The story begins after Cloud and Sephiroth disappeared from Radiant Garden in the middle of their fight. Sora, Donald and Goofy looked around in awe.

"Where did they go?" Goofy asked. "Do you think Cloud went back to his own world?" Sora and Donald shrugged.

A figure walked toward them and said, "Gone again." It was Tifa.

"What are you going to do now?" asked Sora.

"…I guess I'll keep looking." answered Tifa. "Light is easy to find."

…………

"Cloud…Save me…" A female voice desperately asked for help.

"Hey Cloud…We're friends, right?" A deeper voice asked Cloud with sincere.

"Cloud…you'll never let go of your past…" A mysterious voice said coolly.

"You'll never let go of your darkness…" The same voice whispered.

"SHUT UP!"

…………

That last voice woke Cloud up. He was sweating and panting, clasping one hand onto his forehead. He had been dreaming flashbacks every once in a while, but after the battle with Sephiroth, the flashbacks became nightmares. Those flashbacks haunted Cloud and made him feel uneasy every night. "……Why can't I let go of my past…?" Cloud questioned himself. He wiped his forehead, took his weapon, and jumped down the tree.

Cloud revealed his motorcycle, Fenrir, from a nearby bush. He dragged Fenrir out and started the engine. As he climbed onto his motorcycle, his whole life began to flash before his eyes. The day when he became a SOLDIER, the day when he adopted the Buster Blade from his fallen friend, the day when he joined the Avalanche rebels, the day when he witnessed the deaths of his comrades, the day when he slew Sephiroth with the help of his friends, the day when he rescued the world from the invasion of JENOVA's "children"…all the flashbacks of his life were replayed through his mind, but there was one flashback that was missing from his memory. He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember it. "…Maybe my mind is telling me not to remember this." Cloud thought, and drove off with Fenrir.

Cloud passed through the familiar buildings of Midgar. As he drove pass the remains of the reactors, he realized that this world looks more miserable than it was before they had decided to destroy the reactors. Cloud's actions also made the citizen's lives more miserable. However, it was for the benefit of the planet: The reactors convert Lifestream energy into usable energy, damaging the planet's lifespan. Cloud drove by a group of children playing in an abandoned alley; He pitied them because of their losses of their parents and families. Without another look at the city, he drove out of Midgar.
