1 Unfinished Business
Chapter 5
Catch me if you can
With all eight plants collected, Sephiroth could go back to Midgar and complete his plans.
****In Midgar****
"I'd say we give up now" commented Cloud, as they spent the whole day in search of Sephiroth and found no evidence of him even being there.
"Oh gawd!! My feet are so sore!!" came a voice from a very tired and peeved Yuffie.
"Shouldn't have been kicking rocks around then" Cloud said, a smile appearing on his face and a laugh escaping his lips.
"Hey I never asked to go along with this"
"But you never refused either"
Yuffie by this stage was no very peeved at Cloud for making comments about everything she said.
Within an hour they were all assembled again and ready to go home for the day and to start a new search elsewhere tomorrow.
Sephiroth was just entering Midgar when he saw the highwind take off.
"The time shall be soon when we will meet again" whispered Sephiroth just loud enough for himself to hear. He smirked then continued walking into Midgar.
****Shinra Mansion****
"Thanks Tiff, you really are a good cook, better then Shera" remarked Cid with a smile on his face, which earned a glare from Tifa and the smile disappeared.
"So tomorrow we shall search the City of Ancients and the Northern Crater" Red XIII said making sure he got the instructions right and just saying that for those who weren't paying any attention.
"Yeah Red, yer hearing gone bad with age" Cid laughed, Red growled.
Vincent broke the silence "We better get some sleep, another big day ahead of ourselves tomorrow.
****Back in Midgar****
Sephiroth had settled down, back in the half destroyed house. He layed all the plants that he had collected out in from of him, as well as Masamune, all nicely clean and shiny. He sat down infront of them and placed a ruby with them as well. One by one he took the plants and placed it in a small, clay mixing bowl making it into and oil like paste. As he done this he chanted words not even loud enough for himself to hear, but he knew what he was saying.
He came to the last one and placed it in slowly, still chanting things. By now the plants were of an oil mushy type substance and could easily be poured. Sephiroth placed the stone into the mixture and left it to sit there for a bit.
****A bit Later****
Sephiroth took the stone out and gazed into it longingly, seeing the dull light of the moon rebound of this little crystal and onto the walls, truly stunning.
Sephiroth then picked up his sword and turned it so the handle base was facing him, slowly he placed the stone in a hole, which he had already put there. It actually went in with quite ease, almost as if Masamune were willing it.
After Sephiroth had completed this he laid Masamune down again and poured the rest of the herb mixture over it, going slowly but being sparingly with it. Then he wiped if off and place his sword back in it'' sheath.
Tomorrow he would visit Cloud in Nibelheim……the place of so many memories.
****In the Morning****
It was early morning and Sephiroth was already up and heading for Nibelheim, with the biggest smirk on his face that he has ever had. Only because of what he was about to achieve.
****In the Mansion****
Cloud woke up to the smell of smoke, he thought it might be Tifa already up and making breakfast. He walked down to the kitchen and nobody was around. It then hit him that it was coming from out side.
Cloud ran out by himself, no weapon, no materia, not prepared for anything.
"Nooooo!!" Cloud screamed "This can't be real….this CANT happen again!!"
An evil laugh came from nowhere and then a figure made it's self visible right infront of Clouds line of vision
"You!!" Cloud yelled, edging forward though he knew he couldn't take him on with no weapon.
"Whats wrong Cloud?…..I thought you would be happy to see me after your long search yesterday……" Sephiroth laughed madly "I'm so sorry I cannot stay and watch this unfold…..Lifestream shall be after me soon" with that Sephiroth raised Masamune and the stone shone, he swayed it around chanting a few words, Cloud could only make it out as mumbles.
After he had said the last word a portal appeared in the sky infront of him "Catch me if you can" were his last words.
Cloud stood there in awe as both Sephiroth and the portal disappeared right in front of his eyes. The rest of the group was now running out after they heard Cloud scream, they at least were prepared.
Tifa collapsed to the ground as she saw her dear Nibelhiem in flames once again. Vincent snapped into the leader role and started ordering people around in hope that they could still save their town.
****Somewhere in the lifestream****
Aeris eyes snapped wide open, she could no longer sense Sephiroths presence anywhere, but could sense the fire from the last place he was. Her thoughts went mad and she couldn't stop thinking.
She then stood up and concentrated only to get the reply of,
"Dear Aeris, go my child, go and bring him back, you are now needed more there then you are here"
Aeris thanked lifestream and once again took her place in the world, she was now at the City of Ancients, once where her bodied had lied.
