Prexistence: yay finally got the prequel to Advent Children up!! This story, for some might be really confusing because it related into Advent Children, for those who read AC, it explains some of the stuff in there. Also the character Aradia, for those who dunt know, she is the spirit of the planet, dunt ask where I got the name. It was either that or Eris, but that sounds too close to Aeris.

Millenia: great, now shut up and let them read

Prexistence: well :P at u

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in here, except my own. It would be cool if I owned the Lifestream, I'm a save my money to try and buy it. (don't ask)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sephiroth's spirit laid in the Lifestream, his eyes were closed and his body was still. His eyelids began to flicker slightly, they then squeezed tight and his eyes snapped open wide. He looked around at his new surroundings, confused on where he was and how he had gotten there.

'No, it can't be.' He thought to himself as an idea came into his mind of where he was exactly. He tried to remember what had happened to him before he ended up where he was now. Flashes appeared in his head of when he was in the Nibelbein reactor for a mission, with some other people. He couldn't remember who they were. One had black hair, and the other one was left outside with the girl that had guided them to the reactor. The flash ended and he was left to think.

"I remember that, but what happened after . . . " He paused. It finally hit him of what had happened. "Jenova." He whispered to himself. He remembered being in the library and looking through books, then that one night that's when everything mostly had gone blank. "I hope she didn't make me harm anyone." His hands went into fists from thinking of actually killing someone innocent.

'Sephiroth.' A voice in the back of his head hissed. He shook his head and brought his right hand to his temples. "It's all in my head that voice is just. My imagination playing tricks on me." He reassured himself.

'Keep saying that to yourself. You know it's not true.' The voice whispered once again. "Leave me alone." He shouted at the voice. "Now, now Sephiroth, is that any way to be talking to your mother?" It echoed around him. Sephiroth looked behind him and all around, trying to figure out where the voice had come from. "You're not my mother, you're just some alien freak of nature that believed to be a Cetra and took control of my mind and made me almost destroy the planet!"

"Then you should know why I am here then." Jenova's voice rang around him. "Why don't you show yourself you coward!" He reached down for his sword to find that it was no longer there. "Part of me cannot. I can only speak to you through the Lifestream, because parts of me are dead and they are connected to the main part that is still alive. I've come to take you back to the earth to finish the job." She told him.

"I will never help you. I don't want any part in your sick attempt to destroy the earth." He gazed around his surroundings. 'I was going to let you come peacefully, but now I guess I will have to force you once more!' She shouted in all parts of his mind. Sephiroth grabbed his head from the pain that was going through it. He could feel her taking control of him again. "No, not again." He whimpered.

"Leave him alone Jenova!" A voice rang through the Lifestream. Sephiroth did not move at all. He just stayed crouched where he was shaking. In front of him a green light illuminated there. When the light was gone, a woman was left standing there. She looked like she was in her thirties or so. She had blondish white hair, with glowing purple eyes and stood five feet and five inches tall at the most. Her clothing was a long black skirt that reached her ankles with a dark purple shirt. Around her neck there was a necklace with that consisted of five jewels. The one in the center was a Ruby, the one to the left of it was a Emerald, the one next to that was a white diamond. On the other side of the Ruby was a Sapphire and next to that was a silver looking diamond.

The woman walked over to where Sephiroth was crouched down. She bent down toward him. "You can fight her. You are stronger than she is, don't let her win. Think about all the chaos she caused last time she got a hold of you." She whispered to him. Sephiroth stopped shaking after that and stood up. He turned away from her. "Who are you?" He asked in a harsh voice. The woman got up from where she was. "I am the spirit of this planet, but you may call me Aradia." She answered him with caution.

Sephiroth turned his head to the left so he could see her out of the corner of his eye. "So it is true, this worthless planet does have a spirit." He mumbled to himself. "Get out of his mind Jenova. You are not wanted here, leave him alone." Aradia demanded. Jenova just started laughing through Sephiroth. "I am older than everything on this horrid planet. The Cetra stole it from me and I will claim it again." Sephiroth's voice started to sound more demonic.

