It's almost complete. Well, I'd say halfway.

Chapter 41: Planet's Final Judgement

Last thing I saw was Sephiroth screaming in pain but also laughing at it. Then we all saw a giant flash of light.

Cloud: Where are we?

It was hard to tell. Nothing but pink clouds.

Cloud: Where is Holy? What happened to Holy?

???: hahahaha

Cloud: You!

It was Sephiroth again. Only it was Safer Sephiroth. Very dangerous.

Tifa: How many times do we fight him?

Cloud: I'll do it as much as needed!

Aeris: Let's work together! We're sure to win!

Perry: Yeah. Let's give it our all!

Barret: I'm ready to!

Vincent: As am I.

Red XIII: For the planet!

Perry: Let's just wrap this thing up, and go home. All of us.

Sephiroth rose to the air partially and began with a barrier.

Sephiroth: Wall!

Now he's protected from just about everything. Great!

Perry: A wall? Damn! Now he has protection from everything we do!

Vincent: Do not be sure. De-barrier!

He cast de-barrier! Now the wall was gone.

Perry: Nice!

I unleashed Odin again. It hurt Sephiroth but he seemed to like the pain from it.

Cloud: He enjoyed that?

Sephiroth: Pale Horse!

He hit Cait Sith with a blue beam which disabled him from combat.

Sephiroth: One down!

Tifa: You heartless beast!

She hit him with Ice3. Again he liked it.

Yuffie: Tetra Disaster!

Again, after feeling such pain he laughed at the blood he bled.

Sephiroth: The ultimate summon spell! Allow me to tribute you to it! Super Nova!

He rose to the air and vanished. Then the heavens collapsed.

Perry: Everyone heal fast!

We did so.

Cloud: Big Guard!

Cloud put barriers on us and we were prepared for it.

After destroying most of the planets it pulled the sun out of orbit and at us!

Sephiroth: Feel its wrath!

The sun itself struck us and we were engulfed in the supreme light of the cosmos. We were practically dead.

Perry: Can't stand.

I tried but couldn't stand up.

Tifa: I must go on...

She was in the same state.

Perry: Here.

I used an Elixer on her. Then she used one on Cloud. I blacked out.

Cloud: Tifa! It's up to us!

Tifa: Sephiroth! You can't be allowed to continue! Cloud and I will stop this here and now!

She used all her Limit Breaks on him and then Cloud used Finishing Touch. He still remained.

Cloud: Die!

Jumping to Sephiroth's height he stabbed him through his chest.

Tifa: Cloud!

He jumped down and Sephiroth raised his hands and began to disappear.

Cloud: Good bye!

We all appeared back at the entrance to the center of the planet.

Perry: How'd we get here? I thought I was dead.

Cloud: Tifa and I used Cure spells on you all. It took a lot of strength.

Yuffie: Thanks. I've died like three times. I'm not good at life.

Perry: You got me. The best thing you ever did. Hehe

Cid: Whatever you say.

Barret: What about Holy?

Cloud: That's up to the planet to decide. Let's leave all our worries here. Let's go home proud!

As we began to walk away we saw Cloud get pulled into the Lifestream again.

Tifa: Cloud!

"Still here! He's still! He's laughing!"

Perry: Cloud?

I felt odd myself. Then I fell into a trance.

Yuffie: Perry what are you doing?

She tried to stop me but I too jumped into the Lifestream.

I saw Cloud drift away from me. I went elsewhere.

Perry: Where am I now?

???: Deep inside. We must talk.

Perry: Who are you?

???: I am the Planet.

Perry: The planet?

Planet: Yes. I am passing Judgement soon.

Perry: To determine what lives and dies?

Planet: Yes. But you were not originally here.

Perry: You're going to remove me?

Planet: I am not certain.

Perry: But why? I don't want to!

Planet: I'm afraid it has already been decided.

Perry: There must be some way to change it.

Planet: Well maybe somebody you know on the outside can help.

Perry: Outside? I think I understand. So I do have a chance to return.

Planet: Perhaps.

With those words I left and was back in Yuffie's arms.

Yuffie: Are you okay?

Perry: no.

Yuffie: What hurts?

Perry: my heart.

Yuffie: What happened?

Perry: The planet doesn't want me here.

Red XIII: It wants to remove you?

Aeris: Why?

Perry: I don't belong here. But it told me I do have a chance to return.

Yuffie: Don't leave!

She grabbed my waist and held on tight.

Perry: Don't worry. Believe I can return and I will! Promise!

Yuffie: You'd better come back. Or no more love from me!

Perry: Yes ma'am!

Barret: What's gonna happen to this place?

Cid: Lady Luck! Don't fail me now!

Then the Highwind came crashing down into the crater. I don't know how but it did.

Cid: Everyone on!

We scrambled on as the ground shook.

We were carried up by a blue light. Holy!

But the ship was breaking up. We were falling.

Cid: Shit!

Cloud hung onto Tifa as Yuffie clutched my waist still and I hung onto Aeris' hand.

Cid: Goddammit!

He pulled the emergency cord and the ship transformed into a new type. A jet!

Perry: wow. Surprises!

Red XIII: Holy is moving!

We went to Midgar and saw Meteor was already doing its damage.

Cloud: Here it comes!

Holy went into it but it did not help.

Aeris: Planet! Hear me!

She began to float in the air we saw something else.

Tifa: Look.

Barret: What the HELL is that?

Cloud: Lifestream.

