Hello everyone! How's it going out there on this nifty day? Well I'm just happy that's it's the weekend, believe me, it has been one extremely boring week at school, Especially for shop ,all we've doing in Diesel Technology class is going over safety, the same exact thing we've already seen for the passed two years. You'd think they wouldn't make us go over all that crap again, but oh well.

Question Time! From our dear friend Dragonlord

1)How is it Cyrus survived the fall when Rima casted Quake?

A)Heh heh, who says he did hmm?

2)How come Cyrus still doesn't bleed?

A)Sigh.. have I heard this one before? Ok, I thought most of you would get this before I just came out and told you.... but I'm not telling yet, you'll have to wait and find out all of Malice's little secrets lol. But y'all smart out there, look at the hints I'm giving you.. Yuffie's Conformer and Rima's daggers... doesn't bleed.... Cloud's blade beam... bleeds... hmm.. whatever could this mean?

3)When infused, or in this case, I'd say drowned in Mako, tends to make a person...mad (Is that the word) Take Cloud for example. So, how come Cyrus wasn't effected?

A)Whoa... O.o not effected? Um.. ok lol, if you say so. Well now, I assume you're talking about when Cloud got Mako poisoning correct? He was all like 'Ugh er... what number am I?' Cloud was extra screwed up because he had Jenova cells in him, and because of Sephiroth controlling him at one time, making him believe that he was indeed a failed Sephiroth Clone. That's why Cloud was so Fed up in the game.

4) Last and least, how did Cyrus know about the Wutianese chant, and their effect, and that either killing Dregon OR Yuffie would end the threat, since he himself is not Wutainease.

A) I'll answer this even though it would be in later chapter anyways, but it's no big secret really, doesn't really spoil anything. Anyways let me put it simply. Lifestream stream of knowledge. Remember in the game at the temple of Ancients, where Sephiroth is talking about being the traveler of the Lifestream, and that he has knowledge of the Ancients because of it, and that of people long before the Ancients? Yea well, there's your answer, Lifestream has all the knowledge of the world in it, if I'm remembering correctly from the game that is.

Now anyways, sorry I didn't really answer all the questions, but remember the old saying, 'Patience is a virtue' All answers shall be reveal in do time my friends.

Disclaimer-Sephiroth- (Stands behind Zack and looks over his shoulder to see what he's writing) Plans to take..

(Covers up paper) Sephiroth! What the hell you doing here!

Sephiroth-(Crosses arms) Die was annoying the hell out of me.

(Rubs chin in thought) Then why don't you just kill her, geez...

Sephiroth- (Smirks) That's not a bad idea... Perhaps I'll go on a Die hunt (Turns around uhsheaths the Masamune and walks away.)

(Sweatdrops) Whoa whoa whoa! I was....just... kidding... (Shakes head) Baka.. Oh well, it's been getting too quiet around here anyway. Oh yea... (Gets a piece of paper and writes something down) I-Don't-Own-Final-Fantasy-7.. (Smirks) Didn't have to say it! heeheehee... I wonder if Sephiroth was serious about hunting Die down..... (Chuckles) Perhaps I'll send someone to hunt down Sephiroth for laughs. (Dials up a number) This is Zack, I got a job for you. How about you go hunt down Sephiroth.... (Sweatdrops) Yea Pretty Boy... why do you call him that anyways?... Yea he does look girlie Heh heh heh.

Chapter 64- Deeper Underground

Malice's lips curl into an insane smirk, his white eyes seem to glow as he stares down at Rima, with an insane look. He holds up his nightstick, the end of it pointing towards Rima. Suddenly a thins blade slides out of the nightstick. "Cyrus..." Rima snaps out of her surprised daze just before Malice thrusts his nightstick down. Rima rolls to the side, tossing a dagger at Malice in the process. Malice straightens up and pulls the dagger out of his neck. Rima stands ready for Malice's next attack. Malice glances down at the dagger in his hand, the smirk never leaving his face.

