Cloud's first day at boot camp
Part 2
Cloud uses his Braver Limit Break on Sephiroth. However, Sephiroth blocks it but does not strike back. He is extremely surprised at him for being able to use his Limit Break at such a young age. Sephiroth never uses his Limit Break but he couldn't use his until he reached a certain strength. He was very impressed. He continued to battle Cloud.
Sephiroth struck with only a fraction of his might because he did not want to hurt Cloud. "You could have much planned for you if you can learn to control your battle capabilities." Cloud looked at him and was shocked to hear the great Sephiroth giving him advice. "What do you mean?" Cloud asked with a look of confusion. "Soldier is looking for the best in fighters. You have a great future for you if you become great like me."
Sephiroth and Cloud finally finished their training. Cloud was exhausted. "The first thing you need to learn," Sephiroth said to Cloud, "you need to learn how to fight long battles and still be able to stand. If you can't keep your breath, your enemies will take advantage." Cloud stood up straight and saluted Sephiroth. "Yes, sir. I understand."
Sephiroth looked at him and laughed. "Call me Sephiroth from now on. I respect you. You remind me of myself when I first started."
"Sephiroth, how are you?" A black haired man asked in the background. "Ah, Zack, I'm just training this new recruit. By the way, what is your name recruit?" Cloud looked at Zack and then back at Sephiroth. "My name is Cloud Strife." He said with antisipation. Zack turned his back on Cloud to talk to Sephiroth. Cloud stood in shock to see a huge sword strapped to Zack's back. Cloud spoke with nervousness, "Excuse me Zack, but what kind of sword is that?" Zack turned to Cloud and laughed. "It's called the Buster Sword. It's one of the most powerful swords made in Midgar."
Several hours had past and Cloud was sleeping in his barracks when he was suddenly awaken by Zack. "Wake up Cloud." He said with excitement. Cloud rolled over and look at him while trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. "What is it?" Zack grabbed Cloud's uniform and handed it to him. "We just got our first assignment. We are going to Nibleheim." Cloud jump out of bed and slapped on his uniform. "Why are we going there?" "Do you know it?" Zack said with a look of surprise. Cloud explained while they walked out the door,"That's my home town. I haven't been there for years. Is there something wrong?" Zack grabbed his Buster sword and strapped it to his back. "We are just to investigate the Mako Reactor there. But the reason they chose you was because it's a fighting mission. There are reports of multiple monsters and they heard about your capabilities. They want to see what you got. Sephiroth even chose you to fight next to us." Cloud jumped in the back of the truck and Sephiroth was there waiting for them.
"Sephiroth, did you really ask for me to come?" Cloud asked with excitement. Sephiroth kept his eyes closed and answered, "Yes. I want to see what you can do in a real fight. Are you nervous?" Cloud looked at him with a bleek expression. "Well... Yes just a little bit. Nibleheim is my hometown. And I knew there were monsters and a Mako Reactor. But I never thought it would cause such a big deal."
They all ride to Nibleheim.

And that is untold story of Cloud's past story he tells.
