Chapter 6

The Ancients Temple and the Surprise Assassin

Since Tifa and Cloud were informed about Denzel being captured everyone was on the Highwind (except Shera and Rie) headed for the Ancients Temple. Tifa was on Deck waiting till Cid had announced that they had arrived. Cloud had just walked on deck to see Tifa holding on to the rail looking out into the desert looking for the temple. Tifa sensed him and said nothing.

Cloud reached for her hand and squeezed it tightly.

"We'll win and get him back. I promise." Tifa looked at him. She still showed signs of her being pissed. But she nodded. She trusted him and knew that they would get him back.

"Just promise me you'll be careful and… what ever happens… I love you."

"I promise if you promise the same promise." he nodded.

There were now signs of the temple. But everyone was out on the bridge disguising one last meeting before the battle.

"Ok this is it. This is the last time were killing this bastard. What ever he has in store for us we can take it! Remember what were fighting for! Remember what we want for our planet! For all those people who suffered at Sephiroth's hands and Jenova's! This is for us! For Gaia! For Denzel!"

"YAY!" every cheered.

"No let's kill this bastard and make sure we send him to his grave!" Cloud had finished his speech and everyone had cheered on last time.

They were now off to the temple. To do what they had ventured for.

It wasn't long till they were in the Final chamber. They had difficult battles from the fiends along the way they had to deal with but they made it. Most of them were tired from fighting, but not Tifa or Cloud they were ready for more. Including Zeke. They reached the final chamber where they saw a hooded figure. Tifa saw them and stepped up.

"Who are you?" The hooded figure smiled.

"Are you the group AVALANCHE?"

"Yes, are you the assassin who took the boy!" the figure only laughed.

"Indeed I did. You must be Tifa Lockheart."

"And what of it?"

"I heard much about you. You won't believe how much I know you."

"I don't give a damn! Where's is he!"

"He who." The figure chuckled.

"Don't toy with me where is he, the boy! Answer me damn it!"

"Look up." The figure pointed to Denzel above him unconscious. He was hanging over Mako Poison Rope was tied around his waist. He was dangling over the poison any second he could fall in. Everyone was horrified.

"One slip and he'll die. Unless for a battle. What say you?" Tifa had her eyes on Denzel and looked really more ticked at the figure.

"I saw bring it!"

Cloud stopped her and grabbed her hand.

"Tifa let me fight."

"Cloud we made a promise! I'm going to keep it damn it! But I made a promise to protect him! And I'll do anything to get him back safely to me! US!" Cloud let go of her hand.

Tifa stood up to the figure.

"Bravo. But before we fight I would want to introduce myself." The hooded figure took off their hood to reveal…

"Tifa! No wait but that's not Tifa!" screamed Yuffie.

"That can't be Tifa. He hair it's shorter and her eyes it's a little hazel." Pointed out Barret.

"Indeed I'm not Tifa. I'm Alena… Alena Lockheart. I'm Tifa's younger deceased twin sister."

"No."

"Tifa you never told me you had a twin sister. I never knew about…" Tifa was just as babbled about it to. He face was emotionless. She was shocked and she didn't know what to do.

"I… I thought… I thought you were…"

"What you thought my heart gave up on me! You thought that I Alena was dead. You thought that our father cremated me. WRONG! They left me in the dumpster I was dieing until Shrina found me and planted Jenova's cells in me. So how about sister dear. Ready to die?"

"No… how… why... WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!" screamed Tifa. Rivers of tears were running down her face.

"Why would you help a monster that wants to destroy us all!"

"Why you ask to get revenge. I was supposed to get the most attention. I was the one who was worth for a working heart. I was worthy to live happy with everyone loving you! ME TIFA I T WAS TO BE ME NOT YOU! YOU DON'T FUCKING DESERVE IT!" Alena was now charging towards Tifa. Tifa finally got back to her senses but it was to late her sister had already gotten to her.

Alena punched Tifa so hard that Tifa's body flung to the other wall. Tifa was still up and was far from out. She already was bleeding. Cloud was about to step in but Barret grabbed his wrist.

"Our Tifa can handle herself." Cloud couldn't do anything but watch.

"Well sister I may be the youngest but it seems you're the weakest."

"No… you…cough shouldn't do this. It's wrong. I will not fight you."

"Really well if you don't that boy will die! Fight me sister show me what your made of! You scared! You afraid that your little sister would beat you in a battle in front of your friends?"

"No! I can't fight you. I shouldn't. That's not what… a sister should do."

"Really when she's trying to kill someone you love! Or just really don't love…"

Tifa had enough. She looked at her so called sister. And her eyes shifted to the young boy on ledge tied up above the deadly Mako poison. She remembered that she almost lost Cloud forever to that poison. She had her share of it to. She didn't want Denzel to die from it. None the less have his on share of it.

She feared that she must save him by fighting her sister. Even if it meant fighting to the death.

"Alright. I'll give you what you want. A fight you want. A fight is what you're going to get!" Tifa said adjusting her fighting gloves and getting into her fighting stance.

"K lets get going!"

They both charged with full force. Who will win?
