Anime CROSSFIRE!
Experiment 1: Ah! My Goddess! - Final Fantasy 7 crossover
NOTES:
Final Fantasy 7 is a copyright of Squaresoft and Ah! My Goddess! is a copyright of Kodansha (or so I think...). The point is: I DON'T OWN THEM. I'm only making a fanfic based on these creations. Don't sue!
Last chapter - Okay... that kinda felt 'rushed', didn't it? A lot has happened lately, so I just wrote that piece all in one day and a half. Now I'm seeing its horrible consequences... But now after the overhaul, I feel that this story got better ('coz there're no more 'Gary Stu's like Daisanji).
This chapter - I'mma take things more lightly this time... If this fic comes out a lot later than expected, then forgive me. I still have a lot of overhauling to do, so bear with me.
Anyways, enjoy this fic. I hope its good enough coming from a first- timer. (
Crossfire AMG-FF7 Chapter 5: Gate of Life and Death

Belldandy was scanning Aerith's body with a spell. Her hands hovered above the flower girl's head, and then slowly moved down her entire body as she lay there on the ground. After a while, the soft glow on Belldandy's palms faded. She sighed as she wiped the sweat off her brow.
"How is it going? Will I be okay?" Aerith asked anxiously.
"Well," The Goddess started, "the virus is mainly focused on your wound, but it is slowly making its way around your system. Part of it has already entered your mind."
Aerith's face flushed pale.
"Don't worry; it's inactive for the meantime. We still have enough time to work on an antidote."
"But, it's not only that," Aerith's body shivered, her hands clenched together while she looked around.
"What is it?" 'Bell' put a comforting hand over the Ancient's shoulder.
"What about those things we sensed earlier? I felt a strange atmosphere when they came."
"Hmm..." Belldandy meditated for a few seconds, waving her arms slowly around, sensing the environment. She stopped and whispered, "The energy is weaker now. But it's strange indeed."
"Why?"
"I think it's just watching..."
Aerith felt uneasy, "Aah... That's even scarier!"
"I'm scared too. But let's just bear with it." Belldandy tried to calm her nerves, "However, it would frighten me less if it would just show itself."
"So, what now?" Aerith wondered, "It'll only be a matter of time before the virus activates itself again."
"I will try to delay the virus' effects with my powers for now. I can contact my base for further instructions, if you can open a portal."
"No problem!" Aerith gave Belldandy a thumb's up.
"Alright, I'll get started on you immediately. Could you please stand up?"
The Ancient nodded, "Okay."
Aerith stirred a little as she got on her feet. She took a deep breath and stood firmly upright.
Belldandy closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and whispered a spell. A soft light glowed around her entire body. Opening her eyes, she stretched an arm towards Aerith's stab wound. The glow that surrounded Belldandy was then transferred to the Ancient - it seeped into her like water. When the glow was completely gone, Belldandy stumbled onto her knees, gasping.
Aerith rushed to her aid immediately. She put the Goddess' arms over her shoulders.
"I... need to rest... for a while... Are... you okay?" Belldandy said between breaths.
"Yes. I fine now, thanks to you," Aerith smiled a bit, "Bell?"
The Goddess of the Present was already fast asleep.
Aerith gently settled Belldandy's head on her lap as she held the sleeping woman closely.

Dust whirled into thick clouds of grey as the Highwind settled. The docking ramp was brought out and Cid stepped out with the bouquet of flowers.
"Here we are, folks! Le's go."
Red and Skuld followed the old pilot. Skuld glanced at the red warrior for a while.
"I never got to ask, but..." Skuld scratched her cheek.
"Hmm...?" Nanaki stopped.
"How come you can talk like humans do?"
Red chuckled, "I'm more than just an 'animal', little girl." Then he followed Cid again.
"That's hardly even an answer." Skuld pouted, and continued to walk.
The trio walked deeper into the Ancient City, until they got to the central pond, which was glowing ominously. Cid stared into the pond - there was nothing but a vast, blue emptiness.
"It's just like how we left it a year ago." Red sighed.
