I'm passed the two hundred review point! HURRAY! (Graffiti and balloons fall from the sky as fireworks explode) Heeheehee, thank you all so much with your generous reviews, the story wouldn't be where it is without you. Seriously it wouldn't, without them I probably would of given up a long time ago. Not that I ever needed to even consider giving up on this fic. (Sigh) It still has a long LONG way to go. But you guys are so supportive. Wow two hundred reviews, this is such a nice wee. Not only did I pass the two hundred mark but I got myself two new games to entertain me! Devil May Cry, and Galerians: Ash which I might add is a rather confusing and annoying game. But enough about that, let's just get this doggone chapter started... oh crap! What chapter is this anyway? (Thinks) Um.. I'm guessing it's fifty. That's right.. this is the fiftieth chapter.. Time to celebrate again!... or not.

Disclaimer- (Watches surveillance tapes) Excellent... Everything is going according to plan. (Smirks at Zack who's tied up to a chair while laughing at Vincent.)

Well as you can plainly see, I haven't gotten started on my plan, which might I add, full proof. And to make sure I don't forget it, I wrote it down on this sheet of paper (Holds up paper)

So I still don't have claims on Final Fantasy 7 yet. But soon... very soon I shall have it MWAHAHAHA! (Stands up to walk away while dropping the paper. The piece of paper falls into the shredder)

Chapter 50- Demon And Vampire vs. The Silent Predator

Vincent slowly and tiredly opens his crimson eyes. His gaze is blurred from being asleep for so long. Vincent stiffly sits up on the cold metal table. He rubs his eyes with his human hand. Did it work? Vincent wonders. There's only one way for him to find out. Vincent closes his eyes and focuses, '...Chaos?' Vincent calls through his mind.

Vincent feels something shift within the dark reaches of his mind. Showing Vincent that the demon has in fact returned. Knowing that Chaos is back makes Vincent sigh in relief. He feels normal again with Chaos lingering inside his body, not saying that having a demon reside in your body is normal, but to Vincent it is. 'Look to your left.' Chaos commands, the demon shifts in Vincent's mind uncomfortably.

Vincent opens up his eyes once more and looks to his left. Nothing is there. Vincent holds his breath as he slowly leans over the edge of the table. His eyes fall upon the motionless body of Lucrecia, sprawled across the floor next to the table he's laying on. Vincent's golden claw digs into the metal operation table in disbelief, 'No..'

"......Vincent?" A voice calls out as he walks through the door.

Vincent glances up, a small smile spreading across his face, "Lucrecia.." Vincent calls her name out in relief. His smile soon drops though when he sees her, laying in her bed. Her skin is as pale as her lab coat that she always wears. The whites of her eyes are a sickly yellow color. Despite knowing how she looks, Lucrecia gives him a small smile. Vincent quickly walks across the room to Lucrecia's side. He gets down on one knee and grabs one of her clammy hands, "Lucrecia..." Vincent calls out her name in sorrow.

Lucrecia's hand tightens around Vincent's in response, "Don't look at me like that, I don't want to see anymore sorrow then you already show." Lucrecia says. Vincent bows his head in shame, "Vincent... you knew this was going to happen." Lucrecia reminds him.

"Must it be so soon?" Vincent asks, his voice pleading.

Lucrecia frowns a bit in regret, "It's been two years Vincent... For two years my body has been slowly dieing. The Jenova Cells that kept my body alive have been long since dead." She explains, "I warned you when you found me that I would die, I'm sorry Vincent but I only have a few days left."

"....." Vincent keeps his gaze downcast, not wanting to look back into Lucrecia's eyes, the eyes of the one he loves, the one he could never be with, the one who's going to be taken away from him again. Four months after the Meteor Incident, Vincent went back to Lucrecia's cave, behind the waterfall. To his shock and happiness he saw her there, in the same place he found her the last time he saw her. He asked Lucrecia to come back with him, to the Shin-Ra Mansion. She told him that the Jenova Cells in her body are gone and that she would soon die.

Vincent didn't care, he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible before she dies. But silently he was praying and hoping that she wouldn't die at all, he wouldn't allow himself to admit that she wouldn't be there with him forever. Lucrecia finally agreed to go with him. She showed him the hidden door behind the bookcase, she said she would remain there until her time comes. Vincent sadly agreed to her terms, as long as he could be with her, he'd be happy.

