Absolute Chaos by: DarkKnightSephiroth

Ch-2 The Real Chaos Begin NOW Everyone heads to the scene of the explosion in a hurry except for cid who takes his time getting there and is chuckling all the way when they get there they all see a slightly singed and Very pissed off yuffie who now has silver hair. "CID!" She screeches running at him and he takes off like a bolt running from her but he's much slower than she is her being a ninja and all. She catches him and pins him then wails on him like a anvil all the while cursing him out for messing with her hair and setting a dynamite booby trap to wake her up. Sephiroth being the only brave one steps forward and drags her off Cid despite her kicking and screaming.

"Ugh....man Barret was right...it IS a world of pain to mess with you." Cid said getting up slowly using the wall as a brace. "Damn right it is! Especially when you mess with my HAIR!" She yelled at him. Everyone just kind of watched curiously and groggily. Sephiroth made sure to hold her tight he knew if she got to cid again he'd be in for it. "You know I kinda like your new hair." Sephiroth said. Looking it over. "it could be a little longer though silver doesn't work well with short hair. Or maybe I'm just saying that because I don't like short hair" he said watching he reaction.

"Really? You like it?" she said perking "Hah! See Cid? You can't ruin me I look to good!" She said sticking her tongue out at him. "Though if I keep the silver hair. Which I'll have to for awhile anyway I'll have to change my wardrobe...maybe add some thing to it and let it grow some...man I'm basicly changing my whole appearance cuz of you cid!" She yelled at him. Sephiroth now let her go and seeing as how she didn't attack cid immediately he wandered off figuring he wasn't needed anymore. A short while later Though another explosion rocks the ship this one feeling much stronger than the first.

Everyone rushes to the scene of the explosion to see Sephiroth standing there and he appears to be fighting with himself not to do something... "NO! I Won't! I refuse!....What do you mean I cant?! Of Course I can! I'm doing it now! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" He clutched his head and then suddenly drew his sword And began slashing everything around him then he saw everyone standing there some ready to fight others puzzled "STAY BACK! I don't know...What I'm about to do..." He said obviously losing himself. "Sephiroth! Be strong big brother! "Aeris voice rang out and when he heard her his will to fight off whatever was trying to control him renewed "Aeris..." "NO! I will not be controlled anymore!! You will use me no more! Be gone!! Then Jenova Appeared Beside him "You refuse me?" she said "You choose them? These puny traitorous Humans and the Ancient over me? Your mother?! " "Hah..some mother...you Are not her I've learned the truth. I know who she really is and that's probably one of your reasons for wanting to kill her. "You assume too much CHILD" Jenova said smacking him with a tentacle sending him flying back into the others He got up quickly though and charged her and to his surprise Cloud was right behind him on the charge "FOOls! I oNly ToYed wiTH yOU on NoRth CrAter! I WANTED yOU to gEt tO HIM YoU ShaLl knOW PaIN AnD ToRmEnT SOON EnouGH!"She said as her body glowed and mutated again she unleashed a torrent of Poison mist from her tentacles then fled out the hole she made upon entering. Sephiroth pulled a QUICK u turn and snatched Cloud up as he ran from the mist he wasn't worried about himself being poisoned he didn't really need to his body was immune to it even if it did come from Jenova But the others They'd drop like flies and as much as he hated to admit it he needed them Jenova was becoming too powerful and if she found his real mother No one would be able to stop her when he tosses Cloud through the door when they got closer knocking everyone else out of the way and he ran through and sealed the door quickly. "Whew...It'll be safe to go in there in a minute or two the hole she made should air it out." He said huffing and puffing. Everyone just looked at him in shock he'd Just Saved Cloud of all people From Jenova that was like a Double Shocker and it erased all doubt from everyones' mind about him he did it without even thinking so he couldn't have planed it and even if he had they all Doubted that saving Cloud would have been part of that plan. A moment later a report came over the loud speaker that the Airship would have to land to repair the damage because it was causing problems with navigation and they were losing altitude anyway. They ended up Landing Near Rocket Town. It was fortunate for Cid he got to go see shera and spend a while in his own house. While the High wind was being repaired. Sephiroth spent a lot of time sitting on top of the High wind Cloud Spent most of his time with Aeris and Tifa by the launch pad. Yuffie Mostly followed Sephiroth since there wasn't anything else to do and he was interesting to her since he'd undergone such a massive change in such a short time. Red( A/N:Red =Nanaki or RedXIII I'm just gonna refer to him as red cuz it's shorter and easier to type ok?) stayed on the high wind mostly because the people in town were afraid of him. Vincent spent most of his time at the bar and Reeve just kinda wandered around and read a few fortunes as Cait Sith. (AN: I forgot to mention Reeve is traveling with them and using Cait sith using a special suit.) Barret Spent his time writing letters to Marlene and trying to meet a good woman.

