"What do you mean?" Lina's voice betrayed her fight against her
emotions.
"Very simple my dear. You are Aeris." He laughs. "But then again you are not." Gast taps his forehead with his index finger. "Lina, or Aeris, whichever! You are the lets say, emotional, if not personality representation of Aeris. While Aeris over here." He points to the woman he claims is Aeris. "Is more of just a physical representation of my late daughter."
"Are you trying to tell us you made her?" Cloud's eyes flicker with unshed tears. "Are you saying that your own daughter didn't mean anything to you? Toying with your own daughter's soul?" Cloud's arm swipes the air with a clenched fist.
Lina slowly dropped to her knees. She didn't know what to do. How could she?
"Well you might find this Aeris more deadly than the first. Especially the fact that she is the emotional representation of your mortal enemy." Gast looks over to Aeris, then Lina. "Now my daughter, join me in defeating these fools!"
Aeris nods, as she unsheathes a sword. The past Aeris used a staff, but this one uses a sword.
"You could never replace her!" Cloud looked down and kneeled before Lina. "Lina."
Lina looked into his eyes. She watched as he extended his hand to her.
"No matter what, you're just Lina to me. Your looks are your own." He smiles warmly to her.
Lina looks past Cloud to see Tifa nodding with a sympathetic smile. "Gast!" She slowly stands up with the help of Cloud's hand. "I will prove to you that I am my own living person. Whether I'm made or not, it does not affect me. You have no control over me."
Gast sighs. "Well then, what an unexpected situation this is." He paces slowly. "I hypothesized that you would join me, but apparently that is false." He stops and looks Aeris. "Well then. It is just you and me. Enough to stop them though." Gast turns to Cloud.
"Enough Gast!" Vincent yells, and everyone looks at him in surprise. "Let's end this now. I am sick of Hojo, I am sick of you, and I am sick of these experiments. Who do you believe you are?" Suddenly and aura of smoke appears around Vincent. "I will show you the power of what you can not control!" Suddenly Vincent begins to scream in anguish, as his body begins to undertake another form. Wings begin to spread form his back. "NOW YOU WILL SEE TRUE CHAOS!!!" Vincent spreads his arms wide, and takes his ultimate form.
"Well then, perhaps Hojo was better than I thought." Gast smirked at the devil creature. "Attack me, your nothing but a failed experiment."
Chaos breathing can be seen from out his nose. As his chest expands in and out, Chaos slowly raises one arm in the air. With a flap of his wings, he dashed flying to Gast.
Gast jumps over and lands on Chaos's back. "This simple?" Gast raises his axe and swings down furiously, but before he strikes, Chaos elbows Gast off of it. Gast falls down to the hard ground rolling in all directions.
Chaos makes a pass around a tent, and swoops in for an attack.
"Let's go!" Cloud yelled as he started to dash to the fight. Suddenly a sword came in his way. Cloud turned to see Aeris.
Aeris smiled evilly to him. "Hi Cloud. I have missed you so much." With that she swiped at his head with her sword. The sword is a smaller representation of Sephiroth's masamune.
Cloud ducks under, and rolls back away from her. "Aeris. It's me! Cloud!" Cloud's eyes innocently showing his care for Aeris.
"Yes Cloud, I remember you. I remember everything." She lowers her sword. Aeris slowly walked to Cloud. "I remember." She narrows her eyes. "Sephiroth. He- he killed me." She showed a process of thought occurring in her head.
Cloud smiles to Aeris, "Then you remember?" He stands up.
"Of course." She smirks. Suddenly she swings upwards on her sword.
Cloud reacted to move away from it, but felt a singe on his cheek. He placed his hand on the wound, and found blood from it. "Aeris don't fight me, I- I can't fight. You." He looks at her.
Tifa charges Aeris. "Cloud, give it up!"
Aeris turns her face, and a hand, pointing her palm towards Tifa. "Stay down!" Suddenly a shot of energy hit Tifa, knocking her down.
Tifa started to feel sleepy. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Her eyes slowly started to close. Tifa then just dropped all energy in her body, and laid their limp.
"TIFA!" Cloud turned to run at her. When he reached her, he noticed she was asleep. "Aeris stop this."
Cid and Barret charged at Aeris, but before Barret could raise his gun. She fired an energy bolt, that put them both under silence, and they dropped on the ground sleeping.
Reno and Yuffie look at each other.
"What do you think?" Reno asks.
"We run in different directions." Yuffie replies.
They both nod, and charge at Aeris. Aeris ducks under shurikens flying over head, but aimed her palm to Yuffie. The ninja girl leaped in the air ready to strike with her four-point shuriken, but flew back and landed on the ground as Aeris struck her with the same spell.
"You forgot about me!" Reno leaped in the air. As he landed he slammed his club onto her back. He watched as she collapsed to the ground. "You're not so strong are you?"
Aeris laughs, and suddenly disappears.
"What the fuck!" Reno looks around him nervously.
"I'm here!" Aeris said behind him.
Reno attempted to turn around, but as he did, a sword went through his gut. Reno yelled in pain. Reno looked down in horror to see the sword be pulled out from the stab. Reno fell to the ground, blood dripped onto the ground. "You fucking-"He couldn't finish. "You- fuggin bish." Reno passed out from the pain.
Cloud looked at Reno. "Reno?" Cloud paused. "Reno!?" No answer. Cloud stood up. He looked at Lina, and back at Aeris. Anger flowed through his facial expression. "Aeris, I don't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. I will have to kill you." Suddenly his thoughts betray him, Cloud thought about how much he loved Aeris. "NO! Get the fuck out of my head!" Cloud dropped to his knees, nearly sobbing. "I loved you Aeris."
Suddenly Lina eyes widen, she rose from where she sat. "I love you too Cloud."
Cloud looked up at her. Suddenly calmed down, his eyes narrowed at her. "Lina?"
Lina looked over to him and raised her staff. "Cloud, I remember how much I love you now." She turns to Aeris. "This will be finished."
Chaos kicked Gast onto the ground. Chaos then flew over him, and flapped its evil wings furiously. With a roar, Chaos grabbed both arms of Gast, and started to tear him apart.
"NO!" Gast yelled, trying to reach his axe with his foot. The pain was too immense. Gast felt his shoulder pull open.
Chaos with all his might ripped off Gast's right arm. Blood flew everywhere, and Chaos dropped the arm to the ground.
Gast watched in horror, as he looked at what appeared to be a smile. Chaos had a smile. And with that, Chaos began to rip the other arm.
"Nanaki!" a scholar ran up to him. "Your friends are fighting."
Nanaki turned around to look at the young scholar. "What do you mean?"
"I just received word. They tried to contact you, but I assume it didn't reach in time." He looked down, and he slowly raised his eyes back at the creature with the flaming tail.
"Where are they?" Nanaki began to run to his place, he might need to get some important items.
"They are close to Rocket Town."
"That isn't that far away from here, but none the less, I won't make it in time."
Cloud rose again, sword in hand. "This will finish, here, and it well never happen again."
"Very simple my dear. You are Aeris." He laughs. "But then again you are not." Gast taps his forehead with his index finger. "Lina, or Aeris, whichever! You are the lets say, emotional, if not personality representation of Aeris. While Aeris over here." He points to the woman he claims is Aeris.