"....I won't accept this." Vincent says quietly as he locks his gaze with hers, "Lucrecia.. you must live on. You're strong, you can fight it." Vincent pleads.

Lucrecia gives Vincent a small smile, her eyes filled with pain. She releases her hold on Vincent's hand and places it on his cheek, "My only regret..."Lucrecia pauses a moment, "Is not being able to help you."

Vincent lowers his gaze once more not being able to gaze into her sickly eyes, "You've helped me by being here with me." Vincent says quietly.

Lucrecia's hand drops from his cheek as she brings it back to her bed, "It'll give you more pain then good though, knowing that I'm going to die. I'm afraid I haven't helped you much at all." She admits.

"Would you be... happier knowing you were able to help me?" Vincent asks hesitantly. Lucrecia gives a short nod. Vincent grabs hold of her hand again as he speaks, "Lucrecia.. you are a scientific genius. You know things that most do not. You can help me if it'll make you happy."

"How can I help you Vincent?" She asks quietly.

Vincent rests his forehead on top of her hand and closes his eyes, "Lucrecia, Hojo has done these things to me, he's given me my first few demons, each more terrifying then any monster I have encountered. But you... you've given me a demon far more horrible then those Hojo bestowed upon me. You created him and gave him to me to use. Chaos... the demon that shows no mercy to his victims no longer resides within me. Hojo took my demons away. He's alive, back from the hell I sent him to. The planet is being overruled by the dead and I'm powerless. Lucrecia... in order for me to fight. I NEED Chaos. Please, help me, give me Chaos as you've done once before."

A warm smile spreads across Lucrecia's lips as she stares down at Vincent, "I thought you considered your demons a punishment."

Vincent lifts his head up, the faintest of a smile across his lips, "In battle, they are a blessing. One of which I do not wish to loose."

Lucrecia sits up in her bed, "Very well, I'll help you get your demons back Vincent. Help me get to the lab that's next to this room."

'She died ten hours ago.' Chaos's voice breaks through Vincent's thoughts.

It was one thing to just lock himself in some creepy room. It was another not to explain why he did. But his last mistake was to lock Yuffie, The Greatest Female Ninja, out and not tell her what is going on. Those are Yuffie thoughts for the last three days. She has only moved away from the steel door to eat, sleep, or when nature calls, but mostly she just sits there and waits. Waits for Vincent to come out so she can shove her Conformer so far up his ass that he wished he never kept anything hidden from her.

Out of the corner of her eye Yuffie sees Tifa walk into the lab. Tifa glances over to the ninja, seeing her sitting in her same spot, ten feet across the door with her back leaning against a stack of books. Tifa shakes her head as she walks over to Yuffie, "Are you still waiting?" She asks in disbelief.

Yuffie continues to glare at the steel door, trying to melt a hole big enough to let her through it with her stormy gray eyes. "No, I'm just sitting here because I like the smell of old moldy books." Yuffie says sarcastically as she crosses her arms.

"He'll eventually come out." Tifa tries reasoning with the angry ninja.

"Yea well, if he doesn't come out soon I'll blast an All Creation through the damn door." Yuffie threatens.

Tifa rolls her eyes. "I don't see why you're so angry." Tifa says.

"I have a perfectly good reason." Yuffie replies.

"Which is..."

Yuffie remains silent for a moment before answering, "I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND THE DOOR!" Yuffie cries as she quickly jumps up, runs across the room and kicking the door, "URGHHH!! Open you stupid door!" She yells as she tries to pull the door open. Tifa sighs in defeat deciding it's best not to bother the ninja anymore. Tifa turns around to leave. Yuffie's cry of surprise followed by the crash she makes when she stumbles back into the bookshelf makes Tifa turn back around.

Tifa examines the seen in front of her. Apparently, Yuffie wasn't expecting the door to suddenly open up, which led to the ninja falling back, and hitting her back against the bookshelf, a causing all the books to fall on top of her. Tifa's gaze goes from Yuffie to the now opened door, and there he stands, Vincent Valentine looking rather confused on why Yuffie is in a pile of books.

Vincent glances towards Tifa while keeping a questioning eye on Yuffie who's in the process of pushing the books off of herself, "I apologize for the wait. I'm ready to leave whenever you feel." Vincent says. He gives one more glance towards Yuffie before leaving the lab.

