Tifa looked in a deadly shock "SEPHIROTH!!"

Hades looked over at her "Yeah,thats it,Sephiroth,thanks hot stuff" He

then dissapeared,leaving Cloud and Tifa to cope with the evil Hades left with

them

Cloud clenched his fist "Tifa..she was right..."



Tifa attempted to leave,buit she found the doors clad shut with the same

aura tha hades had on him "Damn you Hades!!" She yelled

Cloud drew his blade to his right side,jumping into the areana and

dashing at his nemisis,swinging at his crouching body,but before he could think,

Sephirtoth was behind him,his Masamune swung for Cloud's ribcage,but Cloud

expected as much from him,jumping up and flipping behind Sephroth,but in the

instant Cloud had a blind spot due to his flipping,The one winged angel ran forth,

turning around to face cloud as he landed,Cloud charged agian,buster sword at

his right,swinging for Sephiroth agian as Sephiroth swung back in retaliation..

"Why wont you die and stay *swords cling together* dead you bastard!"

Sephiroth smirked and jumped up,spreading his wing and coming down at

Cloud with a horizontal slice at his back,Cloud looked up,deciding if he wasnt

going to make it out of this fight,he was gonna take Sephiroth with him,once and

for all..He jumped up,Buster sword out infront of him,he felt popping of veins

in sephroths chest,sliding his body down the blade as Sephiroth's Masamune hit

Cloud's back,leaving a slash parrallel to his wing on his back as they both

hit the ground,the buster sword impaling Sephiroth and the masamune leaving

its mark across Cloud's back as blood pooled from both of them,almost covering

half of the areana in a bloody mess as Tifa ran to Cloud's side with Sora in

her arms "Cloud!!"



Cloud lay in a bloody mess he was knocked out from the fall and was

staying that way due to bloodloss

Tifa lay Sora down away from the blood and ran over to Cloud "Cloud!

Are you ok?? Please talk to me!" She sat on her heels,her knee's being

taited by his own blood as she saw him shift a little "C-Cloud?"

He opened his eyes a little,turning his head slowly to her,his eyes

locking as he attempted to raise his hand to her cheek "Tifa *cough* I..

I was wrong..You were *cough* right.."



She took his hand and helped it to its destination on her soft cheek

"Cloud..Im sorry"

He fell in and out of conscienceness as he stared up at the sky..it was

getting dark...and it wasnt a natural darkness,it was Cloud's darkness,and

he blacked out..

"Oh god...Cloud,what am I suppose to do?! Dont leave me!" She began

to tear as she layed her hair on his chest,feeling his warmth and a slow

but steady beating "He's...still...*nuzzles agianst his chest* alive.."

Donald and Goofy rushed in,moving over to Sora and taking him to get

the medical attention he needed immediatly as Tifa moved her hands

under clouds back,feeeling the gash the Masamune had left and she gave

a quick glance to Sephiroth's limp body "Bastard...how dare you hurt him..

how dare you hurt my Cloud.." She attempted to lift him,but her strength

wasnt enough to lift him with all of his armor on..

"Dont worry Cloud.." She began unbuckling the many belts and straps

on his body,removing the heavy armor and barley managed to lift him as

she struggled her way to the areana lobby,his blood trickling down her

arms,across her shirt..everywhere..if this didnt stop soon he would

bleed himself to death..She lay him on the ground,on his stomach as she

removed his soaked shirt,throwing it to the side as she observed the cut,

ripping off some of her white,and now,slightly red shirt and dabbed it to

stop the bleeding,then looked around and found a drapery to wrap him in,

and did so..

"Cloud..please hold on for a little while longer"

He clentched his fist in pain,but it was still a sign he was staying

alive..