Malice throws the dagger back at Rima with all his might. Rima's eyes widen in surprise as she raises her left hand up in an attempt to catch it. Rima gives a short shout of pain and hunches over, her right hand wrapped around her left wrist as she stares at the dagger impaled through her hand. Blood drips down onto the rocky ground. Rima glances back towards Malice, just in time to see him run back into the path. Rima grit her teeth as she yanks the dagger out of her hand before chasing after him.

"Hey, ya hear that?" Daisuke asks stopping in her tracks. "Sounded like a scream." Sephiroth doesn't say anything before taking off a dead sprint. Daisuke's eyes widen in surprise before she takes off as well, "Dun go thinkin' ya can leave me behind Pretty Boy!"

The two run through the paths, making their way towards the direction they think the scream came from. As they make their way towards the end of the tunnel they see two figures standing at the end, one low to the ground while the other is standing behind him. Cloud and Red XIII look up toward Sephiroth and Daisuke. "Aright blondie, what's goin on?"

Cloud raises one eyebrow at the nickname, "Red is trying to catch Yuffie's scent so we can track her down." Cloud glances down at Red XIII who's sniffing the entire cave floor, "You get anything Red?" Cloud asks hopefully.

"Yes... it's Yuffie and..." Red XIII's nose scrunches up with each sniff at the cave floor. Red XIII lifts his head up and sits on his hunches "It appears Dregon is here as well."

"Dregon.." Cloud spits the name out in disgust, his fists clench at his sides as the anger boils up inside him. Cloud's anger suddenly disappears as a thought goes through his mind, "Why would Dregon want Yuffie? He already tried this once before. There's nothing else he could get from her." In the back of Cloud's mind, a not too old memory about the time he was trying to kill Yuffie when he was being controlled flashes through his mind.

'It's her fault, she's the reason Vain was able to perform Le Cas Fo Gollost. She might know something else that will help Vain, I must kill her.'

Cloud banishes the memory away with a shake of his head. That's something he'd rather forget. He almost killed Yuffie that day. Sephiroth crosses his arms and glances around the tunnel, his brows lower in question, "Where's Rima?"

Cloud's brows raise at the question, "That's right.." Cloud replies, just remembering about Rima, "Those two were paired up. And if Yuffie and Dregon were here, then where's Rima."

"I believe we should stay on Yuffie's track, Rima is not one to be concerned for, she's fully capable of taking care of herself." Red XIII says wisely.

Daisuke jumps from foot to foot, getting impatient with all the waiting, "So are we goin to do somethin or aren't we? What'd we all just standin 'round for? Shouldn't we be trackin your friend down?"

"She's right." Cloud agrees, "Red, can you follow Yuffie's trail?"

Red XIII nods his head once before he follows Yuffie's scent. The small group follows Red XIII as he makes his way down the one of the many tunnels in the Mythril Caves. The caves have an eerie silence as they walk through it, the only sounds being their steps and water dripping to the cave floor from the moisture buildup on the rocky ceiling. Red XIII stops as the tunnel they're in stops in what appears to be a dead end. "Where could they have gone?" Cloud asks confused looking around the tunnel.

"Could this be where that fellow went?" Daisuke asks walking to the side of the tunnel. At the side of the tunnel is what appears to be a wide crack, wide enough for someone to squeeze through sideways. Daisuke tests it out, she sidesteps into it, doing her best to avoid the sharp edges, "I bet they went through here. I can se an end."

Red XIII walks over to the crack and sniffs about. After getting a good whiff of the scents in the area, he nods his head to conform his suspicions. Red XIII turns around and sits on his hunches, "She's correct. Their scents are present in it. You'll have to go through. Unfortunately, I can't go any further. I won't be able to fit."

Cloud crosses his arms; lowering his head in thought, "Alright... make your way back to the Highwind and wait for us there." Cloud orders.

"Very well, I shall wait on the Highwind." With that said, Red XIII runs down the tunnel, his fiery tail visible the whole time until he turns a corner.

Cloud turns to Sephiroth, "Are you coming or are you going to search for Rima?" He asks, knowing that the dark swordsman is most likely worried about her.