Eventually when repairs were finished and not much else was accomplished. Cloud still wasn't completely sure of what he wanted and Barret didn't find a good woman at least not one interested in a man with a gun for an arm anyway. Sephiroth simply had lots of time to think and yuffie was mostly bored out of her mind Tifa struggled to be strong and Aeris tried to stay cheerful but it was difficult with all that was going on And for the first time since the ship had landed for repairs everyone was back in one place again. Tifa almost immediately Asked to talk to Sephiroth alone There were some things she needed to figure out about him and she'd had time enough to think about the questions she'd ask him. So they headed to the upper deck of the High wind as it took off the others just went back to their rooms on the lower deck.

"What is it you want to talk to me about? Sephiroth asked "I wanted to know why you chose to come here...why with us? You could just as easily have lived a life without us and we'd have never known you were still alive." Tifa said looking at him full of curiosity

"Well actually I didn't intend on running into you all I was just visiting my sisters grave I was going to revive her and just happened to run into cloud" He said.

"Oh...But why revive Aeris? How did you know she wouldn't try and run away or fight you?" Tifa said.

"I didn't in fact I expected to be hated but she just accepted me and forgot about the past." Sephiroth replied.

Oh so you just planned on trying to make things right? And travel with her? You do realize eventually she would have wanted to come see Cloud and you'd have wound up here anyway right?" Tifa asked trying to get at a point.

"Yea I realize that what's your point?" He asked turning to face her.

"My point is either way you knew you'd be here and you still didn't answer the question of why come here? My geuss is you NEED us to get rid of Jenova for you." she said

"Heh...smart girl I DO need you all and that's why I saved Cloud today Jenova has become a problem even for me but you all who defeated me with my help now that I'm on the right side should be able to stop her with ease....besides this side has much better tings to look at" he said chuckling a bit.

At first Tifa didn't get what he meant and then thought about it and blushed 'OMG am I blushing?!' She thought 'And did he just hit on me?!' was her next thought. then she heard him laughing.

"You think too much about things." He said starting to walk off "later" he said

"Wait." She said and he stopped "what now?" he asked.

"Why is it you seem so stuck on yuffie but then you turn around and start flirting with me?" She asked surprised she managed to ask him that.

"Because..." He thought for a moment. "Because I can't make up my mind." He said with a smirk and with that he left her to think on that.

She couldn't believe what she had just heard he was indecisive as to whether he wanted her or yuffie?! 'How could he even THINK of comparing HER to ME?!' she thought 'what the hell does she have that I don't?' she thought for a moment going down the usual checklist 'Boobs I'm bigger...Butt..Mines better...Hair...hers' is short mine is long we have the same color eyes....' Then she thought of it 'Personality.......maybe that what it is he always seems to somehow have fun with her Probably something he didn't do very much before now and all I've done is make headaches and pester him...That must be it she's just been nicer and more open to him and I've been defensive...' She had figured it out at last but now the question remained did she really want him or not? That she wasn't sure of she decided she'd wait to see what cloud did if he chose her then she didn't need Sephiroth and yuffie could have him but if he didn't... She didn't want to think about it. Then another thought occurred to her 'what if while I'm waiting on Cloud he decides on yuffie?' she sighed as she thought about it.

it was all too complicated and she wasn't sure about anything anymore. Maybe it would have been best if she'd just said she didn't want anyone and they could all go to hell...Right like she could really do that she couldn't even stick to not liking Sephiroth and now here she was thinking of trying to not like anybody at all?

Suddenly some alarms went off interrupting her train of thought. And she ran to the bridge to find out what was going on when she got there she could See Jenova only there were two of her no now there were three two were attacking the crew and the third and now fourth headed in opposite directions searching for something.A moment later Cloud got there and the two went to fight the pair of Jenovas that were on deck though he wasn't much of a match all by himself against two jenovas. But during the battle Aeris Joined in and changed the tides by using Great gospel. Then Sephiroth showed up and it was all over from there an omnislash and a couple slices later the Jenova pair was dead. (A/N :Yea crappy battle I know But it's a unimportant one so that's why I didn't make it all that great. Don't worry though the real fights will start soon.)

