Chapter 5
Sephiroth had been brought back to Midgar soon after the explosion.First time for a long time he was
standing in front of President Shinra's desk.The president was watching him seriously with his big,
sad eyes.
President Shinra:Sephiroth,they have attacked us.For those filthy rats the town of Gongaga has been
destroyed.Many lives have been destroyed.OUR property has been destroyed!We cannot allow that!!!
Sephiroth:Right,sir.
President Shinra:I'm going to send you to look for them...
Heidegger had sneaked into the room without them noticing.
Heidegger:That wouldn't get us any results.It's been a long while since our soldiers got any
exercise and I'm sure that an army catches them faster than one man...
President Shinra:You are right about that.Alright,Heidegger,find them.
Heidegger:I'm going to lead the search on the Wutai continent.Sephiroth,will you take the northern
continent?
Sephiroth:...yes sir.
Heidegger:Good!I'll also arrange a search on this continent,Gold Saucer continent and the Mideel
continent.Now come with me,Sephiroth,we must pick three leaders,take care of transporting and loads
of other stuff.
Sephiroth:When are we ready to start the search?
Heidegger:Tomorrow.If we are fast,tonight.

They were fast and the ships left at night.Sephiroth had called everyone to the deck.A full moon was
shining behind Sephiroth and a cool breeze gave everyone the chills.The air was filled with fear,
excitement and respect for Sephiroth.The sea was unnaturally calm.
Sephiroth:I'm not going to keep a long speech.You all know our destination.Tomorrow,we will land at
the beach of nothern continent.You will be divided into six squads,two of them will stay at the Bone
Village and while the other one patrols the town and the Sleeping Forest,the other one looks for
the enemies from the beach,the Forgotten City and every other place where they could be hiding.
At the same time,four other squads take another side of the continent.One will search the southern
part,one will patrol Icicle Inn and two others will search the Great Glacier.I will lead another
squad searching the Glacier.It's going to be a tough day tomorrow,so be sure to get enough sleep.
That's all I wanted to say.
Their destination was already visible.After about 15 minutes the ship would reach the beach,but the
men needed sleep.The search would be started tomorrow at 8 o'clock.Sephiroth was exhausted from
arranging everything with Heidegger,so he decided to get some sleep.

The villagers looked horrified when Sephiroth led the Shinra soldiers into Bone Village.
Sephiroth:Ok.Squad 1 and 2,stay here and do what I told you,and don't forget to check all the houses
and interview the people.In the meantime,I'll lead the others to the other side.First I need a guide
...
A villager:Eh...I might be able to help you...just spare this village.
Sephiroth:Don't worry,we are not going to do anything that makes your life harder,but if you could
guide us to Icicle Inn,I would be very pleased.
Techu:Let's go then.By the way,I'm Techu.
Techu was a short,well-built man with a dark hair a bit longer than average.His eyes had a strange
color,some kind of mix of green,blue and brown.His face looked like it had been carved from a stone,
with a short,wide nose.He looked very serious and his thick eyebrows just highlighted his seriousnes
s.
As the son of the village chief,he had grown to be a lonely man.When he was a child,the other
kids didn't want to be with him.Most of the villagers considered him as a frightening man.He lived
separated from the others in the most northeastern corner of the village.
Techu led Sephiroth and his troops through the Sleeping Forest to the Forgotten City and from there
to north towards Icicle Inn.The day had become a night before they reached Icicle Inn,so Techu
suggested them to sleep in a small village called Snowflake.Sephiroth had never seen so greedy look
as the innkeeper had,when the whole gang formed a line in front of the front door of the inn.
At that night,Sephiroth's sleep was interrupted by the sound of machine guns.The terrorists had been
found and Techu was one of them.He had led them into a trap.
Soon the whole inn was in chaos.The civils living in the building crashed with soldiers trying to
locate the enemy.Sephiroth quickly dressed in a black T-shirt and trousers.
The enemies seemed to have a great firepower.Cannons were smashing the center of the village and
the people were fleeing from their homes.Many got shot before they got away from the battlefield.
The Shinra were soon fighting back,but they were outnumbered.Sephiroth cursed the wutain war;after
they had fallen,weapons of Wutai army had been easy to steal and sell forwards.Obviously,the
terrorists had gotten them in their hands.
The enemies had the building surrounded and the Shinra troops couldn't retreat in any direction.The
only way to survive was to hold their position until reinforcements arrived,but it would take at
least one hour.
After two hours Shinra had managed to transport some forces from Midgar to assist them.It seemed
that there had been enemy activity in every continent except Mideel and Midgar.
When the reinforcements arrived,the enemies had already occupied the inn.It was easy for them to
escape through the village destroyed by the fight.
No one knew what had happened to Sephiroth...

Author:Well,this explains why there wasn't a place called Snowflake in the game.It may sound
unrealistic that some terrorist organisation destroys a whole village,but remember that it was a
really small village and they had big weapons.
Anyways,my inspiration to write hasn't been the same after the days have become brighter,but luckily
the summer brings the rains and thunderstorms here.For some reason,it's harder for me to write when
it isn't dark,raining or thundering.Don't worry,though,or should I say that be afraid,because I'm
going to be updating a lot.
Don't pay attention if I've written something wrong,because I don't speak english as my mother
language,but since there aren't very much fan fiction readers in Finland(the whole country's
population is about 5 million people),I want to write in english.
Finland and the finnish language are very dear to me,don't misunderstand me,but I just want a big
audience and most of the people in world speak english.
