"Whatever is the matter?" said Reeve, grinning.
"You're not Reeve!" spat Seira. "You're HIM!!!!"
"Not for much longer my dear." Reeve's smile was extremely chilling. "It's all falling into place."
Seira blinked, the initial shock wearing off.
"What do you mean?" she growled.
"Right now, Cloud is under my control. He thinks he's doing it for Aeris, but that's not true." Reeve closed his eyes. "As we speak, that young girl is making her way towards him, completely unaware." He grinned, opening his eyes. "She even has the book with her. My, that IS wonderful!"
"Yuffie and the others WILL stop you!"
"No, they will be too distracted with the return of their friend. For you see, in order for a person of so much goodness to be revived, a person of immense evil must be also. It keeps everything balanced." Reeve came up behind her breathing on her neck. "But now you know, so I'm afraid you must die..."
Seira heard him draw a knife...
Quick as a flash, she snapped her elbow back into his gut. Hard. She spun around, and brought her knee into his groin, before picking up the bottle of massage oil and smashing it across the back of his head.
She panted as the man lay on the floor, a pool of blood forming. Without a second longer of hesitation, she ran.

Yu Long was walking along at her own steady pace, humming to herself. (It's so beautiful here...) she thought. (Hey, running water! I must be near the waterfall!)
She wandered on a bit further, a bag slung over her shoulder containing the mysterious book. As she approached the large room with the waterfall, red eyes continued to watch.
And wait.
Lokking ahead, Yu Long could see a figue, atanding on the pedetal in the middle of the room. He had blond spiky hair, a large broadsword...
"Hello? Cloud? Excuse me, are you Cloud? HELLO?"
The figue turned to look at her, and smiled.
"Yes, I am. I take it you have the book..."
"Erm, yeah, but shouldn't we go see the others?... Hey, wait a minute, since when did you know about the book?"
Cloud started at her, his eyes glazed over. Then he smiled. "Why, Cid got a message to me. I think that we should do it. Yu ... Long was it? Please hand over the book, so I may start the ritual."
"Hold on a minute, Strife!"
Cloud and Yu Long turned to see a figure with a long red cloak, long jet black hair, and piercing crimson eyes.
"Why hello, Vincent. Long time no see."
"Cloud I don't know what's wrong with you, but this is wrong! You're not yourself! It MAY bring back Aeris, but at what price?"
"That's what Daeda said..."murmered Yu Long.
Clouds smile turned to a snarl. Leaping forward, he stuck at Vincent with his sword. Vincent blocked it with his metal claw, but he couldn't block the powerful meteor strikne hat followed. He slumped to the ground unconcious. Yu Long gasped.
"Now, please hand me the book."
"...no..." Yu Long looked at him, defiance burning in her eyes. She drew her rapier, but Cloud was too quick. The last thing she saw before the darkness overcame her, was Cloud calling out the inscription...
-
Yuffie, Reno and Daeda ran to the room, and saw on the ground three figures, all not moving.
"Oh my God!" whimpered Yuffie. She ran over, and felt Yu Longs pulse. Still alive. Barely. "Daeda, heal her, QUICKLY!" She ran over to the other two figures, Vincent and Cloud. After bringing back Yu Long from the brink of death, Daeda started to treat the other two. Reno helped her up.
"What the hell happenend?"
"Cloud, he," Yu Long closed her eyes. "He read the inscription, he," but she was out.
"It's worse than any of you think," said a voice. They turned, and saw Seira.
-
"Oh, God. Sephiroth. No, not again!" Yuffie was almost in tears. Cloud looked at her, sympathetically. "We beat him once, we can do it again!" he tried to sound lighthearted, but failed.
"Yeah, and how many innocent lives were destroyed before then!" yelled Seira. "What were you thinking?!?"
"I wasn't..." murmered Cloud. "It was like that time, when Aeris..."
"Damn, Aeris!" Daeda exclaimed. "If the spell worked, then she-"
"Might be alive!" Yuffie exclaimed.
"There's no might about it, Yuffie..." said a familiar voice. Aeris was stood there, swaying slightly. She was about to collapse when Vincent caught her.
"Vincent, I meant to ask, why are you here?" asked Seira.
"I heard of the prophecy. I HAD to try and stop that monster being born again." Vincent replied, handing over an unconcious Aeris to Cloud.
"Oh, man, this is SO "&£"$** up!" exclaimed Reno. "Ugh! I need a drink."
Yu Long had been on her PHS during this time. "I called Cid, he's gonna fly over and get us." She said.
Just then, there was the sound of a huge explosion. Daeda froze.
"Daeda, what was it?" asked Yuffie.
"Deaths, pain. HIM!" said Daeda weakly. "The liner, he destroyed it! Everyone on it..."
"Elena? Rude?" asked Reno in a small voice.
Daeda nodded sadly. "I'm so sorry Reno..."
Reno turned away, so no one could se a single tear fall down his cheek. "I'm fine." He said.
"Hey, look!" said Yu Long. Overhead, they could see the Highwind, coming to collect them.

A/N- Sorry it's a bit short, and goodness knows it's taken long enough to get going, but I wanted to set the scene. Remember to R & R!
