Cloud and the others were resting at Costa Del Sol for their three year aniversary after defeating Sephiroth and saving the world from Meteor. "Party at the beach." Yuffie yelled as she ran out to the beach. "She does this every !@#$ day." Cid complained. "She's still a teen for another year. Then she should grow up some." Tifa said from the newly added porch swing. "I'll keep an eye on her." Vincent said. After the day they saved the world, the members of Avelanche went through some changes. Vincent now wore his Turks uniform instead of his cape, Tifa and Could had finally gotten married and had a daughter named Aeris after the late Ancient. Nanaki hadn't changed much, and Reeve got rid of the Cait Sith robot and stayed with Barret at Kalm. Barret had gotten rid of his gun-arm and got another prosthetic hand. Yuffie was now 19 and got rid of the armor for a tank top and shorts after finishing her ninja training. Marlene was staying at Kalm with Elmyra and started her schooling.
Vincent followed Yuffie all the way down to the beach where she sat her towel down by a chair and ran off into the water. "Don't swim out to far." Vincent called after her. Yuffie just rolled her eyes and dove under water. Vincent sat down in the chair and opened a book he brought. 'She didn't listen.' Vincent thought to himself and found his place from the last time he read the book. Back at the Villa, Tifa was making breakfast for everyone and Cloud was practicing with his old Buster Sword he left in the house. Barret was asleep on the couch inside and Cid was tweaking up the Tiny Bronco. Reeve was watching the T.V. and Nanaki was laying down beside the recliner. Vincent had fallen asleep at the chair, when suddenly he was woken up by the sound of paniced screaming. "Vincent looked up to see a Bottomswell hovering above the water and spittin streams of water at the people on the beach. Vincent pulled his gun out and called for anyone listning on his PHS. Cloud and Cid arrived a minute later in time to see Vincent cast Cure 3 on himself and then refreshed his Mbarrier. "What took you so long?" Vincent asked and fired another shot at the monster. The monster dodged the shot and countered with a beam of water. "Didn't I already kill this thing?" Cloud asked. "How should I know? I wasn't there." Cid said and fired Mantra Magic. "I'll just cast Bolt 3 and end this." Could said and got ready to cast the spell. "No don't," Vincent warned," Yuffie is still in the water. If you use lightning, You'll fry her." "Damn." Cloud said just befre gettin hit by a stream of water. Cloud stood back up and ran over to Cid and Vincent with a smile forming on his face. "Don't tell me the blast knocked your brain loose." Cid said. "No, just made me Limit Break." Cloud said. "Oh then by all means, end this fight." Cid said and stepped back. The ground flared areound Cloud for a while before he picked the Buster Sword above his head and brought it down while launching a Blade Beam. The creseant beam hit the Bottomswell and split it in half. None of them had any idea about a figure that watched them in the darkness. "So they are the ones who defeated Sephiroth." The figure said and ran back to his Gold Chocobo.
The man rode all the way to a castle hidden in Mt. Nibel. Inside he walked to the center chamber where a man in a king's robe and a long beard waited for him. "What do you have to report." The man on the throne asked. "The people who killed Sephiroth are at Costa Del Sol. They defeated the bottomswell as easily as you predicted your highness." The spy reported. "Excelent. Things are going just as planned." The king said. "How goes the other 'project?'" The king asked. "The subject is almost done. although it was hard to find some of Jenova's cells to use. But we found some in the Shin-ra labs." The spy reported. "Very well. You are dismissed. And tell the scientist to release the test subject." The king said. The spy bowed and left the room. "Soon Avelanche will be done for and I shall have no one stand in my way to rule the world."
