Beth starts to worry about herself and Marty after hearing what the mysterious figure had just said. The smoke has finally cleared enough that could see the being standing there clearly. The figure was standing on two feet; he was facing the other way. One of the first things she noticed about the person was that it had a single black wing on its back.
Beth: Did you come from Heaven?
The mysterious person turned around. He looked pretty much human. He had dark eyes, leather and metal clothing, long gray or silverfish hair, a harness containing a very long sword attached to the side of his clothing, and creepy, dark lips.
Person: Actually, it is the exact opposite. I came from the darkness.
The person looks to the side of Beth and noticed her car and that Marty was from the back. The person starts heading toward the car.
Marty: Stay away from my son.
Beth runs over to stop him, but the mysterious figure easily pushed her into the vacant road. The person looks through the back seat window and looks straight into Marty's eyes. He then walks over to Beth, who was trying to get back up, and looks into her eyes.
Person: You are not his true mother.
Beth: Yes I am.
Beth is finally able to get herself up and stay up. The person turns his head and looks back at the car.
Person: A child kept away from his real mother. I almost pity him.
Beth: (angrily) I may have not been the one who brought him into the world, but he's still my son. And nobody is taking him away from me. Especially not you!
Beth takes out a loaded gun and tries to shoot the unknown person. The person swiftly dodges every single bullet. The mysterious being takes out his long sword, Masamune, and just stabs Beth through the heart and twists the sword. Blood starts coming out of Beth's mouth.
Beth: W-w-who are you? W-w-what are you?
The unknown being takes the sword out off Beth, sticks his hand out, grabs Beth from her face, and draws the her face close to his.
Person: Who am I? I am Sephiroth. What am I? I am Cetra, the superior being that will bring you and the rest of the inferior mortals to annihilation.
He throws Beth down to the ground, as she had just died. Sephiroth shakes his sword, in order to get the blood off. He puts his sword back into the compartment and walks over back to the car and looks at Marty.
Sephiroth: I can understand on a certain level, what it's like to have almost not known who your true mother was, being kept away from her. For that, I will show you mercy for now. But, the people from wherever you are from shall not be as blessed.
Sephiroth walks over to Beth and stocks his hand into one of her pants pocket to reveal a wallet. He looks into the wallet and sees Beth's id.
Sephiroth: Harmony?
Sephiroth throws the wallet back down.
Sephiroth: When I get there, it will become anything but.
And so, he starts to walk down the road on the way to Harmony.
It is very early in the morning, early enough that one could call still call it the middle of the night. Luis, is driving down the road, when suddenly, he notices a bunch of police and an ambulance blocking the road, which prevented Luis from driving further. Luis notices that one of the cops is holding a young boy.
Luis: Marty?
Luis steps out of the car and runs toward.
Luis: Oh my god, Marty!
A cop blocks him from moving forward.
Cop: Excuse me, sir, can I help you?
Luis: Yeah. I'm detective Lopez-Fitzgerald of Harmony P.D. (shows his badge) and that's my son. He was taken from me and his mother.
Cop: Lopez-Fitzgerald? Oh, that's right. Our guys have been told to keep alert for a woman that has kidnapped a child belonging to Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald and Sheridan Crane. Which means that that woman (turns around to the direction that the ambulance is at) must be Beth Wallace.
Luis walks over to the ambulance to find Beth in the condition she was when Sephiroth left being put on the cart.
Luis: My god. What happened?
Cop: We're not entirely sure. All we know is that she now officially declared dead.
Even though Beth did steal his and Sheridan's son, Luis did feel sad; he knew Beth and they used to date, made love to each other, and even almost married each other. Luis walks over to the cop that was holding Marty.
Cop: I believe this is yours.
The cop hands Marty over to Luis, along with a bag containing Marty's things, which Beth had brought with her.
Luis: Marty. Oh, my boy, I missed you so much. Come on, let's go home.
Within a few minutes, Luis had put Marty in his baby car seat, which is now in the back of Luis' car. Afterwards, Luis had put the bag next to Marty, got into the car, checked to make sure that Marty was strapped in safely, buckled his seatbelt, and headed back to Harmony.
At a dark alley:
Noah: Oh man. Look how late it is. I'm really worried.
Sam: Just keep your eyes open, Noah.
A different area in the alley:
Spike and Jessica are making out and are close to doing much more than that. And right in front of Spike's people.
Jessica: Mmm, Spike, wait. I'm not so sure about this.
Spike takes out some pills and gives them to Jessica.
Spike: Here, baby. These should help you loosen up.
Jessica puts the pills in her mouth and swallows them.
Sephiroth: Killing yourself. So that's how dim you humans really are?
Spike turns around and Jessica moves her head to the side to find Sephiroth right behind them.
Spike: Who are you? And what the hell do you want? Can't you see I'm in the middle of something here?
Sephiroth: How pathetic and useless are you? You obviously have no future. And you are with this sad case because?
Jessica: You can't talk about him like that!
Sephiroth: Why? Because he'll hurt me? (To Spike) You serve no purpose. You have no value.
Spike: Shut up.
Sephiroth: You're small and insignificant. You are inferior. You are weak. You are nothing.
Spike: Shut up.
Sephiroth: You should have been stripped of your existence a long time ago.
Spike takes a board and smacks toward Sephiroth.
Spike: I said shut up!
The board easily breaks as it makes contact with Sephiroth.
Sephiroth: …………That's it?
Spike, starting to get worried, pulls out his pocket knife and tries to stab Sephiroth.
Sephiroth easily takes Spike's arm that has the knife and twists it. Spike's crew and Jessica start to freak out.
Spike: Aaaauuuugggghhhh!
Jessica: Spike!
Sephiroth pushes Jessica far away. She lands hard against a wall.
Spike: Get him!
Spike's crews takes out their knives and guns and go for Sephiroth. Sephiroth lets go of Spike and dodges the bullets and knives by leaping far and high. When he lands, Sephiroth raises his hands, points it toward the crew, and starts moving his fingers a certain way. Suddenly, Spike's people instantly catch on fire. Jessica thought that even though she "loved" Spike, she had to make a run for it and try to stay alive.
Crew: Yaaahhh!
Sephiroth: If there is one thing I love just as much as death and destruction, its torment.
Just then, Spike tries to stab Sephiroth with his knife, using his other hand. Sephiroth dodges the knife by teleporting himself from in front of Spike to behind him.
Sephiroth: That's how I know you are weak.
Sephiroth quickly grabs Spike's head and twists, which obviously caused him to die.
Sephiroth: You let mere words get the better of you.
Sephiroth drops Spike on the ground. He turns to notice that Jessica is gone.
Sephiroth: Not a big deal to me. She didn't have true darkness in her heart. Besides, this is only the beginning.
Sephiroth heads into the shadows.
Sephiroth: I'll continue in the morning.
