"Sephiroth I'll kill you!" yelled Zero. He grabbed his sword and sent a beam of energy rushing towards him. Debris and smoke flew everywhere. Sephiroth blocked the attack, but couldn't locate Zero.

"Right here fucker!" Zero said flying through the sky he slashed Sephiroth's arm off. Sephiroth cried in pain and slashed Zero away.

A potion was used on Zero and he got back up. A girl with red hair and goggles stood before him and put out her hand to help Zero up.

Zero woke up in a cold sweat. His arm real arm was tingling and all the veins were popping out. He stood up and opened the windows. He looked outside and saw Cloud sitting on a rock staring at the big full moon. He had something in his hand a white stone. He kept touching it like it was something very precious to him. Zero put on his cloak and jumped out the window and walked towards Cloud.
"Something important of yours?" Zero said.

Cloud looked at the sky and sighed.

"Yeah."

"Who was it?"

"Somebody special, who I let down recently."

"I see…"

"I would do anything to bring her back just so I could say I was sorry."

Zero put his hand on the gold materia Future Cid gave him. He then thought to himself if it was the right time to use it.

"Cloud…"

"Yeah?"

He pulled out the gold materia.
"Lets bring her back."

A white portal opened by the Forgotten Capital. Out came both Cloud and Zero. The portal was about to close, but another figure was coming through. Zero drew his gun, and aimed at the stalker.

"Vincent?" they both said.
"I had a strange feeling about the aura coming from that materia so I decided to investigate." He said, "What are you planning to do?"

"Bring Aeris back." Cloud said.

He nodded.

"Where is she?" Zero asked

"Follow me." Cloud said.

Cloud ran towards the lake, but stopped short when Zero and Vincent grabbed Cloud.

"Cloud Shinra is here." Vincent said

"What?"

They went into a nearby hut and looked out a window. They saw soldier lots of them patrolling the area looking for something.

"Shit what is Shinra doing here." Cloud whispered.

Zero drew two magnums from his side hostlers and checked the ammo he had.

"Vincent and I will take care of them just take the materia and get to her body." Zero said

"Got it."

"Cloud to use that materia you need to make a solid connection with the one your reviving, like hold them or such." Zero instructed

Cloud nodded and drifted into the night.

"This is platoon 142 we have an unidentified man armed walking running toward the lake over permission to fire?"

"Permission to fire over"

"Roger that."

Just about when they were ready to open fire on Cloud, a flash of electricity went through their platoon.

"This is Platoon 142 there is more than one intruder I repeat more than one intruder with heavily developed materia requesting backup."

"Platoon 142 state your current position!"

There was no reply.

"Platoon 142 state your current position!"

Zero jumped on top of a hut and his right hand started to glow. His eyes flashed and a huge explosion of fire ripped through platoons of men trying to shoot Cloud. Vincent was approximately 50 meters away from Cloud giving him covering fire. Soldiers cut off Cloud's path and were firing nonstop in his direction. Cloud drew his sword.

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY!"

He ran up to one soldier and sliced his head clean off spilling blood everywhere. The other soldiers were in confusion. Nothing was going to get in Cloud's way. He was almost at the lake. Blood was dripping from all parts of his body. The lake was in sight.

Near the lake was the Shinra base of operations in the city. It was heavily guarded and divers were going in and out of the lake looking for something.

"Sir we acquired the ancients body!" said a soldier to a Shinra Scientist.

"Good get ready to take a DNA sample of it Mojo will wants it for his study."

The scientist took a rather large needle and was going to stick it in the ancient's body.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" a man yelled.

A man with spiky hair slashed the scientist down the middle. His sword was now blood stained with the lives of a hundred men. Soldiers jumped in and started to fire at Cloud. Before thinking of himself he jumped over Aeris's body protecting it. He felt some kind of cloth come over his body. The guns stopped and he was going to take the cloth off.

"Wait Cloud don't open your eyes yet." It was Zero. Now he knew what it was, the cloth was Zero's cloak man it was heavy. Zero took the cloak and put it back on.

"Ok you can open your eyes." He said.

Vincent then entered the room "That's the last of them in the area hurry up and revive her we gotta get out of here."

Cloud cradled Aeris in his arms and the materia shone a light everyone was blinded.

"Aeris?" Cloud said, "Aeris!"

"She's still dead isn't she?" Vincent said.