"......" Sephiroth brushes passed Cloud and squeezes through the crack, he lowers his head to lock eyes with Daisuke. Sephiroth narrows his eyes at the treasure hunter, "Go." He orders coldly. Cloud shakes his head before walking over and squeezing through the crack as well.

They take small side steps, the sharp edges of the rock scraping against their backs and chests as they move along, leaving small scratches on their bodies where small droplets of blood escapes through. Cloud's brows lower in question as they continue to make their way through the narrow path, "Is it me, or does it seem like we're going down?"

"This is on a slope." Sephiroth answers simply as they continue on.

"I see a light!" Daisuke exclaims, "We're almost out of this bloody mess."

Cloud's face twists in confusion, "A light? In a cave?"

Daisuke lets out a breath of relief as she squeezes out of the narrow, jagged, path they were forced to go through, "Finally!"

Sephiroth comes out next followed closely by Cloud. Cloud eyes widen in amazement as he looks around the bright cavern. The 'light' as Daisuke had called it earlier, is actually the bright glow of the Lifestream. Two large pools of the Lifestream are in the cavern, one on each side of the small path in the middle of the cavern. The glowing green stream seems to be coming out of the sides of the cavern, only to drip down into the pools at the bottom. And on the other side of the cavern are three people, two men and one person thrown over one of the men's shoulder. Both looking at some sort of inscription in the cavern wall.

Cloud's eyes blaze up in fury when he sees Yuffie's unconscious form thrown over Dregon's right shoulder. The man on Dregon's left, lets out an all too familiar chuckle, one that Cloud was hoping he'd never have to hear again by the late Professor Hojo. "Dregon!" Cloud shouts in anger.

The two men turn around to see that they have visitors. Dregon immediately smirks at the three, "Ah Mr. Strife, a pleasure meeting you once again." He greets like his old self. "I suppose I should thank you all for taking care of Vain, although I was going to do it myself soon anyway."

"None of that matters" Cloud says, "Let Yuffie go now."

Dregon cups his chin and raises his head in thought, "Yes, Miss Kisaragi has something I want. Once I get it, I shall send her to you." Dregon's face darkens, his amber eyes seem to give off a frightening glow, "After I have my fun with her that is."

Cloud grits his teeth in anger. Hojo chuckles silently to himself as his eyes glance around the trio, studying each of them. His eyes fall on Sephiroth's form causing him to laugh once again, "My son Sephiroth, tee hee hee.. with the failure, this is something I truly never thought I'd see."

Sephiroth's hand goes to the hilt of the Masamune, "Hojo... I will kill you."

Hojo's laughter only grows, "You!? You're willing to kill your own father? The only family you have? The one you spent years wishing for but never could have?" Hojo crosses his arms, cupping his chin and lowering his head in thought, "Hmm... "

A smirk crosses Sephiroth's lips, "To kill the father that did nothing for me, would be the greatest event in my life." Sephiroth narrows his emerald eyes, "You led me to Jenova, knowing I'd find her. You led me to believe she was my real mother. You made my life in more then one way, Hojo, death is the only price you can pay."

"That's all very interesting and everything, but I must be on my way." Dregon cuts in, stopping the family quarrel. "After all I still have to find the piece to the puzzle in here and then locate the last one."

"I knew it!" Daisuke says excitedly, "There's treasure down here! You can't have it! It's mine and mine alone!"

Dregon ignores the treasure hunter and turns his gaze to Hojo, "Keep them busy for awhile." Dregon turns back to the group, "Well then, if you'll excuse me." Dregon turns around and begins heading up the path on his side of the cavern.

"Yuffie!" Cloud shouts, immediately taking off for the other side of the cavern. A smirk crosses Hojo's face as he watches Cloud run to his side, 'Moron.' In a flash, Cloud is blown into one of the pools of the Lifestream. Cloud shakes his head, clearing the daze he was in from the blow. Cloud stands up, his clothes soaked from the Lifestream, the pool is only knee high on him. Cloud glances around the cavern in confusion, his hand on the hilt of his Ultimate Weapon, "What hit me?"

