Chapter 4

The last chapter

The first thing I saw when I became wide-awake was Denzel running just before it. I had to impede him close to the monster! Why this fuck body can't move when I needed to! All of a sudden, Barret seized Denzel and fired the monster. Fuh…thanks to God.

"Marlene's safe, right?" he asked, turning his back to me. Without waiting for answer, he turned back again to defeat it. Then Cait saith jumped to the monster while Barret was shooting it. The monster flew higher to avoid Barret's shot. O..o…o Cait Saith was brought along by the monster! He attacked the monster and it threw him off of it because he just liked a bug for it. The monster landed and Cait Saith attacked again. His strike beat it but the monster could counter-offensive and Caith Saith again was chucked again by it. The monster then damaged Barret when he was filling up his bullets. Shit! Suddenly, a boomerang hit the monster. I recognized the boomerang. It was Yuffie's. about a second later, Yuffie came from the air, using parachute. Then she landed. But not a good landing because she was covered by that parachute when she landed. I snorted, looking at that foolishness of Yuffie. Now that all had come, all things seemed funny. It looked like she was able to stand up and revealed herself.

"Ugh!" she felt sick. I swore I really wanted to burst out but it was rude to laugh at her. But she took no notice at my weird face-maybe I could hold it out greatly-

"Who's using my material's!" she demanded my answer.

"The bad guys, of course!" I smirked at her.

"Damn them!" than she swing her boomerang and ran into the monster. My…my…what an energetic girl.

"Who's that?" asked Denzel. Before I could answer Denzel's question, monsters-not the flying one- assaulted us from every direction. I shielded Denzel, just like before. Then Cid came in front of us and seized the entire monster using his long stick and rolled the entire monster then lobbed them all.

"The new version of Sierra. I'll let you ride it later." He waved to me and just like Yuffie he ran toward the monster. Abruptly, I heard a murmur. I seek the voice and found out. It was Vincent. He walked slowly headed for the monster. My eyes followed him.

"Who is that people?" repeated Denzel after all of the interruption.

"They are all friends" I answered. Denzel looked at me in an all-were-great way but I ignored him. Out of blue, Cloud came with his motorcycle and stopped in front of us.

"Marlene is safe. I dropped her off at the store."

"Right" I nodded as an agreement. But it was more than that.

"It feels lighter." He said suddenly.

"Huh?" what is he talking about?

"Maybe I wore it down by dragging it along so much." Ah… I see… I couldn't help but only smiled. My heart was full of happy feeling. In fact, it was going to spilled.

"I'll go back to store by myself. I'll be waiting with her." said Denzel. He ran back to the store. But suddenly, he came into a halt and said, "Cloud, you'll come back too, right?" Cloud concurred. Denzel looked satisfied and continued his running. Than I rode his motorcycle and we went to our pals were. We arrived at them; they were at an ongoing building, by the time Cid was in dangerous. Cloud hurdled up and bail out him. On the other hand, I jumped to them and set down between Cid and Vincent. Cloud hit the monster using his two-handed sword. Cloud situation not look good. Than he joined his sword and jumped, spun his sword and hit it. This time it was successful. The monster fell. Fortunately, Cloud landed. I thought we had won but it looked it wasn't easy to be defeated. It flew higher…higher…and higher to attack us. It appeared we think the same because we came into our position- the position from below: Barret and Cid, Cait Saith, Yuffie, Vincent, and I-. Cloud jumped and came into Barret. Barret threw him up and he got to the monster and attacked. The monster still flew higher, although the strike damaged it a lot. but Cloud fell. Cid held him and threw him higher. Then it came to Cait Saith, Yuffie, Vincent, and the last was me. I jumped from my place to the air. Didn't think anything but to made Cloud flew-if you could say it fly-.

"Not yet." I shouted. I threw him up. I fell and landed easily beside Yuffie as I watched him from my place. The monster had shot his attack. No! But he could penetrate the hit and able to embed his sword and cut it in half. He did it! Cloud landed. When he turned back his head, he looked at something far away and he rode his motorcycle.

"Cl…" Yuffie walked to him, to join with him, but I held her in the shoulder. She turned her back, looking my explanation but I merely shook my head.

"But…" she complained.

"Let him go alone. We will catch him later." I explained.

"If we don't help him now, he might be dead!"

"You had traveled long way with him, so do we, and you still think he will be dead just because of this?"

"Well…no" she said, hesitant.

"Great. Now we catch him using Cid's new Sierra"

So it decided. We went to Cloud's place using Cid's new Sierra.

"There he is!" shouted Yuffie, happily when she saw Cloud.

Cid drove the plane closer to him.

"Cloud, I brought you some materials!" shouted Yuffie. The plane unsteady causing some materials fell from her embrace.

"Don't shake it!" scold her. I only grinned looking her childish way.

"Hey Cid! Hurry and let us down!" said Barret.

"Shut up! Just jump! Jump!" barked Cid.

"Let them fight by themselves." Said Vincent, coolly as ever.

"Huh?" said Yuffie, perplexed.

"That guy is spirit of Sephiroth. You could say he's kind of a larva."

"Larva? Bug? He's a bug?" she panicked my…she didn't catch it.

