A/N: Heyyee! Sorry for the long wait. I had like… horrible writers block… and I was on the verge of losing interest in this. :loud gasp: But, after looking at a bajillion pretty pictures of Vincent and other FF7 things, I decided that I had to make Chapter 7… and I got loads of many ideas.. but I still think this chapter is a little.. meh. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Silent Wind
Chapter 7

Disturbed Lifestream

Sephiroth, stared into the eyes of 'Silent Wind' as she smirked, waiting for him to answer to her ever so shocking comment about herself. Meanwhile, AVALANCHE had been fairly confused about the whole situation. 'Sephiroth in Cloud's body?' 'What?' 'Is this a joke or something?' Things that filled their minds at the moment. They would have attacked long before, but thanks to Reno and Rude, who now had them cornered and no where else to go, stopped them from doing so.

Tifa, who seemed extremely worried at the moment called out, "Cloud! What's going on? Do you know her?"

Cloud's head turned towards the worried fighter, revealing his now green colored eyes. Tifa widened her eyes and shook her head, telling herself that it just couldn't be true. That Cloud… is now Sephiroth…?

The swordsman then resumed to his opponent. SW (Silent Wind) grinned and pointed Elena's gun at him as Sephiroth, about to reach his 'Masamune,' pulled out Cloud's Buster Sword instead. He grunted and narrowed his eyes.

"Number Thirty-four… so… you were an experiment of Hojo as well…"

"Hardly. You can say I was a failed experiment. Just like the boy whose body you have taken over."

Sephiroth lifted an eyebrow. "Failed experiment, huh? Not like me."

"That's why I have been seeking revenge on you for quite some time."

"…"

Elena's arms lifted to her sides with clenched fists, giving out a demonic aura.

"I have been an experiment of Hojo even before you have came. I am Number Thirty-four, because the previous experiments he tried to make with the same DNA had failed. I was the only one that had been a success… until… he decided to take his experimentations a step further. Taking advantage over the woman, just because she just adored science… he convinced her that everything would turn out fine. Not fine for me. Days have passed by and my form started materializing into rock. No matter how many times I've called out, he would just ignore me and concentrate on… 'Sephiroth.' That name… was stuck inside my head. I would never forget that name… even the day I die. Hojo finally noticed my form and trashed me away one day. I may have been gone, but my spirit hasn't. Since then, I have acquired abilities that were quite unknown to man. I was able to find you in this so called 'Lifestream,' and have you enter a temporary body that had been in contact with the Lifestream more than anyone else."

Sephiroth wrinkled Cloud's nose and lifted an eyebrow. "What's the point? You're not exactly going to defeat me. Only this boy's body."

"But what's interesting with the two of you… is that… you are somewhat similar. Perhaps… a clone? Either way, I would defeat this clone's body and your spirit as well."

Sephiroth grunted and lifted Cloud's oversized sword in front, practically losing his balance due to the extreme weight of the blade. SW called out Elena's gun once again and shot the blade, creating an ear-splitting noise that caused Cloud's body to flinch. With his guard down, the woman called out her black dragons that suddenly appeared above, and began constricting the man's hands.

"Cloud!" Tifa yelled out.

"Be quiet, you scum!" Reno yelled back at the girl.

Tifa couldn't take anymore. Her friend was in trouble and she was just standing around doing absolutely nothing. She clenched her fists and punched Reno to the ground. Rude backed up his friend and shot a bullet to her. Luckily, Yuffie's shuriken blades sliced through the bullet before it could reach Tifa. The red headed Turk slowly stood up and called out his fire magic, creating fire-like figures that surrounded AVALANCHE. Everyone got into their battle stances and lunged towards their (literally) hot opponents.

With the Buster Sword still in his hands, Sephiroth was still able to attack his opponent, but not quite well. He lunged forward as Elena jumped away and called out her magic spell, 'wind.' The swordsman clumsily fell backwards and grunted to himself.

'Damnit! How does this guy use this sword anyway?'