Two men land onto the ground and in front of Hojo, seemingly coming from somewhere above. Surprise dances across Cloud's eyes as he stares at the two clones of himself, standing in front of him. "What the..." Is all Cloud can say.

Hojo chuckles at Cloud's stunned state, "Surprised? You think you were locked in a cell six months for nothing?" Hojo's laughs again, his eyes filled with mirth. "These two represent the last of the clones I've created." Hojo cups his chin, lowering his head in thought, "I was mistaken in thinking that clones of yourself would be stronger then the Sephiroth clones I created long ago. After all, you did defeat Sephiroth, yet this experiment proves to me that he's still stronger then you. No matter, your clones and Sephiroth's, are nothing compared to what shall come." Hojo's wicked laughter fills the cavern.

Daisuke turns her head towards Sephiroth, "Well Pretty Boy? Ya think ya can take care of them?"

Sephiroth unsheathes his mighty Masamune, Cloud follows suite and unsheathes his Ultimate Weapon. "Tee hee hee hee..." Hojo takes runs off into the path Dregon went up a few minutes ago.

Daisuke unsheathes both her butterfly swords, "Hey blondie." Daisuke calls out to Cloud. Cloud and both his clones glance over to Daisuke, "Leave these two to me an Pretty Boy. You go after that Dregon fellow."

Cloud looks over to Sephiroth questioningly. Sephiroth gives a short nod, agreeing with the plan. Sephiroth lunges forward at the clone on the left while Daisuke goes after the one on the right. Cloud takes off through the passage Dregon and Hojo walked into. The sounds of steel clashing behind him as the fighting begins.

Footsteps echo off the steel walls of the Highwind as Tifa heads towards the sickbay. In her right hand she's carrying a bowl with warm water and in her left she's carrying a white washcloth. She reaches the door of the sickbay and opens it up. She glances over to the blonde Turk sitting next to Reno's bed as he sleeps. Tifa walks over to Elena and holds things in her hands, "Here you go."

"Thank you." Elena grabs the bowl and washcloth and places them on the small table next to the bed. Elena stands up and leans over the unconscious Reno. She begins unbuttoning the Turk's white dress shirt. "That medication really knocked him out." Elena says laughing a little. Tifa gives an amused smile as Elena takes off the bandages on Reno's shoulder. Elena grabs the washcloth and puts it in the bowl. She wrings most of the water out of the washcloth before cleaning Reno's shoulder wound, wiping away the dried up blood around the wound. "So where's Vincent?" Elena asks, trying to pass the time with a little conversation.

"Outside on the deck watching for anyone to return." Tifa replies as she takes a seat on a spare chair in the room. A smile cross Tifa's lips as she watches Elena, "So... what's with you and Reno?" She asks suddenly.

Elena lowers her head, trying to hide her red face, "I don't know what you're talking about." Elena puts the washcloth on the small table and takes out some fresh bandages. She begins bandaging up his wound, while at the same time trying to avoid Tifa's gaze.

Crimson eyes continue to scan the surrounding area around the Highwind. 'You take things too serious.' Chaos's voice rings through Vincent's mind. Vincent's brows lower in annoyance with the demon's presence, still angry with him about the whole Rima thing. Vincent just ignores the demon, like he's been doing for a while now. Chaos cackles, 'The silent treatment doesn't work on me. Not when it's coming from someone who says less then a child just learning to speak.'

Vincent raises his human hand up to the side off his neck and rubs it, feeling something moist on it. He pulls his hand away and looks at his hand to see his blood on his fingers. Vincent's brows lower in question. This is the third time since Rima bit him that the marks have just suddenly bled for no apparent reason. It's beginning to annoy the gunslinger. 'Why does it bleed?'

'Vampires turn others into a vampire by passing the virus on with a bite. A virus that can't be totally destroyed.' Chaos replies. 'The virus is purged out of your body, but the smallest bit of it remains and slowly spreads, the only way to fight it is to purge it out.'

'How long will this go on?'

'Until you body builds up a stronger immunity to the virus.'