The steel door slowly closes. Yuffie's eyes widen as she scrambles to her feet. She races across the lab to the door. Her hand grabs the handle right when it closes, CLICK. Yuffie tries to lift the handle in order to open the door, only to find that it's locked. "NO!" Yuffie yells as she falls to her knees, she begins to bang her head against the door. Tifa decides not to even say anything as she walks out of the lab.

The group decided to stay one more night before they hike through Mt. Nibel. It's nearing midnight and everyone is already asleep. The night is almost pitch black since it's the day of the new moon. Without the moonlight the stars in the sky seem to glow brighter then usual. There isn't a sound outside except for the tiny insects that appear during the night. Residents in Nibelheim are warmly tucked away in the safety of their homes.

But something silently stalks through the night. The dark figure, standing on one of the house rooftops stares towards the Shin-Ra Mansion. With soundless steps and amazing grace, the figure jumps to the ground. Quietly, the silent predator approaches the mansion. Moving with the confidence of a powerful fighter, the figure steps up to the entrance of the mansion.

{}

Spider webs are scattered across the room. The many closed coffins are covered in a thick layer of dust from many years they've sat there. However, one coffin sticks out more then the others. It lays silently in the center, freshly polished and dust free. Skeletons are piled at the sides of the room and in some coffins. The whole room is filled with death, except for the one living soul standing next to the polished coffin. Crimson orbs glow in the darkness as the stare longingly at the coffin.

'What's one night?' Vincent asks himself as he opens the lid of his coffin. He hasn't been in the coffin in ages, and strangely enough he's been longing to go back into it to sleep. Even if the nightmares appear during his slumber, at least he's have the pleasure of some rest. Vincent begins climbing into the coffin but freezes midway. Vincent's brows lower in concentration, something suddenly feels strange. He senses someone else in the mansion. Someone other then his comrades. Vincent quickly realizes that it's upstairs. Vincent quickly runs out of the coffin room and towards the spiral staircase. If it is an enemy that's inside then they will be heading towards the guestroom.

{}

{}

The three bed guestroom is located in the upper east wing of the Shin-Ra mansion. It's the only room that has any beds for the group to use. The three beds in the room are lined up. Rima is asleep in the bed to the right, she facing the wall. Yuffie is asleep in the middle bed, her covers pulled over her head to keep out the cold air of the night. Tifa is in the last bed on the left. Next to Tifa's bed is an old leather couch that Zack is sprawled across, snoring away. Laying in the corner of the room, out of everyone's way, is Red XIII, curled up. The small flame at the tip of his tail giving the room a soft glow as they all sleep.

Unbeknownst to all of them, danger is at the other side of the door. It's slowly making its way to them. The doorknob to the guestroom slowly turns. The door is slowly opened up a crack as someone peers inside. Yuffie shifts a bit under her covers giving off a soft moan, the rest of the room remains quiet however. The door is cautiously pushed open making it slightly screech on the old hinges.

Red XIII's ears twitch a bit as his nose sub-consciously sniffs the air while he sleeps. Not picking up anything suspicious, the fiery beast reason asleep. The door opens up all the way and the dark figure gazes into the room. The silent predator takes a slow step forward, Click! "Don't move." Vincent commands, holding the Death Penalty against the back of the man's head. Vincent's crimson eyes scan the intruder up and down. He recognizes the green trench coat and black clothes. It's the same man that the group ran into out in the plains.

For being held at gunpoint, the man seem rather calm. He stands frozen in his place, arms at his side with his back turned to Vincent. Vincent's muscles remain tense as he keeps the Death Penalty posed. Vincent gets some unusual vibes from the man. Vincent crimson eyes narrow a bit, 'This is no man or human for that matter.' Vincent is sure of it. He's not the only one who believes it too. "Turn around." Vincent commands. The man remains still. "I said-" Within the blink of an eye the man spins around and knocks the Death Penalty to the side, causing Vincent to fire a shot in a process.

Everyone jumps up out of their beds at the sound of gunfire and looks around in confusion. Their gaze locks on the two figures outside the guestroom door. One Vincent, being held by the neck, his back against the railing. The other person, they recognize as the person they ran into on the plains. "Vinnie!" Yuffie cries out as she sees him being choked by the man.

Vincent glances through the doorway and sees that everyone's awake. His eyes glance back where the man's face is suppose to be, although he can't see the intruder's face. The man's grip on Vincent's neck tightens as he continues to strangle Vincent. Vincent tries to pry the man's hands off of his neck.

