she got away. Well, since she's after you and not me

Ameph:Yeah...Lucky you. If she comes, I guess we beat her up again

Sephiroth:We? Who is we?

Ameph:Me and you...who else?

Sephiroth:When was I going to help you...it's bad enough that you are here in this
dimension

Ameph:You want me to turn evil and "Rule the planets?"

Sephiroth:Fine...I see your point...

Ameph:So, where are we? Looks like a haunted house...maybe Dracula lives here.

Sephiroth:...*Why did I take him here? There is nothing here*

Ameph:Aren't we going to your house?

Sephiroth:...I don't have a house

Ameph:Ohh...then I hope Reality One doesn't mind if we take this one

Sephiroth:But...

Ameph:This place looks like World War 3, 4 and 5...

Sephiroth:This place...

Ameph:Let's get this place back in order...

Sephiroth:Oh fine...*This place is going to need to keep me in the shadows*

Ameph:Let's check it out(He walks into the kitchen and finds a whole bookcase against
the door)Hey, Sephy! How ya get rid of this bookcase?

Sephiroth:I don't care!(Sephiroth walks upstairs to find the bedroom a total mess. Books,
dirt, dust and other objects litered the floor)This place is a dump!(a loud sound comes
from downstairs. Sephiroth rushes to the source and finds that Ameph knocked down a
wall with the bookcase)

Ameph:Decorating would of been nice

Sephiroth:What did you do?

Ameph:Nothing. I just lifted the bookcase...(walks into the kitchen)Nice place...At least
we got someone to cook

Sephiroth:I am not cooking!

Ameph:So?(he takes out a Pokeball out of his pocket and tosses it onto the floor. A large
4 armed humaniod creature appears)...Suey will

Sephiroth:What the hell is that?!

Ameph:She's a Machamp. Her name's Suey and she can cook seriously well(the
Machamp pulls an apron out of thin air and puts it on)

Sephiroth:We don't have any food...

Ameph:So? I'll go get some

(Down the street from the Shinra Mansion. Sephiroth's rival, Cloud Strife watches the
TV with his wife, Tifa Strife. They are watching Ranma 1/2 when the door rings. Cloud
gets up to answer it. It was Ameph)

Ameph:Yo, man. Me and my*at least I think*bro just moved here and I like to know
where the food shop was

Cloud:It's the big house next to the inn

Ameph:Thanks, mac! Oh...I haven't introduced myself...Name's Ameph Kavos, Martial
artist and Trainee Ninja...and yours?

Cloud:Cloud Strife...which house do you live?

Ameph:The big haunted one...if you feel like it, (Dracula accent)Enter my domain to have
dinner with us. Later!!(he leaves)

Cloud:Someone moved into the Shinra Mansion?(he walks back to Tifa)

Tifa:Who was it?

Cloud:Some kid...we invited us for dinner...honestly, someone in the Shinra Mansion is
gotta be a complete looney

Tifa:They shouldn't be that bad

Cloud:He said he was a Trainne Ninja

Tifa:He must be from Wutai then...Maybe Yuffie knows him. What's his name?

Cloud:Ameph Kavos

Tifa:Why don't we go?

Cloud:Oh fine...just because he and his family are new...

(The Shinra Mansion. Ameph walks backs in with a couple of bags of food. He snickers
as he jumps onto a wall above the door leading to the kitchen and punches his hand into it,
making a hole in it and he hangs off it)

Ameph:Sephiroth!!! Help!! It's Jenova!!(Sephiroth grabs his sword and runs out of the
kitchen. Ameph drops from the wall and lands on Sephiroth's back)SNEAK
ATTACK!!!(Sephiroth throws Ameph to the floor and puts his sword at his neck)

Sephiroth:What are you doing?!

Ameph:Scaring the shit outta ya

Sephiroth:I thought you were really under attack!

Ameph:You really think I would do that bad against a loser like Jenova? Puh-lease(hands
Sephiroth the food)Oh yeah...some people down the street might be coming over tonight
for dinner

Sephiroth:Great...Just what I need...humans

Ameph:You need to work on your people skills(he walks to see Suey cooking rice and
shrimp together)Chinese?

Suey:Grouwg

Ameph:....Okay(he puts the food on the ground)We got company tonight. Could you
make a little more food?

Suey:Growg!!(nods)

Ameph:Good...I'll be doing my usual. You can join if you can finish

Suey:(nods)Groawg!!