A flash of amusement dances across Vincent's crimson eyes, 'You know a lot about vampires Chaos.' Vincent's brows lower in confusion when he feels Chaos shift uncomfortably within his mind.

'Well I shout know...'

'And why's that?'

Vincent can picture Chaos rolling his eyes at him, 'Think Valentine. What am I? What kind of demon am I?'

'........The King of Demons' Vincent answers.

Vincent can feel amusement coming from Chaos from the answer he gave 'Besides that. What do I look like to you?'

Vincent closes his eyes in thought and pictures Chaos. The demon has deadly claws, razor sharp teeth, darker shade of crimson eyes then Vincent's. The demon's skin black as night. Then Vincent pictures the two huge bat-like wings that sprout from Chaos's back. Vincent opens his eyes, blinking a few times to get them back into focus, 'You look like a giant bat.'

Chaos's laughter rings throughout Vincent's mind. Vincent waits for the demon comment. 'Well that's not too far off from what I am.' Chaos answers, his voice filled with mirth. 'What's usually associated with bats in stories?' Chaos answers.

'........vampires?' Vincent replies uncertainly.

'I'm what you can consider the last of the ancient demons. What people see when they think of us is the vampires. I'm from a time when vampires were demons. In this day, vampires are just a human infected with our DNA. I don't know how and when it began, but humans began to be effected by a wound that would be infected by my kind. That's how the things you call vampires turn into what they are now.'

Confusion sets in Vincent's mind as he ponders the demon's words. 'You said 'our kind' and you seem to be saying that you aren't a vampire. But something else.'

'That's because the word, 'vampire' is not what we are called. You humans placed that label on. Humans forgot the true name of our race. The truth of the matter is that, vampire is just a disease.'

Vincent's brows lower in thought. True he never knew much about the demon inhabiting his mind, but he wasn't expecting something like this, 'If vampires are just an evolved version of your kind or what ever you mean, then why do you need to purge the virus? Wouldn't it not affect you?'

Chaos's cackle rings throughout Vincent's mind, 'You seem to forget. We are not one of the same. The virus does not affect me, however, it can affect you. You are human. That's why it has to be purged until your body begins to react to the virus and make some sort of immunity to it.'

Vincent's gaze lowers down to the ground under him. He feels Chaos's presence disappear from his mind, marking the end of the discussion. Vincent brushes a few strands of ebony strands out of his eyes and continues to watch for anyone. Crimson eyes locks on a form as it runs out of the Mythril Mines.

Cloud continues to push his legs onward; desperate to get Yuffie back before Dregon has a chance to escape. He uses the lit up torches that are handing on the walls as his tracks in finding Dregon. Where there's a torch lit must mean that Dregon went down the path. Soon enough, Cloud sees the end of the path as it opens up to one of the many caverns in Mythril Mines. Cloud slows down his stride to a stealthy walk; wanting to find out what Dregon is planning on doing. He stops outside the entrance of the cavern, listening to the voices inside it. Cloud peeks in to see what's going on.

Dregon, still holding the unconscious Yuffie, and Hojo, are both standing in front of a stone alter. "This is it." Dregon says, his voice filled with mirth, "There's only one more left."

Hojo's shoulders tremble as he's overcome by his silent laughter, "Yes... the whereabouts of the remaining piece is somewhere outside of the Great Glacier."

'Outside Great Glacier.' Cloud repeats in his mind, taking note to remember it.

"With this girl I will have the ultimate power under my control. No one will be able to stand against it." Dregon speaks with confidence.

Hojo crosses his arms; lowering his head in thought, "Hmm... I wonder..."

"What is it Hojo?" Dregon asks.

Hojo shakes his head, waving him off with his hand, "Just something from an old text I've read. It's of no importance to us." Hojo replies, his face neutral.

'What are they talking about?' Cloud thinks to himself. It's taking all of his willpower to not jump out and attack them and take Yuffie back. But experience taught him one important thing. Gather as much information on your enemies. Cloud didn't do this when this first began, many lives were taken from his foolish mistake.

