I don't own Final Fantasy 7.
Chapter 12: The first Jenova
The group ran into the lobby and looked for the way to the upper part of the tower.
Red: this way!
The group followed Red to a staircase and started to climb up.
Barret: I hope this isn't as high as the Shinra building.
Vincent: it's not.
Cloud: it's higher.
Barret: I'm not gonna make it.
Red: 50th floor.
Barret: oh my legs…
Vincent: stop complaining and get a move on.
Barret: shut up vampire boy.
Vincent: ggrrr..
Barret: you guy go on with out me.
Everyone beside Barret: SHUT UP BARRET AND MOVE IT!!
Barret: gulp.
They reached the top of the stairs, opened the door, and stepped inside.
Barret: scared now Cait?
Cait: yeah… a little.
The room was long and lined with pods with clear tubes running into them, and green glowing stuff going through the tubes and into the pods.
Yuffie: uuhh guys…
Vincent: I wonder what these pods are for?
Yuffie: guys…
Cloud: I don't know.
Yuffie: GUYS!!!
Cloud: what?
Yuffie: WHAT'S THAT!?!?!
Yuffie pointed toward the end of the room and near the ceiling. There was a large amount of spider webs hanging there, and you couldn't see through them. There was a small hole near the top with a woman's face showing, the woman looked dead.
Sam: something's wrong.
Vincent: you feel it too?
Sam: yeah.
The woman's eyes flashed opened.
Woman: why do you come here?
Sam: to kill Chaos.
Woman: you are allied with the Jenova?
Sam: what??
Woman: you are allied with the Jenova to kill Chaos, am I right?
Sam: no we are here to kill him and the Jenova.
Woman: well seeing that I'm a Jenova, you're here to kill me too?
Sam: yes.
Woman: you would have made a good puppet.
Sam: you're the first Jenova aren't you?
Woman: you're not as dumb as you look.
Sam: and if we kill you the other Jenova die right?
Woman: correct.
Sam: what is your name?
Woman: I am Marlene.
Barret: by any chance you haven't been to earth have you, in a human form?
Marlene: I have never left this planet before.
There was a burst of energy and the spider webs ripped to shreds, then floated to the floor. Marlene was about the size of a human, and mostly looked like a human beside the two tentacles coming out of her back, she wore a long black robe, black pants, and a small black bra barely covering her breasts, and one wing that looked like one of Vincent's Chaos wings.
Marlene: let's see who you all fear the most…
Marlene looked over the group, then floated to the ground.
Marlene: a man by the name of Sephiroth.
Cloud: you know him?
Marlene: only by looking into your hearts and memories. I think it's high time you all have a reunion.
Cloud: what?
Marlene: Sephiroth, fateful servant of the Jenova, come froth and protect me.
There was a flash of light that temporally blinded the group. When they could see again they all turned toward Marlene, in front of her stood Sephiroth.
Cloud: you're alive…
Tifa: oh no…
Barret: shit…
Sephiroth: Strife what a surprise to see you here.
Marlene: kill them.
Sephiroth ignored her and kept talking.
Sephiroth: the ancient I thought I killed you.
Aeris: well you didn't.
Sephiroth: I won't miss this time.
Marlene: kill them.
Sephiroth turned to Marlene.
Sephiroth: who are you to boss me around?
Marlene: I am the first Jenova, your mother's mother.
Sephiroth: I thought Jenova was one person, that being my mother.
Sam: they're an species.
Sephiroth: interesting…
Marlene: I command you to kill them.
Sephiroth: you do not give me orders.
Marlene: I will do as I please.
Sephiroth: wrench.
Sephiroth's masumane seemed to catch fire.
Sephiroth: die…
Sephiroth swung his sword down through Marlene's head, through her body and out from her bottom part of her body. She body caught fire, and turned to ashes in less than a minute.
Cloud: you killed her.
Sephiroth: don't think it was to help you.
Sam: not to ruin your bad boy image, but you just wiped out all of the Jenova.
Sephiroth: you're saying that was the last one?
Sam: no, she was the first Jenova and if she died all the other Jenova would too, and since you killed her they are dead now too, so in general you just saved trillions of people and planets for the Jenova plague, so thanks for wiping out the Jenova for us.
