Chapter Four: Without the Guardian
"Renewed as some might say, I'm not the same person you all knew." (Sephiroth)
Leviathan's scales reflected the terror and bright light of the beast's true strength. It had spread its wings and began to form a water sphere below its tail. At the cue of Sephiroth's command, Leviathan rose into the sky and then without notice dove downward toward the center of the Pagoda. As stealth like as possible the Leviathan quickly banked and flew directly over the Pagoda, crying a shrill roar. Flowing behind it raged the Tsunami that soon engulfed the Pagoda and defeated the other Leviathan.
"How's that for a Summoning Godo! Or are you blinded by your ego and defeated by my overwhelming power? Either way, this round you lost my friend. Farewell, we'll meet again in death."
I came down from the sky as Leviathan returned to its watery prison and I picked up the materia Godo's unconscious body had dropped. I slowly walked through the knee deep water and fought my way through the flooded Pagoda and soon reached the Wutai Mountains. I traveled the thin trail and entered a cave. I placed the materia deep within the cave and the scales of Leviathan along with it. I summoned up and eternal 'fire' spell, only broken by the power of Leviathan itself. I turned on my heel and left the forsaken village of Wutai and traveled to Cosmo Canyon.
Through all types of terrain and weather, I managed to reach Cosmo Canyon within a fortnight. Entering the Inn, I decided to keep my cloak around me to prevent from being bothered. I walked past the bartender and ordered myself water. I walked to the corner of the Inn and sat down, enshrouded by the shadows. Only my bright emerald eyes would have been noticeable, indicating that I was sitting there. I was exhausted from the journey, my eyes were sore. So I decided to rest my eyes for just a bit.
Before long I was in a peaceful slumber, still hidden from the light within the shadows. I had not slept long, for a young adventurous ninja came clanking down the Inn's stairs, rousing me from slumber. I did not stir, but silently opened my eyes to see who it was. For long moments I stared at the ninja, she looked so familiar, where had I seen her before?
"Miss Kisagari? You've seem to have forgotten to pay yet another night."
"I'll pay you later! Bartender, has any news came from Wutai yet?"
"Kisagari, it must mean she's Godo's daughter, Yuffie."
Perhaps I had spoken too loud, because Yuffie turned toward me staring blankly at my piercing green eyes.
"Did you know that man Miss?"
"Oh, um no I don't think I do. So like I was saying, has word come from Wutai?"
"Yes, I believe some has, unfortunately its bad news."
"What has happened? Tell me!"
"The Treasure was stolen, and the Pagoda destroyed. Half the village is flooded because of..."
"Because of what, just tell me!"
"Several survivors say it was the Leviathan, only the weird thing is...it was fighting with the one from the Treasure."
"I don't believe this! I'm going home, sorry but I'll pay you guys back some other time."
"It seems the news has spread quite far in a fortnight."
"Ok, look here mister shadow! My hometown is flooded, and all you say is you knew about it?"
"Of course I knew about it, I caused it."
I began to laugh under my breath until I could contain it no longer. My maniacal laugh forced the hood of my cloak to slide off revealing not only my eyes and face. My silver hair fell down my back, clearly identifying me as the Great Sephiroth of SOLDIER. You should have seen the look upon Yuffie's face, for she remembered me from when I first visited Wutai during the War. That look was priceless.
"You, you're the one who killed my mother!"
"Yes, I do believe I am."
Now everyone in the Inn, including the bartender; was staring at me. Then they also recognized me, the bartender shouted out my name and within moments everyone was surrounding me.
"Yes, I am indeed Sephiroth. I was reported M.I.A. not too long ago. Not even the Shinra know I am still alive, and as you can see...I am much stronger."
A bright green light emitted from my body forced the civilians in the Inn up against the walls and tables. I held them there, suspended; that way I could tell them what was actually going to take place.
"Now...Since you all have decided to be so kind as to hang around awhile. I'm going to tell you what I am going to do with you."
"I swear, Sephiroth you'll pay for my mother's death and the damage to Wutai."
"Shut up Kisagari! Do not speak to me like that; I am the one who holds all of your lives in the balance. I repeat this once and only once, do not cross me!"
"..."
"That's much better. As I was saying, I traveled to Wutai and fought your father, the General of Wutai. Luckily he's still alive, or at least he was when I left him. I took the Leviathan materia to the caves and sealed it with fire. Now, this brings me to my next topic of discussion."
"You monster, how could you do such a thing!"
"I should not have to repeat myself! Shut the hell up Kisagari, or do you need a demonstration of my power?"
"..."
"As I thought... if everyone will be so kind as to accompany me outside for a moment..."
I broke down the Inn's door and stepped into the dawning light of Cosmo Canyon. I dragged behind me my spectators; they would see exactly what Wutai had seen before I flooded it.
