This is my first Final Fantasy VII fanfic, so I hope you like it. This will have an OC as a major character, so don't get upset.

I will probably need someone to be a beta reader for me, because I have not played FF VII much…ok almost not at all, and just trying to get it accurate from a walkthrough guide will only get you so far. So a beta is required eventually. Any help offered will be greatly appreciated.

Well…Let's get to it then…

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy or any characters related to it in any way. If I did I wouldn't be begging for a beta reader to help me now would I. Only my OC is mine…If you try to take him I will hunt you down and kill you where you stand.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire. All around me. Chaos and Death.

Sephiroth…How could you do this? How could you kill all these innocent lives? Leave everything around you in ash and destruction? Leaving men, women, children; young and old alike to burn or bleed to death at your feet without pity.

You were always so strong…how could you loose yourself…leave your sanity in ruin? What did you find in that library that would reduce you to a psychotic madman?

You were my General, commander, confidant…my friend. Why? Why do you force me to hate you? You are one of the only ones that treated my like any other…despite my looks and disability. What could make you throw that all away?

What makes us traitors, Sephiroth? Why do you deny us an explanation? You are leaving us, your friends and subordinates, to do the unthinkable…you are giving us no choice but to take action against you…You are forcing us to have to kill you.

All this senseless suffering and pain makes me want to scream…to shout…to cry out to Gaia in anyway I can to make this stop…to save those that didn't disserve this.

But…I cannot…I have a job to do, I can't use what I don't have to fix this; I must take action, and Zack agrees with me. He probably doesn't want to do this even more than I don't want to.

We heard that our guide, the young girl named Tifa, went after Sephiroth to try and help her father at the Mako reactor. If we don't get their soon…

Me and Zack. Two SOLDIER's on a mission to try and stop the most powerful man in existence…our friend.

Zack and I find the young girl at the bottom of the stairwell…badly injured…nearly dead. She had been driven to try and get revenge on Sephiroth after she found her father dead with Sephiroth's sword, Masamune, impaled thru him.

Zack tells me to watch over her. To wait for him to confront Sephiroth and do what he must. I can do nothing but obey him. I watch over the poor girl, trying desperately to keep her from bleeding to death from the terrible wound across her stomach. She is unconscious but I can tell she is in pain. I want to comfort her, ease her pain somehow, but I don't have any Heal Materia, and I can't say anything to help her calm down, so I wait.

I can hear Zack yelling at Sephiroth…His usually calm and happy voice is sharp and cold, and filled with confusion, sadness, and rage. I can hear the sounds of combat. I can hear the clang of metal upon metal as Zack fought his Commander. I can also hear gasps and slight noises of pain and the sickening sound of a sword upon flesh, but the worst thing is that I can tell that all those pain filled sounds are only coming from Zack…He is losing.

I can do nothing as my unnatural glowing eyes, even more unusual than a regular SOLDIER, follow the trail of the broken rag doll form of one of my best friends, his large sword falling at the doorway to the inner sanctum. He slams into one of the small Mako tanks, denting it, and lying limply along it, sparks flying all around him; him not even flinching.

I abandon my watch over the girl and run to my friend and try to revive him. He is out cold; blood running down his face, from under his sleeve, from his side, and many other injuries I know are hidden from me. Sephiroth…How could you do this to your friend?...If he can do this to Zack…he can't truly be my friend…

I stand and draw my weapon, watching the green light of the Mako around me as it dances off of both blades; If Zack won't be able to fight, I will take over for him.

I rush into the fight with my General, trying to show no mercy. I try all in my power to stop him…But he wins easily. I thought that Zack would have been able to at least slow him down, but he seems stronger now than ever before…How can that be?

He sends me out the same door like Zack. I fly sideways and crash into a Mako tank on the other side of Zack, my double blade slipping from my grasp. I try to cry out in pain with no luck, I also try desperately to keep awake and get back up. I am unable to.

I hear footfalls coming this way fast. Thru my blackening vision I can see our young Trooper friend, Cloud, run up the steps grabbing Zack's Buster sword on the way… Maybe…Maybe if one of those thought to be weak went against him…He may have a chance…Kill him Cloud…He is beyond redemption…

I hear Zack trying to move, I turn my head agonizingly in his direction. He does the same. We lock gazes…We don't need words…Cloud has to do it. With that last silent communication between us I slip into darkness…

We are counting on you, Cloud…Win…Please win…Sephiroth cannot get away…We cannot let him destroy other homes, towns, cities,…lives. End the madness…Sephiroth asked us to save him from the evil of the world…he would want us to save him from the evil in himself.

Free him…Please, Cloud…Zack……Gaia…Set him free…