It was the Lifestream and it helped Holy! And in a flash Meteor was gone!

We heard cries of joy from the entire world! We all did it!

Cloud: It's done.

Aeris: Planet. Thank you.

Cid: We should land. Fuel is low.

We landed outside Midgar and got out and looked at the stars.

Cloud: We did it everyone! Thank you all for your help!

Barret: Guess AVALANCHE saved the planet after all!

Vincent: ...

Cid: Speak up for once.

I was away from them. I felt myself leaving already. But something else was odd. The Grand Revive materia was glowing. Odd, it was still cracked.

Yuffie: Perry?

Perry: I'm sorry.

I was now a translucent color.

Yuffie: NO!

She ran at me but ran through me.

Perry: I'm sorry everyone! But, I'll come back aga...

I was gone. Back at the government building.

Denzel: You've returned? How?

Perry: Long story! How do I get back?

Denzel: The computers are down. No way to get back.

Perry: I need to get back.

Denzel: Without the computer online we can't.

Perry: Oh dammit!

Then I noticed the Grand Revive in my hand but it repaired the crack it had.

Denzel: Is that materia?

Perry: Yes.

Denzel: Let me analyze it.

Perry: Aren't the computers down?

Denzel: The mainframe computer for the program is down. Military. The other systems are online.

Perry: Get to it!

Denzel: Right away!

He scanned it and found something useful.

Denzel: Incredible! It appears that this materia can send you through reality.

Perry: But I just revived somebody with it.

Denzel: But it had to breach the gap between worlds to do that. World of life and death.

Perry: So it can get me back?

Denzel: yes! But we need to power that machine.

Perry: I got that!

I had a Bolt materia that I never equipped. It was at level 2 but I still kept it. Birthday gift.

Perry: This can produce enough electricity to start the machine.

Denzel: Let's not waste time!

I used Bolt on the equipment and it started up.

Denzel: Let me run it! Now hold the materia. The machine should bond to the materia to complete the process.

Perry: Why help me?

Denzel: I was like you once. Wanted to see another world. I want your dreams to come true.

Perry: Thank you Denzel!

Denze: Good lu...

I was drifting again. When I woke up I was in what looked like Kalm.

Perry: I guess it worked. I'm glad I'm back!

I thought I'd go back again but the Judgement already took place. I cheated the judgement!

Perry: Looks like a party!

I ran to the inn. A party for the defeat of Sephiroth!

Perry: Yuffie! Tifa! Cloud!

I yelled for everyone. Maybe they were here.

Yuffie: Why did he have to leave?

She was sobbing at the counter. Drinking.

Tifa: Don't despair. He loves you too much to let the planet get in the way.

Perry: That's right!

Tifa: Perry?

She stood up and touched my face.

Tifa: You're back?

Perry: Yup!

Tifa: What took so long?

Perry: I was only gone a few hours.

Tifa: It's been about a week! Where have you been?

Perry: My world!

Tifa: OH sorry.

Perry: Time must pass faster here than there.

Yuffie: You good for nothing!

Perry: Don't be mad Yuffie.

Tifa: She's drunk.

Perry: Not this again.

Yuffie: You know how much I have waited for you president? Those pink elephants are after me again!

Perry: C'mon Yuffie. Time for bed.

Yuffie: You're soft!

Perry: Stop touching my a...never mind^_^

I led her to a room Tifa got for us. She's so nice.

Tifa: We all thought you would never come back.

Perry: I did too. But I'm here!

Tifa: I'm so happy you are too!

Perry: Wonder what everyone else is gonna say.

Tifa: They'll be happy too.

Perry: ok.

Tifa: I'm going over here for awhile. Everyone else is over there. Later.

Then she kissed me on the cheek. I just turned bright red. Well, time to surprise everyone.

Barret: Doesn't seem like much of a party without him.

Cloud: Never thought I'd care much. He did make the group complete.

Vincent: It does feel empty without him.

Red XIII: He's probably trying to get back now.

Aeris: I know he is! My brother would never let us down. He hasn't before at least.

I decided to make my appearance a little shocking to everyone. I snuck up on Aeris and poked her just above both hips at the same time. She just jumped about 3 feet into the air! It was so funny.

Aeris: Hey! Perry?

First she was mad then confused.

Perry: Sorry sis, but you should've seen your face.

Aeris: Is that you?

Reeve: It looks like it.

Perry: You're here?

Reeve: The Cait Sith unit was damaged to badly. Plus, I'd like to get out once and awhile.

Perry: Well, I'm back! Let the good times roll!

Barret: I'll drink to that!

Cid: Me too!

Perry: Me three!

Cid: Thought you hated beer?

Perry: It's a special occasion. I could use it.

I drank a shot of something. Didn't know what it was. It was strong but I enjoyed it.

Aeris: Don't get drunk now. Can't end up like Yuffie.

Perry: Yeah. She doesn't exactly know I'm here.

Aeris: Well I'm so happy you're back again!

She hugged me around the neck and I hugged back.

Barret: Ain't that cute? The two siblings like each other.

Perry: Whatever.

Barret: But one hasn't changed one bit!

We all had an enjoyable time. I almost got drunk but Aeris kept the drinks away from me when she saw me get tipsy.

Aeris: Time for bed.

Perry: Night sis.

I went into Yuffie's room and she was still out. Only a little off the bed.

Perry: Same old Yuffie.

Well what a happy ending. Don't worry though. The story doesn't end here. It'll continue onwards!
