I am the angel's devil. I know that now. I knew that to begin with, but that doesn't matter anymore. I was proclaimed a hero, the savior of the world, along with the rest of our rag tag team. We had a ceremony and everything. Reeve gave us all medals as a crowd watched, cheering and screaming. To them I'm a hero: the devil that slew the angel. In doing that, I'll be remembered for many years to come.
But, I don't care. It doesn't matter to me if I'm remembered or not. I've gotten all that I've wanted. Everyone said that I killed the angel to save the world, to stop Meteor from striking the planet. But truly, in the final battle, it was the last thing on my mind. I think I can even say saving the planet didn't matter to me at all.
All I saw when I gazed into his eyes were the fires that consumed my home. I wanted revenge. There's no other word for it. I wanted him to suffer for all the pain he had caused me, and I have been satisfied. For all the lives he took from me, for all the pain, I slew the angel. I broke him, freeing the blood from his veins.
The angel. That was so close to heaven, that graced the earth with his presence. The angel I wished to be, the one I once admired. The one who's life I have twice taken.
History can write me as the hero if they wish, paint me as the knight in shining armour, while they make him to be the villain. It doesn't matter; I've gotten my revenge.
I'll always remember the moment the angel fell, crashing to the ground, his blood dyeing his feathers red. No one saw the satisfied smile on my face then. I had broken the angel, deprived him of his wings. The world didn't matter then. If it had been a choice between saving the Planet and killing him, I'd have taken my revenge. I killed him for the loss of all those I held dear: mom, my friends, my entire hometown, and Aeris.
I remember seeing her there. She was protecting us. She's the true hero, praying for Holy. I am but the angel's devil, flying upon black wings, delivering death to those I hate. I could have easily become the villain, but I am known as a hero. Everyone knows me now. I'm the man who killed the angel, fighting with all his heart and soul to save the world... a hero in their eyes.

Weee! I'm so prod of this one. I came up with the opening line a few days ago and it practically wrote it's self from there. I love the way it puts a whole new spin on the final battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. Anyway, please review!