Dregon's eyes narrow the very slightest in suspicion, after all, Hojo is known for his manipulative nature. Dregon shakes his head, ridding his mind of any thoughts about the professor's plans. "You will be able to get what I need from the girl, right?"

A sly smirk crosses Hojo's lips, "Of course, nothing a little prick of a needle can't handle." Hojo bends forward to get a better look at Yuffie's face. "Tee hee hee, she'll make a good guinea pig afterwards."

Cloud grinds his teeth, his eye twitching at the same time. He knows what Hojo is implying when he's saying 'She'll make a good guinea pig' He's not going to let him lay any of his scummy disgusting foul hands on Yuffie. 'I've heard enough.' Cloud says to himself. He reaches over his shoulder, grabbing the hilt of the Ultimate Weapon. He walks into the cavern, unsheathing the Ultimate Weapon in the process. "Let Yuffie go!" Cloud demands, startling the two men.

Dregon quickly turns around to see who has interrupted them. A smirk plays across his face when he sees Cloud, "Ah, Mr. Strife. A pleasure meeting you again. Although I wasn't expecting you so soon. As I told you before, you'll get her back once I get what I want from her."

"You aren't getting anything!" Cloud lunges forward, raising the Ultimate Weapon over his head. Cloud slashes down as Dregon raises his free hand up. The Ultimate Weapon and Cloud for that matter both stop. Cloud struggles to break from Dregon's mind powers, 'Shit! I forgot!'

Dregon gives Cloud a bored look, "You'll have to be more original, this is beginning to bore me." Cloud is tossed across the cavern, crashing into the rocky wall. Cloud pushes himself up off the ground; he holds the Ultimate Weapon out in front of himself, ready to defend. Dregon gives a half amused grin and waves his hands out in front of him. All the torches in the cavern are blown out from a strong gust. "I don't have time to play with you. However..." Cloud's grip on the Ultimate Weapon tightens as several pairs of crimson eyes begin appearing in the cavern, "These are more then happy to play with you." Dregon chuckles to himself, "Hojo, let's go. this path leads to the surface." The two men walk into another path, leaving Cloud with the hadions.

Cloud's eyes go side to side, watching as the hadions close in on him. "Die...die...die." The hadions chant as they circle around him. Cloud pushes the button on the bottom of the hilt of the Ultimate Weapon. The Ultimate Weapon's blade gives off a soft glow. The hadions pause in there advance for a moment before closing in on him. Cloud brings his right foot back, drawing the Ultimate Weapon to his side, in one swift motion he strike at a hadion.

Rima ignores the pain in her hand and her throbbing calves as she tries to keep up with the dark figure ten feet in front of her. Although Rima's in her vampire form, she's still having trouble keeping up with Malice. And even though Yuffie is safe from Malice by now, Rima can't let him get away, not after she found out the truth, that Malice is what used to be her older brother Cyrus. People say that you should never let the past control you, that you can't change what happened. Rima never had a past until a few weeks ago when she began remembering things, some good memories, and some she'd rather forget.

Rima notices the dull moonlight out the entrance of the cave as Malice intends to leave the Mythril Mines. Malice runs out of the mines, turning to the side of the entrance. Rima pushes herself to carry herself faster. She runs out of the mines and stops. She scans the area for any trace of Malice. Rima ignores the fact she's gasping for air, and that her heart feels like its about to burst from her chest. She can feel blood tickle the tips of her fingers on her right hand as blood drips to the ground. "Where did he go..." She asks herself quietly after finding no trace of Malice.

Rima stops breathing as she faintly hears talking. Without a moment of hesitation she takes of in the direction she hears the voices. She skids to a halt as two men walk out of the mines, one carrying a familiar ninja over his shoulder. But Rima doesn't notice this. Her entire being is focused on the man walking behind the other. Rima's breath quickens once again, not from exertion this time. Rage begins to boil up within her as her crimson eyes seem to glow even more brightly then before. Rima's clenches her hands tightly, ignoring the pain of her claws digging into her palms and the blood that comes begins to flow out of both her palms.