"You will never claim the planet as your own. Now leave this place at once!" Aradia had a cluster of green light forming in her palms. "I don't think so little girl." Jenova taunted back. She forced Sephiroth's spirit to attack Aradia. She did not see the attack coming and was knocked off guard as Sephiroth smacked her to the ground. She hit the ground hard. Jenova used the rest of her remaining power to form a knife into Sephiroth's hand. He walked over to her and attempted to stab her through the neck. She looked up and was able to dodge it in time.

Aradia saw this and shot green lightening from her hand striking Sephiroth in the chest, sending him flying back. She then got up slowly walked over to him. "Sephiroth, I know you're in there. It is not too late. You can stop her." She said in the gangliest voice she could. He was on the floor kneeling with his hands over his head. She got closer to him and bent down by him. In her right hand she had green light forming in her palm, just incase he was still not back to normal.

"Sephiroth?" She put her left hand on his shoulder to give support for his inner war. He took his left hand away from his head and put it on her wrist softly. A little smile appeared on her face.

It disappeared when his hand tightened around her wrist. He took his other hand off of his head and looked up at her and smiled. "That was a foolish mistake." Aradia jumped up and tried to get out of his hold. He was refusing to let go however. He gazed at the necklace around her neck for a moment and took the knife and cut it. It fell to the floor shattering most of the diamonds on it. He took out the knife that Jenova had formed in his free hand. He took up and raised the hand that Aradia was captured in.

Aradia kicked him in the legs trying to get him to release, but nothing seemed to work. Sephiroth then brought his hand down and turned her hand around. With his left hand he took the knife and cut Aradia's wrist open. Green energy came from the open cut. She screamed in pain and tried even harder to get away, but it was not working. Her blood leaked down into his hand and it then soaked into his, it then disappeared into his skin. The Lifestream around then started to become thinner and thinner.

She tried to fall to her knees. However, Sephiroth kept her standing. He then squeezed her wrist harder to try and get all the energy he could out of her. He finally released her. "I have no more use for you." He then threw her to the side.

"Now to return to the planet and finally get my revenge. I can't go into my normal body, not yet. I want to throw Strife off. If I remember that fool Hojo did create a clone at the end to try and match. That should be good enough." With that Sephiroth used the new powers and disappeared toward the surface of the planet.

~~~~

In Northern Crater Jenova's weak alien body laid on the ground. It was still damaged from what Cloud and his group had done to her.

'Excellent. I knew that fool would be easy to break. Now all I have to do is to wait for him to come and too somewhere safe, in case that other moron comes around here. He will be dealt with first for ruining my plans for Meteor. After Sephiroth kills him and the other two survivors I can get rid of Sephiroth and take the power I made him steal.' Jenova started chuckling to herself. 'I will be able to start my own race. Like how it should have been all along.'

~~~~~~

Aradia got up weakly from where she laid. She looked around and almost screamed. The Lifestream was now red. "The souls that live on the planet have been called. Every living person is now dead." She looked down at her wrist and held it with her other hand. "I got to get to the surface, it's the only way to try and stop Jenova from taking control of the planet." She said to herself. She put her hand down by where her necklace once was. 'This is bad.' She thought to herself.

She looked over at where the shattered necklace was at. The Emerald, Sapphire, White and Silver Diamonds were destroyed. There was one that laid unbroken though. She ran over to it and picked it up. The Ruby diamond was not broken. She held it in her hand. "I got to stop him." She used the rest of her power.

~~~~~~

Sephiroth eyes opened up. He looked down at where he was. He was in a different body, this one was much shorter than his normal and his hair was shorter. He looked in front of him. He was inside a giant glass tube, and wires were inside of his new skin. He saw letters written across the tube; NEDAK, it was spelled backwards. He pulled the wires out of his skin and then with his fist he smashed open the chamber he was traded in.

He walked out of where he was and looked down at what he was dressed in. His shirt, pants, and everything was all in black leather. "Hmm, Kaden. So that's what that idiot had been planning. I can always use it for right now, to throw Strife off." He mused to himself.

He saw a large button on one of the walls that led out of the little mini lab he was located in. He walked over to it and pressed it. The wall before him rose to the ceiling and he then knew where he was at. The Shinra Mansion, behind the bookcase. "Well, guess this is the only safe place I could keep her. I better go get mother and bring her back here." He disappeared.

