Yazoo did not have to wait that long. At seven o'clock in the morning he rolled over and started when he saw the outline of a tall man silhouetted against the white light of the corridor in his cell.

"It would seem that you've got yourself in quite a quandary" said the fellow in a cold voice. Yazoo could feel his pendant warming up as it sensed the power of the man in his cell.

"It is Kadaj" said Yazoo sitting up "He's set all of this up because I have got feelings for another" the tall man walked over to Yazoo's bed and sat down. He held out one hand and set it on Yazoo's forehead. Yazoo felt all of the images from the last three days flash past in his mind. The tall man removed his hand

"Kadaj is a slippery character" said the tall man who had just got back to his feet "Come, we will sort this out"

Yazoo got to his feet and followed the robed figure who had his face covered by his dark robe across the dark room and through the door. The four Garden faculty who stood there, two more had been added due to Yazoo's dramatic escape. None of them moved, they stood there as though in a trance. Yazoo waved his hand in front of the face of one.

"They're entranced" said the tall figure "Come"

Yazoo and the tall fellow walked through the deserted Garden and up the stairs into the dormitory. When they arrived at Kadaj' room they could hear voices

"What are you going to say when he arrives?" asked Loz

"I do not know" said Kadaj "I guess I'm going to have to prove that Yazoo is breaking his promise to become a powerful being"

The tall figure raised his hand and the door hissed open. Kadaj and Loz started as the tall man walked through the door into their room followed by Yazoo.

"Sir" said Kadaj bowing instantly with Loz.

"I have seen images of the last few days from Yazoo" said the man "Now I want to see it from you" the robed man raised his hand but was interrupted by a cocking of twenty or so guns from behind them.

"Try anything and die" said Squall who had seen Yazoo and the other walked through the Garden.

"I am here to solve your problem" said the tall figure.

"Turn around slowly and lower your hood" said Squall. The figure obliged. He turned and removed his robe with a swift tug.

Silver hair fell to his lower back and his ice blue eyes glittered unnaturally. The black clothes he wore put his hair and pale skin into sharp focus.

"My name" said the figure "Is Sephiroth"