"We have to help him!" Tifa says as she begins running over. Everyone soon follows her lead only to suddenly stop by the sudden laughter filling the mansion. Rich, amused laughter rings through the mansion, confusing everyone. They're confused because, one, why would anyone be laughing at a moment like this? And two, the one who's laughing is Vincent.

Vincent closes his eyes as he throws his head back in laughter. One question runs through everyone's head, has Vincent lost it? Vincent's eyes open back up, no longer glowing a crimson red. His eyes hide in the darkness around him. Vincent's body begins to tremble as the sounds of bones cracking is heard. Huge black wings suddenly burst from his back as his face begins to reshape. Vincent opens up his mouth as razor sharp fangs suddenly appear. Vincent's hand and claw briefly disappear only to be replaced by Chaos's claws.

"Vincent has Chaos back." Red XIII says, realizing what's happening.

The silent intruder, sensing the danger, tries to get rid of Vincent. He raises Vincent up off his feet by the neck and throws him over the railing. The man turns to face the others. Yuffie wastes no time in throwing her Conformer at the creepy looking man. The man jumps over the flying Conformer with amazing speed. Yuffie grows in frustration, "Why does he have to be so damn fast!?" She yells.

"Heh, heh, heh." Everyone slowly looks behind them to see a pair of crimson eyes glowing in the guestroom. Rima has changed into a vampire. Rima suddenly dashes forward, causing everyone to get out of the way. She pulls out two daggers from her trench coat while she charges at the man. The man lands back on the floor, a few inches in front of the wall. Rima throws her daggers at the intruder with amazing force. Each dagger hits the man's shoulders, making him stumble back into the wall from the force of the attack. Rima never stops charging at him as she pulls two more daggers. She leaps towards him, sticking her two daggers out in front of her, intending on impaling him with them. Before she hits her target however, the man flips over the railing to the left. Rima quickly stops and looks over the railing just in time to see Chaos snatch the man in mid air.

Chaos smirks as he flies straight up, towards the ceiling while holding the intruder above him. The man doesn't make any attempt to break free as he's slammed into the ceiling of the mansion. Chaos throws the man down towards the floor. The intruder spins in the air and lands on the floor with his feet. A monstrous roar is heard causing the man to look above him. Chaos slams into him from above. The wooden floor cracks in protest before breaking, causing the two fighters to fall into the basement.

From the second floor, Rima leaps down into the hole while the rest of the group waits for the them to come back up. Rima lands in the tunnel and turns around hearing movement. Chaos is frantically swiping his deadly claws at the intruder, only to have each attack dodged by the man's amazing speed. Chaos's wings barely fit in the tunnel. In his anger and frustration, Chaos attempts to tackle the man to the ground.

While Chaos charges at him the man pulls something out of his cloak. Chaos crashes into the man but is overpowered as the man forces the two into a roll. Chaos back hits the ground. The man quickly stands up and thrusts something into the demon's chest. A moment later the demon is being shocked by thousands of volts of electricity. The demon roars in pain as he's shocked.

Rima sees her chance and charges at the enemy. The man hears the vampire's swift advance and turns around to charge at her as well. The two forces crash, but the Rima's strength is outmatched as the man's pushes her back. Rima slashes at the man with her daggers. The man's movement is nothing more then a blur in front of her as he evades the deadly daggers. "Die damn you!" Rima yells as she attempts a slide slash.

Her opponent ducks and trips her in the process. Chaos stands back up once the electrifying mechanism detaches from his chest. The man glances back at Chaos before glancing up to the hole he came through. Rima growls in anger as she sends her right foot flying towards the man's side. The man jumps up through the hole before the attack reaches him.

The man jumps through the hole and up to the second floor. Everyone quickly pulls their weapons out to defend themselves. "Get back here!" They here an extremely pissed off vampire shout as she jumps through the hole in the floor. The man briefly glances down towards her. A moment later he jumps backwards, through the mansion's huge windows. Rima runs up the stairs, "YOU'RE MINE!" She calls out before giving pursuit.

"Where's Chaos?" Tifa asks. A second after her question they here a monstrous roar before Chaos bursts through a part of the floor. Wood flies through the mansion as Chaos flies through the air.

"Um... there." Zack answers dumbly.

Chaos looks around a moment before seeing the broken glass. A moment later he flies through the glass and tries to catch up.

"Should we try to help them?" Yuffie asks unsure.

