Cloud had finally arrived out of Bone Village, he placed the Lunar Harp back into his pocket. He looked back from the path he came from. 'I just hope that girl doesn't decide to switch sides. I swear if she kills or even injures Vincent or Red I will make sure she never see's the light of day again.' Cloud mused to himself before he continued his journey to the shore.

'The spirit of the planet, please like I am going to believe that' Cloud thought as he reached the shore and looked over the ocean. "It would be faster there if I could fly there" he whispered to himself. He took the Phoenix materia off his armor and then tried to summon it force. Nothing came.

"What the?" Cloud looked at the materia. He had just noticed that the glowing red ball was not the same as it was before. It's light was almost fading from it. "I guess I'll have to take the other way then." He sighed as he spotted a boat that had belonged to one of the families in Bone Village. "I don't think they'll mind me borrowing this." He placed the Phoenix materia back into his pocket and started heading towards the boat.

Kaden picked up his sword and looked at it. It had a brown handle with black taping on it, the sword itself was long and curved a bit inward at the end of it. His eyes sparkled as he swung the sword around before finally placing it to his side.

"I hope your not planning on going now." came from behind him. Kaden, still starring at the sword did not turn around to meet the voice. "Where else would I be going. I have waited so long for this, finally I shall have my revenge." Kaden smiled evilly before placing the sword into its holder on his side.

Kaden turned around to Jenova sitting in the chair with the robes around her. "It is foolish to go to him, why don't you make him come to you instead. It would make things much more interesting." Jenova said wickedly. "I don't care how Cloud is killed as long as he suffers and I want it done now!" Kaden started walking to the exit, not wanting to hear anymore. He knew what he wanted and he knew he could easily defeat Cloud no matter where or how he fought him.

"Listen to me child. The boy does not know much about you, the only thing he knows is that you are responsible for the death of his friends. You can use it to your advantage, taunt him to make him mad. If he knows where you are he will surely come on thinking he can defeat you, but with all the anger inside of him that will destroy him." Jenova enuciated.

Kaden knew she was right, besides it would be more amusing to watch him suffer from the memories of his friends. He started to chuckle, 'those pathetic souls, even if they were alive and tried to help him defeat me they would stand as much of a chance as Cloud did, none.' "Where should I drag the fool off to?" He asked Jenova.

"Have him go to Midgar, it is far enough away from the others. If they think he is in danger they will head to Rocket Town, not knowing where he really is and when they find him he'll be dead like his other friends." Jenova snickered.

Kaden nodded and headed to the exit of the Shrina Mansion and disappeared. Jenova sat in her chair still amused. "Somethings never seem to change."

The sun was almost done for the day and was beginning to set. Vincent stared at the sun, watching it set like he had never seen it before in his life.

Aradia looked over at him from where she sat with Red next to her. "I hope Cloud is doing ok. Can you sense where people are?" He looked up at Aradia. She turned her head from where she was watching and looked at Red and nodded. "He right now is traveling to Rocket Town on a boat he found off the shore." She said quietly. Red nodded and then asked her, "if you are able to sense where people are, then how come you don't know where that Kaden guy is located at?" "I can usually sense where every being in existence, but from his power he stole he is using something to block it so I can not sense where he is." She answered.

Aradia then got up and walked over to Vincent and stood next to him. He noticed her out of the corner of his eye, but had said nothing. "She does not blame you for what had happened." Aradia looked at the pained man in front of her. Vincent's head jerked towards her. "How do you know? She probably blames me for everything that had happened to her." Vincent looked at the ground in shame. "I know for a fact she does not blame you. She blames Hojo and anyone else that had helped him along with what had happened to her. She loves you still, even from being tortured to live for so long, deep down inside of her Lucrecia still loved you." For once in a long time Vincent felt a merge of joy inside of him. Aradia smiled at him and walked back to where she was sitting with Red.

"I heard what you said to Vincent, how did you know about that?" Red asked. "I can sense each soul that is in the Lifestream, I know for a fact that Lucrecia does not blame him for anything." She saw in Red's eyes a question he had been wanting to know for sometime. She knelt down to where he laid and started to pet him. "And your grandfather, Bugenhagen is very proud of you Nanaki." She smiled at him as she rubbed behind his ears. "How could he, I failed him and all the people in Cosmo Canyon. They are probably all blaming me for their deaths." "No they do not, they believe you can save them. You need to have faith in yourself and in the others that you can save them from all of this." Red nodded. "I will even if it takes me over 500 years I will. Is there a way to bring them back?" he asked Aradia. "Yes, if you are able to defeat Kaden then the power he took from the Lifestream will return to how it was long before and all the souls the planet needed will be returned to their bodies."

Red shook his head. Vincent then came over to join them. "It is getting dark we should start a fire." He pulled out his Fire materia and tried to use it, nothing came out. "It won't work, since the Lifestream is very weak right now, none of what that materia stuff you use will work." She stated.

"Why did Kaden take the power of the Lifestream?" Vincent asked Aradia. She took a deep breath. "Kaden believes that he is the only one good enough to live and all others should either die or serve him. When he was suppose to die, he used the last remaining power he had to stop himself from entering the Lifestream. He was then able to take the power away from the Lifestream and as it started to drain the planet started to die even more than it was already." Aradia had tears forming in her eyes.

"How could he have gotten that power?" Red asked her in much concern. Aradia swallowed. "Kaden is not what you think he is, before he died he had been given a great deal of power. But he was killed still. Do you know how he got that power?" She asked both Vincent and Red. They both shoot their heads in a no response. "He obtained the power by getting the bla" Aradia's eyes widen. "Oh no" Aradia fell back from where she was sitting. Vincent and Red both got up to see if she was ok. "What's wrong?" Red came to her side to help her get up. He could see she had terror in her eyes. "He has started out to early, Cloud is going to try and attack Kaden on his own." She put her hand to her head. "Damn it, I knew I should of gone with him." Red shouted.

"I think I maybe able to help him. If I can concentrate enough." Aradia closed her eyes. Vincent and Red just starred at her, not knowing what she had meant.

Cloud was almost to the shore of Gongaga, when Kaden appeared in front of him in the air. Cloud pulled out his sword. "Who the hell are you?" Cloud asked coldly. But the mysterious figure he had never seen before only laughed. "So you really are stupid boy." Kaden laughed at him. Cloud glared unfriendly at Kaden. "I would of thought out of all the people left on this pathetic little planet you would figure out who was who." Kaden folded his arms and eyed Cloud.

"Your Kaden, aren't you?" Cloud prepared himself in to be attacked by now. What the heck was his guy waiting for. "So you finally figure it out, then again it would be harder for you now since you don't have little Tifa or any of your other friends telling you what is what." Kaden laughed again. "Why don't you come down here and say that to my face you coward, or are you chicken." Cloud growled.

"Aw is that the best come back you can come up with. How pathetic, but then again you were always that way. You want to face me, come to Midgar I'll be waiting." Kaden turned and disappeared.

Cloud turned the boat around and had it head to Midgar. "And Cloud..." Kaden appeared again. "This time you won't win." With that Kaden disappeared.
