Chapter Three: We Meet Again
"Weakness is expendable; strength is the one you fear. Weak are the common foot soldiers, strength are the ones mightier. He is but a third class SOLDIER, I am the Elite." (Sephiroth)
I awoke once more from my deep slumber when I distinctly heard a voice I hadn't heard since the Wutai War. I kept my eyes closed so to seem I was still in a lost slumber. The old voice belonged to the general of the Wutai Ninja Force, the other's I did not recognize, new subordinate apparently.
"Master, the treasure has been brought to the Pagoda as requested."
"Good, meet me there in one hour. I'd like to visit with our patient."
Visit with our patient he said. Didn't he mean, our prisoner? Whatever the cause was I'd soon find out. I heard his subordinate leave, and then I heard footsteps enter my room. I slowly opened my eyes to give the impression I had just awakened.
"I see you were listening to my conversation, SOLDIER Officer."
I replied his accusation with a calm attitude and a solemn look upon my guilty face.
"I see you, Wutai General, still are making false accusations."
"Please there is no need for formality here; you are in a safe place."
"So it seems I am, Kisagari."
"Well, well, well, it seems we meet again Sephiroth."
Godo Kisagari was the leading General of Wutai during the Wutai War; I of course was the Elite Officer of SOLDIER. We nearly always jumped at the chance to kill each other, though the chances rarely came. But this time, it had seemed we finally would get the chances that never came during the War.
"Sephiroth I would like to take you to the Pagoda at the other end of the village once you fully recover."
"Yes, of course. But heed it not; I am as healed and recovered as I am ever going to be."
"We'll see, here stand up and we'll walk to the Pagoda together."
As a stranded soldier might think of a bullet and a gun after weeks of starvation, I thought the same of Godo. I trusted him, and if I hadn't I would not have been able to somehow remember the summoning of the Water Serpent. We walked to the Pagoda, the same one as before. But that one I had personally burnt to ashes during my stay here in the War.
Godo led me up the several flights of stairs of the Pagoda and told me everything about the Summon Materia that had been found in the mountains outside Wutai. When we reached the top of the Pagoda, we stopped and he faced me with malice in his eyes and hatred in his heart.
"Fight me Sephiroth, and I'll show you what new power I have acquired!"
I didn't know whether to accept the challenge or not, considering I couldn't control any summon beast except Ifrit. I didn't want to be burnt alive while trying to defeat my war rival. But deep within my mind an Ancient voice told me to summon the Water Serpent, it even gave me the spell. I memorized it and then I faced Godo as he showed me the Summon Materia.
"So that's the treasure your young subordinate found?"
"Yes it is and you'll be the first one to find out what's in it."
"We'll see about that."
Godo raised the materia above his head and called out the name of the imprisoned beast, Leviathan. The materia glowed blue as a massive water current shot out of the magical prison and released the ancient protector of Wutai. Leviathan settled next to Godo, I was not afraid. I too raised my hands, yet instead of materia I used my magic to summon forth the beast Leviathan. Only my Leviathan was the stronger of the two.
"Weakling, you call that the Guardian of Wutai? That's not a Leviathan!"
"What are you talking about? You must be delusional, you can't defeat this summon!"
"You will shall see soon enough."
I began to chant the magic words mystifying before my eyes and in my mind.
"RaSiahh...Es...Tahh...Leviathanis...Es...Rahh...Tsunaminus"
I spoke the ancient words as if it were my own native language. A bright blue sphere of energy formed in my chest. It lifted me up and the energy shattered the top of the Pagoda. I floated even higher as I chanted the spell a second time. My eyes were filled with a blue light and all I saw was the water Leviathan slumbered within. The sphere began to grow and then it just burst and rained heavy drops of water down to the Pagoda.
Godo just stared at me as the rain fell, a puddle formed at the level with the other Leviathan. Then the rain stopped, my body emitted a brighter blue light and forth from the puddle burst Leviathan. Only this Leviathan was twice the size of the one Godo had summoned, and was a shinier blue. Its roar made Godo cover his ear as I shouted out.
"This is what the true Leviathan looks like! Now let's see you defeat me!"
I pointed down toward Godo and his weakling of a Summon. Leviathan obeyed my command and began to perform its 'Tsunami' technique.
