This fic doesn't have and will never have any Lemon or Yaoi content whatsoever, and no amount of asking will get me to put any in there. Flames will be accepted, but be mild, it's all part of constructive criticism, the more to tell me how and where the story sucks, the better the following chapter will be.

*************************************

"So you want play with fire, well FIRE 3!!" shouted Sephiroth as his attack rushed at Steiner. Steiner only had enough time to blink before he was engulfed by a raging inferno that seemed a bit too strong, even for a firaga, it seemed more like a flare spell.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" screamed Steiner as the fire began to melt his armour and burn his skin. As suddenly as it had begun, it was over with, Steiner on the ground unconscious.

"What the hell was that!" thought Beatrix, "He took Steiner out with that weird fire spell in just one casting!"

Everyone in the room was wondering the same thing, 'What the hell had just happened!'

"I know Steiner had his guard down and he's a bit out of practice, but I've seen him take a full flare spell from Vivi when he was training" thought Beatrix.

She looked at Sephiroth who was still bristling with rage and felt scared, "He could be as strong as Kuja or even…stronger." Thought Beatrix

*************************************

Sephiroth felt better after nearly burning Steiner to a crisp and looked from Steiner's prone body to a bunch of half shocked half angry faces staring at him.

"Uh oh." Thought Sephiroth as he realized that everyone in the room was reaching for their weapons and their face were become less shocked and more pissed by the minute.

Sephiroth rested his hand on the hilt of the Masamune and everyone in the room stepped back and drew their weapons, only Beatrix didn't move since she was staring at Steiner. She turned and looked at Sephiroth and the look on her face was of someone who had just realized that he had almost fallen off of a cliff.

"Who are you?" Beatrix said, she almost sounded scared.

"I told you already" Sephiroth said, smirking, "I'm Sephiroth"

"And your dead!" screamed Amarant, "I don't care if he claims not to be Kuja, he's still dangerous!"

Amarant rushed at Sephiroth who just stood there and made a mighty swing…and hit air. Amarant turned just in time to see Sephiroth's fist up close and personal. It stopped centimetres in front of his face and the air that it had displaced blew his hair slightly.

"What was that!" thought Amarant, "How could he have dodged me at such close range!"

He heard Sephiroth chuckle and say, "A bit slow aren't we, maybe you need to train harder."

If there was one thing that Amarant had prided himself with, it was the fact that he was one of the best fighters in the world especially in hand-to-hand combat. As you can guess, he was really pissed off at that statement.

"WHAT!!!" Amarant shouted, "Why you silver haired son of a bitch, you're going to die!!"

Everyone was surprised at Amarant's behaviour, he never said this much at one time, let alone shouted, this guy must really get under his skin. Then again, they never really insulted his fighting skills.

Amarant turned around in a rage and rushed at Sephiroth. Sephiroth dodged left to avoid a punch and had to backflip over Amarant's foot. Sephiroth landed in his fighting stance and waited for Amarant to make a move. Amarant immediately attacked Sephiroth and delivered a vicious uppercut, which Sephiroth blocked, and Sephiroth retaliated with a punch that sent Amarant flying across the room till he came to a stop at his friends' feet.

He got up and wiped some blood off his face and prepared to attack again.

"STOP!" came a cry.

Everyone turned around and Sephiroth gasped. Aeris was awake and she actually pulled off having a pissed off look on her gentle, serene face.

*************************************

Aeris was in fact pissed off very much, she had just awoken and Sephiroth was already putting their mission in jeopardy.

"What's wrong with you Sephiroth!!" shouted Aeris, "We just arrived and already you get into a fight!!"

Sephiroth remembered that had the Cetra had said that Aeris could have him returned to his eternal torture if she saw fit and therefore he remained decidedly silent. Aeris turned to everyone in the room and began to apologise for Sephiroth's actions.

"How can you hope to apologise for this!!" shouted Amarant, "He wiped out a bunch of soldiers and one of our best friends!"

Amarant began to advance on Aeris but decided against it as Sephiroth gave him a dangerous look and tightened his grip on the Masamune.

Everyone was agreeing with Amarant and then Freya said, "Let's put them in the castle dungeon until we decide what to do with them."

Everyone agreed and started to advance on Sephiroth. He drew the Masamune and prepared to fight. Vivi was preparing a blizzaga spell while Beatrix cast a cure spell on Steiner. They were all prepared to attack Sephiroth when a green aura surrounded him.

Sephiroth, unknown to them, was preparing to cast a weak Ultima spell to disable them. Everyone prepared to attack when a voice rang out.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!!"

Everyone turned to the guy in the throne and Sephiroth heard Amarant mutter, "Who died and made him king."

"For your information Amarant, I'm no king yet, but I have to as, ass, assume the duties of king" said the guy.

"Some king" muttered Amarant, "Can't even pronounce assume properly" 

Sephiroth watched the exchange occur and began to wonder if these guys were morons.

"Aaaa shaddap Amarant" the guy said, he turned to Aeris, "Now may I ask your name lady?"

"Oh, my name is Aeris!" said Aeris, "What's yours?"

"My name?" the guy said, "My name is Zidane."
