Hello everyone! A few changes are made in the story. I want to thank Strangely Coloured Dog for pointing things out that need to be changed. Thanks! I'm sorry to say but a new chapter has not been created yet. I've decided to edit this first then continue on. That and writers block. I am now on break (yayness!) and won't return to school until January 6. Once I'm back, less time to write. I am going to add on some things in chapters as well as changing. Now, about battle scenes. YOU MUST BE PATIENT! It will come eventually.

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII. I own the original characters and nothing more.

Prologue: So They Thought

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two years had passed since the Crisis of the Planet. There were many causality in Midgar from Meteor's destruction. Scars were made and lives were changed. Gaia made her decision who shall live and humans remain. AVALANCHE departures their way and moved on.

Cloud, Tifa, and Vincent return to Nibelheim. Vincent went back to the Shinra Mansion but did not go back to his coffin to 'atone his sins.' He usually stays inside but at times go outside. Tifa and Cloud visits him on occasions as well as him going to see them. He let Luceria go and he had his revenge. Hojo is now dead and never to be seen again.

As for the blonde and the brunette, they moved in together. When the first returned painful memories came to them. Slowly they ignore them and moved on. They are only friends and nothing more. Cloud's heart still remains with Aeris and Tifa knows it is. It hurts her but she always tells herself to be strong.

Nanaki, or Red XIII, returns to Cosmos Canyon. The villagers welcomed him back with open arms; so pleased to see him again. He is very happy to return back home. He is currently the guardian of Cosmos Canyon.

Cid Highwind returns to Rocket Town. After what happened when the rocket was launched into space, the middle-aged man started to treat Shera differently. Not very long after the incident he proposed to her and she accepted. They had a small wedding with only Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Marlene, Nanaki, Vincent, Reeve, Elmyra, and Yuffie coming.

Barret and Marlene moved to Corel Village. The villagers still blame Barret for what happened to them but not nearly as harsh towards him. He assisted the villagers on rebuilding the small town. The large man spends a lot of time with his daughter.

Yuffie is still a materia hunter. Cloud gave half of the materia to the ninja. She wants all of it but satisfied with what she has. What she did not tell Cloud is that she stole more of it. Instead of having half of the materia, she ends up three-quarters of the materia the group had. The spiky blonde haired man was furious at her when he found out but got over it quickly.

Reeve put Cait Sith away and started up New ShinRa. He had all mako reactors destroyed and banned the usage of mako. He became president of New ShinRa. The reconstruction of Midgar is taking place currently and it is nearly complete.

The world is safe now and people are more happy than usual. ShinRa has crumbled and New ShinRa is born. The alien creature, Jenova, has perished from Gaia. Sephiroth is gone as well as his reign. What people do not know is that Sephiroth remains.
