Chapter 33
Sifan Leonhart watched the evening sunrays light up the seawater over and around the dome of Aquacity from his window. He lazily gazed at the clock on the wall. It showed that it was already half an hour past the time Avatar was supposed to meet him. He yawned and stretched his arms, a bit worried as to where Avatar could be at that moment. Avatar had said he would meet them at the Aquadia inn but there was still no sign of him. Sifan sighed and put on his coat and walked out of his room. He walked down the narrow corridor of the inn and knocked on a door. A few minutes later, Phillona sleepily opened her room door.
"You're lazier than I thought...." Sifan said watching her sleepy face.
"Yeah well..." Phillona yawned, "All that arguing with the materia hunter office about the pay for our materia's got me really tired..."
"But it was worth it, right?" Sifan said, "I mean we have 40, 000 gils now, thanks to your mouth.... we can live off it for another month..."
She smiled sleepily, "Avatar here yet?"
Sifan shook his head, "Nope..."
"Strange..." she said moving aside, "Wanna come in?"
Sifan shook his head again, "Nah...I just thought I'd check on you...whether you're still alive..."
She looked at him bluntly, "I gave up the idea of killing myself after your -er- words of wisdom..."
"Anyway..." he sighed, "I am gonna go to that coffee bar a few blocks away and grab a cappuccino..."
She smiled, "Can I come?"
"No...I enjoy my coffee when I am alone with it..."
"Suit yourself." she said with a smile and closed the door.
Sifan stood there blinking for a few seconds when she opened the door again with a satisfied smile, "Second thoughts?"
He put a hand to his forehead and sighed, "Hurry up before all the tables get filled ..."
************************
The Liquid Nitrogen in which the body was suspended glowed brightly as Professor Lorenz stood in front of it, involved deeply in thought. He had placed the container vertically now and the body inside bobbed up and down. Lorenz smiled. His experiment had been an absolute success...he had resurrected him just like he had wanted. However, Lorenz's purpose was still incomplete...he wanted control over him too.
"So Sephiroth..." Lorenz said watching the silver-haired body inside the glass container, "Welcome back..."
He broke in to a mad laughter as if Sephiroth had said something to him.
"I'll tell you what I've done with you..." Lorenz said, "the life stream within you...I've made a little alteration to it...as of now...your memory is suppressed...it's in your head but its compressed and stored in one corner..."
Sephiroth's body remained motionless.
"Why did I do that...?" Lorenz asked the container, as if it were alive, "Well, don't be silly...if I gave you your memory...this world won't exist anymore..."
His cell phone beeped and he answered it immediately, "Rupert?"
He pranced up and down in his lab while talking, "Just get the frickin' airship ready, will you?"
"I need you to handle the container with care..." he continued, "Just deliver the damn thing in one piece to the abandoned church in Nibelheim..."
Lorenz hung up the phone and walked back to the cylindrical container and punched a few buttons on its keypad. A coat of steel slid up from the bottom and covered the container on all sides, making it impossible to see what was inside.
"Sorry pal..." Lorenz said, imagining Sephiroth was listening, "Can't let the whole world go berserk by showing 'em you're back..."
*************************
Sifan stirred his coffee with the straw, trying to get the sugar to blend with the cocoa, "These guys can't even stir coffee properly..."
"Quit complaining..." Phillona said sitting opposite him on the table, "There are harsher things in life..."
Sifan didn't know what she was referring to but something told him she was right. There WERE harsher things in life...and Phillona was the one who had experienced them...not Sifan. She smiled back when he looked up at her.
[Just keep smiling....]
He was about to say it out aloud but he didn't.
He returned to his coffee, ignoring them loud 'wild chocobos' band music being played across the speakers on the ceiling of the coffee house.
"You left a note with the receptionist just in case Avatar turns up, right?" Phillona asked him, sipping her cup of steaming coffee.
Sifan nodded. Satisfied he had stirred his coffee enough, he lifted his cup to his mouth. He almost dropped it when Gerard walked in to the place. Phillona followed Sifan's eyes and saw Gerard. She swallowed and turned back to her coffee and continued sipping as if Gerard was a complete stranger. However, a few seconds later, she pushed the coffee aside and sunk her head into her hands.
Gerard didn't notice Phillona or Sifan. He took a seat on a stool near the counter and started conversing with a girl sitting near him.
