Chapter 3.

The Fight

The party waited in silence. The stars were shining brightly, very brightly. Everyone was waiting in suspense to see what would happen next. They waited in complete silence until another wind picked up. It was slight at first but it gradually picked up. All of a sudden they could all feel a heavyness on their hearts. It was like an evil wait. Then, up above them, one by one, the stars started to fade. They were all falling into darkness. It was becoming pitch black. In under 30 seconds, even where it was daytime in places in the world, mother Earth was completely black, and completely silent.

"Draw your weapons, they will guide you in the darkness and toward victory!" Red yelled, startling the group. They did what they were told, and like he said the electricit around their weapons started shining brightly. They could see all around them just from the radiance of their weapons. Hope filled their hearts but that did not last long. They could hear whispers, faint whispers. Whispers of children, very young children.

"He is coming you will die. He is coming you will die." The whispers were all around them and they thought they could see small clouds swirling around them. The whispers got faster and faster. "He is coming you will die. He is coming you will die. He is coming you will die." The clouds started swhirling faster and faster. Everyone was turning this way and that, intenlty watching their surrondings. Then, the whispers got louder. "He is coming you will DIE. He is coming you WILL DIE. He is coming YOU WILL DIE. He is COMING YOU WILL DIE. He IS COMING YOU WILL DIE. HE IS COMING YOU WILL DIE!!!!!"

Screams erupted from the shadows. Shrill, high pitched screams. The clouds started swhirling in front of the group, getting lower and lower to the ground. It was now all rotating in a very small spot in the ground. Then, as fast as their eyes could see, the clouds, as if something hughe landed on them, spread out instantly. It was like a something had been dropped on a big cloud of dust. They covered their eyes. They looked up to see him standing there. He was looking at the ground.Him, the source of the energy, the evil, and the death.

He was holding his masamune. His form shocked everyone. It was but……a child. Or at least they thought. Suddenly He rose up and took a much larger form. He looked the same but was now at least ten feet tall and had wings. Wings that were like a devil's. The webbing was ripped and torn, pieces falling off at some places.

"Everyone spread out!" Cloud yelled. They did as he said and got into fighting postions. Cloud stayed put and faced Sephiroth, his Ultima Weapon drawn. Red and Tiffa were with him. Vincent and Cid were to the left a bit and Barret and Yuffie were to the right.

Sephiroth finally looked up.
"YOU WILL ALL DIE AT LAST!!!" He jumped up into the air bringing his ten foot sword behind him, ready to strike. Acting fast, Barret shot multiple rounds at him, knocking him off balance. Cloud jumped forward and slashed at him two times. Cloud jumped back down and. Tiffa stepped forward and immediatley cast Mb barrier, Barrier, Wall, reflect and Haste on the group and Cid links the spells with his Independent materia using mega all so the whole group got affected. Sephiroth recovered and cast Ultima on the entire group. The damage was cut in half by the spells Tiffa cast. Not wasting anytime, Red cast Knights of the Round and Tiffa used Mp absorb at the same time. Sephiroth was cut by all of the knights but it seemed to not take much out of him.

He immediatley recoverd and knocked Cloud off his feet and got ready to swing his sword but Yuffie threw her Conformer and knocked the sword backwards. Barret casted Regen on the entire party. Sephiroth picked up the pace. He swooped around the group and cast Super Ultima (a new spell he created) on the group. This did a lot of damage to the group but got Cloud's limit break up. He used Omnislash and Barret and the others healed eachoter. Red got ready to summon another Knights of the Round and Yuffie would mime it.

Cloud finished his limit break and Sephiroth cast Mb barrier, Reflect, Wall, and Barrier on himself. "Wait Red!" Barret yelled and he cast Despell on Sephiroth. It took off the Reflect and Mb barrier, but not the Wall or Barrier. Red summoned and the 14 knights came out and Yuffie mimed the summon.

Sephiroth stopped. "You guys are better than I remember. But I guess now I can stop with the warm up." Sephiroth split himself into ten different Sephiroths. Each one was a shadow, but the group did not know which one was the real one. The Sephiroths smirked. "If you live past this, I will tell you a secret of mine. HAHAHAH! But that is doubtfull!"

Find out next time if they live to find out his secret.
