Chapter 19. The wheel's still turning, but the hamster is dead.

Aeris: (dressed in red and black, similar clothing to that of Vincent.) Love's a bitch.

All: (stare at her).......

Sephiroth: What's with the Vincent get up?

Aeris: (looks solemnly at him as Vincent always does) I'm in a state of self-loathing. Bother me not, for love is killing me slowly from within.

Kuja: Don't you think love is the strongest force in the universe?

Aeris: No, I'd have to go with stupidity. Followed closely by its cousin, ignorance. Morning breath is number three, thanks for reminding me. Then you've got selfishness, lust, fear, money, and luck.

Link: But love is in the top ten, right?

Aeris: It's fourteenth, right after foolish optimism. However, love is much like a savage beast that eats away at your heart.

Vincent: (walks in) Indubitably.

Dante: Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast, but I'd try a revolver first.

Aeris: .......Sorry, what did you say, I was too busy daydreaming of my funeral. (Turns to Vincent, Vincent turns to her.) Shall we go and loathe the world together at one of those Goth cafés?

Vincent: (stares at her with a sad joy.) Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life, so I believe it is a good suggestion.

Aeris: Well, let us be off. Hopefully, that evil shiny thing in the sky won't laugh at me the entire time as we make our way there.

Sephiroth: That's the sun.

Kain: I know, it's evil isn't it, Aeris?

Aeris: Indubitably, it burns my eyes whenever I try to scream at it. My inner child just killed itself.

Kuja: Again?

Aeris: Yes. Anyways, Vincent and I are leaving now. (They leave. A dark rain cloud follows over their heads.)

Legolas: FIGHT MEGAMAN! FOR EVERLASTING PEACE!

Kain: ......... let's just start the chapter.

Chapter 19. If nobody else was violent, I could conquer this stupid planet with just a butter knife.

The sun was out and there were very few clouds in the sky. It was a beautiful day on the planet as to be expected. However, a kidnapped Aeris didn't find it very happy like she usually did, most likely because she was too busy kicking and shouting at her captor for her to be released and taken back to her house in Midgar. She was getting tired from all her crying and struggling because DamIan was only going to keep ignoring her as they flew smoothly along towards the Northern Crater. Aeris finally gave up and went limp in his strong arms that were much like Sephiroth's. She gave a few seconds to that thought and couldn't help but sob.

"Why did you kill him?!?!?!" Aeris demanded, turning enough to grab a handful of his silver locks and pull as hard as she possibly could. He let out a yell of anger and punched her in the stomach. She had the wind knocked out of her and began to cough and choke for her breaths.

"I did not kill him, he still lives. I merely wounded him. He is on his way for you as we speak." DamIan told her coldly. "Now, tell me. Since it will be just the two of us for a while once we arrive at our destination, how do you effect my elder brother?"

"Go to hell." Aeris managed to cough out, still dazed from his hit.

"Tsk, tsk. A beautiful young woman such as yourself should not use such language. It isn't fitting." DamIan told her.

"Like I said, go to hell." Aeris muttered. She thought about Sephiroth and wondered how he could possibly be alive after being sliced open like a watermelon. Mmmm, watermelon. He had to be strong enough to heal after something like that. She knew that she had to be strong too, so she wiped away her tears and set herself on waiting for the opportune moment when she could bludgeon her captor's head in with something heavy and sharp. She looked away from his line of sight and smirked evilly as she planned.

"Is there something that humors you, my dear?" DamIan insisted, still focused on flying. Aeris' face went back to a frown and stayed that way the rest of the flight.

Back with the gang that was in hot pursuit...

All the guys onboard the Highwind and in the engine room were fired up and ready to kick some Sephiroth clone ass. Dante, Kain, Legolas and Link were busy sharpening their blades while Kuja was contemplating which spell he should use first on the kidnapper. Vincent and Cid were too busy trying to keep track of Sephiroth, who was flying further and further ahead.

"I hope to the three goddesses of Hyrule that Aeris is okay." Link said as he went over all his bombchus and arrows.

"You're religious?" Legolas laughed.

"Of course I am! Everyone in Hyrule is!" Link told them.

"Well I know Satan's real and all but it's sorta hard to be religious when certain people never get incinerated by bolts of lightning." Dante said, loading his shotgun. Boomstick, hehehe.

"We're getting closer to the Northern Crater, that's where they're heading." Vincent said quietly, yet loud enough to be audible to the others.

"But most of that #&ing place was destroyed by (%#$ing Holy or whatever." Cid said confused.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Vincent told him. "Let's just hope my son can get there in time to stop that guy that looks just like him. Damn Ian or whatever his name is."

Aeris: That's not nice, Vincent.

Vincent: What? I said his name.

Aeris: and you also damned the Goughnour.

Vincent: ......... Whatever. If the Goughnour is also Sephiroth, then I can damn my son if I please.

