Chapter 4

As soon as the words left the Cetra's mouth, the silver-haired man felt very pleased. Then a feeling of guilt washed over him and he quickly shook the pleased feeling away. Jenova was only using you! Why are you so pleased that she is killing the real Cetra? His brain shouted at him. But how do you know that the Cetra girl was telling the truth?

"Because…" He whispered to himself. "She abandoned me at the last fight. She left my body because she knew that I would not win. The selfish b---- didn't want to die."

"What?" Aeris asked.

The nameless one shook his head. "Nothing, I was merely thinking aloud to myself." Quickly changing the subject, he asked, "Why have you brought me here? Why are you telling me all this about Jenova?"

"Er… well…" Aeris began, she wasn't sure if it was safe to tell him. "The Cetra are not skilled in the art of fighting."

The man nodded. "Your race heals rather than destroy."

The Cetra nodded. "When Jenova came, she managed to nearly wipe the Cetra to extinction. We were not powerful enough to fight her, until finally, a group of Cetras managed to use a spell on her that paralyzed her. We buried her underground, hoping no one would ever dig her up. Jenova waited for millenniums, and when ShinRa rose, she knew that she would be found soon."

"Professor Gast dug her up." The man said, remembering what he read in the books of the ShinRa Mansion's library.

Aeris nodded. "And when she was excavated, the spell was broken."

"Ok… so what was your point?" He asked.

Aeris was going to make this quick. "We need you to help us defeat Jenova and destroy her forever."

He frowned. "Why don't you just get the failure clone to do all that?"

"I know you're not stupid. You know that Cloud isn't dead. He can't go into the Promised Land unless he's dead."

"Well, then, isn't that too bad?" He folded his arms and looked away. "I don't feel like fighting Jenova."

"Child, this will not work. He will not obey." The same harsh voice that called the silver-haired man a murderer spoke.

"Planet…" The girl sighed. "I know he will. Once he meets his real mother."

The word 'mother' affected the man badly. That's why I had to listen to Jenova… she's my mother! He thought.

"I already know Jenova." He said bluntly.

Aeris shook her head. "That's not your mother." She said. "She was only lying about that part. Think, you are a human and she is not."

The man looked down at his hands. He thought back to when he turned into Bizzaro form and One Winged Angel form. "Are you sure that I'm human and not a monster like her?" he asked. "How can you still manage to be friendly to me when I killed you? When I almost killed all of your friends?"

"It's because, you are not a bad person. It was Jenova who made you do those things." Aeris said. "Now… it's time to meet your mother."

Mixed feelings of nervousness and excitement washed over him. Who was this woman that was really his mother? He looked at Aeris eagerly. "Who is she?" he inquired. "What is her name?"

"Lucrecia, it's time to meet your son." Aeris called.

Suddenly, from thin air, a beautiful woman with beautiful brown eyes and feathery brown hair tied back into a ponytail, appeared. She was dressed in a light blue dress that matched her. "Oh my son!" she cried, running towards the silver-haired man. "All grown up!"

Lucrecia wrapped her arms around the man. He felt numb. Never in his life had he been hugged. All through his childhood he had…

Had? What happened during my childhood? He suddenly realized that he did not remember anything from the past. Gast… that's all I can remember…

" what's wrong?" Lucrecia asked.

The man looked at Lucrecia, had she said his name? When she said it, for some reasons, he could see her mouth open and close but he hadn't heard anything come out. He felt strange, when her lips had moved, he could not read them even though he could usually read lips.

So, even if anybody told me my name, I wouldn't be able to hear it, or read their lips. He thought, wanting to scream. Now how am I supposed to remember!

"Mother…" He found that it was strange to call this woman his mother… he was still used to Jenova. "I… cannot remember… my childhood…"

"I'm sorry, but you must find out your past alone without anyone's help." Aeris sighed, then she brightened. "I'll call you something else than… how about—"

"Destroyer… fool… murderer…" He cut in.

"Well… if you have to be so… down… how about Nefilim?" Aeris suggested.

"That's fine." He replied. "Nefilim it is."

"Sweetie… don't be like that." Lucrecia touched her son's face.

"Nefilim" did not know why but he flinched. He shrank away. When touched only pain will come… A thought crossed his mind.

Where had that come from? Perhaps something from the past? He saw that Lucrecia had given a hurt look. He apologized immediately. "I'm sorry, mother… I don't… know why…" He looked away.

"What has he done to you?" Lucrecia whispered. "My poor baby. What has he done?"

Who is he The man thought to himself.

"Oh… I must be going now…" Lucrecia sighed. "Goodbye son."

A pang of sadness came over him. He had never felt this feeling before and it tasted strange to him. "Wait… mother…" He walked over to his mother and hugged her tightly.

How could he have ever thought that Jenova was his mother? She had never shown him affection, only anger and hate. Damn you, Jenova. He thought. Lies… all that was fed to me my entire life… lies! I'll repay you tenfold for what you have done to me.

"Goodbye, mother." He whispered to her. "I won't let you down."

Lucrecia hugged her son tightly and kissed his cheek. Then she disappeared the same way that she had come.
