And they did arrive at the Northern Crater, much to Red XIII's dismay.

"I LOVE what you've done with the place, Seph!" Aeris complimented.

"Didn't take long, just grabbed a few things here and there..."

"Sephiroth! You haven't been raiding Midgar Ruins again have you?" Cloud asked suspiciously.

"Well... y'know... of course I have! Why do you think I sicked a Meteor onto Midgar for? To kill everyone? No, to take their stuff!"

"Sorry I asked...(PMS!)"

Nearby on a large flashy looking sterio, Sephiroth's theme song was playing.

"What the Hell...?" said Barret, looking at it, puzzled. "Heeey, you had this song playing full blast when we fought you here ages ago!"

"...Yeah, I know. I just like the song, but the problem is, I just can't get it to turn off actually. I've tried changing the radio station, putting a different CD in, turning off the power and even unplugging it. I tell you, this thing won't turn off! I've even tried this Final Fantasy VII CD!"

"...The Hell's Final Fantasy VII?"

"I dunno, it's just rumoured to have magical powers. It's supposed to be really good, anyway, but it won't work either."

"Estuans Interius Ira Vehementi..."

"Have you tried smashing the sterio?"

"Nah, I don't want to. It cost me, like, 500,000 Gil or something. Some guy in Wutai sold it to me during the war. Said there was explosives inside. He was so true. This song is the reason I'm so messed up!"

Red XIII had fallen asleep in a corner, and was having another nightmare. He yelled something, then Barret shook him awake.

"The Hell's wrong with you?! You can't just go screaming things at a time like this! Honestly, Chicken Pies these days..."

"I had another dream."

"What?"

"I had another dream!" repeated Red XIII with a slight tinge of annoyance in his voice.

"I really don't get it."

"Okay, so Death has a path laid out for everyone. We were all meant to die at Costa de Sol, but since I had the vision, I managed to save us all...-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa...wait a second here!" interrupted Sephiroth, "so, just because you had some stupid vision, means you get to take credit for saving us all? If I didn't have beer, WE'D ALL BE DEAD RIGHT NOW! HAH!"

"Hey, he has a point you know," said Tifa in agreement.

"Yeah!" added Cloud, "thank the Beer!"

Red and Sephiroth were both left annoyed as they all went partying around his lounge.

"Hey, stay away from my surround sound system you g-" "What are you doing on there? That's brand new!" "Aah, noooo! You just wrecked my new Chocobo beanie cushion...!"

"So anyways, we're all still alive (except Yuffie and Cid) but Death still has us all weaved into it's system, and has come back to get us. Our deaths...are inevitable."

Everyone gasped in horror.

"So, there is no way of surviving?"

"Maybe. Death didn't tell me as such. He did say something about possessing me sometime though. But nothing useful."

"Who will die next?" asked Cloud.

"Aeris," replied Red XIII calmly.

Suddenly, Sephiroth's Murasame fell off the shelf, and through Aeris' face. It was truly a gross sight to see. Everyone stared at Sephiroth.

"Hey, don't look at me!" said Sephiroth.