(Later. Cloud and Tifa knock on the door of the Shinra Mansion. The door opens and a
large mutated kangaroo answers it. Cloud is starled and draws his Buster Sword)

Cloud:What is that?!

Akira:Kronga!

Tifa:It's not threatening us

Akira:Kronga!!(Ameph walks up)

Ameph:I see you people are here. Sorry if Akira starled you*What's he doing with a
sword?*Put your blade away, man! Come in!(Cloud and Tifa walk into the house)

Cloud:This place looks a bit better...since the last time I was here(They sit down at a
dinner room table. A loud noise is heard from the kitchen)

Ameph:Uh oh...Sounds like trouble(he jumps onto the table and runs to the kitchen. He
sees Sephiroth and Suey arguing)Whatya doing, Sephy?

Sephiroth:I still don't think that this creature can cook us dinner

Ameph:She cooked for me lots of time

Suey:Grrrrr

Ameph:Just let her serve us...then tell me what ya think. Our guest people are sitting at
the table

Sephiroth:Fine...(he walks into the dining room. A loud scream is heard)

Ameph:Continue to cook, Suey...(he runs to the dining room where Sephiroth and Cloud
are staring at each other with swords draw. Tifa just stares at Sephiroth)

Sephiroth:You...

Cloud:You...

Tifa:How....how can he be alive?!

Ameph:I'm sense hostility in here...

Sephiroth:You bastard...this is Cloud...he tried to kill me

Cloud:and I will, Sephiroth...soon, you will be stopped! and I can avenge Aeris' death!

Sephiroth:That was Jenova! I was innocent!

Tifa:What do we do?!

Cloud:Just leave it to me, Tifa...(he jumps onto the table and at Sephiroth. Sephiroth
jumps back from Cloud and lunges forward, slashing Cloud. Cloud swings his sword at
Sephiroth and manages to slash his side. Before anyone could move after that, Ameph
bodyslams Cloud away from Sephiroth)

Ameph:Hey! No fightin in the house!

Cloud:You idiot! Don't you know who that is?!

Ameph:Sephy

Cloud:Yes! And he nearly destroyed this world and Killed the Planet!

Sephiroth:That's old news!

Cloud:Lair!

Ameph:Well, I do not like you so I'll kill you

Sephiroth:No, Ameph...Cloud's mine...(looks at Tifa)You can have her. I hear she's a
martial artist trained in Zagen-Fu(is that right?)

Ameph:Hey! Just what I want!(he jumps onto the table and it collaspes. Cloud and
Sephiroth's swords clash together. Cloud charges up his materia and fires a large fireball
at Sephiroth. Sephiroth puts up a MBarrier to deflect it. Cloud lunges forward and jumps
high for a Braver. Sephiroth blocks the Braver as it comes down as he fires a Bolt3 at
Cloud, knocking him across the room. Cloud gets up as Sephiroth jumps high into the air
to the ceilling and comes down at Cloud with his own variation of the Braver. Cloud rolls
out of the way as Sephiroth creates a new door in the wall. CLoud stabs with his sword at
Sephiroth and stabs him in the stomach. Sephiroth grabs his chest but fires a Ice3 spell at
Cloud. Cloud get hits by it and falls into the kitchen. Suey looks at Cloud and grabs him
and his sword and throws him out the window. Sephiroth runs in to find Cloud looking at
him angrily throw the broken window)

Cloud:I will kill you!!

Sephiroth:That's kinda hard, weakling...I suggest you leave for home before I am forced
to rip your head off your shoulders!(Cloud growls and leaves for the moment. Sephiroth
looks at Suey)...I didn't ask for your help

Suey:GRRRR!!!!(threatens Sephiroth with an iron pan)

Sephiroth:Fine, fine, fine...I wonder of Ameph is holding off...

(Back in the dining room. A few minutes ago when Sephiroth and Cloud were fighting.
Ameph was up against Tifa)

Tifa:Who are you?! Why are you with Sephiroth?

Ameph:Cuz he's my brother, dat's why

Tifa:y....You're related to Sephiroth?

Ameph:That's what it has come to...Now...who are you?

Tifa:I'm Tifa Strife. and by my husband! I will kill you just like Cloud is doing to
Sephiroth

Ameph:Okay...Kill me. Hit me HARD!