His thoughts were cut short as he quickly rolled away from Elena's hard stomp to the ground.

He slowly stood up. 'Shit!'

"Stay still!"

"Owwwww, damnit!" Cid grabbed his arm and quickly dodged the 'fireman's' assault. "Anyone here happen to have some water! That would definitely help right now!"

"Don't be tellin' me dat!" Barret yelled at the pilot as he shot several bullets at his opponents, creating a massive hole in the center of their guts. Unfortunately, the holes regenerated themselves and attacked once again.

A barrier suddenly appeared and grew bigger, pushing out all the firemen, including Reno and Rude, outside. Tifa, who was responsible for the barrier clenched her fists as the barrier grew stronger, practically overpowering Reno's firemen, causing them to dissolve away. Reno and Rude's eyes then turned a pure white color. Soon, the barrier disappeared and everyone made a quick run over to the other fight.

The black dragons whimpered on the ground as Sephiroth planted his foot on top of their tiny heads.

"Useless pieces of garbage."

"AHH! NO! MY PRECIOUS PETS!" SW sobbed loudly, actually showing off her weak side.

Sephiroth grinned. "Well, well. Who's a poor thing now?"

"Let them go!"

"… nah… I'm too lazy…"

SW growled and quickly shot two bullets at him, however, Cloud's huge blade protected the bullets from passing through as it bounced right off the tough steel. The woman smirked.

"You remember now," she started as a gust of wind appeared underneath and it slowly lifted Sephiroth off from the ground, allowing the dragons to fly towards their master. "I still have these powers."

"Che. Cheap magic trick."

Two bullets shot towards the woman, missing her by just a centimeter, however, it left quite a big gash on her cheek. She growled and turned towards the source of the attack. Vincent twirled his guns around and shot two bullets again, this time though, SW dodged them no problem. But, without realizing another presence behind her, she was tackled to the ground by Red XIII who growled furiously at her.

"Hey! She's MY opponent!" Sephiroth yelled from above, waving his arms around. "Hey, hey!"

Elena grunted as she tried freeing herself, but failed to do so. "Fools! Let me go!"

"And what?" Tifa growled at her. "What the hell is going on? Why are you guys acting like you're being possessed?"

"Gah! Were you not paying attention to my little speech?"

"I hate lectures… so I didn't even bother to listen," Yuffie grinned.

"No wonder you show no maturity in this group whatsoever."

Yuffie pouted. "HEY!"

Just then, the ground began shaking around violently, making everyone seem like useless rag dolls being thrown around randomly. The swordsman, wondering what the heck was going on, stared down and watched the ground crack into several pieces.

"What the hell is going on!" Cid wondered, trying his best to stand on his two legs.

Vincent stood unusually still as cold chill circulated his whole body. "… the Lifestream…"

"What!"

"… something has disturbed it…"

Bugenhagen paced around his laboratory, stopped to scratch his chin, then continued pacing around. The thought of 'Sephiroth' actually returning had him thinking about it for some time. Was this even possible? Is he really alive and talking? Why Cloud? Questions that started floating around in his head. He regretted not asking Cloud (or Sephiroth :cough: ) for more information about his dream.

The old man stared at his contraption before entering it. A hologram of the planet appeared and Bugen scrutinized it for a few moments. After a while, he stepped back and sighed.

'Something is wrong," he said to himself. 'Perhaps… the appearance of "Sephiroth" is responsible for the disturbance of the Lifestream?'

The image of the planet began sprouting out the Lifestream as it circled around the planet. Bugen leaned towards the hologram and tilted his head.

'… everyone was exposed to the Lifestream… but since Cloud was in contact of it several times…' he paused then continued. '… and Sephiroth became part of it… then it's possible that the Lifestream could-'

Before he could finish, his contraption started making noises and the hologram of both the Lifestream and the planets gave out a powerful beam of light that engulfed Bugen in it. Trying his best to find out what was wrong, he stared into the bright light and watched as the Lifestream started forming into a vortex, surrounding the whole planet.

"… it can't be…"
