"No …" He looked at Zero

"You told me this would work!" he was enraged he grabbed his sword and pointed it at Zero.

Zero closed his eyes and thought for a second.

"I said you needed to make a direct connection, and right now it's only half direct."

"What do you mean?" Cloud said

"Cloud he means you gotta kiss her the materia is still active."

Cloud's face turned red as an apple. He closed his eyes and shook his head and opened them again.

"You can do that or stick your dic-" he was stopped when Vincent punched him in the stomach.

"What Zero is trying to say is that this is the only way to revive her back."

Zero felt a pain surge throughout his body. He fell to his knees and he felt the life being sucked out of him. He was beginning to cease his existence.

"Cloud do it now don't worry about me." He said wheezing.

No one saw that his right arm was beginning to disappear. Cloud nodded and he closed his eyes. Slowly their heads were getting closer. As he pressed his lips on the coldness of hers he felt an enormous amount of energy coming from the materia. An enormous pain was going through his body. The room was shining with a gold light and everything was flying around. Suddenly Zero's body came back to its normal self.

"CLOUD DON"T LET GO ITS NOT FINISHED!" Zero yelled

Cloud held on as hard as he could and eventually blanked out.

When everything subsided Zero and Vincent looked at the table where Cloud and the deceased Aeris were. Smoke around the table fell and they saw Aeris hugging and kissing Cloud. They both pulled back Cloud smiled. This was the first time anybody ever saw him smile. Aeris was also smiling. But then she realized she was naked. She blushed and Cloud covered her body with his.

"Hey Zero give me your cloak." Cloud said.

Zero hesitated.

Instead Vincent threw his Cloak and Cloud. He then covered Aeris with it.

"You can pay me back later." He said to Zero.

Zero nodded and said, "Let's go." He then opened a white portal and they all walked in.

- - - - - -

The white portal opened again and out stepped the party. It was still night around 1:30.

Vincent walked towards Cloud with a sleeping Aeris and said.

"Its better if we tell them tomorrow and that we don't disturb her take her Zero's room nobody will bother you guys there, Zero will take your room."

Cloud agreed and took Zero's key.