Aeris: But it isn't nice.

Vincent: I only please one person a day. Today is not his day and tomorrow isn't looking good either.

Aeris: Oh, really, and who did you by chance please today?

Vincent: Heheheh, weeeeeeell... (Grins at Elisha as she walks in)

Elisha: SAVE THE WORLD!

Aeris:......... May the forces of evil be confused on the way to your house, Vincent.

Let us check with what Sephiroth has to think about all this......

The one winged angel rapidly made his way through the sky, hot on his test tube born younger brother's trail. He could faintly catch the smell of Aeris' perfume still lingering in the air as it streamed past him. He couldn't remember the last time he was so infuriated. In fact, he has never been so fumed over something, not even when Cloud defeated him. Oh, sure he was pissed but he just excepted the fact that he was beaten and moved onto death, which didn't last long because he was brought back for a second chance with Aeris. And it was because of Aeris that made him so mad. She was gone. Taken. He would not except that and forget about it. He was going to get her back. Sephiroth still had to get laid. Well, okay, he wasn't just thinking about that.... But he realized that he needed her if he was going to continue living this second chanced life.

Back in the Highwind.... Where I was blinded by tiny raccoon paws...

"We're almost ($ing there! Get ready, faggots!" Cid barked at the battle ready boys.

"Party!" Dante shouted waving around his sword and guns. "Let's rock baby!"

"Simmer down now, pitiful half demon." Kain said, licking a bit of blood off his sword from the last pack of hobos. "Someone once told me that when I absentmindedly lick my incisors, I'm either thinking about sex....or killing someone. And when it's rescuing Aeris from some jerk off, I'm expecting both."

"Yeah, like that's ganna happen. You, I, and even the audience pretty much could guess that she's ganna go for Sephiroth." Legolas told the vampire as he sheathed his twin blades. "But I believe we should at least try and kick this sick man's ass until he dies."

"We're almost there." Vincent said off in his own little world. "Almost."

Inside the Crater where DamIan and Aeris were.....

"I'm sorry I hit you earlier, but you were pulling my hair and it hurt." DamIan told her when he put her down gently. His demonic-like wings retracted and disappeared into his back and he took off his heavy black cloak. He wore a leather uniform some-what similar to Sephiroth's.

'Wow, he's really polite, even after everything that's happened. No matter, I still don't like him' Aeris thought, letting out a 'hmmph!' to show she didn't care about his apology. She thought about when Sephiroth would make it here in time to stop this clone.

"So what is your name if I may ask?" DamIan smiled nicely to her.

"........." Aeris was about to tell him to 'f off' but decided against it. "Aeris Gainsborough."

"What a pretty name for a pretty girl." He said partially to himself. "Tell me more about yourself."

Aeris wasn't sure why he was being so friendly and didn't like it; she didn't get around Midgar when she was younger by being naïve. She had to keep her wits up. "I sell flowers."

"So that's why you have such a large garden." DamIan laughed. "How old are you?"

"I just turned 23 a week ago." Aeris replied.

"Aren't you a bit young for my brother, about 8 years difference?" He asked.

"That's our business, not yours." Aeris told him, rather irritated that he'd begin to get rude now. "It's time for me to ask you some questions, mister. What are you playing at? What is it that you want?"

"To fulfill my father, Hojo's, request on finishing the reunion!" DamIan told her, raising his arms and laughing manically. She finally saw the similitude to Sephiroth besides his mirror looks.

"Look, idiot, I take it that you think Hojo's plans are all you have to live for, but that's not so! Seph—"Aeris began but was cut off when DamIan put his finger to her lips.

"I know. You weren't in his plans, but I've decided to keep you." He told her. Aeris was about to flip but he went on. "In case Sephiroth is to fail in the use of the Black Materia and is unable to proceed in the Reunion of Jenova, I shall take his place and complete the process. That's what he created me for. However, since Sephiroth failed and is unable to complete the process, I have no choice but to lure him here and take care of him."

"Reunion? Cloud told me about that... But there are no more clones and Jenova's dead! What do you mean take care of him?!" Aeris backed away. The terrain was very rocky and smashed so she almost tripped.

"Jenova does not matter anymore. And I must destroy my elder brother to keep him out of my way. Then, I will complete the process by summoning Meteor. Once it strikes the planet and the planet uses it's energy to try and heal itself, I will cultivate that energy and become a god, taking Sephiroth's place. And you, my dear, can help me in reshaping this planet over to our liking. Think about it, immortality will be yours." DamIan said taking her hand in his. "You have no idea how alone I've been over the two years after my father quit checking up on me two years ago. Come on, you're a beautiful young woman. You must be powerful if you can hold my brother away."

