Oh God, she thought, he's coming for me. He's coming to stop me. I know it. I've got to run. I've got to beat him there...
She ran fast. As fast as she could go, and then some. She ran down the middle road of the city. Then through a small blue cave area. She came to a shell building and went inside. This was the place. She ran down the small steps, it looked like an underwater area. She reached the bottom of the staircase and ran through the 'streets.' Then she reached some stepping-stone pillars. She jumped up them, ran up the five stairs, dropped to her knees and prayed.
She prayed with all her might.
Oh ancestors, I feel you all around me. You're here with me, aren't you? Please give me the power, the strength to summon Holy. I must. I must protect the planet from Sephiroth and Meteor.
Her body felt numb. She could feel the power of Holy being awakened. She could feel the presence of her ancestors trying to help her.
Please, Gods that protect this planet, hear my prayer. We cannot let this planet suffer and die at the hands of evil. This is my prayer.
She could feel the powers of the Gods trying to help her. Something was stopping them from reaching her. Something powerful, and evil.
It's Sephiroth, isn't it? You can't reach me because of him. Cloud will stop him. Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Red XIII, Vincent, Cid, Cait Sith, Yuffie, everyone will stop him. They will beat him. Then we can use the full power of Holy.
My child, you know you shall die before Holy can truly destroy this evil, yes?
Oh, Planet. It's you. Yes, I know that.
Your Cloud is coming for you.
I know, I have a plan.
Very well, I will see you in the Lifestream.
Planet, will I be able to watch Cloud and the others from the Lifestream?
Yes my child, I will allow you to do this. For you are doing me a great favour.
Thank you...
Aeris could feel the Planet leaving her thoughts. She could also feel Cloud coming. He was with Tifa and Red XIII. She knew what had to be done. Cloud would come up to the altar. Then she would set her plan in motion.
Cloud began to jump up the pillars. Once her ran up the steps Aeris acted. Eyes still closed, she reached out her consciousness and took control of Cloud's.
First she made him draw his sword. Then she made him step up in front of her. Next she made him raise his sword behind his head. Finally she would make him bring it down. Cloud swung the sword down towards her head. Then Aeris felt it. Sephiroth was above them. He could do this, it would be better. She let go of Cloud's mind as Tifa and Red shouted at him to stop.
"Huh?" Cloud looked around, he couldn't believe what he almost did. "What are you doing to me?" Aeris didn't know if he was talking to her or not.
Slowly she opened her eyes and smiled at him.
Oh Cloud. I'm so sorry. There's so many things I still want to tell you. Cloud, I love you. This is the only way, I'm so sorry.
She felt Sephiroth come flying down. She braced herself for his attack. Then, she felt the cold metal of his Masamune puncture her stomach and pierce right through her body. She felt dizzy. Very dizzy and very lightheaded. This was it. She felt the Holy materia fall out of her hair and faintly heard it bounce down the altar into the water. She felt Cloud's hand catch her body. She felt him cradle her body. The rocking motion made her sleepy. And she slipped away from the world, while everything went black.