"Yea'," Cid stepped back, "but how d'ya explain dis freakin' glow?"
"Never mind that..." Red gestured at Cid's hands.
"Oh... yea', almost fer'got." Cid gently put the bouquet on the lip of the pond.
"Oth'a peeps might not know ya, Aerith," the old pilot lit up a cig, "But we'll always remember."
Moments later, Urd stepped out of the giant shell-house that was facing the pond.
"Hmm...? What's up?"
Skuld waved, "Hi there, o-ne-san."
"Hey, you're finally back," Urd walked around the pond to where the trio is, "Who's the guy with the pet?"
"Excuse me, ma'am, but I'm no pet." Red squinted at Urd.
"Holy! Did it just talk to me!?"
Gizmo-girl giggled a bit, "O-ne-san, these are Cid and Nanaki."
Cid casually saluted, "Nice th' meet ya, ma'am."
"Ma'am?" Urd raised a brow.
The red warrior studied Urd's appearance, then turned to Skuld, "You two seem to have a very wide age gap."
"That's 'coz we still have another sister," Urd tossed her hair back, "And I'm STILL very young!"
"Tell dat to th' mirror, missy!" Cid laughed.
"Why you little...!" Steam blew off Urd's ears.
Skuld and Nanaki laughed lightly - it seems that everybody was starting to get along quite nicely.
A little while later, they had already set up inside the shell-house near the pond. They settled down to rest a bit.
"By the way," Red started, "You said that you still have another sister. So, where is she?"
Urd and Skuld looked at each other, then at the warrior. Skuld spoke first, "Well, she's on a different mission right now..."
"Mission? You have one too?"
"Yeah," Urd replied, "You guys saw how the pond out there was glowing, right?"
"Come th' tink 'bout it..." Cid scratched his beard, "... Dis has sumthin' to do with Aerith, doesn' it?"
The two sisters exchanged concerned looks.
"C'mon. We ain't got nuthin' on ya." Cid confirmed.
"Well," Skuld started, "we got a report that strange things have been happening lately. It has something to do with your friend..." she stuttered.
"What?"
"Aerith is trying to raise herself from the dead." Urd finished.
Cid and Red were dumbfounded by this, "You have got to be kidding!" the red warrior hastily replied.
"I'm sorry, but that is the truth. There's no other way to explain what's happening." Skuld felt bad for shocking the two men with the awful truth.
"So... what now...?" Cid spoke after a moment of silence, "I mean, she ain't doin' anythin' bad..."
"Maybe," Urd continued, "but massive amounts of energy have been used for this revival process. If this continues, who knows what disasters might strike! We've already heard reports that this world and ours have had tremendous amount of earthquakes due to Aerith's energy overflow."
"I... see." Nanaki's head drooped.
"And what's worse is that someone else is behind all of Aerith's actions."
"Who could it be?"
"A man named Sephiroth." Urd concluded.
The two men were shocked even more. "What t'eh HELL!?" Cid jumped in surprise.
"That's what are report says," Skuld followed up, "you guys know him?"
"Like Hell we do!" Cid cracked his knuckles, "So dat damn bastard iz up th' no good again!"
"But, isn't he dead already!?" Red stammered.
"That what we're here to find out." Urd confirmed, "If he's manipulating Aerith to resurrect herself, then he must be up to something."
"... Not good..." Red paced around, thinking, "What will happen if Sephiroth uses Aerith as a catalyst?"
"Ya mean, to revive 'imself!?" Cid kicked up some dust, "How!?"
"Maybe he can follow Aerith as she tries to revive herself."
"That ain't good at all..." Cid murmured.
"Well, we can't do anything about it," Skuld interrupted, "all we can do is just sit here and wait for further instructions."
Nanaki and Cid hushed... their eyes full of doubt. They can't believe what was happening before them, and all they could do is nothing. A while later, Cid decided to retrieve the bouquet of flowers from the side of the pool.
"Well... at least ya ain't dead yet..." Cid paused for a while, then continued, "We're countin' on ya..."
