Disclaimer: My name is Squaresoft/Enix I own the videogame franchise Final Fantasy. The author of this pathetic "story" does not.( Can you believe he thinks this disclaimer is FUNNY?)

Note: It's been awhile since I've seen the ending to Final Fantasy Seven. So this chapter is going to be a rough patch. And another thing, I'm starting a story without having any concept of how it will turn out. I don't have the resources to do it any other way. So bear with me. All I know right now is that this story will take place immediately after the games end, and will then introduce my original character, Oni Arashi into the plot. He will be the new rival of AVALANCHE.

Final Fantasy VII: The Demon of Storms

Prologue: Divide and Conquer.

Cloud dropped to his knees, the Ultima Sword slipping from his grasp and hitting the floor of the Highwind loudly, a sign of his fatigue from battling Sephiroth. Tifa stood with her gloved hand covering her face in surprise. Nanaki stared out at the scene, as if he were seeing something that the others weren't, and it looked as if he were smiling. Yuffie sat in a corner, her knees pulled up with her arms around them. Vincent stood upon the railing with his arms folded over his chest, and his red cape flowing in the wind. Cid, was of course, busy piloting. Barret looked down upon the destroyed city with a meaningful look. A last remaining ghost of entwined holy and meteor washed over the hot-air balloon, and it rocked accordingly. Cloud spoke the words that everybody was thinking.

"Well. now what?" Tifa and Yuffie both looked at Cloud. At that moment, the Highwind passed by the remains of a skyscraper, and Vincent jumped from the railing to the building. Without looking back he said. " I have atoned." And then he jumped down to a shorter building, and then ran out of sight. It looked for a moment as if Yuffie were going to try and stop him, as she reached out her delicate arm. and then lowered it to her side. Nobody said anything for the longest time as they drifted. As they came lower to the ground Barrett's head shot up, "I gotta get Marlene!" The large man bounded across the balloon, and when he coiled up for his jump to the ground below, the whole balloon tilted down. He jumped to the soil below, disturbing the dust when he landed, and ran off into the city. " It looks like everybody is leaving." Said Yuffie, starting to get up. "Well hold on, I'll give y'all a ride to where yah need to go!" Shouted Cid. Yuffie sat back down. "Guess I wouldn't want to walk back to Wutai. heh." She said. The balloon continued on its way.
