The Only One in My Heart

Chapter 11

"Mr. President!" a female scientist in a white lab coat ran into the caped man's office, "Lana, she is fighting off the Mako energy with much more energy now!"

"What?" he exclaimed, "Do whatever it is that you can to save her!"

"Yes sir!" she answered and ran back to Lana's control room.

"Lana is finally awakening," the caped man said, "I hope she will be able to survive this."

"Lana," Kadaj whispered into the air as Lana disappeared from his embrace, "We'll see each other again soon." He picked up his fallen sword without looking at Cloud, who was staring at him. Kadaj ignored the stare and walked away from him.

"Kadaj," Cloud called. Kadaj stopped in his tracks. "Why do you fight?" Cloud asked him.

"To protect the ones I love," was his reply.

"What about JENOVA?" Cloud questioned him.

"I don't want to answer you on that," Kadaj said and walked out of Cloud's sight.

"Why can't you let me see Lana?" Kadaj shouted at the guards who were stationed in front of Lana's room.

"She's currently unstable, Master Kadaj," one of them answered.

"What do you mean?" Kadaj grabbed him by the collar.

"Kadaj, calm down," Loz said to his brother.

"She rejecting the Mako-" the other guard did not finish as the sound of a large piece of glass breaking interrupted him. Kadaj shoved the two guards out of his way and opened the steel door.

What he saw in the room was not pleasing in his eyes. The female scientist who was put in charge to watch over Lana was holding Lana possessively on the floor. The glass tank where Lana was laid was opened and the power was cut off to the tank.

"You will not take Lana!" she said, "She needs the Mako to survive!"

"Anna!" Kadaj shouted, "I should have seen it earlier. Lana has been rejecting the Mako from the beginning! She needs rest, not the Mako energy!"

"You're wrong! The only reason she's alive now is because of the Mako energy!" Anna shouted back and tightened her grip on Lana.

"Give Lana to me!" Kadaj said as he unsheathed his sword.

"Come and get her!" she said as she threw a flash bomb in front of Kadaj. When Kadaj and his brothers had recovered from the flash effect, Anna and Lana was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did they go?" Loz asked out loud. Yazoo gave him an icy stare and motioned for him to be quiet. Kadaj lowered his sword and clenched his fist in anger. With a swing of his sword, the equipments used to monitor Lana were destroyed. The sound of the equipments exploding brought the caped man down to the room.

"What happened in here?" the caped man asked.

"Anna escaped with Lana," Loz informed him. When he turned his gaze back to Kadaj, Loz was shocked to see Kadaj sobbing on the floor.

"She would not do such a thing!" the caped man exclaimed.

"She did, we saw it," Yazoo said.

"Sir," a soldier came running into the room, "We found Anna dead in the elevator."

"What?" the caped man gasped. Kadaj stood up and an explanation dawned in his mind. He looked at his brothers in horror.

"It's her," he mumbled before he dashed out of the room,

"But how? Reunion is not complete yet!" Loz exclaimed as they ran down the building to their motorcycles. Kadaj did not reply but ran ahead of them.

Yazoo and Loz followed their youngest brother who rode ahead of them. They could sense that Kadaj was anxious to get back to the old abandoned lab at the edge of the city as they knew she would definitely bring Lana there.

The grey road was empty and silent as Kadaj and his brothers approached the abandoned building. The laboratory was abandoned after the Meteor had hit the city and killed the researchers who were out in the city. No one maintains the lab now but the equipments were still running from the constant generation of electricity by its own built-in generator.

Kadaj opened the door to the dark building and stepped in, followed by his brothers. Once they had entered the empty room, the door closed by itself and the lights were switched on suddenly. The room was empty and the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust. As Kadaj and the others looked on, they saw a feminine figure standing in the middle of the room, with her back towards them.

She wore a long white dress that complemented the colour of her silver hair. As she turned to face the trio, they saw that she was much paler than they and her eyes were different than theirs. It was white and they knew instantly who they were facing but Kadaj did not seem to be surprised.

"Mother," Loz said under his breath and gripped his weapon. Yazoo too took out his gunblade and got ready to fight.