Red XIII shakes his head, "It would be meaningless for us to chase after them. They're all much faster then us." Red XIII points out.

"So what do we do?" Tifa asks.

Red XIII begins walking down the stairs, he turns his head back to look at his friends, "We wait for Vincent and Rima to return. Chaos is smart enough to know when to retreat." Red XIII replies.

"I noticed you didn't mention Rima's name in that last part." Zack says.

"I don't know how Rima acts in battle when she's... different."

Yuffie sighs as she crosses her arms in annoyance, "This sucks" She mutters to herself. "Who the hell is this guy anyway!?" Yuffie exclaims, throwing her hands up in frustration.

"I believe this answers your question Yuffie." Red XIII says from downstairs. Everyone shares a bewildered look before running down the stairs to see what he's talking about. They find him at the bottom of the stairs, gazing at the wall to the right. Carved on the wall with some sort of blade the silent predator wrote his name, 'Malice.'

{}

{}

Chaos soars through the sky as he hunts for his enemy. His keen eyes scan the land as he flies above. 'To much for you to handle?' Vincent's voice suddenly breaks into the demons mind.

Chaos growls in anger, 'Quiet human.' From inside his head the demon can feel Vincent smirk. So now the man is taunting the demon? Who ever said Vincent can't have some fun? Chaos spots something in the distance, causing the demon to pick up his speed. As he gets closer he sees that it's two figures fighting. One of them is his enemy the other is the vampire, which he has not yet decided whether to attack or not.

Rima is suddenly knocked away from Malice with a powerful punch in the stomach. The vampire merely winces in pain and gives her opponent a smirk as he charges towards her. With a quick flick of the wrist, Rima sends one of her dagger flying towards Malice. The dagger hits its mark, making Malice fall to the ground. Rima laughs a bit, 'And that's it everyone!' She declares victory. After all, having a dagger imbedded in your forehead would kill anyone.

To the vampire's shock and disappointment, Malice begins to stand back up. Getting to his feet Malice lifts his head up. Rima's eyes widen in amazement as she sees the man pulls the dagger out of his forehead. She's amazed for two reasons. For one, she managed to get a glimpse of the man's face. The man's eyes are all white, much like a blind person's. And two, when Malice pulled the dagger out, no blood followed. It's like this man doesn't have blood. The dagger he pulled out of his forehead is as clean as it was when Rima threw it.

Malice examines the dagger in his hand, seemingly fascinated with the blade. An insane looking smirk crosses his features before he throws the dagger back to its owner. Rima's caught off guard and isn't able to react. She yells in pain as the dagger imbeds itself in her left shoulder. Rima winces in pain as she races her right hand to the dagger. Holding her breath, she pulls the dagger out of her shoulder, letting the blood flow freely out of the wound.

Malice slowly advances on her, his hand outstretched in front of him. Flames travel in a spiral around his arm and gathers up in his palm, creating a fireball. A roar is heard and Malice quickly turns to the side and throws the fireball at Chaos, head on. The fireball explodes on the demon chest. Chaos falls through the air, leaving a tail of smoke above him. Rima lunges at Malice when he's distracted. Her arms wrap around his side as she sinks her fangs into his neck. Despite not bleeding when the dagger was imbedded into his forehead, Rima does taste something in her mouth when she bites down into his flesh. But it certainly isn't any kind of blood she's ever tasted.

Rima jumps off of Malice and spits the vile fluid out of her mouth. Rima's eyes travel to Malice's neck, where she bit him. Glowing green fluid drips from the wound she inflected on him. Malice raises his hand to his neck and touches the wound. He brings his hand out in front of his face, as if to examine the glowing substance. He brings his hand to his face and licks it clean.

Chaos stands back up. Without any hesitation he charges at Malice. Malice quickly pulls something out of his trench coat and throws it to the ground. Rima shields her eyes as the flash-bomb explodes, temporarily blinding everyone in the area. When the light fades, Malice is gone. Rima clutches her head in pain as she turns back to normal. When she's finished changing she turns around to see Vincent already transformed, standing behind her. Rima's shoots Vincent a glare before brushing passed him in the direction of the mansion.

Early the next morning the group heads off into Mt. Nibel. Their destination is Rocket Town in hopes to find some source of transportation across the ocean. Being an experienced guide in the mountains from when she was younger, Tifa leads the group through the mountains. "Remember everyone, this bridge isn't what it used to be." Tifa warns as she begins to walk across the bridge.