"Never. You're 'brother' wasn't being held away, he chose not to destroy this planet! He and I were brought back for a second chance! There is no reason to destroy this anyways. The only reason why he was going to do it was because Jenova was controlling him! Hojo only went along with whatever Sephiroth was doing so that he could finish his experiment! Hojo's dead now, so you don't NEED to 'finish' his stupid experiment! Live your own life, Sephiroth is!" Aeris screamed at him. He just stared at her before cracking up with laughter.

"You're so cute when you're mad! Really, I must comply to my father's wishes, even if he is dead. I have no other purpose in life." DamIan told her with a smile. Aeris realized that he's pretty much a semi-nice version of Sephiroth. Yet his stubbornness annoyed her for she was stubborn too, and when two stubborn people argue about something, it's not ganna stop any time soon.

"Make your life have a purpose then!" Aeris commanded. "That's what everyone else in life has to do!"

"I can not do that until after I fulfill my mission." DamIan told her as he pulled out his sword. Aeris gulped, thinking he was going to attack her. "It matters not, Sephiroth is here and soon I'll commence the plan."

Aeris blinked and looked around in the sky through the fallen crater debris and boulders around them. They were on a rock plateau in the southern part of the crater. She could see, only faintly at first, a shape come hurtling down towards them. As it got closer and closer, Aeris could make out the black pants, silver hair, and the black wing of Sephiroth. He slowed down a bit before landing hard on his feet perfectly. Aeris let out a cry of joy and was about to run to him when DamIan grabbed her wrist.

"You belong to me now." He told her, pulling her back away from Sephiroth.

"NO I DON'T! LET ME GO!" Aeris screamed at him as she clawed and bit his hand. Sephiroth launched forward to attack, yet DamIan sent him flying backwards with a hard punch in the chest. DamIan picked up Aeris and carried the struggling girl over to a safe area between two boulders. He put her down forcefully and cast a spell, creating a barrier over and around her like a cage. She beat on the walls of the barrier but to no avail. "SEPHIROTH!!!"

Sephiroth picked himself out of a now shattered boulder and outstretched his single black wing. His aura that surrounded him was radiating with a green light, his eyes illuminated with the same greenness but with more density. He was infuriated beyond compare. Tensely, he spoke. His voice shook from rage. "You know that noise Charlie Brown makes when Lucy pulls away the football? That's the sound in my head right now... I'm going to pound your ass into oblivion, punk-faced little brother!"

"Hahahahha! Nicely put. Hopefully your bite is almost as big as your bark, big brother." DamIan laughed as he went into a defensive stance. "Father would be ashamed if you were out of practice."

"Father?" Sephiroth inquired darkly.

"He means Hojo!" Aeris shouted, slightly muffled by the barrier keeping her pinned between the two large stones. Sephiroth's eyes narrowed.

"Hojo's not my father." Sephiroth hissed. A gust of wind past by the twin fighters, rustling their hair slightly around them. Cid had landed the Highwind up on a ledge fifty feet above them and already the gang of men were streaming down the side of the cliff towards the fighters. DamIan smiled. Sephiroth gave him a glare that would even scare death itself away.

"Surely he told you that he created you?" DamIan asked surprised.

"I know he sculpted me into a monster, but I didn't know he was possibly my father until several days before today." Sephiroth ridiculed. He turned around and pointed at the caped dark man sprinting towards them with the other guys. "That man is my father."

DamIan looked at Vincent and frowned. Vincent stopped and wiped away the tears of joy forming in his eyes. "Oh, son, I love you too."

"And if you were cloned from me, that means you too are his son." Sephiroth finished, still looking like he was going to kill.

"It matters not, I still must fulfill my creator's wishes. Prepare yourself, brother!" DamIan told him, raising his sword. Sephiroth raised his Masamune and they launched themselves at each other.

What will happen once their swords cross? Who will win this battle? What will become of Aeris? Will Kuja stop worrying about his manicure long enough to get to the bottom of the cliff with the others? And will someone die, with lots and lots of blood spray? Stay tuned for the next and final chapter of MOOGLES GONE WILD!!!!!!!!

Author notes now, peoples.

Sephiroth: (looks around) Is Aeris still at that damn café with Vincent?

Goughnour: Does she realize that I read this?

Kuja: Most likely, however, I don't think she cares anymore. It's so happy though!

Vincent: But Aeris. What happened to the depressing Goth café visits we had scheduled?

Aeris: LIVE A LITTLE!!!!!!! (Grabs a handful of Zoloft pills from the happy bouncing ball thing that happened to be bouncing down the street and shoves them down Vincent's mouth)

Vincent: (turns all happy and giddy) WHEEEEEEEEEE!!! ICE CREAM!!!!!!!

Sephiroth: I feel like I'm in a freakin' happy confessional house. Apparently, she's gone insane, but it's one of those happy kinds.

Kain: Yea. You wanna go kill some hobos?

Sephiroth: Sure.

Dante: I am so coming with you guys.
