Chapter 5 Mixed Emotions A Deadly Promise
Barret-
I choked. The usual smoggy green sky over Midgar was pitch black. Even though it was the middle of the day, it looked like nighttime, except that the moon and all the stars were gone. All you could see in the sky was A long shimmer, and that was the amazing part. It was Sephiroth's sword, the Masamune. He was holding it with his arms outstretched and his eyes closed, and his head was facing up in the sky. It looked like he was about to murder Aeris all over again. Suddenly I saw a ragged looking man running by and he looked terrified. I stopped him. "Sir, please tell me what's going on!" I shouted at him. He had a terrified distant look in his eyes.
"Th…that man…with the sword….that sword! He….he…at….the church……" He said that and collapsed. Tifa felt his wrist.
"He's dead." She said with a worried look in her eyes. Cloud nodded.
"He said the church. He must mean Aeris's church. That's where we need to be. Let's go." He said. We ran into Midgar through the Sector 7 gate. It was wide open. There wasn't site of anything or anyone. There was blood stained and trailed on the ground. It was like that all the way up to the church. When we got there there was a hole blown through the celing where Sephiroth was floating above. Cloud stood up in front, with anger in his eyes and his sword in front of him. We all stared up at the celing. Sephiroth came slowly down. He landed gently on the ground and looked up. He showed a wicked smile. "Hello, my puppet. You've arrived." He said.
Sephiroth-
The stupid, ignorant fools. They disgrace me just for appearing here. They were too late. Meteor was long ago casted. They wouldn't find out how. I would tell them, and they would be crushed.
"Where is the Black Materia, Sephiroth?" The puppet asked. I smiled.
"Gone. I used it." I said. I couldn't resist a laugh.
"NO!" He screamed. I just smiled more. "Where did you get you get the energy or power? You aren't strong enough!" He shouted.
"Wrong. Haven't you ever wondered why the Cetra could grow flowers in the church but in no other part of Midgar? Because of the powerful Ancient energy beneath. I've used it for power for Meteor. You're late, Puppet. And now, all I need is for you to help me, and my plan will be complete." I said with glee.
"Never! I would never help you! I have my friends!" He yelled.
"No, Puppet, wrong again. I will destroy your friends, family, your life. You will have no choice. And I will start now." I said with a laugh. But first I closed my eyes. The magic swirled in me. Now I was ready. He wouldn't find out the truth. Not until his feelings were gone. I picked up Masamune and leapt at him.
Barret-
I felt dizzy. Everything blacked out. I opened my eyes. Sephiroth ran me through with his sword. I blacked out again. When I opened my eyes, I was floating in nothingness. Just nothing. What was happening? Just…nothing…