Phillona removed her head from her hands, and looked at an expressionless Sifan. He quietly spoke while sipping his coffee "Ignore him..."
Phillona didn't reply. She absent-mindedly kept staring at the table, an avalanche of thoughts and memories rushing through her head. She bit her lip and looked up at Sifan, "Can we leave...?"
Sifan sighed, "You want to run away...?"
"What do you want me to do...?" She asked him, with a hand on her temple, "walk up to him and sock him in the face..."
"Yup..." Sifan replied, "but heck...you're a girl..."
She smiled at him, "Nice try, but I am still not gonna punch Gerard..."
He finished his coffee quickly and placed the right amount of gil on the table, "Let's go..."
She stood up and walked slowly behind him towards the exit, hoping she wouldn't get Gerard's attention. But when they crossed Gerard, he shot out his hand and grabbed Phillona by her wrist, "Thought I didn't see ya, did you my little angel...?"
Sifan had almost walked out before he turned around and saw Gerard grinning at Phillona, clutching her by her wrist.
He sighed and walked back to the stool where Gerard sat, munching something and talking to Phillona, evidently pleased with himself. When he saw Sifan walk up to him, he grinned even more widely, "So...she's your girl now?"
A few punks seated near Gerard cackled with snickers. But when they saw Sifan's gunblade hang by his side, they silently turned back to their drinks. Phillona tried to yank her hand free but Gerard maintained his grip.
"Seems like yer winnin' hearts all over this blasted planet darling..." Gerard muttered, "Pretty boy here, Commander Relafen, you even had mine once..."
"Phillona has a few things to do..." Sifan said calmly, "So let her go..."
Gerard ignored Sifan and turned back to Phillona.
"Gerard..." Phillona said softly, "Why did you do it...?"
"I had to, darling..." Gerard replied, "How else am I gonna earn the megabucks this world has to offer..."
"But we..." she started, "That night...you said you still n-needed...m-me...I believed you..."
Sifan knew soon enough why Phillona was weak against Gerard. He was her first love...
"I did...honest, cross my heart..." Gerard said, "But then, we all gotta make sacrifices darlin'..."
Sifan was getting impatient; "Let her go Gerard...she has nothing to do with you anymore..."
"Aww..." Gerard said lifting Phillona's face by her chin, "I am sure she can be mine again if she wants to-"
Phillona snatched her hand away from him violently. He leant back on the table and grinned at Phillona, "You know...I have no regrets for what I did...I never did like you TOO much anyway..."
She wanted to walk away but Gerard hopped down from his stool and stood in Phillona's way, "I mean...all those times when you used to cry on my shoulders wishing you had parents.... wishing that you weren't a damn Orphan...wishing you weren't so alone..."
Gerard's words seemed to affect her and she struggled hard to choke back tears while Gerard continued, "Every time you cried I felt sick that I had a girlfriend like you...always feeling pain and stuff...I mean...the only thing I saw in you were your good looks...smooth skin..."
Sifan's hand tightened around his gunblade handle as Gerard proceeded to hurt Phillona even more, "...When I got you to love me, I guess I got more than I had bargained for...I mean...was it my fault you had to be a bloody Orphan? You kept sharing all your hurt with me when I didn't want any of it..."
"I loved you for your body...your looks..." Gerard persisted, "Not for who you are...not for the bloody orphaned, sad, broken-hearted-"
Gerard let out a loud dog-like yelp when Sifan hammered the blunt edge of his gunblade on his shoulder. Wanting to hurt him even more, he thrust the gunblade's black handle into Gerard's stomach and he sank to his knees with pain, droning like a hurt puppy.
[I ain't done with you yet...]
Sifan turned a deaf ear to Phillona's cries and assaulted Gerard with a furious hack. It hit Gerard so hard that his body smashed against a table and his head bounced off the table's edge. Before he could fall to the ground, Sifan kicked him on his chin, and followed it with an upward swing of his gunblade. While his blade grazed Gerard's body violently, Sifan triggered his weapon and the blast scorched Gerard's already-bloody chest. He went skidding backwards, rolled a couple of times on the withered carpet and lay still on the ground, seconds away from complete death.
Sifan Leonhart stood wheezing over Gerard's crumpled form, sweat dripping down the sides of his face. The crowd around him stood like statues, complete with pale looks on all their faces.