Nothing in the world matters to Rima more then the man standing in front of her. Right now, nothing in this world is worth her time except this man. The man she despises most, the man she vowed to take her revenge on, the man who's life she'll take right now. "Hojo..." Rima literally hisses his name out.

Dregon and Hojo stop in their trek and turn around to face Rima. Dregon readjusts Yuffie's weight on his shoulder, "And who are you?" Dregon asks clearly annoyed, although to be honest with himself, the bloody gaze of the woman was a bit frightening to even him.

Hojo crosses his arms, cupping his chin in one hand as he looks Rima up and down, "Hmm... interesting..." He says thinking aloud, "You look.... familiar...." Hojo's shoulders shake as he silently laughs.

'What's she doing out here?' Vincent thinks to himself as he sees Rima. He watches as she takes off even further away from the Highwind, only to stop again as two men walk out of the mines. Vincent's eyes flash with recognition as he notices Dregon carrying Yuffie and 'Hojo!' Anger wells up inside the ex-Turk. Without a second thought, Vincent leaps over the railing of the deck. His crimson cape and ebony hair whipping the air above his head as he drops to the ground.

Hojo's eyes flash with recognition as he finally remembers who the woman standing in front of him is. This only causes Hojo to laugh even more, "So my guinea pig has come back to me." Hojo states as a smirk crosses his lips.

Dregon looks on between the two, a bored expression on his face. "Professor, the pick up will be here at any second. Do hurry this up."

"You're life is mine Hojo." Rima says as she pulls out two daggers from inside her trench coat. "I'll kill you for what you've done."

"Oh? And what did I do?" Hojo asks beginning to get bored. Can you blame him? He's heard the same thing said by many others before.

"For turning me into this!" Rima shouts!

Hojo silently laughs as a half amused smile crosses his lips, "That? You want to kill me for that? What I did was quicken what would of happened eventually, and you want to kill me for it? Nonsense." Hojo rubs his chin in thought, "Now I'd understand killing me for the other thing that I did." Hojo says thoughtfully.

Anger disappears as confusion sets in, "What other thing?" Rima asks not understanding.

Hojo's brows raise above his glasses in mild surprise, "You mean you didn't know?" Hojo asks. Hojo chuckles at Rima's silence. "It's your body and you didn't know?" Hojo asks in disbelief, "You must of had some sort of signs of it."

"What the hell did you do!" Rima asks, growing tired of his rambling.

"Tee hee hee hee. You honestly are a moron to not know what you were carrying inside you." Hojo says laughing.

Rima's face goes blank, "Carrying. Inside. Me?" She says uncertainly.

"Tee hee hee hee... When I had you in y lab.. hee hee hee hee... I found him.... hee hee.... and I removed him... hee hee hee hee!... I couldn't allow something of Sephiroth's such as that to enter this world hee hee hee!" Hojo's overcome with laughter.

Rima's brows lower in thought, "What does Sephiroth have to do with anything? And what do you mean you removed 'him'? Who?" Hojo rumbling just doesn't make any sense. 'What could of been inside of me that I didn't know of. And how would it be something of Sephir....' All thoughts cease in Rima's mind as her crimson eyes goes as wide as possible.

"Tee hee hee hee... I see you finally understand." Hojo comments.

'He took.. I was... Sephiroth's... ' Rima can't make a single coherent thought go through her mind. The sound a running motor and the screeching of brakes, not going registering in Rima's mind.

"Our ride is here." Dregon states. A gun shot rings throughout the area. Dregon winces as a bullets graces his right cheek. He glances behind the frozen woman to the crimson and black blur making it's way towards them. "Damnit. It's Valentine. Hojo let's go!" Dregon states running towards the buggy that pulled up. Hojo glances at Rima a moment longer, laughter still coursing throughout his body before he races towards the buggy.

The buggy speeds off as Vincent reaches Rima. He fires a couple of desperate shots at the buggy before giving up on it and holsters his Death Penalty. "They have Yuffie." Vincent states, his voice monotone. He glances over to the distressed woman beside him as she says the first thing that she's able to.

"I was pregnant with Sephiroth's son." Vincent's brows raise in surprise.
