8.1 Chapter 3

8.2 I'm back



The next month was going to go fast and everyone had almost figured out where Sephiroth would appear, Everybody was getting use to being around each other 24/7. They all started training with each other and occasionally in other places around the world. Aeris hadn't come to Cloud ever since he ran away, although he didn't get much sleep in the first place due to Barrets snoring. Time was nearly up and soon they'd have to leave to expect the unexpected.

It was the day before Sephiroth was due to come. Cloud called ahead to Revee and told him not to expect them any time soon that year, so everybody was packing the highwind with the things to take to their destination. It wasn't long until they were all geared up and ready to kick some butt!! Later that evening they arrived at there destination in Mideel.

The city was left how it was since the lifestream had gushed up from below, although there were now little hut type things made out of simple materials surrounding the crater filled with the murky blue, green liquid. The only building that had been rebuilt due to health needs was the hospital. The group walked into the city and were able to take shelter and stay in the hospital, they told no one why their journey brought then there because they didn't want people to worry…considering they weren't even sure that he would appear there or somewhere else. They all went to sleep early with the intention of rising early to keep watch through out the whole day.



****In the Morning****

They all woke bright and early not wanting to go outside in case he was already there, but he wasn't. Cloud was the first awake and decided to go check out everything, seeing last night when the got in it was dark so they couldn't see too much of their surroundings. After Cloud went back inside and got everyone up, they ate then assembled outside.

They were all just sitting around for most the day, it wasn't until night that anything happened. Cloud and Tifa and everyone else were all standing around different parts of the lifestream when something began to emerge.

A green orb was coming out, It floated high in the sky and then started to take the shape of someone…….It was Sephiroth. What Aeris had said really was coming true, everyone was standing up at the sky until the figure changed from an aqua green into black, cream and silver.

"Sephiroth" Cloud said in a low hush. Nobody else could say anything they were still in shock.

With that tiny little whisper the eyes from this figure opened, revealing 2 perfect green orbs. They scanned the surroundings they caught sight of an old 'friend'. "So they know I'm here……..I see Cetra you are smarter than you look" Sephiroth said, more to himself than to anyone else. With that he disappeared.

Everyone was in disbelief about what had happened. Cid was the first to speak, smoke dropping from his mouth at the same time. "Fucken hell, It's bad enough that they brought him back but they gave him his powers back as well…..we're fucked."

"I know……I know but where would he go?…..Hurry and get to the highwind!!!! Cloud yelled to his comrades.

Everyone got ready as quick as they could and were on the highwind and in the air in a matter of minutes.

"So Cloud….where we actually going?" Cid commented not knowing where he was going to fly.

"I don't know…….My plan is we go back to Nibelheim and get some rest….surely he cant do anything by morning and plus we have no idea where he left to go…..We need a plan."

"Okay move out everybody….hurry, hurry, hurry" Cid shouted at his pilots.

It didn't take long for them to reach Nibelheim, Once inside they had dinner and gathered to make a plan. Yuffie started "So….Where do you think he went?"

Reds turn was next "I don't think he would have gone somewhere with a lot of people…he doesn't want to be found out….yet"

"So that rules out main cities" Cloud was frustrated about this "What about the Northern Crater….Temple of Ancients, or what's left of it……….City of Ancients……Midgar. Not many people live there anymore since it was destroyed."

That was the verdict…it would have to be one of those places….they would start of at Midgar and continue from there.



****Meanwhile****

Sephiroth was already there…….thinking….thinking about what to do next, seeing as he was discovered…"surely they'd be after me tomorrow…If not tonight" he had to plan quick…he couldn't remain in the one spot to long. First thing her had to find a way of getting away from everyone and everything. Sephiroth was sitting on the second floor of a small destroyed building in the sector 2 slums. He had to remember all the things Jenova had taught him for he was sure there would be something in that he could use.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that he figured out what to do….he had to work fast.

A/n: hmmmm…..what is our dear Sephy up to? Hehehe….Sorry if that chapter was a little too boring…there wasn't much talking but a few other things. Please Review. It would make me feel so better. I promise that I want take to long getting the next chapter out.