~~~~

Jenova had told Sephiroth through their mind connection of where she had been located at. He arrived to find her alien body on the cold ground of North Crater. He walked over to her. He transported them both back to the Shinra mansion.

"This will do for now." Jenova told Sephiroth. She was unable to move, so Sephiroth had stolen a wheelchair from one of the houses in Nibelhein. An old man was in it before. Sephiroth threw the old man body out of it. He didn't care. Jenova squeezed herself into the wheelchair and tore off a curtain from the Shinra mansion's window. She put it over herself to keep warm and also just in case any of the survivors decided to come back to the mansion. She could use it as a disguise.

Sephiroth started walking for the door. "Where do you think your going?" She saw him try to leave. "I was thinking of going and killing the ones that made me end up in the Lifestream. I'll make sure they'll be wishing they had been killed during our last battle when I am through with them." She was about to stop him from going when he had disappeared. "That idiot is going to get himself killed."

~~~~~~

Sephiroth reappeared in a corner of a building in his new body. He still was not use to it yet, but it was coming along. 'Where is he? I want to finish him off right now.' He thought angerily. Then he heard voices coming from the other room of the abandoned place.

"Lets go to the City of the Ancients. There might be some stuff in there that might tell us how to get our friends and everybody back." He heard the voice say. He peered around the corner of the wall and saw the person whom he last fought, along side with another man that he had seen before. The other man had long black hair and whole a red cape, that covered half of his mouth.

He gazed at where they had left and started laughing. "A foolish boy, you will never get what you seek I promise you that." He then disappeared in a flash of light, back to the Shinra mansion where Jenova was waiting for him.

~~~~

He arrived back at the Shinra mansion. Jenova was sitting in the middle of the dark living room, in her wheel chair. As soon as she heard him come, she turned her head in his direction. "I told you not to go off!" Her alien voice echoed through the room. He just rolled his eyes.

"I know what I am doing. Besides, he doesn't have his little group with him anymore. He is all alone, well except for that other one that is with him. That doesn't matter though. They have no where to run or hide. They'll all be dead soon."

~~~~

Aradia finally arrived on the surface of the planet. She was surrounded by torn down buildings, the place looked like it had been deserted for some time. A sign on one of the buildings read, "Mideel Clinic" on it. On the ground she saw a thread from rope that use to hold up a bridge. She bent down and picked it up, then she took the Ruby diamond that use to be on her necklace and tied it around it and used it to tie it back around her neck.

"Jenova must already have Sephiroth out doing her dirty work for her." Aradia closed her eyes and put her hand to the ground, so she could sense where they were located at. 'Strange, I sense that Jenova and Sephiroth are both North. However, I am picking up three other life forms.' She took her hand off the ground, then stood up weakly.

"I better do something soon or this planet and I will begin to fade away." Her thoughts trailed back to the other three life forms she sensed before. "So, he is still alive after all this. Doesn't surprise me. I would rather that his one friend, that big guy be alive instead. At least I would know that he would help me save it. Instead I'm stuck with the blonde one that doesn't give a damn. The other two might." She thought to herself out loud.

An idea then popped in her head. "I could always make a deal with them. They save the planet, and I will use the rest of my energy to send back their little friends and the other people on the planet. Perfect. Now I got to go find them." She closed her eyes and saw a picture of the three friends in Bone Village. "I better go." She then disappeared in a flash.