"My sons," her voice said, "We are finally reunited."

"Return Lana to me!" Kadaj shouted across the room.

"Son, that girl is trouble to us," she said calmly, "You do remember the Promised Land, don't you?"

"I do," Kadaj said, "It does not exist!"

"You listened to the girl's rambles," she said in an angry tone, "Why!"

"I trust her more than you," Kadaj replied.

"She'll die," she laughed, "GeoStigma will eat into her."

"I'll save her!" Kadaj said as he unsheathed his sword and charged towards the woman.

"Do you think they are alright?" Tifa asked.

"I don't care," Cloud replied coldly.

"If Kadaj's assumption is true," the caped man said, "It could mean trouble."

"Assumption?" Yuffie asked.

"That JENOVA is already back but is still regaining her powers," Vincent answered Yuffie and the rest.

"But how?" Tifa asked.

"GeoStigma is the new way to revive her," Vincent began, "When the virus infects a person, JENOVA will be able to draw out their lives and live. But it'll take time before she can take a physical form."

"If it infects a Cetra, JENOVA will be able to regain her full power by only drawing her life," Vincent continued.

"You knew?" the caped man looked at him, "Yet you didn't say anything until now?"

"No one asked me about it," Vincent replied.

"But you could have said it all by yourself!" Yuffie said.

"We must stop JENOVA," Cloud said. "It doesn't mean that I'm helping them,"Cloud said quickly when he saw Tifa's eyes lit up. He did not know why Tifa cared so much about them after the caped man told them about Lana.

"You can't beat me, my sons," JENOVA taunted as her barrier disappeared. The trio was panting heavily while their enemy was still as calm and collected as before the battle had begun.

"I won't give up," Kadaj said, gripping his sword tightly, "I'll never give up!" Kadaj charged towards JENOVA with his sword in his left hand. As he turned to slash at the woman in white, her left hand was brought up and a shield surrounded her again. Kadaj's attack became useless against her as long as she has the barrier and their strengths were spent from destroying the barrier over and over again.

As they tried to regain their breaths, the Avalanche had arrived outside the building. They were surprised to see JENOVA when they entered the building and shocked when they saw that the three brothers trying to regain their strengths.

"Are you all alright?" Tifa rushed to them. Loz grunted as he sat on the floor. Yazoo nodded as he held on to the wall for support. Kadaj was kneeling on one knee and used his sword to stabilize himself in front of JENOVA.

"You called for their aid?" JENOVA asked.

"We come on our own!" Yuffie exclaimed.

"We'll vanquish you from this planet!" Cloud shouted as he charged at the woman. With a swing of his sword, the barrier broke and JENOVA stumbled back from the impact. "Attack her now!" Yazoo told them. At once, all the members of the Avalanche attacked her from all sides. Loz nodded to Yazoo and Yazoo walked over to Kadaj.

"Find Lana!" Tifa told Kadaj, "We'll take care of JENOVA here."

"Don't order me around!" Kadaj told her.

"Come, Kadaj!" Yazoo pulled Kadaj to his feet and led him away from the battle into a dark corridor, "Loz will be with them, don't worry."

"Yazoo," Kadaj called his brother's name as it was the first time Yazoo took his rightful role as an older brother after they had started on their journey to cure Lana.

Meanwhile, Cloud and his companions struck violently at JENOVA. They did not give her any chance to strike back but cast barriers around herself. As the battle continued, JENOVA's magic became weaker with every barrier that she cast.

"She's getting weaker," Vincent said, "We must double up our attacks and finish her off."

'I must retreat,' JENOVA thought in horror, 'Or I'll be doomed.'

"You won't get away from this," JENOVA said, fear was in her voice, "I shall be back and you will not be able to defeat me when I do come back." A blinding flash of light appeared from her palms and she disappeared when the light had faded away.

"She got away!" Cloud exclaimed angrily, "And we were so close!"

"I can't sense her," Loz said, "She's too weak. She won't be back anytime soon." Loz sat down on the floor and clutched his left arm.

"Are you alright?" Tifa asked Loz as she crouched beside him. Loz only nodded without looking at her.