Yuffie rolls her eyes at Tifa, "GAWD, It's not like we haven't been here before Tifa. We know our way around."

Zack grins nervously as he walks onto the old rigid bridge, "I remember the last time I walked across this. The ropes snapped and we all fell." Zack gives a short laugh feeling uncomfortable about being on the bridge again.

Everyone remains silent after Zack mentions his tale. Everyone just focuses on trying to get across the bridge. 'Half way there.' Tifa thinks to herself, trying not to look down. So what if she used to be a guide, it doesn't mean she can't be afraid of heights. Tifa glances up to see she's just a few feet from the end. She gives a sigh of relief as she jumps onto sturdy ground. She waits for everyone else to get off the bridge. She gives everyone a warm smile, "See? That wasn't so bad."

Red XIII glances towards Tifa, "Maybe for a human it isn't. But I can't grab onto anything." Red XIII points out.

Tifa shrugs, "Well we're almost out of here. so let's just get through this cave and off this mountain. Tifa says as she walks into the mountain's cave. The group soon follows. The cave is just like they all remember it. Cold and wet. There's steps that someone created a long time ago made from wood. They walk down them and pass underneath the piping.

Rima follows from the back of the group. She scans the cave, looking out for any monsters that could be around. The cave seems fairly empty though, they haven't run into any creatures that pose a threat to them. Rima stops as she senses something familiar. She senses his presence close by. There's no mistaking it... Sephiroth is near. But where? Rima turns her gaze to the right, where a metal hatch stands. The door leading to the Mako Reactor outside.

"Hey Rima, you coming or not?" Zack asks. Rima blinks out of her daze and turns towards the group. The entire group is starring at her, waiting for her to follow. Rima brows lower in thought before she opens up the hatch and walks outside.

"Hey, that's the wrong way! That leads to the Mako Reactor!" Tifa calls out as the group runs to catch up with her.

{}

{}

How long has he been here? A day? A week? Two weeks? Cloud has no idea. He lost track of time when he went into this tank. The only thing he has while sitting in the mako tank is his dreams. His dreams and thoughts are all that he has now. When will he be able to get out? Will this truly be enough to defeat Vain? Those questions were running through his head before the tank suddenly opens up and throws him down on the cold metal flooring of the reactor.

Cloud groans sickly. "Has it been two weeks?" He asks aloud.

"No. The reactor no longer has power. It's a week early." Sephiroth's voice comes from his side. Footsteps are heard as he walks towards Cloud.

Cloud sits up and rubs his eyes, trying to rid himself of the blurriness. He glances up to the half naked Sephiroth. Cloud's eyes widen, "What the hell is that!?" He cries out in horror, pointing at Sephiroth.

Sephiroth glances to what Cloud is pointing at, he looks back to Cloud. "What? You have one too, or have you not noticed it yet?" Sephiroth says calmly.

"What?" Cloud looks, he jumps to his feet in surprise, "AH! That was NOT there when I went in! What the hell is it!" Cloud says as he touches it, "Hey... it's soft."

Sephiroth ignores the last comment Cloud made but answer the question. "Consider it the source of your strength. You should be able to make it disappear." Sephiroth states.

Cloud glances back to Sephiroth, his brows raise in surprise, "Hey.. yours disappeared." Cloud concentrates on his making it twitch a bit. Cloud grins in amusement, "Look! It Moved!" Cloud announces cheerfully.

Sephiroth sighs shaking his head before he walks over to his sword and discarded cape. He hears Cloud talking to himself, and then shouting 'It's gone!'

{}

{}

"Rima why are we in here?" Yuffie asks as they follow the silent woman throw the reactor. They climb down the chains and walk across the walkway towards Jenova's Chamber. Yuffie and the rest of the group just follow Rima in confusion. Rima begins to pick up her pace, causing everyone to go into a jog to catch up with her. They run into the room and freeze in shock.

"Cloud!?" Tifa and Yuffie call out in confusion. They could tell Cloud is in danger. Sephiroth is standing in front of him, the Masamune in his hand. Cloud's weapon is leaning against one of the tanks, out of his reach, leaving him defenseless.

"Sephiroth!" Rima says between clenched teeth. Both Sephiroth and Cloud look to the group in surprise. Without a moment of hesitation, Vincent pulls the Death Penalty out and fires his gun at Sephiroth.