"Follow that one!" Sephiroth ordered and they headed off after jenova number 4. The airship was mostly undamaged but they'd lost at least 5 crewmen from their already light crew. They followed Jenova and for awhile it seemed like she hadn't noticed them or if she did she didn't care. But after awhile Sephiroth realized she was just a decoy. "Damn! I picked the wrong one! Shes just leading us around while the other one finds lucratia!" As Sephiroth spoke though The Jenova they had been following suddenly changed directions and took off. Since they had nothing else to go on they decided to follow her a bit more and see why she took off in such a hurry. She led them straight to Midgar which wasn't much more than a sprawling mess off plants now covering all the technology. It was the first time any of them had returned to this place since North Crater. Everyone went on deck to get a good look at the city as it was now.

"Wow....Midgar..it's..." Yuffie started but trailed off staring in disbelief the cloud and the others were just as speechless. They knew Midgar had shut down and nobody lived there anymore but this. This was completely unexpected it was a ghost town and it had always been a place where plants wouldn't dare grow finding even the tiniest bit of green had been a miracle before in that city but now here it stood before them only little more than a year after they'd last seen it and it was completely covered in greenery. Vines covered the huge reactors. And trees grew through the upper plate the city of midgar had become a blend of city and forest all the buildings and such were still there just you had to search for them in all the green.

"It's amazing how different it is now..." Aeris said as the High wind circled the city looking for a decent landing zone.

"No time for gawking lets get going Jenova may have found lucratia here." Sephiroth said heading to the edge of the railing on the deck looking as if he were about to head off without them.

"your right I'm surprised I didn't think of looking here sooner." Vincent Said and then added "It's the perfect place to hide. No one lives here and no one would look for lucratia in midgar of all places. And on top of that it being a forest now allows her to hide and move around without worry it's ingenious the perfect place." Vincent was now really wondering why he hadn't thought of it earlier then it occurred to him that it was because he'd figured lucratia would never want to see midgar ever again so long as she lived.

Down in midgar

Lucratia heard the sound of an Airship circling. 'oh no someone's here?!' she thought to herself. 'who would be coming here?' and then she heard the sound of movement in the forest 'I geuss its time to hide again.' She thought and headed off to her secret place one she thought no one would ever go to not in midgar anyway. The church.

Jenova slipped into the city and found its other half the two merged and became one again. "So...Everyone's here soon the show will begin." She said to herself and started her search for lucratia.

Back on the Highwind

Sephiroth could sense Jenova again now that she was whole. He looked up "She formed back into one being...Mother Must be here...." He said

"Yes I can feel it too..." Aeris said and then looking at Cloud "We'd better hurry."

Cloud gave the order for the high wind to land he didn't care where. "But we don't have a lz!" Cid exclaimed "How the hell are we supposed to land? You want me to just magicly make one?" He said and starting to laugh.

"Actually yes I do." Cloud answered "I don't care where you land Make a damn landing zone crash it if you have to we can't let Jenova get to lucratia before we do." He said and walked off leaving Cid to figure out how to get the high wind to land. Cid thought about it for a minute then it occurred to him "magicly" he whispered to himself. He snapped he had an idea. Cid ran out on deck.

"Everybody cast either quake or fire on that section of trees right there!" He yelled pointing to a section of trees near the old Shinra building. They did so and a large clearing was made for the high wind to land. Once it had landed and everyone was standing in the forest. Cloud decided they should split up though Sephiroth was way ahead of him he was already walking off to go looking by himself but Yuffie ran after him.

"Heeeeeeeyyyyyy. Sephy! Wait up!" She yelled trying to catch him and when he heard her he stopped and turned around.

"I thougt I told you.....NEVER CALL ME SEPHY!" He yelled at her and she giggled walking beside him. He started to walk again but the moment he did Vincent spoke up

"I'm coming with you two" He said

"Fine" Sephiroth replied.

And they were off leaving cloud ,aeris, cid, cait sith, barret ,tifa and Red to figure out who was going where.

"Cloud I'm going to go with you ok?" Aeris half said half asked.

"Alright...who else is coming with me?" Cloud said he wanted to just say Tifa but with all that'd happened he wasn't sure if that was a good idea... or even if she would want to. So he figured putting it out there for whoever to take it up was a much better idea.

"I'll go" Tifa said after a while. Cloud was kind of surprised she'd volunteered but he was glad because it meant she'd really forgiven him.

"alright. I geuss that means the rest of you are stuck guarding the Airship. Red your in charge." Cloud said

Red just nodded

"What?! Why's he get ta be in charge?" Barret and cid asked at the same time.

"it's simple really...because he the most reasonable out you the four of you." Cloud said as him Aeris and Tifa walked off.

Cid and barret weren't happy but there wasn't anything they could do about it so they let it go. Reeve didn't really care it just gave him more time to improve Cait Siths' design.

The search was on everyone was gathered together searching and on guard at the same time Jenova was hunting Lucretia was the hunted Cloud and the others were searching unsure of what they'd find or what would happen.