Cloud: how does it feel to do something good for once in your life?
Sephiroth: so if mother were still alive I could have killed her too?
Sam: one the Jenova you thought was your mother isn't your mother, two is she was alive you did kill her.
Sephiroth: she wasn't my mother?
Sam: no.
Sephiroth: who was my mother?
Vincent: her name was Lucuria.
Sephiroth: and my father?
Vincent: Hojo.
Sephiroth: THAT FOOL IS MY FATHER?!?!?!
Vincent: yes….
Sam: actually no…
Vincent and Sephiroth: then who is?
Sam: the scientist working with Hojo thought that it would be better to tell him it was his son, because they knew he would hurt Lucuria and kill the real father so they told Hojo Sephiroth was his real son, but that's far from the truth.
Cloud: then who's the lunatic's dad?
Sam: we all know him…
Sephiroth: stop playing around.
Just then the door behind them opened. And the group turned to face the person who came into the room.
Aeris: Hojo!!
Hojo: it's true Sephiroth's not my son… nor is his brother.
Sephiroth: I have a brother?
Hojo: yes he was being trained but one day I dropped him into a mako pool and he was lost, that's why you never found out about him.
Sam: so you know who the father is?
Hojo: before I tell you anything all the males take off their shirts, beside Barret, Red, Vincent, and Sephiroth.
Sam: wha?
Cloud: why?
Hojo: one of you is Sephiroth's brother.
Cloud: you joking right?
Sephiroth: one of these people is my brother, just not Cloud please god not Cloud.
Hojo: take them off.
Sam, Cloud, and Cid took off their shirts.
Hojo: turn your back toward me.
They did as told and Hojo look at each of their backs.
Hojo: I was right, one of you are Sephiroth's brother.
Tifa: well tell us who it is already.
Hojo: Sam, the tattoo on your back, how did you get it?
On Sam's lower right back there was a tattoo it kind of looked like a sword wrapped in vines and leaves and in the center there was black heart with a white J in the center.
Sam: it's been there since as long as I can remember.
Hojo: Sephiroth take off your shirt too.
Sephiroth slipped it off and turned his back to the group.
Hojo: as you can plainly see, they both have the same tattoo, that's the way we marked Jenova project experiments.
Sam: I'm Sephiroth's brother?
Hojo: yes, you were born a year and a half after Sephiroth the father impregnated Lucuria about a week before Sephiroth was born.
Cloud: do you know what that means?
Hojo: what?
Cloud: Alfena isn't your mother…
Sam: and……holy crap…
Cloud: it also means Sephiroth killed his own sister.
Sephiroth: say what?
Hojo: I don't see where you are going with this.
Sam: Aeris is my sister… and Sephiroth is my brother… that would mean Sephiroth killed his own sister.
Sephiroth: AERIS IS MY SISTER?!?!?
Sam: that's the way it looks.
Aeris: this is too weird……
Cloud: before we forget about this, who's the dad?
Hojo: aahh yes almost forgot about that……………
Vincent: well if it's not you then who is it?
Hojo: you know Vincent Valentine.
Vincent: I do?
Hojo: don't act like you don't have a clue.
Vincent: I'm not acting.
Hojo: who's the only one who went out with Lucuria beside me?
Vincent's eyes widened in sock.
Vincent: m…m……me?
Hojo: good you finally figured it out.
Sam: woa you're saying Vincent is my dad?
Hojo: yeah.
Vincent: ………………………holy…………………………crap.
Hojo: I didn't come here to tell you all this.
Sam: then why are you here?
Hojo pulled out two needles with a black liquid in them.
Sam: ok what the hell are those for?
Hojo: you and Sephiroth.
Sephiroth: I hate needles.
Sam: same here.
Hojo: trust me you'll need the effects of the shot to kill Chaos.
Sam: fine I'm in.
Sephiroth: yeah I guess I am too.
Hojo: good.
Hojo walked up to Sephiroth rolled up his sleeve and injected the liquid into his veins, then went to Sam and did the same.
Sam: I don't feel any different.
Sephiroth: nor do I.
Hojo: you'll feel the effects in a minute.
