Chapter 8

A Mother and Son Reunited, a Friend Uncovered From an Unwelcome Past.

Tifa had unfinished business. She wiped her tears away and gently flew up to Denzel. Denzel was indeed crying to.

"Let's get you outta here." Tifa whispered gently to him. Still sounds of sobs in her voice. Tifa cut the rope and grabbed Denzel in her arms.

She gently flew down and placed him on the ground. Denzel hugged Tifa tightly. "Mama!" Tifa held him tightly in her arms. She gently rubbed her hands through his hair.

"Hush my baby…hush…it's alright now. You're safe…now…" Tifa's wings burst and white feathers surround them both.

Everyone was happy to have him back. Cloud walked over to his family and kissed Tifa on the head and rubbed his son's head. Smiling at them both. Everyone was happy to see Denzel save and sound. And Tifa alive from the battle.

Zeke now knew he is never meant to be with Tifa. He knew that even though he wanted to be. Cloud your lucky you just don't know how good you got it man…you just don't know how good you got it.

Zeke sensed a familiar presence.

"Well, well Tifa you should did grow. And Cloud you had finally admit your feelings to Tifa. What a surprise…" A man that looked like Zeke stepped out of the shadows. He had long black spike hair, blue eyes, and had a buster sword like Cloud.

"I always knew that Alena couldn't handle herself on her own… oh well her lose."

"Zack…" whispered Cloud in shock. Zeke couldn't believe his eyes! No one could.

"Your suppose to be dead…" said Cloud

"You died right in front of my eyes!" Zack smirked

"Yeah but old man Sephiroth resurrected me to do his bidding. He's hitting on nothing. Anyways come on Cloud let's fight." Zack stepped forward.

"No." everyone looked at Zeke who had his sword pointing at him.

"He's not your opponent. I am…and you will pay for what you have done!"

"Well, well if it isn't Zeke. Man it's been a while. I'll accept your challenge then."

"Wait a minute you two know each other?" asked Cloud.

"Unfortunately yes…he's my older brother… it was him, me, and our younger sister Leana. After our parents died a mysterious death we were forced to take care of ourselves. When we were teenagers Leana became very ill and had been injected with Geostigma. Not long after Zack left us to join Shrina for some money. We haven't seen him since them.

I was left with a sick baby sister and my brother ditched us for some dream. Soon later I was out some where getting some food. Some Shrina solider came up to me asking me if I knew Zack and if I was his younger brother. I told him I was and he attacked me almost killing me. I was running to see my sister if she was alright. I return to see Zack there and him killing our sister. I wanted to kill him. And then I was unconscious.

After that awful day I was healed and trained to be as strong as my brother. And get revenge. Soon I got word that he died by some dude in Shrina. I had no family…I was alone so I traveled.

But now that he's back I have my opportunity. Brother you're going to pay for what you've done! Aaaahhhhh!" Zeke was charging towards him with his sword.

"DIE!" swords clang twice and Zack hit Zeke with his sword. The huge buster sword was pierced through Zeke in his abandon area. Zack pulled out his sword and Zeke fell to the floor.

"Sorry Brother, but business has to be taken cared of." Zack wiped the blood of his sword. Denzel's eyes were covered by Tifa's hand. Yuffie was stiffened with fear and she covered her mouth with her hand to stop her from screaming. Vincent held her in his arms.

Barret was retraining himself from charging towards Zack, along with Cid and Red XIII also Cait Siff. While Cloud was shocked. He stood behind Tifa clinching her shoulder.

"He's not dead is he?" Asked Tifa looking up at Cloud.

"No, he's not unconscious yes." He replied. Everyone was relieved of that he wasn't dead.

"So Cloud it's me and you know. Ya Ready?" Cloud said nothing but looked at Zack coldly. He nodded and left Tifa and grabbed his buster sword and was in his stance ready to fight. Zack smiled in return and grabbed his sword and was ready to fight.

"Let's go!" they both said and they charged for each other.
