Chapter Thirty Three

Revenge

"He can do that later, I have business to attend to."

Jessi looked over her shoulder at her friends; she transformed back to normal then turned to them and bowed her head.

"I didn't mean to hurt any of you, especially you Seph. And I don't expect any of you to trust…"

"We never lost faith in you." Aeris said warmly.

Jessi smiled at her, "Then, you don't mind if I ask a favor?"

"Not at all."

Jessi looked over at Krissy and Alex, up at the WEAPON, then back to Aeris.
"I'm sure these two would like Jenova out of their heads; and the planet can have its guardian back, this isn't an emergency any longer."

Aeris nodded, "No problem, you can count on me to help them."

"Thanks," She looked at Vincent; "there is someone out there that's just dying to see us. Are you in, or do I get to have all the fun?"

"In your dreams." Vincent transformed and flew high into the air above her.

"Let's go before he gets away."

"What about me? I'm the one who should kill that bastard!" Sephiroth said.

"No, you need to stay here and protect Aeris."

"Fine, but I WILL defeat Jenova…you can't stop me from doing that."

"I wouldn't dare try, but I don't want Aeris coming when we go after Jenova."

"No, I wasn't here to stop her last time. I'm going to be this time."

"You are going to stop her, just not in the Northern Crater. I will explain it all when I get back, just get Jenova out of their minds for now."

Jessi transformed into the Blue Harpy and joined Vincent's side, together they took off for Hojo's hiding place in some woods not far from the village. Aeris walked over to Alex and Krissy, Sephiroth was right next to her.

"Allright, lets stop that annoying witch shall we?"

"Where do you think you're going? Get back here Jenova!"

"You failed me Hojo, so you shall suffer the consequences."

"That form won't do you any good! They'll come after you when they're done with me." He yelled furiously.

"Glad to see you finally realize there are people superior to you Hojo."

Hojo spun around as Jessi and Vincent swooped over him and knocked him to the ground. They hovered over him as he got up and glared at them.

"What are you talking about Meadows? You cannot defeat me!"

"That's not what I heard you say two seconds ago…"

"You tried fighting me before and you failed."

"Yea, that's because you had your little 'friends' stop me…but it looks like all your friends left Hojo, and that means there is no one left to stop me."

Hojo glared at her but she could sense his fear.

"The same applies to me as well, and this time you can be assured that I will finish the job. How you survived our onslaught at Midgar I don't know, but this is it." Vincent bared his teeth as if he were smiling.

"You forget I have Jenova's cells inside of me, and I can rejuvenate."

"Not if we rip you to pieces first." Jessi screeched and Vincent roared as they dove down upon Hojo.

"No, you cant defeat me…NOOOOO!"
