Disclaimer: I don't own FF7. Duh. I mean, come on. If I owned FF7, would I really have to make a FANfiction about it? I think not.

Author's Note: JOY! 104 reviews!!!! I'm in the big time now, oh yea!! It makes me all happy inside. I was not going to write a chapter today, but, in the interest of rewarding my reviewers and celebrating Halloween- the BEST holiday by far, along with Christmas- I am posting up a Jenova chapter. After all, she's freaky enough for Halloween, right? And, why do I like Halloween, you might ask? Simple. You dress up like a freak, go to stranger's houses, scare them, they give you candy. Great holiday.

Thanks for the 100+ reviews!! Happy Halloween!! BOO!!!!! Enjoy!

Chapter 35:

Become Strong

Finally.

Finally.

After all this time of waiting, the boy was finally beginning to be under my control.

He still fought, every now and again.

Still struggled, trying to win against me.

...

Useless.

Of course, he believes he can win.

For some incomprehensible reason, he believes he will not be controlled by my power.

He gives futile attempts to try and stop me.

They, of course, have no effect.

And, why should they?

I am, after all, godlike.

No one can surpass me.

No one can conquer me.

This boy is slow to learn this.

But it will come.

It will come with time.

...

...

Yet I am impatient.

I seek to gain power now.

After centuries of waiting, will a few years more be so hard to endure?

This is what I tell myself.

This is what I convince myself, when the waiting becomes too much to take anymore.

But the boy is not yet ready.

His body is still immature, and his mind is still capable of free thought.

It should have been easier to take him over.

Perhaps my cells have given him a greater defense?

An interesting thought.

One that must be carefully weighed.

...

His mind will break.

Eventually.

Of that, there is no doubt.

I cannot let him have control while I wait for that time, however.

He must be ready for me when I am able to fully control him.

That is why SOLDIER is necessary.

The training he gets while in this program will be invaluable to me.

He will become a skilled warrior, trained in many forms of combat.

With these at his command, he will be able to perform the duties he must.

He will succeed where others have failed.

He must succeed.

There was no other option.

The only obstacle in my path now is that girl.

Aeris.

...

That Cetra.

It was an unfortunate mistake that all of that disgusting race did not die at once.

Fortunately, mistakes can be corrected.

The girl must die.

If only the boy was willing to kill her.

It would surely give him strength.

However, it is obvious he feels strongly against killing her.

Even if he asked Zack for help, neither boy would complete the task.

She has tainted them both.

No matter.

That will be the final test for him.

Once he kills that girl, he will be completely mine.

She will be nothing.

Not even a memory that he can long for.

She will be gone forever, and the boy will be free.

Zack will take his rightful place as second.

My plan will be just short of completion by then.

...

That is still a long way off.

For now, focus on the present.

Become a strong SOLDIER, Sephiroth.

Become strong, and fight well.

Once you do, I will be waiting for you.

I will be there, waiting to control you.

And once I have taken control of you, there will be no escape.

You will kill the girl, the Cetra.

And your transformation will finally be complete.