Tifa:With pleasure!(she runs at Ameph and hits him in the face and then the stomach and
uppercuts him. AMeph falls back but when he hits the ground, he rolls back to his
feet)What?

Ameph:My turn!(Ameph jumps forward and kicks Tifa in the left leg. He lands on his
back and jumps forward on his hands to knock Tifa off balance and land on her. He jumps
off and reaches into his pocket)

Tifa:Is that all? Little man?!(she jumps up)Now, I am angry!(she forms of ball of chi and
fires it at Ameph. Ameph dodges to the right as Tifa fires another ball of chi. This one
hits Ameph. As he falls, he quickly takes a small lit bomb out of his pocket and sends it
flying at Tifa. TIfa doesn't see it past her shoulder and it explodes, she rolls from the
explosion)

Ameph:If Sephiroth can do it, so can I!!! YEARRRGHH!!!!!(He shows a large battle aura
as he prepares to fire a fireball at Tifa. He aims his hands at Tifa but all that comes out are
embers)Wah!?

Tifa:Seems like you can't use magic without materia! Like me!(She fires a real Fire3 at
Ameph. Ameph looks at it stunned. Before he gets hit, Sephiroth grabs him as the chair
behind Ameph turns to ashes)

Sephiroth:Are you losing to her?!

Ameph:I had eveything under control, Sephy!

Sephiroth:Yeah right! I see you want to use magic. Humans need the aid of materia be we
don't

Ameph:Why is that?

Sephiroth:I dunno...something Hojo wrote about energy that flows freely through our
bodies and not to Humans

Ameph:I see

Tifa:Hey! I was figfhting you, little man!!

Ameph:Let me take out the trash!(he tosses another bomb at Tifa. TIfa runs from the
bomb as Ameph continues to take out bombs. Tifa stares and runs out of the house.
Ameph puts the bombs back into his pocket)

Sephiroth:What's with the bombs?

Ameph:Half Ninja/Half Team Rocket...Koga taugh my how to store lit bombs in your
pocket and they'll never go off. Lots of Team Rocket people used these kind of bombs

Sephiroth:You still need to learn about magic and stuff....don't worry, everyone is good at
some elements and others. I perfer stuff like Fire

Ameph:Aww....you mean I need to find my element or center

Sephiroth:....ummm....yeah

Ameph:And let the Force be with you?

Sephiroth:Shut up!....Great...more work on the house.

Ameph:Last time we have company over...especially psychopaths down the street. Now,
explain to me? Are we Humans?

Sephiroth:No, we are not...Hojo wrote in his books that we are classifed as the Lifa or He
would say Inhuman

Ameph:Whose Hojo?

Sephiroth:He's supposed to be our father. He helped Jenova produce us and he's a insane
sciencist. If you met him, he would probaly want to study your curse

Ameph:(shudders)That's the last thing I want to happen...Tell me when we see this Mad
Doctor Dad

(Meanwhile, Shinra Headquarters is still in ruins but a man sits at a table reading books)

man: That damn failure, Cloud! He ruined everything! No more Sephiroth! No more
Jenova! No more meteor!! I could just kill him if I had the strengh!(Jenova appears
behind him)

Jenova:I am not gone...and so isn't Sephiroth

man:Can it be? Jenova?

Jenova:Yes, Dr. Hojo

Hojo:Where have you been? I was worrying that Wrexsoul would attack me for being a
Lifa!

Jenova:He can't hold your power because I made you a Lifa. Besides. I have a plan that
can get us back on track. Remember, Project JENOVA? I think I know a way to turn
Humans into Lifas and then become my slaves...Wrexsoul won't stand a chance

Hojo:Yes! I can see it now!

Jenova:We'll have to continue our opperations in another Dimension. The same
Dimension where you sent Sephiroth for training. Sephiroth or his brother will never find
us there

Hojo:His brother? You don't mean that failure, Ameph Est?

Jenova:Yes, he's alive...and he has an interesting curse that changes him into a female

Hojo:(his eyes glint)How interesting...

To be continued

Author's note: This story isn't about Cloud or Tifa. It's about Sephiroth, Ameph and
Stephanie. Wrexsoul will be cleared in the next story if you are wondering

Next story: After Hojo's test subject, Weapon X explodes and knocks Ameph out. He
finds himself as Stephanie, 500 years in the past. It was the day when Stephanie was
going to become a Sailor Senshi(hint hint) and also the day before Kantina's destruction
