Chapter 8: Deeper down the abyss-Part 2.

Sephiroth was an expirement, that was the truth. Hojo's lust for science brought him down to something forbidden. Many years ago JENOVA was found in a crater, Hojo was one of the many professors studing it at the time, they believed that JENOVA was one of the ancients. Seeking a way to create a new ancient, making one themselves artififically. Hojo injected a sample of Jenova into Lucrecia his wife. One year later her baby was born, his name was Sephiroth.

(S): "Pathetic!"

Sephiroth's sword ran down to Zack's throat, his rage burning deep inside of him, the Jenova cells spreading fast. Zack quickly rolled to the side gaining confidence, he grabed his weapon and launched forword, Sephiroth quickly spinned around countering the blow as they both clashed.

(Z): "What...happened to you Sephiroth!"

Sephiroth pushed even stronger with his rage burning deep, Zack stumbled back but regained his stance.

(S): "Nothing"

They both readied there weapons again, Zack rushed forword swinging his blade to Sephiroth's right shoulder, Sephiroth easily blocked it, and Zack retracted his weapon. He then launched his weapon again to the left but lower, Sephiroth barely blocking it again moved his weapon forword, Zack moved his body to the side to dodge it and swinged his weapon back.

(S): "Your better then I thought, heh!"

Zack ran again jumping up into the air, his weapon high up ready to blow down, Sephiroth readied to block it but underestimated the force of the blow and was stumbled back, Zack then swung again wounding Sephiroths right shoulder ripping off the cloth.

(S): "Damn you!"

Sephiroth clenched his wounds, he looked towards Zack who was breathing heavily.

(Z): "It's not too late Sephiroth, just give up!"

Sephiroth ran forword sticking his Masamune up in the air, he sent multiple slashes towards Zack at a high speed Zack stuck his sword out in front of him for the first blow but then was knocked away. The next hit wounded his chest as he was sent flying back and Sephiroth also flipped back. Zack barely landed as his shirt was torn, a small but powerful cut bleeded on his chest. Zack stood watching Sephiroth his blade stuck into the floor to give him balance. Sephiroth laughed and jumped to the side of a wall jumping back and forth from wall to wall with his weapon drawn, he jumped towards Zack who quickly drew out his weapon from the ground and blocked the swing, he then drew his weapon back and swung at Sephiroth in mid-air.

(Z): "You bastard!"

Sephiroth dodged to the side and landed down, Zack had his weapon in his hands, he rushed forword as Sephiroth landed and swung his weapon knocking the masamune out of Sephiroth's hand.

(Z): "THIS IS IT!"

Zack drew his weapon back and was about to strike when he heard a gun shot behind him. Zack slowly turned around filled with rage as Sephiroth behind him blacked out onto the floor. In back of him was Hojo standing not far from the entrance, he had Aeris in his hands and a gun pointed to her head.

(H): "If you do it, she will die."

(Z): "Hah! You won't kill her. You can't, you need her and you know it!"

(H): "Hahahaha, that's where you are wrong. She's a half-blood,a half CETRA half human! We don't need her anymore so if you dare strike down shes gone."

Zack readied his weapon, Hojo was pressing lightly down on the trigger, the tension was rising between the two but a thud to the ground stopped it. Zack's weapon had fallen as he put his hands up. Aeris was free of Hojo's grip and ran towards Zack.

(H): "You have been disbanded from SOLDIER Zack, if I catch you in this building again, your dead!'

Zack ran through the building window holding Aeris, he landed down on the emergency staircase as Hojo ran to aid Sephiroth.

(Z): I'll be back for you Sephiroth

Zack ran down the staircase with Aeris, his wounds now fatigueing him and Aeris blacking out from the tension. He hopped down onto the street and ran to the 7th Heaven inn where he knew would be the closest place to rest. He entered the bar, the damage made the bar look all broken up. He saw Cloud with Barret and other men standing which immediately shifted there attention to Zack.

(Z): "Please...she needs somewhere to rest..."

(C): "Is that...the flower girl?"

Zack's vision became blurry he almost stumbled down as Cloud approached him.

(C): "Zack, you okay? What happened?"

(B): "Quickly come up, we got a place in the hideout"

Zack barely walked up following Barret, he placed the girl down on the bed and Zack's eyes blacked out.