Sam: will it be fast?
Hojo: it will only take a few seconds once the effect starts.
There was a quick flash of light and then another. The group looked at Sephiroth and Sam. Sephiroth's muscles had bulged, his eyes were red, and is hair was gold. Sam's muscles had bulged but were bigger than when he went into super pre-ancient, his eyes were red, and his hair was gold, and it stood up and was spiky.
Cloud: holy crap.
Hojo: this hasn't happened before… Sam by any chance had you reached super pre-ancient before I gave you the shot?
Sam: I had.
Hojo: then instead of changing you into super pre-ancient you changed into ascended pre-ancient, the level beyond super pre-ancient.
Aeris came over to Sam and Sephiroth.
Aeris: don't forget about me.
Aeris changed into super pre-ancient.
Hojo: you have the power too.
Aeris: yep paid the price then Sam tought me how to do this.
Hojo: so you made out with your brother to gain power.
Everyone looked and Sam and Aeris in shock beside Hojo, and Sam and Aeris began to blush.
Sam: they weren't soppuse to know…
Aeris: oh I'm so embarrassed.
Cloud: you mean they had sex?
Sam and Aeris: NO!!!!
Hojo: they only kissed.
Cloud: oh……………
Yuffie: it was purely to get power not because you liked each other right?
Sam and Aeris: we don't love each other like that.
Hojo: my time's up.
Sam: huh?
Hojo: I had to give up my place in the life stream to give you those, I only got 2 hours.
Sam: so when you leave were will you go?
Hojo: the wasteland it's were all the evil souls go.
Sephiroth: I was there.
Hojo: go kill Chaos.
Hojo vanished.
Sam: Cid I want you to go back to the ship, make sure we can get of this rock when we finish.
Cid: ok.
Cid ran out the room, and the rest group ran to the end of the room, through the door at the end, and up the stairs.
Cloud: Sephiroth why are you following us?
Sephiroth: remember you asked me how it felt to do something good for once in my life, it felt good, to be thanked instead of being hated.
Cloud: like old times Sephiroth?
Sephiroth: like old times.
The shook hands as they ran up the stairs.
Sam: get ready.
The reached the top and entered a huge room. The room had a black marble floor, brown marble walls but were the wall met the floor about 3 feet for the floor up the wall were flames, and in the flames there were what looked like people being burned, the people on the wall moved, they look like they were screaming, but there was no sound.
Yuffie: this creeps me out.
Cloud: it's like a window to what hell looks like.
?????: correct human.
On the other end of the room someone stood up.
Sam: it's in the wall.
The figure seemed to walk right up to the other side of the wall, the group could see who it was.
Sam: Chaos…
Chaos: right.
Chaos put out his hand and it seemed to come out of the wall, next came his head, then is body, and finally his legs and wings.
Tifa: talk about a useful trick.
Chaos: you're an acended super pre-ancient.
Sam: I am.
Chaos: there was one who became one before you, he was the last to die when the Jenova wiped the pre-ancients out.
Sam: well the Jenova are no longer a problem.
Chaos: yes I saw that good work.
Sephiroth: if you're not Jenova and you're not pre-ancient what are you?
Chaos: well as you know the Jenova wiped out the pre-ancients, but, what do you think wiped out the Jenova, beside the five on Earth, Mensho, Giaia, Kensha, and Certienia?
Sam: your race.
Chaos: nope, just me.
Sam: say what?
Cloud: you took out all the Jenova, including the Jenova that killed the last ascended pre-ancient?
Chaos: yes, after the Jenova took over a small group of scientists made me to reclaim their planet. On the day I was suppose to be finished the Jenova attacked, they killed the last scientist I was finished I killed the Jenova in the lab the 2 hours later all the Jenova on Certienia where dead.
Sam: it only took you two hours?
Chaos: they were all weak, now are we just gonna stand around and talk or are we going to fight?
Sam: fight!
The group drew their weapons.
Chaos: it's been so long since I've found anyone.
(A/N: after 12 chapters the final fight with Chaos is here. Will the group stand a chance against Chaos? Is an ascended super pre-ancient enough since Chaos killed the Jenova that killed the last one?)