"Calm down, woman" warned Cait Saith.

"You are saying that he'll turn into Sephiroth one day?" convinced Cid. Turn into Sephiroth…Cloud… wait a minute!

"Hey, do you think that Cloud knows that?" asked me

"probably"

"I see… let's leave them alone." If he can't win against him than he can't win against Sephiroth. Cloud…I believe you can win. You have understand how to defeat Sephiroth, haven't you?

"I don't get it! Explain!" query Yuffie.

"It's man talk" said Cid

"Discrimination! Discrimination!" protested her as she throw her material at Cid but her aimed wasn't good enough because it hit Caith and not Cid.

"Calm down, woman" shouted Caith.

"Us, men don't understand either" calmed Barret. They didn't know what had happened to Cloud. I guess I must clarify all to them.

"2 years ago…that strong feeling that he definitely had during the last battle. Though it was 2 years ado, somewhere along the way he lost that feeling. I think its that brought Cloud to us." I explained.

"Cih…I'll wait in 10 minutes"

"Cloud sure is in pain, just as always, huh?" They can understand…, great.

"He's honest" I replied. And we watched him. the not-so-long-gray-hair man attacked Cloud but Cloud could manage it and made that man fell. But he could prevent his falling by hanging the floor using his right hand and his left hand holding a black box that was sealed. He seemed bewildered than he made up his mind. He threw the box and jumped into it to catch it then hug it. He fell. Cloud jumped down and hit him. but he could defended himself by using his more-and-more-long sword. No! he had change into Sephiroth! Cloud! Cloud looked shock too because then he jumped up. Sephiroth followed him too than they talked for some minutes before Sephiroth raised his hand and the sky became dark. And they fought again. Cloud was thrown into a building and they perished. God…I beg you please make Cloud win.They showed up but still fighting. Cloud started to lose. He got stabbed in his right shoulder. Cloud! Then he took off the sword, stood up and stabbed it to the wall behind him. He attacked again. Sephiroth jumped, in order to defend himself, followed by Cloud. Then Cloud released all his sword into 6 swords (7 with sword in his hand) that surrounding Sephiroth. He took his sword one by one as he slashed him.Cloud landed but Sephiroth still in the air. A dark wing appeared, wrapping him, and disappeared. It became the gray-hair man again. He wanted to attack Cloud but he fell. Cloud caught him just in time. Then rain fell and he perished because of the rain itself, became the life stream again.

"He did it!That's how it goes!" said Yuffie as he jumping happily.

"See? Just like I told you!" said Barret. I was so happy that I didn't realize that I was clapping. He did it! He has won against Sephiroth! He has won against his darkest mind!

"A man! Cloud-san is a man!" cried Caith Saith.

"Cloud can do everything if he puts his mind to it!" I said.

"Hold on tight, you guys" warned Cid. Something went down in front of me. I looked down, curious. It was a drop of water from the rain outside. I gazed up to see the source just to say, "You were always with us, weren't you? Thank you." Then I turned over and nodded to Cloud. When I thought all was over, someone behind Cloud shot him.

"Cloud!"I shouted, so worried. It was the two brothers. They used materials in all of their hands. Cloud turned his back and attacked them. I didn't know why but the explode just happened and I couldn't see a thing, not after some minutes. After all smoke had gone, I only saw Cloud lying unconscious. Where were those two gone? Were they pass away like their brother? I felt bad for them. Cid drove us down to Cloud's and took him inside.

"What must we do?" he asked.

"Take him to the cathedral" I ordered. The cathedral… I hope it can cure cloud.

"okay" he obeyed, without saying a word.

After got there, I was so shocked. Place where the flowers bloom was replaced by water and many people had gathered there, including children that was infected by Geostigma and that had been cured-it looked like the rain before had cured them-. There were Denzel and Marlene too. They came to me.

"Put him in the center of the water." I instructed. Barret who brought him did as i told.

Than some children who had cured came in, surrounding Cloud. Not so long until he awake. He stood up and looked here and there until his eyes fond a girl who said, "Sister told us, ' Cloud will come here' she said."

"Welcome home!" I greeted to him. He turned over and scanned the room before his eyes met mine and I nodded and smiled to him. then he said ," I'm home"

"There are still kids who have the geostigma" said Red.

"yeah" he replied. Than he came to me, knowing that behind my back was Denzel. I stepped aside to revealed him.

"Now we're getting you cured." I said to him. Cloud was near us, but still in the water, then he stretched his hand.

"It's alright now" he said.

"try your best" inspired me. Denzel nodded and went forward to the water. Cloud took the water using his palm that was being stick together and poured it above Denzel's head. Then the Geostigma gone… He turned his back and everyone was yelling happily.

"Now everyone jump!" said Cid

"It's cured! It's cured" said Yuffie

Then children jumped. I couldn't help but to smile widely. Then as our eyes met I folded my arms and smiled to Cloud. He smiled back to me. I was so happy. Really! Now, everything was over with a happy ending.

The End

Writer's note: well, how was it? Finally it's over. Fyuh… Now it's really over. To tell you the truth, I wasn't in the mood when I made chapter 4 but I think it wasn't good to delay again so I made it. I'm sorry if it wasn't good enough. RnR?