Phillona gave a soft cry and sauntered over to Gerard. She threw a phoenix down and emptied an elixir on him before he could bleed to death from the gunblade wounds. Without looking back at him, she walked over to Sifan and wrapped her hand tightly around his arm.
"Seef...let's go..." she said and dragged him to the exit, with tears in her eyes.
But before could open the door, it swung open and a couple Shin-Ra soldiers hurried in. Their eyes became pools of shock when they saw Gerard lying on the ground. Sifan yanked out his gunblade but the soldier raised his gun to his forehead, "Put that thing away kid..."
Sifan hesitated when the other soldier raised his gun at him too. Sifan reluctantly sheathed his gunblade as one of the soldiers wrenched Sifan's hand and slipped a handcuff on it. Phillona began to protest but Sifan shook his head when she looked at him.
[Its no use...Aquadia is Shin-Ra colony, right?]
The soldier prodded him out of the coffee bar's door into the streets of Aquadia city. Phillona followed but the other soldier stood in her way and shook his head, "You're boyfriend's spending the night in prison, miss...cant let you follow..."
As he walked away, led by the soldier towards a forsaken street, he turned around and caught a very worried look from Phillona. The soldier pushed him forward and Sifan continued to walk towards an old, abandoned building at the end of a dark, dirty street.
The soldier knocked on the door a couple of times and another soldier soon answered it. They exchanged words and the soldier at the door took charge of Sifan and pushed him into the room. It was very aged and looked more like a storeroom than a prison. However, there were a couple of jail cells, caged with black iron-railed doors. The ceiling paint hung like peeled paper on top of him. The bricks on the wall showed themselves clearly and a small tiny window stood at one corner of the cell before Sifan. The guard opened the cell and prodded Sifan inside. He grinned at him and locked the door with his keys. He turned out the light and left the prison room, after locking it from the outside.
The room had gone pitch black as soon as the guard had left after turning out the lights. Sifan felt the wall and walked over to the stone 'bed' made out of concrete blocks and sat on it for sometime. Slowly, orange rays of the evening sun entered through the small window and lit Sifan's cell dimly. He watched the shadows of the window's railings on the ground in front of him and sighed. He lied back on the concrete bed and his back began to hurt almost immediately. He ignored it and quietly stared at the ceiling with his ocean blue eyes.

--------------8 years ago-------------
The memory of him tripping over a rock and hitting his head on the ground slowly appeared in his mind. Quickly, he remembered that the reason he had tripped while he was running was because a man was chasing him. But another thing struck him; the only reason the man was chasing him was because he had tried to attack the man first...
He tried opening his eyes but couldn't really succeed as his body was drugged. But his ears were working right and he could hear a couple of people standing over him and conversing. One had a deep voice while the other was a calm one. He recalled the latter voice belonged to the man who had chased him. He heard it speak first.
"Well, doctor...?"
"I've anesthetized him for now..."
"My sleep spell didn't even make him blink...are you sure your anesthesia will work...?"
"At the most, he might be able to hear us speaking...but he can't move a muscle..."
"Good...how did your time with this young fella go...?"
"Well...I tried talking to him but he was too traumatized to act normal...he even tried attacking me..."
"So you had to anesthetize him..."
"Yes..."
"So what do you think is the best permanent solution...?"
"Memory suppression ..."
"Are you sure...?"
"Yes...that's the only way we can rid him of his past that seems to be traumatizing him..."
"I don't know about that, doc...Maybe he just needs a little love..."
"Even if you DO pacify him, there's no guaranteeing that he might not attack you again...such is his state of mind right now..."
"I still don't know why he attacked me, doctor...h-he even seemed to loathe me..."
"Maybe it was something you said..."
"I was just discussing what happened yesterday with a friend of mine..."
"And he was eavesdropping...?"
"Guess so...he sprung out from where he was hiding and attacked me...with a sword...he looks like a ten-year old and he carries a sword...what is this world coming to..."
"So tell me...shall I go ahead with the memory suppression?"
"..........Fine..."
"Good.... oh by the way...I think I found his name inscribed on his sword..."
"His name?"
"Yes...his name..." he heard the doctor say as he injected another needle into his anesthetized body, "...his name is... Avatar Fenis..."
