Millenia: With this chapter we had a hard time deciding, either make this chapter kinda long and the next chapter really short. or cut this chapter a bit and make the next chapter really long *last chapter* So The next chapter will be the last one and it might take me a bit longer to write. *wipes sweat off* I hate giving serious announcements no fun.
Disclaimer: We do not own FF7 or anything at all.

Everyone walked down to the end of the hall. They were about to turn the corner when Sephiroth came out of the no where. He had his Masamune in his hand and stabbed the person that was in front of him. The others gasped in shock and ran to their injured comrade that had been stabbed by the ex general. "This is the end of the line for you." He said coldly as he twisted his sword around.
"NO!" Cloud shouted as he lunged at Sephiroth who drew himself back before the blow hit him. Sephiroth started laughing. "Once again, you fail to protect the ones you love. I'll be waiting for you in the main room." Sephiroth then disappeared into the darkness of the Ancient Temple.
Cloud was breathing heavily. He looked down at the ground and saw blood that was trailed over to where his fallen comrade was. Cloud shook his head and started to pace over toward where the ground was huddled.
Flashbacks started playing in Cloud's mind of in the Nibelhiem Reactor when he failed to protect Tifa from Sephiroth and she was slashed across the chest. Flashbacks of when Zack was gun down by Shrina troops. Of when Sephiroth stabbed Aeris and of putting her body to rest in the lake.
"Oh my god, is she going to be ok?" Yuffie had her hands over her mouth and looked a bit panicked. "That damn son of a bitch I swear I am going to blow his fucking head off." Barrent started shouting. "I can heal her. It will be ok." Aeris calmly stated as she bent down toward where Tifa was lying.
Cloud walked over and stood next to Vincent. He gazed down at Tifa with a sadness in his eyes. 'Not again.' He said to himself. Tifa was bleeding badly and coughing up blood. There was a hole right through her left lung.
"Pulse of Life." Aeris wasn't having any luck closing the wound on Tifa. "I don't understand that this should have worked." Aeris started thinking of another way to cure Tifa. 'Why isn't this working?' She was getting really upset. Aeris looked back at the group. All of them were starring down at Tifa with concern.
"Is there anything you can do?" Red asked as came up to Aeris and laid his eyes on Tifa. Aeris shook her head. "Even if I use the Great Gospel, it won't heal it. I think that was no ordinary cut she has, Sephiroth used some sort of dark magic on his sword. Usually it should heal." She looked down at Tifa and saw that the young girl was starting to sweat a bit.
Cloud also went up and bent down beside them. Tifa moved her eyes toward Cloud. She then looked back at Aeris and thought for a moment. 'Now they can truly be together." She thought to herself. She started to speak. "It's ok. I don't mind." Her voice cracked a bit at the end. She was starting to look paler.
"No, it's not Tifa." Aeris said and then looked back at everyone else. "Could you all please give us a moment please?" She asked. No one said anything they just did as they had been asked to do.
As soon as they left, the only ones that remained were Cloud, Aeris, and the injured Tifa. Aeris took a small breath before she started to speak. "Listen during the battle outside, I was able to talk to Aradia and she told me something that you both should hear." Cloud and Tifa stared at Aeris as she began again.
"The first thing she told me was about when u and she was talking in Midgar." She looked at Cloud. "She told me that you had bought a ring and you were going to propose to Tifa the next day, but you were unable to because of all of this." Cloud started to turn a bit red as Tifa looked at him in a bit a shock. "You were going to propose?" Cloud nodded. "The other thing Aradia had told I was that." Aeris hesitated a bit. "You're pregnant Tifa."
Cloud's jaw dropped open and his eyes went wide. Tifa did the same. "That is why you cannot die. You have to live and I know a way your can." Aeris said as she put her head down a bit. "What is it?" Cloud asked looking at Aeris. "I can ask Aradia to do a soul exchange. I can trade my life, to save yours."
"But" Tifa tried to speak which made the wound hurt more. Aeris shook her head. "It is ok. I was at peace before. I was able to see my people, be with my mother and be with the other man I cherish as much." She smiled at them.
A few feet a way from them a flicker of white light appeared and revealed Aradia. She walked over toward them. "You ready Aeris?" Aeris shook her head approving. Aeris looked back at the other two and smiled as her flesh started to look more ghostly looking.
Tifa's wound started to heal itself. Tifa looked down at it, the pain was gone. She got up slowly and looked over at Aeris. "Thank you." She had a tear running down her face. Aeris smiled at her. "Just do one thing for me. I want you both to be happy." She looked at Cloud and walked over to him. Even though she wasn't able to touch him she still gave him a kiss on the cheek and said her good-byes.
Aeris then turned towards Aradia who was waiting for her. "Let's go." Aeris said cheerfully. A light appeared in front of the two women and then they disappeared.
"Come on, let's go catch up with the others."
~~~
Sephiroth glowered at the entrance to the main room. It was the same room where the black materia had been for so long. All of the drawing on the walls were all still there.
'This is it, soon there will be no more problems. I will finally get what I rightfully deserve.' He chuckled in his head, before he was interrupted.
'Sephiroth.' A voice entered his head, he knew exactly who it was. "What do you want mother? I am going to be busy soon, I do not wish to be disturbed." He said annoyed. 'You will listen to me to me boy. The last times you fought against that worthless human being you failed, I will not accept failure this time around.' She replied bitterly.
Sephiroth just ignored her. 'I know what I am doing, I don't need you to interfere.' He shot back at her. The answer was not good enough. "When I said I was not going to accept failure I meant it." Her voice echoed through the room.
Sephiroth turned around in the room. "That wasn't in my head." He whispered. "Of course it wasn't, this time I am taking control." Jenova shouted through his head. A sharp pain went through Sephiroth's head as he fell to the floor.
~~~~
Tifa and Cloud finally caught up with the others, who had gotten very far ahead and were almost to the entrance. "Guys wait up." Tifa shouted as her and Cloud ran up to them. The others stopped and waited, they seemed a little surprised to see Tifa alive.
"Your ok?" Barrent shouted happily hugging Tifa and then pushing away so it didn't look like he had gone soft. "Yay Tifa its great to see your alive!" Yuffie ran up and hugged her friend. "Where's Aeris at?" Cid asked noticing that only the two had returned.
Tifa bowed her head. "She gave her life to save me." She said softly. The others bowed their heads sadly. "The entrance to the main room is up ahead. We should get going." Red started walking ahead. The others soon followed close behind.
The main room was up ahead, the lite tortures along the walls led the way. They all stopped at the entrance. Everyone turned and they all stood in a circle. "We will win. For Marlene." Barrent said putting his arm out.
"For Aeris." Tifa put her hand out. "For Lucrecia." Vincent put his out. "For Shera." Cid put his hand out. "For Wutai." Yuffie put her hand out. "For Cosmo Canyon." Red placed his paw out. "For the planet." Cloud said last as he put his arm out also.
"Let's go kick Sephiroth ass back to hell."
